From, Kansas city.

KANSAS CITY, August. 15.-Addition-
al reports of the Indian troubles in Kan
sas state that the Indians and settlers are
still fighting on Asher Greek and that
three more men have been killed. The
Indians are coming down Solomon
Creek in large numbers. The people on
Asher Greek and all about are cut off,
They are out of provisions and their am
unition is nearly exhausted. Later re-
ports say the Indians are numbering the
settlers on Solomon Greek. Seven men
were killed yesterday. A settler who
came in this morning with his family says
he had running fight for quite dis
tance, Governor Crawford has gone to
Solomon and Salina. and is making
preparations for arming and organizing
the settlers for defence. ~
ST. LOUIS, August IA dispatch
from Solomon City, Kansas, dated on
Saturday, says: Indians we're reported to
be within twenty-eight miles Of this place
at daylight this morning. Their strength
is variously estimated at from six to 6f,
teen hundred and they are reported to
have declared that they were going to-
clean out the. settlements on all these
streams. Women and children are COM
ing in very fast and the town is nearly
full of refugees. 1t is creditably repor-
ported that a detachment of soldiers had
an engagement with the Indians yester
day between the Solomon and Saline riy-
ers, in which the soldiers were whipped.
Nearly all the settlers north of Asher
Creek are surrounded. We know of 81
persons being killed. Excepting those
that are surrounded all the settlers for
30 miles along the Solomon River have
been driven of. Governor Crawford came
up from Topeka to- day, and is now inI
Salina organizing the militia. One squad
has gone from this place to the relief of
those up the river. Others will 90 as
soon as arms and ammunition arrive from
Topeka. A BODY of Indians are novl
moving towards Republican Valley.

Of the boasted. Reconstruction Of the
South, by the Revolutionists in Congress.
Not content with numbering one mil

order that they may retain power and
carry out their insane, despotic policy in
ten States of the Union.

In two. years and four months the
Radicals have contracted the circulating
currency Of the country s5O7, 7,724, ,847, be.
ing reduction of forty per cent.
Has this unparalleled contraction re.

value Of national securities? Has it pro-

We all know it has not. It's effect has
been to paralyze trade, suspend indus

seymour and the Bond
Question.


Question.
The editor Of che Athens Messenger is
possessed Of perverseness in regard To-
politics that would do him honor if die
tated in the opposite channel:
"Gov. Seymour has always warmly In
sisted on the obligation to pay the bonds
in gold."-Jouraal of Commerce, Sey-+
aaours Organ, ,s4. ss.s.
Comment is unnecessary. Athens
Messenger.
That is from the issue of the 18th inst.
The editor had certainly read the fol-
lowing resolutions OF the National DEM
ocratic Platform:
Third--Payment of the debt Of the United
States as rapidly as practicable; all money
drawn from the people by taxation, except SO
much as is requisite for the necessities of the
Government, economically administered, be-
ing honestly applied to such payment, and
where the obligations of the Government do
not expressly state upon their face, or the
law under which they were issued does not
provide that they shall be paid in coin, they
ought in right and in justice be paid in the
lawful money of the United States, IThun-
ders of applause.l
Fourth The equal taxation Of every spe-
cies of property according to its real value,
including government bonds and other public
securities. Renewed cheering, and cries of
"Read it again."l
Fifth nurrouou for 4tao m ont
and the people, the laborer and the ofice-hol-
der, the pensioner and the soldier. the pre-.
ducer and the bondholder. TGreat cheering,
and cries Of "Read it again"
The fifth resolution was again read and
again cheered, So
Both in his speech and letter accept
ling the nomination, Mr.. SEYMOUR used
the following emphatic language in rela-
tion to the resolutions:
Gas the presiding officer Of the Con-
vention, am familiar with their scope
and import; as one of its members, am
a party to its terms, They are in accord
with my views, and stand upon them in
the contest upon which we are now enter
ing; and I shall strive to carry them out
in the future wherever may be placed,
in political or private life. I then sta
ted l would send you these words of ao-
ceptance in letter, as is the customary
form. 81 e

The honest political editor of the Mes
senger will not give the above to his read
ers, will he?

D@ The editor of the Athens Messen-
ger asks US why the Ohio Legislature,
last winter, "did not pass law taxing U.
s. Bonds
Is the editor 50 extremely verdant as to
think the Ohio Legislature possesses
legal power to impose tax upon U. s.
Bonds2s Nobody ever advocated any such
thing; but the Democracy will tax your
bonds when they obtain the power in
Congress. Put that in your pipe.

Thus it is seen that the entire expendi-
lures Of the Government from the adop-
ton Of the Constitution to the close OF
the last war with Great Britain did not
amount to one-third of what was raised
from the people by taxation for the sin.
gle year of 1866.
The average annual expenditures of the
Government at different specified periods
for the forty years immediately preceding
the advent of the Republican party to
power, in 1861, were as follows, accord
ing to table furnished by Hon. David
A, Wells, Special Commissioner of Reve-
nue., in his last annual report. Mr.. Wells
is member Of the Republican party, ,and,
of course, does not misrepresent facts to
the damage of his own party:
Average annual expenditures of the Govern
ment for periods of ten years each.
lS21-3l (ten years) ........... $16,170,Q00
1914 (ten years. ..... -. 25,030,000
lS4l-5l (ten years. .......... 35,740,000
1s51-6l (ten year) ............ 60,6s0,00o
The third of these periods (l841 to
1851 embraces the time of the Mexican
war, and yet the average annual expendi-.
lures Of this decade, including civil list,
pensions. Indians, Navy and War Depart
ments, do pot reach $36,000,O0O In
view of these facts, will some gentleman
on the Radical side of the House tell the
country why it is that it is necessary to
raise from the people $500, ,000,0 900 year,
and that even with this enormous taxation
the public debt is now rapidly increas-
ing? These are questions, answers to
which an indignant people will demand
Of you when. you appear before them
again asking their suffrages. But these
expenditures are not, and cannot be ne
cessary. Abolish your military govern
ments in the South, by which you are
supporting the negro governments estab-
lished there. Reduce your large stand
ing army to what it ought to be in time
of peace, mere police force. Abolish
your Freedmen's Bureau, by which you
are teaching politics and laziness and
vagabondism to your negro proteges. Re-
duce your expensive navy, 60 back to the
principles of economy and honesty, and
introduce the necessary reforms in every
branch of the service, and you can in this
way save one hundred or one hundred
and fifty millions more to be applied an
nually to the payment of the principal of
these Gve-twenty bonds. The interest
will in this way, year BY year be rapidly
diminishing, aud the amount saved there /
by each year can also be applied to the
payment of the principal of those bonds,
and it requires no, mathematician to see
that in this way the entire fye-twenty
tond indebtedness may be liquidated in
five or six years, without any increase of
either taxes or the currency.

Destruction OF the BOndh01ders

~
The bondholders came down like the wolf on
the fold,
With their oalpst-bags, niggers, fve-twenties
and gold;
And the bankers, and shoddyites, thieves and
the brokers,
Hallooed for the eHrEr Of the drinkers aud
smokers.
Like the wheat ON the plains Of: the far sun-
set land,
That host were in summer-a motley band;
Like that wheat when the reaper hath laid 1t
all low,
That host In November, all melted like snow.
For the people rose up in their strength and
their might,
And swore loud and long that the best race
is white; ~
That this land should be ruled by whites and
none others,
That niggsrs were niggers, and not amen and
brothers,
Then the eyes of the nabobs waved deadly
and chill,
Each cut off his coupons, and bottle did fiji;
And drank q deep draught and then gave up
the ghost,
Yawning out with his last breath, aalasl all
is lost. ~ 81
And there lay the ahorse talker" dead as a
nail,
And all those who breathsd yet setup a loud
wall; e8a
And the niggers by the Ku.Klux were surely
gone, through,
Andthe carpet, ,baggers all northward quick
few.
OF all those vast legions of all that dark host
Who SO yauntlngly swore, and SO loudly did
boast,
Not one now remained to pollute the pure air
And our rulers for four years are SEYMoUH
iis and BLAIR. 80 On.

National Bank candidate for Congress, in
this wise:
"Liar.. .demagogue......f fitting style

And then he closes with this: s
"Mr. Spirit, if you'll try it, you'll find
a man can be a gentleman and still differ
from his neighbor in politics" !"

When any person has published to the

oath of any such person as prima facie eyi
