,Sore as EJom such ylstice.- Between the
orders of Judge Underwood, of the United
States court, and Judge Wingtield, of the
State court, Thorpe Ii. Nance, Esq, OF
Bedford, is having quite a gay time.
A telegram, received here this morning
by his counsellors, Messrs. jenkins & Pop
ham, informs them that he is now i'll jail at
Lynchburg, there, we presume, upon some
order OF Judge Wingfeld's court.
An application will be made to Judge
Underwood for his release Immediately.
This treatment of citizen by these two
judicial officers is simply an outrage, and
should be stopped at once. If Judge Un-
derwood is wrong Judge Wmglield had
better put him in jail. If Judge Wmgtield
is wrong Judge Underwood had better give
him taste Of his authority. The authorl-
ty of one or the other of these courts III
this case is superior; that of Judge Under
wood we believe to be that one. If he be-
lieves it, why not have Judge Wingfield ar
rested and imprisoned, in order that tn,
question may be settled. .f..
1t is true Mr.. Nance is but an humble
citizen of the State, but that is no reason
he should be made the sufferer by these
judicial differences.
Let this question be taken to the Sn
preme Court of the United States, if neces
sary, or elsewhere where the orders of thu
court will be respected, and not be drag
ging poor Nance to Jail every thirty days
To the want of iirmness in our Fedora
courts, are we indebted for much of on
present condition. In this connection, frou
some unknown cause, the contested cleo
ton cases of this city have never bee
heard. The people have so long eXpecte
settlement of them, and have so oite
been disappointed, they are now thorough
disgusted, to which fact we may acered

MANUFACTURING.

MEssRs EDITORs.-There has been
considerable said through your paper
about the manufacturing interests of
the city, and yet there seems to be no
move in that direction. l think those
having the largest interests financially
should feel the most interest, but if
they will not, rather than have the sub
jeet lay dormant it would be well to
have some of the ''lesser- lights do
something in the matter.
Now, my judgment is that every
dollar invested in well aud judicious-
ly organized stock company for manu-
featuring purposes, would pay divi-
dends of at least twenty per cent, be-
sides increasing the value of property
more than everything else that we
could do. For instance: if every man
owning one thousand dollars worth of
property would take stock to the
amount of ten per cent and it should
prove, to pay twenty per cent. profit,
land no such investments are paying
less, that can hear of would not an
Investment Of twenty-five Thousand
dollars increase the actual cash value of
the city aloney say nothing ofsthe coun-
ty property, to double that amount the
first year? If so, would itnot pay bet-
ter than anything we are doing? /
reckon on the basis of what l have
learned OF similar companies and as
they say on their lowest possible esti-
mates. ] see no reason why such in
vestments would not pay as well here
as anywhere, and some things better.

stock company with, say, twenty five
thousand dollars Cor more if necessarily.

THE FIGHT WITH THE Usage IN.
DIANS.

The following is extracted from an
official letter received at the office of
the superintendent of Indian affairs,
giving an account of the attack recently
made in the Indian territory upon a
party of Osages by white men, on the
18th inst: .s-
NO-pa-walla, chief of the Little
Osages, and seme,Of his head men, ten
in number, started in the morning from
their little village, which is about eight
miles south of the Kansas line, to trade
robes and furs at one of the border
towns of the State. They were met
when about two miles on their way, by
seventeen border white men, armed
with guns and revolvers, who demand
ed the return of horse which they al
legged had been stolen by some of the
Osages. The chief assured them that
his braves at the camp would find the
horse for them if he was in their herds.
The white men after consultation pre-
sented their arms and ordered the In
dams to dismount, which some of them
did; and others attempted to escape.
The whites commenced firing at the
Osages, and pursued them, the Indians
making no resistance whatever, as they
were unarmed. The chief was wound
eu sligntIy IN the shoulder. Two OF MS
men, fnoffensive and peaceable like
himself were badly, if not fatally
wounded, and another was pursued TO
the river and killed. Another saved
his life by diving into lake.
Some of the Indians escaped to the
village, and amidst great excitement
abont seventy five warriors left in pur-
suit of the whites, and overlook them
before they reached the state line, and
as they refused to stop and deliver the
ponies and robes which they had taken,
they were fired upon by the Osages.
| One white man was killed, and two
were taken prisoners; five horses were
captured. The remainder of the ma
RAIDERS made their escape and spread
the report that the Indians were perpe-
| trating general massacre of the Wo-
men and children of the border.
The Indians released the two prison
ers whom they captured, and also have
| given up the horses taken by them in
the fight. 40
A delegation fromsthe settlers OH the
| border have brought down to the
agency the pony which the thieves and
murderers took with them, and seemed

DOWN THE WALNUT.

The people of Cottonwood Falls and
the towns in the Walnut Valley are
agitating project to build railroad
frem a connection with the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe road, at Cotton
wood Falls, down the Walnut valley to
Arkansas City. Several meetings have
already been held. 1t is expected that
the A. I. s. S. F. Co. will take hold of
the enterprise and build the road.
The Walnut valley is unsurpassed by
any section in the State for fertility,
extent of arrable land, quantity and
quality of timber. water power, and all
that goes to constitute the elements of
. rich and populOus country, and no
one can doubt, for moment, who has
seen that section of the State, but that a
railroad running its entire length
would soon be paying investment to
those who would build it.
We shall be pleased to hear of ar
engagements being made which will, IN
sure the speedy construction of this
road.

That the location of the 7 early Meet

DECADENCR OF MORMONIsM.

The problem of the continuance of
mormonism as a..dominant power, even
in the territory or Utah, seems drawing
to its solution. The opening of the
Pacific Railroad aud the consequent i'm
migration of large numbers of ''Gen-
tiles" unbelieying but enterprising, is
gradually but pereeptibiy weakening
Brigham Young's absolute power.
Capitalists with large wealth are turn
ing their attention to opening the val
liable silver mines in the territory, and
new lines of railroads are building and
projected. The mormon Tribune, the
