Humphreys VS.. Samuel Mccormick,
eft al

1t will be seen from our letter from
Terre Haute, that Andrew Humphreys
OF Greene county, has commenced suit
in Sullivan county against Samuel Nc
Cormick and other Union men of that
county, for false imprisonment. 1t will
be remembered that Humphreys was
arrested, arraigned and tried. with
Bowles, Heffren, Milligan and Horsey,
for conspiracy against the Government
of the United States, as well as other
charges not necessary to state. The
proof, as it relates to Mr.. Humphreys,
shows most conclusiveIy that he belong.
ed to the conspiracy; that be was a
third degree member Of the Order of
American knights, and that he attended
the State Convention of Knights in this
city, on the 18th of June, 1868. 1t was
also proved By witnesses who were not
impeached, that on the 4th of June,
1868, Mr.. Humphreys was in Sullivan
county at the head of an army OF four
hundred men, following a detachment
of United States soldiers who had inn
pressed a horse for the uss Of q sick
soldier, and that members of the mob
army under Humphreys wanted to kill
Mr.. Cowgirl, Deputy United States
Marshal, as well as any other man who
would attempt to enroll Cass township
in that county.
Humphreys was appointed Major Gen.
ersl at meeting of the leading Knights,
and was to have command of the South
western division of the State, and it il
said that the valiant General dug bitches
and threw up breastworks near his resi-
dence, intending to initiate his Southern
brethren, il necessary, by dying in the
last ditch. After Humphreys arrest
and confinement in this city, he was
very humble, and seemed to regret hav-
ing taken part with the enemies of his
country; but since he has been allowed
TO range at will through Greene and
Sullivan counties, he seems to be more
bitter and turbulent than ever, and Union
men who have in the least helped to
serve their country, either in the field or
at home, may expect to be the recipients
Of his envenomed hate.-IndiGnGpoIis

LoyaI Soufhern Paper.

tits a great pity there are not q few
more such able and loyal Journals IN
the South as the Richmond Republic.
If there were we are sure the work Of
restoration would proceed with an &C
CELEBRATED speed. We have not failed tc
observe that wherever Southern jour.
nal 10 thoroughly loyal TO the Govern.
meDt of the United States, it is also dis
posed to deal fairly and justly by the
smaDcipated negroes. Perhaps this il
a good test of loyalty in men as we'll a.
in newspapers. For il must be remem.
bered that the negroes themselves have
done the Southern people no injury, and
whatever spirit of persecution and NAL
ice is exhibited toward them must be
intended fer the Government. In az
article showing the capacity of the ne.
gro for freedom, the Republic Of Satur
day says:
We by no means concede, however
that the African race in the Southern
States, If the white race promotes their
Improvement and welfare by all the in
Auence they can bring to bear upon
them, are incapable of conducting them
selves in their new condition with pro
priety and good order. If we are to
judge Of the future BY the past, We have
reason TO conclude just the contrary.
Considering that they have been slaves
so long, that for thousands of years their
race has been condemned to servitude,
and that from this abyss of degradation
and ignorance they have been suddenly
raised to the bright sunlight and bracing
air Of freedom, it would not have been
wonderful If they had universally given
had persistently resisted all efforts to re-
duce them to regular and Industrious
courses. But we have seen no such re-
suit Of the abrupt and beEildering traHsi-
ton from slavery to freedom. ...- Rl
On the contrary, whilst many of them
have for Q time mistaken liberty from
bondage as liberty from work, it has only
been for time, and the great mas OF
them are now returning to their old pur-
ouAtor anu UAAAotsau6 . 1OhAOp OtfoSoAhO-
ty, steadiness, and good sense which no
one could have anticipated. They have
shown not only good sense, but good
feeling; they have manifested q desire
to live in peace and harmony with the
white race, and the instances in which
ever disrespect and rudeness of manner
have been manifested have been excep-
tional and not general Besides, it
ought always to be borne in mind that
they are not responsible for the change
OF relation to their former masters; that
they have not lifted finger to procure
their freedom; that whilst the process
was going on, inaugarated by our own
secession, they remained passive, loyal,
obedient, and, therefore, are the last
men in America toward whom should be
exhibited prejudice or rancor on account
Of that which they had no agency what
ever in producing.
Loyal men in the North should make
it 9 rule to give papers in the South,
like the Republic, such patronage as
they may have TO bestow in that direc.
ton.

A Puzzled Darkey.

A Southern correspondent relates the
following, and calls it a true yarn:
A good story is told of a scene which
lately took place between freedman and
Dutch Lieutenant who was acting in
the capacity of Provost Marshal 1t
seems that the Teuton officer, represent
ing the majesty of the United States,
keeps on hand, in order to make his office
pay, small stock of tobacco and ginger
cakes, to sell to the freedmen. One day
a strapping darkey poked his head in at
the door and asked;
"War is the massa provostY
Veil, vat you wants p demanded the
Dutch Lieutenant
"Well, | quit working down dar on dat
place" said Cutfee.
An vot de tevil you quits for p in.
quired the officer.
"Why, you see, massa, dey's onny glib
me one-eight of de corn, and ober on de
odder place dar, dey gibs one.sixteenth. "
Come in here, you tam black skin"
said the officer. Nov you buys these
two shinger cakes for twenty FIVE cents,
and Eat is sheap."
Cuffee pays down the quarter.
well, now, look here NIT you, con-
tinued the officer; 81 cuts dis shiuger
cake in eight pieces; you see Eat ~

broad grin.

in sixteen pieces; you see zat p
Yes, saF,"
"Vell den, you tam fool, you goes back
to your place; for you see re von-eight
ish more peter zan ze von-sixteenth. "
Cuffee left apparently satisfied, but
still evidently very much perplexed in
Teutonic arithmetic.

prosneots of Another European War.

The Berlin correspondent Of the Lon
don Times states that another European
war is imminent iie says
1t is generally recognized that the
present peace is merely an armed truce
which may continue for year, perhaps
for two, but certainly not beyond, and
which will be succeeded by struggle to
which the war with Austria was hardly
more than childs play. Whenever it hap
pens, we may be pretty sure that Frus-
sia will be well prepared for III far from

is enlargIng and completing it, her ar

Confederate Exiles.

The press of Europe and the United
States seem equally interested in keeping
the world informed of the whereabouts
and the occupations of prominent Con.
federate exiles. The interest manifested
in these gentlemen, many Of whom are
worthy representatives of the heroic land
in whose service they exhibited the sub.
lime self-sacri6ce of devoted patriotism,
is agreeable to US and hattering testi-
mony to their distinction. A few days
since we saw paragraph stating that
Gen. Magruder, of big Bethel and
Peninsula fame, who routed Butler,
with one-fourth the number of the latter s
force, and efectually foiled Mcclellan
by his admirable strategy before York
town, contemplates an early return to
the United States. He will doubtless re-
ceive hearty welcome.
From our late fellow-citizens, General
Price, Judge Perkins, Governor Harris,
and others, who are now in Mexico, we
have frequent intelligence, which, untor-
tunately, is not favorable as to their stu
alton and circumstances. We sincerely
trust that these eminent gentlemen,
whose expatriation is especially deplora-
BILE, in consequence of the unstable and
insecure society of which they are mem
bers, will promptly abandon the life of
discomfort and privation which they have
chosen, and return to the grateful peo-
pie who respect their virtues and honor
their fidelity to the great cause in whose
loss we were common participants.
True to his brave instincts, and to his
devotion to the faith which he was slow
to embrace, but which he so valiantly
defended, General Early has assumed
the pen in exchange for the sword of
Southern vindication In Canada, gal
liant " old Jubal is preparing history
| of his campaign with Sheridan, which,
we feel assured, in the judgment of all
candid readers, will completely explode
the bold and groundess pretensions to
military fame of Cavalry Sheridan" I"
the despoiler of the valley, and the au-
thor of more ridiculous gasconade, bla-
tant brsgadocio and of less really valua-
BILE service in proportion than any mill
tary coxeomb in history.
The duty which General Early has un-
dertaken is a high and indispensable
one, and in his hands, we are confident,
will be executed with vigor and fidelity.
1t is due to the hallowed memories of the
fallen and the position of the South in
history, that adequate reputation should
be interposed against the false impress
sions and misrepresentation which flow
with endless industry from the pess of
Northern historians. The pretended
weight of "official statements" in many
cases the mere reflection of the passion
and the mendacity of the heated contest,
should be offset by the evidence OF the
patriot soldiers who we're eye-witne,ses
and participants, and who have the facts
to vindicate the honor of themselves and
their country.-Richmond Examiner.
