The thompson Tragedy.

CINCINNATI, June 1S.-The Thompson
Bond affair has attracted great attention to-
day. The particulars as gathered by the
enterprising reporters from the parties them
selves and from other sources, were dis
played fully in the papers provoking all
kinds Of comments The high posi-
ton of Mr.. Thompson in the
church aud society and Lis
excellent repdtationy the extraordinary
statements OF the assailant, Bond, and the
unenyiable position in which Mrs. Shirle-
decker finds herself placed by the murder
Gus assault and the charges preferred by
her crazed lover, consequently surround the
case with a singular interest. Bond was
brought into the Police Court to-day on a
charge of assault with intent to kill, but
in the present uncertain condition OF
his victim the case was postponed
and the prisoner, being unable to give five
thousand dollars bail, was committed to
jail TO await developments. The friends OF
Mr.. Thompson are to-day no less pro-
nounced in the opinion of his innocence OF
all criminal intent. His condition has been
rather comfortable. He has been sleeping
naturally, and his present condition is not
discOuraging, though his physicians are
quite reticent in relation to the exact ma
ture Of his injuries.

assurances that at least twenty-five per

state that decided majority Of the Repub-
licans Of this city are In favor of Greeley
and Brown, and in the event they are in
dorsed at Baltimore, Minnesota will give

The news from the mining regions of
Pennsylvania is very satisfactory. 1t is
thought by gentlemen well informed in that
section of the State, one-third of the Re-
publican vote will be for Mr.. Greeley, as he
is recognized IS the true friend of the labor

aPOLITTCIAN,s TRICK.

The Hon. Z. &. Butler, is playing The
most contemplate trick that the human
mind could conceive. He has gathered up
all the old Agricultural Reports of 1868,
and few of 1869, and has sent copy to
every cOloTed man whose name was sent
to him, under his Congressional ranking
privilege. This is so shallow that any one
can see that he intends to buy them up
with such cheap literature.
Those reports are only four years old.
Will intelligent and respectable eplused
men be duped by such contemplate trash ?
The object is too palpable, ask your
selves the one question. Would Judge
Butler send single intelligent white man,
public document fur years old? What
would De your SLswer? No, most assured

The Release of Santana Their I'm.
mediate object.
ST. LOUIS, June 18.-Judge Hubbel,
General Agent of the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad, has just returned from a bust
ness tour in Texas, bringing information
that before leaving Sherman, Texas, an
army officer arrived there from Fort Rich
mond, Jack county, and reported that a
body of Indians variously estim Ited at 5000
to 10000, made an ipcursion into Texas
and were overrunniDg Young, Jack, Dentsn
and Parker counties, and the settlers were
filed with CONSERVATION and alarm. The
Indians, it is said, were going TO Huntsville
to liberate Satanic and Big Tree, confined
in the States prison there.
1t is reported that all the Indians on the
Fort Sill reservation have left on the war
path. Already two fights have occurred
near Weatherford, in which four whites
were wounded, two Indians killed and two
captured. The latter were lodged in
Weatherford jail. The commanding officer
at fort Richardson is said to have gone to
Austin to consult with Gen. Anger regard
ing the invasion, and the latter is reported
to have telegraphed for two more cavalry
regiments to report Immediately at the
points threatened by the raiders.
Judge Hubbel says there is no doubt in
the minds of well informed Texans, that a
big Indian war is at hand. Many settlers
are leaving their homes. 1t is believed the
KiOwas are the leaders of the raid, assisted
by the Apaches and others. There was no
quorum at the Ockmulgee council up to
last Tuesday, and none Of the wild tribes
from Fort Sill had yet come to participate
in the deliberations.
The crops of Northern and Western
Texas are very fine. The Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas Railroad is finished and
trains are running to McAlister, one hun
bred and eight miles north of Sherman.
The grading and masonry are completed
thirty miles further. The gamblers and
desperadoes who followed and have given
so much trouble to the railroad men, have
been effectually driven away by the mill
tary.
