THE INDIAN WAR IN KANSAS.
Five Hen Scalped at Medicine
Lodge, and the Nail
Agent Shot Dead.

Leavenworth Times, June "a.
From private letters, kilograms,
and verbal reports received yester-
day, we are enabled to enlighten Our
readers as to the. present status Of
the Indian troubles in the southern
part of the State. 1t appearsthat the
red devils have daubed on the wal
paint in good earnest, and express
their determination to fight tooth
and nail for the determination of
the settlers and traders in the
region of their hunting grounds.
From Camp Supply comes by
telegraph the news of an attack
made on the stage when near Dodge
CITY, and the wounding Of the cor
poral in charge of the military es-
cort. Stock is being driven off by
the hundred head, and the settlers
and citizens are pOwerless to prevent
il, 1t is claimed that there are not
troops enough in the vicinity to pro-
tect the settlement, to say nothing
about keeping the maurauders from
stealing stock and slaughtering un-
protected settlers and traders. The
greatest excitement prevails at Sup
ply, and all those who can cOnsis-
tently do SO are leaving the country.
FROM MEDICINE LODGE
comes the report of a massacre more
horrible than any we have been
called upon to record. Billy Rob
erts, mail agent ON the Santa Fee
road, came in yesterday afternoon
and confirmed the report. He said
that on Monday the stage coming
i'm from the south was attacked near
Medicine Lodge by a band of prOwl-
ing savages, and six men, including
the mail agent, were shot and scalp
ed by the blood-thirsty Williams, The
massacre has created considerable
excitement in that vicinity, and the
inhabitants are forming themselves
into companies for their own de-
fencp, 60

POSTMASTER GENERAL Ores
WILLIS resignation will take the
whole country by surprise. No in
tfmation had heretofore been made
touching the retirement of this eff
cient Cabinet officer, and conse-
quently nobody had any reason to
anticipate 1t.
It appears, however, that General
Creswell had some time ago ten
dered his resignation to the Presi-
dent, witha view of devoting his
time to the readjustment of his pri-
vate afIAirs.
The President did not seem dis
poeed to relieve him, and conse-
quently the strictest secresy was
maintained touching this subject.
Il wfll be universally conceded that
General Cresswell administered the
intricate Affairs of the postal service
With marked ability and vlgor. He
inaueurated many important re-
lurms in the postal service, and had
almost succeeded i'm making the
PostofYice Department self-sustain-
ine. His views on the postal tele-
eraph were eminently sound, and II
..r,,ed out would have given the
people . cheap and reliable system
Of telegraphy.
All the people in the country are
directly interested in the proper
management of the postal service,
and It h to be hoped Nj. Cresweh,s
successor win be equal to the task
imposed upon him.

The patriotic citizens of Council
Bluffs contributed 81, $50 toward de-
fraying the incidental expenses for
the passage Of the Omaha bridge
bill. The whole Iowa delegation
in Congress exhausted their per-
suAsive eloquence and wire-pulling
capacity, and still the bridge bill
did not pass, ven through one
House of Congress. And now
the question arises what became of
that 81 500?

ACCORDING to the constitution of
the National Council of Industry of
the Cooperative Union of (sham)
Farmers and (sham) mechanics,
Omaha is to be the Presidential
headquarters of the National (?) or
ganization until the year 1875, and
Harrison johnson and E. G. Dud-
ley are to remain as chief managers
until 1877. That ought to eompen-
safe Omaha for the loss of Presi-
dental headquarters removed in
consequence Of George Francis
Trains abdication of the American
Dictatorship.

AND now the S~paniards propose
to confer the Consulship for five
years upon President Serrano. 1t
would be immaterial whether the
chief magistrate of d Republic was
known rs President, or as Consul,
were it not for the fact that Consul,
as interpreted in Spain, means
another name for Dictator. With
the historical facts of the first Con-
suiats in France before us, it would
not be difficult to conceive a pro-
longatiou of the Consulate for life,
and an ultimate transformation of
the Consul into a King.

1t is rather startling, is 1t not, to
hear that "the Prince of Wales was
married on the 18th of last month
to Lady Alice Hay, a daughter of
the late Earl Of Enroll, at the RO-
man Catholic Church in Spanish
place, London !" Such, however,
is til, fact. And yet the husband of
Alexandra, "sea kings daughter
from over the sea-" has not commit
ted bigamy. The "frince of Wales"
who has just welded q young Scott
ish lady of old cavalier and
Jacobite blood, Is the wrong "Prince
of Wales. He is commonly known
as "Colonel Count Charles Edward
d. Albany, the only son of Count
Charles Edward Stuart and of Anna,
daughter of the Right Hon. John
de la Poer Beresford, and niece of
the first Marquis Of Waterford"
When the right Prince Of Wales
last year went to the Vienna exhi-
ton lie had the pleasure Of seeing
this grea:-gand-nephew, or what
ever lie may be, Of the Pretenders
Of the last century figuring In q
Highland dress among the off,
cers of the Australian army.
1t israther doubtful after all whether
the "Count Charles Edward" Is so
nearly the direct representative of
the royal Stuarts as to deserve even
In that way the complimentary title
of the tsprince Of WaloSv
As q matter Of fact we believe the
direct heir Of the English crown in
the Stuart line to-day Is Francis ",
ex-Duke Of Modena, 'sby right d.
vine" Francis /. of Great Britain
and Ireland, King. But the Count
Is conceded to be a Stuart, and his
reappearanee In England to marry
Q Scottish ncblewoman Il at least .

The Vice Presidency.

The office of Vice President of the
United States is almost purely orn-
amental. The duty of presiding
over the Senate is a nominal one,
for a President pro tempOre is pro-
vided, and of late years he has been
i'm the chair oftener than the Vice
President. There is a tradition that
when the convention that formed
the Constitution was considering
the titles of dignity to be attached
to the high offices under the Gov
eminent, Benjamin Franklin sug-
gested that the Vice President
should be called "His Superfluous
Highness." The Milwaukee Senti-
mel has taken upon itself the business
of hunting up something for this
redundant official to do by way of
earning his $40, 600 per annum. BY
dint of industrious inquiry it has
discovered that the District of Co
lumbia is as much of an anomaly
as the Vice Presidency. The terri
torial form of government which
Congress imposed upon the District
some six years ago has proved to be
a failure, and q committee have
the subject Of a revised form
under consideration, with in
s~tructions to report at the begin
ming Of the next session, The Sen
tinel proposes that In the new scheme
the Vice. President shall be made
governor ex officio of the nations
ward. Surely such a position would
keep him busy enough. If we can
judge from the experiences of Gov
ernors Cooke and Shepherd there
would be very little of the time that
he would not be In hot watar and
utterly untitled to perform the other
part Of his duties in the Senate
Chamber. Still the problem of how
to unite the two functions, so as to
give the Vice-President something
to do without overburdening him,
may not be beyond solution in the
brains of the wise men of Congress.

SALINE COUNTY.
The Gown Of Riceville.
Correspondence OF TIE BEE-)
RICEvILLE, June, %.

EDITOR BEE:
Riceville is about eight miles from
Crete, and the same distance from
the county seat in Saline county,
in the valley of Turkey creek. The
location was selected for a mill cite
by John Bertwell, where he built a
good mill three-story, with two run
of burrs, and all the late improve
ments in machinery. The mill is
now leased by Messrs. James &
Richmond, who are experienced
millers, and have an excellent
patronage. They take great pleas
ure in giving satisfaction to their
customers. They have established
a good trade i'm the several towns
around, which they furnish with
-four and meal.
AS yet there Is nothing but the
mill, a school house, and a few
houses. The location is good for q
general merchandise store and q
blacksmith.
Riceville is O beautiful location,
and the country around is densely
populated with people well to do, as
that part of the country was about
the first settled in the county. The
valley is from one-half to n and q
half miles wide, with plenty OF
timber for a Nebraska stream, and a
growth of young ash timber, which
can not be excelled in the county.
The crops look well, especially the
corn, which Is In good condition,
Notwithstanding the severe and con-
tinued rains which have kept the
farmer back with their work. Small
grain looks well, and there will be
a good average crop. 49,,
Turkey creek is a stream which
affords sufficient water for mill ad-
vantages during the season round,
as it is fed mostly by springs, and Is
q valuable stream for stock.

THE Iowa Democracy disguised
as anti-monops, have just held their
State convention and nominated
their ticket. The platform adopted
by this body of reformers Is almost
as voluminous as the Iowa criminal
code. 1t starts out with quotations
from the Declaration of Independ-
ence and declares itself in favor of
life, liberty, and the pursuit OF
happiness to all men, regardless of
race, color OF nationality. This
does not, however include the right
of persons of African descent to
sleeping-car berths and seats at the
tables Of first-class hotels.
1t proceeds with a declaration in
favor of States rights and domestic
institution, and puts in a few licks
at President Grants usurpations
and the sins Of the Republican
party. The fourth plank on the
currency question Is substantially a
copy of the plank on currency in
the platform adopted by the Repub-
leans of Illinois. 1t favors q return
to specie payment at the earliest
practicable day, and the equal dis
tribution of currency among the
several States.
The fifth plank favors a tariff for
revenue only, while the sixth and
seventh are devoted to the declara-
ton that railroads should be e
strained from extortion and oppres-
sion by State and National legisla-
ton. The eighth and ninth planks
pronounce i'm favor of one term for
Presidents, and restrictions upon pa
tent monspolies. The tenth plank
is a very round about bid for the
German vote without a definite de-
claration on the subject of temper
ance legislation.
The last plank Is a buncombe in
vitation to the soldiers and sailors,
who are all promised a 100 acre
farm, if the Iowa reformers shall
succeed in electing the next Presi-
dent

poleons:
"Nothing is more unworthy of
the true American spirit than the
sympathy with Napoleonism, which
every now and then takes posses
SION of some of us. What is Napol-
eonism, but a form of violent, fierce,
selfish tyranny? What one thing
has resulted from it that in after
ages men will care to remember. A
few gilded names-only names
nOw-and no more. Austerlitz,
jena, Wagram-and what else ?
And these, what are these now
more than the echoes of a tavern
brawI? What country Is freer,
what people IRE happier, what de-
partment of science, art or human
achievement is further advanced
because of this system or of any
man who has illustrated it? What
especial virtue does it show to the
American mind? Was it the in
Vasion Of Mexico Or the threatened
invasion of the United states In the
interest of the Confederacy?

The colored people Of South Carolina have
laid the people Of their race in the whole
country under an obligation, by presenting to
the Congress Of the United States in the per-
son CT Hon. r. y. Elliott, All advocate and
representative man whose power and ability
rs debater, whose earnestness and perse-
verance are overwhelming refutations Of the
charge that the negro is naturally an inferior
human being. Mr.. Elliott's speech Oh Tues
day, in the House Of Representatives. places
bin in the very front rank of American ora
tors without distinction as to trace, color
or previous condition Of servitude - and 1t
can but be source of pride to our people, all
over the land, to know that the question OF
our complete freedom and eniranchsement
has never been SO ably presented to the
assembled wisdom of the nation III the House
of Representatives as is true of its presenta-
ton and augmentation by one Of our own
race in the grand effort of Mr.. Elliott. Mr..
Elliott can no longer he claimed by South
Carolina as her representative alone, he be-
longs to us all and is the pride Of as all. To
him are the thanks of our despised race due
for thoroughly replying, by calm, convincing
argument to the conceited assumptions of
superiority made by plantation overseers
who occupy seats in the House Of Represen-
tatives with nothing to commend them to
their constituents but their color. The
Washington Htpubiiran, a paper that holds
that theenegro should be satisfied with what
has siready been done to amelorate his con-
dition, says of Mr.. Elliott's great speech
that, mo more diYnitied. skillful and ex-
haustive tearing down of false theories raised
by caste alone ever was Witnessed in legisla-
tive halls" In behalf Of the colOred people
Of the nation, in the name Of the friends OF

cratic citizens called upon h.nt to express
their regard for him, and to elicit, if posi-
BILE, public expression Ct bis views
upon the condition OF affairs in Tie country.
His response is report ted ~ the Si;cly5u,ger
of Sunday, which says:
"Mr. Davis received his visitors with that
easy grace and high-brcd courtesy which
mark great man, and alter some desultory
conversation upon matters relating 10 the
condition of affairs in this county, (his old
home,) he expressing his interest in Us as
unabated, although nov residing in another
State the object Of the visit was explained
10 Kim. Mr.. Davis said that he fult exceed
ingly gratiiea at this tribute Of respect from
those among whom the greater portion OF his
life had been SPENT for whom he entertained
the warmest affection; that he should ever
remember it with pleasure and satisfaction.
but that, as to bis making any public ex-
preston of his views, he was satisfied that
in view Of his peculiar situation, it could be
of little benefit to our people or the princ;-
pies to which we were all devoted. and that
the OCCASION might be seized by those who
uiucieu nun US u tthE advantage OF any
thing he might say for the purpose Of using
it to our injury. This, lie said, had been his
resolution, when lie was, after tie late civil
war, relesed from Eris N, and on the rare oc-
casions when lie had ioit inrcet, t. ,leyiale
remit the result had ju..ied the wisdom of
this course. AS, for Instance, when he made
a few remarks Oh the occasion of the ne fling
OF the Southern Historical Society last SUM.
mer at the Gfeenbrier bite sulphur springs.
his utterances had been eagerly seized unnn
by the partisan press Of the North and West
and perverted to our injury. He remarked
that for himself personally he dill not regard
the cianor, bat depi~red the mischief to his
people,, lie added that many things that
might be said without notice BY other men
would not be overlooked in him. His Judy
Inent, therefore, forbade his acrcding to the
fiatterlng request. Mr.. Davis said that the
masses OF the people, in all sections OF this
country, were not Interested in the coryup-
ton that prevails = the Credit MobiIier. the
saiary-grab steal, &c.-and were always
IN favor OF an honest administration of the

might disregard the sentiment of the people
for while, with the expectation of either
deIylng that sentiment or deceiying the
people by their watch-cries and political pro-
grammes, the truth is mighty and viii in
evitably prevail; that the cry about the
degeneracy of the times was an old one, but
that the mass Of the people were sound.o
