The Indian Troubles.

LEAvENwoRTu, Kansas, Aug. Is
A fight has taken place near Fort Reno,
where the Indians drove off IS head of
government mules from Col. Caring
toms camp. They were followed by
mounted meu The Indians turned
upon the pursuing party, killing seven
and wounding two, and escaped with all
the stock. A party of officers and re
cruits going to the Eighteenth. United
States Infantry were attacked at Powder
river, and two men were killed in the
attack. The Indians did not succeed
in stampeding tho stock. They have
attacked several trains since that time,
and killed four men and wounded many
more. The red skins are I'll around
Fort Reno, firing on the pickets the
whole night. The Indians hold the
whole country, except the military
camps. There is evidently general
outbreak among all the tribes on the
plains. Six hundred Indians made
their appearance near the northern line
Of Utah Territory, ON the Holiday
stage line, creating a great panic among
the settlers in that vicinity. The Den
yer News has the following: '.I'he In
dams have returned to the vicinity, of
Fort Garland, New Mexico, and are now
engaged in the indiscriminate massacre
Of all the Mexican inhabitants they can
find.

A New Civil War.

General Butler has been making a
speech at Gloucester. The synopsis Of
his points sent us by telegraph, contains
two open threats Of a new civil war, il
the people Of the North do not stand by
Congress, and prevent the restoration o.
the Union. The Massachusetts, Radi
Gals, he says, twill march, and woe tt
himthat opposes them'' These threats
BY the Radicals will assuredly frighten
nobody into the support of their policy
they will only strengthen the growing
feeling that it is high time the Union
was restored, and the whole country
again under the protection Of the Con
stitution. The longer settlement is
deferred, the more bad blood will be
stirred, and the moro difficult it will
become for these dangerous and incen.
diary Radicals to yield a quiet obedi
ence to the laws. sH
'"This war; says the valorous and
chivalric Butler, tI''must be settled by
those who fought it." meaning, we sup.
pose, such formidable and victorious
commanders as the two most conspicu-
Gus Massachusetts generals, Butler and
Banks A shining record these illus
trious opponents of a settlement have,
in comparison with General Grant,
General Meade, the hosts Of really
fighting officers who have signed the
call for the Cleveland Soldiers Conven-
ton, to indorse the policy of the Presi-
dent ! Could there be a greater stretch
of impotence than for this Big Bethel
blunderer, this digger of the Dutch Gap
ditch, this. fugitive to and franz Fort
Fisher, this g"bottled up" Butler, the
scorn Of General Grant-could there be
a greater piece of impudence than for
him to spout charges and innuendoes
that the fighting generals do not approve
the Presidents policy?-M T. Horld.

The Radical Conventions.

The best evidence we, can afford the
public of the nature Of the Loyal
Convention that will assemble at Phila-
phia on the Sd Of September, is to be
found In the following announcemend in
the N. Y. Tribune of Saturday ::
Erred. Douglas, it is reported, has
been elected a delegate from Rochester
to the Loyal Southerners Convention in
Philadelphia, which will make no objec-
lions to his color Such recognition
OF the stake his race have IN the country
is ii noble contrast with the admission
of the worst Of Rebels, to the Randall
Convention. The Union party, is per-
fectly willing nay, anxious that the
loyal colored men should have a voice

STATE SOVEREIGNTY.

Some years before the war, the Gov
ernor of Kentucky demanded of the
Governor Of Ohio a fugitive from jus,
tice who had fed to the latter State. =
The Governor of Ohio, unable to deny
the constitutional provision under which
the demand was made, refused to give
him up, on the ground that Ohio was a
sovereign State. This Governor was
afterwards a member of Mr.. Iincoln's
cabinet. Kentucky carried the-case to
the United States Supreme Court, and
it was there argued for Ohio on the
same ground Of State sovereignty which
the Governor had assumed in refusing
to deliver up the fugitives, ,Thereupon
the Supreme Court Of the United States
unanimously decided that the constitu-
tional requirement to deliver up fugi-
tiyes in such cases was beyond all doubt,
but that the Constitution made no pro-
vision for eoercing a sovereign State,
and by referring to the journals Of the
Convention which formed the Constitu-
ton, it appears that it refused to adopt
any remedy Of that kind, and thus no
power Of compulsion existed in the gen
eral government, IA oarr ,,l,..T
Chief Justice Chase, it is we'll known,
when Governor Of Ohio, proclaimed The
doctrine of State sovereignty as broadly
and unquahfedly as it was ever announ-
ced by Jeff Davis, and the Legislature
of Massachusetts, formally resolved that
the annexation Of Texas would warrant
a dissolution of. the Union. Yet the
South is never to be forgiven for acting
upon principles which had been repea-
tedly proclaimed by the leaders Of Rad !
iealisin, and which it had always believ-
ed to be true. The very men in the
North who were foremost in announ-
cling these principles are the most in
tolerant and vindictive in demanding
that the South shall be punished for
practicing what they preached, whilst
the consistent and CONSERVATIVE Union
men are the only ones who recommend
concil Lat ion and lforbearapce.- Bait.

Row at Camp NSeefinm.

A fearful riot occurred at camp
meeting at shipley's Woods, Anne
Arundel county, near the Washington
Railroad, on Thursday night last. It
occurred between the Whites and
Blacks. 1t seems that some mischiev-
Gus persons were tormenting the colored
people during their religious services,
when they were suddenly attacked by
the negroes who used clubs and pistols.
Ihe whites retreated towards the
PREACHERS Stand. The white men raj
lied in increased force and the colored
people. left their tents and property,
which it is said were destroyed by the
mob. A young man named Benson
was shot through the neck, whilst kneel-
ing In prayer before the public stand
by an accidental shot. He is said not
to be in danger. aue, siat baar
We are sorry to see this riot made
!. use of for electioneering purposes, It
might have happened any time; but no
doubt it has been aggravated by. the
jealousy between the races increased by
late political events. The policy Should

REGISTRATION.

As far as we can learn, registration is
proceeding in a satisfactory manner in
all the districts of the County, except
in Manchester, Myers and Taneytown,
where the Registers are said to be ac-
ting in the style most approved Of by
the Radicals. We hear great complaint
Of the conduct of Registers in these
Districts. Many have kept back, un-
willing to subject themselves to the OBJ
noxious course of the Registers, and in
hopes that they might be removed -
The Governor can remove them for in
capacity or misconduct; but we have
too much to lose by the necessary delay,
and other obstacles. To justify reno
val the evidence of misconduct must b.,
glaring- such as refusal to administer
the oath to applicants, sending them
word to stay away &c. indicating an un-
fitness to act as animpartial judge and
not what may be considereda mere mis-
taken judgment, such as refusal to cor
rect cases improperly entered last year,
on which there may be difference of
opinion.
We have no doubt, should the Gov
ernor revoke the commission of any of
these refractory Registers, he would be
advised to refuse to surrender the book
to his successor, rendering a.mandamus
necessary, which would have to be de-
cided by the County Court, after await
ing the laws delay. Should new books
be furnished it would doubtless lead to
litigation; or, at all events, to the at
tempt at exclusion of such voters by the
judges of the election, who are not ex-
peeted to be favorable On the whole
we have concluded, that the best that
can be done is for all who are entitled
under the law to demand their rights at
the hands of these Registers, submit
ting to their vexatious proceedings
rather than lose their votes which
their adversaries most desire. The
votes we might thus lose may be the
means of our losing the Conservative
ticket in the County this year, as well
as the candidate for Congress who is to
run against Frank Thomas. All who
think President johnson wo, thy of sup
port should make some sacrifice to sus-
tam him. The worst that can happen
rs, that some of them may be rejected by

The Progress OF the President.

President johnson, and Company, on
their route to Chicago have had con-
tinued ovation. Countless multitudes
welcomed the distinguished party every
where. Public receptions were accord

speeches made by the President which
were much applauded, particularly at
Philadelphia and New York. At Phil
adelphia the demonstration was made
by the merchants mechanics and people.
At New York by Mayor Hoffman, the
city authorities, and the people. He
was received at Albany by the Cover

The Registry Law.

We call attention to the opinion of
Hon. Reverdy Johnson|on the Registry
law, endorsed by other able lawyers
After this we do not.know how any one
can doubt as to theright Of correcting
the improper entries Of last year. We
shall expect to hear that nearly all our
Registers are following the advice now
given by eminent counsel in all parts OF
the State.
We give below some interesting ex-
tracts from an article written in Hagers-
town and published in the Williamsport
Free Press. 81
The law in effect reads: ssAny one
who has given aid, comfort countenance
and support by any open deed or word
declaring his adhesion to the cause of
the enemy"
Any one whose mind is not deformed
by prejudices will see at a glance that
the open word or de ed must be decla-
ration Of adhesion to the cause of the
enemy"
1t is not, therefore, any word or deed
in opposition to the publ measures Of
the administration. All men. at all
times and everywhere in this country
have had the right to do that. The
open word must be one of adhesion to
thesenemy, net. zone wherein the citizen
declares, as the constitution of the Uni
ted States entities him, his dissent or
| objection or hostility to the public acts
of those in power. FL
To say that the "war was wrong" or
that the emancipation proclamation was
unjust, or that, the arrest of citizens was
'styrannical," that the measures Of gov
eminent were oppressive, or any other
conceivable expression or declaration
of dissent or disapproyal of the admin
lstratlon, no matter in what terms Or
language; whilst it may have been very
unpopular, was still not declaring adhe-
sion to the enemy, or expressing ''de-
sire for the triumph of the enemy.
| %
The words spoken must be declara-
ton of adhesion to the easen.y-not Of
opposition to the public acts of men in
power. a ~ ~
But this is not all the words of ad
hesion may be spoken and proved, Tut
unless they were openly declared they
do not constitute disqualification.
Now the Constitution speaks only Of
an open word and deed. Not any kline
Of word, but an open word or deed
This word open was put in the law fol-
some purpose, and it is the duty of the
Register to inquire and consider it,
meaning. 1-H
Why is the word open used? Why
did the law not simply say any acord
without saying open word
The reason and Interpretation is too
plain to be misunderstood r.
A declaration of adhesion to the enc
'ny, made in an assemblage of people
and in their hearing, openly, is withH
the terms Of the law. Declaration
openly made, with view to influence
public opinion, and mould public senti
ment are the open words meant by thu
Constitution. But a declaration mad,
by one acquaintance to another is no
such an open declaration or expression
as is meant blythe law aas 30

must be speedily obtained. The more

by the Registers, the more effective viii
