Sioux City's Railroad Magnates Calling
for More OF the Poe Mans Money.
Ponca Journal.
Among the many curious rumors in rela-
lation TO what is to be done by the new out
fit which runs the c., C. & B. II. railroad,
there is the statement that it will soon ask
the different precincts in Dixon county
through which it is proposed to extend
their one.horse railroad, to vote the further
aid of ten per cent, the same being in addi-
ton to the fifteen per cent. already voted,
the law having been looked into, and it
being found that such further aid would be
legal.
Thus, instead of fifteen per cent, such
precincts would have to pay twenty-five per
cent. of their valuation. If such programme
is to be carried out, we may soon expect
an inundation of Sioux City's railroad mag
mates, all smirks, smiles and deceptive prom
ises, headed by the president Of the road,
whose venerable gray hairs futtering in the
wind will give an air Of pious truthfulness
and holy reliability to the undertaking.
However, We will say, that Dixon county
having already been plundered all that it
will bear, our citizens will not submit with
. good grace to further skinning. Hence
We would recommend the railroad magnates
and narrow gauge ~potentates not to come
with such propositions until our citizens
forget how rascally the swindle has already
been.
We give this ADVICE, not because We
should expect to see the useful career of the
aforesaid magnates and potentates summari-
ly cut of by proceedings in the court of
Judge Lynch, although such event mightbe
in accordance with strict Justice. But,
though nobody would harm them, ~(unless
perhaps to kick them q little, a posterior;),
yet our citizens would deem the presence Of
the said %oily-tongued magnates and poten-
tates - insulting and d~isreputable Is that
Of q horde Of monte men or thimble.rig-
gers.
So, in all love and kindness, We would
advise them to remain on their present
stamping ground. for not only will the peo-
pie Of this country refuse to give more, but
they do not propose to pay the bonds they
have already been juggled out of.

The latest information received at army
headquarters in Chicago from the Indian
hostiles is Of a seriously threatening char.
acter. 1t indicates . season Of warfare and
bloodshed along the upper Missouri and
Yellowstone rivers. Under Sitting Bull at
Cypress mountains are assembled 1000 war.
riors who were at last accounts waiting for
the grass to grow that they might cross the
Canadian border and take the wal path.
Sitting Bull has been giving his braves
some highly inflammatory talk and they are
all ready to follow when he chooses to lead.
The half breeds along Milk river have been
notified by the hostiles to leave that region
aud are obeying the order. Sitting Bull
says that he did not leave the Yellowstone
because he was afraid to stay, but because
of the stencil arising from the dead SOL
diers he had killed there. He announces
his intention to go back there this summer
This information comes through Canadian
official sources and as it has been a month
reaching Ger. Sheridan it is to be presum-
ed that the time for q general movement has
about arrived. We gave yesterday some.
thing of an idea of the force which the gov.
eminent has at hand with which to contest
the advance of these Indians. Spread out
along hundreds of miles of frontier the Sc.
parated %detachments will prove no obstacle
in the way of these fresh warriors. recruit.

Of Sitting Bull will ar the fighting blood
of the already uneasy Indians at the agen.
cies and bring to the camp of the great dis
turber reinforcemcnts sufficient to sweep
away all opposition. The outlook for the
far west frontier is not an encouraging one.
Its only safety lies in peaceable intentions
on the part of the hostiles and indications
do not favor q belief that they will remain
quiet.

never suggested such statement. Mr.. Hewitt also
says that Mr.. Atkins, to his certain knowledge. did

NONE BUT REPUBLICANS IN THE FEDERAL JURY
BOXES OF THE soUTH-BAD OUTLOOK For
DEMOCRATS.
In connection with the expected prosecutions in
the Southern States for attractions Of the federal
election laws. considerable apprehension has been
excited among the democrats Of that region by
cent decision OF United States Judge William i.
Woods. OF the Fifth Judicial Circuit. that
jurors in United States courts must sub
scribe to the test oath. AS the Fifth Judicial
Circuit comprises all the States bordering
the Gulf, and Judge Woods decision would
most likely be made precedent for similar ruling
in all the other United States courts the result would
be that in all such prosecutions the accused persons
would have to be tried by jury made up exclusively
OF loyal whites negroes both. For this reason
fresh pressure is being exerted here to secure the
final passage Of the bill already passed by the House
for the repeal OF the test roncad OATH The bill
is before the Senate Committee the Revision Of the
Laws. Of which Mr. Chrstiancy is chairman. and that
gentleman has been requested to invite the COM
mittee to give il early attention.
