THE STATE.

The Lewiston journal says Rev. DR.. Che
ney preached an able discourse in that city on
Sunday, in which he illustrated the progress
in the Divine and Human that comes of
suffering, and referred pungently to the pres
ent national crisis, maintaining that the mis-
fortune of wicked President was punish
ment due the nation for its denial of justice to
the colored race. A man who is good enough
to fight for US, is good enough to vote for u.s.
He maintained that the present unrest of the
nation would continue, so long as prejudice
and caste ruled in the national councils5 SO

The Late Riot i'm New Orleans.

~, NEW 1Ohh, OCb.
The Tribune has a special tonight from New
Orleans containing the reports Of the military
commission to investigate the riots in that city.
The report Is signed by Gems. Mower, Quincy,
Greggor and Baldi It gives a full synopsis Of
the evidence concerning the dispatches Of Gen.
Sheridan. The commission gives as its opinion
that lt was preconcerted plan among rebel
associations for the purpose OF, attacking the
convention if there was any plausible pretext.
But for the declaration of martial law and the
presence OF troops fire and blood shed would
have relgned throughout the night in all negro
quarters OF the city, and the lives of Unionists
and Northern men would have been at the
mercy OF the mob. Three-fourths of the mob
were rebel soldiers. The Board review the
condnct OF Mayor Monroe, and believe his ac-
ton preconcerted, from the consequences that
ensued nom his own act. The party in power
in New Orleans, with Mayor Monroe, the COM
own way without punishment for past offences.
win soon render New Orleans place of inse-
curry for Northern lives and property. =.

Lecture of MIR. sumner before the Parker
t....sf Fraternity 50

a. Boston, Oct. 2.
Charles Sumner delivered the opening lee
ture of the course before the Parker Fraternity
this evening, in Music Hall, to large and in
telligent audience. His subject was "The
Presidential ulicy, or the One Mans Power
and Congress-" The address was long, evident
ly prepared with much care, and gives an elab-
crate review of the political situation, severely
criticising the course of President johnson and
his councillors. In. closing Mr. Sumner sums
up the case as follows si4
The President, welding the one man pow
er, has assumed prerogative over Congress
utterly unjustifiable and has undertaken to
dictate fatal policy of reconstruction,
which gives sway to rebels puts off the blessed
day of security and reconciliation, and leaves
the best interests of the Republic in jeopardy
Treacherous to party, treacherous to the great
cause, and treacherous to himself, he has set
up his individual will against the people of the
United Statesin Congress assembled. Forget
full of truth and deceney.. he has assailed mem
bers as 'assassins,' and has denounced Con-
gress itself as revolutionary body called or
assuming to be Congress- and hanging on the
verge of government as if this most enlight-
ened and patriotic Congress did not contain the
embodied rule of the American people. To
you, each and all, ] appeal to arrest this mad
ness. Your votes will be the first step. The
President must be taught that usurpation and
apostacy cannot prevail. He who promised to
be Moses and has become Pharaoh, must be
overthrown, and the Egyptians that follow him
must share the same fate, so that it shall be
said now, as aforetime, and the Lord over
threw the Egyptians in the midst of the sea-"

says that all preparations on the main land and
the soundings in Behring's Straits for the COM
pletion Of the line of telegraph between Rus

be constructed over distance of $500 miles

from Granley Haven to the Kwichpak, and
along the valley Of this river, from the mouth
to Gischiga and perhaps even as far as to be
joined with the Anadyr line. The cable be-
tween Granley Haven and Ssenjawin Bay, q
distance of about 700 miles, and that between
Cape Sponberg and Cape Tolstoi in the Bay of
Anadyr will be laid ,as it is said before the end
OF this month. American and Russian energy

: THE INDIAN TROUBLES IN ARIzoNA.-A dis
patch from Washington to the Boston Adyer-,
tiser gives the following particulars in regard
to the latest hostile outbreak among the In
dians:
On the 18th of August party of Hualpias
and Apaches attacked train of six wagons
escorted by five citizens and four soldiers. at
Skull Valley, on the road between La Paz and
Prescott, and about thirty miles from the lat
ter place. The train having at the time Of the
attack proceeded but short distance from the
Skull Valley post, held by Lieutenant Hutton
and company of Arizona volunteers, it was
reinforced, and the whites getting by a man
@uvre between the Indians and their bows and
arrows which they had piled up to divert sus-
picion, keeping their knives secreted ON their
persons, used their knives with. such terrible
effect that thirty three Indians were left dead
upon the battle-ground and in its neighbor-
hood, while one soldier accidently killed and
another wounded by the Indians constituted
the total casualties of the whites. Numerous
disturbances are likely to follow this affair, as
the Apaches are much embittered, particular
ly toward the native soldiers whom they ac-
cuse of stealing their children, and many 9th
er acts of inhumanity. Much anxiety exists
among the population of Western Arizona
owing 10 the exposed condition of many of
the miners and settlers, and the utter INSULT
cheney in point Of numbers of the military to
protect them. iait q" ~ fs- 1iAi = p

WHAT IT CosT.-There is funny story afioat
about the Presidents tour. As it was an cleo
toneering expedition, it was to be paid for out
OF the funds of the National Committee of the
party. A despatch says that at a meeting of
COMMITTEES night bofore last, Cornelius Wen
dell stated the condition of the Clubs finan-
ces, and said an assessment should be made of
5000 each on two Cabinet officers and S26OOO on
another. This means that Messrs. Seward
Randall and Wells will, after all, have to nav
their own excursion bills" "It Is known that
the treasury ofthe club was bankrupt before
the party left Philadelphia, and the drafts giy-
en- for bills contracted there could not he Maid
on presentation. One member of the Cahfnet
alone ran up bill at the Continental of s7OO'S
