place, who has just arrived from Gus
ter city, says on the night of the 10Th
that place was attacked by Indians.
who burned the ammunition house in
the centre of the city, which in blow
ing up destroyed several. His party
numbering ninety six, left at daylight
next morning, and cannot give par
ticulars. They buried John Schriek.
of Iankton. who had been shot eight
miles from Buffalo Gap, on the north
side of the Platte, between Red Cloud
and Sidney. They found the body of
L. +. Herman, OF Carlisle. Pa. who
had a $500 check and S2l in green
backs with him. The Indians lett
these, but stripped him of everything
else, and run oil his stock. They took
his body to Sidney, and from there
forwarded it home. The money was
placed in the hands of Mr.. Moore, a
citizen of Sidney.
On the 18th the Indians attacked a
miners cabin at midnight at Rosebud
between Custer and Deadwood, and
surprised and killed all the occupants
literally hacking them to pieces.
There are about 1000 people in
Custer, and loo houses. Nothing
can be done on account of the In
dians. Ii man goes mile from

November 10Th 1870, from James q.

Boston, offering for $4,000 to procure
for Fisher the one hundred and nine

phise of The y. 7. r., r., including
lapd company's stock. After describ-
ing the immense prospective profits
OF the transaction Blaine says he
himself cannot avail OF the opportu-
nifty, but obcying the first and best
impulse lie offered it to Fisher. In
his concluding paragraph Blaine says
keep my name quiet, mention it to no
one, unless to Mr.. Caldwell.
Blaine's receipt Ia Fisher for $25,
600 and his agreement to deliver as
described is also published. Blaine
was unable to deliver and after over
a year of waiting Aqnilla Adams, one

reclaimed 5000, his interest, from
Blaine and obtained it. The. cores

1T HAS been said all along that our
delegates IL the National Republican
Convention should go uninstructed.
Well, this has heretofore seemed TO
be reasonable policy, but now the
fact is, despite the action of the con-
vention, the delegates will be virtual
ly instructed. From all over the
State there comes up one acclaim for
Blaine, that so nearly embraces all
Republicans that it may be consider
ed unanimous. We predict, there
fore, that IN every district caucus held
to nominate electors, IL seiU be kaoWn,
whether spoken out loud or not, that
the delegates chosen are for Blaine,
none other will be chosen. In turn
the same result will follow in the
convention, in the selection of dele
gates at large. Again, Blaine will be
SO in every mans thoughts that it will
be impossible for the convention to
adjourn without in one way or an
other speaking for Blaine in thunder
tones. The popularity Of the man
from Maine has run wonderfully
winning race, and to smother its ex-
preston Is impossible. The New
York San, confesscdly the most men,
dactDps sheet ever published in this
country, has sprung the last false
hood against hip. Blaine made his
statement in regard to 81 Saturday, in
which he utterly aDpihilates the
whole SANDER, as he has done again
and again. He also briefly took oc-
easion to speak of the Arabian Nights
tales about his wealth, and says that
he is actually a poorer man to-day
than he was when he entered Con-

because the Grand Lodges OF the
south refused to recognize lodges
composed of colored men. Iowa
delegates and delegates of several
other northern States voted with the
foreign lodges, but did not with
draw. Thus it is shown again how
much more liberal are the people Of
enlightened monarchies toward the
cOlored race, than is the pro-slavery
element of this country. SO the color
line Is drawn on the temperance ques-
ton, as well as all others. This fear

death, as was shown recently In
Phil adelphia. when it was only a
the close of long litigation, before

Iowa's member of the Centennial
board is the Hon. Robert Lowry, Of
Scott county. There are about 5000
persons employed in some position,
including the police, in and about the
Centennial exhibition. Every one of
them are wlite-not one colored per-
son has obtained any position. This
feature of the case was noticed by
Fred Douglass, and son of his laid
the matter before the board in re-
spectfBl manner, and the chief cham

Mr.. Lowry. We commend him for
the stand he took. We are celebra-
ting the hundredth year of "a gov
eminent by the people" the whole
people, and now just emerged from
the most terrible baptism of blood
the world ever saw, in the course OF
which that accnrsed stain of slavery
went down and the civil equality OF
all men was recognized and framed
into the organic law Of the nation
1T is burning shame that a studied
insult should be offered to the great
principle Of the equal rights of man.
i'm a trucking snbseryient mood to
those who have been the cause of our
great national woes. Away with
such staff-such q compromise with
the doctrines of the devil. The day
of compromising away the equal
rights Of all men must be thing of
the past-if passed into oblivion on
the funeral pile Of three hundred
thousand souls, offered up in the
struggle to carve nation out Of this,
the chief cornerstone of which
should be slavery. We give below an
extract from correspondents letter
concerning this question Of employ
ing only white men at the exhibition
Before the Centennial Commission
adjourned last week until July l, the
AuesfiOA as to the employment of
colOred men about the grounds arose.
There are from 1900 to 1900 men en-
,xageA in various capacities, and mt
times as many as $500 have been en-
plOyed, hut all of them were white.

entitled to some recognition. None

ing into the National Republican
Convention with about 300 votes
There will be 1856 delegates in the
convention, and 379 will be necessary
for a choice. In the count giving
Blaine three hundred votes, Ohio,
with "A votes, and Pennsylvania, with
81 votes. are considered as voting, the
former for Hayes, and the latter for
Hartranft. 1t is not violent suppo-
sition to suppose that early in the
balloting these States will abandon
their own candidates, and that when
they do so, a large number of them
will go for Blaine. 1t is to us moral
ly certain that both these States will
break from their own candidates
early, and if Blaine holds firmly to his
large vote, which we feel sure he will
do, it will certainly nominate Blaine.
