The Late Kentucky Election.

From the Milwaukee News. '.-f--
The facts as to the late judicial election in
Kentucky, cannot be too well understood. and

Words of 10 Truth and S0bernes
from q Republican Senator. II

We call attention of every reader to the calm
and able speech published elsewhere, delivered
by Senator CowAN, of Pennsylvania, in The
United States Senate, on the 9th of June, a
few days before the close OF the late session,
when that body had under consideration Mr..
TRuMBuLl.s amendment repeating the joint
resolution Of July II, 1862, which qualities the
confscation act and limits forfeitures under it
to the life Of the offender. Mr.. COwAN is "a
patriot and scholar as wen as distinguished
member of the Republican party, and his words
cannot fail to have weight with all who peruse
them. Nothing can be palmer than his dem
onstration that the course Of the Administra-
ton has been such as to unite and embitter the
South, while it distracted and divided the
North, and If any one after attentively weigh
ing his argument, can satisfy himself that It is
possible for Mr.. LINCOLN to save the Union
and give the country peace and national integ-
rity, we fail to see the process by which such q
conclusion is reached. ...,.-,-.. ..1

General Indian War Threatened

The intelligence We print this morning
from Colorado and Kansas, together with
the murder Of our own citizens fl Blne
Earth County, is not Of a pleasing charac-
ter. Governor EVANS Of Colorado, is sat
isfed that nearly all the Indian tribes of
the Plains are combined in war against
the whites, and predicts it viii he the
largest Indian war this country has ever
had, and that it will extend from Texas to
the British line. This view is confirmed
by Gen. CURTIS in Kansas, who states
that white men, supposed to be rebel
emissaries have been tampering with the
Indians to induce them to rise against the
whites Since we have used the heathen-
ish, inbruted negro in our warfare against
the rebels, we must not wonder if they
use such instruments as they can find
most suited to the work of retaliation q 81
If o general Indian war is opened along
the frontier from Texas to the British line,
onr tender-hearted Eastern humanital ians
are in some degree responsible, and
President LINCOLN is not, entirely
blameless. More than three hun
dred Indian ,fiends, convicted, after q
fair trial, of the. most hellish atrocities
upon the settlers, Of Minnesota, and SEN
fenced to death, were allowed to escape
the fate they so richly deserved by his
foolish clemency. Some of them have
Deem allowed to roam over the frontier
again, and it is not improbable that they
are those who committed the murders
below Aankato, to revenge the deaths of
thirty-eight Of their brethren hung by
Colonel (now Governor) MILLER in that
town in December, 1862. If justice had
then been allowed to take its course. the
Indians "from Texas to the British line -
would have been struck With terror, and
never would have dared to invade our
State again. The news of such terrible
vengeance Of the whites, on their guilty
brethren would have. sped across the
plains almost as fast as bird could fly, o.,
We t ust our military authorities will
not again be guilty of the weakness Of
sentencing Indian murderers to death and
awaiting the Presidents warrant of exc
