THE INDIANS.
The Kiowas ON the war-Psfh -Dcpre-
dations in Southern Colorado and
New McnicO-Mnsanrrc In Yexns

WASHINGTON, June 2G.-Ohicial
reports to the Indian Bureau from the
lndiah country represent that the
hl0wa Indians are reported % have
left their reservation and zone r.,
Texas on a marauding expedition. but
that they will be- forced 10 return
without interference Of the military
The Chcyenncs and Arapahoes are
afraid that in the suppression Of the
expedition af the klOwas their own
people may innOcently suffer. With
this view they have demonstrated
with the Kiowas and threaten that
unless the latter abandon their trip in
to Texas, they (thc Cheyennes and
Arapahocs) will combine and declare
war against the Kiowas. 1t is be-
lieyed by the Indian agent that these
threats will be successful, and that
the Kiowas now in Texas will immc-
diately retreat to their reservation.
oUTRAGEs IN THE TERRITORIES.
ST. LOUIS, June GA late Den
yer Tribune says, editorially, that
various correspondents to that paper
in Southern Colorado and Mexico,
state that extensive and combined de
predations are seriously apprehended
in the sparsely settled posts in those
territories. The Kiowas, Arapahoes.
Cheyennes, Comanchcs, Nayajocs and
AFaehes held frequent councils dur
ing the past winter, at which it was
endeayored to dissipate all tribal
preJudlces, and effect II combination
for general Indian war. Recent
murders and rObberies in New Mexico
Arizona, Texas, and Otherplaces were
referred to as evidence of the intent
of the Indians, but whether a COM
plete combination has been effected is
not yet known. The Tribune further
states that letter from prominent
United States officer, dated Fort Lee,
June IL, SAYS warriors Of the Apa-
ches, Cheyenncs and ArapahOes, are
organizing ostensibly for an attack on
the Utes, of Colorado, but the officer
thinks raid on the frontier is really
their object. The government au-
thoritics are doing all they can to
break up the movement.
MASSACRE ~ TEXAS.
New ORLEANS, June 2G.-The
Galveston Ciriiiaa published letter
dated Fredericksburg, Texas, June
lG, stating that General Mckenzie,
Lieutenant Smith and eight men were
surprised by sixty Indians, and killed,
between Fort Belknap and Jacksboro.
Out of the thirteen in Mckcnzic's
party only three escaped.

TIE New York Nation cannot sup
port Mr.. GREELEY any longer. Last
week it took a rather unceremOnious
leave of him in terms by no means
courteous or complimentary. 1t re-
CARDS his nomination rs a failure, and
believes that if the Baltimore con-
vention should pcrpetratc the folly Of
endorsing him, it will become the
duty of every honest man in country
TO vote against him. The Nation
shudders at the prospect of what Mr..
GREELEY and ''thc motley crew of
soreheads aud blatherskitcsr who now
cling to him would do if they We're in
stalled at the head of the government.
Considering the fact that the Nation
is the bitter opponent Of Gen. GRANT,
and that it has done more than any
one paper in the country to encourage
the Cincinnati movement, which it
now acknowledges to be failure,
this unmistakable expression of its
views is very significant.

follows:
CONFIDENTIAL.
JUNE, 2S,-Dedr Sir: The Gin
cinnati movement, conceived in cor
ruption, has SO far spread its malign
influence that prompt measures alone
can save the Democratic party from
disbandment and dcsertion. 1t is i'm
possible for the village politicians,
who have seized the party machinery,
to succeed in anything but their
avowed object to disband the party
as a means of future usefulness. The
Democratic organization should be
preserved, and as the Grceleyites an
nounced their intention to bolt and to
support their candidates if they did
not secure their object, it is now the
duty of true Democrats to prepare for
severance from such politicians, and
by throwing off the elements of dis
cord, to make the organization purer,
stronger and better in the future. The
honest men of the country will be at
tractcd to that party which plants it.
selfon principle. The Cincinnati Con-
vcntion was self-constituted body of
leaders without followers. Half of
them have bolted 1t requires only
bold, prompt action to send dismay in
to the ranks of the scheming politi-
clans, who seek plunder and office.
Democrats should prepare now for a
Democratic nomination at all hazards.
You arc earnestly requested to attend
the Baltimore Convention, and to Sc
cure the presence of, at least, two
prominent true Democrats from each
Congressional district of your State.
If the Baltimore Convection is so lost
to reason, so shameless in the total
abandonment of principles, as to go
outside of the party, such action is
not binding, and it remains for true
Democrats then to organize another
Convention without them, and to
nominate tried and trustworthy stand |
As between such men
and the Radicals there cannot be any
doubt that the leading politicians
who have endeavored to disrupt the
party as solitary and standard leaders
without follower. Immediate prep
aration for this action may bring
politicians to their senses. Please re-
port to me without delay names and |
addresses of those who will attend for
the purpose indicated, and also their
address in Baltimore.
Yours truly.

all though that campaign, that II
Hartranft were not elected, Grant
could not be; that it was madness
as il is now-to contend that the
State could go one way in October,

every vote for HARTRANFT in October
was worth two for GRANT in Novem-

easily although the Democrats made
a determined rally, and urged what
the Press is now urging, that the re-

What the Democrats contended for
then, the Press is contending for now,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsIINToN ID. &. June 9th

THE LABOR MOVEMENT IN LONDON
A few days ago the telegraph re.
ported that the employees connected
with the building trade in London
had struck for an advance of wagcs
and reduction of time II appears
that their present wages are seven
pence per hour, and ten hours consti-
tute days work. They seek an adj
vance to nine pence per hour, and
the reduction of the hours of labor to
nine hours a day. They claim that
IN adition to the ten hours of work,
they are compelled TO go long distan-
ces in their own time TO and from
their work. 1t seems that mason
gets 40 pence per day, or about 81 40
and what they strHck for is 50 pence
per day for nine hours work, which
would be equal to 81 80 per day
The mechanics of Washington receive
from "a to s. per day, more than
twice as much as their brother work
men in London, and vet living and
rent are higher in the aggregate in
London than in Washington City
This illustration affords the most
striking contrast between the great
difference il the social and personal
standing OF mechanics in the United
States and abroad Upon the Euro
pean Continent mechanics and labor
ers are paid even less in proportion,
so that when wages are doubled in
Europe they will yet be very consid-
erably below those that are paid to
the mechanics in the United States.
In the face of these blessings, and
their general prosperity it would be
treason to themselves, as well as to
Republican principles, to desert an
administration which has administer
ed the law so wisely and well that
never in America have all business en-
terprlses so uniformly prospered and
our commercial classes been so free
from failures and bankruptcies.
The government having set the eX-
ample of the eight hour rule for its
work, private enterprises must neces-
sarily conform to it sooner or later
and the Republican party which has
emancipated the slaves will make iti its
farther mission to emancipate the Ia
borcrs from all unjust control of the
capitalists.
THE GROWTH OF OUR RAILWAYS.
One of the striking illustrations of
the growth of our country is the con-
stant increase ofour railway facilities |
The mails are now carried 1852
miles by railroad In 1850 there
were only 6000 miles in operation, in
1860 27,000 miles, 1870 $4,000 miles,
at present nearly $4,000. Upon these
railways the mails are annually car
ried distance of 10000, 900 of miles, /
and it will not he long before they
are carried the distance between the |
sun and to the earth, $4,000, 900 |
miles.

NO NEWS OF IMPORTANCE.

The absence of the President and
most of the Cabinet have caused a
lull in governmental affairs, and only
routine business is transacted. Tn
til after the nominations at Baltimore
the Presidential campaign cannot be
considered fully opened, and there
fore the notes of preparation are pro-
crossing slowly. Both committees,
however, are at work, and the Re
publican Central Committee is pre-
pairing number of very important
documents which will be of great con-
venienee to editors and public speak
ers.
1t becomes more evident from day
to day that the S,a,o~ of pannas-lxa-
MIA and Indiana will be considcrciV
the key of the political situation.
Both parties are concentrating their
efforts in these States, because ifthey
go for Grant in October his election is
certain should they be lost, while
his election is still probable, his chan

in the tobacco manufacturing busi-
ness published here this morning, is
something more than joke. The
earnestness of Mr.. Greeley who has
preached against the use of tobacco
all his life, not only in going into the
tobacco business, but the honest Hor-
ace of yOre joining Boss Tweed in
business in 1871, denouncing his old
time friends and taking to Free Trade
and States Rights. Democracy like
a duck takes to water, is severe
specimen of Greeley consistency, hon
esty and wisdom in the selection of
his aids.-Tweed still being one of
them at the head of the revived
