Confederates, the Augusta, Ga,
Chronicle says: This is short and
sensible speech. Nothing could
have been in better taste. Grant
is right. Nothing expands the
mind more than going abroad. We
have no doubt Grant is in all re-
spects a more conservative man
than ever before. Not particle OF
bitterness toward the South seems
to have an abiding place in his ma
ture.

The Ute Onibreak-UaGer,
Causes
NEW YORK, Oct. 3d.-Washing-
ton and other specials regarding
the Ute outbreak show long me-
elected treaty stipulations, untitled
government pledges and continued
encroachments on their reservation
as the primary causes. The Indian
officials are unable to resist the
pressure of Western representatives
to effect their removal to the In
dian Territory. Hence the execu-
tive and legislative branches of the
government have resorted to the
usual means to force upon them
surrender of their lands. Last
winter o delegation of Los Piuos
Utes came to Washington to ask
for payment for the territory cut
out of their part of the reservation
in southwestern Colorado, and
were impatient at the delay. The
Commissioner explained to them
that until the Great Council made
an appropriation they could not re-
ceive the sum proposed by the
Peace Commissioners sent out last
year. Congress was then in ses-
sion, but the recommendation for
payment of the sums specified by
the Commissioners was not needed.
To add to the aggravating causes, a
number of spectators and pros
pectors who had been in the north
ern part of the reservation, came to
persuade Congress to disregard
treaty obligations, and declare the
reservation open to settlement.
They brought with them five speci-
mems of rich gold and silver ore,
and argued that the sooner we had
an Indian war and tho savages
were eXterminated, the better it
would be for the country and the
frontiermen. Particularly seeing
that serious consequences would
follow an invasion of their domain,
Schurz asked Congress for author
ity to enter into negotiations for a
cession to the United States Of all
the reservation of the Utes, that it
might be thrown open to settlers
and miners, and this request was
also disregarded.
The scene of Thornburg's disas-
ter is on the edge of the reservation
at Milk creek, which runs into
Painted Rock creek.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3I.-The Times
Cincinnati special says: The unique
explanation by the friends of Gov
ernor Blackburn of Kentucky, first,
that he was never interested in O
yellow fever plot; second. that the
plot was a joke, and third, that the
people of Kentucky approved the
plot, has revived the publication of
Blackburn literature here.
The Gazette will tomorrow pub
fish the official history of Black
burns operations in the yellow
fever hospital at Havana-an en-
tirely new branch on the subject.
1t brings to light a fact which ex-
plains the probable contents of the
valise which it was proved that
during the assassination trial DR..
Blackburn tried to induce one
Hyams to take to the United States
and send by express as a gift to
Lincoln. This Havana history
sets forth that among other cloth.
ing that Blackburn took to the hos
pital to have infected was q black
suit, which he proposed to send to
Lincoln as a pretended present
from the workingmen Of Manehes-
ter. Hyams's statement, hereto
fore printed, is fully corroborated
by this official testimony. The
that Blackburn
would make speech at Columbus
this week by invitation of the
Democratic Committee, is with
drawn.
