Santa Fe, Oct. 20.-Fears are enter
tanned by many of our people who know
the Navajoes well, that they will get on
the war path-not the gray headed ones,
but the young bucks who do not know
what an unmerciful whaling their
fathers received at the hands of Kit
Carson years ago.

Yesterday Gov. Wallace, with the
assistance of Surveyor General Atkin-
son, succeeded in securing teams, and
sent one hundred, calibre fifty, Spring
field rifles, with ten thousand rounds of
cartridges to the beleagured forces at
Mesilla. Three relays Of horses we're
secured, and by night and day travel

In my dispatch on the 10Th 1 stated
that Gen. Pope had promised these peo-
pie assistance with rations. at 4 p. m.
on the 18th inst. no word had come
from him. ~
We have no further information re-
garding the removal of the Indians
from Cimarron and Colorado. W. L..
Rynerson, with about seventy-five citi-
zen soldiers, arrived at Loyd's ranch
and found that Victoria's band had
gone south for Old Mexico. He erelieved
the besieged party at the ranch, and
buried sixteen whites whom he found
killed there and along the road.
Ispoke in a previous dispatch of the
death of party of five from Mesilla,
which was headed by man named
Jones. Recent advices indicate that
the party sold their lives dearly. Jones
himself killed four Indians before he
gave up his life. But the Indians had
aterrible revenge. After killing him
they secured his remains, cut of bis
head, stuck 1t on pole, and mutilated
his body in many other ways. When
Jones was found there were seven lance
holes In his body.
Col. Morrow has arrived with fouI
hundred and fifty regulars, and started
in pursuit of the Indians with thirty
days rations.
The Mesilla company was [compellet
to return, from the fact that the gov
ernment has sent no rations, and ir
that wild uncultivated malpice country
1t Is impossible to 8ght without rationl
In close proximity thereto. 1t is almost
impossible to get water, much les
something to eat.
Several Mexican teams from El Past
TO Mesilla were captured by the Indi
ans, the owners themselves murdered
their horses taken and the wagons plum
dered. The Mallon mountains are full
OF Victorio's band, and a squaw cap
tured by Morrow says 1t is Victoria
intention to burn Hillsboro. The pla
Ger camps are all deserted and th'
miners are in Hillsboro.
Joe Yankie and his company arc still
doing active service.
A dispatch was received stating tina
Indians were sighted due west from

cured the affidavit from him that he was
not present knew that IL was not true
when he signed and delivered il TO them
one OF the witnesses is under arrest for per-
Jury, and whether he is to have company
remains to be seen. The probabilities are
that the question of subornation of perjury
VIII DC the next in order, and that those
VINO have been framing and procuring false
aiildavits to be used in behalf of SPoFFoRD
VIII next have an opportunity to rise and
explain.
1t now looks as II this investigation is to
assume the character of q witness duel, for
the Sergeant-at-Arms notified the commit
tee that eight witnesses had been subpr-
naed on each side, and the chairman indi-
Gated that the witnesses would be limited
10 that number. If SPoFFoRD's four other
Witnesses are of the same sort that have
been introduced, he should withdraw his
claim to seat in the Senate and hunt up
cold stone in some shady place and occupy
that until he has contemplated with sub
uued spirit the uncertainties of Louisiana
testimony and becomes a wiser, if not n bet
ter man. We think the public have had
surieit OF this baseness and we are inclined
to go slow in its future publication
whether dignifed committee of the
Senate can, without a sacrifice of self-re-
spect, sit and listen to such exhibitions of
shameless mendacity as have transpired
during this investigation, is question for
this committee to decide; but it occurs to
us that sense of common propiiety would
scout this case, as presented and sustained,
out Of court.

PUNISHING JURIES,

Whatever verdict the jury considering
the CHANEY outrage case agree upon pro-
viding they agree upon any, the general inn
preston will be that they were forced to
render it. The spectacle of n dozen men,
after three days Of close confinement, led
out into public park, closely guarded, for
brief airing, and then hurried back to the
Jury-room and again locked up, needs no
comment to show that there is q serious de-
lect III the jury system as administered in
our courts. A few weeks ago we had
case where man signed verdict at
night and in the morning in open court
withdrew his assent to the verdict, stating
that lie had signed it merely for the pur
pose of avoiding the disagreeable alterna-
tive of being locked up all night. If men
cannot agree upon verdict after a reasona-
BILE time devoted TO a consideration of the
case, it is not improbable that any verdict
which they may render after several days
of close confinement will not be in accord
ance with their convictions, but agreed upon
for the purpose Of saving themselves from
further punishment.

THE ARKEARs oT PENSION LAW.

There is disposition on the part of the
Democrats to claim for General A. V. RICE
the Democratic nominee for Lieutenant
Governor in Ohio, the credit of the arrears
oil pensions law, under which the Union sol
dlers are being paid their arrears of pen-
sions. This claim is not well founded. The
plll which became a law was introduced by
MI CUMMINGS, of Iowa, April 9, 1878
passed the House June 10, 1873; the Senate
January 16, 1879 and was approved Jam
uary 20, 1879 The bill introduced by Mr..
RICE is still pending in the Committee of
the Whole of the House. A brief history of
Mr. RICE's bill can be found on page II of
the daily order Of business printed for the
use Of the House of Representatives ,Janu-
ary 27, 1879. Under this order of business
and under the head of the Committee of
the Whole House on the state of the Union
VIII be found the following official char
acteriZation of the bill of Mr.. RICE:
H. X. No. 1858, February 10, Mr.. AMERrcrrs
V. RICE, Invalid Pensions bill to regulate
the granting of pensions on account of death
or wounds or injuries received, or disease CON
tracted IN the service Of the United States
o'nSo 'hc tth uAy OF March, 1851, and for the
payment OF arrears Of pensions also to author.
lze the Secretary of the Interior TO return 10 hc
roH o. mrdiT pensioners The names stricken there.
from on account OF DIsLoYALTY, and to repeal
sections 47O9, 17l6 and 4717 of the Revised
statutes OF the United States Special order
lor Wednesday, February 27 157S) after the
morning hour, and from day to day thereafter,
not TO Interfere with appropriation bills or re.
ports from the Committee on Ways and Means.
Here we have the gist of Mr.. RIcE's bill.
which is still pending in the Committee of
the Whole of an expired Congress- while
that of Mr.. CUMMINGS, which provided for
the pensioning of Union soldiers and which
has become law and is shedding its ben
ehts practically upon the soldiers who
helped to save the Union, and deserve well
OF their country. The least that the DEM |
ocrats have to say about the claim of Gen
eral RICE to the credit of securing these
arrears for the soldiers the better in the
light of history. He may have supported
the bill, but he was in no degree its orig
lnator, and the claim set up for him in that
regard is simply absurd and ridiculous.
The soldiers Of Ohio know to whom they
are indebted for simple justice in this in
stance, and no pretext set up in the face of
recorded history will avail anything in the
light of intelligence and understanding,
under fictitious claim to honors that be-
long to another.

THE sPOFFoRD FJasoo.

The farce of SPoFFoRDs attempt to oust
Senator KELLOGG has been played faI
enough to satisfy the country that il was
conceived in sin and brought forth in
lniquity and must fail, entailing disgrace
| II such thing be possible, upon its authors
Much time has been spent by the committee
IN examining witnesses and adducing proofs.
and much space has been devoted 10 record
ing and publishing testimony which betravs
disregard for the truth and rottenness of
purpose which is calculated to disgust, if
not to satisfy, the public mind. SpoFFoRD
transported four witnesses from Louisiana
to the National Capital, through whose tes.
timony he expected or pretended to expect
to sustain his claim to the seat in the Sen.
ate now occupied by Senator KELLOGG.
One Of these witnesses was prompt to testify
that SPoFFoRD had offered him q position
IN the custom-house if he would give evil
dence in his favor; another that he re-
ceiyed $500 to vote for SPOFFoRp in
the Legislature; then there is a third
who was on the stand yesterday
This was the witness referred TO
in the telegram to Mr.. MERRIcK, which
we published some days ago and which

The Democrats having failed in every at
tempt at evolution-having been headed
OIL by the Presidential veto in their at
tempts to circumscribe the powers of the
President as cOmmander-in-chief of The
army-and finding themselves foilcd at all
points by Executive vigilance, they now
seek revenge, and think they have found n
rare opportunity for its wreaking. Power
less against the President, and being foiled
in every mischievous invention they hnye
attempted, the Democrats are full of chagrin
and resentment. They dare not, or cannot,
II they dare, reach the army; but the Sec
retary of War furnishes q shining mark for
their malice. His position is the nearest
point to the army that they can reach and
he IS spotted as a victim. The President
has nominated him as Judge of the United
States Circuit Court There is no doubt of
the fitness of the appointment but the
Democrats must have revenge, and it is
given out that Mr.. MCCRARY's nomination
IS doomed to rejection. We cannot believe
that the Senate is sufficiently besotted in
partisan hate to do this thing; but if it
proves so to be, so much the worse for them,
and so much the better for the Republicans.
In political point of view it is not to be re-
gretted, though for the credit of the United
States Senate we should regret to see it lower
itself to grade so far below the average
decencies and proprieties of coordinate re-
lation. One thing shakes our confidence in
the predictions made that Mr.. MCCRARY's |
rejection is forcgone conclusion: it comes
from "a liar of the first magnitude "-the
champion who has won the belt by sacriGe-
ing truth to ialsehood to au extent that out
strips allhope and powerof competition. We
prefer to see the end before we accord to
the Senate the scalp of the Secretary of
War to crafty petty spite.

The Democratic solictude regarding the
qualifications of Candidate FOSTER are ex-
ceedingly amusing. The new Bourbon Ia
ment is voiced in the feeble words "Fos-
TER was not Union soldier" 1t is quite
probable, however, that Mr.. FOSTER will
meet the requirements of the occasion as
well as his competitor, who, having a good
Union record, has now earned the brand of
deserter and is to be found in the ranks of

The New York Herald, under the caption
oil Propagation of Mischievous Errors ,
takes Senator MORGAN severely in hand
ior MS gross misrepresentation of fact in
what 1t chnracterizes as "some oratorical
lobscouse delivered in Virginia the other
day" In referring to what he repre-
sented ito be historically the true state of
the case it says: "Mr. MORGAN, we sup
pose, knows that it was not the state of
the case, for it ought not to be assumed
that q man can be Senator without the
possession of average intelligence at least. 4"
IT thinks Mr. MoRGANs views of history
will not trouble the man of the future more
than his logic. We should not wonder if the
man who reads MORGAN hundred wears
hence would really want to know how war
made, as he says, to keep men in slavery
was also, as he says, war for freedom.
Poor, mendacious MORGAN!
