CiScIssAri was the scene Of colored
riot on Saturday night last. During a
procession Of colored Grant Guards ~
an old man hurrshed for Greeley-he WA,
struck with torch by one of the torch
bearers and then threw bowlder. From
this grew the riot in which several men
altogether innocent of the whole affair
we're beaten and injured by members o
the colored Guard" A confectioner,
store was demolished-the store being tn,
property Of Grant man, but which tn,
"0usrd " in their blind fury, did no. re-
gard--and several dsfenceless women NAL
treated in cruel manner. The affair Ia
aroused the just indignation OF the ci.i
sens Of Cincinnati. The commander O
the "Grant Guards {" had been srreste,
and ths mayor OF the city called on to 70
rsw proclamation against the carryIn,
Of any kind ofsrms in political procession,

Radical orators ofthis campaign. Wstrem-

in infancy--if An attack Of measles or

United states would never have enjoyed
the inestimable blessing Of the rule of the

THE ''quaker policy pursued toward
the Indians by the peace-loving radical
administration, is showing more OF its
fruits. Late news from responsible
sources give some meager but sufficiently
horrible details Of the manner in which
western settlers suffer a, the hands Of their
savage neighbors. TIE outrage and
murder of young girls, the capiur-
ing and killing Of United States officers
the deHbers,e discussion of the feasibility
of scsiping the peace commissioners and
Quaker Indian agents-these, which are
only few Of the barbsri,ies committed,
and proposed 10 be committed by the In
dians, show the absolute failure Of the
peace policy. The quaker agents them
selves. having tested the peace theory 10
their cost, are now calling for troops.
The lsies, reported outrage by the Apaches
is the murder Of Lieutenant Stewart Of
the Fifth United States cavalry, near
Tucson, Arizons, on the 9th of August.
The experiment Of Outstanding the In
dians by missionary means has been in
course Of trial for some years and a,
altogether too shor, intervals Of time its
utter uselessness and worse than useless
ness is cruelty demonstrated. A better
plan would be to conquer them with their
own weapons, and conver. them afterward
if there were any left TO convert.

SENATOR Schurz received cordial and
enthusiastic reception in Toledo, Ohio,
on Saturday last. The native citizens
were - equally pronounced in their dem
Onstrations Of welcome toward the distin.
guished speaker as the Germans. The
advice Of radicalism to Schurz to "go
home has not damped the effective ser.
vice which he is doing in the cause OF
Liberalism.

published documents of the same sort, the
people know that there are no political as

way, TO notice that the Nation. once lynx

their tickets at once. Delay for few days
caused many who wanted tickets at the Con-
cert in December last 10 90 without them.
Some living in Louisville waited until sales
were closed. expecting, no doubt, a post
ponement, and then offered fifteen. twenty,
and even twenty-five dollars, for tickets
which the day before were offered TO pur-
chasers at the regular price. Others living
at distance sent thousands Of dollars by
mail and express, which got here after sales
were closed, and had to be sent back

The charge that Gen. Grant was drum

ut Shiloh is officially denied by
his--st the time-chief of staff,
Gen. j. u. Webster. The denial
comes late in the day and will be received
with about rs much belief as 1t deserves.
Radicals generally do not care whether
Grant was drunk or sober at Shiloh, and
Liberals, neutrality-suspicious. and Lib
srai-Democrats, will not be greatly affected
BY this denial of Gen. Webster-which is a
political card not likely to prove trump

MIDDLEBURY, VI, Sept 9, 1872.
At last we have swung round to old
Middlebury again and with stylus in
hand have commenced this letter to the
readers Of THE BULLETIN, sitting by the
side of a bright, cheerful fire, while
driving northeast storm is pelting the
rain with merciless fury against the closed
windows. We are lsboring all over the
state under press of "heacy ,cet" it
having rained every week since the first of
June and every day during the past three
weeks. A great deal of grass is still un-
cut, grain Is spelling in the fields and the
rot has appeared among the potatoes, all
on account of the continued wet weather
Our "County Fair" which was to have
taken place this week, has been postponed
on account Of the weather till the last of
the month, and our annual Camp Meeting
which continues through an entire week
and is held in beautiful grove owned by
the Methodists, q few miles from the viii
lage, has been twice postponed on account
of the weather. 1t seems hardly credible
that 1t should be SO hot and dry in Cairo
and so cool and wet here. Although an
open letter before US from venerable and
generated druggist on the levee in your
city, assures US that the weather in Cairo
during the summer "has been cool and
comfortable with frequent showers.
