CONFLICT OF JURISDICTION.

The fastest political outrage, from the
stalwart standpoint, has occurred in the
Indian Territory, nnd is communicated in
the following report:
FORT SILL, INDIAN TERRITORY, No
vember Go General Sherman: Deputy
United States Marshal Johnson arrested
in this vicinity about ten citizens, three
for receiving stolen United States proper
ty. Johnson started to Dallas with the
prisoners, but was overtaken by the
Sheriff Of the county with q Posse.
Johnson and tho prisoners were
brought before the local civil au-
thorities, the prisoners were released
and Johnson held to answer for false i'm
prisonment. Johnson rearrested the
prisoners, was fined for contempt OF
court, went to Dallas, returned with
warrants and arrested the local court civ
il officers for resistance. The prisoners
first arrested defy Johnson, arc armed
and threaten to resist him and to prevent
the removal of the civil officers held as
prisoners. The marshal is powerless-
all the citizens, headed by the local civil
officers, resist and obstruct him. Am
satisfied he could not arrest men taken
from him by the local authorities nor Of
feet the removal of civil officers held as
prisoners. The ordinance storehouse has
not been robbed by the citizens, but
about a year ago by soldier who is
serving his sentence therefor. Have
declined to take any part in the squab-
BILE, unless ordered by competent au-
thority.

No action as yet has been taken on this
dispatch by the War department, but
tho instance will probably cause another

though it did not happen in the South,
such occurrences may happen here some
time, and they had as well abuse us in

The Khedive of Egypt some weeks ago
gave to the city of New York one of the
ancient obelisks at Cairo known as Cleo
patra's needle. Just before it was about
to be moved some of the Egyptian cred
itors had it levied upon for their debts,
and thus caused the parties trying to re-
move it some inconvenience. The levies
were, however, disposed of in some way,
and then the ingenuity of the Yankee
came in to prevent further levies, which
was effectually done by hosting the
United States flag from the obelisk, thus
claiming it as American property, and
announcing to the world that it issunder
American protection, so that no who
levies on it in future will insult this great
nation, and bring down upon him the
vengeance of our whole army and navy.
1t is needless to add that the obelisk will
probably have no further lcvies to pre-
vent it's removal.

The venerable Rev. Lovick Pierce, D.
D., perhaps the most noted of the old
Methodist ministers Of the State Of
Georgia, died at his home in Sparta on
last Monday, in the ninety-fifth year Of
his age. He was at one time pastor of
the Washington Street Methodist Church
in Columbia, and was the father of
Bishop George F. Pierce. He was an
able minister, and was universally be-
loved and respected both within and
without his own denomination. At the
time of his death he is believed to have
been the oldest Methodist minister in the
world. His decease will be regretted
wherever he was known, for his useful
ness has been great and his character was
pure and loyable.

ATTEMPT TO JYScH.-On Friday even
ing last, about 7 o'clock, and before the
stores had been closed in the town OF
Lexington, party of about fifty or sew
enty-five mounted men rode up to the
Jail at that place, called for the Sheriff
and demanded the surrender Of the col
ored man who had been imprisoned there
on the charge Of being the murderer OF
Mr.. Hook. They were not masked, and
their demcanor was very quiet and de-
termined. The Sheriff informed them
that the man they sought was not there,
but they insisted on proof of that fact.
Their committee were then taken into
tho Jail and shown tho receipt Of tho Su-
perintendent of the Penitentiary for the
body Of the negro. The party then quiet
ly withdrew and rode out Of town, max
ing no demonstration, except tho firing
of one or two pistols. They had come
through Main street from the uppcr part
of the village, and their approach was
very sudden and quiet. The residents
expressed great Indignation at this de-
monstration, and say that the prisoner
shall and will have fair trial according
to law. 1t is believed that q jury will do
exact justice in the case when it comes
before them.-C0lambid Register, 9h inst.

HOMICIDE IN NEwBERRY.-A rumor
reaches us that on Friday night white
man was found dead in Newberry, his
body lying about fifty yards from the
railroad track, and on the spot where the
circus tent had stood, and from which IT
had Just been removed. His pockets
were turned inside out, and one of the
button holes of his vest was torn as il his
watch chain had been rudely snatchcd
away. a police officer went to the train
on which the circus company had taken
passage for Columbia, and requested tho
conductor to wait until the Sheriff and
his officers could como and search the
train for tho person who had done the
killing. Tho conductor waited as long
as he thought himself authorized i'll do
ing, and then brought his train away bo-
fore the Sheriff arrived. Later accounts
from Newbcrry say that tho man whose
dead body was found, as above stated,
was that of Mr.. Munro, of Laurenss,
and that ho was robbed of S25, watch
and ring. A blow on the back of the
head is reported to be the cause OF his

It is stated that Senator. Thurman has
been urged to settle in Missouri for the
purpose of running for the United States
Senate at the expiration of his present
term in 1881, and that should he consent
to do so his election is sure. It is not
probable that the Ohio Senator would
consent to become anything like car
pet-bagger, but If he should decide to
settle in Missouri, and should be sent to
the Senate from that State, it would be a
decided gain for the Senate and the party.
We wish all of the Southern States could
send one good reliable Union Democrat
to the Senate. It would help us very
much. indeed.

1t was suggested to Hon. Horatio Sey-
mour few days ago that perhaps the
Democratic party in its present straits
would nominate him for the Presidency
in 1880, and, in response to the sugges-
ton, the sage of Oneida replied: 81 have
an idea that the sentiment and wishes OF
both the political parties turn to younger
and more vigorous men, and all I ask
now is to be left in peace" If Hon.
Samuel Jones Tilden could be induced
to reason as impartially with himself, it
would be better for the Democratic party,
and the result would be less mortifying
to him than it will otherwise be. Mr..
Tilden's day has passed, and he has al
lowed his opportunity to pass unim-
proved. He should now be content to

Some of our exchanges suggest that
the next Democratic ticket should be
Gen. Hancock, Of Pennsylvania, for Pres
ident, and John Quincy Adams, of Mas
sachusetts, for Vice-President, and claim
that if they were nominated the Democ-
racy would carry Pennsylvania and Mas
sachusetts. We do not agree with these
conclusions, however, for in the late elec-
ton in Massachusetts, Mr.. Long, the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, in
round numbers. received $4,000 votes
B. F. Spoon Butler, the conglomerate
candidate, 100000, and Mr.. Adams only
10000. That does not look much like
carrying Massachusetts, for the Demo-
Gratis.

GEN. GRANT IN GALENA.-A telegram
from Galena, ILL.,, Gen. Grants former
home, dated November 5, gives the fol-
lowing particulars of his reception there:
The train bearing Gen. Grant and party
reached Galena at $3.50 p. IN. AS the train
came in salurcs were fired, and the
streets around tho station were literally
packed with people. Militia from Ga
lena and neighboring towns was in line
at the depot, and the band played "Auld
Lang Syne' as Gen. Grant descended
from the carriage with the Mayor of
Galena, Gov. Cullom, Mrs. Grant, and
the rest of the party following. The pro-
cession then formed and made a circuit
of the town. Every building was deco
rated and elaborate arches were erected
in several streets. The school children
sang America" in front of Gen. Grants
at platform, where a formal greeting
was extended by State Senator Mcclellan,
in answer to which Gen. Grant said:
Citi=cns of Galena It is with some en-
barrassment that reply that your well
come is exceedingly gratifying to me;
but it is difficult for me to reply to what
I have just heard, to what have seen.
Since 1 first left here, eighteen years ago,
it has always been the greatest pleasure
for me to return to Galena; and now,
after an absence of two and half years
from your city, during which time 1 have
visited almost every country in tho
world, it is pleasure to be greeted in
this manner by you. During my travels
I received princely honors; but they
were all due to this country and to you
as citizens and as sovereigns of so great
country. When saw during my alb
sence, especially in the far East, how
hard the inhabitants had to toll even for
maintenance, realized more than ever
the greatness Of our country, where want
is scarcely ever known, and where the
question of sustenance is not daily con-
sidered. I will only add that 1 thank
you again for your reception.
1t was fully five minutes before the
cheers which greeted the Generals
speech had subsidized. The General then
held reception at the De Soto House.

Yesterday Sunday morning the wife of
James Adams, living three miles from
Lancaster, during her husbands absence,
in fit of insanity killed her whole fam
lily of five children by cutting the throats
of four, and cutting the infant in five or
six places. She placed all in q bed, set
herself on fire, and rushed to aneighbor's
house so badly burnt that she died in
few minutes. When asked where her
children were, she said: ~ have sent
them to Heaven" The neighbor's rushed

Congress. A better thing for the Demo-
Gratis to have done would have been to
admit neither, for without the vote OF
Colorado Mr.. Hayes could not have been
President at this time. 1t will be re-
membered that Hayes only received 1S5
votes to Tilden's 1s4, after giving the Re-
publicans 10 votes from South Carolina,
Louisiana and Florida, which they did
not receive. If the three votes of Colo
RADIO had not been admitted, the vote
would have stood, Tilden Isl and Hayes
1S2, so that there would have been no
chance to steal the Presidency for the
Republicans, even with the help of an
electoral commission.

throp, written after the matter ON

stalwart Northern heart:
OFFICE q. s. DISTRICT ATTORNEY
FoR SOUTH CAROLINA,
CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. ~, 1879.
Isaac W. Hayne, Esq, Chairman Board Of
Commissioners, Charleston, S. c.:
SIR-At your request, I beg to put in
shape the complaints made to me.
The complaint is this, that at the polling
precinct in Middle street, Stephen Dean, a
butcher. stall No. 4S lower market, resi-
dence 300 East Bay, opposite Inspection
street, was denied the right to register, the
managers, or one of them, refusing to take
his oath, and requiring him to get a ,uhite
man to certify to his qualification. To this
charge he is ready to make oath and that
he was forcibly taken away by the police,
under orders Of the managers, and not
allowed to be examined under oath.
This is the complaint, whether true or
false. He demands protection in his right
to register. Second, the same complaint is
made at the same poll in the same way by
Asbury Mitchell; residence, 81 Marsh
street; trade, shoemaker; occupation, la
borer.
Both these men are personally endorsed
by ex-Mayor George I. Cunningham, and it
is my official duty to pay instant attention
to these complaints.
do not mean to say that these complaints
are general, as these parties are the only
ones who have personally reported to me !;
me that over fifty such cases have individu-
ally been reported to him by the complain
ants in person, many of whom he knows.
and Mr.. George I. Cunningham also de.
cleres to me that more than fifty exactly
such cases have been reported to him by
parties who have been denied the right to
qualify by registration, to exercise their
right to vote at the ensuing election.
1t would seem to me, from the most care
full consideration that have given this SUBJ
ject. the law and authorities bearing upon
it, that to require colored man to- secure
the personal endorsement of white man,
before being allowed to register, or even
being examined on his corporal oath, is in
clear violation of the Federal statutes made
in pursuance of the Constitutional amend
ment.
understand also that this requirement is
outside of your Instructions. 1 have to re-
gret that my official attention has been
called to this matter, and that city cleo
ton, in which the struggle seems to be q
family quarrel, cannot pass without these
complaints.
I have only hurriedly written exactly
what charge has been made and how it
looks to me officially, as you have request
ed me to do, and am, with great respect,
your obedient servant,
L. G. NoRTHRoP, U. S. Attorney.
P. S.-While writing and while closing
this letter ten or o dozen and more have
come into the Office, and they are streaming
in yet, all with the same or kindred charge.

and is being towed to Philadelphia by
tug.
