from the editorial chair of the Memphis Av-

form where a negro sits swelling in the bloom

speech to be reported in the Avalanche, and

another color. When a negro speaker is

white men and white women political truths,

She Greatest Indian Fighter of the Age

Hermann Schoeneman, brother to Fred
Schoeneman, proprietor of the well-know
gunsmith establishment in this city, returned
day before yesterday from a prospecting
expedition to the mines of Cerro Gordo dis
tnct AMI Arizona. lie has been absent
thirteen months-most of which time he has
spent IN Cerro Gordo- and has seen some
rough times. His last exploit was an expedi-
ton with party of but Is men to Arizona
and into the Apache country. Although the
Indians hoy cred ;bout them continually. and
either attacked them or made some sort of
demonstrations against them almost daily,
the party succeeded in penetrating far into
their country, and discovered a region in
which they found placer mines which they
believe to be as rich as were those of Califor-
MIA in early times. In one place Mr.. Schoene-
man obtained three bits in washed gold in
coarse grains from d single pan of dirt, car
rying the dirt fifteen miles to wash it. The
dirt was not scraped from the crevces Of a
ravine, but was taken from hill of gravel.
Water could be got upon these gold fields,
and immense fortunes taken out of the dig
gings, but for the relentless hostility Of the
Apaches. No small party can stay in the
country. During the time they were in the
country, Mr.. Schoeneman and party killed
thirty-five Indians, Mr.. Schoeneman--the
only man who had Henry rihc-killing
twenty five himself Most of the party were
armed with shotguns and revol, ers, a few
having common rifles. On several occasions
the Indians attacked them in open ground
and gave them fair stand up fight. Sever.
al times the Indians imagined that the party
had fired all their shots-being deceived in
their count by the rapdity with which the
Henry rifle was discharged-and made
charges on the little band but were always
thrown into confusion and repulsed by the
unex pected volley which met them from the
revolvcrs and shotguns. Mr.. Schoeneman
is one of the best rifle shots in the country,
and although new hand at Indian fighting,
hardly ever missed his man. The range
of the Henry rifle greatly puzzled the In
dians, who found their men picked off when
they supposed themselves at safe distance,
and altogether thought the party '' bad
lot" An Apache. whom they took prisoner
and brought back to Cerro Gordo, expressed
the opinion of his companions when he said,
in speaking of one of their fights ugh, no
good. You whitee man load he gun all nj ght
shoot all day ~ A hundred such Indian
fighters as Mr.. Hermann Schoeneman would
make it very hot for the whole Apache tribe
should they turn themselves loose among
them with Henry rifles. Z

NEGRO SUFFRAGE The Republican party,
as an organization, is not committed either
for or against negro suffrage. individuals
are at perfect liberty to entertain their own
views on this matter, without any impeach-
ment of their character as good Union men
and Republicans. In several of the Northern
States Republicans have voted against allow
ing negroes to vote, and defeated the meas
ure. The extent to which the party is
pledged on this subject is this That in the
present condition of the late rebel States this
measure is matter of necessity to prevent
worse evils coming upon them The proprie-
ty OF negro suffrage, as general rule, or the
general fitness of the blacks at present to
exercise the elective franchise, is not touched
at ALL Each one is free to think as he
chooses on these subjects. The Republicans.
as party, do not advocate the immediate and
indiscriminate voting of colored men. without
regard to education or fitness of any kind on
their part, whatever may be the case with
individual members of the party. Democrats
cannot make such charge without departing
from the truth

water through muslin you soil it continue the

A Howl ABOUT NorHING-The Demo
Gratis have raised a great howl about the bill
which passed the last Congress allowing a
certain number of Government arms to be
placed at the disposal Of the Governors of
certain States. These vigilant individuals
ferceiy declare that the object Of the bill was
to arm the negroes of the South against the
whites of that section, and in case of insur-
used against their rebel friends. 1t has been
usual heretofore for the Government to sup
ply the militia Of the States with arms, and
nothing was said Of the matter but Demo
Gratis are bound to try to make capital out of
every step taken by the Government since it
passed from their hands. The object of the
bill alluded to was simply this In certain
Northern States the supply of arms for the
militia was deficient, and the reorganized
Southern States were entirely without arms,
(the rebels having stolen them at the out,
break Of the war;, and under these circum
stances Congress passed the act granting such
States the use Of Government arms in case
they were needed to suppress instructions
or repcl foreign invasions. The bill includes
California, Connecticut, and several other
States presided over by Democratic Cover
nors, which fact serves to give the lie to the
assertion that the arms were distributed
among the Abolition Governors for the pur-
pose of overawing or intimidating Democrats.
Whenever a Democrat commences harping on
this militia bill, let some Union man silence
him by citing him to the facts in the case.

NICKERsoN.- Democratic managers of
San Francisco got up a meeting at Platt's
Hall on the 24th, in order to afford b. +.
Nickerson, the Fay stoolpigeon, an opportu-
nifty to make his expose" of the manage
ment of the Union party-an organization,
by the way, of which he knows nothing, as
be would not be tolerated in its ranks. The
affair turned out to be a miserable humbug
and farce, and the Democrats were greatly
disgusted with it, while Union men enjoyed
it hugely. Nickerson declared that the Fay
movement last year was gotten up for the
purpose Of securing Haight's election, He
then pitched into Gorham. Cole, Conriess
Tom Fitch, Major Stratman and Others and
scolded and raved worse than a drunken fish
woman. Jack Stratman was his especial
abhorreuce. He had hurt his feelings at the
Chicago Convention by asking the privilege
of settling his (Nickerson's) claims to a seat
delegate from California. Nlckerson said
that when the Major was asked how he would
dispose of the case he replied "Gouge his
ID eyes out. lie also complained that
Stratman had treated him with great disre-
spect in front of the Sherman House, Chica
go, by remarking to those around him, as he
(Nickcrsonl passed along "Look out for
your pocket books, gentlemen there is a
pickpocket around. Nickerson then related
an obscene story about a negro baby, which
had the effect of emptying the gallery of all
the ladies present. after which he retired
from the rostrum amid derisive cheers cat
calls and laughter. Poor Nickerson he is
etfectually played out, and the only way in
which he can ever get up another "sensa
ton" will be to organize travelling show
and exhibit himself in the interior as the ug-
liest man and most cOnsummate fool on the

FILLING UP..-A former resident of tbi,
county writes to US that San Diego county i:
filling up with settlers very rapidly. The
tpwn of New San Diego, which has been
mostly built up within the past year, is now
as large as Copper City was in its mast flour
ishins day. S. S. Dunnels is doing a good
business in the hotel line, having about thirty
regular boarders, besides considerable tran
sient patronage. Owing to the size and safety
of San Diego harbor, it is confidently expected
that it will become the entrepot for all the
goods and supplies for the Colorado country,
at an early day. The Grant and Colfax boys
are well organized, and think they will carry

4 GOVERNOR BIGLER SToRY.-The New
York correspondent of the Bulletin relates
the following:
An amusing story is told of little scene
that occurred in one of the parlors of the
Metropolitan Hotel Just after the meeting of
the Fourth of July Convention, and in which
Ex-Governor Bigler of California was an ac-
tor. There were present on this occasion
some fifteen or twenty Democrats, embracing
men of the olden as well as men of the mod
ern time stripe. Very naturally politics was
the subject of discussion, and the present stat
US of the Democratic party the point of mos
prominence. From the general question the
discussion was narrowed down to one of per
sonal "reminiscences, in which the interlo-
cutors related their individual 4" experience"
in the Democratic Church. After several
gentlemen had spoken it fell to Gov. Bgler's
turn, when he began by remarking that he
believed he could present clearer record of
Democracy than any one present He was,
he said, in substance, born and bred in the
true faith. and he had its whole catechism by
heart his first Presidential vote was thrown
f,r the Democratic nominees, as his last
should be; and throughout the whole of his
long political career, he had never thrown
any other than the regular Democratic ticket,
whether in State or National elections

TERRIBLE AccIDENr.-From the Alta

TERRIBLE AcCIDENr.-From the Alta of
the 2Sth we clip the following:
At five o'clock last evening distressing
casualty occurred at San Mateo. An Irish
man, named James Duffy, Il butcher, residing
at San MateO, was struck by the cow-catcher
of the incoming San Jose train, thrown under
the locomotive and cars, and instantly killed,
the wheels severing an arm and leg, and also
crushing his head in shocking manner.
Both the San Francisco and San Jose trains
met at San Mateo, and Duffy, either being
unaware or having forgotten this fact, was
standing on the track. intent in watching the
approach of the San Francisco cars, and as
they advanced stepped over to the other track
to avoid them, just as the San Jose train
from the opposite direction came laundering
along on the same track, and before he could
escape he was caught and run over as above
related. 1t seems that sister of deceased,
with her little child, had been to visit him
from this city, and it was to place them on
the cars that caused his presence there. The
sister was standing on the platform and wit
messed the terrible occurrence. Her shrieks
were heart-rending as the lifeless, mangled
form of the victim was dragged from under
the wheels of the cars.

General Butler and the :. Spoons"

General Butler has called down upon his
head an enormous load of rebel lies, probably
because of three facts in his career which,
unlike the nsnuations relative to spoons"
aud Stealing" can be easily substantiate =.
|. He hanged a rebel. As steadfast OPP
ponents Of capital punishment we disapprove
this portion of his career.
.. He compelled the q ladies" of New
Orleans to treat our soldiers with respect
AS champions of gallantry and politeness be-
tween the sexes we see no objection to this.
3. lie collected from the rebels, while in
New Orleans, by systematic assessments, the
money with which he supported, fed, clothed,
and paid his army and the navy attached to
his force, and with which he paid the expen-
of the city Government of New Orleans,
including his measures for cleansing and dis
injecting that city-making it healthier than
it ever was beforehand providing for it a
most efficient police and after dsbursting
all these expenses he paid over to the Trea-
sury of the United States a net surplus of over
eleven millions of dollars. Secretary Chase
remarked that if all our Generals were like
Butler, he could not only carry on the war
without greenbacks, but without gold. There
were Generals who gave no trouble to the
enemy and great deal of trouble to the
Secretary of the Treasury. Their war was
on the Treasury and the pockets of loyal men,
not on rebels. Butler, however, gave no
trouble to the..Secretary of the Treasury, and
made the rebels walk in that straight, chaste
and elegant manner for which the Spanish
widely celebrated. This sufices to
account for the popularity among rebels and
Copperheads of those Generals who nearly
bankrupted our Treasury, and unpopularty
of General Butler among the same classes. =

- DEMoCRATIc.-The Sacramento Reporter
oneof the most unscrupulous partisan sheets
in the State, last week contained an article
from the pen Of one Captain w. F. Russell,
entitled "a candid consideration of the
merits of General Grant for the Presidency ,,
The following extract will illustrate the
spirit of the production, and is sufficient to
damn its author in the estimation of all de-
cent men:
There is nothing about him Grant of an
intellectual or refined nature. lie has low
tastes, strong passions, and depraved appe-
tites. He possesses all the elements of a
despot. He is an inveterate tippler, and on
this coast he has been the creator Of prosti-
tutes and the deserter of unsupported chill
dren.
Such is Democratic argument" and such
is Democratic truth" OuS upon party

as to be compelled to use such vile and lying
statements against a political opponent.
