at Julesburg, Oct. 26ih, 1S6G, and
says:
"The Indians have been stealing
mules and cattle 18 miles below Jules
burg. Three nights ago they stam
peded 95 mules belonging to Cailyle.
and about 100 head of beef cattle that
were oh their way to the river, and
shot one man. They drove the
stock all ofT. The next morning the
soldiers went in pursuit, and got 24
mules and nearly all the cattle back.
The Ranchmen think there will be a

Principle ts Policy.
The oflicial canvass of the October
elections in" the eastern States show
largely increased Republican majori
ties, even over those of Mr. Lincoln
in lsGL This is but another evidence
of the soundness of the doctrines of the
Republican party, for the right must
prevail, and no principles except those
based upon right and justice can stand
the test of a popular verdict for any
great length of time. "Policy" may
rule for a time, bu' principles are eter
nal; and those advocating just meas
ures will come out victorious in the end,
no matter whether in political, social
or buMnrss affairs. The groundwork
of the Republican faith is Justice.
and the people have decided in its fa
vor s opposed to "pohcy." Let the
pany Lut kee-p in the straight traik
and, as the New Yt-rk Herald tay3,
the Republicans have a rjuarter of a
cenlur' l:are of power in this coun
try." J us.ice will prevail in as en
lightened a country as the United
Stat.'?, and the men or the party that
forsakes her paths fur the more tortu
ous cne of "policy " will go down as
the retd before the tempest, or the
Johnson party before the indignation
of a clear seeing at:d freedom loving
people. Let demagogues and 'policy"
m t-n beware.
CONVICTED AXU ES(JAIE1.
The trial of James P- ' Howe and
John Pen'se,' charged with the murder
of George L. Gideon, was brought, to
a clos yesterday morning- It resulted
in the acquittal of Pense.and the con
viction of Howe for manslaughter and
a senteuce of one year in the Peniten
tiary. Howe was remanded to the
jail, from .whence he made his escape
about dark last evening, under the fol
lowing circumstances:
The colored mau Gibson. havi,ng
no place to stay after his acquittal, and
having no money was left in .the jtil
over night Hawe and Gibson were
the only prisoners in the jail. Alout
dark, or a little before, Gibson came
running up 6tairs, where deputy sher
iff Gass and family live, saying that
Howe had broken jail. Mrs. Gass
sent him to the Court House to inform
the sheriiT. which he doue promptly,
but no traces of the prisoner could be
found. Gibson says he had entered a
back apartment in the jail and closed
the door. He heard the main entrance
to the jail opened, and upon looking
out sivv Howe just emerging there
from, with a bundle of clothes which
he had prepared.
The jail was fastened by a huge
padlock on the outside, a counterpart
of which is not known in the county.
The lock had been opened and was
found Iviu? on the floor iuit within the
J f
door, without key or other implement
with which it could have been opened.
There is a grate at the side of the door,
where a person on the inside can reach
around to the lock. It is the belief of
sheriff Gas. as well as most 01 our
citizens, that the loclc was opened by
some one on the out-ide. or eLe that
the prisoner had been provided vi;h a
... -
key. e catnot iimgine mat tnis
lock could have been unbolted except
with a regularly formed key, as it i?
one of peculiar shape; but the question
is, how was one obtained? Some in

e
matter.
Blame cannot be attached to Sheriff
Gass, as the prisoner was connneu in

Had it been a measure which Demo

are of opinion they could have killed

could have defeated the Constitutional

WAS IT A "CANAItDI"
Forney states it is the general bel'ef
in Washington that President Johnson
did, in some shape, submit to his At
torney General the questions which
a short time ago the telegraph charged
him with. Forney says: 'I have
not conversed with a single intelligent
observer, who does not believe that the
ouestions published in the Philadel-
a a
phia Ledger on the

if not in a written

consultation with his associates.

preservation of his own notorious plat

own threats."
The author of the so-called "canard
also says that from a reliable gentle
man he learned "that a paper had been
seen in the Attorney General' office
with the printed heading, "Executive
Mansion," containing a series of ques
tions iu relation to the actual status.

The Rulo Rtgisler, a late convert .to
the "Conservative doctrine, :n speak
ing of J. Sterling Morton, says:
"This able and efrkient advocate of
President Johnson and his reconstruc
tion policy, has won an esteem in the
hearts of the Conservatives oi neoras-
ka.that will be lasting at the memory
of the campaign just ended. True to
Johnson, true to his policy' of recon
struction, active, energetic and earnest
in all that pertains to the vindication oi
the same the Johnson party all over
the Territory, but more especially in
Southern Nebraska, recognize in him
a leader, whom they love to honor, ann
on whom they rely as a trusted and
reliable representative of their in
terests." , . ;
Yes; he "won the esteem" of the
rVm.prvntlvps" durincr ihe war. when
he was cursing soldiers as "Lincoln
hirelings'' and using those choice epi
thets which be so well, knows how. -to
use. - We know several Democrats' in
these parts that "love to honor" him,
as well as "the "Conservative of
Southern Nebraska. If he is "true to
Johnson" he cannot be true to the po

and "his policy."

The election of a number of Demo

importation of voters from Kentucky.
In the Fourth Indiana District, the
election of Holman, Democrat, over

short lime hundreds of people were on

headway lhat it was impossible to save
ihe building. .Large quantities of pine
lumber, lath and shingles were carried
away by the citizens from the building
to a safe place. About six o'clock in
ihe evening, when Mr. Terry was
returning from tea, he discovered a
liizhtor small fire in the building and
was on the point of going over to see
what caused it; but on second thought,
opposed it was a fire built by the me

the result of accident or carelessness.
We understand Mr. Irish had ihe
building insured for S3.000. Ihe
heaviest loss falls unon the contractor
