The Squaw Murder.
Car,on Appeal, October IS.


It appears that the killing Of the
squaw on Friday last in Csnnon's barn
grew out Of Q social scandal. The
woman who was killed was the mother
Of two children and 10 spoken OF by the
other Indians as Q very exemplary
woman whose only object in life was to
remain ut home aud care for her family.
The murderess was a young Saltwater
squaw and unmarried. About two years
age she met the murdered woman's buck
and enticed him away from his home.
The two lived together but were obliged
to move from place to place as the in
jured was constantly on their
track. The truant husband finally got
tired Of this sort Of thing and leaving
his mistress came back to his wife. The
other followed him up and the two met
face to face on Friday last for the first
time. The woman who killed the other
was under the influence OF liquor, and
walking up to the wife asked her II she
would consent to give her husband up.
She had hardly shaken her head in re-
ply before she was stabbed with q knife.
the wound penetrating the left lung.
The murderrss Is still in custody and
the officers are at work on the case TO
make the evidence complete.

CHILL.
Some Particulars of the Plucky Little Re-
public that Has Been So Successful
in the Present South
American War.
New York Times.I

tN6W i OTk lineS.I
Chill haS by her late brilliant victories over
Peru and Bolivia come to the front Gistin-
gushing herself by courage dash aud energy
very Unusual with the South American repub
lice. Indeed. she has, ever since achieving
her Independence, fifty years ago, been noted
for the intelligence and juaIetuns admiuistra-
tiun OF her affairs compared with the govern
ments by which she Is surrounded. She has
enjoyed, too, a degree of peace and prosperity
which the other common weathS Of kindred
race have not known, owing uuQueStiOnably
to the larger proportion Of Europeans among
her inhabitants. Chilli Is divided iato sixteen
provt ces, OF which the aggregate area Is
100000 square miles. containing, In 1875, Il
population of 206S447 Santiago is the capt.
tai. and the principal port, Vap tratsO, is con-
nected with 1t by rall ana telegraph. Her
total exports In 1874 were about $37 900 900,
and her imports $3S, 100000, the chief export
being "copper" generally more than one-third
of the entire amount. he foreign commerce
is carried on mainly with Great Britain, which
sends there great deal OF iron and cotton
and wooden manufactures. Five years ago
the army, raised by subscription, was but
35l6 men, and the navy, ten small steamers
and the two large iron clad! which have
proved SO effective In recent engagements.
While Roman Catholicism Is the prevailing
creed. other creeds are protected by laws late
~ passed. Chill Is the least Democratic State,
politically, Ia the Western Hemisphere. The
Legislature IS composed of two houses, the
Chamber OF Deputies and the Senate. The
Deputies sit for three years. and the Senators
are chosen for nine years, retiring by thirds
at the end of every third year. In order to
vote for Deputy, one must possess either
$500 In real or $1,000 In personal property, and
nearly twice as much to vote for a Senator.
In Santiago and Valparaiso, where wealth is
more abundant the qualifying amount needs
to be doubled. In 1S48 attempts We're vainly
made to abolish or modify these restrictions
upon suffrage. The country has succeeded so
well under the prevailing system that any
change would, 1t Is argued, be accompanied
with more or less peril. Five years ago the
republic had only about 1000 miles of railway,
and there Is still great lack OF highways, both
as to quantity and quality. The absence of
these and OF bridges is serious bar to develop
ment and progress. Nevertheless, for South
American State, Chill Is ANONYMOUSLY pros
porous,
