TROUBLE BEGAN.

The order issued from Washington
prohibiting Federal officials from tax
ing an active part in political meetings
has disrupted the Republican party, in
Mississippi. A State Convention was
held in that State last week. majority
of the delegates to which were office
holders. That majority endorsed the
policy of the Administration, not be-
cause they believed in it, but for the
reason that their bread and butter de-
pended upon their doing so. The
convention then resolved to nominate
no candidates for Office, and to Ap.
point no executive committee, as the
oficeholders, being debarred from act
ing as committeeman, there were not
sufficient outsiders to make up the
committees. This action virtually and
in fact actually disrupts the Republi-
can party in State which, under
Grants bayonet rule, was overwhelm-
ingly Republican. The same course will
be pursued in Georgia, and probably in
other Southern States. The Republi-
can party, therefore. ceases to. be in
name what it has long since ceased to
be in fact, and is no longer a national
party. Now the real trouble between
the Administration and the engineers
of the party begins. The order issued
by Hayes dissolves the party in many
of the States, and gives the Democracy
a solid South. and very nearly solid
North, as the party is rent in twain by
the President and a House divided
against itself cannot stand. Hayes is
doing bis level best to prevent q repi-
tition of the acts by which he was
counted in, and there is now no reason
able doubt of his success. He has Gre
ated dissentions. in the Republican
ranks; Ignored the engineers who ele-
waited him to the Presidency; and is en-
deavoring to. the best of his ability to
enforce the principles of the majority
as expressed at the ballot box last Ne
vember. and we wish him success in
the good work.

FOR GOVERNOR.

Republican journals in the western
part of the State have opened the cam
paign by nominating candidates for
election in, 1873. Among the names
mentioned for Governor is that of John
II. Kinkead. of UnionviIle. It, is, not
disparaging to the other candidates men
toned in connection with the governor
ship to say that there is not a moro
competent, honorable and upright gen.
tleman in the party than j. III. Kin
kead. He is one Of the pioneers of
Nevada and has resided in this county,
where he hos hosts of friends, the
greater part of the time for, several
years. We know of no Republican
whom we could more heartily endorse
for the governorship. yet we do not de-
sire to see him nominated, for it
would afford as no qualification to see
50 good man, aside from, his political
shortcomings, defeated, as he or any
other Republican 10 certain to be at the

Office went over $500 per ten. The
boys that own this claim are pushing
the work ahead with vigor, and think
they have as good property as the
Leopard ever was. The latter company

Sitting Bull in Canada - Am Ina

WASHINGTON. July ID.
Major Walsh, of the Canada mounted

near the head waters of Frenchman
creek Sitting Bull said he decided to
remain with the Canadians during the
summer, and that he would do nothing

he could not make living in Canada
he would return to the United States.

allowed ammunition for hunting pur-
poses and should any of their people
cross to the American side, and
commit any depredations the Chiefs
would be held responsible and pun
ished. The Canadian Indians are OPP
posed to having these hostile Sioux on
their side of the boundary line, as they.
are at war with them. The hostile In
dams have good supply of arms and
horses; but little or no ammunition.
No Indians can obtain ammunition
from traders in British territory with
out an order from tha. military, COM
mander. The Canada authorities look
upon the United States horses, mules
and arms in their possession as spoils
of war. It is believed there must be
some four or five hundred lodges of
hostiles Sioux now north of the
boundary line, numbering at least
1900 fighting men. They intend
moving. south of the Yellowstone.
