ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, October Do
There is trouble at Navajo reserva-
ton, the result of an effort being made
to have renegade Red Skins taken
back to the reservation. The fear
that they may commit murder is
causing considerable anxiety among
the isolated settlers. A band recent
ly purchased a hundred gallons of
whisky which they peddled out to
the other Indians, and some of them
have become threatening. General
s. Mills and Carr are at Fort Defiance,
comforting with Agent Patterson and
the head men of Navajos, with view
of having the renegades rounded up
and ordered back to the reservation.

A Fiendish Brute.

HoPKINsvILLE, KY, October %
Information from Guthrie, Todd coun-
ty, gives details of an inhuman TRACE
dy that occurred near there on Satur-
day. A colored man named Smith,
became Infatuated at his wife and beat
her to death. Being pursued by the
sheriff, he then grabbed up their little
child and fed, and upon reaching the
barn yard, he threw the child
into the pond, where it was
drowned. An officer attempting
to arrest him, Smith also sprang into
the water, resolved to perish rather
than be taken alive, but help was
called, and he was drawn out and
carried to Springfield, Tenn, where
he is in Jail. The feeling is so strong
against him that he may be -lynched.
The tragedy had its origin in family
matters, but being jealous of his wife.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

BALLJNGER, November Goth, 1883.
To the LIGHT.
This letter finds me at the county
seat of Runnell's county, leaving Col.
Belknap at Coleman.
So far have had a pleasant journey.
Generous rains have put new heart
into the ranch and grain men, and
farmers in this county are putting in
wheat quite briskly. The acreage will
be largely increased over that of last
season. This town is growing stead
lily and business seems good. Repub-
licans are scarcer than hens teeth,
but those who are here are staunch
and true. Some gains will be secured
from the protection democracy, but
how many can only be determined by
the ballots cast. The vote of the cOun-
ty for Judge Rector four years since
was only four. There has been con-
siderable change since then but how
great can not now be said. The en-
tire vote has increased % per cent in
that time and the republican vote
about 1000 per cent. The roll
ing lands here are a
black prairie loan, and are well
adapted to grain culture, though
not so rich as the chocolate colored
lands of the bottoms and valleys.
Wheat averaged thirty bushels this
season, and oats about seventy-five,
some fields yielding as high as one
hundred and ten bushels to the acre.
Corn produced about forty bushels,
and acreage at least 80 per cent great
er than in any previous year. This
increase will also hold good both for
oats and wheat.
Spent yesterday at Lampasas where
Col. Belknap was royalty received
and made marked impression.
Your correspondent had to lock
horns with the Hon. J. ID. Sayers at
the courthouse there yesterday, and
Col. Belknap's friends are satisfied
with the issue. The Cnlonels opening
address in the debate was fine bust
ness statement of the issues and very
effectively presented. His delivery
was good, and his printed speech will
tell the rest.
There is more fight in this cam
paign than appears on the surface,
and the undercurrent of dissatisfac-
ton with the existing conditions
seem still and deep.
There is little time for press cor
respondence, travelling and speaking
night and day, and talking to hun
dreds of people in business way.
We cut loose from railway communi-
cations in few hours, and have two
or three hundred miles of travel by
private conveyance before striking
the iron grooves of commerce again.
Our protection candidate makes
friends everywhere, and his friends
at home must leave no work undOne
to secure him support. Till 1 resume
my seat in the old LIGHT sanctum, on
the day of election, I have work cut
out for me that will prevent any ex-
tended correspondence. NJ.

A prominent reformed democrat of

the following:
Congressman J. D. Savers tele-
graphed his manager here from
Washington that he would be here
yesterday, and every effort has been
made to arouse enthusiasm. Their
labors We're rewarded by collecting
about $50 voters at the courthouse to
receive their chief. To their great
surprise Col. Augustus Belknap put
in his appearance and asked divis-
ion of time, which was accorded him.
The result was a complete victory for
Belknap. More than half those pres
ent will vote for him, and he is
stronger in the county than in the
city, aud will doubtless carry this
county.
