The new Indian war in Oregon has
taken a decidedly serious shape. The
sharp fight with the Nez Perces savages
in White Bird Canon, mentioned in
this mornings dispatches, promises to
have an ending as calamitous as was
the Custer massacre. This war will as
sumo no such proportions as the Sioux
war OF last summer, because the hostile
savages in the disturbed region are not
so numerous as the warriors Of the
Black Hills reservation, The Indians
of the Pacific Slope, however, though
far from being 50 finely developed ply
sically, as the tribes of the plains, are
much more desperate fighters, and this
Oregon war may turn out to be Modoc
affair on large scale.

TO THE SUMMER TOURIST.

Those OF our citizens who are fortunate enough
to be able to seek respite from the labors Of the
business season just closed, and to reeuperate
their energies at some OF the many delightful
summer resorts to be found in the Northern
States and Canada, will be glad to learn that the
old favorite Jackson route, under vigorous and
efficient management. has become one OF the
very best travelling thorougbfares In the country.
Hundreds Of thousands OF dollars have been
expended, as we are credibly informed, during
the past twelve months for new iron and steel
rails. new cross-ties and new bridges, and to- day
II may be safely said that no road south of the
Ohio river surpasses the great Jackson route In
smoothness and perfect safety. We have had
occasion, during The past few weeks, TO travel
quite extensively over that road, and we can thus,
from actual experience, bear witness to its ex-
celence in every particular which goes TO copsti-
tute good road.

SHOULD like to hear their explanation Of
what appears to have been most brutal
conduct on the part OF the conductor of
the train which arrived here Sunday
forenoon, toward the unfortunate ma
riners who were shipwrecked on the
steamer Lizzie. We have been anxious
to hear their side Of the story be-
fore commenting on the affair,
az we have no desire to un-
justly prejudice our readers against
them; but they seem to be little slow
In explaining. The Constantinople cor
respondent OF the Cincinnati Enquirer
says that every American minister
abroad considers 1t his duty to receive
all persons calling themselves Amer.
lean citizens az confidence men and
thimble-riggers. Do the conductors Of
trains on the Mobile road consider Ii
their duty to treat all shipwrecked and
otherwise distressed people, whom un-
toward fate has placed In the unfor-
tunate predicament In which the men
OF the steamer Lizzie found themselves,
as dead-beats and would-be swlndlers?
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-06-20

Our dispatches inform us that the
President has issued a proclamation
providing for the sale, on October 1, Of
large tracts OF government land In
Arkansas. In Mondays DEMOCRAT we
informed our readers that, in eonse-
quenoe OF the repeal OF the homestead
act" of June u, 1866, such sales would
be made In the fall In the States Of
Arkansas, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana
and Mississippi. As soon as the list Of
vacant government lands In this State
is completed, similar proclamation
will be issued In regard to Louisiana.
and the mill-men Of Ca1casieu will be
able to purchase pine lands and pursue
their business without molestation from
Federal timber agents.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-06-20

For enjoyable and entertaining read
ing we commend Southern Democrats
to the Northern papers OF the ultra
Radical persuasion. 1t is amusing to
note their unappeasable wrath at the
disenthralment OF the South. They GO
30 far In their anger and bitterness as
to even lavish objurgations upon ''the
fathers" for not having provided in the
constitution some mode whereby the
Federal government might exercise un-
limited control over the domestic affairs
OF the States. To judge from their COM
plant one might almost entertain a
doubt as to ours being "the best govern
ment the sun ever shone upon,"
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-06-20

We are glad to know, as will be- seen
by reference to another column, that
there is soon to be established In this
city an office OF the Atlantic and Pacific
Telegraph Company, a corporation
whose lines extend throughout the
United States. This company proposes
to transmit kilograms at rates fifty per
cent less than those now charged. and
that fact alone will commend it to the
patronage of the commercial interests
or the CITY.
