the Sumter County prisoners whom he sent to
Mobile, to be settled as chance may dictate,
or never to be settled at all. Mr.. Hester, how
ever, does not expect to be safe in Washing
ton. From information which he has received
he is prepared to state that the Alabama
Ku-Klux have determined to kill him. even If
they follow him beyond the boundaries OF the
United States.
We hope Mr.. Hester will not attempt hope
less flight, but will call upon the Attorney
General for the necessary troops to protect his
person, and will then proceed to enlighten the
country with respect to the recent political
campaign in Alabama. During the whole
period of the canvass Mr.. Hester was ransack-
ins Sumter County for the murderers OF lvey.
The prosecution of this extraordinary search
led to the introduction of cavalry who rode
through the country by night, and convinced
the negroes (unntentonally Of cOurse) that
their mission was to shoot every cOlOred per-
son who refused to vote the Republican
ticket In the course of the search the Ordi-
nary machinery of justice was thrown into dis
order, the citizens were deprived of the equal
protection of the laws, and innocent men were
put to great indignity, suffering, and expense,
without even probable cause to justify their
arrest In pursuit of the murderers of Ivey,
Hester arrested leading politician of Living
ston in order to break up political meeting,
and sent him three hundred miles for exami
nation on trumpery charge which there was
not even an attempt to sustain. In pursuit of
the murderers of Ivey he arrested four men
for conspiracy to injure" him, sent them
three hundred miles for examination, and used
fraudulent papers to compel the attendance of
witnesses. In pursuit of the murderers of
Ivey he arrested forty or fifty men accused of
"looking for Bob Reid" and sent them three
hundred miles for examination without par
ticle of evidence against them. In pursuit of
the murderers of Ivey he arrested the Sheriff
of the county, and kept him week in Jail
under military guard. In pursuit of the
murderers of Ivey he established per-
of the county, every one Of whom. however
guiltless, knew that he might be seized at
any moment and sent to Mobile in handouts.
When tho election was over, Mr.. Hester in
stead of going before the Grand Jury with
the proofs against the persons he had arrested,
cOOlly dropped the whole affair and took the
cars for Washington. The Hon. Charles Hays
has been reelected to Congress; but strange
to say, the murderers Of Ivey have not been
caught.
We shall be very much disappointed if a
court of justice fails to give Mr.. Hester an
opportunity to elucidate the history of this
remarkable campaign, and in particular to
show under what orders he acted. If he is not
ready to do that just now, we venture to
suggest that, since the close of the political
canvass leaves him little leisure, it might
be well for him to go back to Alabama and
look for the murderers of Ivey.

New-York tribune., 1874-11-23

The diplomacy of our Secretary of State hav-
ing failed to bring about an agreement for
the settlement of our claim for indemnity on
Spain, he now favOrs a resort to arbitration.
Although provision for this contingency was
made by the Washington protocol, the Ian
guage of that document is not very precise.
We have no information that the Secretary of
State proposes to submit any counter-claims
by Spain in like manner to arbitration. But
it is not improbable that he will be urged to
do so, and that reference to the protocol may
be made in order to influence his decision.
As any agreement for arbitration must come
before the Senate for approval, it would be
well for that body to scrutinize the text very
carefully 1t might give rise to odous COM
parsons, if, after Great Britain has for long
time had her indemnity, the tardy processes
of our diplomacy should end in our obligation
to pay an indemnity to Spain.

A TaIented s,yLndIer.

One Of the roughs who operated the
famous "sawdust swindle" is endeavor-
ing to revive that once profitable bust
ness. He has sent through the mails
circulars 50 seductively written, and
so marked IN Improvement on those
which inaugurated the game, that the
fools are certain to respond numerous
ly. Prefacing his offer to send conn.
tefeit money by express for ten cents
on dollar, he says:
Il hope that after l have placed
confidence enough 10 you to send you
a circular of this kind relating the ma
ture Of business, that you would not be
so trcacherous as to even breathe the
cotnents of this document to living be
lug should you betray me will find
means to be avenged In way perhaps
you would not dream Of
Further along he drops into confden-
tial advices about how to be success
full in passing counterfeit money, and
especially insists:
"A person in a bushes of this char
acter must be true to themselves and as
true as steel to the person they are
doing business with. You should al
ways abstain from the use of strong
drink, for in that there is great danger,
as person knows not whash might
say when drunk. You should also
keep the secret of the business as still
as the grave, not even hint it to your
relations or breathe it to your second
self"
Then he tells how be was once an
engraver 10 the Government employ
and so was enabled to produce dupIi
cate plates of greenb backs. From these
he can print bogus money that the
best experts pronounce genuine. TIC
quiet wondermeut as to why he wishes
to sell countrfeits for ten cents on O
dollar that will so readily pass at par he
explains thus:
II deposited few days since large
amount of my money in six different
banks in Aew York they all accepted
it Sthout saying word. My money
being all new l thought it would not
be advisable to deposit any more for
fear they might think something wrong
When it is deposited IN banks there
should be other money that has been
IN use mixed with it. then there will
be no suspicion. l now need only a
few true men to assist me for six
months, theu VIC win secure fortune
that will enable US to enjoy all the
pleasures.
He says he will send any amount Of
the counterfeits carefully packed il
boxss-which the fools will of course
6nd filed with nothing but saw dust
and .paper-and the express company
will collect on delivery He sign;

BATTLE BETWEEN JAMES BAYOU
TIES AND SANDY RIDGFITEs-THE KILLED
AND WoUSDED.-From s. correspondent,
we get some particulars of the terrible
ARRAY 1T James Bayou, Saturday last, in
which one man was killed, and five others
wounded, some l3 or IA being engaged in
the battle.
From the evidence it appears that there
has been hard feelings between the James
Bayou and Sandy Ridgeites SINCE last fall,
the result of q fight between Bob Howard
of the Bayou, and Chas. Colston of the
best. Last Saturday a party from the
Ridge came to the Bayou-were drinking
some, and about O'Clock, i'm Helm of
the Bayou crowd, treated at Lawields
grocery. Andy Parker drank with him,
and then remarked, that they had man
there from the Ridge that could whip any
man at the mouth or in the forks of the
Bayou Jim Helm told him that he lived
in the forks of the Bayou, and to bring
up his man. Parker went over TO Clam
Helm asked him il that was his bully
Englan remarked that he was the man
Helm knocked him down. When Helm
struck Englhn, Colston, Drew, and Park
er. attacked Howard, when two Of the
Helms that were standing by went TO his
assistance, when ensued a general fray
of shooting, cutting and hauling.
Howard was cut in the bowels, face and
breast. and shot in the hand.
Chas. Colston had two severe cuts on the
head, and his breast-bone mashed in, in.
iicting a very serious wound.
Chas. Helm cut through the arm and
another of the Helms had glancing shot
on his forehead.
Andy Parker shot through the side in
licting dangerous wound.
Englan cut in face, aud shoulder mis-
placed.
There were four knives found on the
battle 6eld, aud one navy six.
Howard was said to have been consider
ably excited; but the Helm boys were
very cool, one of them stopping in the
heat of the fray to take a chew of tobacco
and another of them smoked a CT gar
through the fray without letting it go
out.
The magistrate was preparing, Monday
TO have all the parties arrested and bound
over 70 court, or put in custody
Chas. Colston and Andy Parker said to
be in dangerous condition Tuesday
morning. %
The Coroner's jury returned verdict
that Robt. Howard came to his death in
