THREATENED WAR WITH THE KIowAs.-
The Adjutant General of the Army has trans

ton, letter from Col. Grier, dated Fort Sill,
indian Territory, June 10, in which he SAYS that
there are some indications that the Kiowas will
soon begin hostilities in revenge for the death

not join them, and that unless they are aided by
the Cheyennes, which he thinks doubtful, he
does not believe there. will be an outbreak.
Military precautions are being taken, however.

way, some in another. In some places
one plan is tried, and elsewhere some
other plan. Among ourselves, temper
ance brethren, there is and ought to be
no quarrel, but an honest difference of
opinion. But we tried enforcing the
liquor law in every township, organic
ing temperance societies in every town
ship, and the result is, all the whisky
dens are closed. That is what we want
ed-who could ask more? And this
was done by enforcing the present liquor
law. The law was strong enough to
close every whisky shop in Noble coun-

county, when the great masses of the
people are stirred up and thoroughly or
ganized. They are the masters of public

Says A. II. Stephens paper, the
Columbus (Ga.) Sun: "The Demo-
cratic press of Georgia is nearly a
unit against the new departure
heresy. There is some difference as
to the mode and manner of conduct
ing the fight for principle, but we
believe the True Georgian is the
only Democratic paper in the State
that espouses the new policy doc
trine, and embraces the harlot Of
........
The people of Georgia are not pre-
pared to surrender vital principles
for temporary advantage, and of
this there are no surer indices than
the utterances of the press. They
may be willing to remain outside of
the national political cauldron, and
calmly wait the developments OF
the incarnation, but will never con-
sent that wrong is right, or that
usurpation and central depotism
shall forever control the destinies oi
the country. They "accept the sit
uation" SO far as to recognize the
binding force of the Constitutional
Amendments and the laws, and
their obligations of obedience there
to; but they do not, never will, and
never ought to enter into a compact
of eternal silence, or barter away
the inevitable opportunity to decen'
tralize the government, re-establish
constitutional balances and restore
the rights of the States and the lib.
critics of the citizens.
If the Northern Democrats who
accept the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments as finalities are in
earnest, and mean what they say,
then we can have no afiIiation with
them, for they agree to the eentrali'
zation of the government, the Wip.
ing out of the State lines, the con
centration of imperial power in the
Executive, the subordination of the
Legislative and judicial departments
of the government, and the abandon
ment of the writ of habeas corpus
If they are not in earnest, and are
really only playing a game of "make

lis too shallow, and will recoil upon
them with crushing effect. There

France.

Affairs continue to wear an en-
couraging look in France. The peo-
pie in both the cities and country
have made up their minds to give
the Republic a fair trial, and all the
discord is hushed for the time being.
Every week fortifes the popular
confidence in M. Thiers' patriotism
and sagacity, and he now possesses
a hold upon French hearts which no
other individual has enjoyed in a
century. In an article on the situa-
ton, the Paris Temps observes ;
"Nothing could strengthen the Gov
ernment more than the adhesions
which reach it from the opposite
quarters, some men belonging to
other regimes, who recognize that
the cause of the Republic is identi.
cal with that of social safety, and
from the hard and fast Republicans,
who abandon something Of their
absolute doctrines to join with others
in practical effort and mutual toIera.
ton" If, after all the trials
through which they have passed, the
French people should now secure a
successful Republic, to NJ. Thiers
will be due very much of the credit.

Speaker Blaine on the Issues
Of the Day.

The Hon. Jas. G. Blaine, Speaker
of the House of Representatives, was
serenaded at Saratoga on the eve
ming of the 10th, about ten thousand
persons being present. In response
to the call he spoke in substance as
follows: .r..
"He said there never was a time
when there was less need of a speech,
or when the facts of public record
carried more plainly with them
their own arguments. The two par
ties must be judged not by profess
sions, but by acts. The Republicans
are in full power in Washington,
and the Democrats in New York.
No one need to draw the picture
which this brace of facts presents to
every intelligent mind. In Wash
ington every dollar of surplus funds
is applied toward paying the nation
al debt, while in New York every
dollar that can be wrung from the
tax payers is applied to the benefit
of a private ring. Since the inaugu-
ration of Grant, s25, 100000 of the
debt have been, paid, and this pay.
ment has been made while taxes
have been repealed yielding $780,
100000 per annum. Without the
aid of the leadership of Tammany,
it would be impossible for the DEM
ocrats to carry New York, and with
out the State of New York their
chance in 1872 is. not worth recog-
nizing. The power of Tammany,
with =. its money in the North, and
the power of terrorism in the South,
are the weapons relied upon by the
Democrats to carry the National
contest next year, Were it not for
this, we should have peace to-day
throughout the length and breadth
of the land. The united appeals Of
the aspirants for presidential nomi-
nation by the Democracy, would
produce peace in the South. This
brings to the test the sincerity of the
new departure. When every man
in the United States enjoys his full
rights under the constitution by CO.
operation of the Democratic party,
then we shall have faith in the sin.
cerity of this sudden conversion.
He pointed to the Democratic rule
in New York as false to the first
principles of religious freedom, and
aiming a deadly blow at American
liberty in attempting to interfere
with the Orange procession, and de-
manded for PrOtestants and Catholics
alike the right to celebrate their an
niversaries in their own way. With
the course of the Democrats he con-
trasted the policy of the Republican
party, which showed no favoritism
to any religious sect and was true to
the Declaration of Independence.
He also eulogized its foreign policy,
which was one of peace, and its his
tory contained no more brilliant
chapter than that which recorded
the Treaty Of Washington. Our diff
ferences with England were graver
than those which existed between
France and Germany, but we had
settled in a wise and christian spirit,
questions which might have led to a
greater war than that just ended in
Europe" a a=Ta. fe.

Democracy and Free Speech.


We presume the Democrats of Louis
vile, KY, talk of "free speech, J." ''liber-
ty of the press" and SO on, with as
much apparent honesty as the party
does elsewhere, but here is the way they
act. We believe that works are the best
evidence of a mans faith, and hence,
when a Democrat talks "free speech, -
and then acts as the Louisville Demo-
Gratis have done-or, when man, pro-
Tossing to be Republican, consents to
be used as a tool in the hands of the
Democrats for the disorganization of the
party he processes to love-we cannot
but conclude that the professions of
both are deceptive and false. rl
But as to Democratic "free speech" ."
The following statement by the Louis
vile correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, under date August Sd, is sufi-
cient in this direction:
A public meeting on the levee was ad-
dressed, tonight, by H: Price, judge of
the city court, in behalf of the Demo-
cratic candidates, after which Hon. Sam
Mckee was called upon to address the
meeting from Republican standpoint.
Mr.. Mckee arose and began to speak,
and the roughs tried to cry him down.
Not succeeding in this, they threw
stones, one of which struck him on the
head, infieting a painful wound, tenn
porarily disabling him. Capt. Balling,
another Republican, mounted the stand,
defied the mob, and made speech. At
ter speaking, Judge Price left the stand,
probably anticipating trouble. There
was evidently a precoucerted plan to
break up the meeting. No policemen
were present. iii. eaa
If a Democyatic speaker had thus
been interrupted the account would not
have endeRL''no policemen were pres
ent." .

offence to allow cattle, sheep or hogs,

The owners of such stock running
at large are also liable for all dam

to the condition of the fence around
said premises. Gates may be open,
bars may be down, or there may be
no fence at all, and still the owner
is liable for damages done.
