Convention should look more TO ability
than availability. From the list presen-
ted they can select more than one who
would confer honor upon the Territory.
The delegates from Nmaha will pre-
sent the name of Hon, w. Upton,
because they know him - come up to
the Jefe rson standard. possessing hon
esty, capacity and integrity. He has
iademilatle energy, and was al orator OF
distinction long before he came TO Ne
brasEa. Few men are bis equal ON the
stump. !, may be urged by some that
lie is a citizen Of Nemaha County, and
on the principle Of rotation in office they
may prefer taking a man from some 9th.
er place. But if The Convention is sat
isfed that be is the best man and capa-
Die of making the best campaign they
should not hesitate TO nominate him. The
doctrine Of rotation in Office is great
evil. Il has in fact almost ruined our
Country. In the South they never ad-
heardtto rotation in Office" When they
got q man in Congress that suited them
they kept him there, In the North they
pursued the opposite policy. Conse-
quendy the members from the South be-
came statesmen and crafty politicians,
always able 10 out-manouver ms and carry
their measures, though in numbes they
were a minority. There perhaps never
vas a Congress that contains 80 many
weak members Of all parties as present
the result of The doctrine Of rotation in
Office. The most able men in more than
a hundred Congress- onal districts were
ignored because they did not happen to
live IN the right County or Ward. We
have no wish to Gisparage the claims of
any one from any other county; we want
the Convention TO select the best man.
Since the above was In type. we have
learned that Gage County goes for Tip
ton. Burt and Cumming Counties, for
Irish first and Upton second. The del
egaies from Douglas, according 10 a pri.
vate letter received here, will be divided
between Saunders, Paddock, Hitchcock
and Lushbaugh. Many of the Dele
gates, however, from different parts of
the Territory, prefer Daily to any other
man, if he would consent to be a candi.

INDIAN HosTILITIEs ON NIE
PI A

For weeks past we heard accounts of
d%ePredaliOns by the Indians in Western
Kansas, Colorado and on the roads to the
Mountains. Our readers have heard Of
the massacre by the Indians, of the
TeamSters belonging 10 Crow & Barrett's
Train on the road from Kansas to New
Mexico. There murders and thefts were
all committed by long.hGired Warriors.
and hence belonged to some of the Rocky
Mountain Tribes.
Some four weeks ago the Shyenn
Chief e~a word to the Governor and
others Ct Colorado that 4 portion Of their
tribe were hostile TO the whites, and that
they could noi control them. Lately they
have attacked numerous trains and ranch-
es on the Platte River road. Last week
they killed z men at one ranch and two
at another near Cottonwood Springs
They seem 10 be impelled merely by a
devilish instinct for murder. They at
tack and murder Unfortunately, all
whom they meet, men, women and chill
dren, and half-civilized Indians as well
as whites. The Potawattamies that
passed through this place a few days ago
on q hunting excursion 10 Iowa, were
prevented from going to their hunting
ground on the Republican Fork, from
fear Of the Shyenns. The other tribes
living near the Missouri River,-the
Pawnees, Otoes, and M;ssouris, Sacks
and Foxes, Iowas aud Shawnees-ail
united together ia their hunt on the Re-
publican, thinking they would be strong
enough to defend themselves against the
Shyenns. For a while they kept them
at hey, and during this time depredations
oil the roads against the whites were
checked, but it seems that the various
bands Of the Shyenns all got together,
gave battle 10 the allied tribes, and rout-
ed them with gres, slaughter. This &C
complished, they divided up again in
small companies and came back TO the
road to murder all the whites they could
find !
On Sunday they cams on to the LeaFA
enworth and Fort K%earney road and al
the same hour, A O'Clock P. M, attacked
all the ranches between Haekney's and
Comstock's. and murdered as many as
sixteen citizens, probably more hat have
not bhen found. About 20 came to Com
stocks ranch aad surrounded the house
in a threatening manner. One of lhem
who could speak English called to a Mr..
Kelley, who vas there, to come out to
the indians, He of course would not GO,
but told the interpreter to come to the
house if be wanted to see him. The In
dian came up, shook hands with Kelley,
and commenced to talk. Kelley asked
him what they meant, that their appear,
snce indicated war. ''Oh" said the In
dian, I've friendly; we no hurt white
man we had fight with Pawnees on Re-
publican, and whipped them, but we lost
our provisions, and come Over to see white
man and eat bread. "L~By this time
MIR. Kelley and a Mr.. Butler had come
outside Of the door; a signal gun was
fred in the brush, and every Indian drew
his bow aud fred. One arrow passed
clear through the breast of MIR. Kelley
who expired Immediately. MI. Butler
and one other man fell dead. They
would "r-hably have come into the house
