ALExA NDRI
TUESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 90.

SEvENTy.FIvE of the republican members
of the next q. s. House of Representatives
have already expressed themselves as in
favor of the passage of law for putting
State elections in the South under the con.
troll of the federal government-:n other
words of passing law that will make the
republicans, that is the negroes, permanent
IL dominant in the southern States by
means OF republican returning boards the
members of which shsll be appointed for life
by the present republican administration.
The difference between the North and the
South in toe ratio of foreign to native popu-
lstion is so great that the latter has become
almost the peculiar habitat of the pure and
uusculterated native blood. But If re-
publican Congress shall desire to make
the South what Senator Hiscoek. of New
York, says 1t Is, a foreign countrg, there are
MANY people in the South who will not OBJ
iect. One thing is certain, laws or no laws,
and that is that the white men of the South
will never submit to negro domination.

The IDEA that any action will be sustain

exacting contributions for political purposes,
by the party now in power, is preposterous.
It was all we'll enough to enforce the law
when the democrats we're in control, but the
republicans don't do things that way when
they have an object to attain; then the end
iusti6es the means, and scruples are put

NINETY THREE republicans who will be

shipping. Mt one of thcm says ne will To-
yor subsidies to American farming. though
the ratio OF American sailors TO American
farmers is as one to thousand This being,
nominally at least, a fee aud equal coun
try, farmer should certainly receive as
much protection as sailor. Bat, even were
it otherwise, why throw away millions Of
the peoples mone5 IL efforts to attain an
inaccessible object? 1t is impossible to
increase the foreign trade OF this country al
long as the importation of foreign product;
is excluded by the existing tariff. 1t is the
removal of restrictions, not system of sub
sides, that increases trade.

AN INDIAN TERRITORY KILLING.

Murder of Meyer by LuttrelI-Fight at
Dry Devils Greek.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
DEN1soN, March 25.-The killing of Jim
Meyer and the wounding of Jim Christian,
near Woodville, /. T., some months ago by
bud Luttrell, was recorded in THB STATES
MAN. Luttrell made his escape, and it is
supposed he came to Texas. In his flight
he rode away horse belonging to Mr..
Jim Thompson, of Harneyvile, I. T. The
saddle and bride were the property of a
nephew of Mr.. Thompson's, who
was living with him. Nothing
was known of Luttrell's whereabouts
and it was supposed he was
in south Texas. On February 10 two men
supposed to be horse thieves were shot
and killed by posse of officers of Burnet
county. The fight occurred on Dry DEVILS
creek, in Crockett county, and, after the
officers had slain the thieves, an examina
tion of their personal effects developed
the fact that one of the men was one of
the Luttrells. bud has a cousin named
Joe Brown at Bnckner, in Parker
county, Tex. letter was found on the
body addressed to Joe Brown. Another
letter was found 10 the wagon, addressed
to j. p. Thomp son, Preston's Bend, Tex.
The description of the man upon whom
was found the letter tallies exactly with
the description of Luttrell, and it is now
known the man killed was bud LuttreIl.
Further investigation will be made, as it is
probable that the deputies killed man
who is wanted badly in the Territory.
