An Extraordinary Proposition.

The important announcement comes
from Washington that the Radical mana
gers there have, within the past few days,
been discussing not only the necessity Of
September session Of Congress, but also
Of passing an enactment forbidding the
Presidential election to be held at all in
any of the so-called reconstructed States.
The reason assigned for this extraor-
binary step is that the States in question
will undoubtedly vote for Seymour and
Blair, if the election is held, notwith-
standing all the active power of the
Freedmen's Bureau, the disfranchise-
ment Of three hundred thousand white
men, the free ballot to all the negroes, of
all ages and sizes, and the active infu-
ence Of the military officers and carpet
baggers. The confession is bad one
for the Radical party. The very negroes
are deserving and denouncing it.
II cannot be denied that if Congress
has the power to forbid Presidential
election in Georgia and Virginia, it has
the power to do the same thing in Ohio
and Connecticut. But the people will
not submit to this thing lift is attempted,
and We cannot believe it will be at
tempted. The Radicals are caught in
their OVID rap. Do what they will, they
are doomed to defeat. If the South
we're all excluded, Grant would still be
largely beaten by the North. - Hartford

about two o'clock. The engine was pre-

them on top Of each other in confused

such hight as TO prevent the passenger

IDAHO.

SAN FRAScIsco. September l0.-Late
Idaho advices state that scouting party
from Fort Baize had succeeded in cap.
turing Eagle Eye and his entire band Of
Indians, for,y-one in number, twenty one
horses and large quantity ofprovisions.
This capture ends the Indian hostilities
in that section of country.
. General Crook writes from Camp
Warner that he found many Indians in
Big Valley, on Pitt river, most of whom
fed to the mountains on his approach.
He had talk with some Of their princi-
pal men, who confessed that a party of
Fit river Indians murdered the Pear
son family 10 Long Valley. Gen. Crook
has ordered their arrest, and will hang
the murderers, which, it is thought, will
have the effect to prevent any more such
outrages. The Indian troubles are con-
sidered over. Bands Of savages are con-
tinually coming in at different stations
and snrrendering in starving condition.
They are greatly needing assistance from

On our third page will be found Pc
tition from citizens Of Shelby county 70
the Comfy missiouers, setting forth
that the present State and county tax q
more than majority Of the people are
able TO pay" The tax especially com
planned Of amounts TO one dollar and
eighty cents on the hundred dollars
Their own interests being so seriously
affected, aud having learned the incon-
venience Of one and eightisnths per
cent tax, will, we hope, bring them into
sympathy with certain others OF their
fellow.citizens, on whom is laid, not only
their owu share Of taxation, but also i've,
ten, twenty, thirty, and, In some in
stances, even one hundred per cent OF
the value Of their property in addition,
on the prsieuse of its being nuisance,
and, being so, becoming more valuableto
the owner. Justice and equity pays better
than oppression. Let all do to others as
they would have those others do TO them.
II any would resist one and eight-tenths
per cent, let them be consistent enough
to resist thirty per cent. on high valus-
tons" of property, the value OF which
has diminished, instead Of increased by
the enormous incu mbrances laid on it.
II is miserable and suicidal public pol
icy which lays burdens too heavy to be
borne without distress and depopulation.
Aud iii a most undesirable government
which can exist only by the utter impov-
enlistment of the whole people.
We shall count these petitioners here
after as opposed to compelling any Of
their cousins to pay thirty, per cent as
long as less than two is felt by them to
be so burdensome. No just man will
consent, for his own benefit, to the OPP
preston of his neighbor to the amount of
one cent.
We must do these gentlemen the JUS
lice to say that we do not believe they
would desire to escape a fair share Of the
public burdens by laying them, or any of
hem, unequally and oppressively on any
particular and selected class or classes Of
heir fellow citizens. Those who will not
lelp to pay the piper should not dance.
Those who ride in state should share
turnpike expenses with those who wear
he ways out with tons Of merchandise,

Another Terrible Revelation.

From the Boston tMass.) courier, sept. ST.
The statement of Mr.. Ould in reference
to Confederate prisoners delivered at the
mouth Of the Savannah river (Seetion Ill
of letter., recalls narrative made to us
several years ago, upon the most uDques.
tionable authority. 1t is to this effect,
that the commander of one of the large
transports employed by the Government
Of the United States proceeded, under in
structions, to Fort McAllister, to transfer
some nine hundred Confederate officers
and soldiers to Hilton Head that upon
taking them on board there were not any
two of the number whom be could not
have carried in his arms, like infants,
such was their wasted and miserable con-
dition; that upon inquiry he was in
formed that they had been fed on nothing,
for months, but half pint Of raw corn
and small allowance of water; that the
commandant at the Fort said such
were his orders. The first Colonel in
command, who received these orders,
informed Stanton that be could not COM
ply, and asother was substituted for him.
The humane officer at once provided
them tea and necessary food, and did his
best to make them as comfortable as pos
sible, but many died on the passage. On
arriving at Hilton Head and delivering
up his charge, he was told, to his amsz.-
ment, that the commander at that fort
had the same orders in regard to supply
ing the prisoners with food; but stated
that if either Of them had the means Of
purchasing better fare it might be done;
and Colonel Of the party drew for five
thousand dollars on New York, and by
this means their sutferings were allevi-
ated. This Colonel told our informant
afterward that he had thus furnished
$4,000. and every cent OF il, he knew,
would be repaid.
This statement has never, TO our
knowledge, appeared in print before /;
but the present occasion is suitable one
to produce il 1t can easily be verified,
il disputed. We had leave 10 make it
known; but we thought it would be Of no
avail in the condition Of public senti-
ment at the time. A better opportunity
is now offered, and we think the people
ought to know by whose orders it was
that the Confederate prisoners were
kept on half a pint Of raw corn and a
pint Of water day.
