ANOTHER SAVAGE OUTRAGE.
ORLEANS, June Is.

Lawrence county has been the scene of
most diabolical outrage, by some parties as
yet unknown, in which an attempt was
made to murder white family and burn
the building in which the assassins hoped
to cOnfine their victims.
This morning between / and O'Clock the
house of the Moody family, two miles north
of this place, and near the dividing line be-
tween Orange and Lawrenc counties, con-
sisting of four old bachelor brothers, Mrs
ToIiiver, widowed sister of the Moody's,
and hired man man named Lee, was en-
tered and most desperate attempt made
to murder the entire family, and burn the
house.
Mr.. Thomas Moody made a rush for the
door, attempting to escape, when he receiv
ed ball from one of the revOlvers in the
hip, the ball passing upward and entirely
through the body, boming out at the upper
portion of the breast. Another ball passed
through the thigh of Mr.. Lee, who was also
endeavoring to flee from the assassins. caus-
ing a very severe and painful wound, but
not necessarily fatal. He will probably re-
cover. Mrs. Tolliver was terribly burned
by the benzine and torpedOes There is no
possible chance, it is believed, for the recov-
cry of Mr.. Moody, as the wodnd Is a most
fearful one, and from which he is suffering
terribly.

A RIOT.
New YORK, June 23.-A riot in Bloom
field, New Jersey, yesterday was very Sc
rious affair and threatened to end in a viO-
lent collision. The excitement was very
great.
At an early hour this morning Messrs.
Weeker & Hidde, the contractors for the
bridge. arrived at the scene with a large
force of men, said to be well armed and an
nounced their intention of holding their
ground against any opposition. AS the cit
liens are equally determined, a conflict
seems eminent unless the authorities inter-
fere to prevent it.

GoRDoSsvnLK, SMITH Co., June n
hasten to give you an account Of an out
rage perpetrated In this vicinity yesterday
morning. and It's tragical result Last night.
As the daughter Of Mr.. f. Z. Buckner, who
lives about two miles from this place, was
going to school, black fend named Frank
Buckner, and who was in his employ at the
time, waylaid her, and forcibly violated her
person. She is abont IA or 10 years old. and
has always been a delicate child. The fam
lily Is highly respectable, and. as may be in
ferred, the sympaEhies of the whole com
munity were excited in their behalf, as
soon as the facts were known, and the deep
est indignation was aroused against the
perpetrator of the horrid deed.
But the outrage was too much for human
nature. 1t was too much TO expect that
men with human souls could look upon that
pale child 50 crushed and outraged. think
of their own daughters and sisters and go
70 sleep while the guilty villain lived.
Last night body of men awoke the
sheriff and demanded the Jail keys of him,
telling him they only wanted Frank. See
ing that resistance was vain, he gave them
up They then quietly opened the doors,
took the negro out, and hung him to tree,
where he was found dead this morning. All
this was done without the least disturbance
and the men who did it were not disguised.

Grants Indian Policy.

The policy of the President toward
the Indians is one of peace. 1t
has saved the country not less than
500, 100000, during the past year or
two. while it has enabled settlers
quietly to proceed in their work of
creating new communities at the
West. The problem Of the treatment
of the Indians is forever pressing for
solution. for there is no end of 'front.'
Ter outbreaks and outragcs. The
army favors a sharp military policy.
The people on the border are anxious
10 get rid Of the Indians, while we
here are apt to think that the true
solution Of the matter is TO have the
Indians into territories and secure
them permanent and peaceful pos
session of the lands on which they
are located. Such was the recommen-
dation Of the commissioner in 1868.
In one of these territories they would
place about $4,000 Indians and in
the other, $4,000. Probably as many
more altogether would be left outside
TO wander over the land and DO slow
ly "civiized" into less cumbrous
bodies ofmen. Nothing is more true
than that the Indians must gradually
melt away, and the question is by
what means he will disappear the
most surely He so easily succumbs
to the vices of civilization, and makes
so little progress in its sustainings
and improving influences, that the
end cannot be far off. War is costly
and cruel. 1t slowly reduces the
tribe force, but at great expenditure
of our blood and treasure. Peace is
far cheaper. The Indian does not
naturally take to war. Give him a
home comfort, food and good treat
ment, and q reservation in the Rocky
mountains would be as little the
cause of apprehension as the reserva-
ton in this State. This is the peace
policy-the policy of the President,
and it is daily commanding itself to
the people.
