KukIux OutraVes,

Nav YORK, March l4.-An Atlanta,
Georgia, special to the Tribune gives
the details of the murder of DR.. Darden
by the Kukiux. 1t appears that in a
personal difficulty with Wallace, the
editor of the kuklux paper at Warren
ten, Darden shot Wallace. He imme-
diately surrendered to the civil author.
tiles, and was placed in jail on Fri
day. Sheriff Norris, fearing Darden
would be unsafe there, called on the bet
ter GLASS of citizens to act as u posse to
guard the Jail over night; but the citi-
ZeDs declined to act, being Overawed by
a band of Kuklux, numbering about one
hundred, who took possession of the
town. They then demanded the keys
of the iaif from the Sheriff. On his re-
fusal to deliver them their demOnstra-
tions became so violent that he was
compelled to seek safety in flight, TAX
ing the keys with him. The band, at
midnight, returned to the Jail and
broke in.
Fearing that Darden had pistol, the
cowardly assassins built a fire at the
doorway and smoked him out. DR..
Darden asked time to make a will,
which was granted. He was then
taken out in the presence of his wife
and children and bsrbarOusly murdered
by these savages, not less than one hun
dred and fifty pistol balls piercing his
body. The Sheriff is now here ling
military protection for his county and
his own life. Since the assassination of
the Sheriff of Richmond county at the
November election, this man is the only
Republican Sheriff left in the State.
An attempt was made to assassinate
Darden last September, aud warrants
obtained by him against certain par
ties, which warrants were in the hands
of the present Sheriff for service, when
he, Norris, was wIylaid aud wounded
in December. The county of Warren is
the headquarters of the Kuklux for six
Counties, and it is in this section that
the outrages and murders of Republi-
cans have been most frequent. Appli
cations have been repeatedly made by
the civil authorities TO the military for
protection in that section, but without
avail.

4 Delegation of Indians visit the
President.

WASHINGTON, March l5-This after
noon a delegation of representatives OF
the Cherokee, ChOCtaw, Creek aud
Chickasaw Indians had an interview
with the President. Over twenty per-
sons we're present. Upon the tribes be-
ing introduced to the President, Gov
ernor Wright stated, in behalf of the
civilized tribes Of Indians represented,
that they appeared before hlm to pay
their respects and extend their congrat-
ulation TO him. The Administration,
he said, was looked upon with CONF
dence, and they were highly gratliied
with the Presidents declaration in his
inaugural address, that ne would do
what was for the best interest of the
Indian tribes.
The Speaker, in behalf of the Repre-
sentatives, presented to the President
a memorial stating substantially the
agreement in tine treaty stipulatiOns to
use their influence in behalf of the
plains Indians, and Informed the Presi-
dent of heir desire TO accomplish last
ing peace between the Government and
the Indians, which they felt confident of
consummating if upheld by the Govern
ment in their efforts. The President re-
piled that he was glad TO be informed
that they would aid the policy for peace
between the whites and Indians and
would be glad of any measure which
would accomplish that peace and tend
to civilization and make them
citizens of the government. He felt
that the march of c!vilizatSon alone
must of itself effect the civilization of
tribes now hostile to the government.
Governor Wright thought if the Indi-
ans were brought to the borders of civ
ilized nations and settle there the intlu-
euce of civilization and christianity
would effect much good, stop the she'd
ding Of blood, aud, as the President sug-
gested, ultimately make citizens of
th-m.
The delegates were foe, Intelligent
looking men. The interview was of n
very pleasant character.
