Wyoming Republican Platform.

Resolved, That upon all questions of
national concern, we cordially endorse
and adopt the platform of principles
recited by the National Republican
Convention held at Cincinnati, and we
earnestly desire the election of the NOM
inees of that convention to the offices
of President and Vice-President of the
United States, respectively, believing
that such a result would in the present
aspect of affairs be the only safe guar
anty Of the permanency of the American
Union and the prosperity of every sec
ton of our common country.
Resolved, That we favor home-rule
and self-government in the Territories,
and in the filling of all offices therein,
including the important office of Dele
gate in Congress, with honest and COM
petent citizens, selected from actual and
bona tide residents Of the Territory;
Resolved, That the Introduction of
Chinese labor into this country is
fraught with serious and dangerous
consequences to that system of free Ia
Dor to which the Republican party has
ever been committed and that we
condemn every system and policy in
the Government which deprives la
Dor of its dignity; and that the i'm
p~ortation of Cinnamon to this coun-
try has driven out Of employment
a large class of native and foreign-born
citizens; and that it retards theprogress
and development of the territories; and
that we highly commend the action of
the National Republican Convention
in calling upon Congress to investigate
the effect of Chinese immigration upon
the laboring classes of this country,
and that the prompt action of Congress
in the matter meets our hearty appro-
val. ~
Resolred, That we utterly and I'M
qualifedly condemn the whole Indian
policy of the United States-s0 far as
relates to the practice of making
treaties with these savage and barbarous
tribes-as inconsistent with the soyer-
eighty of the government and as being
puerile in policy and a failure in results.
We therefore ask for such changes
in the policy of the government
respecting Indian affairs, as will sub
ject these sayages at all times to the
efficient and absolute control of the ma
ton, and will at the same time destroy
the Indian ring, its aiders and abet-
tors
Resolved, That we return thanks to
President Grants administration fol
the important steps taken to rid the
northern part of this Territory of our
old enemies, the Sioux, and that We
cordially approve of its Indian policy a:
now being carried out by Genera
Crook and the brave officers and soldiers
of his command; 9I
Resolved, That it is the duty of the
government to open to exploration and
settlement every acre Of the public
domain, and that settlers upon the
public lands of the United States shoult
have full protection and every en-
couragement, wherever they may be
We, therefore, believe it to be the dut.

The N. Y. Times editorially says that
the persistent announcements made by
Tilden organs that he looks rosy and in
good health and spirits give point to
the warning which opponents of his
nomination uttered before the st. Louis
convention, that if elected he would
not survive the first year of his term.

PROBABLE MURDER.
A Man Morally Wounded in the Barrel
House "Negro 81. Charles"

Last evening, about half-past Q CLOCK,
a difficulty took place in the parrei
house known as the Negro st. Charles,
at the corner Of Baronne ana Peroldo
streets, between two colored men,
named Chas. Rudolph, alias Cloy, anu
John B. Kellar, alias Kelly, which ter
minated in the former being stabbed
and MORALLY wounded in the left side OF
the abdomen, with q dirk knife In the
hands of the latter. Our reporter re-
haired TO the scene of the encounter
n nd CLEANED the following particulars
It appears that Rudolph was In the
gambling room of the barrel house
when Kellar entered the barroom. ana
meeting negro there named DAVIS
requested him to lend him ten cents,
which Davis refused. Kellar theh
walked into the gambling room, where
he met Rudolph, and made the same
request. He was also answered In the ne-
gatiye. Kellar thereupon slapped
Rudolph's face. Rudolph Immediately
drew pair of brass knuckles and made
for Kellar. who ran out OF the door
into the street, and after few minutes
returned Finding Rudolph at the par
taking a drink with some friends he de-
liberately walked up to him and plunged
a dirk knife into the left side OF MS

Municipal Court named Stewart, ana
was going to lock him up. when the
wounded man requested the officer TO
turn him loose, that he would not pros

and thus the would-be murderer was
allowed to go scot free.
The wounded man was conveyed 70

ADJUSTMENTS.

Sr. CHARLEs.-The st. Charles had
assembled a large audience last night 10
witness "Enoch Arden" as acted by Mr..
Edwin Adams. This gentleman has &C
1uired such national reputation that
Il is hardly necessary to state anything
more than that his mere presence ut a
theatre is sufficient to attract large
houses, and last night was no exception.
ACADEMY or MUSIC Kelly and Icons
refined and artistic burlesque and comic
opera troupe are entoying unprece-
harvest at the Academy crowded
houses greet them every night. To-day
there Will be an entire change or pro-
gramme at both the matinee and night
performances. The troupe Is here for o
two weeks stay, and will give us before
leaving the choicest gems among the
opera bouffes. OF this unequalled COM
pany the Baltimore Sun says
No one could desire q better minstrel
performance than that Of Kelly and
Leon, and could not get 1t II they did.
The ballads Of Edwin Kelly, Clinton
and Surridge will never grow old, and
are beautifully sung, while the comical
songs OF the end men and their stories
and conundrums are witty and fresh.
'"The Only Leon" Is a complete artist as
an impersonator Of female parts. His
costumes, active style and voice are all
as perfect as talent and experience can
make them. Norma on the Hall
She'll" ending by tossing Norma in a
blanket, created the greatest amuse--
ment. Edwin Testers solos and
songs were admirably executed, and the
songs and dances of Walters and Nor
ton were often encored. The musical
comedy Of His Grace, the Duke" con-
cluded a performance bright, funny and
free from all vulgarity. They deserve
the best patronage.
GLOBE THEATRE. usual olio and
variety performance, SO familiar and
yet SO necessary to the habitues of the
Globe, was given last night, and will be
repeated, with additions, in to-day's
matinee and night performance.

MURDER.
The Body Of Reuben Dixon Found on North
Market street with his Throat Cut.
Arrest Of the Supposed Murderer.

Again we are called upon to chronicle
one OF those bloody deeds that have
been so frequent upon our streets OF late.
This time the assassin carries out
his murderous mission at midnight
when he thinks the world asleep,
and that It presents a larger field for
his escape, and It was not until this
morning, between the hours OF 8 and .
\ o'clock, that the foul deed was discovt
cred byOfflcer Collens, when he beheld
the dead body Of Ruben Dixon, on
North Market street, between Fulton
and Peters, wcltering In his LIES blood,
which was ebbing from CHASTITY wounds
in the neck and abdomen. Fora while the
whole affair appeared to be wrapped in
mystery; but murder will out, and 1t
was found that this horrible crime had
been committed by Henry Woods, now
in custody, during fit of jealousy.
Three other parties were arrested and
locked up-named John Richardson,
Sam Williams and Henrietta Harris-as
witnesses.
Our reporter interviewed Henrietta
Harris, who stated that she was In her
room, which was right opposite to the
spot where the body Of the murdered
man was found; that at IL o'clock
Monday night, while in her room
with Woods, the deceased came in.
He Immediately started to quarrel with
Woods, when they both started down
stairs. She did not see them any more
until she heard of the murder this
morning, but is certain that Woods kill
ed Dixon.
Henry Woods was arrested by Officer
p. Ford and locked up in the Central
Station. He was afterward brought be-
fore Judge Adams and sent to the
Parish Prison, without the benefit Of
bail, to wait the Coroner'sinquest.
