Deception Practiced Upon Indian Democrats
by the Hendricks Club Managers.
Gpecias to the INDIANAPOLIS Journaa.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-To-day a Journal
correspondent learned that the grossest and
most persistent misrepresentation imaginable
was perpetrated by Democratic management
mt Indianapolis in advertising their meeting,
which took place there this week. Up to al
most the hour of convention was called to
order, it was said that among those who would
be present would be Governor Hill, of New
York. and Representative Scott. of Pennsyl-
vania. The latter said this evening when the
subject was mentioned to him, that he never
had any idea of attending the meeting, and that
more than two weeks ago he informed the COM
mittee at Indianapolis to that affect. He said
that as long ago as three weeks Governor Hill
had also written the committee that he could
not be present, and all representations to the
contrary, within the last three weeks, have
been with the knowledge that they were false
and intended to deceive Democrats of Indiana,
and get large attendance at the meeting.

The War of the McCoys and Ha,fie1ds.

CATLETTsBURG, KY, JAM 12.-The war of ex-
termination goes on between the McCoys. of Pike
county, Kentucky, and the Hatields, of Logan
county, West Virginia AS soon as the last sad
rites OF the late butchery were over. the McCoys
organized a posse and visited the Hatfield settle
ment in West Virginia for the purpose of ami
hilating the gang, and a regular war ensued.
After the smoke of the battle had cleared away
it was found that the Hatfield party badly
worsted and three Of their number were killed,
while none of the Mccoy posse were hurt.
Those known to be killed were johnson Hat
field, Thomas Chambers and James Vance.
Vance has killed several men in the Mccoy
neigh borhood, and had to leave in consequence.
The authorities are powerless, and the war will,
doubtless be waged until one side or the other
is completely exterminated.

fore the latter part of next week.

BILE to try the After exhausting al

tanned. The hearing of testimony began this aft
ernoon at o'clock. The first witness introduced
was Miss Belle Hay. sister of the murdered man.
She was with her brother at the time the killing
occurred, and over her shoulder the fatal shot
was fired. Her testimony did not differ
materially from the statements she
made to Journal correspondents shortly
after the killing. There are nearly
200 witnesses in the The court
room was densely packed with spectators, and
seldom has any trial in this county excited SO
much interest Robinson sits beside his attor-

Senator Stewards Position.

Washington Special.
The Stewart correspondence, with all it length.
by means justifes the sweeping inference at
made by Democratic and mugwump pa
pers that the Nevada Senator will vote for
Lamar's confirmation. 1t merely gives him
greater praise and force for voting against him.
The chief argument to be advanced against Mr..
Lamar is not to be the of his secessionist
doings There are greater objections in the
history of his life in Washington and in his lack
OF qualifications as a lawyer. Governor Long
said to. light that il seemed to him that Senator
Stewart was only placing himself in such posi-
ton as to strengthen his vote against confrma-
ton Senator Jones, who has been quoted as in
favor of Lamar. is distinctly non committal.

Captain Melville's illness did not last very
long. He was moved to Hills farm on the
third day, and could get up in about fort
| night Soon after that he rcjoined his regi.
ment. l may mention, by the way, that
while he was in bed he got u long letter
from his solicitor stating that some missing
papers had just been found in the lining of a
safe which established his claim to the
property in chancery beyond doubt, and
promising that in two or three months at
the most he would enter into legal pos
session.

hand one evening, beginning by recounting
some of his experiences as a mess caterer
and ending by saying: ~ hope also, my
dear, that you will let the unfortunate acci-
dent which occurred at Christmas be a
warning to you never to allow your maids
to lie awake reading after they have gone

that such a thing was never done at Allings-

The marriage was celebrated in due course
amid general rejoicings Many were the
blessings fervently bestowed on the young

shake on that eventful morning; for his

position had completely won the villagers
