The Presidents PROCLAMATION.

HM.NH
The centennial anniversary Of the
day on which the people OF the
United States declared their right to
Independence, seems to demand ex-
ceptionni observance. The founders
of-the government, at its birth and
it's feebieness, invoked the blessings
and protection ola Divine Providence
and thirteen colonies and three mill
ions of people have expanded into a
nation of strength and numbers COM
mauding a position which then was
asserted and for which fervent pray
ers were offered. 1t seems fitting that
on the occurrence of the hundredth
anniversary Of our existence as a
nation, grateful acknowledgment be
made 10 Almighty God for the pro-
lection vouchsafed to our beloved
country. I, therefore, invite the good
people of the United States on the
approaching fourth day Of July, in
addition to the usual observances with
which they are accustomed to greet
the return of the day, further, in such
a manner and at such a time, as In
their respective localities and relig-
ious associations may be most con-
venlent, to mark its recurrence by
some public, religious Thanksgiving
to Almighty God, for the blessings
which have been bestowed upon us as
q nation during the centenary of ouI
existence, and huinbly to invoke the
continuance of His favor and of His
protection.
By the President:
HAMILTON FISH,
Secretary of State.

settlement Of the question of the
South is delayed il will become gray
er and more complicated. Rebels are
ia Congress and some of them have
been members of the rebel Congress.
How they got into the Congress of
the Union must be made known.
A true history Of what was done to
secure the appearance of their elec-
ton would be startling reading.
Wives and children ofcolored citizens,
terrified by the appearance at mid
night of White Leaguers, masked
but well-known, demanding and
taking away the husband and father
to mutilate with cruel whipping or
shoot in the woods; Republicans in
Inundated and ordered to leave; and
this is in the year Of the Lord 1876.
the year before the Centennial, and
continued since.
A contemporary says -
"Fhe unhappy Republicans Of the
South are doubtless watching with
great interest the political horizon.
They have proved steadfast to the
principles of the Republican party,
often sacrificing their lives by hum
dreds, and have longed for the COM
ing of a brighter day, when they will
feel ecure in their lives and proper
ty."
That this language should be true
OF any class of our citizens at this day
is a scandal and a shame. That the
victims live under the glorious old
flag with the stars and stripes, of
which w are SO proud that we can
not help Boosting of it, is anomaly and
an outrage that needs explanation.
But when we say that there exists In
the South ian organized Hypocrisy"
composed of rebel Confederate Demo-
Gratis who have their representatives
in Washington, claiming to legislate
on their disIoyaity, everything is ex-
plained-from the intimidation and
murder of white and black Republic
cans down to the presence of men I'M
punished in the halls of the National
Legislature.
Let the South take warning in
lime. Republicans, be true to your
principles; but above all things COM
bine and hold together. By voting
rightly and certainly-not one ballot
left uncast, and watching against
fraud and injustice to make 1t known
1.-The power of the Democratic ex-
Confederacy in the South will be
broken and a Congress of loyal
American citizens be sent with Ruth
sord b. Hayes as President and Will
liam A. Wheeler as Vice President,
fit and proper men to represent the
great Republican party in the country
and to the world at large.

A Warning to the South.

II the ex-Confederates of theSouth-
ern States imagine that they are to
divert the issues of the coming cam
paign for the Presidency, and SO hide
the menstrous injustice perpetrated
against Republicans within their
borders, they are generally mistaken.
The political condition of the South
must be made known to the entire
people of the United States, that they
may see what has been the result OF
the rebellion and its settlement by a
costly war. Democratic intolerance
a no longer be a hidden cancer on
on the body polite, spreading to the
destruction of Republicanism, to the
prevention of peace, to the elimina-
ton of the principles of freedom from
the constitutions of the Southern
States.
When the war was over the Re-
publican party desired TO reconstruct
the South on a basis in accord with
the new condition of society and its
political welfare. At first the rebel
Democracy held sullenly aloof, and
would do nothing to aid the cause
But while abstinence from interfer-
ence was an open pretense, it was
500 discovered that the rebel ele-
ment had been industriously at work
founding Ku-Klux Klans, White
Leagues, and the White Mans party
every member of which was q rebel,
oath-bound to intimidate or murder
Republicans. 1t Will not be enough
to show how far the South has re-
cedee from progress under the bligth-
ing blasting influence of Democratic
rule. 1t will not be enough TO exhibit a
nominally free south, with freedom
guaranteed by the Constitution of
the Union, but practically aSotuh with
serfdom prevailing and all the ligis-
lation to deprive the colored citizens Of
the benefits of education and the right
to labor where and for whom they
please. The disloysl men responsible
for this condition of affairs must be
pointed out and held up to the bar of
public opinion. Instead of the igno-
minious sight of rebels who had es-
capped the halter through amnesty
arraigDing the nation in Congress for
the acts of the Republican party in
saving the Union, which amnestied

The Sioux War.

ID .Ha. A WoAs ""LA
The serious check experienced by
General Crooks column In its recent
battle with the warriors of Sitting
Bull, and which was fully described
by our special correspondent, has
shaken public confidence in our abili-
ty to conquer the Sioux as quickly as
was anticipated at the outset of hos
t~ilities. especially when it has been
made known that General Crook has
ordered up five companies of Infantry
and the Fifth cavalry as reinforce
ments for his command. The activity
of the Sioux and the breadth of their
field of operations show how serious
is the danger that menaces, for it is
evident that scouting parties of Sit
ting Bulls force are securing the
country, ever in the zeal of General
Crooks position. A late dispatch
informs us that the courier who was
Sent to Fort Fetterman on June 10
with duplicates of the He. aid special
dispatched from the field, published
in last Saturdays issue. has not vet
reported at the fort, and fears are
entertained that he has fallen into the
hands of the Sioux.
There is evident need of sending
strong endorsements TO the different
columns of troops acting against the
Sioux. In arranging the plan of
campaign the military authorities
seem to have moderated the impor-
lance of the enemy. At least we
judge SO from the disregard shown to
the sound principles of wal which
forbid the use of converging columns
in the face of an active and resolute
enemy unless there is good reason to
believe that each column is more than
a match for any force that ian be
brought against 1t. After the exper-
fence of General Crooks command it
would be a little rash to say that the
smaller columns are not in danger of
being beaten in detail. A large num-
Der of troops is at present distributed
over points where their presence
a easily be dispensed with; and it
would only be prudent to place as
many of them in the field as would
remove M doubt as TO the issue of
the present campaign against the
Sioux. Whatever opinions may be
held as TO the business or expediency
of beginning this new Indian war,
now that we have 1t on our hands we
must carry 1t on vigorously and sue
cessfully for the sake of the frontier
settlements. We who's are unacquaint-
ed with the warwhoops Of the savages,
can afford to receive with philoso-
phic calm the news of the reverse
sustained by the troops IN the Plains,
confidept that, sooner or later, the
power of the government must make
itself felt; for the dwellers on the
frontiers, disaster to the troops means
burning homesteads and murdered
families. Those who have fostered
this war cannot escape from the re-
sponsibility for any outrages that
may be committed by Indian bands,
except they send every available man
to the front, SO IS to secure an early
termination to a war that endangers
the safety Of an extensive.and poorly
guarded frontier.[N N. Y. Herald.

MARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.-Sunday
morning Policeman Tomlinson was attract.
ed by the barking Of a dog to the back yard
Of Mr.. c. r. Barksdale's residence, on
Franklin street, where he found Mr.. Walter
Tyler lying in an unconscious condition. 1t
appears that Mr.. Tyler was spending the
night with Mr.. Rennie Barksdale, the two
sleeping in the third story OF the house.
About o'clock Mr.. Tyler, feeling unwell,
went to the window for fresh air, and
while there fell asleep and fell out of the
window. His fall was broken twice in the
descent-frst by striking on the roof OF a
porch and then on coal-house. But for
this his fall would doubtless have resulted
in death, or in very serious If not permanent
injury. AS it was, however, he only had
his collar-bone slightly broken and his body
a little bruised.
DR.. Lewis was called and rendered the
necessary medical attention.

A DIsGRAcEFUL RIoT IN THE GoUNTY.-A
letter from the county dated Sunday tells us

letter from the county dated Sunday tells us
the following:
cat q colored festival held ut the Brook
(colored) church last night there occurred a
disgraceful riot, which was attended with
some bloodshed and bruises.
About II o'clock T. II. Squire e. p.
Hodgson was awakened by one OF, the col
ored boys residing on his plantation. The
boy was crying hard and said, "They've
killed uncle Mosey." Further inquiry de-
veloped the statement that one Moses RAN
dali had been badly cut and beaten about the
head. As the injured party was an old
and faithful servant with the family, and
requested the Squire to come and quell the
disorder, he reluctantly went, armed with
an officers sword. On arriving upon the
scene he perceived about fifteen or twenty
darkys, supposed to be from Richmond,
acting in very boisterous manner and at
tempting to force their way into the build
ing.
The Squire summoned Mr.. Peter Neurohr,
deputy constable, to his aid, and proceed
ing to the door, commanded the peace. A
short struggle ensued, during which the
principal darky escaped and jumped over n
fence into Mr.. Young's woods. A hand
to-hand encounter took place between the
officer and the riotous darkies, in which
Squire Hodgson wounded several with his
sword, and Deputy Neurohr was knocked
down by negro, who brought rail to
bear on his head. Fortunately, he was not
seriously hurt.
Isaac Fields and John Ryland were ar
rested, and on yesterday, after an examina-
ton, sent on for Indictment. Tom Ryland
and William Hinton were bailcd for hear
ing on Friday next. Henry Coles was dis
charged.

thought the Council ought to select the man
that would be OF the greatest service to the
city for the salary mentioned. Mr.. Hannl-
gan was Il practical mechanic, and had been
brought up at the business. He was recon-
mended by responsible parties in Rich
mond as q man Of sterling integrity
and in every way fitted for the po-
sition. BY electing him the city
would avoid employing q mechanic to
repair the pipes, machinery, &C., as Mr..
Hannigan proposed to do this with his own
hands, and the only assistance he would re-
quire other than common laborers would
be 4 clerk to keep the books and collect the
accounts. Mr.. Wood said mechanic
