SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 7. 1889.
A TALE OF TWO WOMEN.
There are at present two women
who are attracting the attention of
the English speaking woild Mrs.
May brick, who has been cn trial in
London for the murder of her hus
band by arsenic poison, and Mrs. Kay
Hamilton, who attempted to murder
her servant in a brutal manner. The
former married ber husband for his
money, and seeing another person up
on whom she could lavish her affec
'tion, killed the man to whom she as
wedded after being criminally intimate
with the other. Mrs. Hamilton is an
adventuress of the worst kind, and
was taken from a questionable life in
to the high circles of New York so
ciety. In order to get possession of
her husband's wealth and the jewels of
his family she imposes a bastard upon
lifm on riin nfTUnrinc' anrl mfilrpa A brn-

trpatnres are Americans, livinff in this
golden age of the republic, and reared
with all the benefits of republican so-
ciety surrounding them. There are
; rarely cases of depravity which equal
these, and yet they are described as
women of beauty and accomplish
ments. It only emphasizes the fact
so often stated that the being upon
whom men lavish their holiest affec
tions in the relations of mother, wife,
and sister can reach the loftiest heights
of purity and affection or sink to the
lowest depths of vice and degradation:
Mrs. Maybrick, with other ambitions
in life than the flash and flare of or
naments and the accumulation of
wealth, might have been an honest
wife and' an exemplary mother and
member of society; but not having the
force of character to resist the glare
and glitter of money and the passport
it furnishes to every circle of society,
sacrificed every finer feeling of
- womanhood to its influence. Mrs.
Hamilton might have cultivated the
Ligher virtues of ber sex and led an
upright life if she were content with
her st a -ion and not aspired to the
higher walks of life and used every
means to accomplish her purpose.
This is a sad tale of two women "gone
wrong," which should be a constant
warning to all members of their
sex. Not that they are any worse
than many men. "who sacrifice
honor and every virtue to reach the
goal of their ambition; but in whom
the social sin is almost universally
condoned. The moral of these terri
ble examples is easily seen and under-
scooa. in contentment mere is not
only rest and quiet; but the tempta
tion to viciousness to achieve promi
nence is absolutely wanting. The
honest wife of the honest laborer is
more respected in the world of intelli-
gence to-day than the unchaste mis
tress of a prince. Diamonds and
jewels can never adorn a woman to
the extent that true virtue and the
higher elements of .lady-like character
do, and the wife of the plebian and
mother of Lis children is more ad-
mired by eyery true gentleman than
the harlots who throng the courts of
kings and emperors and barter their
chastity for gaudy gems.
OREGON IMPROVEMENTS.
The Columbia Waterway Associa
tion will hold its fifth annual session
ic the city of Portland October 10 th.
Secretary Brewster, in writing from
Vancouver, says regarding the wotk
at the mouth of the Columbia and at
the Cascade Locks:
The work upon the jetty at the
mouth of the Columbia has advanced
so far that its completion is assured.
and the result will be beyond the most
sanguine expectations of the advocates
of the jetty system. Already an in-
creasea aepui vl iuur icci uu mo uar
is apparent, and we are promised
thirty-two feet at dead low water
when the jetty is completed. .The
cbannel from Portland to Astoria has
also been permanently deepened.
The work at the Cascade Locks has
been pushed faster than ever. The
board of engineers sent abroad by the
government' to investigate vaiiius
methods of overcoming the obstruc-
tinnq at. Thn TlaliAa. will rirpHpn t. n. rp- I

LUiaglCUb Ul & Will vvlUw .a. uo nuino
in progress have been visited this year
by several parties of senators and
representatives, all of whom expressed
great satisfaction with the methods L.
the results to follow. Several ODenlv
announced their intention of assisting
our congressional delegations to get I
suthcient sums from the next congress
to finish the works under way, instead
of continuing the present system of
piecemeal appropriations.
By holding an enthusiastic conven
tion of representative men of tne
northwest we may emphasize the im
portance cf the early completion of
the improvements to navigation now
in progress in relation to the Colum
bia river ,and by presenting this matter
in its true light the forthcoming ses
sion of congress may do something for
-us in the shape of liberal appropria
tions. The paltry sums hitherto
given for rivers and harbors have not
been conducive to an early completion
of the projected improvements, and if
at this meeting of the association these
facts were pointed out it is to be hoped
that congress would see the neces
sity of appropriating such sums that
the engineers in charge can do effective
work. Each board of trade interested
should have statistics regarding ex
ports, rates of freight, and country in
the yicinity tributary to the riyer.
Until recently eastern men have not
known the importance of tho north
west, and the large ar?a of country
drained by the Columbia river. The
visits of the congressional delegations
during the past summer have made our
country better known, and we may
expect to realize a beneficial result in
the next River and Harbor bilL
DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED.
Notwithstanding tne partial iauure
of crops in Eastern Oregon and Wash-
ington this season, the prospects for
another year are aa bright as in any
portion of the United States. This is
the first misfortune in the shape of
drouth that has happened in the in
land empire since it has been settled
by white men over a quarter of a
century. There is no reason to be
lieve that it will again happen in the
same length of time, and no one should
be discouraged. The loss this year,
by the exercise of enterprise, can b
easily overcome, and in this way it
may act as an incentive to our re
tarded development. For jesrs, with
out any effort apparently to counter
act the influence, the tide of immigra
tion from the eastern states has been
drifting towards Eastern Washington
and the Willamette valley. If we will
use business sagacity next year we will
receive large accessions to our popu
lation from this source. Our land
are as fertile, and we have vast areas
unoccupied as any in the north west,
and home-seekers would gladly settle
ar midst if thpy knew the ad
vantages which we possess. This
i o
knowledge should be spread broad
and ry dollar so spent will
bring
ten in return. In this
regard we should follow the example
of our neighbors who have been reap
ing a rich harvest of immigrants while
we have lain dormant All kinds of
literature newspapers, pamphlets and
circulars, should be sent to large east
ern cities, and profusely scattered
amonsr all classes of people. Cold
winters, cyclones and blizzards, and
an over-taxed soil have forced the in
dustrious to look elsewhere for homes.
If we desire them, information of our
resources should begiven.and they will
come. On the contrary, if we do not
desire the industrious classes of Amer
icana as adjuncts to our growth, the
effort will be a waste of energy, and
contrary to the principles of economy
in all kinds of labor which we prize so
highly.
RACE WAR IN THE SOUTH.
It has been several years since the
adoption of the constitutional amend
ment giving the right of suffrage to
colored citizens, and hardly in a single
instance has it been enforced. Race
pride or race prejudice, whichever
it may be termed, is as prevalent
to-day in the South as ever, and ap-
parently there are no indications
it dying out. It was not unreasonable
to suppose that former slave-owners
would not view with any feelings of
complaisancy the changed condition of
their former chattels. But political
equality does not by any means sig
nify social equality, and simply be
cause a negro can vote is no reason
that he should be admitted on a level
with others into society. While in
the north political rights have been
granted to all white persons, of what-
ever nationality, after being natural-
'zed, this has in no instance torn down
the walls of social restriction. Emerg-
ing from a stati of slavery it was not
expected that the colored population
would be very intelligent voters for
some time; but since the war
schools have been established,
and intelligenca among them is
becoming more general Equal po-
iitical rights would not haye been
granted them except as a means of
protection, and as such it should have
effected a good purpose. But at this
late day it is useless to argue this
question. The suffrage amendment
has become a part of the constitution,
and as such it should be en
forced .the same as any other
clause in that instrument. The
states Eouth of Mason & Dixon's
line cannot restrict suffrage by reason
of "race, color or previous condition of
servitude," and if their object is to
have the white race rule at the ballot
bo lt mnst be brought about by
some other means.
The Democratic press of the state
I are taking the figures of the tariff and
adding them to the price of the manu
factured article. This is not honest or
fair. The editors of these papers
know aa well as any one else that this
duty does not add to the price of the
i.t D;mniH An n I, . . 1 ... 1,
;nBt the introduction of the foreign
fabric. For instance, the price of.
callc0 n thia country is only 5 cents a
yard, while the tariff on foreign prints
i3 s;x cent8 a yard. This is sisnicant in
. fc t . .omDet;t;on we have
the actual price of the import duty,
This is the fact in many instances.
xhe protective duty is simnly a re.
8triction to foreigners, and says.
"Hands off; let Americans compete
with themselves." If this was abol
ished the surplus of English looms
would seek a market in this country,
and the result would be our factories
would be starved out and the British
faotor would charge any price he de
sired. As it is, we allow Americans
to compete with each other and
cheapen the price of the article to the
lowest minimum.
There is again rumors in the dis
patches of a war between Germany
and Russia; but these rumors have
become periodical, and are expected at
stated intervals. The fact of the
matter is that neither one of these
nations is desirous of declaring war
against the other, and before there
will be any clash of arms diplomacy
must exhaust all its resources. The
science of killing men has advanced so
much within the last few years that
battles will be very destructive of
human life, even to the victorious.
Germany,with her thoroughly military
government, understands this well,
and the fact is too well known even
to the czar, with all his ambition for
acquisition of territory, for him to
madly rush into war. The extensive
preparations forjaconfl:ct which every
nation in Europe has been making for
some years past, p:aces peace on a
firmer basis and makes war more remote.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
There are some fatal cases reported
in experimenting with Dr Brown-Se-quard's
elixir of life. It may answer
a useful purpose yet, and tske the
place of the fool-killer.
Malietoa has been returned to his
kingdom in Samoa, and the Geman
consul has informed him that he can
do what he likes. This grant of free
dom from the foreigner will no doubt
be appreciati d.
The trial of several persons for the
murder of Dr. Cronin has begun in
Chicago. Considerable interest will
center around these proceedings, and
the country will anxiously watch
every day's progress.
TheBrown-Sequard Hammond elixir
of life has not proved to le suc
cessful in every instance, and the old
must be content with the demonstrated
fact that they cannot live always, and
the young that they will eventually
become old and pass off the stage of
action.
Parliament has been prorogued un-
til Nov. 16th, and the queen's speech
is full of .the most hopeful allusions to
the prosperity of the empire and the
amicajile relations with foreign nations.
The Behring sea difficulty was not
mentioned, . perhaps for prudential

glad to see this general acceptance of
labor day over the union.
The nominations made by the Walla
Walla convention are acceptable to the
Republicans of the state, and no doubt
will receive their hearty support at the
polls. Each candidate is peculiarly
adapted to the position, and we expect
to see the largest majority ever polled

voters. North Ykima, Ellensburgh
and Olympia are candidates, and it is
difficult to tell which will-secure the

stilution, and the eloction of congres
sional and state officers will be the
great objects with the sovereign people;
but the' location of the state capital
will also receive, a great deal of atten
tion
Our water commissioners are work
ing arduous to devise means by which
to furnish a water supply for the city.
Tbey have made an offer of $40,000
to The Dalles Mill and Water Co. for
their plant, and if this Js not ac
cepted will pioceed immediately with
the work. The company are not wise
if they do not accept this offer, as this
city is determined to have a water
supply at whatever cost, and if this is
not accepted the property will be
worthless in two or three years. There
is no more urgent necessity than a
water supply for The Dalles, and it is
well for all those, who are opposing it
to understand that if the commission
and council are blocked by legal tech'
nicalties, a joint-stock company will be
formed to do the work. The people
of this city are in earnest about this
matter, and will have water at what
ever cost.
The East Oregonian says "the Dem
ocratic party never pretended to favor
free-trade.' But they will be nearly
solid in favor of a radical reduction of
the robber, poverty-producing tariff.
-" Those who don't favor this
will not be Democrats." We would
like our esteemed cotemporary to
explain its position cn the great
economic policy, for we must Jay Gould was the first to send con
acknowledge that we are at a gratulations to Cleveland upon his
loss to determine its status. It bitter-
ly opposes protection and is in favor of
a radical reduction of the tariff, and
still is not in favor of free-trade. The
editor ha3 not used an argument in
support of his position for some time
past but what has been used by free-
traders in England, Prance. Germany
and America. If these Democratic
tariff reformers are not free-traders in
every sense of the term we do not
know where to place them.
Very prominent among the charges
i
made by the Democracy against the
Republican party is that it has been
the cause of the formation of the dif-
ferent "trusts" in the country, "be-
cause protection plays into the hands
of the capitalists." The most gigan-
tic trust which has ever cursed the
county has been that of the Stand-
ard Oil, pnd it has never received one
cent of protection. In the Mills bill
the offspring of Democratic free-trade
thought sugar was protected, presum-
ably for the purpose of soothing the
Bourbon planters of Louisana, and
this is another trust that cannot be re-
ferred to the Repblican party. Wool
was protected in the senate bill, be-
cause the cheap product of Australia
ana ooutu America would Kill tne in-
dustry in this country, and no trust
has resulted. These trusts are simply
the combination of capital to control
the market, and they happen regard-
ing nearly everything that is bought
and sold. They become very oppress-
ive to consumers; but the best way to
c imbat them is the plan suggested by I
Mr. Powderly to the Knights of La-
bor regarding the coffee trust. He
advised them to combine against it,
and not use tne article. Tne people
must follow the tactics of capitalists, I
and fight them with their own wea-1
pons, as far as possible. I
The platform adopted by the Wash-
ington Republicans in session at Walla
Walla is one that has the true ring to
it Protection is the key-note, and
preraeates every plank. Our friends
across the river know what they want,
and have no hesitancy in voicing their
sentiments on economic questions,
Washington just marshaling herself in
the galaxy of the union, knows that
her infant industries need encourage
ment and development, andwill array
herself on the side of that party which
offers the best protection.
Canada is anything but reasonable
in her bluster on the Behrinz sea
question. The dispatches stated to
day that there were great rejoicings
over the return of the fishing schoon
ers to "Victoria, wnich were captured
by tho Hash and their cargoes of
sealskins taken. Uncle Sam will
not stand th:.s boy's play much
loncrer. and will have sufficient war
vessels in our northern waters to fully
enforce his rights.
The great army of woilcrs in Lon
don are on a strike, and several thou
sand idle men are parading the streets
The strikers number nearly 200,000,
and they are determined to bring the
employers to terms. It is the old con
flict between labor and capital, which
will contiuue as long as the rich desire
to become richer, and in order to ac
complish this object will reduce wages
to the lowest price.
Chicago has entered (he luts as a can-
... t f international exoosition
in 1892. New York, as the metrop
olis of the western continent, will
undoubtedly use every effort to have
the exposition held in that city; but
Chicago has considerable business en
terprise and will be a lively competi
tor. Already the leading papers in
these cities have sent out circulars
lasting the press ot the country to
voice their claims.
The question ofwomm suffrage
will be one of the leading issues in
the contest at the state election in
Washington. The trends of the
movement are determined to lose
sight of everything else, and en'er the
campaign on this question alone. The
matter is left to the electors whether
I suffrage is conferred upon all sexes or
not in the new constitution. Mrs.
Abigail Scott Duniway will enter the
political arena, and we may expect an
nteresting contest
The Canadians are injudicious
J
in
their bluster about the Behring Sea
controversy. They will not, by their
loud talk and braggadocio, induce the
home government to seek a quarrel
with the United States, and without
her aid they are powerless. If they
had an army of well-drilled soldiers at
their command and a fleet of the most
powerfQl ship3 hey could bjow and
bluster about their rights; but until
then they must learn to be quiet and
behave themselves.
With the exception of the Demo
cratic press constantly decrying pro
tection as the robber tariff, and Re
publican papers upholding the policy,
there is nothing political in Oregon
newspapers. After tne campaign has
fairly commenced in Washington the
Oregon press may take some interest
in the political fight in the new state,
without they are bluffly told to attend
to their own business. But this is the
calm before the battle; for next season
we shall have a lively fight.
The race war still continues in the
south, and colored and white men are
fighting each other. The elective
franchise was given the negroes for
Protection, and this is the bone of
contention. It tne government was
to deny these rights to the colored
men of the south, the dominant race
would have everything their own way,
Ihe amendments to the constitution
have been in force for several years,
and it is of the utmost importance
that every right guaranteed by them
should be enforced.
This bosh about Republican pluto
crats is getting tiresome. Let the
public examine the matter and see
who are the plutocrats of the country,
election in 1 88S; -and the chairman of
the Democratic National committee is
Bryce, a man who has millions at his
disposal. Capitalists are not politicians
in the honest way of defining the
term. They are in favor of either
party that serves their ends, and the
millionaires of New York or any other
city in the United States would attach
themselves to either organization if
they believed they could secure favors.
The clans are gathering in Walla
Walla, and the candidates are marshal-
ing their forces. Hon. E. P. Ferry is
the most prominent a an mentioned
for governor, although Col. L S. How-
lett, of North Yakima, has some fol-
lowing. For congress John L Wilson
takes the lead, although R. O. Dunbar,
of Klickitat county, is looming into
prominence. North Yakima is head-
ing fcff Ellensburgh in the race for the
capital of the new state, and undoubt
edly Olympia will be a formidable
competitor. Of course the convention
cas not crystalized yet, and it is diffi-
cult at this early day to determine
who will be the standard-bearers.
The great strike which is now in
progress in London brings plainly to
view the old conflict of labor and cap
ital. J hat capitalists should pay
workmen as little wages as possible, is
a well-known rule of business in every
country, and that labor should de-
raand as high a price as it can
receive, is also well known and
followed in every department
of industry. Heretofore the com
bination of capital has left
wage - earners at a disadvantage; but
the toilers of the world have learned
th; tactics cf their opponents, and
nave formed organizations, mis is
the reason that we hear of so many
strikes in every portion of the world,
Combination is met by combination,
and of course there' must be a clashing
of interests. The result of organiza
tion among laborers is very desirable,
if they simply attempt to maintain
their rights by legal means, lhat capi-
tal is very oppressive very few will de-
ny, and that its shameless attempts
to bend all things to its behests should
be curbed will also be. acknowledged
by very many. - But all efforts
in this direction should be dictated by
reason, and the peace and quiet of the
community should be consulted in
every instance.
It is reported that high officials in
China have petitioned Prince Chun
that all Americans employed in the
empire be expelled. This is simply a
"tit-for-tat" policy which might have
been expected. We passed the exclu
sion bill regarding Uhinese. and we
may expect that country to retaliate.
Col. Daniel Lamont, formerly pri
vate secretary for President Cleveland,

Railroad, New York. This will give
the colonel some remunerative and

which may not happen for a few years
yet
It was at one time believed that the
United States would interfere in Hay
tian affairs, and stop the sanguinary
warfare between the two factions in
the kland; but peace is gradually
commencing to dawn on that ill-fated
country, and it is hoped that when or
der is once more established it will be
more permanent-than ever before.
Since the 1000 feet tower at the
Paris Exposition has attracted the at
tention of the world, New York in
tends to add 500 feet to the tower to
be built in that city, and London in
the pile of iron and masonry which
she will construct will add 500 feet to
the New York structure. There were
giants in scriptural days, and there
will be giants in these modern days.
Twenty Arabs, of the Asiatic gen
ius, and not of those who have been
bred in the streets cf American cities,
are at Castls Garden, awaiting the de
cision of the authorities. If these are
admitted 70,000 more will immigrate
to the country. These may not be
very desirable adjuncts to our popula
tion, as we have enough now of the
unassimila'ive variety of the human
species.

It is the intention of the British
government, by means of the Canadian
Pacific and a line of steamships from
the west coast of British Columbia, to
secure the trade of China. This mav
be the object, as it appears, but un
derlying this, Great Britain as a
maratime powar, must have cruisers in
every ocean, and sue is not going
to leave the Pacific unguarded. Aside
from the tea trade, China holds out no
great promise of commercial wealth;
bat all over the North and South
Pacific are scattered islands which may
furnish a lucrative business to the
shop-keepers of the island empire.
England never neglects an opportu
nity to increase her commerce, for in
this consists her wealth and prestige
as a nation.
"We scarcely pick up a Democratic
exchange but what it has more or less
to say regarding the millionaires of
the country and the autocratic power
of aggregated capital, and blaming
these upon the policy of the Repub
lican party. The Democrats have had
possession of the lower house of con
gress since 1876 excepting one ses
sion, and or the administration
from 1884 to 1888. If legislation
could equalize financial matters they
are to blame lhat they have not done
something looking in this direction.

An Irish Industry JteviTing.
New York World.
Irishmen in the United Slates will be
glad to learn that the association started
by Michael Davitt a couple of years ago
to encourage the industries of their native

the shares ot the company are now held
at a premium in Dublin. Several good
dividends have been declared, and there
are excellent prospects for the future. It
is a patriotic and philanthropic enter-
prise, and not a money-making scheme.
Mr. Davitt had long been couvinced that
a large demand for Irish homespun wool-
lens would arise if they were properly in- I
troduced in the United States and Eng-
land, and the result of the experiment has
justified this opinion. The difficulty at
the outset was to meet the long credits
given by English manufacturers, the Irish

THE WAR OF RACES.
New Orleaxs, St-pt. 3. The Pica
yune's Jackson, Mbs.. sjiccitil i ys In
au interview to day, Gjvtruor Lowrv
made iu substance this answer to the
general questions us to the t:itc of affairs
iu Le Fiore county: 'On arriving M
Greenwood I found tome excitement
among the people, no as I believe, from
asy tear of bloodshed between the lace
iu a conflict of arms, but rather from the
menace of tlie negroes and their defiant
attii ude of two days before, and this w
probably intensified by the fact that tl.e
negroes, or at least quite a number of
them, were armed with Winchester rifle.
Three military companies had airivid,
and quite a number of ritiz.'ii volunteers
from ihe neighboring counties. The lat
ter seemed determined to have matters
their own way. I feared Unit if they went
to the scene of the disturbance in the ex
cited t-tate in which they were, they
would do harm instead ot good. After a
consultation it was tinaJlv decided that
the militia, instead of thc cilizen volun
teers, should be sent to Mioter City to aid
the sheriff in enforcing the law."
The reports as to whether nny of tho
negroes had been killed or a number
captured were very conflicting. One ne

THE CHOXIS MUKDER TRIAL.
Chicaoo, Sept. 3. The Crouin trial
was resumed to-day. Judge AlcCrnncIl
decided to allow the following questions
to be asked by the defense of tha tales
men :
First Have you formed an opinion as
to whether Dr. Cronin was tukeu to the
Cirlson cottage by a horse aud buggy en
gaged by Daniel CougMm from Dinnin
& Luoerman ?
Secocd llave you an opinion as to
wueiiier or not jiarun liurke, one ot the
(ieteudants, was a tenant of the sai
CarUon cottage?
Third Have you an opinion that the
so called CUn-i.a Gael society is in an
wav to blame for the death of Dr. Cronin?
Fourth Have you n opinion as to
whether the death of Dr. Cronin was th
result of a conspiracy?
ritib Have ou loruied an opinion
u wiiemer any oi these detenuaots were
members of the said conspiracy?
ine selection oi a jury waj then re
sumed.
The afternoon session was devoted en
tirely to the examination of the talesmen
Four men were tendered to the prosecu
tioD by the defense, but two of them
were neremptoiily challenged bv the
state and excused. The remaining tw
men were held over until to morrow,
and lt 13 possible that the state mav con
wuut lu ucuepi one or even uotn oi
I .. 1
tnese gentlemen. JNo definite progress.
tbeiefore, in the selection of the jury has
leen made thus tar, and the prospects
are that a full jury will not be secured
until the peremptory challenges of both
sides arc exhausted and legal disqualin
cation becomes the only pretext for re
jectiujj a juror.

with Judge Terry w hile the latter was in
Alameda county jail, and that Terry
threatened to tlap Justice Field's face.
and intimated that be would be pleased
to have Field attempt to use a weapon on
mm.
M. M. Estee stated that he had known
Judge Terry for over thirty years, and
that tne iact mat he carried a weapon
was known to all ot bis acquaintances
if. U. Wiggington testified ttia be vis
itcd Judge Terry in jail, and Terry said

When the latter left for Los Angeles
about August 7, he instructed Neagle to

tbe lact that Jerry was not an ordinary
man, and it he met Field it would prob

Neagle that in his opinion Terry
would assault Field, and if he did Neagle
would have to act quickly. Witness said
that, although Terry might iutend only
to insult Field when he saw him, he
didn't believe Terry could control bis

draw a knife. He warned Neagle to
take no chances, but to protect Field at

THE RACE CONFLICT.
New Orleans, Sept. 4. A special
from G.-eenwood, Miss., says: ''From
present appearances it looks as thouo-h
the sud ot peace would supersede the
cloud of war. The sheriff of this couutv
returned from Winter City, the scat of
war, last evening, and reports everythino-
quiet up there.
Four of tbe ringleaders, named Adolnh
Horton, Scott Morris, M. J. Dial and
Jack Dial, were killed. Tbe excitement
among the negroes was augmented by a
report that a peaceful negro had been
killed during the night for refusing to
take up arms against the white people.
Tjpon the arrival of the troops it was
learned that a party oi about 100 neeroe!.
well armed with Winchester rifles, were
encamped near Cane Land, a distance of
six or eight miles from Miuter City. A
reconnoitenng party ol citizens number-
ng about hity men was organized and
proceeded to Interview the belligerent
blacks. After riding for some time
through a dense forest of cane and vine;.
they arrived at the place designated as
tne camp ot tne negroes, but thev had
moved to some other place. Search was
at once instituted. Ihe party, while nas-
sing through Plankton, came upon
Adolph Horton and Jack Dial, and they
weie tummauum. io surrender. Tbey
drew pistols ane started to run, when
mey were suot aown
iue other leaders were killed this
morning while resisiing arrest.
Thomas. Allen and Cromwell th
ing spirits ot the insurrection, have not
oeen arrested, out tbe whites ann iIPMr
class of negroes are determined to brin
tbem to justice.
The best of feeling prevails bet
the white and better class of negroes.
