a general remark that Dundy is one of

Mr. Beecher made a rpetch in
Brooklyn last Monday night, which is
attracting much attention, it is aid.
In opening be laid down these articles
as his cretd on reconstruction.
First, 'ihe utter deetruci ion of slav
ery, root niA branch; whic'i has been
the fund iinental cause of national dis
cord, treason and war.
Second. The purgation of the
Constru'ion of all influence derived
from slavery, and the purgation of tht?
lawa and civil courts of all custom and
proceedings derived from slavery or
infected with it.
Third. The readjustment of the re
latiou of States bein in the condition
of suspend', d animation.
Fourth. The security, the educa
tion and the enfranchisement of the
negro population, happily now made
free.
Fifth. The re-establishment of
good will and cordiality among alien
ated citizens, the revival of the settle
ment of unity in national life, the re
newal of enterprise, industry and com
nietce, which, like the circulation of
blood in tne body, places the whole na
tion under the influence of the common
central vital life.
Such a creed ought to make Mr.
U -echer a strong advocate of the Con
gressional plan, and kick him ot of
'he Copper-Johnson party if he lives
up to v. But there may be the rub.

From a cravback point of view, Mr.
Bogy has a spotless record. We have
never heard him accused or Deing a
Union man. He never was even sus
pected of lacking in zeal for the "losl

would long aco have obtained for hun

To the Humble Individua1, however
violence of speech does not seem a
fault or an evidence of unbalanced
mind, and the rec-rd of Mr. Logy was
of iise.f a sufficient rocommeudation.

It sterns that we are to have a war
wi h the Utes. Our Denver exchang
es contain notices of au outbreak on
the Porga'oire, and the shipment of
arms to Pueblo; e thought to wait un
til something more definite was re
ceived, but have changed our notion,
and will ive the pubu-a!l we can find
out about the disturbance. The News
says on the authority of Mr. Hayden
of Pueblo, that tb.3 Tabagu iche Utes
hue kili-d fitt-en persons and made
prisoners of one family, and that the
trout.lr-s thus far have been confined to
the Purgatoire. The Gazette publish
es a letter from Mr. Hayden of Pur
ol, to Mr. H. M . Porter of Denver,
stating that the Utfc Indians are com
muting fearful dt-predaJon through
out the country, s'ealins: stuk, killing
men. &.c. Later arrivals from the
southern portion of the Territory state
that the disturbance bgun in the
neighborhood of Triuidad, the coun'y
seat of Los Aminos county. That it
lommenced by the Indians helping
themselves to the contents of a corn
field, at which the owner demurred,
and a rencontre ensued. . Information
having been sent to Fort Garland, a
detatihinent of troops under Col. Al
exander, went to the rescue and reach
ed the scene just in time t. wnne.-s the
attack of a ranche by the Indians, lie
had a fight with them on the Purg i

claims of the United States for dama

bama The appoititment of an inler-n-uional
commis-inn having a power or
settlement, and charged to deliberate
on the rights and du'ies of neutrals in
time of war, is recommended The
following is the most important passage
from the article: "As every one
knows, the Alabama would never have
got to sea but for the opportune illness
of the Queen's Advocate; and this con
siiseraiion, though it may not clear the
Government from the alledged neglect,
dees, in 30m- d-gree, affect the moral
aspect of the case The loss sustained
by American commerce in cou-equence
may be damnum sine injuria, and
therefore no ground for legal action;
and yet it may be a wise act of cour
tesy to waive the benefit of this plea.
The time has come when such a con
cession is no longer open to miscon
struction, and would be accepted py the
United States as a spontaneous act of
good will At all events, there can be
nothing derogatory to the honor of
England in offering to submit her neu
trtilt'y laws, together with those of the
United States, to revision by a mixed
commission. No country has more to

so," replied the sand hiller, wriggling

It is too late in the season to talii i-r
write about a County Fair fr tin
year; but, from past experience, it is
just about the right time to commence
saying- something m favor of having
one next year. We have the best ag
ricultural county in th- T rnte-ry,
where the greatest quantities and the
largest-specimens of ail kinds of pro
duce are raised, we have the most
Ii r if t y farmers, the largest number ot
fine stock, the best fruit; and in fac.
we have the banner county of Nebras
ka, and yet we have no County Fair
We urge upon our farmers the neces
sity, as well a the pleasure, of having
a public exhibition of bur choicest pro
ducts. It assists inatersally tn "stirnti
lating the desire to improve, and will
do more towards keeping up our repu
tation as the banner county than all
others. Let this matter be agitated
by every person in Cass county, and let
us have suih a Fair next Fall as will
do credit to our thrifty and energetic
arriculurists.
