feigned names before the grand jury,
and that the reason why l have not
found them is because they are
known by other names where they re-
side. By strategy / have secured
service Of the process on three Of the
witnesses: but they have failed tc ap.
pear. I caused attachments TO De ls-
sued against them, but they have not
answered. One Of the parties has been
bold enough to inform me that the IN
strument said to have been issued Dy
General Jordan is a forgery. l am
now convinced that the same is the
result Of a concerted conspiracy, by
means of which fraud was practiced
upon me and perjury on the grand jul
ry. I ask now that the indictments
be nOLle-prOseQuied. The case en-
bodies a gross conspiracy against Gen
eraI Jordan. Although the General
has been connected to some extent
with the insurreetion of Cuba, yet in
this case he has been made the victim
of villainous persons whose object
was to obtain money by supplying
false information to the Spanish su-
thorities."
"Mr. Phelps here rose and informed
the court that although General
Jordan sympathized with the cause of
Cuba, in common with the people Of
the United States, he had never vic.
lated the neutrality laws. Since the
indictments against him were found,
one year ago, he had been put to
great inconvenience, annoyance and
expense in defending himself from the
false charges preferred against him.
"Judge Benedict-Let a not pros.
be entered as of course, and the bail
be discharged. recommend the dis
trict attorney TO have indictments
found against the witnesses for per-
Jury. I also recommend that all the
facts in the case be communicated to
the proper department in Washing
ton, with a view to ascertain whether
the Spanish consul has had any con
nection with the proceedings in this
case.
General Jordan calmly heard the
decision of the judge. At the close
his friends gathered round him and
rendered their congratulations on his
escape from the federal courts, where,
until the cOmmendable action of Noah
Davis and Judge Benedict, the liberty
of a Cuban patriot was at the mercy
Of the peIjured spies of Spain."

THE opponents of Grant are gradu-
ally cohesing. People in all sections
of the Union are coming to realize
that the safety Of the country, their
liberties and the perpetuity Of free in
situations demand the defeat of a pres
fdent who has permitted the country
to be snUbbed by Russia, cufed by
Spain and whose only distinguishing
feature is tyranny Of the South, nepo-
tism and bribe-taking. As a CORES
pendent Of the Nashville Banner
says: "The paramount consideration
and the protested object and earnest
desire of every opponent of the party
now in power, whether he style him
self Democrat, Old-Line Wing, ConseI-
vative, OF Liberal Republican, is the
defeat Of the Grant party in the COM
ing National struggle. The accom-
plishment Of this object they all regard
as a great overshadoWing public ne
cessity, without which no ameliora-
ton Of the condition Of e t~aX-burden-
ed, systematically.oppressed people
can be hoped for or expected"

CnI0NEL nEN. ]. HILI-

Among the many distinguished
strangers which the railroad interests
have brought to Memphis, we are graf
flied to meet Colonel Ben. J. Bill, OF
McMinnviIle. he honored rs with a
call on Tuesday, and we are grstihed
to see him in such excellent health
and fine spirits. The fame OF Colonel
Hill has been familiar to the Southern
people since the day General Brock
fnridge awarded his command the
banner for gaIantry. Colonel Hill Is
not only the brave and dashing sol
der who loves to revel in the fiery
hell OF battle, but he Is the true pa
triot, model gentleman, upright citi-
zen, faithful friend, and low
ing husband. Indeed, he is
a man endowed with most Of
the noblest qualities that can be
bestowed by heaven upon mankind.
There is neither injustice, malignitys
O an atom of meanness Of any sort
in his character. He is as brave and
courageous as the lion, yet he would
be panied to do bodily harm or wrong
to any man and would not hurt Uncle
Toby's fly. The wrongs and woes OF
Others are ever his own. His purse is
open to the needy, even unto empti-
ness; and he is ever ready to give his
time, his talents, his labor, or even
lay down his life, in behalf Of the
weak, the innocent or the ag-
grieved, more ready indeed than
in his own cause. He is some
times rash, impetuous and VIC
lent when aroused, but the i'm
pulses that arouse him, even in error
are always pure, unselhsh and chival-
rOus. II Colonel Hill makes as good
q president Of the road over which he
presides as he did a Confederate SOL
der, he viii soon eclipse the fame Of
Tom Scott. The name Of "Ben Hip
stands high in the Pantheon prepared
for the sons Of Tennessee, and we
hope he may long live an ornament
to the State and in the enjoyment of
every blessing.

@THE South Carolina ku-klUx trials
hsSing sccme 10 an abrupt termina-
fion. il is nov seen that the outrages
confessed by a few Of the very lowest
of the white population resulted from
a spirit Of revenge personal to those
inaIcting and the inflicted, and that
poljtics had nothing whatever to do
with the matter. The New York Sun
fRsdical), animated by a spirit Of fair
plsv. admits that the country where
the disturbances took place had been
in an unsettled condition; the whites
had, in many instances, been pillaged
and burnt out by the lowest class OF
negroes; and, az. those all belonged to
the loyal league, it wa impossible to
secure their conviction in any OF the
courts; while, even If convicted OF
such offences, the sentence Of MEM
Der Of the league was pretty sure TO pc
followed by a pardon from the gov
eruor. This infamed the passions Of
the mean whites, as they are called,
who have a natural antipathy to the
colored race, and led them into the
commission of outrages Of the most
cruel and barba1ous character. This
vas not because the negroes voted the
Ragublican ticket, bat because OF the
bitter feeling existing between the
lowest classes Of the two races, aggra-
vnted BY the impunity with which
tie neerces were permitted 70 plum.

THE leading radical journals do en-
Joy Iucidmoments, when, freetrom the
passion which is their leading charac-
teristic, they struggle to tell the truth.
The Philadelphia Inquirer furnishes q
case in point. In a recent issue it
tells that "from the counties Of Texas
bordering on the Rio Grande come
once more the reports Of wholesale
cattle thieviDg. These raiders cross
the river, make a dash on the herds,
and by the time the alarm is given,
and assistance and protection arrive
in the form of a handful Of United
States troops, the maraUders have re-
gained Mexican soil, where Our sol
diers cannot follow them. The only
apparent protection to the suffering
cattIe-owners would be a dense line OF
troops along the entire bank Of the
river. This the Washington authorities
are not able or disposed to furnish, while
the Mexican government will not
give permission for the scant Ameri-
can forces now on the scene to pursue
over the border. There is, therefore,
no help for the Texans but to arm
themselves and keep a strong guard
all along the river border of their cat
tie districts" The truth is there is
help other than that suggested. But,
rs the Inquirer admits, it depends
upon the disposition Of the govern
ment, which, as manifested by Gen
eral Grant, is to employ the United
States troops to tyrannize over the
people of the South rather than to
punish their border enemies. The
United States guarantees protec-
ton to its citizens. Why not Sc
cure it to those Of the Texas bOr-
der as well as to those Of the
northwest? Why impOsean expensive
system Of self-protectiOn upon the
Texans, and employ so large a body
Of troops in The Territ ries to protect
a sparsely settled country? There is
but one ans ser to a question so per-
tinent, and it lies in the acknoWl-
edged fact that Grant, IS he admitted
Yesterday In Washington, Is bending
all his power to continue himself in
Office. He has troops to Overawe an
imaginary horde Of ku-klux, and to
prevent the people from a free p~artici-
patton in their local elections but he
hss none to protect them from
the fncursions Of thieves who
are robbing them Of their prop
erty. He has nothing to hope for
from Texas that bayOnet rule under
The ku-kIux law will not secure him,
while at the Northwest he can only
hope to sustain himself by seceeding
to the steady clamOr for armed pro-
for settlers. The people Of
Texas or the South, have nothing to
hope for from Grant. His disposition
IS to use the whole power Of the gov
srnment to iDjure them, to force them
o mis- behests by r~epressive measures
)r by a neglect that Is as bad, since it
entails the same extent of injury at
he hands Of Mexican bandits that
hey have already suffered at those Of
Radical thieves.

A NoLLE PROS. WHICH SHOWS HOW
THE WIND BLOWS,

THE WIND BLOWS.
The New York Sun, of Monday,
saws: "One year ago General Thomas
Jordan was indicted by the grand
Jury OF the United States circuit court
for violating the neutrality laws in en-
listing men for the Cuban service.
Neither himself nor his counsel were
able to obtain the names and resi-
dences of the Spanish witnesses, and
the trial was postponed frOm term to
term. AT half past three O'Clock yes
terday afternoon Judge Davis, the
United States district attorney, rushed
into the circuit court. Judge Bene-
dict sat on the bench, and there were
not more than a score of persons pres
ent. General Jordan sat next his
counsel, Mr.. Phelps, and several Gu
bans were in the gallery.

Judge Davis addressing the court. Il
move that a nOLe pTOseQui be entered
in the case OF General Thomas Jordan,
who has been indicted for violating
the neutrality laws. 1 shall briefly
state the reasons which have led me
to ask your honor 10 dismiss the pro-
ceedings. l have called upon the
counsel Of the Spanish government to
furnish me with a list of the witnesses
and their residences who have testified
before the grand jury. Names and res
licences were furnished, and l found
that the witnesses we're scattered over
Maryland, Virginia and Illinois. l
Immediately ordered the process Of
the court to be Issued and served upon

investigation, that the witnesses did
not reside at the residences they had
given. I have pursued the inquiry
still further, and offered TO pay the ex-
penses of a party who knew the wit

to aid the marshal in his search,

Territorial News.

From the Citizen of the 18th:
 The Apaches are about TIbac and again at their business of theft. Several days since they stole twenty head of cattle there, drove them off to a safe spot, killed every one and carried the meat into the mountains, as is positively known by citizens tracing the thieves to where the killing was done, and to their entrance into the mountains. At the same time, Thomas Gardner went from his farm ill the S0nOita Valley to purchase provisions at Tubac, and while in camp there the Indians stole three of his best horses, one of which he recently purchased at cost of S175.
 The following are the new agents for the Indian reservations in Arizona. They were selected by the Dutch Reform Church, ,and approved by the Secretary of the Interior. They may soon be eX- pected in the Territory: Grant E. C. Jacobs, of Wyoming Terri tory; Apache-J. H Lyman, of MassachusettG Verde = Dr. J. Williams, of PeXnsylvania. What nL Nnow" about Indians would probably fill a large volume, but if they are men of common practical sense and integrity, and disposed to learn, we can smile at their awkWardness at the start.
 We hear that Geo. w. Grayson has the contract for supplying this Department with beef and mutton after July 1st.
