The Baltimore Epeniua .lournaz.

radical Democratic paper, notifies
Mr.. Montgomery Blair, and all of his
way of thinking, that their plan for
defeating President Grants re-elcc
ton won't work in Maryland. Mr..
Blair 10 engaged in the laudable effort
to induce the Democratic party to
abstain from making a nomination
for the Presidency and support for
that Office any eorehead Republican
whom the faction in that party, op.
posed to Grant, may bring out. The
journal says land it will be sustained
by the genuine Democratic press
everywhere) "Wo do not hesitate
to say that if MI. Blair's policy is
pursued, sven the State of Maryland
is not safe for the Democracy. We
must fight out the battle under the ban
ner of free trade and the restored rights
of the States. We have no idea that
the National Democracy will listen
to the suicidal advice Of the Blairs
and their co-thinkers, and, we might
justly add, oo-workers for the disolu-
ton of the Democratic party" That's
exactly it. The Democratic party
must fight the battle "under the BAN
ner of free trade and the restored
rights of the States" if it would
fight under it's true colors and not
under a piratical flag. 1t must do it,
or acknowledge that it is dead and
buried, without hope of resurrection.
KLEpTOMANIA.-A curious a 8 of
kleptomania has come to light in
Mass. A burglar, after
breaking into a house, was captured
shot and carried to the lookup. AL
though his wound was slight, it was
agreed that the surgeon should tell
him he would not live more than an
honr, in order to draw a confession
from him. The burglar, after enact
ing q solemn promise from his cap.
tors that all the money in his
possession should be handed over to
his wife, confessed that he was the
of many bnrglaries that had
been committed in that region, and
that he had secreted in Ash Grove
church, in Albany, under the pulpit,
two tin boxes filed with gold and
silver ware, and in his room on Arch
in that city, several hundred
dollars in bank notes around the
.wainscoting OF the windows, and in
other places; also, that his real name
was Carrel Sanborn, and that ho
worked for . Mr.. M'Donald in Alba
ny. He then handed over eighteen
hundred dollars in greenbacks, say
ng that according to the agreoment
hat sum, with eight hundred dollars
q savings bank in Albany, and
'ome four hundred dollars secreted
n his room should be given to his
vife. He bad not robbed for money,
said but for the pleasure of it; it
vas q mania which came over him
It times, and which he could not
bake off until he broke into some
,lace. The dark lantern found in
lis possession il a marvel of perfec-
ion, and was made by himself. San
'orn's wife who resides in Bristol, N.
l., was shocked when shs heard of
is arrest, al she supposed that he
7as at work in Albany. All the
honey and property was found con-
called in the places indicated.

Later-Fislk Dead.

NEW IORk, Jan. q.
In conversation with a reporter
yesterday Stokes said, "You need
have no fears for me. / am no MUIR
derer | assure you, there is tale yet
untold" When informed OF Fisk's
death ho said, "Well It's q sad loss to
the business community, but the pa
pers should not PREJUDICE me by call
ing me q murderer. l mover wished
Fisk any personal harm, never dream
cd of offering him any. l should say
moreb but my counsel have closed my
lips" He denied the statement that
he followed Fisk's carriage down
Broadway. In reply to a question
IS to whether he had any fears Of the
result as regarded himself, Stokes
taking q wallet from his pocket and
holding it up, said ado you see that
wallet well as sure az you see il just
as sure will be acquitted by any
jury that can be empannelled." The
Coroner's jury will meet at Fisk's
late residence. It includes Marshal
O'Roberts, Geo. Opdyke, Henry
Clews, David DAVIS, and other prom
inent citizens. The examining ply
sicians state that Fisk's brain weigh
ed So ounces. The man who was
with Stokes in the coupe and the
driver have been arrested.

The new daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1872-1873, 1872-10-07

IN few terse and forcible words the
New York Times shows the difference
between the two candidates for the Gov
ernorship of New York, thus: "Gen. Dix
has accepted the Republican nomination
for Governor, and now if we do not think
there is any ''if'' in the case, but let US
act as if there were one, and work with
out ceasing for the only cause which
deserves to win The difference between
the two candidates for Governor is suffici-
emily sharply defined. Gen. Dix is famous
for his attachment to the Union cause
throughout the war. Francis Herman dis
tinguished himself by opposing that cause
Gen. Dix would certainly not try to des-
troy our public shool system-whereas
that would be one of Kernan's first OBJ
jects. Herman did his best to encourage
the rebellion. Gen. Dix did his best to
suppress it. The people can choose
which they please. We venture to antici-
pate that they will choose Gen. Dix.

HANDSOME VICTORY OVER
THE APACHES.

A dispatch that has been received at
Los Angeles repeats the following from
the Arizoua Miner of the 26th ult:
Colonel Mason and his command sur
prised four camps of hostile Apache and
Mohave Indians and killed forty and cap
tured ten women and children. Some
ten days since friendly Wallupi Indians
arrived at Camp Beale Springs from a
run into the Apache and Mohave country
and informed Captain Thomas Byrne,
commander of this post, that Anahece,
Hakara, Ocho and Calma, with a large
and imposing force of Indians were camp
ed between two mountain ranges near
Santa Maria river. The chiefs and In
dians are very mad, and talked of going
to the Colorado river to fight the Mohave
Indians for the part Chief Irataba and
others of the tribe had taken in ferreting
out the murderers of Loring, Hamel and
others. Learning of this by letter from
Captain Byrne, General Crook started
for Camp Hualapai on Saturday last.
Early on Sunday morning last companies
X, B and C of the Fifth Cavalry, Cap
tains Mason, Montgomery and Adams,
with force of between 80 and 100 friend
ly Wallapi Indians, started under COM
mand of Mason, who gives report: Gen
eral, have the honor to inform you that
my command struck the Apache and Mo-
have Indians at daylight this morning,
after a laborious march of eight miles on
foot over a country literally cut up with
deep canyons. Our surprise was a COM
plete success, having attacked four ranch
erias simultaneously, killing forty In
dians and wounding many more; also
eight women and ten children
The rancheriaS We're on the brow of q
deep canyon. To surround them was i'm
possible, thus allowing some to escape
who otherwise would not. The officers
and men behaved splendidly. cannot
speak too highly of our Wallapi scouts.
Their scouting was excellent and when
the fight came off they were not behind
the soldiers. I congratulate the COM
General and the country in hav-
ing secured SO valuable an auxiliary.
They are fully committed now. Guide |

NARROW GAUGE RAILROAD To ToWsoN
TowN.-An adjourned meeting of persons in.
terested in the building of "A narrow gauge
railroad from Baltimore to Towsontown, was
held in Baltimore city on Thursday of last
week. a committee appointed at previous
meeting reported the cost of such road com.
plete for business at $12S,000, exclusive OF
the land estimates. A company was organi.
Zed, the capital stock of which is to consist
OF 5000 shares, at $50 per share-the COM
pany to be named the Baltimore County
Railroad Company, and the necessary steps
were directed to be taken to procure a char
ter.
The project is also mooted of continuing
the proposed narrow gauge road through
Baltimore and Hartford counties to Peach
Bottom. OF this latter project the Lancas-
ter hate12igenr says:
The fact that almost enough stock has
been subscribed to insure the construction OF
narrow gauge railway from Lancaster to
Quarryvillc, only short distance from Peach
Bottom, lends additional interest 70 the
project mooted in Baltimore A road via
Peach Bottom would furnish the most direct
communication between Lancaster and Bal
timore, and would enure to the benefit of
both cities We hope to see such road
speedily constructed. 1t would unouestion-
