dreas Eisinger, Of the Swiss Canton Of
Graubunden, late of the United States

was one of q party Of United States
troops which captured band Of Chey-

of Eisinger, he found that their Ian
guage was identical with his own, and
that he could understand Cheyenne.
Having subsequently received the ap'
pointment of interpreter, he found that
the Arapahoes and the Comanches
spoke the same soft Graubundenian
tongue He therefore believes that
he has demonstrated that the Indians
Of the Southwest are neither more nor
less than wandering children Of tho
Swiss Republic.

The Mormons Propose a New Defence
For POlgamy.

It was recently announced that Geo
Reynolds, one of the prominent latter
day saints, had been tried and convict
ed by jury, composed Of mormons
mostly, on the charge Of pol lygamy. 1t
appears that the case was brought on
by command Of Brigham Young, as a
test case, and conviction secured with
the design Of appealing on the plea
that the act of Congress forbiddiug
polygamy is in conflict with the treaty
with Mexico; known as the treaty Of
Guadcloupc Hidalso, by which the
United States acquired a title to the
territory between the Rocky Mountain
aud the Pacific, aud that the act, being
in disregard Of treaty obligation, is
void. The clause Of the treaty on
which they rely, is that which guaraa
tees to all the Inhabitants of the region
acquired from Mexico the free exer.
else Of their religion At that time
the Mormons had recently established
themselves on the present site OF Salt
Lake City, and they claim, therefore
that their religion and polygamy,
which il a part of it. are protected by
the treaty. That the Mormon practice
Of polygamy was not contemplated in
the treaty, is evident from the fact
that they were as a body unknown tc
the Mexicans at the time it was made
and that this theory will be recognized
by the Supreme Court, is hardly prob
able. Journal.

the contrary, they have slightly in

chiefly to be Americas superior transit

The Indians of that section have made
several warlike demonstrations and have

Governor ROutt telegraphed General
Pope at Fort LeavenwOrth, informing him
of the state of affairs, and asking him to
authorize Colonel Hatch to issue arms to
the citizens, but received q reply to the
effect that only the President could author

at Forts Union, Wingate and Garland to
suppress outbreaks should any occur.

Especial to the New Orleans Republican,

SHREVEPORT, October >, 1876.
The Republican mass meeting here to-
day, to welcome Hon. s. B. Packard and
party, was a grand success, about 1900 be-
ing present.
A heavy rain last night deluged the whole
section. preventing large numbers from the
country attending.
A large number of Democrats were in at
tendance, and the speeches of Hon. S. B.
Packard, Judge Hugh j. Campbell and j.
P. Harris, Esq, were listened to with
marked attention and highly appreciated.
At night, from the stand at the corner of
Texas and Market streets, General Jack
Wharton met the largest audience Of citi.
zens that has assembled in Shreveport dur
ing the campaign.
After speaking for three quarters Of an
hour he was hooted at, and struck by q
q rock thrown by some one in the audience.
At the time, he was making q telling
speech, and reciting some of the unpleasant
facts in the past history Of the Democratic
party.
At the solicitation of the chairman and
other friends on the platform, he, after this
display of intolerance and violence, ceased
speaking.
Then Aleck Boarman rose to quiet and
restore the harmony of the occasion. He
said that he greatly regretted such occur
rences, and was deeply panied at the un-
kindness extended to q Republican who, in
common with all citizens was entitled to
the right of free speech, and said that such
intolerance would add more votes to the
candidacy of the Republican ticket than
all the speeches he and General Wharton
could make in Caddo.
Mr.. Boarman was quietly listened to, and
repeatedly solicited to 60 on. He declined
to speak, because he would not ask the in
diligence of an audience that had refused
to listen to General w harton, whom he had
introduced.
On behalf of the people of Shreveport and
Caddo parish, your correspondent will
state that the conduct toward General
Wharton was deprecated by number OF
our best citizens who were present.
Colonel Packard and party leave here at
midnight for Mansfield, De Soto parish,
where they will speak tomorrow, and from
there will go to Coushatts and speak on
Saturday, when all will take the steamer
for the lower parishes. Y.

Vendetta in the Cherokee Nation.

The Cherokee AdrOcate gives the details
of the latest act of vendetta in that ma
ton that occurred Sunday, September IA.
1t commenced in 1866, when the Della
wares joined the Cherokees. Two boys. q
Delaware and Coker, Cherokee, fought
without Witnesses, and Coker was killed,
the Delaware surviving by miracle. John
Coker, father, and Calvin, brother of the
deceased, soon afterward shot Charles
Hicks in the presence of his wife. The
Delawsres, led by Rev. Charles Journey
cake, pursued them, but they escaped,
their family residence being burned. Johu
Coker died in Arkansas. Calvin was after
ward tried and acquitted. A month after
ward he killed the Rev. Charles Journey
cake. He was acquitted for this. Lately
he was shot in the back, but is recovering.
Sunday the Rev. Isaac Journeycake was
just about to preach when pistol shot was
heard and four men rode up to the door. A
deputy sheriff, Delaware, William Sar-
coke, highly respected and esteemed, call
ing on them to preserve the peace, was fred
on by all and instantly killed. The con-
gregation, all unarmed, poared out, and the
desperadoes fred into it and fed. A young
man found Spencer rife and followed. He
killed Frank Rogere, son Of . Cherokee
Judge, and sfterw ard captured James Shelly
and Louis Allen. They confessed the object
was to attract the Rev. Isaac Journeycake
to the door and kill MIN. Elan Brown es.
capped. The Adrocate intimates that the
two captured will never be heard of again.
