FORT WALLACE, Kansas, Sept. H--Chef scout
Horn has just returned from Colonel Forsyth's
camp, on the Delaware Fork OF the Republican
river. He reports that Colonel Carpenter, who
started from near Cheyenne Well on the morning
of the oath, reached Colonel Forsyth on the next
morning. He no Indians on the way otherthan
the bodies OF eight nine warriors evidently killed
in the fight nearly twenty miles away. He saw six
or eight scafolds, and on each there we're one or
more bodies. ..
The command which left here on the oath under
Col. Bankhead, with provisions, supplies, &c,
tackled on the way by party of Indians, who
watched their stock, but did not get any of it..
Col. Forsyth lost five killed and twelve wounded
and all his horses. The Indian loss about
eighty killed and wounded, besides large quantity
of stock.
The fight the first day is described as being the
most desperate that has ever taken place on the
Plains, the Indians making charge after charge,
sometimes coming within fifty feet of the men, The
island on which they were having only a few bushes
and there being but n small amount of grass, the
men lay almost entirely exposed, their only
were thrown up with no tools but their hands,
working between the attacks of the Indians, who
rode around, charging down upon them at the same
point, one part of the men digging, while the rest
fought the savages, who were Sioux Cheyennes
and Arrapahoes numbering 600 to 700, well armed
mated that thoy fired 10000 rounds, besides large
quantity of arrows, the ground all around being
| thickly strewn with the latter
The scouts trails of large parties driving
many horses and mules, going south and east. II

or five days. His wounds are doing well, and he il
| said to be in no danger.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 27.-The wrath of the ne
groes at Governor Warmouths veto of the Civil
Rights bill is unbounded, and many threats against
his person reported. Mr.. Isabelle, the colored
author of the bill, and the man who was temporary
Chairman of the House before it was regularly Or
orders from either General Buchanan or General
Grant in the matter of the admission of re-
presentatives, and said if Yarmouth had been
elected on the Democratic ticket he should not be
surprised at the veto message, but surprised
that such document should come from man
elected the radical Republican ticket. He
thought the message was very weak document,
and carried out certain principles of the Chicago
platform which he did not approve
Senator Bacon's Supplementary Registration bill
provides for the adoption of the registration of
voters under military commanders until registra-
tion under the State laws can be completed.
The Governors veto will probably kill this Civil
Rights bill in the House, if it passes the Senate.
The beauties of registration under the rules pre-
scrbed by the present State Board of Registration
are becoming apparent. Judge Alexander Walker,
of the New Orleans Times, who was q member of the
Secession Convention and voted for and signed the
ordinance of secession, spoke in advocacy of the
same, and has not recanted, provided for by the
State constitution, but who aided reconstruction
according to his own ideas of what constituted aid
ing reconstruction, registered without question,
while Judge VIM, III. Cooley, of the Sixth District
Court of this State, who was not disfranchised un
der any law of the State or United States, was
fused registration on technical grounds. Judge
Cooley has sued out a mandamus, returnable in
the Fifth District Court on Monday. Other cases
are reported of discharged United States soldiers,
presenting both their discharges and naturalization
papers, being refused, because the latter issued
by the Fifth and Sixth District Courts, which the
State Board of Registration say illegal.

al or many towns aud cities have an interest
- ,"u voice, let all the caucuses be called on

'e''neu as above indicated, plurality to de-

Some such plan as the foregoing for the MR.
poses indicated should be adopted. The
masses of any party should insist upon IL.
They would then have the same power over
the selection OF a candidate that they now have
over his election. Is there any good reason
why they should not possess this check upon
the nomination of bad or incompetent men for
public office, or the power of always insuring
the selection Of the best men? The method
suggested by which to arrive at nominations
in such government as ours, is simple, sure
OF good results, inexpensive, does away with
the unwieldy convention, and best of all calls
for no delegation OF power by the individual to
another to do for him what he can better do
for himself, in more satisfactory way, with
better results. 1t will be popular, for it is
placing power where it should be, in the hands
of the people. x.
