New York. April 2 An organizationcslied
the st. Dominic's Colonization Society Of the
City OF New York, has been formed Tor the
purchase of lands in Kansas, to be sold at
cost price to members actually settling. The
society proposes erecting large building on
the tract for use until families are able to
provide separate shelter. They will also loan
money to the colonists when embarrassed by
sickness or failure Of crops. The whole move
ment is in the interest of the Irish laborers,
under the guidance of the Catholic Church,
and is supposed to be backed by Irish capt.
talists. The principal Office will be here.
The exodus of negroes to the free States
from the South is evidently becoming seri-
is organized and conducted under the guild
ance of those whom the negroes regard as
their superiors. Many have already settled
in Kansas and are prosperous. Reports of
their success have further demoralized the
in the old States, who are very often
badly used, even if industrious, and are some
times i'll paid, aud whe are not prosperous in
in anyway. This departure of labor, if it
assumes the proportions apprehended, will
hurt the South i'll it's industrial interests.
Interest is excited in the iron trade from
the fact that Vanderbilt has purchased in
England 1900 tons of steel rails at price
which equals $50 per ton landed here, while
he price of the best American rails would be
s45 delivered. 1t is said the rails are guar
snteed for fifteen years, but the trade are re-
uctant to regard this as reason for paying
BIO ton advance upon home prices. i

Pe.aletOn and Thurman.

Long Branch correspondent OF the
Tribune gives a very Interesting inside
view Of ohio politics in their bearing. OIL
the fortunes OF Thurman and the ambIrions

seems, quietly laying his pipes for the
Democratic nomination for President in

for 1880 III the "old man" Ia then defeat
ed, that will end his pretensions; while, If
he is selected, Mr.. Pendleton thinks that he
will not survive to make contest for the
nomination tour years later. Men have
before now been deceived ABOUT the "debili-
ty" Of certain persons who were in their
way, ard Mr.. Pendleton may be deceived
about that Of TIlden. But, be this a. 1t
enough. He cannot forge himself to the
front as long "A tine Judge" is on the track.
He mas, with his usual forethought, turned
his attention towards retiring him to pri-
vate life. The defeat OF Rice and the
nomination OF Ewing was the first
step in the execution of this
plan. The second was the deposit
ton of John G.. Thompson, Who
runs" Thurman. Mr.. Thompson has had
for a number of years but two obiects-the
furthersnce Of the interests Of "No. l." and
as incident thereto The furthefance of the
ambitions of allen G. Thurman. Thomp-
son has been disposed and it seems to be re-
garded as an open secret that the Ohio
Democrats are at the election in October
next to concentrate all their efforts on the
Governor and let the Legislature shift for
itself. This would give the Legislature to
the Republicans and elect a Republican
successor to Mr.. Thurman. Mr.. Pendleton
would then be the exclusive representative
of Ohio Democracy in the senate and his
great competitor would be nowhere" Mr..
Pendleton's cup would be full if Ewing
were defeated. There would be no one to
divide the honors with him.

prove uninteresiing. The Indians say that
after the general stampede Custer tried to
rally his men around him.
He waved his pistol in the air and shot it
off twice to attract his men. Two or three
gathered around him, but "a the Indians
continued TO advance, one Of the soldiers
tried to run awsv.
Custer fired at him and killed him. and
then, seeing the case quite hopeless, the In.
dians gathered from all psrts, turned his
revolver on himself, preferring 10 die by his
own hand. The Indisrs ssy the person az
Custer, as he was chief, but they are not
certain of the fact.
Rain in the Face took a soldier prisoner,
but he was not allowed to live long, az he
was killed at dance that followed the
fight. The Indians all agree 10 one thing,
that the number Of Indians killed was
thirty-six. They give their names.
