We learn from parties of Whites gulch
that it is the prevailing belief there, that
there is a wounded Indian on the mountain
between Whites and Avalanch gulches.
gun shots have been heard an this vicinity
on Il number of occasions since the fight,
and as there has been no hunter out, it is
evident that it is a wounded Indian not able
to make his escape, foraging for game.

There are various s%peculations rs to what
tribe of Indians the raiding party of last
week5belong. The one that was killed had
a large scar on his head extending down
over one of his eyes, which was out, and
over which he wore a patch. The scar
seemed to be fresh, which leads to the con
clusion that he was probably a Nez PIERCE
and received his wound in last summers
campaign. He bore marked evidence O
'extreme poverty his leggings, etc., were
tied about him with strips of flour sacks.

A man named Murphy, a brother of Ser
geant Murphy of Camp Baker, who was
herdipg the wether band of Potter & Ford
and Smith & Mcdonald, on the north fork
of Smith river, about ten miles above the
White Sulphur Springs, has been missing
since the Indian raid last week, and since
the horses lett at Moore's by the Indians
were the ones used by him, and his gloves,
coat and blanket were found upon the body
of the Indian killed in the fight at'the head
of Whites, there seems to be no doubt that
he has been killed by the raiding party and
his body cached. VIM. Smith, who went to
the herder's camp ON the Doth, the day of
the raid, found the cabin rihed OF its con-
tents and the sheep scattered in every dlrec-
ton. Uhe sheep had evidently been lett in
the corral. and had broken out themselves.
A bullet hole was found in the cabin just
above the head OF the bed, another in a diff
ferent corner, and a bloody blouse was found
in h ecabin. 1t is believed that Mr.. Murphy
was fired upon while in bed, one shot hreo
from the door, which had no shutter but a
wool sack, and the other througha crack in
the wall. One of his shoes was found IN TIT
1 willows near by, where there had been sew
,eral little camp fires. Search has been instl
tuted. but thus far the body has not beef
found.

that there is but one way to administer MS
construction Of the Federal laws In the South,
and to make them efficiently subserve his
partisan and vindiotive purposes and ends,
and that Is by vesting him with ar
bitrary powers, supplying him with q
full excheauer and lending him the mill
tary arm OF the government to enforce
his cruel and infamous measures. with these
resources at his hands. and with martinets
for Judges and an army OF paid informers, as
sured immunity for their perjuries by the
Federal government, and he will be prepared
to inaugurate his inquisition against the
South with some assurances Of success. But
he must have money to do this; he must
have the army, also, and above all things, the
State laws against murder, perjury, melting
riot and such like crimes, must be abrogated
and the State courts Invested of all jurisdlc-
ton in such cases This Is the monstrous
proposition that comes from the first law OH
Ger of the government the legal adviser OF
the President OF the United States.
It is not necessary to 60 into that portion OF
Mr.. Devens' lucubration which treats OF the
late elections Ina the South, or to repeat the
blood-curdling recitals Of cruel and cowardly
murders. and the prosecutions to which his
innocent purveyors of testimony In regard to
them have been submitted by indictments In
the State courts for perjury. 1T Is only
necessary to say that Devens advances the
remarkable doctrine that perjurer Is not
amenable to the State law, and secures inn
munity for his crime by the mere circum-
stance of having committed 1t before Fed
eral commissioner. Verify, this Is new
Bgis thrown about crime Devens believes
IN It, though, and he asks Congress TO
provide some method Of transferring these
indictments for perjury from the State
to Federal courts. Why not ask at
once for some method Of transferring the
g,lbernatorial power to the United States
marshal, and save complications by transfer
ring the whole State government at once to his
department Why confne his suggestions to
the judiciary department, and leave the ex-
ecutive and legislative departments still to

that the committee paid little or no attention

Johnny" Davenport has not yet been pro
noted for his villainy in New York city on
the fifth Of November. He seized the natural
ization papers OF four or five thousand Demo
Gratis, thus depriving them of their ballots,
and py threats and force intimidated several
thousand more. This action was based upon
the assumption that naturalization papers
Issued in 1868 were Illegal, and all those hold
ing them were seeking to cast fraudulent
votes One OF the arrested parties was
brought into court a few days ago. and almost
as soon as the charge was read the judge or
dered his discharge, on the ground that he
had committed no offense against the law

was therefore, grossly illegal. This viii
