rings not only rob the farmers who sell the

They steal at both ends of the line-from
the -four purchasers of Minnesota is stolen
an amount equal to the cost of freight tn
the Eastern markell not more; say an
average of one dollar per barrel. And as
five bushels of wheat make on an average
one barrel of -four, these swindling con-

cents per bushel on every bushel ground
into -four, and sold to Minnesota purchasers.
10 expose the magnitude of the Milers' as
ISOLATION swindle, this steal from home flour
purchasers shonld be added to the aggregate
stolen from the farmers by their bulldozing,
and grading and measuring "little JOKER
manipulations.
The aggregate of these gigantic steals
from both home farmers, who Sc !, and home
flour consumers, who buy, mounts up to
millions Of dollars per annum-millions of
dollars actually stolen from the people of
this State!!
hope, Mr.. Editor, you will expose and
reprobate this -four swindle, with as much
force as you did the wheat grading swindle.
Some readers of this may imagine that
competition among millers who may wish to
find home market for their flour, would
force down the home price by selling their
flour in Minnesota at the figures it is sold
for in New York and other Eastern cities,
Tess the cost Of freight. But the Millers' as
ISOLATION of Minneapolis and the State, of
which the great Washburn mills are the full
crum, are powerful enough to crush out of
sight any mill that has attempted or may at
tempt any such honest interference with
their wholesale combination robbery. Their
double barrelled association shoots down
all Independent competitors who at
tempt to purchase wheat from cur farm
ers above the price they agrae to pay.
as we'll as shoot down all Independent COM
petitors, who may attempt to sell flour to the
people of Minnesota at prices below what
hey agree to e1tort. Is it not about time

barrels of this piratical gun? Yours,

Wnshbasrn a Member of the Ring,


Still the sswheat ring" war goes on, much
that is true and much that is false being
said on both sides. Washburn's managers
make a great mistake in denying that he is a
member of the Millers' association, for the
reason that the denial is not only bubble
but tacitly admitting that membership
therein is anything but an honor. The Mil
lers' association is stock company, each
mill having IS many shares at ST 500 each as
it has runs of stone. Tho Washburns have
the largest milling interests in the city. The
Washburn mill is owned by Washburn,
Crosby q Co., the partners being c. G.
Washburn, w. D. Washburn and John
Crosby, which mill is represented on the
board of managers by Mr.. Crosby. Don't
dodge, gentlemen; if you are the benefac-
tors of the farmers let not mo2esty keep

THE TENsAS TROUBLE.
The Reported Fight and Slaughter of Ne
Eroes Greatly Exaggerated Statement of
the Origin and Outcome of the Trouble
by an Eve Witness.


NATcHEz, Miss. Oct. 1.-THE following ac-
count of the trouble in Tensas parish, will APP
pear tomorrow morning in the Natchez Demo-
crat: We have what we believe to be- accurate
information in reference to the disturbances in
Tensss parish. Reports which have been circu-
lated SO extensively have been extravagantly
exaggerated. On Monday last negroes in large
numbers passed through Waterproof on their
way to mass meeting some miles above town,
and in passing through some of them
were very insulting and threatening
in their language. The citizens of Waterproof
doubtless had good cause for apprehension, and
messenger was sent to this city asking for aid
to save the lives and honor of women and
children and the pro- erty of the town. A
meeting at once assembled at the armory of the
Light Infantry, and under the advice of the
most prudent men in the community, COM
pany of persons to the number of about 100
volunteered to go to Waterproof end learn the
true state of affairs, prepared. if necessary, to
otect lives and property. steam ferrybo
was provided, and all the party left about IL
clock, and reached Sargent landing about
daybreak. Here a cannon was fired to announce
their approach to the people of Waterproof
some three miles distant. Several persons from
the shore came to the boat and the pleasing in
formation WAS obtained that there probably
was no need for armed assistance. To thor
oughly satisfy themselves, however the party
proceeded to Waterproof with their boat, where
they were met by the authorities of the town,
and the information received at Sargent was
confirmed. At the urgent invitation of the
people of the town part of the command
went ashore and were entertained during por-
ton of the day, and returned last night at
about IL o'clock.
The editor of this paper used every effort to
satisfy himself in regard to the facts, and he
found nothing to induce him to believe any
negroes had been killed. Three persons were
| found in the house of Fairfax Saturday last,
where Capt. Peck was fired upon and killed,
two of whom thought to be mortally
wounded. There is no evidence that any fight
had occurred other than the one which took
place at Fairfax. The gin house on the Burns
place owned by Moss & Wise, was burned and
with it some 60 or 70 bales of cotton.
When the party from this city arrived and a
blank charge was fired from six FOUNDER, the
greatest CONSERVATION prevailed among the ne
groes in the parish, but when they found out
who composed the party and from whence they
came, they seemed much relieved, and very
glad to find they were from Natchez.
Our conclusion from what we have personal
! ly seen is-that while the colored people of Ten.
sas parish and some of the adjoining parishes
have acted in such an imprudent and threaten
ing manner as to cause serious apprehensions
on the part Of the people of the parish, there
has been no probability at any time of seri

chair IN full command OF all my resources for

tifcates, said these certificates obtained for
Republican electors who had not been chosen

tors who had been chosen by the peopIe-these
false and fraudulent certificates now confessed
and proved to have been obtained by corrnnt
inducements-were made the pre.ext for tax
ing from the people their rightful choice for
the Presidency and vice presidency. These
certificates were declared by the tribunal to
which Congress had abdicated the function
of deciding the count of disnpted
electoral votes, to be an absolute and
indisputable Conveyance of title to the chief
magistracy of the nation. The State of Florida
which had united all her executive. legislative
and judicial powers to testify to Congress long
before the count, who We're her genuine agents
which had by the statute caused a recanyass
the issue Of new certificates, and formal
sovereign Authorization of the right, true
electors to deposit the votes to be counted. was
held to be incapable of communicating to Con-
gress a fact which everybody knew, and which
cannot now be disputed. Congress, though
vested by the constitution with authority to
count the electoral votes, though unrestricted
either as to the time when it should receive
evidence. and as to the nature of that evidence
and though subject to no appeal
from its decisions, was declared to have no
power to guide its own count by any infor-
nation it could obtain, or by any
authority which it might accept from the
wronged and betrayed States whose vote was
about to be falsifcd. The monstrous conclu-
sion was thus reached that the act of one man
holding deciding vote in board of State can
vassers-for without his concurrence the frauds
of other returning boards would have failed
in giving certificates, known at the time and
now by himself confessed to be false and fraud
ulent, and confessed to have Leen obtained by
promise of office-certiicates whose character
was known months before Congress could be-
gin the count-must prevail over all remedial
powers of the State of Florida and the Con-
gress of the United States combined, and must
dispose Of the chief magistracy of this repub-
lie.

Our Grain Yield,

A few years since it was the custom
with the merchants and traders Of Portland
and San Francisco to decry this couatry,
AMI refer it as a sandy desert, doomed to
eternal desolation. Now they 20 of on
the other tack and overrntc It, As an H.
lustration, they talk Of the country east o I
tho mountains marketing, this year, ten
million bushels Of wheat. This is simply
absurd. We have the land to produce four
times ten million bushels but it is not
occupied, and the people to cultivate the
land are not here. 1t is quite sure that the
yield of this season will be greatly in excess
Of that Of last year, and possibly will foot
up between two and three million bushels.
This estimate doubles the figures OF la3t
year, and certainly speaks well for the
progress already made. With the immi.
grafton now coming In, we may calculate,
with u favorable season, in 1870 TO marke,
ten million bushels, and after that year il
is safe to say that the Columbia River val
ley will take rank MS the greatest grain

Just now our friends abroad are placing
their figures too high. but in year or two

timatrs.-W W. Sta tesman.
