ly desired fair investigation in the
Southern States, here was an excel
lent opportunity, by giving the Sem
ate what it asked for, tc conduct the
investigations. He congratulated the
other side on its new zeal for open
Investigations and recalled the espion-
age system under which investiga-
tions were conducted by law.
Mr.. Hale predicted that when the
committee returned and reported a
minority report would follow. The
trick which the democratic visitors
report, indicated giving nineteen
twentieths Of the space to technical
bubbles. He explained the failure to
appoint democrats on the board. The
appointment was offered to half
dozen prominent democrats,and they
declined.
Messrs. Cox and Gibson, of LOUISE
ana, denied this, and asked for,names
which Mr.. Hale said he couldn't
give. He continued that investiga-
ton would certainly produce the bot
tom facts. The lengthy democratic
report evaded entirely the condition
of things which pervaded and which
would make Mr.. Cox blush blood red
with shame rs he never has before.
He alluded to the fearful atrocities
and hoped the other side would not
permit this paltry twenty thousand to
prevcnta thorough-going invcstiga-
ton. He declared the democratic re-
port had grossly prevented the re-
port made by Wheeler and himself
on Louisiana affairs, and in their al
lusions to it. The true question was
whether there were parishes in Louis
lana where men could not vote for
fear of assassination. If that were
proven untrue they would all rejoice,
even though its ascertainment should
result in the election Of democratic
President.
Mr.. Spencer, of Louisiana, said his
people wanted thorough investiga-
ton, which would show what the
whole nation knew, that the State was
carried fairly by the democracy.
Hundreds of negroes in Concordia
parish told him they desired to vote
the democratic ticket, but did not
dare to do SO for fear of their lives.
Social ostracism, expulsion from
churches and desertion of their wives
under the open advice of colorod re-
publicans would follow such voting.
Mr.. Cox closed the debate with

! Gen Custer and Many Officers
and Men Killed.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-Gen. Han
cock arrived this morning, it is sup
posed for consultation over the ter
rible situation Of affairs in the In
dian country. There has been no
official account of the following dis
aster. which seems well confirmed:
Gen. Custer found the Indian
camp of twenty-iodgcs on Little
Horn, and Immediately attacked
with five companies charging into
| the thickest of the camp. Nothing
is known of the operations of the de-
tachment after the charge. as they
were only traced by their dead.
Major Reno attacked the lower part
of the camp with seven remaining
companies. Gen. Custer. his two
brothers, nephew and brother in-law,
were killed; only thirty-one being
wounded. Two hundred and seven
men were buried in one place. The
Indians surrounded Reno's seven
companies and held them in the hills
one day away from water. Geheral
Gibbons then came in sight and tho
Indians broke camp and left III the
night.
The remnant OF the seventh cav
airy and Gibbons command are re-
turning to the mouth OF Little Horn,
where there is a steamboat. The
Indians got the arms of the killed
soldiers. Seventeen commissioned
officers were killed. The whole Gus
ter family died at the head of the
columns.
Another account says Tho battle
was fought on the 25th, thirty or
forty miles below Little Horn. Gus
ter attacked village of 2500 to
1000 warriors one one sile, Colonel
Reno on the other. Gen. Custer.
fifteen officers and every man of five
companies were killed. Reno re.

TTEDEY And HEYDPTCKs

Seldom, in the history of this ma
ton, has so great interest been felt
in any popular assembly as in the
National Democratic Convention,
which convened at St. Louis on the
9th of last month. Many circum-
stances caused the friends of reform
10 fear that secondary issues would
produce, to greater or less extent,
friction. AS all the old war issues
were settled. the Republicans had
attempted to make an issue of the
currency question, and thereby pro-
duce a division in the ranks Of the
Democratic party.
The Investigations of Congress
had unearthed SO many skeletons of
corruption in the closets Of the Re-
publican party that they were CON-
PEELED to pass by all the prominent
men in their party. In the selection
of men at Cincinnati, whose records
were comparatively free from stain,
they were forced to put forth men of
ohscurity and yet they were men
who, the country felt, would be kept
in leading strings by the Mortons.
Blaines, BabcOcks, Shepherds and |
Conklings. All except Office holders
and blind partizans felt that venal-
ity and nepotism would be perpetu-
ated in the success Of the party in |
power Hence the anxiety connect
ed with the Convention at St. Louis.
Never did men act more wisely. Til
den and Hendricks form a ticket
which is unassailahle. Not n whis-
per has ever been uttered against the
private or public character Of either.
This rot because Of their obscurity
for no two men have been more
prominently before the American
people. Since the days of Andrew
Jackson no man has shown the iron
nerve of Mr.. Tilden in crushing out
corruption in the Tammany and /
Canal rings Of New York and yet (
there has not been the blind stub
bornness of Jackson. Tilden stands
to-day at the head of American re-
formers.
Mr.. Hendricks is the embodiment
Of the frank, intelligent. wide-awake
Western man. On account OF his {
close identity with our people. many I
would have pTefessed to have his l
name at the head Of the ticket; still |
III acknowledge the Gtness Of the
rider.

THEIR NOMINEE.

As has been already stated in the
GAZETTE, the Republican COnveD-
ton which assembled at Bulls Gap
the 9th ult., nominated Judge
James II. Randolph, Of Cooke coun-
ty, as its candidate for Congress
from this district. or the wisdom or
want of wisdom of their choice, we
have naught to say. If the nomina-
ton pleases them it certainly suits
us. We confess we expected the
selection of another man. We had
thought aud still think there are
stronger and more available men in
that party than Judge Randolph. If
he possesses a single element of
strength more than any other man
Of his party we have never heard Of
il. True, he is a man of ordinary
ability, and q passable stump speak
er, yet he is entirely wanting in that
personal magnetism which draws
mans friends closely around him,
and binds them to him with hooks of
steel; and his harsh and oppressive
conduct while on the bench has
aIienated from him many, even
among his political friends, who will
neither forget nor forgive tue rough
usage and coarse abuse they have
been compelled to submit to when
within the circle Of his rule. He has
done no important service to the
country which might give him any
claim to reward at the hands of the
people; and he is the advocate and
exponent of no great principle-the
representative of no reform. In
brief, Judge Randolph, the Republi-
can nominee, is about as likely to
succeed Queen Victoria to the throne
of the British Empire as he is 10 rep
