Tue story of the crimes cf t!-.o Bonder family ia upon everybody'/- lipo. The f;rcate%t crime of the century ia likely, n a small measure at least, to be atoned for. But the most horrible death tbat old Jobu Bender could bo put to would but in a slight degree avenge the suffer ings of his many victims, lu the jail at Fremont,, in Dodge Con..ty, a man is locked up who is supposed to bo tho fiend thnt the authorities of Kansas have been looking for for seven years. There hard ly seems a doubt of his identity. With bim ?. '" woman-repulsive, hard-hVed and old. Sbe mny bo tho original .Mrs. Bender or she may bo bis mistress. Opinions differ on this point. Whrn they rer.eh Kansas the authorities will have bard work to guard tho couple from tho attacks of tho populace, who are thirsting for their blood. In 1878, old Bender and bin wifo and their'son John and his wifo lived -near Cherryvale, Lnbetto County, Kansas. Their house was about two miles ont-of town. It was a rude framo structure, standing in a lot of two acres. The old woman called herself a medium. She had a way o! boiling berhs and roots.that were sup posed to b"..rc charms and spells aboul thom, and tho dealt in incantations. She was repulsive in aspect-tall, nngulai and scrawny, with hard, steel-gray eves, and lh\pi ragged gray hair struggling over her-tempies. Tho family'seem tx havo been totally under the influence o: this ungainly creature. Her word witt thom was law. Tho Benders ostensibly kept a grocery. A sign was displayed lr front ot their rude dwelling to attrnc I visit?n, but tho s tock in trade - cousiatet principally of a Eort of cheap wine Th'tre wero only two rooms in the bouso Ono was a dining room and kitcho* combined. In the other tho four Ben dcrs slept. MANY BODDEN DISAPPEARANCES. In 1873 n number of persons traveUinj in ibu uireciiuu of Cucrryvuiu mysie riou8ly d?sappoared. No traces of theo could be found. The first disappearance that attracted public attention was tba of an old man and bis granddaughtei who left Cherryvale in February, 187S in a two-horse wagon, to go to Fort Scotl but wh? never reached that place. Al inquiries failed to elicit a clue to thci disappearance until, about the beginning of March, Dr. William II. York recog ni zed the wagon and team at Fort Scot! He ascertained that tho wagon bad bee: purchased at the fort from some pcreo: who had come from Cherryvale, and h determined to ferret out the myster* He left Fort Scott on March 9, and hi too, disappeared. Dr. York wns wei known, and tho greatest efforts wer made IO discover traeos of him. A larg reward was offered, rivers were draggee spots fit for ambush wore probed foot b foot, lonesome places were quested as keen bound scents a trail tbat is colt and still no traces of the lost mah wet discovered, . Not a shadow af eridenc rested anywhere to say that Dr. Yor had been murdered--notasignanywhei told how bo carno to bis death, if, indeei death-had overtaken him unawares. B was traced to- Cherryvale, in Labetl Couuty, but no further. There all trac and trace of him ceased. The excib ment was at a high pitch. One day a .jxploring party stopped at tho houso < tho Bcuucrd. Had they seen nnythir of Dr. York? No, the answer cam . they had not. They knew nothing wha ever concerning him. But this visit hi a strango effect. The next day the Bei der family disappeared, and almost ; mysteriously as bad Dr. York. Th suspicious circumstance aroused curie ity. A man riding into Cherryvale frc tho country ono day was Impressed 1 tho deserted appearance of tho Bend place. - Ho entered the ynrd. In tl stable ho found a dead calf. There w every indication from tho appearcace tho miserable creature that it had starvi to death; Tho man walked up to t! bouse, opened tho door and looked i Not an article of household furnltu had boen removed, but tho dust 1 heavy pn everything. Tho man went Cherryvale and 'told, his story. Sonni A.>Mi York, the; brother of tho miss! man, was there. To his suspicious mi tho sudden and strange flight of t Bender family was n-revolution. Ho h found tho'first cluo to bis lost broth He divulged<his suspicions, and a ba of men accompanied bim to tho Bent farm.

A few days ago a man was seen at Richland travelling eastward with a woman. They stopped at a house, and soon after their arrivals made inquiries as to whether any thing'bad,yet been discovered of the Bender family,'who formerly lived in Kansas. Their talk and actions excited suspicion, which was further strength ened by their unawers to questions, asked thom. They appeared excited, and told conflicting ?tori? ab to who they were and where' they came from ; ?Aid they had lived five or six yearo muong tho In dians; Hint they tad been up in the Niobrnra country, aud that thoy wero not tho Deuders. Sheriff Gregg was called. He started on their track. At Schuyler he. caught up with them. He passed them two or three times, aud finally turned around and met them with a drawn revolver. Ho said to the wo man. "Hello, Kate," and she was consid erably stabled, and replied "I am not Kate Bender."- Tho old man didn't offer any resistance, and tho officer had no dif ficulty in landing him and his wifo in the Fremont Jail. lu jail tho couple had a conversation, which wau overheard. Tb n old man, who is apparently over 60 years of ego, Baid to her : "I knew if we came to Kansas that they would bang us before we would be there two hours. Wa would not stand a ghost of a show. If I have to die, I want to die with you and bo buried with you. I am going crazy. I know I have to die. -I want that ra cor in here before I start for Kausas." "They would not let ypu havd ii. ! They aro afraid'of losing their reward," she rai J. He continued : "I know you'll givo mo away, but you cannot save your self. Ohl my first wifo., | She waa ? good womat). You don't caro for wc, You inusn't think you can escape by giv ing mo away. Don't you cry." Thc couple were finally separated and charged with being tho original Benders They denied it. The old man said his name was McGregor ; that he was taker sick and stopped at the house of tlx Benders for seven weeks, and that hit wife was with him. Ho said he knew ol various murders being committed, nnc that he did not dare to say anything foi fear of his life. Tho old woman told t terrible story. She said the money o thc persons murdered was always d i vida among tho Benders. "I think my hus band never got any of it. The garder waa full of gravea and the cellar full o dead bodies. , Dr; York's brother wai murdered while I was thero. Ho was i singlo man, I think about 35 years old Tho dining room of-the house was thi room which the sliding trap was under A person would sit down nt tho table ti eat, and the slides wero moved and tb person would fall into a deep collar, don't know bow deep tho collar wae They would kill anybody then who wouh come to tho houso, rich or poor, for fen they might inform on them. The; killed some persons that had no moire; at all." NO DOUBT OF THE PRISONERS' IDEN TITY. For a day or two it was doubt fu whether tho man was really old Bondel Thero does not seem to be any doubt c it now. ? man who lived near him a Cherry volo called at tho jail. His nam is Hooilan, and ho identified thu prisone as old John Bender. "Did you ever eee thia face before ? Hooflan asked. "Yes," replied the ol man, "I know you. .but I can't pine you." "Don't you know the man wh used to herd near your placo in Kansas? Mr. Hooflan inquired. The old man bi came excited. "My God, yes," he at swered; "how did you como here? And so the old man was led on. to te of the crimes which had been committet On being told that he would have to g to Kansas, ho swore that be would nc go. He ?aid that he would not go an] where elso, and would kill himself berni ho' would go there. Hooflan showed hil a pian ol' tho houso and surrounding which bc acknowledged was corree Hooflan theu went and oaw the womal She began laughing when sbo saw hie When :uked if sbo knew him ehe ai swered, "Yes, I do know him: How t you dc?, Hr.

Wo "Were going back Ea Wo bad a hard time among tho Indian very Seldom uaw a whitopereon." Sher Gregg says that the true Bender, is, custody. As to thu woman he is.doul ful. Ile thinks she ie not tho origin Mrs. Bender, but that Mrs* Bender w killed, and that this woman is -Bende mistress. Sheriff Gregg is now ?ngag itt hunting up yoiiug Bender' and 1 wife. Thoy hayo been seen recently, a officers are on their track, The exci ment is in tem J. Hrs. Bender Coufcsses.

Tho Murderers Taken fo Kansas, OMAHA, NED., Aug. 7, 1880. Tho Times' correspondent met tho Eas bound Union Pacific train nt Valley thi afternoon, and rodo into Omaha with ob Header and his wife, who were in charg of Sheriff Bender, (ho is not a relativ of tho prisoners,) of Oswego, Labett County, Kansas, r.nd Dan Condon, o Schuyler County, Nebraska, who was th man who gavo tba information lead in to their arrest. Condon sat besido ol Bender, who was handcuffed, and tb I Sheriff nat besido the old woman, jui behind ber husband. Tho prisonei were the observed of all observers, an at every station' they were stared nt b large crowds. They were coutinu?ll i being quizzed by passengers. Tho ol mau was rather cross nnd not in a ver talkative mood. Up to this morning :h bad no idea that his wifo was still in jai as bo had been lcd. to believe she ha escapad. About 10 c'clock, when- b learned she waa still lhere, he raved an swore and became frantic with rage. 1 pacify him, the old woman was broogl into bis presence, and this cooled ii tamper somewhat. She told bim th: she,had confessed everything, and 1 then became more frantic than befor aud Sheriff Gregg bad to take her awe She wanted to go into her husband's eel but ber request was refused. Tim mon ing she reiterated ber confessions.. WI? leaving Fremont the prisoners were gi vi to understand that they were being taki to Jacksonville, III., aa the old man b comes very much excited when Kans is mentioned. The Times* correspondent took a EC beside him on the train, and - Bondi while denying to-day thfft hs is Bondi again admitted that bo was sick 1 chance.at Bender's for five or six wed during which time several murders we committed. He talked quite freely abo the bad Benders, their misdeeds and th: 5remises. He admitted the murder acksonville, and said ho killed adrun en man in self-defense. He thinks will get ob* free. Although cont rudie ti himself several times, bc virtually a roborated the confession of last evenir which was published to-day.

Some time in 1878 &n old .mao war rested in Salt Lako on suspicion of b Bender. Tho suspicions were strong against bim, and he was take Kansas, and wa? there discharged, a could not be identified.

A Valley Once Trod by Cortex and fita STol lowers-Tiie Skeleton Inhabitants. "That," ?aid a well-known -Leadville assayer, iudicaliug apiece of odd-looking oro which he held tn his hand, "that pleca comes from & mine .with a history .per haps as singular as unythinsc you ever heard." lie then related a story in substance ne follows. Tho mino from which the oro was de rived is situated somewhere on the line of Southern Colorado and Mexico. Yasl mountain ranges enclose it on all sides like colossal barriers erected by nature to guard it from the intrusion of mankind and nc beaten path apparently leads thither bj which any one could penetrate to the ?not except the most daring mountaineei that ever scaled the mountain h ol gb ts 01 with pick and shovel delved into the fila ty bowels of tbe rugged Colorado elopes after the precious metal. Tho spot ic wbicb tho mint is located itt a beautiful green valley, iu wbich Summer eternal!) preval?a, with only one outlet, through t dark cleft in tho towering rocks, wittel from tho outside would never bo discos ered except by chance. About the year 1524, when tho Span lards under Cortes penetrated Moxie? and overflowed the country surrounding a numbor of tho lawlers Andalusians camp followers, or whatever tho occupa lion of those who drifted into thc beaut i ful country along with tho large hosts o soldiers detected soma of tho conrjuerct Indians wearing ornements of massiv* gold upon their persons so directly differ ent from any of thc precious metal tb secret of whoso deposit thoy had long bo fore wrested from the simple natives thu they nt once concluded it must bc dori vet from a mine whoso whereabouts was yo a mystery to them. Avaricious nm cruel, as Bancroft on good authority rep resents the Spaniards to have been nt al times, the secrets of the hidden' rain must come into their possession at an; price and at all bazarda. But supplies tiona and intimidations alike proved in effectual in forcing the red children I moko the coveted revelation, and as ; last resort recourse was had to a coward!, ruse, the success of which is unqucstlorj ed. A number of thc adventurous vandal from Spain, tho destroyers of Mexict tracked some of the Indians at difieren times into the mountains, and by thi means finally discovered the whereabout of tho hidden minc in tho valley. It we fully developed, and seemed to nave bee operated by tho Intelligent aborigines fe a long time, tho method of roducing an eliminating the noble metals being n secret to them. Suspicious even of ?he: comrades, and fearful lest by some meat their preicous discovery be* betrayed, ( the Indians drive them from it, they fe upon the small body of Navajoes workin the mine and assassinated them to tho lai man. They then took surreptitious lea? of the Spanish settlement, removed tbe effect to tho hidden valley, and founde a colony there, erecting house*, nnd I due time developing themselves into quil a large and busy community. In 15G0 Cortes began his incursioi into tho vast mountain districts lyic North of Mexico, penetrating tho iute vening territory and entering the Sout! ern portion of what is now Colorad By some strange happening bis soldic learned of the existence or the isolati colony, and, guided by au aged India they found the lonly mountain pass whit loada to the hidden mino. Under tl i pretext of administering punishment f i tbe crime committed against the Indini whom they had robbed of their secrets I taking their lives, Cortes lind the who r colony executed, assassinating the mi ? and children and outraging the womi or carrying them away with them in the mountains. This done, ho select a number of his own force, and, lenvii I them to operate the mine, ostensibly the interest of bis enveniment, be pre cd on toward tho North to prosecute 1 I search for more hidden treasures. The new colony was less successful thc management of the mine. Srifo pi vailed among them, nnd eztondecl to t Indians who lived In the neigbborhoc and with whom their predecessors, frc i the best political motives, bad lived pence, courting their friendship by inti marriage and completely winning thi over to their cause. The new colo bad neglected this all-important prect tion, and having incurred tho hatred tbs redskins by their initial movenic of slaughtering their friends, opeu hoal ity between them was very soon tho j der. Ono dark night tho Indians in a cou less force poured into tho sleeping val and inaugurated a feast of blood in wh nearly turco hundred Spaniards sa? Seed their lives, none escaping io tell I tale. As suddenly as they had co they had departed, leaving a dread scene of carnage behind them. Tbe i ' proTCicenta went into decay, nnd Cot returning by another route the valley i forgotten and centuries cast their ah ows over its bloody history. Last Spring two young men, nae Charles Ackerman and William Itt say, left Lead viii o witb a pair of p burros, two ponies and shovels and pit to go on a long prospecting tour. Ti strayed into Sotsthem Colorado, a having for a lung time wandered nirnl ly about among tho rugged bills, go our. of tho way. of hostile Apaches, i creeping along dall Indian trails, wb perhaps, never a white man set foot, I I i?_l_I "e-,-1-i ovu^itv isiugs ,ii ? \icc|? uicia lil llie IUD tains one stormy night, and thero b their camp fire. The ruddy ?lare of flume penetrated far into the dense git of the cavern-like retreat, aud, actuf by an irresistible fascination that d them onward, tbey supplied tbomso with a burning brand and set out to plore the mysterious region beyond circle of tho light. They at last bouched Into tho hidden valley cootah tho colony of death, but being uusbl discern their surroundings at night, t passed tiie hours until daybreak at t camp fire, and in tho morning max visit to tho rnlnril settlement. Stra to say, possibly owing to the sh( which the high mountain ranges an" ed the valley from the fury of the monts, tbe massive adobe walla of ancient settlement where still in ! and entering them, they were every wi confronted by tho mouldering romatt human bones and skeletons, crumblli ? dust at Ibe slightest touch of the ht In atelier which Ackerman writes t Leadville friend, and from which Sarticulare of their discovery of the en valley is drawr?, ho says : "We did not at first know what to o of tbs strange spectacle presented t in the ancieut city of the dead, witl ; skeleton inhabitants Sud the wild al , desolation brooding over tho scene. every ono of the primitive struciurt found unmietakabio evidence and t ol'civilized society, readily con vi ucir that the settlement was not, tv; wa at imagined, tho handiwork of an intelll branch of tbe ancient Navajoes. Ol inner waihi of the larger adobe b we found tho rematas of a beary cu evidently at ono time the prido of a Castillan warrior. Aa wc prosecute researches through the settlement, we made the discovery that, with few excep tions, each house boro the naroo of Ita former tenant, traced in tho adobe when it was soft, directly above the entrance serving the purpose of ? door. These names wera purely Spanish, and from my diary I transcribe the following: 'Sylves tro Fodrigo, Miguel Bandera, Sandi Pitara, Fr a aclako Manch a,- Lopes,' and a hundred others, In one or two places wo found dates covering ? lanie of yeera extending from 1589 to 1580, convincing us that the settlement must nave flourished for a period of thirty years at least. Aim dep'Ji bf a foot in the ?round, which seems to be the layer which timo covered upon tho scene, Wo unearthed Indian arrow beads, of a some what primitive character, as well ns m? tallo substances, which again prove to us that Centn? les back a fierce war bad raged here between tho original lords of tho soil and the 8panish invaders, and that the latter were overpowered ano perished at the hands of tho red warriors, It was all quite plain to us, and in 'he feigns which nature, bad preserved as a record of the past wo read that Cortes, the con queror of Mexico, had here spent a short period of his-illustrious existence, to what end nod to what-purposes I must leave to ihe solution ot ono gifted with a mo/A fertile and gifted imagination than T<fOsseaa. "But to the point. Drawn onward by our discoveries to search the. valley from one end to the other,- we found in one nf tho most obscure portions of the snmo indications of gold-bearing quartz oh a iump, where it was probably {'iced cen turies back, and soon after we alighted on the shaft of au ancient mino from Which it bad, to alt appearances, been derived! The mouth of tho shaft was entirely closed tip with rock? and bowl ders which bad been broken from tho mountain ?ide and found lodgment here, and was widely intergrown with rankling weeds and shrubbery. Guessing that we had struck a bonanza too vnlunble to ex* poso to any contingency of ? chance div covery by others, without opening tho mice wo took possession; packed our an imals the second day after our entrance into the Talley and returned to Del Nor ire, where wo at once filed our applica tion In tho local laud office to take pos session of the valley under the homestead laws, and additionally secured our mino by a patent. We hired a gang of men and set to developing our bonanza. Such it proved to the most sanguine degree, and in n short time I hope to have amass ed a fortune, wbicb, hyperbolically speak ing wilt enable ino to return to Leadville and purchase the wbolo camp, including all the best mines. The specimen I send ?ou is from the Cid, ns wo call our minc, ly return letter tell me what you think of it."- leadville {Col.) Chronicle. Value of Cotton Seed. lu further illustration of tho value of cotton seed, we give n few important facts, reported to un by a practical plant er and valued correspondent. Ho says : An old negro man, soon after tho war ended, rented land, hired mules at a bale of cotton each td cult?valo it, and in the usual manner got a merchant to furnish him with supplies to enable bim to make a crop. The old man concluded it was best to be governed by his old master's ways, and instead of selling his seed, put , them back upon his land, and has con I tinned to do so ever since ; and if he has not a sufficient quantity of his own raising, be buys of others, and now bo has leased a tract of land for a term of years, for which be pays annnally twenty three bales of cotton, owns nil the mules and horses he uses, has plenty of cattle and hogs, and mo-toy enough to buy j anything he wants, and does not owe any i man a cent. There is another tract of land (school land) in bis vicinity, which three yea? ago rented for $025. This year it is rented for $200 or $250, and it ia doubtful whether the lessee will be able to save himself nt that. This is flat, level land, and a row years ago was rich ; but all tho seed has been sold off. of it, and now one-half of it is too poor to raise anything, nnd is not planted at all. A few years ago I had a piece of red clay land, which I intended putting in colton. It bad been cultivated tho year before by a good worker, but tho stalks standing upon it were only from one to two feet high, nnd I doubt ff it made &? much as 200 pounds ofeeed coticu per acre. A friend of mine advised me to run a center-furrow and scatter al-ou t five times aa much sound seed in it as the usual quantity planted and bcd upon it : this I did early in tho spring,'aud planted about tho usual time of planting. I worked it well, the cotton grew six or seven feet high, and made between 1,000 and 1,200 pounds of seed cotton per acre. One other case : Before the war there was a wealthy planter in the Yazoo valley, in this county, who owned several hundred acres of rico, bottom land, above overflow. He bad all his' surplus seed ?iut on his land and bad his cotton rows rom eight to ten feet apart. The cotton f;rew from seven to arno feet high, and coked irr the middle. He gathered from one balero one bale and a half per acre. Since the war the plantation nos been rented, and principally to negroes, who sold all their seed-except what they wanted to plant. I was on the placo in the Fall of 1870, and frequently up to 1875. In 1870 tho cc-'iMi rows were th ree or three and a half feet apart, and the cotton about three feet high, and made about ono fourih of a baie lier acre. I saw an old negro man last Fall who baa been on tho placo Bine* 1870, who told me that for the last tbreo years he has refused te sell his aeed, but put it upon bis iand, and that he now ciado very near a bale to the acre. Now these aro facts .within the knowledge of hundreds of people in this county, and still wo march on to certain ruin, with a full knowledge of the inevitable results in - the end. Now I ask, will we continue in our suicidal policy, ce will we at once com- ? menee to tako eh ps to remedy tho evils under which wi labor, and pursue a course that will load us to prosperity and happiness? I do not wish to injure any persons in their business, but I regard tbooil mills as the prime cause orour poverty in the South. And it does seem to me that tho planters ought to refuse to permit:tbe-seed-to- be sold to tho oil mon, or force them to pay a fair valuo for them, to enablo us to buy other fertilizers for our land. And no man will doubt- for a moment that this can be accomplished, by a united effort of the planters of this cOnntry. What arty you, shall we try ItT-r-X. B., liovWa;Mit*., in Planltrif Journal. -.

August 8. ; A project ha? como to light hero with referenco to tho South in the pr?tent campaign, which, whether practicable or not, goes fur to explain the purpose oi tho open (Jiftcuesioa over Southern need? and prospects at tho Republican confu?' once in New York the other day. Great caro has been taken since the project was conceived to hedeo.it'. abeiit with secrecy, and el nee Its developments were entrusted to discreet management It has been hk i I ful ly and quietly engineered, lt may have been noticed that at the conference aoveral speakers, upon tho subject of prosecuting the .campaign' in tho South, laid atr-jfts upon the desira bility of having nun go South who wore ?ell known republicans, and upon whoso utterances the colored people could rely, and whose influence would govern them nt ibo polls. Pinchback, for instance, was explicit in the declaration that the South did not want money for campaign purposes, but men. Toa casual observer tho discus sion might nx well not hnvo taken place, for it seemed to accomplished nothing. But it accomplished nil it was intended to accomplish publicly!, and that was to sound tho confer?ueo upon the subject of Bending into Hie South mon whom tho negroes would bo likely to trust and fol low implicitly, .There arie not a dozen. Republicans Of whom tho .mass of ne groes know and by whom they would bo Suldcd. It Is doubtful if there are ?half ozen. They have heat?, oiost of them, of Blaine, but not in a: Way-Jo inspire! them with confidence in him. Ot Sher-1 man most of them havo heard, but as tho purveyor of official patronage for private ends, and they are not so benighted ns to reposo confidence in ono addicted to auch operations. Garfield'waa'a stranger to them before tho Chicago Convention. Slnco then they havo heard littlo of bim except in connection with the questiona ble career which.has tarnished hi* pros-, Eecta in tho North, and history of tho j ircdit Mobilier and Do Goly'cr transac tions, with tho salient features and tho moral effect of which they have become acquainted, bas rather d ipened their disappointment over his nomination. Tho original mason of their.disappoint* munt was because they, bad set their hearts on Gen. Grant's" nomination. 'Interviewa published just'-after tho con vention and circulated throughout, the country were abundant ovidsnco that tho bulk of tho negroos regarded tho defeat of Qrnnt as n defeat of tho party. Their institutions lcd them oven further than this, for Garfield's nomination wan iutcr ?roted by them as a Democratic victory, inuit was and is their hero. The affec-,. tion they cherish for him ls littlo short of] worship. With himI leadii?0 them they would go any whore and d> any thing. A few shrewd political managers, here took in ?lies? notions mid then cast about to 's'en what their practical application would be in tho present canvass. At tho samo timo the debt troubles of Virginia, Tenner-ace and Arkansas began to attract public attention. Many of tho would-be repudiators are negroes, and the Repub lican nimagcrs having tho matter in baud concluded that this could bo explained by the fact that tho negro's sole political aim just now was to array himself ?gatas Democracy. They did not for a moment boliove that bo chose to side with repudiators because of repu diating instincts. Tho Rca dj us tera last year, with the aid of tho negro (naturally Republican) vote, they argued, carried Virginia. There waa a fair chance that Tennessee and Arkansas would follow. Putting the conclusions with reference to Grant's supernatural influonco over ?bo Influence over the negroes and of negro ignorance and gullibility together, tho plan of having Grant himee?f make another tour of- the South was batched. Tho proposed operation was to bo that Grant could wean the negro Beadjusters in these threo States from their new al legiance, and since the State debt agita tion is reasonably certain to continue through this campaign, its advocates, barring tho negroes, bolng largely Demo cratic, would leave tho Democrats divid ed and give to tho Garfield electors in eich Stato a plurality. Then in tho Carolinas, Florida, and Louisiana the preponderance of the negro' vote would bo relied upon to return these States Republican. Such in brief waa tho.pro ject. Garfield and Conkling were both made acquainted with it. Tho knowl edge that no public discussion of it would bo attempted accounts plausibly for their absence from tho- conference which they went to New York avowedly to attend. Whether or not tho matter was discussed at tho subsequent confer? ";,ccs ~- $5? ?5?ea?3r*y with closed doors, depends entirely upon Mr. Conkling. The task of inducing Gen. Grant to un dertake ins tour WAS to fall, naturally, to him, for it waa_conceded that ho atono could do it. J hat a'uo Mr. vonkling realized, and ho understood perfectly, the advantage he hold in that respect. It waa but natural nen, that be should have demanded of the party managers and of Gen. Garfield such promises and concessions for himself in advance of the undertaking as would'duly .compensate him. If the scheme-waa to succeed, as many of the managers believe lt would tho party was entirely in his power, for without such SUSCJSS ho knew a? weil as they what wuld bethe fatal consequences in xiovembcr. Tho really pmbablo effect of any such undoitaking would in all likelihood fall as short of wbr.t the Republicans expect of it as wild schemes usually do of reali zation ; hut there is little doubt thai it bas been strongly urged during* the past few days in New York and duly weighed, and if it has been abandoned it waa because f the failure to agree on compensation between the managers and Gen. Garfield on ona side, and the exacting functiona ry who alono could put it in operation on the other. --;-, - -?y>' No "NidoitB" N.nao APPLY.-Tho nig Tho everlastlr/g nigger, ls at the front j again Demanding &fflee.
