Are the Democrats responsible for

| ing ignorant Negroes the right to vote
and hold office?
Are the Democrats the cause of White
men being disfranchised in Louisiana?
You may well ask: "What are we
coming to ?"-under the rule of Radi-
calls and Negroes. But you will please
bear in mind that your Negroes, black,
saddle colored and light, have all, in the
South, been enfranchised by Radical
Congress.
HMr. McCulloch's estimate for
1S69-70 foot up to an aggregate ofthree
hundred and three millions. We ask
the closest attention to the items as print
ed elsewhere. Must the army cost US
fifty two millions, the navy twenty one
millions, armories four and q half mill
ions, internal improvements eight and a
half millions, and Indians three millions,
in these pinching times ?-Nev York
Ti&bane.
Yes. And the estimates have, with.
out exception, every year under Radical
rule, been at least one third less than
the actual expenditures. "These pinch
ing times have been brought upon the
taxpayers by the ''rule or ruin" policy
of the party in power, and which the
Tribune is always ready to frame excuses
for in opposition to all policies looking
towards restoration of the Union and
the return to the people of prosperous
times: The people are just beginning
to feel the weight that is to- crush them
to poverty. One or two years more,
and WeAwill see the lands of our most
prosperousfarmers sold to pay the taxes.
Such is Radical retrenchment and reform.
HThe following is suggested to
Grant as worthy of his consideration in
Cabinet making:
Secretary of State-E. B. Washburne,
Illinois,
Secretary of War-W. D. Washburne,
Minnesota.
Secretary of Treasury-C. C. Wash
burne, Wisconsin.
Secretary Of Navy-W.B. Washburne,

/ Secretary of Interior-C. A. Wash

Attorney General-H. D. Washburne,

The rest of the family can be disposed
of as vacancies occur.

WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, August 1s.-A rumor
was circulated yesterday that cable
dispatches had been received by one or
both OF the diplomatic representatives
of France and Prussia, stating that the
relations between these two powers
were about to be disturbed by war.
The French Legation here regards this
rumor as absurd and not worthy Of
serious consideration; nor had the
Prussian Minister received any infor-
nation to that effect. There is nothing
whatever in the relations in the two
countries as far as known here to just
ity such a conclusion, and there Is au-
thority for saying that no agents for
the French Government, as published,
has been actively engaged in different
parts of this country in purchasing
horses and forage for shipment to
France.

Indian OutraRes.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1s.-A letter dated
Ellsworth, Kansas, Aug. 14Lh, says, on
Monday the 18th, band of some two
hundred Indians appeared on SPELL
mans Creek, about sixteen miles
northeast of Ellsworth. Arriving at
the house of Mr.. Shaw they caught and
beat him numerically and drove him
away. The devils then caught Mrs.
Shaw and her sister and violated their
persons. Some thirty or more of them
continued to abuse these helpless wo-
men until long after they had become
senseless, and then destroyed the
property and left them for dead. They
then proceeded to the residence of Mr..
Smith, beat him in the same manner
and violated the person of his wife,
leaving her in very critical condition.
II is feared thai the women subjected to
these outrages will not recover. They
met and abused several other citizens
by beating, and after destroying all
within their reach, left for the north.
These poor women say that for five or
six hours they were subject to i'll treat
ment, and they show marks of the most
cruel usage made by being beaten, in
the attempt to defend themselves. A
detachment of soldiers was sent after
the Indians from Fort Harker, accom-
panied by fifty or sixty settlers. On
Wednesday night they sent for REIN
forcements, and on Thursday a full
company under command Of Col. Rau-
tine went over. The latest report was
that Routine has come on the Indians,
who had some ten or fifteen women
surrounded in Il house, and that he had
driven the Red Shoes away, but wheth-
er he killed any of them or not, was not
known. These are probably the same
Indians who have been numbering and
committing other outrages on Solomon
Creek,
