Review of the Southern Troubles.


ISDIANoPoLIs, Ind, Sept. 10. Sen
ator Morton addressed an immense
audience at the Masonic Hall last
night, upon the past and present. lie
spoke earnestly and calmly. His re-
marks were frequently applauled. He
opened by contradicting the assertion
that Reconstruction was failure, claim
ing that its apparent failure was due
to the conduct of its enemies and not
because Of intrinsic defects in its
system. Resistance to reconstruction
grows out of opposition to the aboli-
ton of slavery and the elevation of
negroes to civil and political rights.
He condemned the "White Leagues"
which, he said, had hut a single prin-
ciple, that the white men should rule.
In the majority of the Southern States
there has been high carnival Of
crime for the pas! two months, but a
small portion OF which is made known
to the Northern publ,c. The news
agents Of the South are, with few ex-
ceptions, Democrats and sympathizers
with these crimes. and sometimes
participants. If they have news of
even large massacres, they accompany
it with apologies and justilications.
The telegram is loaded with reports
that the negroes are conspiring and
the whites are on the defensive, but
when the facts are known it turns out
that only the white Republicans are
killed. All the negroes ask is to be
let alone. They know that they can
not'cCpo with the whites in any strug-
gle with arms. The calumnies are
made pretexts for associations through
out the South. 1t is not a war of
races but war against the Republi-
cans of the South, whites and blacks,
not from any apprehension Of social
equality or lear of the Civil Rights
bill, but to make this white govern
ment and reduce the negroes as nearly
9s possible to slaves. He reviewed
the condition of Louisiana for the
past eight years, during which time
he said that State had been made a
vast slaughter house. The effect to
defeat Kellogg in 1872, he characteri-
zed as Il gigantic fraud. He referred
to the Senate Louisiana Investigate
ing Committees report upon that
matter, as showing the frauds per-
petrated by the McEnery party to
secure his election. He said the Su-
preme Court had repeatedly decided
that the Kellogg Government was the
lawful Government. The President,
in five different ways, has recognized
it. The House Of Representatives
has recognized it by admitting mem
Der on K:llogg's certificate. The
Senate did so by refusing t" pass the
bill for new election, lie said fur
Their that if the people Of Louisiana
would not have their State blighted
they must stop the murder business.
They cannot expect an honest Gov
eminent. The seizure Of the State
by the McEnery faction was in the
nature of aMeXican pronunciamento.
If it is tolerated III one State it will
be adopted in another. There is but
one salvation for the South-the re-
cognition Of equal, civil and political
rights Of the colored people, the pro-
lection of life for all opinions and
for all parties.

Letter from Kansas.

III. Editor:
will commence my letter by say
ing the grasshoppers have left us.
Blow you winds that watt them on in
their fight. Their damage here was
considerable, though not by any means
to be compared with the devastation
OF the South west, where they have
taken every green thing. Here they
simply worked on the corn and the
gardens aud let the fruit alone. Our
corn would have been light on ac-
count OF the dry weather, but now 1T is
still lighter, and the wind will blow
the most of it away, though there are
some carly pieces that l am told are
turning out twenty-five bushels per
acre, but thanks to a kind Providence
we have an abundance of wheat and
oats which will in a great measure
take the place Of corn.
We are having plenty Of rain this
fall and there is an immense amount
Of fall wheat being put in. Your cor
respondent and his partner have one
hundred acres in, which is up and
looking nicely. Emigration to the
front has turned and is coming back
here to the countries near the NJ.
river to pass the winter; great
many families have stopped about this
place, and report hard times TO the
westward. About three weeks ago
Gov. Osborn issued q proclamation
calling an extra session of the Legis-
latura which will meet tomorrow 1t
II o'clock, for the purpose of taking
measures for the relief of the western
or frontier settlers.
There is Il diversity of feeling as
to the propriety or rather the neces-
sity Of the governors calling this ex.
ira session but it will avail nothing
now. The Legislature will meet and
| hope to see it accomplish something
practicable that will bring relief to
our distressed citizens. The savages
are still at their murderous work.
Capt. O. I. Short, his son I. D. Short,
James Shaw, his son J. A. Shaw,
Harry G. Jones and J. II. Kench!er
were recently found dead west Of
Dodge city, small place about
two hundred and fifty miles West of
this, killed by Cheyenne indians.
They belonged to surveying party
and were all residents of this State.
This Is a specimen Of how the Quaker
temporizing policy works.
The James and Younger brothers
still continue their robberies in Mis-
souri,. They recently went through q
buss load ofpassengers in Ray county
on the N. M. railroad. But such oc-
currences it is claimed are the natural
results of Democratic rule. Not

parts Of this State, and also Of Mis-

plements of all kinds, bot. useful and
curious,as well as products of the soil
were there in great prorusion. 1t is
estimated that over one hundred fast
horses were there to delight the lovers
Of horse flesh. An excursion train
was run from this place each day and
was crowded to its best capacity by
people from all parts Of the North
west, who give in their testimony to
the effect that good time generally
was had.

" ASIiINGTOS.

Washington, Il. The participation of Ger
tain officers of the United States service in
the movements of the japanese government
against the inhabitants of the Island of For
mosa, is likely to cause some embarrassment
between our government and that of China
The latter claims to have the jurisdiction Of
the Island of Formosa and its people, aud
any proceeding on the part of American citi-
zens, of unfriendly or bellighrent character
against the said Island people is in violation
Of neutrality. One of the officers connected
with the Formosa expedition is Lieut. Douglas
Cassel, of the Navy. General l.. Gondre, an
ex.Uni,ed States Consul is also attached to
it.

THE AUSTIN RIOT.
Great Exciteme ent!


Memphis, Tenn, r. The excitement here
in regard to the Austin riot, is becoming more
intense owing to the untounded rumors of
young men of this city being killed in the at
tack on the place. The following is posted
about the city -
"Reliable men wanted to report on board

stragglers from the Mississippi force, which
lett Memphis yesterday for Austin, arrived

IILTON's OPINION OF
PLYMOUTH CHURCH

In his interview with Townsend, Tilton said
with wealthy and public spirited men, vino
like the smartish things said by Beecher, re
joice in the institution, play poker, and go 10
theatres. Tllton's theory about the control
that Beecher had over Mrs. Tilton, was this :
To her Henry Ward Beecher was Christ, a
very Saviour of men. "Look at her letters, "
said Tilton, ''wrtten after her confession aud
his remorse, and see how they breathe the
voice of passion and religion separately. "We
will walk in Paradise together" he says in
one place, and in the next he solicits an as
signaton. Tilton said he believed there was
such thing sinless sin. He (Tllton) lost
his wies esteem by abjuring the divinity of
Christ. The letters of Tilton to his wife and
hers to him, are printed, showing great love
and esteem.
The story printed by George Alfred Town
send Of his interview with Frank Moulton is
very improbable. Moulton has been very
reticent with every one as to the contents of
the letters and other documents in his pos
session as well as to any conversation which
may have been held in years past between
himself, Mr.. Beecher or Mr.. Tilton. 1t is a
very rem arkable facJ, provided it is fact
that Frank Moulton should thus unbosom
himself in such extraordinary statements as
those alleged by Townsend to have been
made to him by Moulton while he has not
allowed his own father 10 see the letters nor
has he stated to his father up to this day,
either the substance Of any conversations
held with Beecher or Elton or any adm ssion
of guilty by Beecher.
