a Horrible Murder---A Returning
uiner kills ono OF his Compuu.
ions, and Mortnlly Wounds Aao-
thcr.
We learn from John Thompson, ESQ.,,
Of the Sioux City and Fort Randall Ex-
pres,, some Of the horrid particulars Of a
murder committed BY q passenger on q
Mackinaw boat from Fort Benton. A
party Of ten miners purchased a boat at
Benton, and started down the river. All
passed off pleasantly until within about
GO miles of Fort Randall. Here the par
ties stopped for the night, and went upon
q sand bar adjoining the shore to sleep.
Some time during the night one Of the
number, while all the others were asleep,
took an axe, and with one blow instantly
killed one OF his companions. He then
struck another man, inficting q fearful
wound in the shoulder, nearly severing
the arm from the body. The cutlery Of
the wounded man awoke the balance Of
the party, who, thinking in the confusion
OF the moment that they had been attacked
BY Indians, hastily assisted tho injured
into the boat and pushed of from shore,
leaving the murderer and the dead man
upon tho sand bar. AZ the party re-
treated the murderer fred n shot after
them from q rife which was left on the
shore. Tho party arrived at Fort Ran
dali, where the wounded man wal ad-
mi,ted into the hospital. But little hopes
are entertained for his recovery. A num-
Der Of soldiers from Randall, together
with some of the miners, started up to
bury the dead man, and endeavor to ar
rest the murderer. The object of the cold.
blooded villain was undoubtedly to kill
all Of his companions and possess himself
Of their gold. Our informant did not
hear the names of any Of the party
.Siotr Citv REGISTER.

Tho Election Returns,

II 10 quite singular that we get the com-
plete election returns from all the Eastern
States before We do from our own. We
do not know what the reason 10; perhaps
the officer, Of election are generally more
intelligent and public spirited, and thus
make the count sooner, and at the same
time take some pains to inform the public
by giving the result to the different papers.
In this State nor in this county have We
the full returns. We have been unable to
get the returns from Silver Creek precinct,
nor reliable information what the vote
was neither have official returns como in
from Ruby Valley precinct No. l. Their
long delay gives rise to suspicion hatthey
have been taken possession of BY some
one for q rascally purpose. We would
suggest to the County Commissioners that
they make some effort to find the lost re-
turns or to procure the duplicates yet in
possession Of the officers where the cleo
ton took place. From the returns so far
received throughout the State we ascer-
tain the following majoritiss For Con-
gresham, Lander county gives Ashley IA
majority /; Storey, 50 Lyon, 204 Orms-
by, 100; Douglas, '(si1 precinct.,) IA ;
Esmerslda, (shree precincts IL Washoe,
81. Total, so far, 637.
Six precincts in Churchill county give
Mitchell q majority Of l6. Humboldt has
gone mixed on county and Legislative
ticket but will probably give a fair ma.
jority for Ashley. Nye as far Al heard
from gives q small majority, IA, agains,
him, but it is confidently relied upon that
Pahranagat will turn the majority in his
favor. and we may confidently calculate
upon q majority for him Of 800. For
Governor, Lander county gives Blasdel
II majority. Storey county, 1872; Lyon
county, 100; Ormsby county, 1871;
Douglas county, IiI precincts, l76; Es-
merslda county, three precincts, IL;
Washos county, q precinct to hear from,
lo4. Total, S05. Churchill a. far a.
heard from, gives Winters . majority Of l.
The vote Of Humboldt we have not
learned, and that from Nys cannot BE- told
until the returns from Pahranagat are re-
eeived. The Union majorities for Con-
gresham and Governor are less than any
others on the State ticket, the others pro-
baby receiving about 1900 or 1900 ma
iority.-Rsess River RereiHe, 1871.

Virginias
J. B. Baldwin, who 10 spoken Of IS ian
x-Confedsrats and prominent politician
Of Virginia, has written . letter in which
he says:
al do not see why he could not be con-
victed Of treason in Virginia just 90 well
as any other man could DO convicted OF
any other offence, If the law is distinctly
laid down to the jury, and you happen to
get an honest jury. I do not see why not.
In Virginia 900 out of every 1000 people,
at least. were in the same boat with JEFF
ferson Davis. I do not sxaggerate when
I say 900 out of every 1000. And OF
course you would find it difficult to get
any confederate Of his, those who were
with him, and fighting for him, and hur-
raining for him all the time, to desire to
convict him. They would not do 1t II
they could help it; but that you can find
enough honest men in Virgins or any
other Southern State to respond to a ques.
ton Of fact, I am well satisfied as l am OF
anything. Take my own case ! never
believed in the right Of secession, l do not
believe in it now. 1 always looked upon
the whole thing as an absurdity and q
humbug. I always believed, and believe
now, that as a question Of law, right and
power. the Government had . right TO
hang JEFF. Davis and me too. The ques.
ton Of power and the question Of policy
are different questions. II I were to sit
as q juror on JEFF. Davis's case or my own,
or Keen's, I would not need any instruc.
tons from a judge to make me say that he
ought to be hanged-not a bit. These
are my views Of the law and Of the facts.
There are a great many people in Virgins
| of the same way of thinking"

SOUTHERN LoYALIsrs'" ADDRESS TO
THE PEoPLE.-The committee appointed
BY the Convention lately held at Philadel-
phia to visit the tomb Of Lincoln, having
performed that duty, have issued to the
people of the United States an address
dated a. Springfield, ILL.,, the 18th ult.
In this address they say that the popular
demand is: First-That Andrew John
son shah not be permitted to usurp and
exercise the powers of Congress in add.
ton to those Of President. ~Second-That
disloyal men shall not be permitted to
rule either the whole country or any part
thereof; and, Third-ThAt the loyal men
of the South, black a. we'll a. white, shall
be protected in all their rights as Ameri-
can citizens. They then proceed to say
that the President has usurped the powers
Of Congress ; that disloyal men are in por-
tons Of the country in positions Of power
and responsibility and that the loyal
men Of the South are not protected in
their rights. These propositions are ar
gued at length. The address concludes by
demanding an Act Of Congress which
shall ' these points: al. That no
man who took part in the rebellion shall
be permitted to vote or hold office, q. least
until he shall have complied with such
conditions a. Congress may see ft to i'm
pose. 2. That all loyal men, without re.
spect to color or race, shall be permitted
to vote. 8. That wherever it may be
needed q local military force shall be or
ganized, consisting solely Of loyal men,
and that the expense of organizing, equip
ping and maintaining said force shall be
betrayed BY that portion Of the commu-
nifty whose conduct renders it's presence
necessary"

Nre Comfy Election Returns.

From Mr.. j. NJ. beLlrude, CLERK elect OF
Nye county, we have received the MAORI
ties Of the vote given at P%ahranagat, which
with the reported vote Of San Antonio Of
four for the Union, enables NC to give the
maiorities Of the county. At Pahranagat
there were seventy-one registered voters,
and the m~sjorities range from 81, for As
s%emblymen, to SO for Justice Of the Peace.
The majority is generally SO. The major
titles in the county are as follows: For
Governor-Blasdel, u, 36. Lieutenant
Governor-Slingerland, u, 81. Congress
Ashley, u, %. Secretary Of State
No,eware, u, 20. Supreme J~udgs-Lewis

and Smyth, u, average majorities, 36.
Justice Of the Peace-W. E. Allen, SO.
Cons,able-G. J. Cole, 81. The vote
elects q Democratic Senator and Surveyor,
but it is reported that the election at
Warrington was conducted in an illegal
aud very disorderly manner, and that it
will be thrown out. The vote at that
p~recinc. was three Union and fourteen
Democratic for Senator, and four Union
and thirteen Democratic for Surveyor;
consequently, should 1t DO thrown out, the
whole Union ticket Of Nye county will be
elected by fair msjorisies. It is doubtful
IL any newly elected Senator will be ad-
mit,ed, As the position already belongs to
Mr.. Proctor, who could not DO removed
against his own will but by very arbi-
trary proceedings. The only success,
then, the Democrats will have is their
election Of Surveyor Child ovsr Tagliabue.
The PahransgatSrs have done nobly, and
they shall have q road opened to their
country and q mail route established SON.
Meeting them with Austin and the great
world at the very earliest moment. Their
good deeds in redeeming Nye from the
clutches Of the Democracy shall not 90
unrswardsd, and they may rest assured
that their patriotism will be noticed in
high places. The Democrats Of Lander
felt very confident that by ~colonizing at
Ophir Canon and Belmont, they could
carry Nye for their party, and still leave
enough at home to secure Lander also.

movement, and the desperate effort to gain
two Asssmblymsn from Nys, lost them

A CURIOUS INVENTION BY A WORKING
xAN.-At the Industrial Exhibition in the
Agricultural Hall. Ellington, London,
there 10 shown an invention by which the
action OF q shower Of rain is made to close
an open window. The window, when
opened, stretches two Indian rubber
springs. These springs are prevented
from drawing the window down by means
OF a curved rod fxed outside the sash, the
end Of which works up and down in q
tubular bell-mouthed stand on the win
dow-sill. A little piece Of loaf sugar 10
inserted into the mouth Of the stand, and
the end Of the rod is let down gently upon
it. The sugar prevents the rod descend.
ing into the tube, and Of course keeps the
window sash up. As soon Is it begins to
rain. the bell-mouth Of the tube collects
the drops, the sugar 10 melted. and no
further obstacle being presented to the
action Of the India rubber springs, the

F1sNpIsH TREATMENT OF Two WHITE
GIRLs.-Cap,ain Barlow, Of General Sher-
mans staff, has arrived at St. Louis from
Fort Dodge, where he saw two white girls
named Doye, one II and the other 10
years old, who had been ransomed from
the Klowa Indians. The girls say that on
the 9th Of August the Kiowas attacked
their home in north. western Texas, and
killed, scalped and burned their father.
They, with their mother and sister eight
years old, were carried off in captivity,
and treated with the utmost cruelty. On
arriving at the Indian camp, the captives
were knocked senssless with clubs, repeat
eddy ravished by the fends, and were
treated in this msnner four or Eve times
every day. On hearing Of their condition,
the commanding officer ct Fort Dodge,
not having sufficient force TO rescue them,
effected their ransom, and will send them
to their friends in Texas, a. Don a. they
recover from their terrible Suferings.
While in the Indian camp, the officer sent
to arrange their ransom saw the captives
knocked down three times and violated.
The Helena, (Montana) Republican says
that Gen. Sherman's Fort Laramie dis
patch to Gen. Grant, denying the reported
Indian outrages, was false; and declares
that the Powder River road to Montana
ia infested by Indians, who are daily com.
hitting the most fearful depredations, and
are determined to close the route. For q

The Importance Of Senator Nyc's
Reelection.


The San Francisco Flag. (Which vigor-
Gus dissemiua,or Of radicalism, we are
glad to see, has not been ~suspended.) in
an article upon the late election in this
State says:
The Republicans have the Legislature
BY q very large majority, which insures
the ratification Of the constitutional
Amendment and the support Of the Con-
gressional policy Of reconstruction. The
question Of who shall be Senator is now
the most important remaining TO be de-
,ermined, and this to be decided at the
commencement in January Of the next
legislative session. Nye and belong
are the candidates, and it is supposed
tina. Nye has a majority Of the mem
bers, and will be Reelected, though De-
Long has the delegation from Storey
county. We sincerely hope that James
W. Nye, who 10 one Of the sblest and
s,aunchess Union men in the United
States Senate, will be returned to Wash
ing,on for the next six years, for the sake
not only Of Nevada, but Of the nation at
large. The idea Of displacing such a man
by the election Of Mr.. DeLong, 10 simply
absurd, and people outside Of that State
cannot regard such result q, possible.
L, would prove a calamity to Nevada BY
destroying the great influence she now en-.
joys in the National Congress, and would
also prove fatal to the Union party Of
that State. The truth or the falsity Of
the charges and counterchargsS made by
each against the other for electionsering
purposes, is Of little consequence after
election; for according to those charges,
both are very bad e Outside OF the
circle Of personal friends Of each, whore
such considerations make no impression,
the Union party looks upon the return Of
Nys to the United States Senate a. Q mat
ter Of course, because his ability and ct.
meas are universally acknowledged.
