A correspondent writes as follows from
Berlin OF Prince Bismarck: HE lives gen.
orally at the Rad1will Palace, which has
lately been purchased BY the German govern
ment, and added to the old Foreign Office
next door. At the back is large garden,
called here Park and recently cut off from
the Tnier Garten, or Bois de Boulogne of
Berlin. It is surrounded by high
g walls, .tfN and the the great Chancellor, when
over by the police, and protected by
his now celebrated dog, large, smooth, black
boarhound, which has succeeded the famous
Sultan who was poisoned by the Social
Democrats. The Prince hardly ever ventures
into the streets Of Berlin, and, indeed, comes
to the capital as little as possible. In CONVEX
sation his manner is frank and cordial; he
talks of English books as one who has read
most of them; and he seems to be possessed of
a Thoroughly encyclopaedia mind. It is his habit
after dinner to stroll upon the terrace at the
back of his palace, and to puff volumes of
smoke from an enormous china pipe with
long cherry stick stem. I do not know
whether his two sons are possessed of any of
his intellectual powers; but they have in
herited, at any rate, their fathers vigorous
and massive frame"

The Fears subs1dIng at ne m phIs-A Rigid
Quarantine To ne Maintained

MEMPHIS, July 29.-The steamer John B.
Maude, of the St Louis and Vicksburg line,
arrived from Nicksburg this morning, and
brings reliable intelligence from the yellow
fever, infected t0wboat John Porter. The
Maude's officers say they passed the Porter
tied to the bank about eighty miles above
Vicksburg and that the Port Eads was the
towbOat which passed Helena yesterday,
which the Helenaites supposed was The Porter
rigid quarantine has been established on
the river here. All boats from New Orleans
will have to go through the ordeal of quaran-
tine, 1t stands to reason that this is all
humbug, since crowds Of people, baggage and
goods are arriving here by the various rail-
way routes every day, the people being
mostly citizens OF New Orleans fleeing the
scourge prevailing there.
Our board of health and physicians gen.
orally are sanguine of security to Memphis,
since they claim that they are perfectly pre-
pared for any emergency, and the city Is in
better sanitary condition than the yellow
plague found it in 1878. The panic has en-

PROSPECT OF A CONTEST BETWEEN THE TWO
FACTIONS OF THE DEMOCRATS.

Judge Hudspeth, the present District
Judge OF the St. Landry district, who was
elected as an indeDendent Democrat by 29OO
majority over the last ditch candidate is in
the city and called on his old personal friend,
Tom Anderson, at the CustOm-HOuss vester-
day, when q Times reporter met him and in
terVleWGd him on St. Landry politics.
Inc parish Democratic convention meets,
Saturday TO elect sixteen delegates to the
Baton Rouge convention, There is an exciting
contest pending, and the two factions have
two full sets Of delegates in the field The
line of deLnaTcatiOn is substantially the same
as heretofore. One faction call themselves
Conservatives, and the others claim to be
simon pure Democrats, or White League OF
Last Ditchers The Conservative ticket con-
tains the names of Senator Fl. L. Garland.
Judge Bailey formerly Congressman ex-
Speaker Estiette, District Attorney Perro-
an, and other men who are we'll known out
side tbe parish. It Is also supported by Spna-
tor Robertson, Judge Hudspeth, and other
leading men.
Many OF THESE Conservatives were formerly
called Tom Anderson Democrats, but while
no shadowy cloud can sever their personal
friendship for him, they do not now proclaim
him as their leader This faction Is opposed
to O. constitutional convention, while the op-
poSite faction. led by Mr.. Lewis, supports it.
st. Landry Is q great parish, prolific Of
great men, and will have q number of aspf-
rants for Congressman RObertgon's place Be-
fore the district convention.
We cannot believe that any such interview
as the one reported above took place. There
has been no line Of demarkation in this
parish between factions calling themselves
Conservatives on the one side, and White
Leaguers on the other. In many localities
only one ticket WAS placed in the field,
and In others when two tickets appeared
they were simply divided on men and not
principles, men who were White Leaguers
being run on both tickets. We declare EN-
phatically that there is but one party in ST.
Landry opposed to Radicalism and that is
the Democratic party pure and simple, not
withstanding the reported interview Of the
Times reporter with Judge Hudspeth to the
contrary.
Since writing the above, Sheriff Duson has
received a letter from Judge Hudspeth, In
which the reported interview is branded as q
fabrication.

THE INDIAN WARS.
Assertions Tina the Rs dskIns Are Inspired
BY the Norm Church.
IN. Y. Tribunal


WASHINGTON, July 22-rhe exact facts
with regard to the origin Of Indian wars, even
with regard to their results are usually diff
cult to reach, and all reports on the subject.
including even those from official sources.
must be interpreted In the light Of the Dar-
ticular interests which inspire their authors.
In nearly every encounter with the
savages they have been found to be quite as
well equipped with the modern AMI improved
implements Of warfare as have our own SOL
ders, and great pains have been taken from
time to time to discover the source of their
supply. The following letter from Daniel
Alexander, commissioner at Ogden City, In
Utah, dated July, lets in little light upon
the subject:
The object Of this letter Is to give you some
official information relative to the traffic In
ammunition which is carried on by the CO.
operative stores to the lndians. The coop
priesthood, Ny informers, the Deputy
United States Marshal here and others, tell
me this traffic Is carried on daily, and, be-
yond doubt, by all similar institutions all
over the Territory and in Southern Idaho at
the following places where cooperative stores
exist: Malade City, Soda Springs and Paries.
those places are directly on the Indian bor-
ddoFs.
missionaries among the Indians The latter
are converted to MOrmOnism and taken
through the Endowment House, where they
(the Indians) pledge themselves to support
Gle pFlsSLnOOdJ OF, as Bney are C8Ile0 Dy the
MormOns, "Our battle-axes." Therefore al
most every Indian war is carried on directly
or indirectly by this priesthood, and there
fore this traffic of ammunition. The great
aim Of the priesthood is to intimidate nom
Mormons from settling the valleys any
where within five hundred miles Of
Salt Lake, for the purpose Of keeping the
lands vacant until, by the natural and steady
and rapid growth of Mormonism. the priest
hood can colOnize the unoccuDied regions.
The so-called masonry that binds all tribes
together, so often referred to by the press Of
the United States, emanates from the End0w-
ment Temple at Salt Lake. where the secret
work and the endowment garments are given
them.
The so-called friendly Indians are always
carrying information and ammunition to the
hOstiles. AS this is as serious as costly. I
deem 1t my duty to report the same to you,
and il there is no law to stop the sale Of ann
munitlon to the Indians, | suggest for the
President to issue a proclamation In which to
prohibit the sale of ammunition and firearms
to the Indians during the time of hostility. II
our Governor of this Territory should be alive
to the interests he should represent am GER
tain this traffic could not be carried on as ex-
tensively as 1t is.

Assessing Clerks.
LSt. Louis Rannhlican.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Two weeks ago the
Republican congressional committee had
made very poor headWay in the matter of
campaign subscriptions by clerks in the de-
partments. An example was made of clerk
named Waddell, who was discharged for re-
fusing to pay his assessments. The commit
tee became bOlder, and resorted to the old plan
OF calling for assessment in person, and, II re-
fused, to take the clerks resignation. This
policy had been to an extent in2ugurated in
all the departments except that Of the Inte-
rior. 1t is now settled that even in this de-
partment the blackmaiIers are calling in per-
son on employees, despite Mr. Sehurz recent
letter prohibiting it.

Editor Democrnt-The resolution of our pa-

meets with hearty response generally, but
more particularly wherever the Governor is
personally known. You have, doubtless, OBJ
served that the parishes in this section (where
Gov. Nichols and his family are better
known than above us) have generally opposed
the calling Of convention at present, and
one great reason was and Is that those who
know Francis T. Nichols want him to "stay
Governor" and his ability and firmness so
far have justified this desire.
There Is q little question amongst the Con-
servative element as to
THE NECESSITY OF A CONSTITUTIONAL CON-
vENTION,
but many good, thinking men have considered
1t better to go into the next campaign with
the view OF securing thorough Democratic
Legislature, and with that done, then proceed
to settle the question of convention, and
secure an organic law to which we may turn
with pride.
