The St. Louis Democrat says that IN
the vast grazing districts of Texas, New
Mexico. and Colorado, there is a bitter
feud going on between the growers Of
sheep and tie growers of cattle. The
cattle men can not abide the sheep men,
and the sheep men are equally hostile

and herds get along quite comfortably
together. Il has been declared that
Western Texas and Colorado shall be

Only short time ago, two men, in

scattered for several miles around the

Letter from Ex-Jusge Merrill, Detail-
ing "Accursed Actions Of the
Metropolitan Police" in
Grant Parish.

New ORLEANS, November IA let
ter from Ex-Judge Charles ]. Merrill
dated Colfax, Grant parish, October
29th, saws: In haste and with feelings
of horror write to inform the public
Of the accursed actions Of the Metro
politan police sent here by Lieutenant
Governor Antoine, during the absence
Of Kellogg. On Saturday night lsst
the house Of one of the most respecta-
ble widow ladies on Red river, near this
place, was fired into, the doors
broken open, and the unfortu-
nate lady aad her daughter Of
seventeen summers were taken
cut, and, horrible to relate, violated,
Neither Of the ladies could be found till
late Sunday afternoon. An infant,
eighteen months Old, and grand-child OF
Ex-Governor Wells, was found cut in
the road some half mile from the house,
and near the spot where the foul deed
was perpetrated. The infant was the
niece Of the lady, and child Of MumfOrd
Wells, the oldest son of Ex-Governor
Mat. Wells. The negroes up here all
say that l. was the soldiers, and We all
believe IL they were not the perpetrators
they instigated the negroes to the hOrri
bic deed OF iniamy. II Is said here that
when Colonel Selkyne was informed
Of the outrage, ne smiled and
said his troops were up here for
a higher purpose than arresting men for
such petty offense. Antoine is believed
to have sent these creatures up here t.
give the negroes a chance Of revenge
and one told the writer that he had q
right now, under the protection Of the
United States, to shoot any white man
he wanted to shoot. and to violate any
woman he met. l said to him that
these were State troops, and not United
States troops. He replied that the
colonel had said At a negro ball the night
before that he wanted SIT the coloreo
people to come and see him; that now
they could do as they pleased, ss they
were under the protection Of his soldiers

The Vice President of the defunct Con
federacy, Alexander Ii. Stephens, has been
returned to Congress by the Democracy Of
Georgia, and made his first speech of the
season, on Thursday last in the House.
He took the very strongest ground in favor
of the back pay grab and the increased
compensation, and defended his position
with the argument that the Government
must pay as high as any one else for the ser
vices of intelligent and experienced men,
He assailed the newspapers for their harsh
comments upon those who voted for or
accepted the money in the last Congress,
and declared that he would have taken and
held it. He desired salaries to range from
$4,000 for Congressman to $1,000 for
the President, and urged the re-enactment
of the franking privilege, &c.

CONGRESS-.

Among the matters that will engross the
attention of Congress at the present ses-
sion will be the consideration of a conStitu-
tlonal amendment changing the method Of
electing the President and Vice President
a committee of the Senate has had the
subject in consideration during the recess.
This committee, of which Senator Nor
ton is chairman, are understood as having
agreed upon an amendment to the present
system, which will be submitted to the
Senate for consideration. 1t does away
with the Electoral Colleges by enabling
the voter to vote direct for the candidate
for President or Vice. President whom he
prefers. 1t also creates tribunal for the
division of disputes which may arise about
the legality of any portion of the election,
bill has been agreed to by the House
Special Committee on Salaries. reducing
the salaries of members to $1,000.
A bill has been passed by the House
removing all disabilities imposed and re-
naming on any person by the third section
of the sixteenth article of the Constitu-
ton, and substituting for the iron-clad
oath the modified one now administered.
A large number of bills have been intro
duced in Congress, among which were the
following: Concerning deposits in savings
banks; to provide for the transmission of
correspondence by telegraph; for the re-
sumption of specie payments and for free
banking.
In the House, the bill of Mr.. Dawes, of
Massachusetts,, for the redemption of the
loan of 1858, with an amendment to pay
in coin, was passed Discussion on the
sion.
The House Committee on Education
agreed to report G. F. Hoar's bill to dis
tribute the proceeds Of public land sales
among the States, for educational pur-
poses.
The Senate has been petitioned, asking
the regulation of the liquor traffic, and it
is the opinion of the Judiciary Committee
that Congress has no power to interfere
with the manufacture or sale of liquor out
side of the District of Columbia. Bills
were introduced to restore the free mail
circulation of newspapers. MIR. Hamilton
offered Constitutional Amendment pro
hibiting the Government from making any
thing else but silver or gold legal money.
Majority and Minority reports were sub
mitted by the Committee on Finance, the
first embedding a resolution authorizing the
committee to bring in at once measures to
equallze the national currency with gold,
and the latter simply looking towards a
return to specie payments. Monday next
was appointed for the consideration Of the
| reports. The House General Amnesty bill
was taken up, but Mr.. Summer blocked its
way with his usual objection to it unless
coupled with the Supplementary Civil
| Rights bill.
A resolution has been offered in the
House in favor of recognizing Cuban Bel
ligerency.
Mr.. Swami presented the memorial Of
the Baltimore Board of Trade in favor of
return to specie payments and protesting
against any further initiation of the cur
rency.

DThe following timely suggestions are
from The Republic, published at Washing
ton, D. G. We propose that the Maryland
Editorial Association, take up the matter
and give concert to the movement. Will
the Secretary and President of the Asso-
citation make the necessary appeal to Mary
land editors without delay? And Editor
ial Associations of other States should be
conferred with. The suggestion of the
Postmaster General that publishers be
compelled to prepay postage on all their
papers that go through the mails if en-
bodied into law, would be particularly
hard on country publishers, who are already
greatly overreached by the city weeklies,
which have every advantage in the way of
circulation. The local press is of consid-
cradle value to the country, but it is not
financially strong, and we do not think it
would be good policy to tax it out of exist
ence in the effort to make the Post-otfice
Department pay its way. Suppose the
mail department does not defray all the
expenses incident to it. 1t has the same
claim for support that education and free
schools have.
IMPORTANT TO THE LOCAL Press
Bills having been introduced in both
Houses of Congress for the repeal of the
act which prohibitedthe free carriage of
newspapers within county limits and of
exchanges, every publisher who favors the
relief proposed should print and circulate
petitions among the patrons of the local
press, and forward them, when signed, to
such members of Congress whom they
may know. If the editors of the local
press display reasonable diligence they can
have 1O, 1000 petions signed by 100, 900 names
on the tables of members by the end of the
holiday recess. Every party interested
ought also to write private letters to those
members of Congress with whom they
have personal relations. If any editors
choose to mail any of these petitions to
the publishers of The Republic, they will
take good care "to place them where they
will do the most good" Speedy action is
desirable.
