PRESIDENTIAL.

IL - seldom t0at the new 1ork 1eT-

avowed . preference based upon its
own conviction for an individual as
pirant for Office. The Herald aspires
10 be in American what the London
Times il In English politics, an ex-
ponent Of the general sentiment.
Whether ito estimate Of public opinion
has or has not been generally borne
out BY facts, our readers acquainted
with the history Of the paper and the
country can Judge as we'll as we. 1t is,
1t any rate, only in the light of this
ambition on its part, that its recent
change OF front on the presidential
question il worthy of notice. A few
days ago the Herald was tooth and
nail for Tilden for the Democratic and
Conkling for the Republican nomina-
ton. Aftsr cautiously feeling the way,
the last two or three copies of that
journal that haze reached us pro-
nouncs smphatically for Bristow at
Cincinnati, and for either Thurman or
Davis ct st. Louis. We have repeat
edly advocated the integrity and states
manship Of Bristow and Thurman, and
we are glad to see this indication Of the
current Of public opinion in the East.
QUICK TRAvELING.-We are advised
by the Associated Press that q theatre
cal party will leave New York on
Thursday, June LIST, with the intention
Of performing in San Francisco on the
following Monday. The railroad mag
mates have apparently interested them-
selves in the project and every nerve
will be strained to make the trip the
quickest on record. A limited num-
Dor Of tickets have been sold at the
modest price OF $500. Among those
who have signified their intention Of
joining the excursion is the corre-
spondent OF the London Times. 1t Is
expected that the through cars will
leave New York on Thursday norm
ing and arrive in San Francisco In
time for strawberries before a Sunday
dinner. Over three thousand miles in
eighty hours, including stoppages !
Space and tune are almost annihilated.

we learn of the healthy financial con-

showing in the mine, shareholders
will shortly be treated to their regular
monthly dividends.

THE BLACK HILLS INDIANS,

Our ~telegraphic dispatches convey
the information from various sources
that the army, under tried and we'll
known leaders, 10, from different STRAIT
sgic points, moving upon the savages
who have ensconced themselves in the
rich country between the Yellowstone
and the Powder rivers. 1t appears that
our troops are moving in sufficient
force to ensure success, provided no
military fault be made; and we have
the names of Crook, Custar, Terry, and
others, to assure us that everything
will be done to establish the subsection
Of the Sioux. We hope, in the inter-
ests Of humanity and civilization, that
this campaign may be short, sharp and
decisive. We hope the Sioux-the only
northern aboriginss who still resist the
advance Of civilization-may learn this
spring, finally and for all time, that the
eminent domain is in the General Gov
eminent; and that all struggles to re-
sist the march of progress will prove
futile. These Indian troubles are not
easy Of settlement. To settle them and
quiet forever the savage passions of the
red men will involve the expenditure
Of many lives and many thousands Of
dollars; but the principle which un-
derlies the whole matter is simple, and
It has never been better expressed than
by one of Nevada's Representatives in
Congress. In most matters we may
not coincide with Tom Fitch, but no
man ever gave truer advice than he
when he advised, "Iet us civilize the
buffalo and the Shoshonee; let US ex-
terminate the panther and the Apache"
People in the East do not understand
this Indian question. They do not
know the Indians. We do. There is
not . prospector west Of the Rocky
Mountains who does not appreciate the
difference between q domestic and =
wild Indian. Mr.. Fitch merely typi-
fed them in mentioning the Shoshonee
and the Apache; and the Sioux from
the Red River Of the North to the
Rocky Mountrins are to be classed
with the Apaches. They are untame-
able. They resist progress; they OBJ
struct the development Of the land;
they ~treacherously murder women
and children; they can not be civil
lied. Let them be exterminated.

until the balance was paid, which was
soon done without going into trial. The
valley between Fort Smith and Little
Rock is from twenty to forty miles wide,
including a vast area of the richest sgri-
cultural lands, which produce ali kinds of
grains, grasses, vegetables and fruits in
great abundance. And Arkansas cotton
brings the highest price in any market.
This soil and climate is especially adapted
TO the production of grapes, peaches and
apples. The climate is genial and health
ful, and the winters are short and mild.
This region has direct railway communi-
cation with the North, South and East,
and will soon have an all rail route up the
valley to the great gold and silver mining
regions of the Rocky Mountains, via the
Little Rock and Fort Smith, Fort Smith,

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
A Frightful and Fatal Storm and
Dam Disaster in Iowa.
ABOUT DAVENPORT.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE AND DESTRUCTION OF
PROPERTY.
DAVENPORT, Iowa, July 5.-A terrific
storm prevailed over the northern part OF
this state last night on the line
port and st. Paul and Midland
railroads. Bridges and entertainments

and there are no trains on either road to-
day. The village of ROckdale was washed
out last night and AZ persons drowned

The track between Julif and Dubuque is
washed out, and it will take two weeks to
repair it.
ANOTHER DISPATCH.
Last night terrible tornado passed
through South Burlington. Mr.. and Mrs.
Stock we'll were instantly killed while lying
In their bed. Mr.. Dyke, whose home was
In Minnesota, was visiting Mr.. r. g. Root
on Summer street. He was instantly
wreck of the dwelling, which
was lsveliad to the ground.
Numerous others were more or
less Injured, but not seriously. Twenty
nine buildings were riddled to pisces.
The storm was of but an instsnt's duration,
| and it's work OF destruction was like a
fash of lightning. The
STORM THREATENED THE ENTIRE DAY,
and IL finally broke about half past s p. II.
with great violence, and although no DAM
age was inflicted in this immediate vicin-
ity, several instances are reported
from other points. At Blair, Nebraska,
the round house of Sioux City and
Pacific Railroad Company and the Omaha

two engines buried In the ruins. No loss
of life is reported. Also several houses
blown down at Ashland. j. 8. Winter

from the rain. The house
vas struck by lightning and
Winterstein instantly killed, the rest o.
the family being uniDjured. The Omaha
Terald's special from Lancaster and
Gage counties says CROPS are look
ing finely. Some barley has
been harvested and prospects are
good for heavy yield. Recent reports
received from Blair, Nebraska, show that
the storm of last night did greater dam
age than at first supposed. Many OF the
first buildings fered severely. No loss
of life yet reported. The storm passed
esst into Iowa and did great damage there

BROOKLYN, Oct. 1.-THE suit
brought by Bernard Stamm against
the Southern Railroad Company of
Long Island, to recover damages for
the loss of foot, the amount claimed
being $25, 900, was concluded yester-
day. The jury found verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum of $4,000. The
plaintiff was driving truck on Sep
TENDER IL, 1874, when the engine be-
longing to the defendants ran into the
vehicle, throwing Stamm to the
ground, and the wheels passing over
his left foot crushed it so that amputa-
