Horace Greeley one year ago.

One year ago, Horace Greeley visited
the south Here is what he said in
the Tribune after his return i:
THE Republicans uniformly testify
that there was an organized and armed
conspiracy, whereby they, and especi-
ally the blacks. were deferred from vot
ing-that offering to vote would have
cost them their lives-that the demo-
Gratis we're determined to carry the
state for Seymour, and did carry it, by
systematic terrorism. against which the
poor and humble burst not contend. x
Now, the ku-klux
organization may be active in this locall-
ty and dormant in that-nooy seem
dead to-day-and be revived to morrow
but the ku-klux spirit still lives at
the south and is very formidable"
Here is what he said at Newport. on
the 21st of September {:
"There is liberty at the South, and
at the North prejudice and passion.
We must try to make the whole people
feel that the American name is dear to
us all, that even in our struggle we
were friends. We did not tear and
rend each other. We did not destroy
prisoners. do not mean to say that
some prisoners were unjustly treated,
but | really believe that the people of
both sides meant to treat them with hu-
manitv 80 far as thew could do so, and
where oruelties took place, they were
not understood to be approved by the
great body of the people, North and
South"
Upon which the Milwaukee Sentinel
Justly remarks
"Never did amendacious demagogue
make wickeder appeal. The declara-
ton that prejudice and passion prevail
at the north, while there is liberty at
the south, is the utterance of one polltl-
cally insane. The southern men who
were listening to him, must have felt
pity and scorn for him when he told
them that "we were friends in our
struggles" His allusion to prisoners,
in view of all he has written about
Andersonville and Libby, goes far to
prove what Henry j. Raymond once
said of him, that he sis as malignant
as Satan" No wonder that democrats
begin to suspect that Greeley's hatred
of them is such that he deliberately
sacrificed himself in order to betray
their party"

The Second Assembly District

The prospect for the success of the Re-
publican candidate for the Legislature
in the second district of this county !,
looms up. The nominee, Mr.. G. P.
Mead, of Waterloo, is proving a strong
candidate, and Notwithstanding the
district is democratic there is every
prospect of his election.
In regard to Mr.. Mead's fitness for
the office of Assemblyman, and the
many strong points in his favor we
take pleasure in extracting the follow
ing from the handsome home endorse
ment given him in the last number of
the Waterloo Journal:
He has been a resident Of Waterloo
upwards of twenty years, and held, the
office Of postmaster since the first in
auguration of President Lincoln. His
integrity, ability, business tact and
foresight have enabled HIM to win the
confidence and esteem of all with whom
he has come in contact, and to build
up prosperous business.
Mr.. Mead has held many Offices Of
trust, often thrust upon him without
his desire or wish. He has ever been
looked to by our citizens generally
when they needed help or counsel in
in am emergency. His Judgment has
been sought for in all cases wherein the
interests of our community or OF any
particular enterprise are at stake. One
of our most liberal public-spirited and
obliging citizens, ever ready to con-
tribute to any and every enterprise of
public.welfare, answering in principle,
unquestioned in integrity, with the
qualifications above mentioned, is he
not eminently capable and worthy of
being our representative in the next
Legislature 7 Possessed of pleasing
and engaging address, with a large and
favorable acquaintance among the prom
inent men Of the state, he will weld an
influence in the Chamber exceeded by
but few.

Indian Massacre.

The details of another sickening
Indian massacre reach us from the
Kansas Pacific Railway. A gentleman
who reached this city yesterday places
us in posse session of the fact. 1t APP
pears that several weeks ago two men
named Jordon, with the wife of one
and hired man, left Fort Wallace for
a buffalo hunt. They did not return
at the anticipated time, and tears were
entertained that they had met with
some disaster. Parties were sent out
to find them if possible, and after much
diligent search the body of the hired
man was discovered on the plains,
much mutilated. They continued the
search, and finally found the body
of one of the Jordons. Under his
head was discovered a woman's apron,
giving evidence that, after being woun-
ded, his wife had nursed him until
torn away. In the body of the man
were sticking seventeen Indian arrows,
and from their shape, it was the opin-
ion of those versed in Indian warfare
that they were made by the Pawnees
This was strengthened by the knowl-
edge that small band of Pawnees had
been roaming about that vicinity for
some time. Within short distance
of the above mentioned unfortunate
man was found the other Jordon, also
mutilated. They had with them when
they left Wallace four mules and five
horses. None of the animals were to
be found. Troops have been sent out
to scour the country. This sad and
hellish deed was committed about forty
five miles south of Monument, on the
Kansas Pacific Railway Its thought
that the woman was captured and il
now with the indians.

Few Assembly districts In this state

Few Assembly districts in this state
have more imporl ant interests to look
after than this, and it is now with the
people to say whether they will send
man to the Legislature next winter of
commanding influence who can protect
such interests, or man who couldac-
complish just nothing in that direction,
however much he might desire to do so.
We hope the voters of the district will
give to this subject that consideration
which it deserves. Cannot our district
redeem herself by sending Mr.. Mead
to the Assembly?

Our Candidates.

The candidates we advocated in
the late campaign are probably de
E, ated, except Gov. Brown, who
was our first and only choice for the
position he aspirnd to. Mr.. Gree
I,.y was not the man of our choice,
by any means, but he came before
tie country as the candidate Of the
o,uy organized opposition to radi
c.'lism. He came as the friend Of
reconciliation, as a compromise be
tween the opposing sections. We
accepted and supported him in
good faith as such, and would re
joice ut his election. We supported
Gen. Cheatham, not because he was
democrat, not because he was a
Confederate soldier or a General,
mr. even because he was the demo
cratic nominee; but because he was
the chosen or nominated candidate
as Mr.. Greeley was of the only or
ganized opposition to radicalism.
We were sincere and honest in our
advocacy of his claims, and will re
joice if through him the radicals
have been defeated.
