accuser Of Tilden. On the 26th
of December, 1868, he took a sol
emn oath that his income from all
sources for the year 1862 was enly

the Presidency he swears in sub
stance that he committed PERU

Place them side by side and there
is no way Of escaping the conclu-

false. As in the days of Latin

so now, in the days Of

THE INDIAN WAR.

CHEYENNE, Sept. 1.-The Indian
commission have been engaged
here to-day perfecting q plan Of
separation upon which to proceed
on arrival at the agencies. They
will leave tomorrow morning.
A courier, who left the camp Of
Generals Crook and Terry on the
Goth ultimo, at the mouth Of Pow
der river, arrived at Fort Fetter-
man last night. The Command
was then on a trail which is esti-
mated at 10000 ponies. The camp
fires indicate that there are seven
distinct bands. There is reason
to believe that the Indians are
almost destitute Of food, and the
trails left in deserted camps indi-
cate that they are reduced to the
extremity of using raw hides for
food. All the Snake allies have
gone home, the Grows remaining.
General Crook fully expects TO
strike Sitting Bull in few days.
OMAHA, Sept, 1.-The following
official telegram was received

Democratic Dinner in
1861

At about the outbreak of the
late war, DR.. Russell, the famous
correspondent Of the London
Times, published in that paper an
account Of a dinner-party in New
York, in March, 1861, from which
we make this extract:
Among the guests were the
HopgHoratio Seymour, former
Governor Of the State Of New
York. Mr.. Tilden, an acute law
yer, and Mr.. Bancroft. the result
left on my mind by their cOnver-
sation, and argument was, that,
according to the constitution, the
Government could not employ
force enough to prevent Secces-
sion, or compel States which had
seeded by the voice Of the peo-
pie to acknowledge the Federal
power: There was not man who
maintained that the Government
had any power to coerce the peo-
pie of a State, or to forcei a State
to remain in the Union. Although
they admitted the Southern lead
ers had meditated this treason
against the Union, they could not
bring themselves to alldw their
old opponents, the Re, oi5licans,
now in power, 10 dispSeI of the

aregularly- organized militia com
pany were first disarmed and then
murdered in cold blood in order
that the white race might assert
their superiority My official re
latiOns have called me during the
past two or three years into the
Southern States, and | tell you
what | know, my friends, of the
real feeling of the Southern peo.
pie regarding the reconstruction
acts. They regard the amend
ments to the Constitution in refer
ence to slavery and the laws for
the protection of freedom as the
French did their cession to Prus-
sia at the point or the bayonet.
1t is to the South, by friends, with
this spirit, and with tie Demo
cratic party Of the North as its 81
lent ally, that we are asked to
turn over the government of the
United States, with all its powers
of legislation, with all its ma
chinery of taxation. No such
proposition for audacity has its
parallel in the history of the
country. What is the spirit of the
Democratic party? Do you want
to prove what the Democratic
party Of the North still is? Go to
Washington and see fifty soldiers,
crippled in the service of the
Union, tured out of the House to
make room for as many rebel sol
diers. This is evidence of the
spirit of the Northern Democracy.
My friends, we confront the old
issue. You must not underrate
the strength of the South and its
allies in the North. You ask me
if it can be avoided. | tell you
yes; it can be avoided in the old
way, and in the old way only.
You must not underrate the
strength Of this alliance. | have
an abiding faith that the con-
science Of the nation will be suffi-
GENTLY awakened to avert this
great disaster. Under the lead |
of the gallant Hayes, who periled
his life on the field of battle, a
modest man, a plain man, man
who has evinced great ability in
the administration Of the affairs
of the great State of Ohio; under
Hayes the Republican party will
achieve a new triumph. Ap-
plause.
What shall be your duty in this
canvass? tell you, freemen OF
Vermont, what ! know. The
Democrats are making great eff
forts to reduce the Republican
majority in this State. VIII you

There is little doubt we think
that the Sitting Bull' is none
other than Thomas Freeman Nc
Kinney Mclean who, in 1913 and
1874, was a student of the Missou-
ri University from Randolph
county. We see from the pub
lished catalogues Of the institu-
ton that in 1913 he was a member
Of the freshman class, and that
among his class mates, now liv
ing in Columbia, were Col. w. H.
Allen, John S. Clarkson, David

John M. Samuel; also Luther r.

in 1914, during which year he was
expelled from the university on
account Of a difficulty he provok.
ed with John II. Moore, now a
distinguished lawyer of San Jose,
California. After his EXPULSION,
Mclean, through the kind offices
Of Col. Benton, was appointed a
cadet at West Point.
While a student at the State
University, Mclean boarded at
DR.. A. j. McKelways's who now
lives in Marion county. No doubt
all his classmates will remember
well, and yividly recall
his long bushy hair, thin patches
of white; fuzzy heard, and singu-
lar appearance generally.

Really the Democratic newspa.

this year in assailing the Repub-

Indictment against the Republi-

ments or phrasalogy from the

Republicans year a ago, They
complain that the Republicans
are violating the Constitution,
but they made the same com
plant when the Republicans en-
forced the Constitution in 1861
against the armed Constition-
breakers. They complain that
the Republicans have ruined the
South and destroyed her labor
system, but they made the same
complaint against President Lin
coin. They complain that the
Republican party is one Of vi9-
lence, force, and oppression, but
they made the same charges when
President Lincoln thwarted them
in their attempt to establish a
government whose entire agri-
cultural, and a part Of whose me
chanical labor, was to be done by
slaves who were denied all the
rights of citizenship. They com
plain that the Republicans have
imposed oppressive taxes, but
they said the same thing when
they themselves were spending
several millions dollars to estab-
lish a negro slave confederaey,
They complain that the Republi-
cans are corrupt, while they are

4 few dayC since we mentioned ;
rumor that Governor Porter con
templated paying off a designa
ted series Of the past-due coupons
of the State debt. The rumor il
undoubtedly true, and we are
sorry of it. We could hardly be
lieve that Governor Porter haC
proposed to take such a step, and
made every arrangement without
the knowledge of the public. The
information that such a move
ment was on foot seems to have
been known to an exclusive few
about Nashville before the fact
was first mentioned by the Led.
ger, Itleaked out through Major
Tom O'Conner, at Nashville, a
gentleman noted for his success,
ful financial operations. A Ger.
tain banker there knew Of it, and
the fact was mentioned as a mat
ter of great importance. The Av-
alanche Of this morning says:
"The unpaid coupons of Ten
nessee bonds of 1874 and 1875,
which are to be paid under the
recent programme adopted at
Nashville, are all bought and
held by parties for payment. The
fact that payment was to be made
never leaked out until after the
nomination of Governor Porter
for reelection. All the unpaid
coupons are held in New York,
and are not for sale. Before there
was an intimation Of payment,
the coupons could be bought for
IS cents. Such is our informa-
ton
Its very strange Governor Por-
ter's determination did not come
to the surface before the late con
vention by which he was renomi-
mated. The general public GER
tainly knew nothing Of it until
the coupons to the amount Of
nearly half a million dollars,
which will probably be redeemed
in a few days at par in New York,
were in the hands Of a few CAPT
talists. Our Governor is Il reti-
cent man; so much so that it is
surprise that any one suspected
what was on foot. These coupons
were worth siXty-five cents on
the dollar in the market, and if it
could be left to the people no
more than that would be paid.
The taX-paying people will not
approve this step on the part of
our worthy Governor, and he will
find when too late that his mo-
tives are misconstrued. 1t has
taken q long time to collect this
money from the people; it repre-
rents the toll and sweat and sacri-
fees of the people. They have
given this subject much atten-
ton lately and do not feel able at
present to pay dollar for dollar.
The Governor could have taken
this money and retired million
Of the just debts of the State. The
people and the next Legislature,
which meets in aboutfour months
would have approved the act, or
if he feared that he could have
waited. We say nothing to re-
fleet on him or any Of the State
officers, knowing them to be men
Of the highest integrity and incest
sense Of honor, but we think, and
do not hesitate to say, that a mis-
take, and a very serious one, is
about to be committed.

Evils 0fEarly Rising.

The attention of medical men
in this great republic, observes
Hawkeye Burdette, is called to
the injudicious and absolutely
hateful habit much in vogue in
the rural districts and among ear
ly risers in the city, of getting up
in The night to eat. This noctur-
nal meal is family disguised un-
der the name of break
fast, and there is no doubt it has
much to do with creating, spread,
ing and sustaining the national
disease, dyspepsia, The custom
is sometimes visited with severe
judgments, but nothing seems
able to deter its votaries from
continuing its practice. We once
took summer boarding with a
man who used to eat in the night
and reused up all Of his house
hold to share the unnatural meal.
One night he stiWea us all up at
4:30 o'clock to eat. We rose and
ate. That very day his best COW
inundated herself on q wire
fence, one of his horses bit him
self with rattle snake, a reaping
machine ate up his best farm
hand, distant relative sent hls
vounpnet kou q drum, his wife
took to writing poetry, and one OF
his most popular, talented ana
handsome boarders fitted, leaving
an unpaid summers board pill
to remember him by. The ASsRr
circumstance is indelibly impress
ed upon our memory. We often
think of il in connection with the
somewhat striking coincidence
that we never have been in that
since.
