We have just learned, through trust
worthy source, that two former citizens of
Hunterdon County-one of whom had a fam
ily-were murdered in Kansas by the Chey-
enne Indians in the late outbreak. The saw
ages left their reservation, in the northwest
corner of the Indian Territory, about the 23d
of September, and went through Kansas en-
route for their old home in the Yellowstone
country. On their way they butchered about
forty settlers, among whom were George
johnson and family, formerly of GAINESVILLE,
and Nelson Bum, formerly farmland of
Joseph G. Exton. Mr.. johnson and family
left this section last Spring, and settled in
Kansas, and shortly after he sent for Bnnn.-

DEATH OF HENRY T. DARLINGTON. Hen
ry t. Darlington, editor of the Bucks Co. In
tet5igencer, died quite suddenly at his resi-
dence in Doylestown, on last Sunday morn
ing at clock. He was taken on Saturday,
while standing in front of the Court House,
with an attack of apoplexy, and was carried
to his home. He did not regain conscious
ness.
Mr.. Darlington was man of excellent bus
mess ability, an editor of firm convictions and
clear perceptions, and bis paper was remark
ably prosperous and influential under his con-
troll. As man he was generous, affable and
honorable; and deeply interested in every
thing that promoted the social, business and
moral interests of the community in which he
lived. His death is serious loss tc the press
aud to the community.

Deep mystery still surrounds the circnm-
stances of the Stewart grave robbery in New
York The repeated assertions that the rob
bers had been detected and the body recover
ed prove to be without substantial foundation,
though some Of the New York papers still
cling TO the idea that Judge Hilton and the
police authorities know much more about the
case than they are willing to make public
Others allege that nothing definite has been
learned of the movements of the robbers after
they got outside of the cemetery. Judge Hill
ton has offered a new reward Of $4,000 for
the arrest and conviction of the grave-rob-
bers, or $4,000 for any one Of them--bis
hope being that under such temptation one or
more may be induced to betray the others
As yet the mystery is as inscrutable as that
which hides from US the fate OF. Charley Ross.

The most significant demonstration of Il

The most significant demonstration of the
elections is the fact that the States which
were carried by the Republicans in October
and November cast 213 electoral votes, while
those carried by the Democrats cast only 1856.
Thus it appears that if a President had been
voted for this year the Republican candidate
would have clear majority of 81 votes in the
Electoral College. The Solid South has with
it now only the States of Indiana, Oregon and
Missouri. The Solid North could lose New
Jersey and Connecticut, and still win by thir-
teen majority. 1t could lose Ohio and Con-
necticut and win by one majority. But there
is now no probability that either of these
States will return to the Democracy in 1880.
The issues which rallied them to the Republi-
can side will be the issues Of the campaign in
1880.

was served at Mr.. Murray's table and was

words "There is no thought of disfran-

vote, as they will hereafter vote with the De-

of DISTINGUISHING them when they want to
vote the Republican ticket The colored
voters of the South have perfect liberty to do
as the Democrats demand--but nothing else.

The news from across the water is that Eng
land is entering upon Winter that will be
terrible in its effects upon thousands of fam
lilies. Factory workers and miners are all in
the same plight, business being so dull that
employers have to reduce wages to the lowest
point or stop altogether. Merchants and man
ufacturers are failing every day, and there is
no prospect for improvement. American pro-
ducts of every kind are driving out British
manufactures and thus making times worse
