A Negro Kills and Scalps two Men
and II Himself Hanged.

The details of the tragic and diabolica
manner in which man and boy II e,
their death at the hands of an inhuman
and savage negro near Fort Sill, Indian
Territory, one day last week, were gather.
ed by Register reporter from gentle
man who arrived in the city Sunday, and
who passed through that place the day
after the discovery Of the murder. On the
day preceding the arrival of the gentle
man at Fort Sill negro covered with
blood and dust, and bearing two fresh and
b!ood-stained human scalps, rode into the
Comache camp near Fort Sill, and boosted
Of having just murdered ard scalped a
man and boy, evidently thinking he had
committed deed that would give him
favor in the eyes Of the Indians, and meet
the approval Of the Chief; but, be it said
to their credit, they Immediately showed
their disapproval by dispatch;ng mcssen-
ger to the commanding officer at the fort
notifying him af what had been done, and
of the presence Of the negro in their camp,
Shortly after the arrival of the messenger
at the fort detachment of Unitel States
Soldiers went out to the Comache camp
and brought the negro into the fort. He
still carried the scalps, his clothes were
splashed with blood, and although he
made no denial ofthe murder, he persis-
tently refused to tell where the bodies
OF his victims could be found, or reveal the
motive that induced him to commit 50 dark
deed. After securing the country for
miles around, squad of soldiers at last
came upou wagon which was deserted,
and which, by the presence of fresh blood,
and ether signs, gave evidence of having
been the scene Of cruel and desperate
struggle. The wagon was identified as the
property OF a pedler who had been travel
ing thorugl, the country for some time, IN
company with his son, who was scarcely
more than child. No one could give
heir names, but from papers found in
the wagon, it is thought that they were cit.
liens OF Sherman. Every effort to find
their bodies proved futile, and though the
negro was severely tortured to make him
reveal where he had hid them, it all
proved in vain, and up to this writing the
bodies have not been recovered. The two
'calps were identified as those of the ned.
dler and his son.

WASHINGTON.

Suggestion From Senator West.
WASHINGTON, February 2.-SenatOr West
telegraphed to-day to Governor Kellogg
urging that the Louisiana Legislature should
reconvey to the United States two acres of
swamp land for each dollar that shall be
appropriated to aid in rebuilding the levees.
He thinks with this offer there is some hope
for relief.
Scene In the House.
There was great excitement in the House
today upon the Speaker remarking, in re-
sponse to point Of order made in q speech
by S. S. Cox. that he (Cox) was familiar
enough with the rules to know that his
speech was made for dramatic effect.
Mr. COxs'remarks were that he had been on
the Committee on Rules for years and he
never knew such an Infringement as that
he now contemplated. He offered his re-
signatiOn as a member of that committee.
AT this point the Speaker made the often
sive remark.
Mr.. Randall had previously rendered his
resignation as member of the committee.
Mr. Cox said the Speaker bad no right to
question his motives. or to say he made q
speech for dramatic effect.
Mr.. Lamar asked whether the Chair had the
right to question any motive of any member.
The Speaker said no, but that it had been
intimated that he ruled unjustly, and he
somewhat freely.
MI. Cox said he had not said that the
Speaker ruled unjustly.
The Speaker inquired whether both the
gentlemen (Messrs. Cox and Randall) did
not know that the question of their resigna-
tions could not be entertained now!
Mr.. Randall said the Speaker had no
right to question his motives.
Speaker-Does the gentleman say his
resignation was in order?
Mr.. Randall replied that it was when he
made it, but the Speaker had ruled it out.

The State Registrar's Report.

| The report Of Colonel William Wright,
who assumed the position of State regis
trar of voters September 3, 1874, has been
| made to the Legislature, and the REPUBLI-
CAN is indebted to his courtesy for copy.
The labor of the Office seems to have been
| very thoroughly performed in the face of
many adverse circumstances, and valu-
able statistics of registration are presented
from all parishes except four. The total
number registered was l53,9ll, and there
were l39, ,023 votes cast, this latter total in
cluding three parishes, of which there are
no registration data, and excluding three
from which there are returns. Of the
number registered l4l ,925 were native citi-
zens Of the United States; 1886 of
foreign birth. Less than one-half, 81, ,S59,
could sign their names; 81 052 making their
marks in place of it. There are 76,S23
white voters and 9O,78i colored in the
State; and of the whole number only
1881 Or, including the registry Of the par
ishes thrown out, only one-ffth of the
voting population. As the greater number
Of natives of the soil of Louisiana are of
African descent, the number of lineal
henchmen of the "oldest and best" are re.
duced to an alarmingly small figure.
The Northern States have 5779 repre-
sentatives and solitary native of Alaska
living in the sixth ward, and 56,GS7 from
the other States. Five were born at sea,
one in New Mexico, and one couldn't tell,
but got his papers notwithstanding. Of the
foreign born, the Teutonic element is the
strongest-62Gl hailing from the German
Confederation, AIS from Austria, Belgium,
Denmark aud Hungary. There are 27lS
Frenchmen, St4 English, ASH Irish, 592
Italians, 373 Norwegians, ia Spaniards 655
of other nationalities. and 43 were born in
Africa.
1t is matter Of regret that there is no
data showing the ability to sign the name
of the voters classified under the head of
race, but it has long since been demon
strated that making an X is no proof of
African descent Twenty per cent at least
of the colored voters can read and write,
and the rate is steadily increasing. This
proportion is not to be distributed among
those who are not natives Of the State, for
the majority came from regions where the
school house is a much more familiar sight
than in Louisiana. As the census of Loui-
siana is to be taken this year, that question
will be determined when those returns are
compiled.
The report also contains the correspond |
ence with Attorney General Field on the |
jurisdiction of the Second District Court,
and some suggestions on registration and |
the necessity for legislative action in regard |
to the taking of the census.

the experiment of the jetties in preference
to the ackno wledged certainty of the canal
is Barnard. He spent eight years of his
life in the neighborhood of the mouth of
the Mississippi, planning Notifications to
prevent the capture Of New Orleans by for
eign fleets. The next is Eads, before the
war professional diver after steamboat
wrecks, during the war gunboat con-
tractor, and since then an inventor and
business manager of the st. Louis Bridge
Company. OF the rest, Alexander is the
president of the board Of engineers on forti-
fcasions for the Pacific coast; Comstock is
IN charge of the lake survey; Professor
Mitchell, an assistant on the coast survey;
Sickles, superintendent of the Union Pacific
railroad; Roberts, chief engineer of the
Northern Pacific railroad, and has had river
experience in the improvement of the Ohio
river; Whitcomb, chief engineer of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad; Wilson,
Chanute, chief engineer of the Erie railroad;
Smith, president of the Baltimore Bridge
Company; Bayley. distinguished railroad
engineer in Louisiana, at present devoting
much of his time to attendance on the daily
sessions of the Democratic caucuses at
Dutch Company Hall, and Flad. the real
engineer of the St. Louis bridge.
1t thus appears that the recommendations
for canal and jetties are divided according
to the kind of engineers who have ex-
pressed opinions on the subject. OF the
thirteen enumerated who are not only in
favor Of the canal. but regard the jetties
as impracticable, ten of them have spent
years of their lives in studying the problem
on the spot, and three are engaged in i'm
provements Of navigation on the coast
Opposed to them are one engineer whose
studies here were intended to keep fleets
away, one from the Pacific coast, where
there are no deltas, two coast surveyors,
one civil and five railroad engineers and
three bridge builders. In other words, one
class is connected with harbor improve.
ments and the other with railroads and
bridges, reinforced with sprinkling of
engineers connected with neither.
1t then becomes a question where the
weight of authority is that gives such
strength to the jetty experiment. And it
can hardly be considered harsh answer if
those who pin their faith on knowledge
aided by experience, and judgment un-
Influenced by anything but conviction,
should locate it in The Lobby.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
Lest portion of the editorial in this
mornings REPUBLICAN in relation to the
gas case may lead to misconception, we feel
constrained to state that our clients repre-
sent nearly the whole of the stock of the
Crescent City Company; that they are men
who have no political wounds to heal or
revenge, and who never mix business with
politics. They expect to have pleasant
relations with the citizens of New Orleans.
but only as business men. The contest was
purely legal and afforded NO ground for
feeling on either side. You will fail to find
in thu conduct of the case the least foun-
dation for the political part of the article.
Our clients regard gas company as
private corporation only, and under no cir.
cumstances will they permit their company
to hold any political affiliations with any
body. Yours sincerely,
