BEN. HILL, OF GEORGIA.
What the Senator Says OF the Wild
Freaks of Financial Relief
QuaCkS.

Senator Benjamin II. Hill lately
received an invitation to speak on
the pending political issues especial
" on the money question, at Barnes
vile, Ga, previous to the 18th inst,
but he has declined, pleading that as
the Democratic congressional con-
vention is to be held there on the
18th he fears a speech from him
would be constructed by some as an
attempt to influence the choice of a
candidate. He adds these observa-
tons:
'Allow me to say that the fnan-
cial issues which now seem to divide
us will soon be settled and we shall
be agreed. They will be settled as
they have been always settled under
like circumstances, and as they only
can be settled, by return to the
plain constitutional standard of coin
as money, and to a safe paper cur
rency, always equal to, because al
ways convertible into, coin. We
shall reach this result by industry,
by economy, by consequent reviving
business, and by the good common
sense of our honest people. Men
will then be astonished that they al.
lowed themselves to be deluded by
the wild theories of relief quacks
who are going to make everybody
rich by 'fat-money,'' instead of by
honest labor and economy. These
quacks have always appeared in times
of severe trials like those through
which our people have been and are
now passing, and have always dis
appeared when the trials were over.
We have had an unusual num-
Der of them, because ours is a popu-
lar form Of government and there is
a great number of Offices to be filled,
and a great many voters who are fit
subjects for de1usion. Twelve months
ago | did seriously fear that our coun-
try's return to a sound currency and
a healthy condition would be serious
". retarded by these noisy teachers Of
doctrines which no wise man ever
believed, and no prosperous people
ever adopted. But the crisis Of dan
ger has passed and my fears have
ceased. We shall soon laugh at the
extreme eccentricities of these ffnan-
cial teachers and at every man who
was SO thoughtless as to listen to
them. What fool l was to believe
it. will be the jocular self-reproach
of many an honest man. Two things
may now be safely predicted of the
future: The American people, with.
out sectional divisions or exceptions,
will return to a sound currency like
other sensible nations, and will pay
their national obligations like other
honest nations. We shall have first
good money, and next plenty Of it.
Money is good when every dollar of
it that is in circulation, whether of
silver or gold or paper currency, is
equal in purchasing power TO any
other doll ar in circulation

| DODGE CRY, Kan, Sept. 49,
The most intense excitement prevails
| here. Three hundred Indians at.
! tackled the ca tile camp Of Chapman
& futile, twenty miles from here,
and killed George Simmonds and a
man whose name is unknown. SIM
monds was in wagon and was liter
ally riddled with arrows and bullets.
The balance of the men fed in the
direction Of Dodge City, and were
hotly pursued by the Indians. A
few of them only reached here. The
horses of some of them were killed
and they were left on foot. Their
fate is uot known. The horses of
those who came in are nearly all
wounded.
A detachment of the 10Th infantry
from Fort Dodge are now boarding
the train to scout south from the
small station west and to endeayor
to prevent the Indians journeying
north. The number of Indians in
the vicinity Of the depredations is
estimated from three to eight hun
dred.
Lieut.. G.. Gardener of the 10Th in
fantry, reports that official informa-
ton by courier has just arrived stat.

companies of the Fourth cavalry,
had an engagement with the Indians
on the Cimarron, south about forty
miles, in which three men were killed
and three wounded. The soldiers
were surrounded and lost many men.
The fight was sharp, and the Indian
loss is unknown. The same courier
says two men and child were killed
near Sun City yesterday.
This afternoon at 1 o'clock the
Cheyennes burned farm house with
in two miles Of town. The farmer
and family saw them coming and fled.
The burning building could be seen
distinctly and the Indians were plain
y visible with the aid Of a glass.
The greatest excitement prevailed,
and women and childrens left their
homes to gather in the streets for pro-
lection. Guns and horses were hur-
ried]y gathered together and pursuit
given, but the Indians soon dissap-
peared over the hills. Engines at
once started east and west to notify
settlers Of the danger, and many
have come in for protection.
The Driskell party, who left on
Monday, have just returned. They,
with a company of the 4th cavalry,
