INDIAN NEWS.

OMAHA, Aug. 3L-A private tele-
gram from Sidney Neb., say that Mr..
Jones with Clark's pony express from
Desdwood, reports that they were cor
rallied by Indians for some days. Fif-
teen men were killed. Last Sunday four
men were found dead In Buffalo Gap.
CHEYENNE, Aug. 31.-A courier,
who left the camp Of Crook and Ter
ry on the goth, on the North Powder
river, arrived at Fort Fetterman to-
night. The command was then on a
trail which was estimated contained
10000 ponies. Their camp fires indi-
cate seven distinct bands. There is
reason to believe that the Indians are
almost destitute of food, as traces left
in the deserted camps indicated that
they are reduced to the extremity of
using raw hides. All the Snake al
lies have gone home, the Crows re-
naming. Gen. Crook fully expects
to strike Sitting Bull in few days.
OMAHA, Aug. 2l.-A. A. Jones,
agent for Clark's pony express, from
Deadwood City, arrived at Sidney this
morning. He brings in the report
that the Indians raided the road be-
tween Deadwood and Custer, on the
Goth, and killed Weston Smith, min
lister, and three miners, named Brown,
Collins and Mason. carrying off their
stock. On the 22d they made raid
on party five miles south of Custer
City, and killed James Kidd, Samuel
Wallace, ]. Wiley and Thompson.
The Indians are supposed to be the
northern Sioux from the hostile camps,
who are now on their way to the
agencies. Jones says that the coun-
try is full of Indians, that there is
no truth in the statement of Dead
wood being corralled.

William ID. Kelley's Letter on the sit.
uatiOn.

Republicans who are eotemplstina
the support of the Independent Green
back ticket should read what that old
veteran in the cause of currency
reform William d. Kelley, has to say
upon the subject of parties:
WASHINGTON July, q. 1876.
L. B. Buchanan, Esq, indianapolis,
Ind.
DAER SIR: Yours of the 10Th con-
cerning newspaper slip announcing
that l would come into Indiana and
make speeches in advocacy of Hayes
and Wheeler, and inquiriDg whether
the statement be correct, is Just at
hand. In reply permit ME to say that,
If my health permits. as 1t now promi-
ses to do, 1 shall during the coming
campaign attempt to show the people
your State, in common with others,
that, Notwithstanding the terms of
the platform of the Republican party
and the letter of Governor Hayes,
currency reform, as l understand and
have explained. can be more safely
intrusted to the Republican party
than to the Democratic.
My judgment is that It is wiser to
labor for the conversion of an honest
and avowed opponent than to hope
for fair and honest dealing at the
hands of pretended friend whose
constant evidences of treachery COM
pei you to fear that while embracing
you. and asking you, "How goes it
brother?" may put a stillettO under
your fifth rib meanwhile.
Iremain, as ever. yours truly.

We believe that in certain probable
contingencies Nebraska can be car
ried for Tilden and Hendricks in No
vember ncxt.-Omuhn Herald.
Will the editor of the Herald be
good enough to inform an anxious
public what are the probable contin-
gencies" to which he alludes? We
understand from private sources that
it has been represented by Democrats
resident in this county, that Senator
Tipton's going over to the enemy
was intended that he would take with
him a majority of the Republican
party not only In this county, but in
the State! Now, if it can be shown
that Upton has taken a single indi-
vidual with him in this county, or
any other in the State, "we'll give our
head for foot ball."

Northern Democrats declare, as we
heard one the other day, that that
party and its newspapers condemn the
massacre of negroes in the South and
especially the cowardly Hamburg
butchery. But it is false. We have
never seen a Democratic newspaper
that said a word against the ku-klux
manner of reducing the Republican
vote. Democratic newspapers, DEM
ocratic speakers and Democratic Con-
gressmen apologize for and excuse on
fiimsy and false grounds the murder
of negroes and "carpetbaggers," and
some, as the Jackson, Miss, Clarion,
oppenly approve of such crimes and
oppression. That paper, one of the
most influential Democratic journals
in the State of Mississippi, speaking
of the Hamburg murders, said:
No impartial person can read the
reports of the affair 1CitftOut approving
The conduct Of the aUhiteS, and at the
same time sympathiZe with them in
the misfortune of having been forced
to such an extremity of action in self
defence.
The whites were the originators OF
the disturbance, and murdered those
unarmed, defenceless people in the
most cowardly and cold blooded man.
ner, as an act of intimidation.
A Virginia Democratic paper, the
Lynchburg Sfar understood the de-
sign well when it said:
The South Carolina negros are get
ting their backs up. They had better
remember the fate of their brethren in
Mississippi. IAN ounce OF prevention
is worth a pound of cure"
A majority of the Democratic party
to-day cherish and practice the doc
trine that intimidation, force and
fraud are legitimate means to carry an
election. This is believed in from
Tilden the ballot-box stuffer down to
the masked ku-klux night rider that
murders Republicans white and black
for opinions sake.

organizing democratic clubs and by
voting for Tilden and Hendricks.
To continue the amieable relation,
they must be Democrats. ITO have
their rights respected" they must vote
the Democratic ticket. To prosper"
it must be at the sacrifice of voting as
free citizens. Through fear of violat-
ed rights-intimidated through dread
OF the loss of property, and life, the
negro must 60 to the polls and vote
for Tilden and Hendricks, whom they
would not vote for but for this fear.
We would rather be forever disfran-
chised than to vote with OF belong to
a party of such damnable practices.
On the 8th of July last the United
States grand jury, sitting at Oxford
Miss, made it's report, statating,
among other things, 1.-THE fraud, in
timidation, and violence perpetrated
at the last election is without parallel
in the annals of history" but also
pointed out some of the defects in the
nOtional election law, and their fail
ures to find indictments in counse-
quenee. Reviewing this report the
Meridian (Miss.) Mercury is led to
say:
The lesson we draw for our benefit
from this report and action of this
packed jury is, that there IS quite q
margin for Intimidation" 6etIOeen Us
and ne can govern OlTSeLUes accord

AS there is a defect in the election
law, they will govern themselves
accordingly" and continue the prae-
tice of intimidation, violence, and
like their standared bearer Tilden and
his ally Tweed, rerpetrate frauds up
on the ballot box sufficient to carry
the election in that State. That is
pure unadulterated Democracy.

Destruction of GrasShOpperS.
remain, as ever. yours truly,
VIM. D. KELLY

Minnesota has been sorely afflicted
with the grasshOppers this year, and
what is worse still, the old 'hOppers
have lai dtheir eggs and seem to threat
ell another devastation next spring.
However, the st. Paul Pioneer gives
the following cheering news:
There has heretofore been some talk
abOuta parasite having been found ad-
herring TO the grasshoppers, which,
it was fondly hoped would ultimately
eXterminate tLat destructive insect.
Eearly in the spring several parties
forwarded to this office specimens of
the 'hoppers, underneath whose
wings could plainly be seen q little
bug, which, 1t was alleged, was surely
killing the grasshOppers. 1t Is need
less to say this hope was never realiz-
ed, and that no substantial relief was
furnished by any labors of the parasite
upon the live 'hOppef. Now, howev-
er, we have a different story to tell,
and there is almost positive evidence
to prove that a remedy is at hand in
the shape of an egg eating bug, which
is surely and certainly destroying all
the eggs laid by the grasshOppers this
year, thus lnSuriDg an exemption
for Minnesota from the ravages of this
voracious and destructive insect next
year. This bug is of deep red color,
about the size of flea, or rather a
louise, resembling the latter somewhat
in its shape and movements. Ex-Gov-
ernor Stephen Miller has forward ed
to President Drake, of the st. Paul &
Sioux City railroad, box full of earth
which orig nally contained mass OF
grasshopper eggs, but which has been
transformed by these parasites into q
loose soil, mingled with the remnants
of discOlored egg-shells, with null
titude Of the fat little red bugs pranc-
ing around the surface apparently in
pursuit of something more to eat.
Now, as to the utility and complete
success of these bugs as destroyers Ol
the grasshoppers' eggs, there would
seem to be no doubt in the minds OF
those who have given the subject a
general examination, as well as those
who have personally inspected their
mode of operation and the place where
they have already utterly destroyed
the eggs laid by the 'hoppers a few
weeks ago.

4 Democratic Thrust at the Public
School System.

A striking example of the degree OF
favor with which our public school
system is regarded by the 'reformers,
is to be foaad in the District of Co.
lumbia, the only territory which is
wholly and absolutely under the con-
trol of the national government. BY
the limit which Congress placed on
the expenditures of the Commission
ers of the District of Columbia, ii has
been found necessary to so reduce the
allowance for school service, that the
term during which the schools can be
kept open has been cut down to eight
months in the year instead of ten
months, as has always heretofore been
the case. Let it be remembered that
this action is not through refusal to
appropriate the money of the country
at large, but merely an arbitrary ana
unjust refusal to permit the taxes,
which are paid by the residents and
property holders of the District, to be
applied as heretofore in favor of a full
school term of ten months. The
school system OF Washington under
the fostering care of Republican Com
mittees in former Congresses has
grown from a mere nothing to mod
ell, and one that has been commended
and followed in many other localities,
and yet We see the Democracy at the
very first opportunity striking at it in
a manner and with force calculated
to make its friends and admirers stand
aghast. A movement is on foot by the
more earnest and friendly by which
1t is proposed to keep the schools open
through the full term by private sub
scriptions from those most interested.
President Grant has frequently al
luded in his messages to our free school
system as of the utmost importance
10 the country, and not only the plat.
form adopted by the Republican Con-
vention at Cincinnati, but Governor
Hayes in his letter of acceptance urg-
es the importance of fostering the sys-
tenn as the surest means of ensuring
the prosperity and perpetuity of oul
Republic.

The Nebraska City EeerS boaststha'
railroad men or those most interested
in railroad monopolies are Tilden's
friends. We quote the following
from the NeaUs Of the I'd inst:
"How Re it that the men most inte-
rested In the welfare of these railroads
are among Tilden's most ardent ad-
mirers and jealous supporters? ?"
We admit the claim as far as pres
ent eastern railroad companies are
concerned, and ask the honest labor
ing man-mechanic and farmer-if 1t
Is consistent with his idea Of reform
on questions of commerce, labor and
capital for him to support man who
has acquired his wealth and reputa-
tion as railroad lawyer, Tammany
lawyer, Tweed paid him $3.50, ,O0o for
legal services, and speculator in the
bonds of railroad companies heswin-
died and helped to wreck? We admit
that eastern monopolists are general
ly supporters of TIden because he is
one of them.

The Democratic idea of political
morality is we'll represented by story
which is told in Hartford. 1t is told
that when the Connecticut delegation
to the Democratic National Conven.
ton reached st. Louis they were al
once seized upon by the anti-Tilden
men of New York, who used every
argument against his nomination.
Why" replied August Belmont,
"Tilden has bought up all the scatter
ed delegations"
"Well," replied Senator Barnum,
unmoved, "it was with his own mon
ey, was it not ?"-ECchdnge.
Tilden was nominated because he
had plenty of money to run cam
paign. This argument was use effectu-
ally as his principal accomplishment.
The argument was that he could buy
Tammany, secure New York and so
probably secure his election,
Nebraska advertiser., 1876-09-07

A Democrat asks, "If Mr.. Tilden is
so unpopular how was it that he was
elected Governor of New York over
Gen. Dix ?" The Albany Times
Democratic, explains it thus:
"Mr. Tilden was elected Cover.
nor in 1874, but the vote he received
indicated his personal unp)pularity
for it fell far short of the Democratic
vote pOlled six years before. He was
elected in spite of his unpopularity
by the abstention of the Republicans
who were disaffected toward Gen
Dix. In a Presidential election the
Republicans will all vote for theiI
nominee.
Remember that the Albany Times
is leading paper of New York and
now support Tilden simply because he
was nominated, and not that it be-
lieves in his honesty, his popularity
or his election.
Nebraska advertiser., 1876-09-07

The Omaha HeraId-Geo. L. Miller
editor-referring to an article of ours
In relation to Union soldiers voting
for Tilen says:
"Who is this editor of the rotten
sheet at Brownville? What part did
he take in the war that he should now
be so anxious about the record of SOL
diers who choose to vote for Tilden
and reform ?'
We can inform the editor of the
Herald of some things we did not do!
We were never run out of st. Joseph,
Mo-, because being rebel! We never
skulked in the rear of Steele's army
down in Arkansas stealing Gotten
We never was Sutler at Ft. Kearney
and forged the names of dead Union
soldiers to suffers orders and collect
ed the money thereon! These are q
few things connected with the war
that we did not do! Can George l..
Miller say as much?

9 3 : {? ? Z

When the question In New YORK
was mooted amongst the Democratic
leaders, as to the propriety of nomi-
mating Tilden, the Albany EUenin9
-NeaOs foresaw what has come to pass,
viz: questions asked concerning
Mr.. Tilden which cannot be,
for him, favorably answered, and
the "thin disguise of reform stripped
from him" most effeetually. Wequote
from this Democratic organ, the Times,
as follows:
Let US remember that the following
are q few of the questions we must
answer if Tilden succeeds in getting
the nomination:
lst.-Did Tilden, like Church. or
Herman, give his time, his money, his
pen, or his tongue to the task of put
ting down the rebellion?
2nd.-Who, according to the oath of
Oakes Ames, drafted the Credit Mo-
bilier law?
3rd.-Who, according to the official
declaration OF Judge Davis of the Uni
ted States courts, was the head and
front of AN infamous fraud in working
out the great railroad consultations
of the West, from which the region is
still suffering?
4th.-Who. according to Mr.. Girls
wold, of st. Louis, was guilty of cut
ting off and getting payment on cou-
pons, for more than ten years, on other
peoples railroad bonds, and appropri-
ating TO himself other securities left
with him in trust?
5th.-Who, according to G. IT. Har-
vey, gave him written obligation
pledging his sacred honor to pay him
some one hundred and thirty-seven
thousand dollars in certain contin-
gency, aUhich did Occar, but the pay
ment was repudiated? His Sacred
honor was not strong enough to hold
him.
6th.-Who came into the office OF
Governor finding innumerable rings
robbing the Treasury of the State and
plundering great municipalities like
Brooklyn? True, he had made great
ado about destroying the Canal Ring,
after the Legislature had determined
not to appropriate TO it another dollar
of money; but did he not do tenfold
more toward protecting the Printing
Ring the State Printing Ring and
the Brooklyn Ring than any of bis
predecessors had dared to do?
7th.-Who, in special Message dat.
ed March "a, 1875, recommended new
scheme of enlarging the Erie Canal,
at an expense to the Taxpayers of the
State of S5,000,O00, which is declared
by all the Democratic Canal Commits.
sioners utterly useless and absurd?
These are only a few of the ugly
questions which must be responded to
by Democrats if this man is made ouI
candidate. The thin disguise of re-
form would be stripped from him the
first ten days of the canvass.
Had Mr.. Tilden been other than
what he is now charged by the Re-
publicans, why the dread of these
questions by the Times, Mr.. Belmont,
Kelly and other leaders in the Demo
cratic party?
Honest voters, look at the charges
above made-made not by Republi-
cans but by a leading Democratic
newspaper in New York, located
where it knows Mr.. Tilden and all
his works too well for gushing admi-
ration. Is not the preponderauee OF
the testimony against Mr.. Tilden p
Can you trust him? Will you?

In 1864 Tilden helped to frame the
plank of the National Copperhead
platform which declared the war for
the preservation of the Union fail
ure. Tilden's Nebraska champion
Miller, in q public speech delivered at
Omaha on the 30th day of September
of the same year, made the following
declaration:
"IhiS Rebellion a0iU neUer be put
do,0n by tCdr. # the Union is eVer re-
stored, IL must be by concessions. "

time, who else could he consistently
