A Deep Laid Radical scheme.

Deep Laid Radical Scheme.
We are told that the Northern Radicalsd0 not
intend to make much effort to break up the solid
democratic South. We can understand. that
move very easily. They have sent Weaver, the
Greenback candidate for President, down South
to do that for them. Weaver says he is sure to
carry Alabama and believes he can count on Mis-.
sissippi. While we do not believe any such
wild calculations, it Is very plain that Weaver
and his satellites are working like Beavers in
those States, and il they should carry either Of
them II would be in the interest Of the Repub-
lcan candidates.
They have sent Weaver down South for that
purpose, while they spend all their money and
all their efforts to merely hold those North
ern States that went Republican in 1876, anil
also defeat sufficient number of Northern demo-
cratic Congressman TO give them Radical
Greenback majority in Congress, If the Presi-
Dental election should be thrown into the House
Of Representatives, for want Of majority Of
the electoral votes in the electoral college.
1t is very apparent to US that there is o COM
bination between the Northern Radicals and the
leaders Of the Grcenback party, to defeat the
Democratic candidates for President and Vice.
President. This they expect to do by carrying
ono Southern State for the Greenbackers. II
they succeed, it will be by the solid vote of the
Republicans combined with the weak -kneed, sore
head democrats; but il will be found that the re.
wards of Office will be divided, at the South,
between Republicans and those leading Green,
hackers who are now aiding them to oonsumate
such On infamous scheme-not loaf or q fish
will their deluded democratic followers get for
their apostacy. Mark our prediction.

THE INDIANS.

DENVER, Col, Aug, IA special
from Santa Fe says: Gen. Bryne,
of Fort Worth, Texas, who was
wounded by the Indians in a recent
attack on the mail coach between
Quitman and Eagle Springs, died
last night of his wounds. The
Indians are on the Mexican side of
the river, but demoralized and have
lost considerable in men, their sup
ply camp, twenty head of cattle and
a good many head of horses by the
9th cavalry in Siena Diablo. They
have made no other stand since the
fight in Rattlesnake canon. The
bulk of Gen. Grierson's command is
now at Sulphur springs, following a
large trail, and part of the command
under Capt. Noland has already ar
rived at Quitman in pursuit. Gen.
Grierson has been very successful in
encountering and heading Victoria
off and driving him him back to
Mexico. It is beliyed United States
troops will cross the river and take
up and follow Victoria's trail.

GOLD IN NEW MEXICO.

SANTA FE, N. NJ, Aug. 13.-A SEN
sation was created here the day be-
fore yestarday by the announcement
of a rich mining strike in the Mexi-
can village of Los Placitas, about
thirty miles distant The village is
built of adobe huts and corrals, and
the foundations of the houses are of
rock. The prospector, Jesse Master,
detected mineral in this rock. He
pounded up and hammered some of
it, getting a rich result in gold. He
located the streets of the town from
whence gold rock was taken, and
had assays made with a
clear result of $4,000 of
gold to the ton, the lowest grade of
rock assayed being $43. Governor
Lew Wallace has just returned from
the place. He paced off the lead,
making it 84 PAGES in width. Its
length is not known, but nine thou
sand feet along the vein has been
located. Subsequent assays in Santa
Fe give from three to six thousand
dollars per ton. The whole of the
village is built on a ledge, and rock
worth three dollars per pound has
been thrown about as worthless. 2 /.

trary notwithstanding. We believe
the sheriff was entirely justifable in
counting that ward as he did, and that
he could not have counted it otherwise
without going behind the returns. But
were we to admit all they claim, W hich
we do not, then it would have been
tie, Mr.. Reeder would have had the
casting vote, aud the result would
have been all the same. We repeat
then, that in cur opinion the sheriff
acted honestly, and that he could have
reached no other decision, with the
returns before him, than that he did
reach.
In this connection we are Informed
there was good deal Of money bet on
the result, and while We do not
include Msj. Webb among those who
have money at stake, we have
no doubt if these bets
were out of the way that there would
be great deal less complaint at Sheriff
Reeder for what we regard as his just
and lawful decision, and less angry
feeling among the parlisans of Mr..
Anderson. Some men make great
deal more noise over the loss of litN
| tie money than they do over party

ANOTHER CATHOLIC DISAS-
TER.

Mays LANDING, N. j., Aug. 13.-
The two-year old daughter of Mrs.
McCrystal died here last night from
injuries received in the collision on
the Atlantic City road. This is the
eldest of two children of the McCrys-
tai family who were all scalded and
burned. Their mother died in Phila-
delphia last night. The death of the
McCrystal child makes the list Of
killed 18. There are still several
persons unaceounted for, and it if
proposed to drag the Great Egg
Harbor river, near the scene of the
accident, in the hope of recovering
the bodies of the missing. .-.
A coroner's inquest was held here
to-day upon the body of one of the
victims of the railway accident at this
place Wednesday. The train men
and number of other witnesses were
examined, and a verdict rendered
that the deceased came to his death
by accident, for which neither the
railroad company nor its employees
are directly responsible. The en-
gineer and conductor of the second
section of the train are still held,
however, for the action of the grand
Jury.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 13.-A special
from Santa Fe says information from
Elpaso is to the effect that rs or 100
Indians either from Victoria's own
band or those from Mexico who had
aided Victoria, and who have been
lowering for the past few days be-
tween Old Fort Quitman and Eagle
Springs, crossed the Rio Grande,
near Quitman, this morning, headed
south into the state of Chihuahua.
Col. Buel, commanding the Mexi.
can troops in the field against these
Indians, has been notified by cour-
ier and will endeavor to cut them off.
A column, of Indians numbering
about 100, constituting the main por-
ton Of Victeria's force, passed the Rio
Grande later in the day. They evi-
dently found COL Grierson's com
mand after the fight in Rattlesnake
canon, in possession of the watering
places, and passed north, and had to
