HoT CREEK, Wyoming, Sept. TO-
The stage coaches il both directions
were stopped about twelve O'Clock las,
night between Lightning creek and
Cheyenne river by three armed men.
The up coach contained two passengers
and had one messenger along with it.
They first halted the down coach, rob-
bed all the passengers, and were engag-
ed in opening the mail sacks when the
north bound coach arrived, which they
also stopped, and, after robbing the
two passengers, proceeded to Gu, and
rob the mails. They broke open the
treasure boxes and took the contents
but it is thought that they got less
than one hundred dollars in money
from the passengers, and from whom
they took jewelry and watches, also one
watch from the driver and one rom the
messenger, Smith, who remain ed in the
coach after the passengers got out in
tending to stand One of the thieves
placed passenger in front of him,
and Smith was forced to give up or kill
the passenger. They also took away

In Maine, the successful candidate
for governor is required, BY law, to
have a majority of votes over all the
candidates in the field. At the late
election there were three candidates, q
Republican. a Democrat, and a Green
hacker. The Republican candidate re.
ceived the largest vote; he received
nearly 1000 votes more than the Re
publican governor las. year, but with
all that large increase be did not have
a majority over both the Democrat and
GreeDbacker. The latest dispatch rel
ative to the vote for governor stands,
Republican, $4,000; Democrat, Co.,
600; Greenback, $4,000 The elec-
tion of governor goe. to the House Of
Representatives. That body will con-
sist as follows: 65 Republicans, 2
Democrats elected by Republicans, q
Democrats and 81 Greenbackers. Thir-
teen on, of the ~ Democratic Repre-
senta,ives we're chosen on the straight
Democratic ticket over both Republi-
can and Greenback candidates and will
held the balance of power III the House.
The other ii were chosen by Green
back aid. The Congressional question
is not clearly stated, but such Congress-
men as were elected are Republicans
and Greenbackers

NOTHING that the late Democratic
Congress did alarmed the North to
such degree, as the filing of South
ern claims to the amount of three
hundred millions Of dollars, at Wash
ington, last winter. 1t clearly proved
to the country that there is a deep
seated purpose to have the claims of
the South paid by the National Gov
ernment. The Democrat and Register
last week took issue with us on the
question of the payment of the South
ern claims, and declared that it can
not be, that there is Constitutional
provision against the payment of
such claims The Democrat and Reg
lister has forgotten that the very pro-
vision that it quotes as a barrier
against such payment, was time and
again declared unconstitutionally
adopted. 1t was adopted by two
thirds of the Legislatures of the
States, but the Democratic party
always maintained that it was not
SOhPiOtSiy atoptCu pccduSc III udu
not been ratified by the people at the
polls, hence it is not constitutional.
Again, they declared it unconstitu-
tional because it was, they say, forced
on the country during the war
Again, what regard for a constitu-
tional provision have men who en-
gagged in a rebellion for which there
was no constitutional provision. Such
people care not for constitutional
barriers, and just so soon as they get
the power they will pass the claims
that are on file for payment, and mil
lions more that are kept in the back
ground, and that is not all of it /;
when that day comes, the Democrat
and Register will fall in and tell it's
readers that it was a war between
brothers, and that if it is right that
the debts of the North shall be paid,
it is right that the debts of the South
shall also be paid by the Nation. If
you desire to help pay the Southern
claims vote in such way that Con-
gress will be filed up with Demo
cratic Congressman.

POLITICAL NOTES.
FROM EXCHANGES.

From every point General Hancock
seems to be looming up as the Demo-
cratic leader for 1880.
The latest novel and original depart
ure of any Democratic squad is the
nomination of full-blooded negro to
an Office in Clark county, Ohio.
Chairman Speer's speeches are very
"telling." He talks of biblical incl
dents, cedars of Lebanon, pool of Sloan
but never ventures a word upon
Dill's votes for corpora ions, nine mil.
lion bills, cattleyaId monopolies, &c.
And yet Chairman Speer is a telling
orator. What does be know about sal.
ary grabbing,
The Greenback Democrat who de-
feated Hale for Congress in the Fifth
Maine district, boasts that be is a
bankrupt, and was never able to make
a living for himself; also that he never
went to school. His constituents ought
to feel proud of that fellow.
