LORDSBURG5, II arch Sl-the In dian outbreak seem, 10 be assum- ing alarming proportions. A Rich m nd special gives intelligence of lhe kiiing cf two more. making q total Of nine white men in the rast twenty-four hours. This thing is becoming monotonous Had the gose nment left sufficient force at richmond, Works, and Clifton, iu- stead of withdrawing them in Oc- tober last, as was done, this outrage would have been avoiicd. It will doustless be a repetition of the old story so sadly illus rate in April of last year. The indians will flee into Old Mexico. The troops w,ll f.. low at safe distance, and Washing on dispatches will teem with reports of the troops being in hot pursuit and all that sort oI balder dash, bnt the fact will remain u at these lives have been lost, ard that they would have been saved had the imhecile policy of the government been more vigor ous ana prompt instead of what it is an1 has been for years past. The citizens arc able to rely upon them selves, but 10 do so, it is advisable that the troops be withdrawn in toto. Capt4in James F. Black and Lis company of the Shakespeare Guards, d portion of whom, under his con- mand, have recently been doing noble work in capturing a number of the rustlcrs, among them, John Kinney, will leave tonight for Rich mond and the Gila with about thirty men. It is reported that tie Indians number one hundrei. Great fears are entertained here for the .fety of tie settlers in the Gila Valley, and there is . possibility of an att.lck be- ing made uron the labarers along the line of the Lor,lsburg and Clifton railroad.

 The Star Route Case.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., March 27- In the Star route case, when Dorsey took the stand, Merrick made point as to whether witness would corsi- der an cath bearing upon his cons> cience, and whether a violation would have any effect on his future state.
 Ingersoll at once jumped up and delivered an impassioncd harangue claiming th..t Merrick sought to perpetuate a monstrosity of the dark ages. After a hot argument the court said that the act of March 6, 1876, made defendant witness, which settled the legal point, and he would not consider the theologi- cal point.
 Merrick wanted to know what, under that view, was the necessity of swearing witness?
 The court repliel that he might be punished for perjury if he failed to tell tue truth.
 Dorsey's testimony was complete denial of all the charges.
