THE capture of Nena Sahib, which the
latest dispatches seem to put beyond doubt,
revives the recollection of the horrible cruel
ties practiced by this chieftain in the Sepoy
rebellion in India. Nena at the outbreak of
the revolt was living in the neighborhood OF
Cawnpore cultivating English manners, and
protesting profound attachment for English
residents, insomuch that when the rebellion
came the English inhabitants of Cawnpore
threw themselves upon him for protection.
He soon, however, placed himself at the head
of the mutineers of his district and massacred
all who fell into his hands, and then laid
siege to Cawnpore. When that city fell
Nena allowed the fugitives to embark upon
the Ganges, but as soon as their vessel got
under way opened fire upon them. They
were then brought ashore-three or four hun
dred OF them-and the men Immediately
butchered. The women and children, how
ever, were kept alive for eighteen days, but
when Havelock was marching to their rescue
they were put to death with horrible in
dignities and their bodies thrown into.a well.
Since the suppression of the rebellion Nena
has been hiding from the English. Now that
he is captured the English will not be slow in
wreaking upon them the vengeance which
his horrible cruelties deserve.

The Proctor-Moulton Suit.


New YORK, Oct. 24.-Ex-Judge Fullerton
counsel for Francis D. Moulton in the suit
brought against him by Miss Edna Dean Proc
tor, has asked the latters counsel for the fourth
extension of time for filing his answer which
by the limitation of time must be served Mon
day. A draft of the answer has been prepared
but it is to be submitted to B. f. Butler, who
will assist in the trial of the case. The answer
in the main is general denial, but a special
plea is set up asserting the truth of Moulton's
statements. Fullerton has also been engaged
to assist in the defence of Tilton.
The Beecher.TiIton Case.
There was long argument to-day before
Judge Nelson, in Brooklyn city court upon the
motion of the counsel of Rev. Henry Ward

them a bill Of the particulars in the suit
against Beecher.
The counsel received an affidavit from Beech
er, setting forth that the plaintiff specifies but
one date, on which any act of improper con-
duct, on his part, is alleged to have occurred
Tilton AYERS that Mrs. Tilton and Beecher
confessed their guilt at different times.
This Beecher positively denies, and charac-
terizes it as utterly false and fears that Tilton
contemplates manufactured evidence at the
coming trial, and therefore requires to know
what testimony he may expect to refute. AT.
ter some controversy the court took the papers.

ley's officers, who is wanted at the trial for the

Treatment of Criminals.
A meeting at Fanueil Hall to discuss the
treatment of criminals was held tonight
Wendell Phillips was the principal speaker.
He said the three great problems civilization is
called upon to consider are poverty, disease and
crime; and the fact that three -fourths of the
disease and more than one-half the crime are
among the poorer classes shows how closely con
nected the three problems are. The man who
has once committed crime IS never believed
again, and when he is consequently driven to
crime once more he is cot to blame. but the
church and state that have never held out
their hands to help HIM. There is not city in
the land, but to great extent is governed by
its criminal classes. Boston can't choose a
mayor till 1t has consulted the frequenterS OF
the grog shops.
At the close of Mr.. Phillips remarks, Rev.
Wm. Bradley was introduced and read a series
of resolutions setting forth the doctrine that
prisons should be reformatory institutions and
officers should be humane and earnest in their
efforts to save criminals.

pair of overalls, knit jacket, dark lantern
and mask were found. Three suspicious look
ing men with packs were seen at South Fitch
burg yesterday.
The trace Of the Milford bank robbers is
genuine Four men drove through the town
on Tuesday morning. The envelopes found
bear the names of the principal depositors of
the bank and the date of deposit.

THE London Times, hitherto famous for
its want of enterprise in collecting news, has
taken new turn of late, and has thrown all
its English contemporaries far into the back
ground. Indeed it will now take rank, in the
matter OF news gathering, with leading Amer
ican papers. 1t has obtained the use of
special wire from Paris, paying therefor
$4,000 year, and has entered upon vast
scheme for obtaining telegraphic news of an
important and special character from all the
capitals of Europe. With its vast resources
and large corps of correspondents it ought
to, and now probably will, lead all newspa-
perdom in the matter of news.

SOUTHERN DISORDERS.
No Trouble in Alabama.

NEW York, Oct 24.-An Alabama cores
pondent of the Times, who is vOuched for edi-
torially as strong Republican, says he finds
no reign of terror in Alabama, no "war of
in that state have been instigated by political
motives. He finds the alleged murderers of Mr..
Billings to be men totally unlike the blood
thirsty ruffians they had been painted, and he
appears to think that the so-called evidence
against them is ridculously inadequate.
One negro at work with others in a field,
when asked for information about the recent
outrages and Ku-Klux, said, 81 don't know
muffin bout RACES, an l amt seed no Ku-
Kluxes. The pork amt noways so fat as it
used to be. That's the only trouble wild this
ere niger" At this the others in the field
exclaimed, 'dat's SO; dats what's the matter"
and went On with their work apparently as
happy as people could be.
Arrest of shreveport Rebels.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct 25-The following is
the text of the affidavit upon which citizens of
Shreveport were arrested:
United States of america, District of Louisiana:
Personally came and appeared before me the
the 7th United States Cavalry, who, being by
me first duly sworn, did depose and say that on
or about the 10th day of October, 1874, and in
the city of Shreveport, in the District afore-
said (here follows the names of ninety citizens)
did each and every one of them conspire to in
in said District in exercising the right of suf-
frage by threatening to depriAe said voters of
employment by threatening to refuse to renew
the contracts with said voters for labor, in vio-
lation of statute of the United States. where
fore he prays that said parties be arrested and
dealt with according to law.
(Signed,) LEWIS MERRILL.
Sworn and subscribed to before me on the 22d
day of October, 1874. A. B. LEv1ssE,
U. S. Com'r for District of Louisiana.
Capt. w. T.. Scovile of the steamer Bryarly,
which arrived last night from Shreveport, States
that on the way up he engaged full cargo of
cotton for the return trip at points below
Shreveport, but in the meantime the cavalry
having appeared accompanied by U. S. Mar
shals, who were reported to have writs for the
arrest of several hundred citizens of the parish
bordering on Red river, a panic seized the
whites, who indiscriminately took to the woods
and the negroes stopped work. The conse-
quence was that out of the full cargo engaged
the Bryarly got but 25 bales there being no one
to haul cotton to the landing.
Capt. Scoyill states that cotton picking has
been almost entirely suspended on many plan
tations, which will cause heavy losses to both
planters and merchants

Current Notes.

A new Gamaliel has arisen. The World
informs the New York Post that it can learn
decency and honesty by sitting at the feet of
John Morrissey.
Gen. Butler 'looks forward to that time
when the public conscience shall be informed
and the public taste purified" What will be-
come of him then?-N Y. Mail.
The debut of Mile. Albani as Amina in
Bellini's opera ''La So anambula" has evoked
high praise from the New York journals. She
greatly pleased her public and received the
unusual-in America-compliment of five
recalls after the fall of the curtain. She has
clearly made place among the great prime
donne whom this country delights to honor.
The Nation finds in the third term talk a
curious belief On the part of many "that any
man nominated for the Presidency by party
which has control of the offices would have
to be elected whether the votes pleased or
not" belief which the Nation considers as,
of course, without foundation, but as mis-
chievous sin community which has as large
capacity for resignation as this has,"
The woman suffrage advocates in Califor-
MIA have succeeded in securing the passage of
acts allowing married woman to make
contract for her own estate, making women
eligible for all appointments under the School
law for which they are not disqualified by the
constitution, and making it compulsory on
school boards to pay female teachers equal
salaries with male teachers for similar work.
These measures, they now say, are only the
forerunners of the real question.
A significant episode, growing out Of the
recent Democratic victories in Ohio and Indi-
ana, is related by the Graphic. A German
banker, large holder of United States bonds,
alarmed at the success of the doctrine of re-
pudiation in two great states of the Union,
has thrown his investments on the market
and asserts that many ofhis countrymen
will do the same thing. The shrewd Ger
mans have already suffered from the repudi-
alton of American state and railroad bonds,
and do not propose to be caught again.

Third Assistant Postmaster Gen. Barker, who
has given the subject much attention, expresses
the belief that the government is annually de-
frauded out of million dollars, or per cent of
the amount of stamps sold by the use of washed
postal stamps.
Texas Matters Again.
Secretary Bristow telegraphed today to ex-
Gov Pease of Texas rendering him the office
of Collector at Galveston.
The Postmaster General has telegraphed to
Mr.. Sabens at Galveston, proffering him the
postmastership at that place.
Secretary Bristow will have a consultation
with Commissioner Douglass on Monday, with
reference to contemplated changes in the inter-
nal revenue service in Texas.
Both the Post Office and Treasury DEPART
merts have had special agents for some time in
that state investigating the condition of affairs
as administered by the officers. These agents
have also, in compliance with instructions, sent
lists of prominent citizens who would in their
judgment, properly serve the government intev-
ests and make suitable officers, and it is from
these lists that future appointments will be
made.
Ex-Gov Pease has not been regarded as a
political supporter of this administration hay-
ing voted for Greeley at last Presidential cleo
tion, but this fact Secretary Bristow declares is
in no way cause for disfavor, as his views re.
garding political matters arose from the manner
IN which government affairs were administered
in his state.
The Stamped Envelope Contracts.
Great credit is due Postmaster General Jew
ell for his good management of the stamped
envelope contract from first to last He was
quick in rerceiving the straw bids among the
offers, and when it became probable that the
successful bidders would be behind time in fill
ing their contract he brought strenuous pres
sure to bear upon them, which had very hur-
rying effect. Finally, to cover all contingen-
cy, he has an arrangement with the former con-
tractor by which deficiencies can, in case of
need, be supplied. The Post Office Depart
ment bids fair to become model of govern
ment service
The Warrington Senson.
1t is understood the Presidents family after
the assembling of Congress, will include Mrs
Sartoris and her husband, and Lieutenant Fred
Grant and his bride, and that accordingly the
Washington fashionable season this coming
session, though ending on the 4th of March,
will be unusually active and brilliant.
The Third Term Nonsense.
Intimate friends of the President say that he
has made no allusion whatever to them con-
corning the question of third term, nor is it
known that any one has mentioned the subject
to him in conversation, and further he has in
no way expressed himself in such a manner as
to incline them to believe he has aspirations in
that direction. They further remark that al
though much has been said and written upon
the subject, the question has not come to him
in form requiring reply, and therefore any
utterance he might make would be gratuitous
and intrusive, but contrary to usage.

If Mr.. Bessemer can be believed. the reign
of sea sickness is about over. The world will
soon have an opportunity OF seeing his theo-
ry tested, for the vessel with its swinging cab
in has been launched, and will soon make a
voyage. She is $50 feet in length al the
water line, is cigar shaped at each end, and
carries rudders fore and aft. Each end has
an engine and pair Of paddle wheels, each
wheel having three feathering floats. The
central cabin is hung in the ship much like
compass in its box, so that it preserves its
equilibrium, however much the ship rolls.

CENTENNIAL OF THE Town OF CHINA.-The
centennial anniversary of the settlement of the
town of China, occurred Friday and was cele-
brated by gathering of the citizens, at which
appropriate addresses were delivered. Mr..
Dana c. Hanson, ,Ipresded and short addresses
were made by Friend Eli Jones, Stephen
Jones, Hon. A. H. Abbott, former resident
of the town, Augustine Jones, now lawyer in
Boston, o. d. Baker of Augusta, Dean Pray,
Howard Owen and T.. Burrill. Letters were re-
ceived from Albert H. Clark and John Bur-
rill.
Among the relics of the olden time exhibit
ed was powder horn made in 1868, the prop.
erty of Edmund Clark, one iof the first
settlers, that he brought with him from Nova
Scotia and up the Kennebec.
The exercises throughout were interesting
and highly enjoyed by the large number
present.
