as VIC learn, upon the conduct OF the
election by the Conservatives and In-
dependent Republicans, and some pa
thetic references to the violated right
OF speech. Mr.. Bowen poured out the
bitterness of his soul in a short ha-
rangue. The board, yesterday morn.
ing, decided not to entertain the con
test, and dismissed the case.
The HoRRoRs. Mr.. Attorney Gene
raj Williams has remitted to the New
York Republic d horror
machine, which that paper grinds with
evident labor, thinking, no doubt,
with Mantilini. that it is "one demni-
tion grind" Its region for supplying
the raw material is much diminished; F.;
but it shows its ingenuity in such
stories from Alabama as the following:
''District Attorney Duskin has
struck terror into the minds Of every
white and colored Republican by con
senting to take small bail for the ap-
pearance of Bullock and Renfro, the
two leaders of the Ku LUX assassins
of Sumter County"
eat Falkland, in Green County, a
wooden platform has been built, to
whip every negro who votes the Re-
publican ticket"
'The negroes are holding meetings
In Montgomery, preparatory to gene
raj exodus from the State of Alabama. I"
The wonder is how any newspaper
could be brought to publish such liesl
The Republic is edited by educated
persons. True. it cannot be expected
to be sincere or truthful, being a Co
vernmens organ; yet. it ought to have
sense enough to avoid telling lies that
nobody could believe. The "horror
sheets" are greatly diminished, and
the Republic now is the only one left to
tell such lies as those we copy above.
The only Democratic loss go far re.
ported comes from quarter where it
was least expected. The first de.
spatohes stated that Kentucky had re-
turned an unbroken Democratic dele
cation to Congress. and as the State
had been doing that sort of thing for
some time past. the intelligence was
not at oil surprising. It now turns
out, however, that in the Ninth Dis
trict, White. Republican, has been
elected over Cockerill the Democratic
candidate, by at least 900 majority.
The YALE STUDENTS AMONG Tua
ANGRY RED MEN-The New York
1ribume's correspondent telegraphs
that on the 18th instnnt Professor
Marsh, Of Yale College. with his soien-
tiic expedition, were at Red Clouds
agency; that his expedition was op-
posed by Indians; that he held coun-
Gil with the chiefs, who did not be-
lieve he wanted to hunt bones in the
Black Hills, but was in search Of gold,
and the Indians showed great excite
ment, but the Professor, after ha-
rsngue by the chief, White Tail, made
short speech. which had the singular
effect OF modifying the Indians, and
gaining their full consent for the pro.
gress OF the expedition. provided it
vas accompanied by some Indians.
On the next day. the 18th, when the
party reached the agency where the
sioux scouts were to join them, O great
lumber OF fully armed Indians we're
there excited, and gathered around
their Chief. All tho Indians who were
to go with the Professor now refused

young men believed the party were
gold and not bone hunters. In the
midst OF the talk Chief "Pretty Crow"
rode up and shouted: "White men
going into our country to find gold.
We must stop them at once." Imme.
diately shrill CRY was made to the
women and children, who ran away,
and the line of mounted Indiana
formed in front and rear OF the sol,
diers aud wagons. A collision seemed
imminent, but Professor Marsh TUNED
