We are glad to see that quite num-
Der Of Democratic papers are urging
the nomination Of Hon. N. c. Kerr for
Governor. He has been our choice from
the first.
We understand that Mr.. Kerr 10 not
an aspirant for any position. His pri.
vate affairs need his attention., and just
ice to himself and his family demands
that they should be put in better shape,
and his wasted fortune, never very large,
recuperated. But he will not refuse to
serve in any position in which he may
be placed, If the people call him.
Mr.. Kerr is one Of the foremost men
Of the country. Everywhere he il rec
ognized ~ one Of the ablest champions
of the people. His honesty, his devo.
ton to principle, his aims which tend
only to the good of the country, hal
given the people confidence in him, and
they will yet see that he shall be reward
cd for the labor he has done, and thu
sacrifices he has made, in the last eight
ycars.-(Seymour Democrat.

Hon. II. c. KERR While It Is true
that no one man has any right to mon
opoly in Office, 1t is equally true that
Offices were not created for individual
benefit, but to carry out plan Of gov
eminent tor the good of the people,
The peoples interests are therefore the
candidates and officers. If it SO happens
that the interest of the governed re-
quires that an incumbent shall continue
in Office. individual rights ought always
to yield. The Second Congressional
District since it has been given out that
Kerr will not be Q candidate, is in a
middle and half q dozen second rate
politicians are "battlew hanging" every
Democratic meeting in that district for
the nomination.
Kerr has been forced off the track by
pressure from the present aspirants for
. place that none Of them can fill as we'll
% he. For untiring energy, ceaseless
devotion to the public interests. no man
in Congress ranks higher than Kerr.
Ever since he entered Congress he has
been in the minority struggling for the
success Of Democratic principles against
IN overpowering domineering Radical
ism. Now when the enemy Is just be-
ginning to yield under the assaults and
exposures Of such tireless heroes as Kerr,
this great champion Of the people is to
be Withdrawn, and merely to CRAFTY a
few gentlemen who want to go to Con-
gress. We are sorry to see tine Demo-
cratic power At Washington weakened
1T this time.
We say this much. although personally
Kerr is no friend of ours, even when we
were in his district, but in all truth We
believe that the second district will not
in fifty years have another such Repre-
sentative in Congress. If Kerr is thus
foolishly forced out Of the House, the
Democracy of Indiana, more grateful
than his own district, ought to make
him United States Senator, and If they
have the power we believe they will.

The application of Mr.. ABB. Wilson

issued Sewing Machine patent, is at

circles at Washington. 1T Is said, if no

Theses facts are from the Washington

Guiding paragraph: "The price Of good
sswing machines will be likely to be
down to twenty or twenty-five dollars

days for these are nearly over"

Der conversed with our reporter with
out the least difidence, and answered
any question asked Of her. She says
that so far as the romance of Indian
life is concerned, she found none Of it.
Her efforts to teach and reform the
young Indian children were treated
with Indifference and contempt. She
learned the Sioux language easily, but
the Cheyenne dialect was harder to ac-
quire. She has much higher opinion
of the Cheyennes ttan of the Sioux.

murder or execution of white men, one
a soldier belonging to the Thirty-se-
cond U. S. Infantry, who had been
taken while out hunting, who was
burned and scalped; the others were
two transfers brought from Fort
Mcpherson. All three were burned at
a place called Sadd!er's HILL, in the
Nebraska Bad Lands.
Miss Barber has a poor opinion of
Grants Quaker policy, which she says
is pelfectfarce, and is so regarded by
The Indians. She asserts that there
will be no peace while white men in
trude into the buffalo range, or tempt
the cupidity of the Indians by bring
ing stock and valuables out into ex-
posed frontier settlements. The In
dams have the greatest contempt for
the white mems judgment and the eff
cacy of the soldiers.
Miss Barber left the steamer Fontc-
nellie at this point, and after a few
hours rest started on her way to the
home of her friends, at Milford, Massa-
chusetts.

famous Ku-Klux law (Kcllogg's) is Il

Utica Bee: so
'Before the war was u well do

slaves, which constituted my wealth.
The events Of the war reduced mo
nearly to poverty. At its close I
gathered together the fragments of my
ruined estate, hired a few of my former
slaves and commenced life anew. All
went well with me until month or
six weeks ago, when / was suspected
Of being Ku-Klnx, arrested by u
United States Marshal, given q liasty
trial, found guilty, sentenced, and two
weeks ago was brought from Washing

years"
The editor Of the Bee adds: "Tho
man vowed upon his honor, and rs l,e
prayed that it might be his death bed,
that ho was as innocent of the crime
charged against him as l was myself.
He knew nothing whatever of the Ku-
