Republican TorchlIght Procession As
saulted i'm the "City OF Churches y
Mary Persons Wounded.
NEW York, September 22d-A. Mast
evening Republican torchlight procession
occurred in Brooklyn, concerning which the
Tribune has the following episode: The
Eighth Ward had, when its three organiza-
tions started, over 200 men in line. On reach
ing Third street, and just as two boys who
were in the rear reached building IN
course of erection, motley crowd
which had been lying in ambush suddenly
rushed from the building, and every man let
fiy at the men in line a brick or stone. Cap
tain Woodhead, who has wooden leg, at
once turned the Garfield Battery and Boys In
Blue to the rescue. The street was very
torches vet. The stones and bricks came
so fast and thick that the men became
panic-stricken, more especially as some of
them were falling. bleeding and groaning
The lines were soon broken, although Captain
Woodhead succeeded in forming them twice
Resistance was not etfectual, and to retreat
seemed the best possible course to pur-
sue; so after defending themselves as
best they could as far as Douglass and
Court street, twelve blocks away, the men
found themselves reduced to few. After
making every effort to find their eomrades'
only fifty out of the 200 could be gottogether.
and of these many were badly wounded early
in the struggle. Uniforms were torn from
the men, and it is thought that many
must have been very seriously injured.
sconding Vermont Bank President.
OMAHA, September 21st.-A decided SEN
sation was created in Omaha to day by the
arrest of Silas M. Waite, abscending Peesi-
dent of the First National Bank of Brattle-
boro, Vt, whose defalcations amount to
$3.50, 900. He was arrested at the house OF
his brother-in-law, Truman Buck, we'll
known and respectable citizen, the arrest
being made by ". II. ii. Lewellyn and W.
A. Shields, special Government agents OF the
Department of Justice, assisted by Charles
Sweesey, of the Omaha postotfice. AT the
time of the arrest Mr.. Buck and his family
were away from home, attending the
State Fair. The house was surrounded
and Waite ran into the cellar and tried to
make his escape thrC ugh back door. When
caught he threatened suicide and precautions
were taken to prevent any such result. de
was taken to jail to await further sction. 1t
is said that during the last three months he
has made occasional visits to this city, always
stopping at his brother in. laws house. When
he fied from Brattleboro in June last, it was
quite generally supposed that he had gone to
Europe, but in time it was discovered that
he was still in this country, and the Govern
ment took hold of the case, as he has CON-
mitted an offense against the Govern
ment in his various transactions. he
was traced via Duluth to the Winnepeg
country, thence to Wyoming. where he in
tended to stock cattle ranch, and had al
ready begun to carry out his project. 1t is
suspected that during the past eight or nine
years he has quietly invested money In Ne
braska or elsewhere, having sent money here
quite frequently. His transactions at Brat
| tleboro consisted principally in forged paper,
embracing Vermilye & Co. of New York for
| S75, 600; @. j. Amedon of Hinsdale, S15,-
600, Taunton Locomotive Works, sl2,0oo !;
| Frederick Billings. $50, 600: Lyon Healy
of Chicago, $40, GOO; Trenor w. Park, $780,
600; Connecticut River Railroad, $500
The Springfield and Banton banks were
heavy losers by this forged paper. The Di-
rectors of the Brattleboro Bank offered S.
600 reward, which the officers who arrested
him claim. Quite large sum was tele-
graphed him here from New York few
days ago by his son, and that is now here and
can be recovered.

fsh Brutality.
CHICAGO, September 21st. = The Inter.
Oceans Springfield, Tenn, special says
Sometime ago white man was found dead
in this vicinity. He was a bachelor of con-
siderable property, and lived at Sadersville.
He was not politician, but a planter of
good character, and was undoubtedly muir
dered by some highwayman for booty.
| Nevertheless the Democrats of this section
took advantage of the occurrence for political
effect, and soon after arrested seven of the
colored Republican leaders-the best men,
and those of political infuence-and charged
them with this crime. They were sent to
jail, and tortured by all methods known to
the Inquisition to induce them to con-
fess their guilt. They were whipped,
hung by the toes and thumbs, and would have
died under the torture if they had not been
men of extraordinary constitutions. OF
course no confession could be obtained, and
no evidence against any of the prisoners was
secured by the Prosecuting Attorney, who,
| by the way, was Democrat. The men who
investigated the outrage endeavored to have
the trial postponed until after the election
| but being unable to secure postponement,
they organized mob of $50 Democrats, at
tackled the Jail at night, and lynched two of
the colored men. The remainder will be held
for trial. The object of the lynching was to
terrify the colored men, and has been accom-
plished. While the Democrats here all dep
recate the tendency to give political color to
the outrage, and attribute the lynching to
public feeling among the whites, the colored
people all understand what is meant by it,
and have taken warning. The colored men
who were lynched were respectable, law
abiding citizens, and active Republicans.

ST. LOUIS, September 21st.-Judge Krom,
James o. Broadhead and John F. Phillips,
committee to report on the status of the Gov.
eminent lands Of Indian Territory, and par
ticularly in the Oklehama strip, will report
to citizens meeting tonight that the juris
diction of this vast territory was not acquired
from the Indians, but by purchase of the
United States from France. The Indians
never had a It'll. to the country, and simply
occupy it under contract and permission from
the United States. The Government has by
various so called treaties assigned to the In

but has never granted freehold of the lane
