Indian Outraces.

ST. LOUIS, June 5.-The RepubH
can has dispatches from Hays City,
Kansas, to the effect that the mail
train which left Sheridan yesterday
morning, was run off the track by
Indians, four miles west of Grinuel.
A considerable number of Indians
were near by while the track was be-
ing repaired, and shots were fred by
both the Indians and the persons be-
longing 10 the train, but no one was
hurt.
Lieutenant Law, with troop of the
Seventh Cavalry, camped near the
mouth of Asher Greek, had seen and
pursued Indians several times, but
they always escaped.
Colonel Weir has Just returned to
Fort Hays, from the pursuit of the
Indians who committed the outrages
at Fossil Creek. He did not over
take them Another scouting party
was sent out by General Custar yes
terday morning.
About one hundred Indians were
seen last evening, within a mile of
Sheridan, with a red flag hoisted.
A dispatch from St. Joseph, Mis-
souri,, says that Fred. K Freeman,
Vice President Of the Southern Res
direction Society, passed through
here this evening, on his way to
commence a lecturing tour through
the Southern States, with a view to
the extensive introduction of COolie
serfdom throughout the South.

NASHVILLE, June 5.-Col. w. B.
Stokes opened the canvass for Cover
nor at the Capital to day in a speech
of three hours length, to a large audi
enee. He discussed a. number of
questions of local interest, reserving
the enfFanehisement question for the
close. This. he said, was the all
absorbing topic, aud as he was seek
ing uficc, the people had a right to
demand an avowal of his opinion rela-
tive to it. He. said be stood By his
record. and read letter upon the sub
iect written by him to Col. ThOrubury
and others In July last. In that letter
he stated that he was not IN favor of
universal suffrage, never bad been.
aud did not know that he ever would
be, and declared that he was in favor
of opening the ballot t-box to rebels
only when it could be safely done, aud
then BY two thirds vote of the Leg
islature
He also referred to his speech in
this city on the 14th of April, in reply
TO johnson, and reiterated the views
therein expressed. In that speech he
said the ballot box would be opened
to the rebels when they ceased to
murder and dassassinate, and showed. by
their good behavior. that they could
be trusted with the ballot. He claimed
that his policy was in accord with
that of the party, as shown in the
Fourteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution, which authorized Congress.
by vote of two. thirds to remove
political disabilitie. ..
Col. Stokes was frequently cheer ed.
and when he closed, a part of the
colored portion of his auditors left
the hall shouting.
81 After the noise and confusion sub
sided, Governor Senter gave his views
upon the question at issue; regarded
the question of enfranchisement as of
paramount importance, and said he
would by no subterfuge seek to egade
it. No leading statesman of the Re
publican party, no journal of nigh
character favored the continued dis
franchisement of the late rebels. The
policy was not sustained BY the Chi
cago Platform. IF elected. as he felt
sure he would be, he would recon
mend the Legislature to take steps to
remove the political disabilities of
every tax paying citizen Of Tennessee.
Governor Senter's speech was we'll re-
ceived, and gave satisfaction to his
supporters. Both gentlemen seemed
confident of success.

Interesting TO RailPOads-The Picked
Bone Of Railroad Contention Here
N ahnsafa ea4 Il HE - ##afaN ~ kH #ft

The through freigbts between
Evansville and the Eastern cities
have been. the subject of warm con-
test for years past By the Eastern
trunk lines and their intermediate
railroad connections. So great an
object have these freights seemed
that competition for them has gener-
ally SO reduced the rates as to make
their transportation of but little inn
portance to any railroad, even if the
tonnage had been much greater than
it ever has been. Not OILY has there
been warm contention for these
through freights between all the
Eastern connections Of the one rail-
road running north and east from
Evansville, but it has been favored
project BY more than one of these
Eastern connecting lines of railroad
to construct or encourage the con-
struction of apnAher railroad from the
north or northeast to Evansville, with
the special object of getting share
OI bul5 through DuSID6SSs
The value of this through business,
and how profitable il would be to the
builders of a new railroad for the
purpose of sharing it, may be guessed
at by a statement Of the freight car
ried and the gross revenue earned
from it. by the Evansville & Craw-
fordsyille Railroad during its past
year. These freights, all told, both
north aud south, including those
originating at and consigned to
Evansville, as we'll asiEthose which
come of of and go on to the river,
amounted last year to fifty four thous-
and tons snd the y. &. G. Railroad
collected from them, for carriage over
its own road, a gross revenue of but
ninety six thousand dollars, being Tess
than mine hundred dollars per mile
gross earnings for the one
hundred and nine miles of the
E. & Q. Railroad used as a
through line. This is the gross reve-
nue.. How much net revenue there
is in through freight carried as this
was, at general average of less than
two cents per ton per mile, railroad
men may judge. e -B0teven this result,
meagre as it is, cannot be taken as
an index to the future, for the rate on
through tonnage Of the present year,
consisting chiefly of cotton and tObae-
co, is rSduced by sharp competition
of the river to about one cent per ton
per mile, even less, not exceeding ten
dollars per car load per 100 miles.
Nor Is the absence Of profitable
through Freights, to and from Evans
vile, in any way compensated by n
profitable through passenger traffic,
for the through passengers on. the 4.
& C.aR. II. for the past year only gave
a gross revenue Of $43. 300. or less
than four hundred dollars per mile
of the 109 miles of road which they
were carried over.

RNGLAND.i fE 8e3I
LONDON, June Ga meeting OF
conservative peers was held yesterday
to determine what course should be
pursued In regard to the bill for the
disestablishment of the Irish Church
Lord Cairns urged that opposition
be made to the bill on the second
reading, and it was fiually rejected.
He said the leaders of the party did
not wish to dictate, and were anxious
that the judgment of each peer should
remain unfettered. He felt as though
the country had never pronounced on
the present bill, and as the feeling Of
the House of Lords was so opposed to
it, the most consistentan and best course
to pursue under the circumstances
would be to repudiate the measure.
Lord Salisbury deprecated the
course recommended by Lord Cairns,
the agitation which would follow
the rejection of the bill would be
most disastrous to the country, and
do nothing to save theIIrish Church.
It would be better to accept the bill
and modify 1t IN committee than re-
new i'll feeling and excitement. Lord
Caravan supported the recommen
dation of Lord Salisbury. He argued
that the Chamber of Peers, now that
it was able to make terms for the
Irish Church, should do so, as they
might not have an opportunity herel
after. .-.laas haa
Lord Derby as,in favor of the re-
lection of the bill, contending that
personal fears should deter no one
from doing right. 7'rF
The majority of Lords present ap-
proved the views Of Lord Derby, and
it was agreed that a second reading
of the bill should be opposed.
1t Is estimated that there will be a
majority Of eighty against the Irish
Church bill at its second reading in
the House of Lords. EEl4 4
