The Pacific. r. r. Surveys.

The work of r~e-surveying the Union
and Central Pacific railroad lines be-
tween Council Bluffs and Sacramento,
will be divided into four divisions,
with an officer in charge of each, under
the general direction of Major Twining.
This is in accordance with the recently
passed joint resolution, and is for the
purpose of re-measuring the entire
length of both roads, it being asserted
that the roads are not as long as has been
claimed. As Government bonds were
issued in their construction at the rate
of from s14, 600 to S4s, 900 per mile, the
question of length becomes important.
Maj. Twining will reach Omaha in a
day OF two, when we shall have further
details of the working arrangements for
the surveys.

Cheyenne Courage.

A correspondent writing from
Deadwood of the recent bloody work
there, says: The Indian whose head
has figured SO largely in events, was
seen and shot by a man II have been
unable to get his name) on the noun
tains and the contents Of a double
barreled shotgun poured into him,
while his pony was shot by another
party carrying a rifle. The pony fell
and so did the Indian, and thinking
that il they approached nearer they
might u into an ambuscade, the
whites turned about and came back
upon the road, where they met some of
the armed parties who were out after
the stampeded stock. and returned
then to see if there were any other foes
lurking near. l pause to ask: win the
Indian fightP Does he mean business?
Is he a coward, with equal arms in his
hands to our men? Let the fight. in the
Little Big Horn answer? ssTexasn was
in advance upon the reconnaissance
last Wednesday and Mason next, fol-
lowing along behind him, and the others
still in the rear, when suddenly from
below them, and not 20 feet of, there
burst the smoke and sang out the report
of a rifle, and Mason fell, calling to his
companions that he was shot, and i'm
mediately the Indian was discovered
who had fired the shot, and just as sud-
denly rang out the report of five rifles
at once, and the Indian was dead, also.
Then it transpired that it was the same

of the shotgun, and although both legs
were broken, and one arm, he still man.

bear upon Mason, and after firing was
doing the best he could to reload his
gun for another shot. 1t is hardly pos
sible to conceive of a drawer spirit in
the heart of any foe than that which
had kept alive this mangled savage, and
at the last moment nerved him to do
the deed he did. And even death had
left upon his ~countenance the impress
of that spirit in the clinched teeth and
compressed lips. Those wiser in such
things than 1, say he was a Cheyenne,
and designate his tribe by the beading
of his moccasins and the two long braids
of hair he wore depending from the
crown of his head. The Sioux wear a
braid on each side of the head and a
little above and back Of the temple.

FROM RED CLOUD.
Ardyaiof the Black Hills Commissioners.

Ga.-.
Red Cloud Agency, Neb., Sept. 8,
via Fort Laramie, Sept. THE Sioux
commission arrived here this after
noon, having left Fort Laramie on the
4th with Capt. Egan's cavalry company
as escort They saw no Indians ON the
way and found everything quiet at the
Agency, which is in charge of Lieut..
o. Fitting.
Gen. Mackenzie, commander of the
District, was present to receive the
commission, and said he would aid it
by every means in his power. There is
quite a large military force here and
the Indians are in a depressed state of
mind in consequence of the concentra-
ton of troops at the Agency. They say
they fear they are'going to be massacred
as soon as enough soldiers arrive and
they hail the arrival of the commission
as a means of relief. Twenty or thirty
lodges left Red Cloud recently for
Spotted Tail Agency, through fear of
danger here.
The commissioners are anxious to
proceed with the council without delay,
and will lose no time, but of course
cannot say now when the council will
be held.

We can't help but feel that the San
Francisco Newsletter stretches the
story a little, but it says that a local
revivalist has devised q new way of
reaching sinners. He has attached
himself to a circus, and goes round
among the audience selling refresh
ments as an ostensible plea for saying
the good word. Between the acts he
shoulders his way Justify amid the
benches, crying, "O-o-ranges, apples,
gingsr-beer and lemonadel-oh, repent
Of your sinsl-three for ten cents.
Thank you; here's your change. Ginger
bread, nuts, all fresh. Take this tract,
young man. Believe and you will be
saved. Four pears for a quarter. Pick
'em yourself; all ripe and lovely. Oh,
how hateful is sin, my brethren; and
even this. night you may die. I gave
you two bits back; it had a hole in it;
feel in your pockets. Oranges and
apples. Ginger-pop a bit a bottle.
Now's your time. A prize in every

Affairs in the South.

The associated press dispatches bring
us fresh accounts of ~''outrages by ne
groes.n The Presidential election is at
hand, and the 'sblack desperadoes" are
evidently inaugurating a reign of terror
in some of the southern states, for the
purpose of carrying them for Hayes and
Wheeler by intimidation. In this con-
dition of affairs it is to be hoped that
the President will be called upon in due
form by the authorities of the several
southern states for troops to protect the
whites against their ferocious persecu-
tors. But for some inexplicable reason
the people of the south, and their Dem
ocratic state officers, are violently OPP
posed to such interposition. They carry
their devotion to the Constitution to
such lengths, that they actually prefer
to be inundated, outraged and massa-
cred, rather than owe their protection
to the unconstitutional Intervention of
Federal bayonets.
The next dispatch from the theatre
of war will tell us of more shooting,
but of a less harmless character, than
that heretofore done by the negroes.
The white Democrats of South Caroli-
ma, no matter how much they may be
frightened, will take defensive meas
ures, and then there will be a respecta-
BILE list of casualties-among the blacks.
IA white man wounded and thirty or
forty blacks killed. will be the end of
the story.

Mrs. Walker, mother of the boy who
sustained a fracture. of the leg and
severe bruises while trying to steal a
ride on the cars near ~Julesbirg the
other day, called at this office yesterday
to correct a statement made by THE
LEADER to the effect that the boy had
been arrested several times for petty
thieving. She stated that this was not
true of the injured boy, but that an
elder brother, whose wicked ways have
caused her very much sorrow, is the
black sheep of the family. We cheer
fully make the correction and regret that
have unwittingly added to the
sorely-tried mothers already too heavy
load of care by acting upon unreliable
information in charging an innocent
boy with crime.

The Republican Caucus.

At three O'Clock this r. II. the Re-
publican voters of Laramie county viii
meet in a convention for the pur-
pose of selecting ten delegates to the
Territorial Convention at Rawlins the
latter in turn TO choose our standard
bearer for the ensuing congressional
campaign.
1t is needless for us to urge a general
attendance of all Republican voters en-
titled to vote in this county at the next
general election. Our friends realize
the importance of the canvass, and will
devote a few moments to the perform
ance of a duty every good citizen owes
to his party. The duty to-day consists
in the election of good and true men to
represent the most populous county of
Wyoming at the Rawlins convention
next week. Let us mmence the work
of the present campaign right, and the
battle is half won. Get the best of our
citizens interested in the issues of the
hour, and especially in the election of
our candidate for Congress, and success
will be assured.
The Republicans in the western coun-
ties are actively engaged in preparing
for effective work; they are united and
sanguine of success. Laramie county
is to lead off to-day in the skirmish,
and it will depend somewhat upon the
spirit manifested at III mass conven-
ton, whether the good work of redeem
ing our territory from Democratic SUI
premacy shall be carried to a successful
termination.
A united front, hard work and faith
in the justice of II eau will give us
the victory.
