The Lansing State Republican of the
Gath gives the following result, judging
by the last returns received, of the cleo
ton In Michigan: The next week after
the election we stated that the Republi-
can state ticket had received 1900 ma
jority. But the Republicans have done
better than that. The official majority,
80 far, Is 81 ,S74 on Justice of the Supreme
Court, aud the net Republican majorities
on delegates to the State Convention are
2i, ,9Si. There are still eight COMMITTEES to
hear from, which will increase the ma
jorities at least ! 800 giving, In the whole
State, over % 600 Republican majority
This, upon the light voto east, is full o.
large o majority as was given the Repub
liean ticket last November. Who say
there has been any reaction in Michigan

TnH news from the Indian country

A man and his two daughters, agcd re-
spectively fifteen and eighteen years
were captured by party Of Indians, led
by Black Hawk, blood-thirsty fiend
The old mans brains were beaten out
with clubs, but the fate Of his daughter,
was still worse. After violating theil
persons, the Indians put them to d eatf
with extreme torture, by thrustinl

bodies were soon afterward discovered.
A correspondent with Gen. Hancock

dated at deserted Cheyenne camp
thirty miles from Fort Laramie, Apri
18th:
Dispatches were eceivcd last night n
Headquarters from Gen. Custar, stating
that the Indians burned three station
on Smoky Hill route, and killed thrc'
men. and scalped and burned them.
Orders have been sent to each post ol
the Santa Fe and Smoky Hill routes
warning all to be on the alert and inform
ing them that the Indians had broker
out at last, and intended to be true Il
the threats they issued during the win
ter. This raid is attributed to the Sioux
who are encamped with the Cheyenne
in this village.
General Custar has divided his com

The Hoiotofbs
The Democracy, being the peculiar
friends Of the soldier, have manifested
great atindignatiOn against the Republican
disfranchises deserters. They love SOL
diers much that they are not willing that
even deserter shall be treated with in
dignity.
Now, 1t Is pretty we'll understood
among the soldier boys that these men,
who called them "Lincoln hirslings,"
"Hesslans," "thieves," )" "loyal hen-roost
robbers" i'murderers," "felons, guilty
of rape, arson and wholesale robbery"
and other pet names during the war |;
and who refused to vote "a man or dol
lar" for their support In the bitter strug-
gle through which they passed and who
uniformly refused to recognize the right
Of the soldier to vote and who, even
now, deny the right of coercion, and at
1empt 10 dishon0r the great struggle for
the life of the Nation, rs "fratricidal
war" and "crusade against liberty'-
1t Is pretty well understood, we say, that
the party guilty Of all this outrage upon
tho dearest rights and the most sacred
feelings of the soldier, comes forward
now too late with profters Of regard And
friendship. t.Is.4

About half a mile from superior
Station the South Chaplain and Med
way line crossed a bridge over Sloper-
ton on-rrent As the shades of even
ing were closing, man in slonched
hat might have been seen carrying a
saw and axe under his arm, hanging
about the bridge From time to time
he disappeared in the shadow of its
abutments, but the sound of saw and
axe still betrayed his vicinity. At
exactly nine o'clock he reappeared,
and crossing to the superior side,
rested his shoulder against the abut-
ment and gave shove. The bridge
swayed moment and then fell with II
splash into the water, leaving space
OF one hundred feet between the two
banks This done, Burke the Slogger
- for it was he with fiendish chuck
le seated himself on the divided rail
way track and awaited the coming of
the train.
A shrek from the woods announced
its approach. For an instant Burke
the Slogger saw the glaring of red
lamp. The ground trembled The
train was going with fearful rapidity.
Another second, and it had reached
the bank. Burke the Slogger uttered
a indish laugh. But the next moment
the train leaped across the chasm,
striking the rails exactly even, and,
dashing out the life of Burke the Slog-
ger, sped away to superior.
The first object that greeted Edgar
do as he rode up to the station on the
arrival of the train, was the body OF
Burke the Slogger hanging off the
cow-catcher; the second was the face
of his deserted wife looking from tho
window Of a second class carriage.
