Riot In Indiana.

A despatch dated April 18th from In
dianapolis says GA serious riot is in pro-
gress at Knightstown, Indiana, between
the strikers at the coal mines and furnaces
and the colored miners lately imported
from Virginia. The whole town is ap-
parently now engaged in general melee,
originating with negro and a striker,
soon spread. The negroes are now at their
boarding house, well armed and well guard
ed by local police. A crowd is surrounding
it, throwing stones and other missiles. A
company of colored miners from Brazil and
vicinity came to aid the negroes, and many
shots were fired during the melee. Gov
ernor Hendricks has been appealed to for
troops, and it is expected that the Emmett
Guards and body of police from this city
will leave for Knightstown at 2 A. NJ, and
arrive there at about 5 A. M. The indi-
cations now are that there will be bloody
work before the troops arrive One of the
guard over the negroes has been injured,
it is not known how seriously The town
is full of rumors. The women are the
most furious and are leading the rioters.

A Cool Omcer.

1t is not much to smoke cigar, but like
other little things when done at the right
time it may amount to good deal. Itwas
the way in which the captain of the Elm
City smoked his Havana that prevented
disastrous panic when the steamer ran
upon rock at Throggs Neck, the other
morning. AT the shock the passengers,
with the fate of the Atlantic in their minds,
were just going into panic, when the
captain comprehending the situation, had
the presence of mind to take newspaper
in his hand, thrust cigar in his mouth,
and walk leisurely through the cabin, as
suring the passengers rather by his manner
than his words that there was no danger,
and thus prevented a fearful scene.-AA

Bloody Work In Louisiana.

In Grant Parish, La, there is conflict
between the white and colored races that
has eliminated in bloodshed. The fight
took place at Colfax, and passengers who
came down on the train since that time
give the following account.
The negroes had strongly entrenched
themselves in the courthouse aud built
breastworks three or four feet high. There
were, it is said, about four hundred men
armed and equipped thoroughly.
On Sunday about noon, some 100 men
who had gathered from the surrounding
parishes made an attack on the breast
works, and brisk fight was kept up till
about p M, when the works were
stormed and captured, the negroes taking
refuge in the courthouse, the doors of
which were barricaded. After some fur
ther fighting the negroes threw out flag
of truce, and several detachments of men
advanced on it, when they were fired on by
the beseiged party, wounding several,
among whom was Captain Hadnot, who
was shot in the bowels, and it is feared
fatally wounded. The whites retreated
outside of the breastworks, and as the only
means of dislodging the negroes the court
house was set on fire, and the blacks were
shot as they came from the burning build
ing. 1t is reported that nearly 100 negroes
were killed, and there were none to be
found for miles around.
The whole trouble originated in conse-
quence of political difference, both parties
claiming to be legally elected. The U. S.
Government will probably have to step in
and settle the matter.

Report of the Central No-License Commit

The above Committee make the following
report to those citizens of Perry County, for
whom they were appointed to act blythe Bloom
field Convention:
The result of the election it is now unneces-
sary to state. The Committee only desire to
say concerning it., that they performed their
duties with proper economy. The pamphlet
prepared and published by the Newport Sub
Committee will be mainly paid for at Newport.
The only other expenses were carriage hire to
enc of the meetings, printing tickets and post
age of same and of circular, and publishing OF
this report. A surplus over all the expenses Is
still held by the Committee, and If not other
wise ordered at meeting of delegates in May,
il will be applied to any Court expenses for
necessary prosecutions, If such should arise, as
may be necessary even before the May Court,
and that not with reference to houses licensed
at May Court of last year. For this purpose,
the Central Committee will still act and work,
and expects the township and borough com
mittees to act and work until the general meet
ing during the May Court, communicating
when necessary, with the Central Committee.
If for no other purpose, such information VIII
enable the Central Committee to know where
constables do not report according to law. The
Committee have legal advice for saying that
by the law there Is no need OF notice OF stop
page to be given toselleIs, other than the usual
notice of other laws, viz publication which
has been already given and on infringement OF
law, an Indictment against Hotels or hestau-
rants selling anything which intoxicates, in yio-
lation of law, or druggists deviating from
the strict letter Of the law regulating their
special licenses.
Each township and borough committee is re-
quested TO see to the enforcement of the law In
its own locality, and it Is requested Of all good
citizens that without fear or favor, they will
lend their aid TO the enforcement of what is
now the law of the county. Any township or
borough suffering from the continued violation
of the law, has only itself to blame, for with
proper effort, the law can be easily vlndlcated,
and the fines and penalties of Imprisonment,
provided for by the State law Con which the
offender is thrown) are sufficient to carry out
this law, If acted upon. For devising the ne
cessary meaLs for the continued enforcement
of the law, the subcommittee of each town
ship will report IN person, on TUESDAY, OF
May Court, to the Chairman of the Central
Committee, who will inform them Of the place
of meeting on the evening Of that day, and any
absent, will send reliable substitutes with
written credentials. AS well said In the call of
the Cumberland County Committee for like
work, 4" our friends in defeated counties look
for our aid in their own future efforts, by our
showing the good results of the law well en-

Gen. Candy Assassinated.
J. A. MAeEE, Secretary.
April %, 1878.

On the 1th inst, General Candy who is
fighting the Indians, was basely muir
dered. The following letter dated on the
18th inst, gives full account of the meet
ing with the Indians and its results
"For several days past there have been
cndeavors made by the peace commission
ers and General Candy to obtain an inter-
view with Captain Jack and the leading
chiefs of the Modoc band. The prospects
been sent from Washington to the peace
commissioners to give the Indians, if ne
cessary, reservation in this neighborhood.
Yesterday evening Bogus Charley came in,
and said that Captain Jack, Schonchin and
three or four others would meet the peace
commissioners ON spot near the lake, about
three-quarters of mile from camp. Bo-
gus Charley staid in our camp all night,
and in the morning Boston Charley also
came, and said that everything was all
right, as Captain Jack was coming to meet
the commissioners.
Between ten and eleven o'clock this
morning the peace commission party-com-
Iuising Gen. Candy, A. r. Meacham, DR..
Thomas Mr.. Dyer Riddle the interpreter,
his squaw, and Bogus and Boston Charley
went out to the designated spot. There
they met Capt. Jack, John Schonchin,
Black Jim, Setback Nasty Jim, Ellen's Man,
and Hooker Jim. They had no guns with
them, but each carried pistol at his belt.
This, however, was not much noticed, as in
previous interviews they had their guns
with them. All sat down in kind of
broken circle, Gen. Candy, Mr.. Meacham,
and DIR. Thomas together, faced by Capt.
Jack and SchonchiD. Mr.. Dyer stood by
Jack, holding his horse, with Hooker Jim
and Setback Nasty Jim to his left.
Mr.. Meacham opened the talk and gave
long history of what they wanted to do
for them, after which General Candy and
DR.. Thomas both talked for some time.-
Captain Jack then talked in an apparently
serious strain, ard when he finished step
ped back to the rear near where Meachams S
nOISO WdS uliShcu. JOhh hChohchlh Iuch
began TO talk, and while he was speaking,
Mr.. Dyer heard a cap miss fire, and looking
around, saw Captain Jack to his left, with
his pistol pointed at Gen. Candy. This was
the signal for a general massacre, and a
dozen shots were fired within half min
ute.
Mr.. Dyer afer hearing the cap miss fire,
turned and was followed closely by Hooker
Jim, who fired two shots after him. Dyer
finding Jim was gaining on him, turned
and drew his deninger, whereupon Hooker
rctreated and Dyer made his way to the
camp. Capt Jack fired again ON General
Candy, and the noble old man was speedily
shot down and killed instantly. Mr.. Meach-
am was shot at by Schonchin and wounded
in the head. He tried to draw his derring-
er, when two Indians ran up and knocked
him down. DR.. Thomas was killed almost
instantly by two pistol shots in the head
Riddle ran off, and it appears they did moi
fire at him, but knocked his squaw down
Dyer, Riddle and the squaw returned il
safety to the camp"

After Some Sugar.

Some innocent young ladies at Port Cres-
cent, Michigan, wanted some maple sugar
a few days ago,so they equipped themselves
with meat axe and tin pan and went out
behind the house to tap some trees. While
one hacked and lacerated the trees in a
frightful manner, the other stood with pan
in hand, ready to catch the sap as it flew
but, after tapping pine several ash and
three or four oak saplins, they concluded it
was poor time for sap.
