The civil Rights Of Indians.

Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour and ex Rep
resentative W. J. Bacon, OF Utica, N. Y, have
signed the annexed appeal for the civil rights
of Indians:
"The question OF the right OF Indians to
claim the protection OF the law, which has at
tracted the attention Of the. public since the
habens corpus for the release OF Standing
Bear, the Ponca chief, is one which we deem
of vast importance. ALI those who sym
pathize with the Indians and desire that they
should have the same rights before the courts
that we accord to all other human beings now
have an opportunity to give practical aid TO
secure that object. The people OF the North
reproach the people OF the South for the
wrongs OF slavery, yet there never was time
when they were not allowed to have their
cases tried before the courts. Surely we
should take care that the American people do
not lay themselves open to the charge that In
this respect they uphold denial OF that JUS
tice which was never withheld from the slaves yts
In the South, when they were subject to. the
utmost rigor Of the laws which made them
the property Of others. We therefore appeal
to the benevolent everywhere to send In con.
tributions for that purpose. Eminent counsel
have offered their services free OF charge,
and the money asked for is to pay witness
fees and court expenses.

authorizes denial Of the statement published
in many OF the newspapers that the Spanish
minister had officially informed him that the
government Of Spain had instructed tne au-

vessels trading with the United States. Sec-
retary Hunter called the attention OF the

fionaiity arriving at an American port from
places where the yellow fever prevailed with
out a certificate from the American consul,
based on the certificate OF the United States

at the time OF sailing. Mr.. Hunter gave no.
tice that 1t was the intention OF the govern

ish minister received the notification without
comment further than making the statement
that his government had been made fully ac-
quainted with the regulation, and that he had
no instructions Ia the matter.

Slightly Injured.
Especial to the Democrat]


OPELoUsAs, Sept. 6.-The storm OF the first,
which did so much damage In the Attakapas
parishes, was comparatively light In st. Lam
dry, but severe enough to materially injure
the crops. Several small houses were blown
down In different parts of the parish, and
fences generally destroyed. Beyond this there
was no destruction Of property. The cane is
blown down, but Is not thought to be exten-
sively damaged. The cotton fields were white
and the loss In that crop is necessarily great:
From all accounts the destructive violence Of
the storm was not felt above the parish OF
Lafayette.
