DR.. ALFRED WHEELER, the editor of
the Pittsburgh Christian Advocate,
which is one of the most powerful and
able official organs of the Methodist
Church, is temperance man of advan-
ced views, and not afraid to give them
uttcrance. Yet, when asked "Did Gov.
Foster say that the Methodist preach
ers ought to be snubbed?' He denies
it; can you answer in the Advocate? r
DIR. Wheeler editoiially responded as
follows:
We know nothing personally of the
matter, but if Gov Foster denies it, we
should not question his word. We know
that in former years he was a'friend of
ihe Methodist preachers and of the
Methodist church, and was one Of their
best supporters in FOstoria. ~
DIR. Wheeler is gentleman who does
not believe in advancing any cause by
lying or Misrepresentation. He has
been officially stationed in Fostoria. we
are told, and knows whereof he affirms.

A TUSCAN dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Star has advices from Fort Grant
to the following effect: Three couriers
have now come into Camp Thomas, all
bringing the same news, that Gen. Carr
and command have all been massacred
by the White Mountain Indians, thirty
five miles from Camp Apache. One
hundred and ten men and seven officers
were killed. The officers must be Gen.
Carr, Capt. Henley, Lieuts. Carter, Cor
dOl, Stanton,: Orves and DR.. McCreery.
The White Indian reservation is located
about 100 miles south of Wilcox, near
the line of New Mexico. The tribe
numbers about j 800 IN all. TREY can
muster 400 warriors. This is the only
tribe of Apaches which have not been
whipped into subsection. They were
moved in 1879 into the San Carlos reser.
walton, but were recalled and returned
to their old hunting grounds, where they
have been ever since. t,s..,.t ..f d.
! LATER The stories of the massacre
by the Apaches in Arizona appear to
have been greatly exaggerated. Capt
Heulig. of the 9th Calvary, and ten men
were. killed, and the Indian losses are
reported to have been large. s...

Senator EdmundsOn the Pending Is

Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, was
asked tospeak at the Massachusetts, Re
publican State Convention in September.
After excusing himself on, account of
his health, he proceeds to lay down .
most admirable platform:
The contest for the practical supreIna-
cy ofour principles is one that, in the
nature of things, rarely ends, for, in
some form or other, the safety of equal
rights-equal in benefit and equal in
BURDENS always menaced. Some of
the immediate measures for these final
objects of good government think, ought
to be: To preserve the laws for the Sc
curity of the National civil rights; to
make as effective as possible, provisions
for the purity and fairness of Congress-
ional elections; to establish by law the
methods of ascertaining the result of
Presidential elections so as to give the
conclusive effect the Constitution de-
mands to the action of each State, and
to prevent the exercise by the Houses of
Congress of anything in the nature of
appellate or reyisory power over the ac-
tiOn of the constituted authority of the
State in such cases; to so improve the
civil service as TO diminish, and, if pos
sible, remove the evils of plaeeihunting
and the interchange of favors between
the members of the legislative and exec
utiye branches of government, and to
free the tenure of a great number of Of
ficers from dependence upon political
opinion; to readjust the revenue laws
upon the basis of producing the greatest
revenue with the least and nearest equal
burden to' the people, and of developing
and encouraging the industrial pur3uits
of every calling of our citizens; to bring
both the theory and practice of the Gov
srnment in regard to the currency to the
point of a fixed and uniform metallic
standard of values and making coin on
ly legal tender in the payment of
debts. and to promote so far as the Ma
tional Government can lawfully do so,
the increase and diffusion of education
among all the citizens, and in every part
of the Republic. Surely, if l am right
in these views, there is occupation
enough for our grand party to induce us
to drop all internal rivalries and dissen-
sions, wherever they may exist, and to
strive, with unity and with zeal, for the
success that am confident will follow.
do not doubt that the Republicans of
Massachusetts, will do their full share
in this good work.

THE REMOVAL MOVEMENT.
The Democratic Convention Infuses
New Life into the MOvement-What
the Bellaire Papers have to Say
about it.
From Bellaire Daily Independent.

From Bellaire Daily Independent.
The Removalists got all they asked
for from the convention and came home
happy. tcT iE -
The Democratic Convention ought to
have gone step farther, and placed the
name of Patterson. the Removalist can
didate for Commissioner, on the ticket.
The Romovalists must see that they
are not cheated at the polls. The DEM
Ocratic managers are sly, sir; devilish
sly, and there will be. a disposition to
claim the whole thing as a Democratic
victory. This must not he allowed.
The Republicans who have identified
themselves with the Removal party and
are making a sacrifice of the interests of
their party in this county, mustsee to it
that the advancement of the cause of
Removal is sufficient to compensate
them for the temporary disadvantage
of the party to which they belong.
The Removalists must now prepare
for vigorous campaign ON behalf Ofthier
ticket. There must be no backing down.
That part of the ticket which is not
found on either of the party tickets
must be given, if possible, a larger vote
than the parts that will lie voted for by
the supporters of the party tickets. The
number of votes cast for that part of
the ticket that is in no way entangled
with either of the political parties will
represent the men who are really in
earnest in the matter of Removal, and
it is important that they be all counted
where they will do the most good.
Give your support to the Removal
ticket. Bellaire voters should be unit
on this matter.
There is more unity among the people
of Bellaire in the matter of supporting
the RemOyalist ticket than few weeks
ago. There ought to be no division of
sentiment on this questions .and we think
by election day there will be political
unanimity.
For once the citizens of Bellaire will
try to get along without political meet
ings. Democrats will vote their State
ticket without persuasion, and Republi-
cans will do the same. Influential vO-
ters of both parties say they will not at
tend or encourage political meetings
this year, but will give their whole time
to work for the Removal party. This
will be quite as well, and will save the
noise. strife and cost of political caln-
paign. ~ n a.a
There ought to be practical unanimi-
ty in this city in support of the Reno
val ticket. Elsewhere there may be a
division of sentiment in regard to this
matter, but there should be none among
the voters of Bellaire OF vicinity.
