DEMOCRATIC CoSvESrIoN.-This body met at
the Court house on Wednesday. J. c. Burch,
Mr. Cummings and J. c. Montague were chosen
delegates to the State Convention. Lewiston
was designated as the place for holding the SEN
atoriaI Convention, and ". D. Sutherliu, A. G.
Crow and ". S. Lowden appointed delegates. A
series of resolutions were introduced by Mr..
Burcb, of the Committee on Resolutions, which,
having been elucidated to the assemblage, were
unanimously passed. The resolutions contain
the usual TRADE against the party in power, con-
demning its acts and measures, but giving none
but a negative clue as to what means would be
taken, were they in authority, to restore and
they oppose every act and measure of the Ma
tional Congress as outrageous and unjust, they
offer no means By which the problem of recon-
struction is to be solved, or the machinery of
Government kept in successful motion, except to
recommend the restoration Of Democracy to
power, as the sovereign panacea for all national
ills. Properly speaking, it is platform not so
remarkable for the principles set forth as the en-
tire want OF principle, opposing everything urged
by our side, but substituting nothing Of their
own. County Committee was appointed dur.
ing which some spicy remarks were dropped
that must have been truly refreshing to the
/" bread-and-butter element in attendance.
None but straight-out Democrats who never
split ticket were to be allowed on the Commit.
tee, unless they got there by mistake. He who
come in at the eleventh hour gets no penny in
the Democratic vineyard. A resolution was
passed directing the Secretary to furnish a copy
of proceedings for publication, but they have mol
been handed in.

INDIANS AGAIS.-From E. D. Kellogg Esq, of
Hay Fork, we learn that party of wild Indians
passed around that settlement the latter part of
last week. camping on Saturday night in the
guch near Burke's residence at the old milk
ranch on Summit Creek. The band were seen
by some of the valley Indians Barker's, is
probably twenty in number, and usual their
course has been marked by their depredation..
On Salt Creek they skst q steer belonging to
the Drinkwater brothers-the animal ran to the
corral after being shot before it died. Crossing
over the divide to the 4" canyon, they next
robbed the cabin of Thomas Burns and wound
up by shootinga horse Of Ewing's. party of
fifteen men, took their trail at Burns cabin and
without doubt they will be overtaken and punish
cd. We can only repeat that we have always said
that the plan of transferring hostile Indians to
reservations situated near their former homes
has proved, and will always prove total failure
Nearly all the Indians taken from this county
two years ago, at heavy expense to the govern
meut are back again. This does not matter as
they are peaceably disposed, willing to work for
their living and should never have been removed
at all unless they could be well cared for. Any
attempt to keep hostile Indians a reservation
but day or twos journey from the scene OF
their former hostilities, where they can slip out
and do their mischief with no expectation OF
greater punishment than to be taken back to the
reservation if caught, would be ridiculous if it
were not for the evil the system has wrought.
The only secure plan to use with such prowling
bands when caught, is 10 kill the males OF the
party and send the so raws back with such tdings
as will prevent any more from leaving on SIM
liar expeditions.

import our beggars chiefly. By some wonderful

into civil life, and can no more be distinguished
from the children of peace. 1t is hard even for
an American to understand this. But it is A

ours, and little given to dreaming. Ii appreci-
ates the fact that the moment that one thing is
