THE KUKLUx COMMITTEE.
The republican members of the congressional
kukluX investigating committee deny that the
sergeant-at-arms Of the senate has counter
manded subpRnas issued TO certain witnesses
at the request of the democratic members of the
committee and notified them that they need not
appear. One democratic witness, Mr.. Harde-
man, of Georgia, has been excused in conse-
quenCe of want of time for his examination be-
fore the date appointed for the recess July IS,
but this was the only case of the kind The
leader of the kukluX in Orange county, North
Carolina, +. N. Strudwicl, and the impeacheT of
Gov. Holden, asked three several times for de-
lay. Finally he came to Washington and re-
ported to the Sergeant-at-armS, but the day
previous to the time for examination left the
city, without leave or notice. He was again
summoned, but asked further time, saying he
was sick. He has not appeared before the COM
mittee.
W. L. Saunders, reported to be state chief of
the kukluX in North Carolina, was also sum-
moned, and asked for further time. Plato Dur
ham, alleged grand chief of the kukluX in
Cleveland county, North Carolina, declined to
come till after the Sd Of August. IL. w. Guyon,
supposed to be connected with the kukluX in
Mecklenberg county, has asked to be excused
on account of court business. Mr.. Avery of
South Carolina reported, and then LETT Wash
ingtOn. Gen. A. r. Wright of Georgia was
summoned on the LIST of July, but has not yet
Ia,
obeyed the summons, among them COL Christy
of Athens, Ga. There are already 100 indict-
ments against members of the kukluX in North
Carolina, and the number will probably be in
creased to two hundred by the time specified for
the term of the circuit court TO be presided over
by Judge Bond.
THE RED MEN.
The agent of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Indians writes, July 9th Little Raven and other
chiefs of the Indian delegation recently visiting
east arrived home June 10Th, all well, finding
everything quiet Two days after, John Smith,
Cheyenne interpreter, died of apoplexy. The
Indians are much pleased with the report Of the
reception of the delegation in Washington and
other eastern cities. Most of the Arapahoes
have gone on a buffalo hunt. Big Mouth, with
about forty lodges, will remain. They have
corn planted which promises good yield. The
agent started a school last winter, which has
been well conducted and largely attended dur
ing the spring and summer by Arapahoe and
Cheyenne children of both sexes, some of the
larger Indians taking much interest in the pro-
Gee dings.
A larger part of the Kiowas encamped near
Antelope hills mean to be friendly, but the re-
mainder, perhaps one hundred lodges, have
gone to Staked Plains and Joined the Comanches
there, They are supplied with all they need by
Mexican traders, including arms, ammunition,
whiskey, &c. These Mexicans accompany the
Indians on their raids in Texas, and at the time
Satanta made his last raid party accompanied
him, one of whom was killed by the Indian
scouts in the employ of the army. The crops
are looking wei on the Washita, and most of
the Indians are hard at work attending to them.
Some alarm is felt about the Kiowas, the In
dams thinking they might come in and steal
their horses. Five hundred Comanches are en-
camped on the Washita. They are determined
to remain at peace.
