About the Arkansas Affair

the Administration appears to be ac''hs
wisely, leaving the whole matter to the STATE
authorities. With the examples that have
been sfioTded, there was no telling what the
Administration, guided by Attorney,1enera
WILLIAMS, would do; but the fact was 'he
Legislature OF Arkansas being in session.
General GRANT had no authority 10 intetieie
In any way until called upon by that oouy'
smrn's appeals were no more entitled to re-
specs than any of BRowS's, or ROBINSON s. OF
even the renowned RICHARD RoE's ana the
recent elections have cleared the face OF Inc
Constitution from the dust of the revolution,
SO that 1t can be little better read than IL
was A short time since. SMITHS only nope
was of Federal interference, knowing that,
right or wrong, the side on which the fede-
raj bayonets were displayed would be the
prevailing side. AS these bayonets are not
TO be mustered in the case, SMITH is u gone
case. and won't bother Arkansas. Peace
rejsns in Arkansas, and we suppose the
flsrc-up there is ended.

LOUISIANA SANGUINARY PROPOSITION.
Especial TO the Washington Republican, j
Neao Orleans. November 1.-THE Sbreye-
port Times, the leading journal of North
Louisiana, in its issue of November 10th
says: "We want no representative on the
Returning Board, no fayors or concessions
from Kellogg and Packard. If George L..
Smith is counted in over W. NJ. Levy, or if
Twltchell is counted in over Elan, let Smith
and Twitchell be killed. II johnson and
Tyler, in De Soto, are counted in over Scales
and Schiller, as the New Orleans Republican
thinks, or if Heating, Levissee, and john
son, in Caddo, are counted in over Vaughan,
Koran, and Laud, then let johnson, Tyler,
Heating, and Leyissee be killed; and SO let
every officer from congressman down to con-
stable, in every district and parish of the
State, be served. We cannot afford to be
defeated by q ring of political scoundrels
after we have triumphed. Human life may
be precious, but the lives of all these carpet
baggers and Radical politicians 10 Louisiana
are yalueless compared with the worth Of q
single principle of justice and liberty"

Baltimore-Her neutrality-suspicious..
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad, one OF
the best.managed and most successful rail-.
roads in the Union, has lately held its annual
meeting, on which occasion the report OF
its business and condition was made. This
report has attracted much attention. Even
New York looks at it with jealous eye.
The road has just effected connection with
Chicago by a line that is straight for long
distance, and whose grades are good. New
York IA satisfied that that connection must
have direct effect upon the trade Of which
she has had so large share, and she begins
TO ask herself to what extent will that trade
be thus affected.
The New York Tribune, commenting
upon the achievements Of this great road, and
the rivalry from Baltimore that New York
must meet, suggests that the shlp'canal
through the Delaware peninsula should now
be undertaken as u national enterprise.
This canal we have long looked upon ss
important for the trade OF Baltimore but
the Tribune evidently considers that pro-
posed work as a means by which New York
NAV break the force of the Baltimore COM
petition for the trade of the West. There
can be no doubt that it would open large
freightage business between New York and
Baltimore, and also, that it would increase
the trade between those cities; but the great
point with Blltimore is that it will expand
and increase the trade of that city with the
world. This it would do to an immense
degree.
4 canal across the Delaware peninsula
would be a great improvement for our coast
wise trade as well as for increasing the ad.
yantages of the foreign trade OF the nation.
1t would 90 far to cX,end the intra co>tal
line Of transportation, to the immense ac-
commodaton and increased safety Of the
coastwi<e trade. Valuable in a national point
OF view, we think it is the very best i'm
proyement for the welfare Of Baltimore that
could COW be made.

Indian Outbreak.

Tho Indians Of Kansas and the Indian
Territory are on the war path. A dis
patch from Washington dated yesterda,
says:
Tho Indian Commissioners to-day re-
ceived q ~telegraphic report from John ID.
Mills. Indian Agent, now in Usage City.
Kansas. II says: Several parties OF
hostile ~Cheyennes, Comanches and
Kiowas appeared near Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Agency on the ID instant md
killed and scalped a number Of settlers.
The Indians were divided int Ave war
parties and were apparently moving to-
ward Kansas. Troops were temporarily
granted from Fort Sill TO protect the
agency. Mr.. Mills with an escort pro-
ceeded to Lee and Reynolds ranches,
where the Indians had made an attack
and were repulsed, and four men were
found wounded and scalped near by and
their three wagons. loaded with provis-
ions for Harwood Agency, destroyed.
One OF the victims had been tied to a
wagon and burned Al the next ranch
the teamsters. stage men, ETC., were coli
lected together. They reported that a
body Of 100 Indians passed that MORN
ing. Mr.. Mills advised all the ranch
men to abandon their places, which was
done. There are now but two ranches
occupied on this road. The Indians will
doubtless clean everything till repulsed.
Nj. Mills asks for two or three COM
Of cavalry to protect the Govern
ment's interest between the Cheyenne
Agency and Caldwell. There Is need Of
speedy and decided measures. Mr.. Mills
is n Quaker and a thoroughly reliable
agent. The Military Department in
dorse his request. The hostile Indians
number about 1900.
