SHUPE AND SHERMAN.
An Important statement from a Reli-
able SOurce-The Labor League
and How It was Formed.

Boston Standard (Greenback): The fol-
lowing statement was prepared by Mr.. Jas.
Wright, of Eimira, with the intention of SUBJ
hitting it to the Syracuse convention: Mr..
Shupe stated to me In his Office on the
eleventh of April last that he had dined that
day with John Sherman, who had expressed
himself decidedly In favor of the labor cause
and in the interests of the workingmen; that
he (Sherman) was heartily sick of the old
parties, their rings, chickering's and conduct
generally; that his sympathy being with the
workingmen he would furnish them with
means to organize a labor league throughout
the United States This was to be secret
organization. Shupe added that Sherman
had gives the figures on resumption, showing
that nothing could prevent it, He said it
would throw into circulation, with gold at
par, three or four millions more money. This
would give all the currency required, take
the wind out of the sails of the National
party, and wipe it out of existence. 1t was
arranged between Shupe and Sherman that
this party must die. Out of its ashes was to
arise, in Phoenix fashion, the labor league,
Sherman debating who should be its national
leader, through Peter Cooper (using the old
man again as convenient cat's-paw). Shupe
was to dictate the management of the differ
emit States, and issue fat from the advocate
Office appointing the leaders of new govern
ors of the different States. Shupe's satraps
were to appoint the county leaders. Sherman
was to furnish the money for organizing this
new despotism, and for putting the newspa
pers into every town, village and hamlet at
price that would sll off the greenback and
national journals. Through the same ma
chinery Shupe proposed to destroy the mid
dlemen and small merchants and organize a
system to sell directly to the people, with not
more than one go-between. He also init
mated that he had the entire greenback and
the leaders of its different factions under
Its control-in other words that he had bought

that when a death has occurred in the old
homestead no minister was invited to conduct
religious services, either at the house or the
grave. The survivors, and perhaps a few of
their nearest friends, would sit IN a Quaker
like silence, in the house where the dead lay.
and have their own high thoughts on eternal
things-for they were all religious persons,
though religiously peculIar-and then
the burial would be made without religi-
Gus services. Such was the character of the
funeral which took place at Glastonbury this
afternoon. Miss Julia, the survivor of her
race, will now be alone in her old age in the
old household, but the tender care of her
friends and tenants land nearest neighbors),
Mr.. and Mrs. Kellogg, will be given to her in
her declining years. A singular fact IN con-
nection with this family is the fatal recur-
renee of the period of seven years in the
deaths of the sisters. Thus, Laurilla Aleroyla
died in 1857, and in 1864 occurred the death
of the next one, CyrinthIa Sacretia. Seven
years later, in 1871, came the death of the
frst-born, and the two survivors were accus-
toned to say that In 1873 one of them would
probably die-and the event, oddly enough,
has proved the truth of the rule. Four of the
FIVE sisters have died at times separated each
by an interval of seven years. Each was
marked by some peculiar talent-in music,
painting, gardening or linguistic gifts. Julia,
the survivor of the family, was the translator
of the bible from the original. Hers is per-
haps the strongest character of the family.

ALE AND ALIBEL.

One of the favored lies Of the Radical press
at the north is that the southern people are
proscriptive and that they prosecute for opin-
ions sake. This has recently been revived
by the official organs of the administration in
this section, who, not content with repeating
in various forms, attempt to illustrate it by
marking Democrats as Bourbons, and so sin
Cling them out for the Opprobrium and hate
of their fellow-citizens. For this, the So
called Bourbons do not care. They
accept the word as the badge
OF consistency, devotion to prin-
ciple, and earnest, honest efforts for the peo-
pie through Democratic reform. They are
not afraid of the word Bourbon, because they
are not proscriptive; they are not afraid of
that or any other 'epithet" that may be
applied to them which carries with it an hon.
est Interpretation of their intentions. Not
80 with these Official mouth-pieces. Holding
office under Radical administration, they
do not like to be called Radicals. While
working to perpetuate Radicalism they want
to be called Nationals, Independents, or any
thing but by that word which expresses to
the southern ear the outrages and oppres-
sions which we endured for so many years at
the hands of the Radical party. They want
to enjoy the offices for which they sold them
selves, free from all responsibility, for the
party which demands Grant for third-term
President as the strong man, the only man

capable Of numbering the working classes
should they continue 20 meet and speak as
they are doing, the only man who can
muster cheek enough to bend the powers of
the government for the bondholding classes.
These tender-toed gentry don't like the word
Radical. They are willing enough to pocket
the profits of Radicalism in the shape of the
wages Of a government Office, but they don't
want to be identified with the party that
stole the Presidency, they don't want to be
marked as members of the party that coun-
tenanced the whisky frauds, that defended
Belknap, sought to cover up the credit mo-
biler, that bonded the greenbacks in order
to feed a special class, and since 1865 have
continued to legislate for that class against
the interests of the laboring millions. To
call one of these assumed independents a
Radical, though he feeds at the public
trough. is to apply an epithet he
does not like. He cries out prescription, and
denounces all who recognize his color by the
badge he wears as Bourbons. Unfortunately
for them there is no relief for their troubled
souls. They are as much Radicals as Hayes
and Key, and for the same reason-they are
part and parcel of a Radical administration.

A SAD CASE.
The Daughter OF a Respectable Citizen
Suing her Lover for Seduction
and Bastardy.
Special to the St. Paul Pioneer Press

Special to the ST. Paul Pioneer Press.l
One of those unfortunate cases that shocks
the morals of a community and excites pity
and sympathy for the various relatives brought
to grief by the folly and indiscreetness of
youth, startled Winona on Thursday, in the
plants, preferred by Hattie E. Ely, daughter
of Mr.. Edward Ely, of this city. One of
these charges is for seduction on the third of
June, 1878, under promise of marriage, and
the other is for bastardy, the complaint
stating In effect that the young woman was
about to become mother, and that the de-
PENDANT Is the father of the child. For
some time past the acquaintance of
these young. people have OBJ
but it was supposed to be of perfectly Iegit-
mate character. Mr.. Lowe has always borne
good reputation there as steady, industri
Gus young man. He was employed In the
planning mill of Mr.. c. Bohn, and is an ex-
celent workman. About two weeks or so
ago he had an offer to go to Mankato at
higher wages, and he thereupon accepted the
situation. Since then matters came to a
crisis, and the parents of Miss Ely took legal
measures to compel him to fulfill his promise
of marriage, which the girl alleges was made.
A warrant was issued and placed IN the hands
of Deputy Marshal White, who left here
Tuesday night, accompanied by Miss Ely,

performed at Mankato. Lowe was very much
taken aback at his arrest, and promptly de-
MED the charge of seduction under the prom
Use of marriage. He did not propose to enter
into any such relationship, and was accord
y placed under arrest, and came to Winona
Wednesday morning on the midnight
train in company With Officer White and
Miss Ely. 1t is understood that the defend
ant does not deny having been criminally in
innate with the complainant. He lntimates
that if it can be shown that he is rightfully
responsible for the consequences he is willing
to support the child; but he denies the charge
of seduction, and alleges in defense that the
complainant had told him of having sus-
tanned improper relations with other men in
Chicago before her return to Winona few
months ago. In fact, the allegations of the
defense make story unpleasant to contem-
plate. The young girl comes from an esti-
mable family, and has always been held in
good standing here. The examination on the
charge of bastardy began this afternoon,
Messrs. Snow and Yale appearing for the
prosecution and Wilson and Gale for the de-

THIRTY DUSKY WARRIORS
JenersOnVIIIe, Indiana, and jack
son, Michigan-A Band OF Scalp
ers Done For.

st. Louis dispatch of the fifth to the Gin
einnati Enquirer: Thirty Indian convicts
from northwestern Texas, en- route for the
Michigan and Indiana penitentiaries, arrived
here this morning, and are now locked up In
the city jail. They are under charge of the
western authorities, who deemed it best to
send them east for safe-keeping. They are
as hard and desperate looking a crowd as
ever entered the portals of our strongly
barred jail. both in personal appearance and
wearing apparel. Tney are the scum OF the
lowest of the low class of Indians, and look
cunning, mean and desperate enough to be
guilty of any crime. The hardest citizen of
this lot is Ka-La Lula, or in English, the
Bald-faced Eagle. He is charged with scalp
ing and making away with two families of
ten persons on the frontier. His partner in
the crime is named the Bloody Buffalo,
is a tall, well-formed redskin, with
a dark, treacherous eye, and teeth as
white as snow, which he grinds with rage as
the CHAINS around his limbs clank and rattle
lot is Calacah, or Young Man-Afraid-o of His
Shadow. He is pointed out as one of the
most desperate of the lot, half a dozen
charges of murder being entered against his
worthless carcass. The youngest and best
looking of the cOnvicts is a tall, well built,
handsome savage, twenty years of age, and
a member of the Umatllla tribe, known as
Acochita, or the Great Unknown. He is
charged with the killing of man in a fight
at Fort Worth, and has been sentenced to
twenty years in the State penitentiary. All
seemed crazed with rage at being kept in
such close confinement, and the gentlemen
who have them in charge have anything but
a pleasant duty to perform. Captain Con-
way, the jailer, states that their keepers have
stopped over day in st. Louis for the pur-
pose of obtaining rest, as they have been
travelling for nearly week, and IN that time
could not close their eyes in sleep for fear of
the redskins getting the best of them. They
are guilty of nearly every crime in the calen-
dar, and are known in the west as terribly
desperate cases. The majority of them are
to be put in the State penitentiary at Jeffer-
sonville, Indiana, and the balance go to the
Jackson, Michigan, State prison.

GRANTS
Table Talk Discussed in Washington
by Those Who Knew Him as
General and President-His
Chances OF a Third
Term.

Washington correspondent of he-Cincin-
natl Enquirer: General Grants opinions of
the dead Generals Lee and Jackson, as re-
ported, if not manufactured, by John Russell
Young, are calling forth a deal of sst crit
cisms in military circles here. Officers who
went with Grant from the Rapidan to Rich
mond, say they do not believe General Grant
ever said he was mot anxious when Lee was
in front of him" because it was too foolish a
thing to say, and would be so palpable
falsehood that it would deceive no one. OF
course, the Confederate officers are highly in
dignant. The curious part of it is that It has
induced some Republicans who were very
prominent under Grant, and who are known
TO be in his confidence, to assert that Grants
enemies In his own party, or, rather his rivals,
are at the bottom of all this new Grant
movement, and that all this premature work
ing up of his candidacy Is for the purpose of
drawing from him a positive refusal to run,
or, that failing, of killing him off early In
the fight and so getting him out OF the way
of others, who want the next Repub-
lican nomination. 1t transpires that
Grants sudden and surprising volubility is
merely a revelation and not an acquisition.
A member of his cabinet is authority for the
assertion that all the while the country was
calling Grant a sphinx he was really very
superior conversationalist. "Why," said my
informant, the cabinet officer aforesaid, I'VE
who were In General Grants confidence know
that he was very entertaining conversation
alst. At the cabinet meetings, when there
was not much to do, and we were sitting
around for an hour or two, General Grant
could talk as well as anybody. Indeed, he
was very entertaining talker. He would
run on, mainly giving army "reminiscences,
and we would sit and listen to him by the
hour. There is no question about it, General
Grant is a very entertaining talker when he
has a mind IN no IT. WAS only when he WAS
IN public, IN the presence of people he did
not know and trust, that he would not talk
Then he was dumb as an oyster" In an
swer to query as to whether Grant would
run again, his ex-cablnet officer said: "Well,
l don't know, of course, what he will do or
what he will not do, but do know that if he
will consent to run again it will be with the
greatest reluctance" Then, after a mo-
ment, ne added: "If l were in his place |
would not run again, and do not believe he
will consent to run, unless he is sure that he
will be elected"

The Boston BeItIng Company's Credi-


BosToN, August AT meeting of the
stockholders and creditors of the Boston belt
ing company, this afternoon, proposition
will be made to the creditors which, if ac-
cepted. will enable the company to pay its
Indebtedness IN full, andIto continue business
under the present charter. but with new
management. This proposition, to which
every stakeholder that has been approached
has assented, is that four ifths of the stock be
surrendered to the company, to be disposed of
by and for the benefit of the corporation. In
addition to their ur-ffths, Messrs Durant &
Cheever will surrender their entire stock and
interest in the concern. The amounts to be
surrendered entire are as follows: John G.
Tappan, stock already surrendered, $198, 400;
John 81. CheeVer, 1885, 700; Henry F. Durant,
$4,000, and Josiah M. Tappan, $50, 500.
JOSIAH G. Tappan will retain ten thousand
dollars worth of stock. 1t is then proposed
to increase the capital stock to seven hundred
thousand dollars, the present stockholders
having preferred right to purchase surren-
dered stock and to subscribe for new. If the
proposition is accepted by the creditors,
meeting will be called early in the coming
week, at which Converse will be elected
treasurer.
