THE FIRST GUN OF TIE CAM.
PAIGN- DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
In kENTTCkH.

The first gun announcing the opening
of the political campaign OF the fall of
1866, heralds a Democratic victory
kentucky, no longer controlled by bayo-
nets and bloated provost marsha's, in her
late election, gave her verdict III ia vor of
the Constitution, the Union, and the
equality of the States. officials returns
from Al counties give Duvall, Democrat,
a majority Of 25,13S; and i. is believed
his majority in the State will exceed A.
900 AS far as heard from, only five
counties give maorites to the abolition
candidate. Nearly all the Democratic
candidates for equity Offices ,hroue hout
the State have been elected. This result
from the people of State who two years
ago were ground down and disfranehised
by the brutal Paine, is a cheering indica.
ton that the people are being olsen
thralled from the spirit of military des-
potism.

The cholera has broken on! in Saint
Louis, and au average Of six deaths occur
daily. For the week ending August 9Th,
80 deaths from cholera occurred in New
Orleans. 1t is confined principally to
the blacks.
This disease is gradually bu. surely ex
tending itself throughout the country,
and it is becoming evident tia. i: will not
sabside until it has made q com plete cir
cult of the whole country. Within three
weeks it has extended from New York
and Brooklyn to Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, and to many
smaller cities and villages. wailss few
cases are reported from sparsely settled
farming districts in Michigan. Its at
,acks are eithe. less m ahgna,t than for

Of its ,errors, as the fatal cases show bu,

A dispatch from Washington says that
"all traders have been prohibited from
selling arms and ammunition to the 10
dams BY order Of Brig. Gen. Cook, COM
handing the department of the Platte, in
accordance with instructions given to In.
dian agents by the commissioner Of In
dian affairs. Comuandirg officers Of all
troops in the department have been d.
rected 10 take vigilant and decisive mea-
sures for the prevention OF all sales bar
ter or gift Of arms and ammunition to
Indians
This is another illustration Of the econ.
omy Of locking the door after the
horse has been stolen.' For several
months past Peace Commissioners, con-
sisting of superanuated political fossils,
have been visiting the different Indian
tribes upon the plains, and presenting
them with arms, ammunition, clothing
and provision, aud ia almost every case,
as soon as the Commissioners backs were
turned, the Indians commenced an indis.
criminate assault, upon settlers and emf
grants, using the weapons which had been
placed in their hands by the men, who,
upon their return, sought to create the
impression that they had made " lasting
and advantageous treaties Of peace" with
the savaees. The only thing that has
been satisfactorily established by inter.
course with the Indians, is the fact that
so long as the Government persists in
buying their friendship, just so long will
they murder and rob every white man
who comes within their power. And uu-
til the Government acknowledges this
fact, aud shapes its policy accordingly,
there can be no peace with the Indians
that they will regard beyond the value Of
q string of red beads.

| HORSE STEALING-A FRANK ADMISSION
person OF moral appearance giving his
name as George Owens, was charged in the
Police Court with the theft of horse, wag-
on and pair of harness. With frankness
which was certainly refreshing. if not over
wise, the prisoner stated that he vas guilty
OF the crime charged, and proceeded to give
all the particulars He said that he borrow
ed horse and wagon from B. B. Jewett's
livery stable at Kenosha, Wisconsin, about
the lst OF July or the latter part of June.
With this conveyance he came to Chicago,
arriving here on the third inst, and on that
day he sold the entire establishment to Con-
rad Metzger of No. 246 Michigan Street.
Since then he has been living on the pro-
ceeds OF the SALE Metzger at this point con
tinued the story. He disposed of the prop
erty to man on Canal street, and that pur-
chaser soon resold to third party. Shortly
afterwards, Mr. Jewett came to Chicago and
with the aid OF the police found the horse
and wagon. The last owner was carged with
larceny, but he showing that he had bought
the property was discharged, and purchaser

out OF his difficulty by showing that Metzger
sold to hun. Therupon witness was arrested
but ne showing owners bill of sale also es-
capped, but was obliged to repurchase the
property and hand it over to MIR. Jewett.
Thus the matter stood until yesterday fore
noon, when happening to meet Owens on
the street he handed him over to officer S.

prisoners bail was fixed at $1,000, and in
default OF that sum he was committed to the

Martial Law declared in New Orleans.

The city of New Orleans was the scene of
disgraceful and bloody riot, on Monday
last. The occasion was the assembling of the
loyal Union men of the city in convention.
The rebels, or those lately in rebellion
against the Government of the United
States were opposed to the assembling of
the Convention and on Saturday last tele-
graphed to the President to forbid the u S.
troops from interfering to protect the con-
vention. The President telegraphed to the
military to protect the convention. Incited
by the rebel Mayor-the infamous Munroe,
the convention was mobbed. some of its
members killed or wounded and others ar
rested. Gen. Baird commanding that dis
trict in the following general order, estab-
lshed martial law over the city and appoint
ed military Governor

1t is unfortunate for President Johnson's
policy" that his rebel friends and support
ers in the States lately in rebellion, should,
wherever they have the prestige and power,
make such exhibitions of disoyalty and ha-
tired of the Union and Union Men, as this
New Orleans affair and the late Memphis
riot and butchery. Nothing could more
convlncingly demonstrate the good judg-
ment aud wisdom of the majority in Con-
gress, than these exhibitions of continued
unhtness of the great majority of the late
rebels to be entrusted with the power of con-
trolling either State or National legislation
