dispatch from Leayenworth, Kansas, to the
Associated Press, yesterday, denied the truth of
special telegram to THE TRIBUNE, accusing
the Indians of numbering the whites. That
telegram was specific in its statements, declaring that
$50 whites had been killed by the Indians, and that
the road from Laramie TO Powder River was filled
with graves Of murdered men. The denial of it is
merely general and report is merely said to be
gross exaggeration. Hitherto we have found our
Leavenworth correspondent trustworthy, and are not
so sure that these stories Of Indian massacres
founded and that Indian affairs are not oupably mis-
managed. Our dispatches, published, also stated
that the troops Of Col Darlington complained Of bis
cowardice, and that Col. Maynadier Of Laramie, Is
said TO have issued orders that the first white who
killed an Indian should be taken and given to Indians
to be dealt with. There is great complaint against
Maynadier and his officers for keeping and feeding
Indian women at the Forts" As written, they were
far stronger in their language. If these accusations
are false. shall gladly publish the fact but the
vague manner in which they denied is in itself
suspicious. The Government should look into the
matter for if half Of what correspondent states be
true the army is disgaced by its representatives on
the Indian frontier.

NOR STANDS NEW. YORK;

We are 80 often asked in obvious earnest, If New
York is sure to go right in her approaching election
that we arc impeled to answer the question gener'
ally, and By simple exhibition of facts.
In 1864, our State was carried by small majorities
-6,749 for Lincoln over Mcclellan, and 1898 for
Fenton over Seymour, in total of 73O,s2l votes
We have always believed that these maorities were
reduced by foul voting and fraudulent changes OF
soldiers baots-that our fair majority at that cleo
ton was about 10000.
Last year, our adversares confidently expected to
carry the State. Their State Ticket was in good part
made up Of men who had been prominent Repub'
licans; Montgomery Blair stumped our State IN its
behalf, armn-arm with John Van Buren,, whispering
in the ears of the select few that Andy johnson was
"all right" and would give them " the spos II
they would carry the State; Lieut.. Gov. Campbell,
Judge EdmOnds, and lots Of smaller fry turned
against u.s. and superficial observer must have sup
posed that we were doomed to deieat yet we carried
the State by 27,S57 majority: the several Coun-
ties giving majorties as follows:

Though Mr. johnson has directly encouraged this
kind of talk. by describing Congress as "a body
hanging on the verge Of the Government" and
yetong its acts on the pretense of their unconsti'
utonality, there is little danger that he will attempt
to carry out his policy to its logical extreme That
he would gladly do as the Rebels wish, we can
believe; but he is wise enough to ''let dare not

We learn from Washington that Santa Anna was
the day before yesterday in consultation with Secre
tsry Seward and yesterday with Secretary Wees. 1t
is rumored that he is well satisfied with the result of
his interviews Several Americans who have pur-

willing to cooperate with Santa Anna if the validity
of their bonds is recognized. One of them, Mr..

CoESBcrIcUr held Town Elections yesterday il

CONNECTICUT held Town Elections yesterday in
many of her towns, and the aggregate result shows
overwhelming gains to the Republican, nonists.
They have carried almost every town where they
seriously tried, including quite a number that were
against them last Spring. Among these are Seymour
which never before went Republican, as well as Dan
bury, which we lost at the State Election. There is
scarcely a township which does not show decided
Republican gain in the popular vote. SO it is where
ever people who can read are enabled pass udg-
ment on My Policy"

The aggregate of Democratic majorities in all the
Counties outside Of this City was bu ,33i-an aggre-
gate which 81. Lawrence alone will oyerbear next
MONTH And is our confident conviction that neither
these nor the City majorties can now be increased.
In other words we believe that all the County major
tiles for Hoffman will not exceed 1900, while we are
equally sure that the Counties which 60 for Fenton
will roll up an aggregate majority Of at least 200.
If the October Elections should sorely disappoint
us, Gov. Fenton's majority will be lessi if they go
overwhelmingly for US, it will be greater. Should it
seem that the bottom had fallen out Of the johnson
coalition, that majority may exceed 10000
The bright prospect thus afforded will by no means
induce our friends TO relax their exertions. They
will work the harder because they feel and know that
they not spending their strength for naught And
is most desirable on every account that the loyal
States should so speak that there be no dispute
or cavil their decision. Let it be clearly shown
that they demand the adoption Of the Constitutional
Amendment, and il will be promptly ratified, the
South represented in Congress by loyal Representa-
tiyes and this long distracted land once more enjoy
the blessings Of peace and rest.
