A Miners StOry-(iOld Plenty. and so are
Indians.

BURLINGTON, Ia, July 15.-C. w. Hans
come arrived here from Custer City to-day.
He says he left Custer City on the 2Sth of
June, and has come direct through. He says
the company of Hanscome, Cook s. Carter
were at work on dry gulch claim, which was
paying $40 per day to the man. On the Goth
of June the party were at work in the gulch
and had just received new hydraulic engine,
which they were fixing, when the claim was
jumped by Indians, who captured nine horses
and killed the following of the party: Carter,
w. A. Brown, VIM. Brown, Henry Brown,
Lowell Valentine, j. H. Huff and Page.
Hanscome and Cook cut their way through
the Indian circle and escaped. On returning
the next day they found their companions
terribly mutilated, and scalped also, and the
absence of 900 pounds of provisions. The
machinery was buried in the gulch, and Mr..
Hanscome started out with the remains Of
Mr.. Carter, and has forwarded them to Liver
pool, England. Cook remains to guard the
property until his return.
Mr.. Hanscome says the Hills are full of
rascals and bawdy-house gamblers, who trade
and sell ammunition to anybody, and he
thinks this is one way the Indians get am
munition. He says the men who 60 to work
can get good pay for it, and that the Hills are
rich with gold, but it can be got only by la
Dor and attention, with the means to buy ma

burlington Hawk-Eye.I

The other day dreamy young poet of
Burlington sat down with bundle of old
letters, ir stained envelopes with faded ad-
dresses, to write sad requiem over the days
that are dead He began:
Though we waken sad thoughts as sit here alone
will carefully lay you away.
For better the shadow of years that are gone
Than the cold garsh light of to-day.
And when he got that far he opened one Of
the letters for little inspiration and reads
SIR your bill fur drinks at this Bar is SIT 81
an has bin runnin munths and if not pade
this evenin will present the same to yure
onered father fur paymint. Resp. Abel
Ginsling," and then he sighed and laid away
the letters and didn't feel like finishing the
requiem that day.

Political Gossip.

New YORK, July 15-.The Connecticut
Republicans talk of nominating Jewell for
Governor, as the best method of emphasizing
the Republican divorce from Grantism.
Jewell has promised to stump Indiana for
Hayes and Wheeler.
The North Carolina Republicans having
nominated Judge Semld fof Governor, which
thorougly unites the party, express strong
hopes of carrying the whole November ticket.
Tilden and Hendricks both are at Saratoga
Springs, comforting on the Tilden letter Of
acceptance The difficulty is to ascertain
how Tilden can mix his hard money oil with
Hendricks soft water.
There IS much adverse criticism upon
Chandler holding the Chairmanship of the
National Republican Convention, while a
member of Grants Cabinet Strong appeals
are being made to him to resign the former
Advices from Alabama indicate that Sper-
GERS persistence in running the boiling Re
publican ticket there will give the Democrats
twenty majority in the State Legislature.
Ben Woods, editor of the Charleston
Neus, reports that since the recent massacre
at Hamburg, the condition of the negroes, is
that of terrified submission. The same jour-
nal says two of the bodies of the negroes
were mutilated with hatchets or bayonets,
and that nearly all the killed had families,
and the glief and distress of the women and
children were violent and heartrendlng
Such statements from leading Tilden Journ-
alist of the South are doing more than the
Cincinnati platform to excite Northern SEN
timent in favor of the Republican party,
pledged to secure to all citizens protection.

The Famous .'Feacc'' Platform.

The fact that Mr. s. j. Tilden was chair
man of the platform committee OF the
Chicago convention in 1864, which put forth
the famous peace PLATFORM" pronouncing
the war a failure, and demanding an i'm
mediate cessation Of hostilities, seems to have
been strangely forgotten by the northern
politicians who propose to present him as a
presidential candidate at St. Louis. 1t is
best that that fact should be recalled before
the entrance upon programme so stupid :;
for it would certainly not lack plenty of
advertising of the proposed step.
We copy from the record of the Democratic
national convention of 1854, as follows:
''Mr. Tilden, of New York, offered the
following resolution:
"Iesolced That committee of one dele
gate from each State, to be selected by the
delegation thereof, be appointed to report
! resolutions, and that all resolutions in rela-
ton to platform for the Democratic party
be referred to said committee without de-
bate.
The resolution was adopted, and the com
mittee appointed as follows:
Mane-Joh w. Dana.
New Hampshire-Edwin Pease.
Connecticut-Ch Charles r. Ingersoll.
Rhode Island-Charles s. Bradley
Massachusetts, George Lunt.
Vermont-T. B. Red6eld.
New York-Samuel J. Tilden.
New Jersey-Abraham Browning.
Pennsylvania-Geo W. Cass.
Delaware-Charles Brown.
Maryland-Thomas G. Pratt.
Kentucky-James Guthrie.
Ohio-Clement L. Valandigham.
Indiana-James M. Hanna.
Illinois-S. s. Marshal.
Michigan-Augustus B. Baldwin.
Wisconsin-George B. Smith.
Minnesota-E. O. Hamlin.
Missouri VIM. A. Hall.
Iowa.. F. Bates.
California-John B. Weller.
Oregon-Benjamin Stark.
Kansas-Wm G. Mcdowell.
The platform adopted by this committee
consisted of six resolutions. The fist one
was declaration of "unswerving fidelity to
the union under the constitution. The second
one was in the following words, namely:
Res0lued, That this convention does expllcl-
tly declare, as the sense of American people
that after four years of failure to restore the
Union by experiment of war-during which,
under the pretense Of military necessity or
war power higher than the constitution, the
constitution itself has been disregarded IN
every part, and public liberty and private
right alike trodden down, and the material
prosperity of the country essentially impaired,
Justice, humanity, liberty, and the puoilc
welfare demand that immediate efforts be
made for cessation of hostilities with a
view to an ultimate convention of the States,
or other peaceable means, to the end that at,
the earliest practicable moment peace may
be restored on the basis of the Federal
States.
The fact that Mr. Tilden was the foremost
member of the committee which brought
forth this burial platform of the Democratic
party would not seem to encourage any reason
able expectation of his election to the presl-
dency against such man as Governor Hayes.

He was sentenced to- pay a fine of one
hundred dollars, and not having that

was committed to Jail for fifty days. in
default OF payment. The sentence is a
somewhat severe one for the offense
committed, but is fully justified by the
fact that Mr.. Kern is given to kicking
up this kind of Robbery and was in ur-
gent need of a salutary lesson.
