Indian Depredations,

The fair reader shudders when she
thinks of the settlers wife watching,
from the door of her wooden hut, the
retreating form of her husband going
out to his daily labor-going out per-
haps to return not again, for before
nightfall a savage hand may have laid
him low among the prairie grasses.
Or it may be a child, a bright-eyed
daughter, is suatched away in an I'M
guarded moment, to grace the next
war dance When we read the heart
rending details of these savage depre-
dations, we are apt to blame the gov
eminent for not taking more strict
precautions to insure the settlers pro-
| lection, But we daily read of the de-
predations of that arch fiend, consupp-
ton, with scarcely thought of the
terrible inroads it is making in human
| life. Tens of thousands of homes are
annually desolated by consumption to
one by Indian outrage. Like the In
dian, consumption oftenest comes
stealthily, and no danger is apprehen-
ded until the victim suddenly finds
himself hopelessly ensnared, anC
deaths fatal arrow ends the scene. DIR
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, {
powerful Alternative, or blood purifier
and tonic, has restored thousands o.
consumptives who had tried every
other remedy recommended to them
without obtaining any relief, and are
willing to testify to its remedia
powers.

Isl. Louis Republican.

(St. Louis hepuDIlchn.J
There is story that Mr.. Evarts. too,
wants to be president It ID stated that
he has consented to be the Republican can
didate for governor of New York, believing
that the Democratic quarrel in the state
offers an unusually promising opportunity
of being easily elected; tina. his conserva-
tive character would attract many Dem
ocrats to him, and make him governor
almost without an effort: that being elect
ed governor of the Empire state, he
would irresistibly shoot up as the most
available candidate for the presidency,
displacing both Grant and Sherman.
Ali this is too funny. Leaving out of
sight the fact that secretaries Of state
rarely become presidential candidates, Mr..
Evarts possesses none Of the qualities Of q
candidate. With all his legal learning
and ability, he is insufferably sspless and
dry. There is no blood in him. Besides
the administration has one candidate il
the field, in the person Of Mr.. Sherman
and there is no room for another, Evart'
is no match for Sherman. The latter ha'
spread his net over the land, and attached
the great moneyed interests of Mr.. Evarts
own state to his fortunes No, no; there
is no room in the presidential lists for Mr.
| Evarts.

The Great Crime.

And now comes Justice s. +. Miller, of
the United States supreme court, and one
of the electoral commission, who confesses
that the tribunal of which he was q MEM
Der, seated Hayes 10 opposition to the
facts and euidencel This apology comes
rather late, but tsrdy as it is, it is valua-
Bile as con6rmatory Of the charges made by
the Democracy, that the electoral commits
sion was q mere partisan machine in the
interest Of the Republican party. Justice
Miller says of Tilden;
''On the other hand, it may be said Of
him that he honestly thought himself
elected, aud entitled to the vote OF two
southern states which the tribunal decided
against him. He was elected in Louisiana
that is, he got eight or ten thousand
more actual V0tes there than Hayes"
--Here is the truth, reluctantly acknowl-
edged by q man who, as Justice of the
highest tribunal in the country, deliber-
ately conceded with those who rendered q
decision, knowing that decision to be an
outrage upon the people at the very time
it was formulated. Every member OF the
electoral commission was required to take
q solemn obligation, as follows:
IT do soemnly swear that | will impair
italy examine and consider all questions
submitted to the commission Of which
am a member, and true judgment give
thereon. agreeably to the constitution and
the laws, so help me God"
In the face of this solemn oath, Justice
Miller is compelled to acknowledge that,
as a member of the commission he practi
cally violated that oath, by sanctioning I
decision which be now admits was con
trdTy to the evidence and facts adduced!
The dark crime of 1876, already thu
blacklist in our political history, grows
even darker as the pages of the record fill
with the revelations constantly coming tc
light It is only a question of time wher
the full history of the great wrong which
deprived the people of their lawful.
chosen president, will be given to tn
world. There is already enough known
to establish the existence of premedi
tated conspiracy-all that remains is +
irremediably fasten the guilt on all Of tn
conspirators What makes the Grim
doubly disgracefulis that the canting hypo
critic and pretender Hayes, knew he wa
fraudulently seated, and that he deliberatel
sanctioned and encouraged the crime tina
made him president.

The shooting of Rev. Ksloch, the work
lngmen'S candidate for mayor of San Fran
ciScu. California, by Charles DeYoung
one Of the editors of the Chronicle of thai
city, - another instance of allowing passion
to take the place of judgment. As nearly
as can be cleaned from the facts at hand
both the parties had INDUCED in bitter
personalities and that Kalloch, at a public
meeting, used language, terribly de-
nunciatory of the DeYoungs, even bringing
their legitimate parentage into question
This appears to have so enraged DeYoune
that, while the passions were uppermost
he attempted to assasinate the man who
had used the language. The shooting, no
matter what the provocation, was an out
rage and will be condemned by all good
men. Like the YazOo Parish affair, it has
no justification. The principle is all wrong,
and savors OF return to barbarism. defies
law, makes farce of the laws of society,
degrades politics and smirches our reputa-
tion as nation in the foreign world. 1T
undermines our social system, makes men
reckless. give encouragement to bad men,
and creates a feeling of distrust among ell
classes. The sooner the knive and pistol
cease to figure as political agents. the
sooner will we reach healthier social con-

From Ohio comes the encouraging re-
port that the opposition of the hard money
element to General Ewing, will not affect
the result; that all over the state the de-
mocrscy seem to be more determined on
the success Of the party, than of any spe-
cial financial legislation. This is as it
should be and evinces the proper spirit
The financial question will be solved
naturally. The first and most important
step is to secure success of Democratic
principles, the rest will follow as one of
the results of the victory. What IS
applicable TO Ohio, is equally essential 10
Illinois. Democrats who have been quar-
relling over finances, can better subserve
their interests and secure the desired
legislation through the Democratic party.
If Democrats will lay aside their differ
ences and work shoulder to shoulder fol-

Of the Iparty, and by this means achieve
victory, there will be no very great diff
