Tho business portion of Marble

The Bepublicanp ,utone-third
of the counties in! ave held con
ventions, and all but two that refer
red to national afTuirs have condemned
the President's Southern policy.
like that of Pennsylvania, to defy law
and outrage all sente of justice is to
aroiihu the public and to give impetus
to retributive forces. The strength of
of the Molly Maguires, their cunning,
their during, their intrigues, all
availed not. Themnrderers were pur
sued, captured, tried, executed. A
body f men animated by an evil
spirit could influence its members to
commit crimes, but it could do nothing
to cave them. With the going out of
the lives of the men executed at Potts
A'ille and Mauch Chunk went the
power and influence of the Molly Ma
guires in Pennsylvania. The dan
irerous societv mv threaten, but Its
lines have been broken, and it must
yield to the Inevitable.
The blow at the Molly Maguires is
a blow at all dangerous elements in
society. In the Northern States the
existence of organizations at war with
the Interests of the common people
will not be tolerated. As the North
has dealt with the Molly Maguires, so
would it deal w:h the White Leag
uers and Night Riders of tho Fouth.
The law should pursue them to the
bitter end, that society may be pro
tected and tlie laws vindicated.
Ex-Gov. Packard, of Louisiana, on
his tour west, was at Des Moines,
Jowa, on the 2Gth, and received a most
cordial reception. He was serenaded
in the evening and made a speech.

Salt Lake correspondence, and you

On the 20th Inst. St. John City, N.

entire businees portion of the city and
many residences areln ashes. Twen
ty thousand people were rendered
tiomeless; the aggregate of losses will
reaoh $20,000,000, and from fifty to
one hundred people were killed or
burned to death during the conflagra

"Wharton, recently appointed U. S.
Iarshal at New Orleans. Paokard
Bays in a card addressod to Wharton :
"To the last you were faithful to the
Republican party and perfectly loyal

lawful Governor.
Ex-Senator D. D. Pratt, of Logans
port, Ind. died on the 17th inst. The
Chicago Inter Ocean referring the
demise of this eminent man, Eays of
him :
Modest and retiring in demeanor, he
was recoguizedasoueof the most pow
erful advocates at tho Western bar,
and for his great legal erudition was
widely known outside of tho State.
Mr. Pratt came West at an early day
and finally fixed upon Logausportas
his home, where he has Jived for
many years. He had a wonderful
physique, and a rich and powerful
voice that has been the envy of many
a public speaker. Many not enjoying
his personal acquaintance will re
member him as the Reading Clerk of
tho great Wigwam Convention in
Chicago that nominated Abraham
Lincoln. Few voices in that vast as
sembly could bo heard to the utter
most parts of tho hall ; but that of
Mr. Pratt rang like a clarion through
the great building, and penetrated to
the very street. Mr. Pratt was elected
to Congress from the Logansport dis
trict InlSGS, but before he took his
seat was taken up by the Legislature
and Pent to the Senate for six years.
At the end of his term Prenident
Grant appointed him Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, when the same
zeal and fidelity to public trust mark
ed his administration as had charac
terized his official life in Congress. He
was a pure, slainleps man ; honest,
faithful, any patriotic. His loss is a
deep one, and will be generally deplored.
3eoretary Sherman in a statement
made to theTJ. S. Treasurer, says the
amount of fractional currency lost in
circulating and which cannot bo re
deemed, is $8,0S0,513.50 that the
amount outstanding is $13,126,41G.SSt
to be taken up and replaced with silv
er coin. Ho instructs the Treasurer
"to issue, according to law, from time
to time, an amount of silver coin
which, including tho amount Issued
eince the dato of tho resumption act,
January 14th, 1S7G, and the amount of
fractional currency outstanding, as
thus ascertained, will equal $50,000,
O00. We hope none of our Democratic
readers will take us to be what we are
Hot. One the other day asked us if
we now would not "about as soon
have seen Tilden oounted in." In
deed, no, sir. We believe President
Hayes to bo a straightforward, hon
orable.man, without triokery or the
least predilection for the cunning arts
of the politician whileof Mr.TIlden,
we think that's all there is of him.
And then Hayes' policy save the
single feature of refusing to recognize
Packard Bulls us first rate. He ap
points Republicans to office some of
them negroes, and Tilden wouldn't
have done that.
Governor Wade nampton, of S. C.
attended the recent celebration In N.
Y. city of the "Shields' Guard," and
made a speech a very good speech
full of patriotio sentiment and good
promises. If tlie Governor will act as
well as ho talks he will do well.
Speaking of carpet baggers he said :
Your distinguished Governor has
been pleased to allude to the contest
in South Carolina. That, my friends,
was not a political struggle. It rose
far higher than any such contest ever
waged on this continent. It was a
contest for civilization, for home, rule,
good government, for life itself. It
was a contest waged by the people of
South Carolina, not as demagogues
would tell you, against northern men.
It was a contest waged against carpet
-baggers. And when. I say carpet bag-
Spts. T irfnri hv ttmtr-tbB thief. TAn-
plause. We do not call any North
ern man, any Irishman, any German,
or Englishman, who settles in our
midst as on honest citizen, a carpet
bagger. We welcome such with open
arms. We tell them come to genial
skies and fertile soil. Come one come
all. I pledge them in the name of t) e
State, a warm-hearted reception. We
do not ask whether they are Republi
cans or Democrats.
Illinois has now what the Inter
Ocean claims to be a good military
law. The provisions of this law are
briefly as follows:
All able bodied male citizens be
tween the ages of 18 and 45 aresubject
to military duty. Tlie Governor may
when necessary cause the enrollment
of the militia, and direct its organiza
tion into regiments, battalions, bri
gades, and companies, and, when the
pamo is in active service, it 6hall re
ceive thesamepay as like troops of the
United States.
The active militia is styled the "Ill
inois National Guard," and shall bo
composed of ono division of three bri
gades, commanded by one Major Uen
eral and threeRrigndler Generals, the
Governor being Commander-in-Chief.
Tho staff of Commander-in-Chief
shall consist of the Adjutant General
(who shall be ex-ollicio chief of sfaff)i
Commissary General, and Quartermas
ter General. The Adjutant General
shall rank aB a Major Goneral. The
division sfafTshall consist of Chief of
StalT, with rank of Colonel ; Assistant
Adjutan t General, ran king asLieu ten
ant Colonel ; Quartermaster, ranking
as Major; Judge Advocate and Pay
master, also ranking as Major, and
two aids-de-camp, ranking as Captain.
The brigade stair is to consist of As
sistant Adjutant General, ranking as
Lieutenant Colonel ; Assistant In
spector General and Surgeon, rank
ing as Majors ; Quartermaster and
Commissary, ranking as Captains and
two aids-de-camp, ranking as Lieu
tenant. Regiments shall consist of not less
than eight nor more than ten compan
ies. Battalions of not less than two
nor more thanseven companies.
Tho organization of regiments and
companies corresponds substantially
with the organization of the Federal
troops.
An examining board is provided for
to examine and instruct in military
tactics, the commissioned officers.
The term of enlistment shall be five
years, and the regulations of the Un
ited States army shall govern unless
otherwise provided.
Provision for drills, parades, encamp
ment, and target practice, is made,
and a system of fines Is established as
punishment for various ofiensep.
Arms are to be furnished by the State
to the various organizations, upon
proper bond for safe-keeping and re-
rum.
To meet the expenses of the organi
zation, and forthe purchase of arms
and equipments, a tax of one-twentieth
of a mill upon a dollar is to be
annually levied upon the taxable prop
erty of the State, creating a fund to be
set opart as a military fund.
On the present assessment basis this
levy will raise about $50,000 annually.
Not an extravagant amount, but suffi
cient to build up in a few years an or

event, sent a committee to Mayor
Prince with a petition asking that no
intoxicating liquors be used at the
banquet to bo given tho President.
In answer, the Mayor addressed the
ladies substantially as follows :
"I have been studying the subject
for thirty years and know that the
desire of the prohibitionists cannot be
accomplished, for the reason that it is
not right that it should be ; I approve
of the moderate use of wine and liq

of Boston, I have a duty to perform
at the coming banquet and on similar
occasions ; the city of Boston desires
that every courtesy should be extend

proper festivities of tho banquet. It
Is customary on similar occasions to

The following particulars are receiv
ed of the Indian outbreak iu Oregon
on Friday morning : News is receiv
ed at Lewiston that the Salmon Riv
er Indians and Joseph's band assem
bled on Camas Prairie, and four
j. wanes nave oeen Kiweu on oaimon
River, near the mouth of White Bird
River. The Indians soon attacked
the settlers on Camas Prairie and
killed benjamin Norton, his wife,
and two or three others, attaoked all
the teanis on the road, and had pos
session of the whole prairie, except
tho town of Mount Idaho, which
they threatened.
On Friday evening a force of 100
troops, twenty friendly Indians, and
several citizeila left Lapwal Garrison,
under command of Colonel Perry, for
Mount Idaho.
Soon alter, news was received, that
Captain James Baker, Samuel Bene
dict, his wife and four children, Har
ry Mason, Henry Eifers, and War
ren's expressman had been killed on
Salmon River ; also, that a pack-train
of orty mules had been attacked near
Cold Sj.rlng, and two whites named
Davenport and Ousley, were killed.
Five half-breed Indians escaped.
( After the arrival of Colonel Perry a
dispatch came through to the effect
that he had arrived at Mt. Idaho on
Saturdny morning, and that the re
ports of those killed wero true. The
Indians had gono to Salmon River,
and the troops wero in pursuit.
Messages from Kamakoi, brought
bj- ifiorau lunnaiS tu ino" geiiC,:
state that twenty-nine whites had
been killed, and that tho whites had
killed White Bird, the chief of the
band, and his family.
Gen. Perry with his small detach
ment of troops, and about 150 volun
teers overlook and had a fight with
the Indians at the head of White
Bird Canon Idaho. The Indians
greatly outnumbering the whites and
being better armed stampeded the lat
ter, killing many and captured their
horses.
The first reports said that men wo
men and childreu were being slaugh
tered. Subsequent reports say that
women and children were spared, and
that no houses were burned.
The disaffected Bavages who may
take the war path, number 2.000, and
can do terrible work, thero being few
soldiers convenient and tho citizens
unarmed.
The Indians began the outbreak by
murdering a white man in revenge
for three Indians that had been mur
dered by whites, as they believed
and as probably true.

Latek, June 17. The commanding
officer at Fort Lapwai, Colonel Perrj'
with his command and some volun
teers engaged tho Indians at White
Bird about daylight. They were
fighting about three hours, and were
repulsed with heavy loss In men and

both missing, and are supposed to be
killed. The people here have a good
fort and have no fear of tne town.
Tho non-treaty Indians commenced

dreaded disease that has been so com
mon throughout our land, known as
the blues or hard times. The article
we have mentioned is speaking of
England, Frauce and Germany, and
the financial troubles they have ex
perienced a few years past. Of Eng
land.'It says the depression she now
suffers succeeded a period of excep
tional and excited prosperity. The
Franco-German war stopped much of
the manufacturing trade of both na
tions ; England filled up the gap;
business flourished with unprecedent
ed success ; faotories reared their
heads on every side ; an undue quan
tity of wealth was consumed in carry
ing on works which wero to pay their
cost in the distant future. The high
profits, the raised wages, led to more
expensive living; and all rejoiced to
gether in the augmented consumption
of wealth. It says the common rate
of interest in England is but one per
cent. This, we should think, would
denote good times ; but not so. The
reason is, their circumstances are such
they cannot make mere out of it.
Thousands of their workmen are out
of employment; poverty aud distress
reign supreme.
Of Germany, it says they become
engaged in a gigiutio war with
Franco. In these modern days the
cost of armies is enormous, far ex
ceeding that of preceding ages. No
more rapidly impoverishing process
can bo conceived than such a war.
That commercial distress should fol
low such a war can create no surprise.
But did not tho indemnity make all
right for Germany? Two hundred
and twenty millions of English
pounds paid by France might seem
enough to lift any peoplo to the sum
mit of prosperity. But it Is not sums
of money which enrich and bestow
welfare and happiness, but what ts
done with it. A large portion of this
gold was applied to making fortifica
tions and other military works. The
German goverraeut was embarrassed
with the excess of this metalllcstock,
and lent much of it to traders and
spectators. An increase of spending
broke out all around ; it was applied
to buying things pleasant and enjoya
ble ; a higher style of living was
adopted ; and then tho evil conse
quences appeared upon tho scene.
And now we turn our eyes to
France. How different and startling
Is the picture which presents itself to-j
our eyes. Here wo were bound to ex
pect the sight of accutesuflering, pov
erty and misery. A fine of unheard
of magnitude had been imposed and
paid. Where could ruin and depres
sion be more naturally looked for?
Yet, what a picture does France offer
to the observer ! The plled-up load of
taxation is borne with ease ; her in
dustry is in full play-; no sense of pov
erty .wol.ghs,loww t be--people:--To-
what was this unlocked for and most
astounding sight due? It was to the
practice of ono of the Very greatest of
economical virtues, she had saved.
Her eight million of peasant proprie
tors had lifted their country out of the
depths of advorsify, by invigorated
energy and reduced consumption.
Now, have we not been treading the
same downward road with England
and Germany? Economy has been a
stranger in our land. He has not had
where to lay his head or place his
foot. How was It here when green
backs were plenty? We voted rail
road bonds, bridge bonds. We bought
costly machinery. In short, anything
that was nice, fashionable aud agree
able, found a ready market among us.
How much like the spendthrift or
prodigal son wo have acted. And
now, if like him, we will content our
selves, and come down as he did, and
feed tho swine for a time, and then
return to our father's house, where
there is bread enough and to spare, or
to strict economyand Industry, which
is near the same thing, tho fatted calf
will be forthcoming, and we will have
a glorious feast. The prinoipal dishes
at this feast will consist of old debts
and mortgages paid off and canceled,
and who i3 thero but what will re
joice ! Thoso thnt expect to appeur at
this feast must have on the proper
uniform or the wedding garment.
Tho men must be dressed in blue-
jeans pants and roundabouts, and a
brown straw hat. And then the la
dies! Shall we have any of them at
this feast? Of course we must. But
they must bo educated. They must
understand the grammar and natural
philosophy of raising chickens, feed
ing pigs, milking cows, &c, &o.
They must be dressed in garments not
made to dazzle tho eye; and crowned
with artificial flowers raised and made
with their own hands. At this feast
the wine of consolation will bo passed
freely around. And our ladies will
sing home, sweet homo, redeemed,
saved from the grasp of tho money
loaner. This will drive the wolf from
your door. This is the patent medi
cine, the healing balm, that will cut
the rope of debt that has bound you
hand and foot, and you can then walk
forth with proud satisfaction that you
are no longer a slave, but a free citi
zen of Nebraska. AH our farmers,
and their ladies, are invited to this
feast; but none will b9 admitted
without having the qualifications and
uniform. Faii; Vikv.

us a sample knife which this same

worthless. Western Rural.
