The Republican pnners are well aware
that while the parly they represent can.
herc and there, beat the Democrats mid
Greenbackers separated, lt ls powerless
tu do PO when tltc*e elements arc united.
Henceforth, it will be the aim ol'one side
to keep thi" division open, and the effort,
tin tho other side, to heal the breach,
Upon the success of ono or the other, the
Presidential election largely depends,
The Democrats aiu kio doubt agreed
thal they have before them a work of
exceeding dillieulty, if the next Presi
dency is to bc won. False hopes and
*hort-sighted leaders hud hilled them
into security. The rude, but we trust
salutary, result? of the past week are he
lore them. Thc St. Louis Jlcpubfican
teaches a solid truth when it Insist-, that
there must be, in future, "thorough unity
of action ; no division of forces ; no rid
ing of local hobbles; no advocating of
both sides of the same question ; no run
ning after false gods. The enemy is
w ide awake and ready to seize and im
prove every advantage Democratic disor
ganization may e'er. Those who think
there will be a Democratic 'walk over' in
1880 aro fools or blind. It promises to
be'the bitterest and most desperate strug
gle iu the annuls of American politics.
The party which bas bud twenty years'
unbroken lease of power will not fall to
pieces and give up the ghost ut thc blow
ing of rams' horns. It will contest every
inch of ground, and die, if die it must,
sword in baud and in thu hist ditch. If
there arc any first-cluss Democratic gen
erals the sooner they come together in a
council of war and decide where and
how thc approaching battle shall be
fought, the better for the party prospects.
We cannot win by 'bull-luck and awk
wardness' the next time."
The Republican leud?is know very
well that the people have not intended
to endorse their ?last or present conduct,
but to put the Democrats on good be
havior. This reaction idiould bear good
iruit with wise men. T .e New York
Journal of Commerce states a fact worth
heeding when it declares that "thc Dem
ocrats may recover more than they have
lost, and go into power with a tri
umphant majority nt the next Presiden
tial election ii" they will manifest more
courage and patriotism and less party
selfishness. The mass of thc people are
-till uneasy nud restless, and oppressed
with grievoU) financial burdens; but
they will not consent that their discon
lent ahull be used for mere party advan
tage, and nothing come of it that prom
?st's lo better their condition."
(Ireat dissatisfaction is expressed in
some quarters nt thc management of the
Democratic National Executive Coin
millee, under the lead of Senator Har
num. It is said that Mr. Barnum is the
wann personal adh?rent of Mr. Tilden,
which has also made him obnoxious to
those Democrats who are hostile lo that
gentleman. It is asserted by those who
assume lo know that Mr. Durnum'*
efforts during the campnign were con
lined almost exclusively to thc election
of members of thc Connecticut Legisla
ture with u view tu his own return as
Senator, and that be showed but little
practical interest in thc election of Dem
ocratic members of Congress anywhere
i lse. A well advised and reliable cor
respondent at thc Federal Capital de
clares that "these matters are freely
talked of in Democratic circles, whether
ha.-ed upon actual facts or not. As
Chairman of thc National Committee,
Mr. barnum bus it in his po' sr to delay
thc next meeting of the committee for
?onie time, and it is possible ibut by the
time thc next meeting does take place
thc dissatisfaction which now exists may
bo appeased. Possible, but not probable,
fur il is almost inevitable that a struggle
between thu Tilden and the auti-Tilden
clements will occur wbcii the committee
docs meet for business, lt has always
been considered, and correctly, that the
locality where the national conventions
are held has much influence ou thc for
tunes of eandidates for the. Presidential
nomination, and this will bo une point
where thc Tilden and the auti-Tilden
suies must, lock horns. The committee
?iii nut have to meet to decide thia for a
very long time yet, but there arc other
matters which will claim its attention in
a 1 vance, and the dissensions and dif
ferences will be likely to lind veut. As
i" ibu intention of Mr. Tilden to have
his name brought before the next Na
tional Democratic Convention it is be
lieved by many that there is not thc
shadow of a doubt."
As Mr. Darnum has not been able to
get the endorsement of his own State, in
spite of all his money anil diplomacy, we
think a BUCCeessnr lo his Presidency of
thc Committee advisable, and that he
should resign, so that a man who can
command more confidence may bc elect
ed, ile, as the friend of Tilden, will
probably prefer to stick, the more so as
New York has become perhaps essential
to Democratic success in 1880. A very
independent observer in the Springfield
Republican demonstrates that practically
.be chance of a Republican President in
1880 depends on that party's carrying
New York. Connecticut, New Jersey,
Ohio anti Oregon will make but 181 Re
publican votes, or 4 short of a majority.
?Villi New York on the Republican side,
either New Jersey alone, or Connecticut
ant] Oregon t-gethc-r, would make just a
majority, wi.iic Ohio would make a Re
publican majority of 27, if all three other
States went Democratic. On the other
mind, the Dem?crata could loso New
\?rk and still elect their President, pro
vided they carried Ohio. New Jamey,
?od either Connecticut or Oregon. Prac
tically therefore tho issue hinges on New
> mk, and while a good many things
.nay happen in two year?, it is certainly
nur to say that to-day the Republicans
*y>rid an even chance of carrying New
Virk and with it the Presidential elec
tion in 1H80.
lt is this necessity of New York's vote
?hut makes Mr. Tilden so important a
factor in any programme for. future ac
ll(,n. If he should make it appvnr that
no man other thar, himself car. carry
new York io.- tho Democratic party, he
will not bc easily got rid of in thc next

WASHINGTON, November 12.
The NatioqtU f?ty}itblii}an? of this city,
will to-morrow publia h Hie following ??
tho views bl* Ute President in regard to
Hie situation in the South. lu answer to
il Question at to whether tho Southern
policy had been discussed in the Cabinet
the President in reported to have said :
"That is a mistake ; thc time for discus
sion !<as passed. It is now too late for
anything but tho most determined and
vigorous action. The determination was
reached several days ago, and the delib
erations of the Cabinet on thia subject
since then have been comparatively brief
and confined mainly tt> the consideration
of thc duty hf the Attorney General in
tho premises." The President has always
thought that his policy would win luck
the South. He was asked bow bc ac
counted for the reRuit in the face of thu
fair promises of the Boutin "The ques
tion," said ho, "leads directly to a dis
cussion of what bas been latterly termed
the Southern policy ol' tho Administra
tion. When that poliey was first inau
gurated it was an earnest desire to con
ciliate the Southern leaders to round off
the sharp angles of sectional difference
and to soften the asperities of political
strife. No olio will deny that the attempt
to enforce this policy was most earnestly
made, nor that it was cat ried out with a
conscientious desire to, accomplish the
result for which it had been inaugurated.
Of thc personal and partisan sacrifices I
made in this effort, and of the cons?quent
iuteiruptioti of certain relations which
had previously existed between myself
and some of my supporters, I have noth
ing to say just now. Hut it appears that
the leaders who made those pledges either
did not exert themselves to keep them or
were unable to do so. In fact I am reluc
tantly forced to admit that the experi
ment was u failure. The first election of
importance had since it was attempted
has proved that fair elections, with free
suffrage for every voter in the South, arc
an impossibility under the existing con
dition of things." "It ia not because the
Republican party appears us the Bufferer
in these results that I complain," con
tinued the President, "it is because free
suffrage und freedom of political rights
have been interfered with that I am
called upon to take cognizance of these
disturbances. If the fact were exactly
reversed, and if tho Republicans had
committed the outrages upon thc Demo
crats, my duty would be the same. It
will not do for me, or for any official be
fore whom these questions may corns, to
treat them otherwise than in a non-parti
san way. The partisan press will natu
rally take a partisan view of the case,
I will be held to account for aiding the
Republicans-the stalwarts. I mean
in flaunting the bloody shirt, as it is
called."
Mr. Hayes said further : "I can't ex
pect to bold the office I do without be
ing kicked and cuffed a little, you know,
but for all that I shall do my duty as the
Chief Magistrate of all the people, Dem
ocrats and Republicans alike, and if, in
thc faithful execution of the laws, justice
shall demand the punishment of this or
that man, whatever his political connec
tions may be I shall not be deterred by
partisan criticism. All that I know is
that great crimes have been committed,
and it is my duty to aid in the punish
ment of the criminals." Tho President
said 'hat "Governor liam pion, for ex
ample, bas tried repeatedly to repress
tlie violence which has characterized tho
campaign in South Carolina, and failed:
Such Republicans as Judge Lee and Mr.
Rainey and ex-Senator Swails, of that
State, have advised me of these fuchs.
They say that Hampton cannot control
thc 'red shirts,' as they call them, and
they have repeatedly informed me of
speeches he has made deprecating vio
lence in the conduct of thc campaign.
And it appears that CJov. Nicholl?, ir?
Louisiana, is earnestly opposed to these
proceedings or the same kind of violence
in ???.-. ?tutu."
The sensation in political circles to
day is tho formal farewell ol' the New
York ?SHH to Mr. Tilden, and its giving
over to destruction thc Democratic party.
Since the day when Gen. Grant refused
to make Charles A. Dana Collector of
the port of New York, that able editor
has devoted all the influence of his jour
nal lo denunciation of the Republican
and advocacy of the Democratic party.
A personal friend and warm admirer of
Mr. Tilden, he lias stood by that gentle
man through thick and thin. Since the
organization of the Electoral Commission
ti]) to the time <..' the publication ol' the
cipher telegrams, he day by day piled
column on column of fierce ami bitter
wrath on the heads of those who deprived
Mr. Tilden of ibu Presidency until even
his incisive logic and brilliant rhetoric
failed to redeem thc subject from utter
weariness. Now Mr. Dana concedes,
what has all along been charged, that to
Mr. Tilden's own timidity and indecision
was duo the loss of bis office, and be tells
him that bo will never again bo thc
Presidential candidate for any party.
As for the Democratic party, as it now
exista, be says "the observer cannot draw
strength for a single patriotic hope."
This article has created a profound sen
sation. Republicans are delighted with
it; Democrats are surprised. It was
shown to the President, and after reading
it bc smiled significantly, but made little
comment. One member of the Cabinet
. .??I he had been expecting something
like this from Mr. Dana, as his paper
had preserved an omnious silence tus to
Mr. Tilden for some weeks.

FACTS ABOUT YELLOW FEVER.
MIGRATIONS OF THE DISEASE.
Yellow fever, Uko the cholera, ia one
of the great migrating diseases. Start -
iug from some point within the tropics, lt
travels steadily onward from point to
point as long us it does nut meet freezing
weather; and it travels northward by
preference-comparatively seldom to the
southward of the z.mo from which it sets
out. Thus Brazil bas nuITcred compara
tively little from its epidemic visitations,
though, as wo shall see, thc disease
planted its germs long ago in Rio de
Janeiro, on the extreme southern limit
of the tropics. But its favorite cutirse li
toward the norlin "Upon our Atlantic
coasts)" says br. J. 0. Nott, a careful
student and observer of its phenomena,
"as on tlie coast of the Mediterranean, it
comes from time to time in one of tbo.se
immense waves that know no bounds and
stop at no impediments. The distance
to which the disc-use cKtclids sectus to
depend much Upoti tho strength of the
wave ; it first strikes the Gulf, and gene
rally goes no farther. Occasionally it
will break over the peninsula of Florida
and reach Savannah and Charleston, lu
1805, after many years of immunity, it
struck Norfolk with full force, and only
a few ripples, as in 18A??, 18.r>G, 1870, have
for half a century reached the Delaware
Uiver and the Bay of New Y'ork." And
the same observer, writing eight years
ago, adds some words which have a grave
significance to-day : "Yellow fever, after
a long absence, never makes its rc-ap
pearance in our Northern cities without
a warning from ibo Oulf of Mexico. It
is seen not only for months, but often for
years, in vigorous action in its native
habitat before it leaps over its accus
tomed bounds; but when once on thc
tramp, it may travel from Buenos Ayres
to Quebec, leaving more graves in its
track than Asiatic cholera. There is
reason to fear that one of these eruptions
is now marshalling ita forces."
Let us glance at the course of one of
these tipical epidemica-at thc one, for
instance, which started as far away as
Kio de Janeiro, twenty-eight years ago,
and travelled in six years all tho way to
New York-a journey ol nearly four
thousand miles-in a great circle. A
great many years before, so many that
the inhabitants of Hio bad lost all re
collection or tradition of the fact, thc
yellow fever bad visited their city ; but
now thc epidemic broke upon them like
lightning from a clear sky. "This out
break," saya Dr. Nott, "commenced in
Rio in January, 1850, and traveled night
and day for six years, making its expi
ring effort in New Y'ork Bay in 185(5. I
bau my eye upon this epidemic from its
commencement, watching its steady
courso and ravages along the Atlantic,
Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico for
several thousand miles. When it struck
New Orlenns [1853] it was clear to my
mind that our own coast was doomed,
and before it reached Mobile I was BO
certain it would come that I moved my
family into the healthy pine bills, seveti
miles from thc town, where thc disease
had never been. But, in Bpi te "f all my
prudence, the dis? is_? not only came to
Mobile, but followed my family out to
Spring Hill, where I lost four of my
children in one week."
DISSEMINATION OF YELLOW FEVER.
How ia the disease disseminated? In
two ways : in a given town or city, by a
Blow and regular progression from house
to house ; between distant places, by fol
lowing the liues of travel and commerce.
It i.-i carried with especial frequency by
sailing ships, and generally makes its
first appearance in a previously healthy
place near tho docks and wharves.
Whether the uart of tho town nearest tho
water happet to bo a clean or a dirty
quarter, a rich or a poor one, makes no
difference. Clean streets do not check
thc disease, nor does foulness favor its
spreading. In 1857 the yellow fever pre
vailed in that part of New Orleans which
was, by official report, "in the best possi
ble sanitary condition," and in no omer,
though the rest of the city was and bad
been for years almost indescribably
filthy. Thc germs of thc disease aro
portable, like bulk in freight, and they
will lake root in any soil. They lurk in
baggagc-cars, in boxes, and in clothing,
in any loose-textured substance that is
closely abut up, as even in cargoes of
sugar. In porous materials like these
fomitcx, as physicians call them-the poi
son will hide and ripen for sOmc two
months' time, and develop ita fullest
strength of infection. A parcel sent
from New Orleans may start an epidemic
of yellow fever in Boston or Quebec.
Thc disease is one of hot climates, and
of low alluvial ground by preference,
though any kind of soil will do for it,
and any elevation above sen-level that is
not loo great for the degree of heat re
quired. That degree is a dnily average,
continued for BOiiiO weeks together, of
from 77? to 80? F.-a temperature which
ia roached for a month or more together,
and exceeded, during our moro than tor
rid summers, in almost any of our towns
and cities from Florida to Maine. Yel
low fever haa prevailed aa far north even
as Quebec, auil may extend as far again
in thc future.
Of the mysterious way in which the
disease travels from house to house, a
living messenger of death, wo know lit
tle. Science bas not yet been able to
seize upon tho secret of its cause, which
in all cases is probably the same, though
some observera think that there arc two
distinct forma of the disease. Ia it in a
microscopic plant or insect, too .-mal!,
?i""o>cr, for detection by tho highest
magnifying power yet at our command,
that its exciting cause consists ? That is
probable. It ia supposed that these
germs cuter the blood and destroy it by a
process comparable to that which ia set
up in yeast by fermentation. It has been
suggested, very plausibly, that thia living
germ can enter thc human body only at
a particular stage of its own growth, and
that when it baa completed its career by
multiplying Ibero, it bas no power to
leave that body and invade thc sanctuary
of another isle. This theory would ac
count for the non-contagiousness of the
disease.-DR. T. M. COAN, in flarpcr'e
Magazine for December.

A Story of Ilia YlcUalmrji CaMn|Mtgn.
lt appears tliut after Vicksburg lind
been invested and tim Coutil threatened
at other points, Governor Allen, of
Louisiana, conceived tbe desperate idea
of capturing ?be person of tirant. He
believed that Graut was the evil genius
of the Confederacy, and that if bc could
bc killed or taken prisoner tho siege of
Vicksburg could be raised and the Fed
eral anny driven back. He sent for Joe
Lee and i ni pa rt ed to him his thoughts,
and asked him if bc could devin? n pliiti.
It Was readily taken to by Lee, who im
mediately proposed to execute the daring
enterprise. At that lime-that is in the
spring of 1801-Grant and his army were
encamped ut Milligan's Mend, near
Young's Point) Oil the Mississippi, some
eighteen miles above Vicksburg. Gen
eral ('rant's headquarters were in the
dwelling hoUso that belonged to a mag
nificent plantation, much of which can
be seen from the deck cf a pnssing steam
er. Joe Lee proposed togo to that house
and bring away the body bf
i.KNKKAI. (?KANT, DEAD OK ALIVE.
He chose live out of his most trusty
men. They were thc two James broth
ers, two of the Younger brothers and
John Jarrett. These with himself made
six. There never were six better men
for euch an expedition. They were
young, strong und as brave as the brav
est. They had already seen all there is
in war. They bad been tried in the most
trying places; bud sufi'eied nil manner
of hardships) did not care much, wheth
er they lived or (lied ? were the quick
est and best shots in thc world, and rode
the fleetcnt horses in the land. It was
just before the Federal anny sent out on
that surprising march down the west
side of thc river. Thc country waa all
full of marshes, bayous and morasses, so
that thc natural advantages for thc exe
cution of the plot were good. Thc plan
was for Joe Lee und his five trusty fol
lowers to dress Up lu full federal uni
form, ride on horseback to Milligan's
Bend, go direct to the house where Grant
was stopping, rush in and secure his
person, put him on a spine horse and
then escape to thc swamps which were
nearby. On one Saturday evening late
lite party sci out from Dickson's house
near Delhi end rode towards the Missis
sippi. There was not a soul on earth be
sides themselves and Governor Allen
that knew of their desperate mission. It
was something over twenty-five miles
they bad to go, and tho night was a dark
one, but long before day they were
AT THC KIHI IC OF THE WOODS
that bordered on thc plnntiV.ion on which
Grant was quartered. There was no en
emy to attack from thc west side, and
there was no particular precaution about
guards. The pickets were passed before
sun up, and, while tho General was yet
asleep, thc guerillas rode boldly up
through the open field towards the house.
There they were-six men-seven horses.
The empty saddle for thc commander of
the hundred thousand men who were
camped about in every direction. They
approached in almost a stone's throw of
the house, when they met a negro. They
were discovered, lt was ntl old man
whom these very men bad run away from
Delhi not ten days before. He knew
them all and immediately gave the alarm.
In a moment there was a great tumult,
and thc six guerrillas bud nothing to do
but save their lives. They broke
through the field ?nd in tho twinkling o?
an eye were back in the woods, but not
until a hundred shots had been fired
after them. Before the sun went down
they were safe at their favo, ?j rendez
vous. Thus was frustrated one of the
most daring plots of the war. It is not
probable that Gen. Grant took any par
ticular notice of the adair, and it is not
at all probable that he has ever realize J
the valuable services of the old colored
man. What interpretation the officers of
the anny put upon the presence of the
strange and hostile men at such a time
and place, is not known, but if there
were uny doubts as to their mission, this
bit of history may serve to remove them.
A. T. STEWART'S BODY.
How the J'urlng ltol>ber>- waa KITectoti.
Early on tho morning of October 7tb,
just a month ago, thc assistant sexton of
St. Mark's Church discovered that the
Stewart lamil; vault had been tampered
with. The stone's slab had been re
moved from its position and the enrth
disturbed several feet. As the slab v its
not over thc opening of the vault tuc
thieves did not get at tho body. The
sexton reported the matter to Judge Hil
ton, who ordered the seal to be placed a
few feet from its true position in order
to deceive any one attempting to steal
the body. A watchman was also en
gaged, and ho patroled thc graveyard
every night until very recently. The
discovery of the outrnge was made at 8
o'clock Wednesday morning. Tho rob
bt 1? bad removed ono stone from the
opening to thc vault, broken open three
collins in which the body was enclosed
and curried away the contents, it is sup
posed, in a sack. The robbery has
caused great excitement in the neighbor
hood of thc graveyard.
Thc robbers, who wero probably five
or six in number, having entered the
church-yard, proceeded to remove the
eariii from thc opening to the vault.
This was soon R??omp!libed by thc r.id
of a shovel, which, with a dark lantern,
th y left behind them. They then pried
up one of the stones, thus making au
opening large enough to permit the en
trance of two men simultaneously. There
were several coffins in the vault, but the
robbers do not appear to have hesitated
in choosing the right one. The outer
casing of thc cedar was easily broken
open, and thc second or leaden collin, was
rippon open, apparently wah n large
knife. There then remained the oaken
coffin, which was also broken open. The
body was then taken out r id placed in
sumo sort of a sack, lifted toward the
opening, where there were probably
other bands to receive it, and carried to
tho iron railing around the Church.
The weight of ibo body was not very
great, but it is still a question how it was
passed over tho railing, as all thc gates
were lock.??. The body was then proba
bly pr. into a wagon and drivon quietly
away.
The o'mi says that among all thc theo
ries relative to the crime, none is more
curious than that which attributes -t to
the agency of certain disappointed heirs
or so-called heirs of Mr. Stewart. Those
who hold to this theory believe that thc
body was removed in order that a chemi
cal analysis might bo mado to detect
traces of poisoning. The news of the
desecration of Mr. Stewart's grave was
not conveyed to Mrs. Stewart until last

WASHINGTON, November 10.
The defeat of Mr. Yate? in tho First
North Carolin? District and the election
of his Republican competitor does not
look like there was any intimidation
practiced in North C oolina. It is very
likely that the Republicans would have
been"more pucccssl'ul in the South if they
had made the leapt cuort to have it so.
Hut from the very first the Republican
Campaign Conni.ittee hero confined its
work to the theatre of thc Northern and
Western States. The amount of money
that it sent into the Congressional Dis
tricts of the South was so insignificant
as not lo merit notice, and it is bel io vet!
that during the whole campaign not one
campaign speaker from the North up
iienred on the stump iii any part of thc
louth; except in Petersburg, Va., where
tho Republican candidate was elected.
A month ago the Chairman of the Re
publican Committee of North Carolina
carne here, went to tho rooms of the Re
publican Congressional Campaign Com
mittee, and besought the managers te
send some good speakers to North Car
olina, mentioning especially Mr. Blaine.
All he could get was a promise that per
haps Mr. Btovkett Matthews, of Mary
land, would come. Il Mr. Matthe Wt
went tho knowledge of the fact bas not
yet penetrated to this locality.
\\ hile tlie Republican Campaign Com
mittec thus deliberately abandoned tin
South to its opponents, the contest all
over the North was waged with an carn
eslncss and vigor not oflon surpassed ii
Presidential elections. Senator Cork
ling did what be did not even do in itu
President'al contest-went ont of lt ii
own State to make campaign speedie
for his pa?"ty. Mr. Hlaiue spoke all ove
the West and at various points in tin
East. The most gifted orators of tin
Republican party traversed State afte
State, speaking from tho stump daily
No one will say that there bas ever beul
a more animated ora more intensely bit
ter campaign in Massachusetts than tb
one which bas just cloted. Cen. Butte
fought his own campaign almost single
banded, While ngltihflt him Wits arraye
all the power of the Republican spcakci
of the Slaie and all the social inflt
ence, which isas potent a factor in Mas
sachusetts as it is in South Carolina <
Louisiana. Yet if it had not been for tl
direct aid of Democratic votes Cenen
Buller would to-day be thc Governo
elect of Massachusetts.
If thc Repu bl ;cans had made no coi
test in Massachusetts as they made not
in South Carolina or Mississippi, wi
can deny that Butler would not ha'
been elected Governor? Ami in th
event there would have been just
much logic in ascribing bis success
Democratic intimidation as there is
charging the result in South Candi
and Louisiana -o intimidation, Wh
necessity for intimidai ion when yo
enemy surrenders without a contes
"Hard money" and plenty ?if it b
also much to do with the Republic
success in several States of tho Nor'
It was literally poured out like water
Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York a
Illinois, not to speak of Mas"acbusel
But if the Republican tac'ics in tin
S'aies bad been as they were in I
South, they would to-day be ranged
?he Democratic instead of on the Repi
li can side.
It ia alleged that Republican meet ii
were broken up i'i South Carolina n
elsewhere dining tlie campaign j
closed. But who was there to aildr
Republican meetings? Outside of i
Federal olL'ceholders the white Reptil
cans in South Carolina can almost
counted on your len fingers. Why <
not Mr. Blaine, or Colonel Ingersoll,
hundreds of other Republican speak
who can be mentioned, go to South C
olino and take part in the campaig
They have as much right to speak
Suuth Carolina aa in Massachusetts, a
they and their friends know very tv
that no Republican meei?ig at whi
they were lo appear would be broken
and no division of lime demanded. 'I
Bl or ?CS of intimidation, of breaking
of Republican meetings, &., come fri
persons of r.o responsibility, but they i
inado usc of all the same.
Under thc circumstances the bimi
which ia now going up from thc Radii
papers over tho North of the Republic
Congressmen who ought to have bc
elected from the South is the sublim
of coolness. It ia wonderful that tin
are any Republican Congressmen fn
the South at all. The Republicans
uot elect Congressmen in the No
without fighting for them, and desp
alely at that, yet they expect to hi
twent-five or thirty given 'hem in I
South without so much ns l.Aiug a tm
for them. An nmusing instance of
miranee of thc facts which exist even
so central a State as Maryland is c
deuced by thc manner in which a proi
neut jo.mial of another State beaded
the morning after the election the i
nouncement of thc election of .Mr. Uri
It was as follows: "The negroes of
Sixth D'strict of Marydand succeeded
electing a repr?sent?t i ve." This was
doubt considered a great feat and a
table example where the colored peo
bad managed to get to the polls aes|
thc intimidation. Of course this m
bring a smi'e to the lips of every citi
of Maryland knowing thc very la
body of intelligent and influential wi
Republicans who ?ive in thc Sixth 1
Ir.ct and tho numerically insignific
proportion of colored voters.
It is asserted by prominent Repu
cans that in thc next campaign thi
will be managed very differently.;
they intend to send their best Biieal
to tho South, and manage their c
paigns 'here just as they do in the No
'Pliis will be the proper thing to do,
if they can convince the colored pei
of the South that it is for their inte
to net with the Republican party
Democrats must ncquiesce.-Battit,

DEATH OX THE KAIL.
Tragic Kmllng of a Munlvrcr'a Lifo.
A terrible accident ?nd rt horrible irng
edy occurred last Saturday night nt tiiC
dopol in Augusta, being the killing of
Beter Frohuiaii, who was crushed by be
ing run over by tho outgoing train on
tlie Tori Royal Railroad. Kroman was
known us a desperate character, and the
history of his crime ami continued pur
suit are both interesting. On Saturday
night lu> was CM mute for Beaufort, where
ho was to be tried for one of bis offense*,
and was brought from Rnglnnd by Sheriff
Wilson, nf South Carolina, under thc
extradition treaty, on thc charge of mur
der.
The crime for which froh man Wits ex
tradited was thc murder in June Inst, itt
Beaufort, S. C., of P. W. Donkan, who I
was his partner in a Hat boat. A few
days before tho murder, Prob mau and j
Dunkau quarreled over a roulette table
on the boat, and Krohinan beat Duukan j
severely. Duukitii badu warrant issued
against Frohnloh, aiid accompanied the
officer, who, on tho 20th of June, trent
to execute it. When the ofllccr attempt
ed to serve the process Froh mau attack
ed bim with n belaying pin and knocked
him down and beat bim. Duuknn Foisted
Krohmun, and they struggled sonic lime,
but Krohinan, after beating Donkan un
til he was insensible, threw bim over
board. Dunknu's body was not recovered
for some time. Prohninn lied to New
Orleans and shipped on tho Bailing ve.^
sel Croimlunkiu, bound for London, lang
land. Sherill' Wilson arrived at New
Orleans just after tho vessel cleared ?md
took the next steamer for Hu rope. When
the Cronidunkin dropped anchor in thc
Thames nt Gravesend, Wilson boarded
her. Almost thc first person be saw was
Krohinan, who, suspecting thc Sheriff's
errand, jumped hilo the river, but was
caught by some boatmen und was taken
to the Bow street station and held under
the extradition treaty.
While in prison awaiting the com ldc?
lion of the proceedings ho succeeded in j
getting out of his cell, and Was found on
the roof ol' the prison preparing to lower I
himself into thc street. When the case
was complete Thoriithwnitc, of Scotland ?
Yard, took Krohinan to Liverpool nnd
delivered him to Sherill' Wilson on the
deck of the Nevada. In view of Kroll
man's desperate character he was double
ironed and confined in a cabin during
the trip.
The Sheriir reached Augusta Saturday
night at M5 o'clock willi bia prisoner,
on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad, und boarded the Kort Boyal
train, which leaves nt 10 o'clock. Col.
Owens informs us thal the truin hud just
passed out thc depot when, it stopping,
lie inquired thc cause, and the conductor
replied that a man had been killed, nnd,
on examining, Froh man waa found be
tween the driving wheels of the engine
cut in two nt tlie waist and horribly
crushed, and life, extinct, lie bad been
run over by the baggage car nnd tender,
?ind was found between the engine wheels,
the train having backed oui the depot.
It seems thal the poisoner had made an
other desperate, and not only hopeless,
but fatal attempt to ?scape again that
law which hud followed him so closely
and long.
Kiding in the smoking cur, the Sherill
was standing up putting on bis overcoat,
when the prisoner rushed for the door.
He was followed so closely thnt, reach
ing tho platform and endeavoring to
escape tiie grasp of the olliccr, ho fell
between the cms, and, rendered more
helpless by the manacles on in's arms,
was crushed to death. The sl?ht was
sickening and the manlier of his death
horrible, und in the clenr moonlight,
though accidentally killed, his mangled
remains were nu evidence that retribu
tion in one way or other visits all offend
ers against the law. All inquest was held
over his body nod bis remains properly
interred, nnd Buch is the ending of a ca
reer in crime and its varied incidents.

JLttko City.
8A1.T LAKE CITY, UTAH, Oct. 29.
Thc all-absorbing excitement is the
1 trial of John Horne Miles for bigamy,
noted in my correspondence of yesterday.
' and still being prosecuted before United
? ?tates Commissioner Sprugue.
} Thinking the many readers of the
. Inter-Ocean might desire u truthful and
full account of the case. I called upon
I .Miss Owens at tho residence of U. 6.
. Marshal Shnughnessey, In company with
; District Attorney Van 7A\c, and was
very courteously received.
I was particular to write down all that
was said, with Miss Owens' permission,
! which was very modestly told, an?! it is
briefly as follows : Her full namo is
Caroline Teresa Horne Mailo Owens.
lier father's name was Mailo, her moth
er'* name was Horne, and Owens was
the namo of an uncle who adopted her
on the death of ber father and mother,
who died when she wns almost an infant.
Miss Owens was born in the city of
London, June A, 1855, and is, therefore,
twenty-three years of age. She is very
prepossessing in appearance; has large
i dark eyes, dark bair, a lino figure, atid
uses good English. She waa neatly and
stylishly dressed ; was at school several
years in Holland, and, on tho death of
"ber uncle who adopted ber, abc becamo
a governess where she had been a pupil.
Miles is thirteen months ber senior.
They were children together, nnd lovera
front their earliest years. In 1870 Miles
I entered tho merchants' marine Rcrvice
i fur three years, and went to sea in the
ship England. They were engaged, and
corresponded regularly till 1873, when
the ship was reported lost in Torres
.Straits with every soul on board. Sbo
went lo Lloyds and found tho reporta
were true, and she, of course, gave him up
as dead. Thc truth, however, waa that
be left thc abip a month or so before, in
Australia, and was then converted and
made a Mormon, and soon after caine to
Utah. In 187(3, to ber nurprise, bo ap
peared to ber one day at a f riend's house
where she was visiting, like one risen
from thc dead.
He waa seedy and dirty, and had every
appearance of a disreputable tramp. F -
announced himself ns a Mormon Elder.
During all thia timo she supposed bim
d?*ad, she bad several good chances of
marriage, but abo felt abc could never
love any other man us she bad loved him,
and declined them all. He commenced
immediately to preach M. rmonism, and
at last converted ber, at tho expense of
sacrificing relatives and friends.
Thc first eighteen months of his mis
sion in England he saw little cf her, but
the last six months hu waa with ber al
most all thc time.
Her aunt and she insisted upon their
being married in England before leaving,
but lie said bu was under a solemn vow
not to marry while on bis mission, but
would do so immediately oil arriving in
Ulah.
Her aunt resisted this, and Miss Owens
yielded and went with bim, with almost
curses, from her only near relative.
They started from London with the
Mormon emigration, September 14 Inst,
and sailed on the steamer Wyoming for
New York. Tho Captain, two Miases I
Williams, daughters of thc owner, and a j
young Mr. Onion were very kind to her,
and did all they could to prevent her
coming to Utah with bun. He was
madly jealous of these attentions, and
one time tbicatened to throw her over
board, and to jump over himself.
Before leaving New Y'ork he told her
there were two girls in St. Ocorgo named
Emily and J' lia Spencer sisters. Tho
elder, Emily, hud got her . Uber to pro
pose ber to bim, and when he went to
ask ber to be bia wife she told him her
sister Julia loved bim too. Ho then
asked them both and they accepted, but,
said he, I have loved you BO long and so
much that I would give up fi fly "of them
for you. You are moro to mn than any
woman ni ?MC >vur!?.
They nrrived here October 4, and ?ho
went to Angus Cannon'a bouse, and im
mediately thereafter bo becamo inde
pendent, and treated ber with indiffer
ence, and on thc next day informed her
be was going to marry these two Spen
cer girls also, nod that bc was going to
bring them up and int i ndure them to bor.
She told him she would not submit to it ;
that she would go to John Taylor; that
bo was a just and good man, and that he
would not permit il, and t' at she would
havo it settled. They finally all four
went to President Taylor's office, and she
pleaded with Taylor long and earnestly;
told bim of their having loved each oth
er uo long, their long engagement, tho
wrong be bad done, tho sacrifices BIIO
bad made for bim of relative.- and friends,
but bc ooolly told ber it was ibe order in
those tbinga that tho oldest must be first,
and that Emily must bj first, abe second,
and Julia third. Then she pleaded with
Miles, but be told ber while be loved her
and did not love tho others, that he could
not disobey counsel or change the regular
order ol things, but thai in reality she
would bc bis first wife, and so thia poor,
friendless girl, loving, trusting, and de
ceived, faraway from friends and among
strangers, yielded, nnd was married ac
cording to tho r'ttw. of tho Mormon
Church, October 24. She aaid abo re
membered tho oaths that she took in
thc consummation of this ordinanco, but
she could never reveal them. She was
afraid find would pCQ?sh her if .he did,
after having taken them, but fdio said tho
last oath Bbc took, through the veil, waa
perfectly awful. Sbo went into the En
dowment House at 9o'clock in the morn
ing, nnd did not get through till 3.30 in
the afternoon. That evening Mr. Can
non gave ber a wedding reception.
She had warned Miles not to bring
Emily Spencer there, at it was her re
ception, and she told bim if be did there
would bo trouble.
The company, comprising about
twenty, had arrived, ar.d ?be carno down
.'rom ber room upstairs, and entered tho
parlor to find Emily Spencer Boated on
tho music Btool in. tho center of the
room. She went up to her and said :
"Won't you please get off that stool ? I
want to ?day." Emily simply squinted
at her, and said nothing; bul Miles carno
across tho room, and said : "Emily
I don't you move; you aro ruy wife; don't
you mind that woman." Miss Owona
j thou alapped ber face, and tho row com
menced. M.lea got between thora, and
Cannon got behind Misa Oweus and held
ber banda, nnd told her to leave his
houBo. Sho ran into tho street, whore
sbo met Bomo apostles, who wore going
to take her homo, when Miles and Can
non carno, and dragged her into tho
house. They then tried to calm her, and
finally got her to consent io play sort*
quadrilles. Aa sho sat nt tho piano
waiting for them to form er?r ?i?.
floor, she heard Miles ask Emily todanco
with him. Sho Raid she would :M?t play
for that woman lo dance, and so left tho
piano and ran up Hi her room. This
was about 10 o'clock. The next dav ti
writ of habeas corpus wan issued, and
she was brought before Judge Schaeffer,
and proceedings commenced for commit

SITTING BULL SPEAKS.
Tho Itcd-IfanoVrt Warrior Doesn't I.Ike
the Attraction or Canada.
Po PI, AI HIVER, M. T., Oct. 2G.
Having just returned from n vist to
Wood Mouutnina, Northwest Province, u
post of the Canadian mounted police,
where I saw and conversed at length with
Sitting Pull, Spotted Eagle, Black Bult,
White Guts, W hite Eagle, The Gaul and
several others of tho leading spirits of the
Tcton camp, which ia at present on
Frenchmen's Creek, a tributary of Milk
River, the Indian name of which ?3 We
Saw-Wackepold, or Whito Uiver, so
called from the white (or ripe) clay
which is found on its bauka, I send you
the result.
Sitting Bull I found at first quito reti
cent; but under tlu> influence of a cup
of codec with sugar cd libitum and the
soothing influence of a smoke, ho at last
opened out. Ho said that the White
Mother was good, and that tho Long
Lance (Major Walsh) was a good man,
and that tho half breeds wero good, but
tbnt this was not such a good country as
the Yc'lowatone and Black Hills, and
that often be thought of old time.-.
What lie wanted was for all tho soldiers
and agents to go away, and ho would go
back to his old home. All he wanted
waa traders. They were good ; agents
and soldiers were "wacktiBbncy"-a word
hard to translate, bul which means par
ticularly bad in a general sense.
Black Bull spoke to me privately, and
told me be did not like to stay in Canada,
and would come back to tho agencies at
tho ural chance, but that tho rest pre
vented him. I found thia to bc thc- sen
timent of a great many, but that the In
dian soldiers would not allow them to
como back.
It looks as if thc Indiana would bavo a
hard timo thia.winter. Thc b?llalo aro
all traveling south of thc Missouri, and
without buffalo starvation must ensue.
Very erroneous ideas aa to tho traffic
of ammunition (fixed) aeem to prevail
generally among whiles ot? this side of
thc line. The sale ia by no means indis
criminate; no ammunition ia sold with
out a permit from the commanding officer
of the Mounted Police. Of course he is
best ublo to decido the requirements of
the Indians, and of course without am
munition they cannot kill buffalo, and
while there I saw several agency Indians
refused the permit to trade." Major
Walsh refusing them on the around ?hat
they were not residents.
I often see reports of the liability of
Sitting Bull to menace tho whites on this
aide of the line. Such is not the cr.se,
and the scaro that periodically comes in
the neighborhood of Benton arises from
thc fertile imagination of some would-be
hero. Sitting Bull and all tho chiefs that
I talked with (and this is tho opinion of
thc police.who have daily intercourse
.vith them) said that thc idea of war with
the United States ia not at all thought nf
by the Indiana, who are smart enough to
realize that they would lose the present
position With ti:r. L-aSfiuiaS ?Ov- TV:::U:;1.
anu couiu gain nothing from the United
States.
While at the "Wood Mountain a young
buck came up from a camp of runaways
from thc Spotted Tail Agency, who had
crossed thc Missouri just at tho mouth of
Milk Uiver. Ho said that his camp con
sisted of thirteen lodges, and that a great
many would attempt to get north this
winter. H? said that tho Citoyennes
would break out in a short time. Tho
Cheyennes he referred to were those who
surrendered to General Miles last year,
