The Keystone Stat Represented in the
Cabinet The IIainlurr Massacre
A Democratic Army Hayes vs
Tilden Democratic Trickery!!
The Fast Mail Service General
Crook's Safety The Senate a
"Jlreakwater."'
"Washington, IX C, July 19, laTO.
In reerganiziuy his cabinet, the Pres
ident lias been most fortunate, in each
instance of change In securing "the
right man for the right place." The
appointment of Hon. J. Donald Camer
on as Secretary of War, has given to
the Keystone State a representative in
the Cabinet, in the person of one of
her highly gifted sons whose great bus
iness experience and distinguished suc
cess in all his private- enterprises mark
him as being eminently fitted for the
position to which he has been called.
He is truly a representative man of
his State. The President will find him
a safe adviser, an intelligent minister,
and a true friend. Pennsylvania is
complimented l.y the appointment,
while the administration is strength
ened.
The selection of Hon Lot. M. Mer
rill, as Secretary of the Treasury, has
been received with public approbation.
Integrity of character, private and
public, and large experience in official
service point him out as a worthy suc
cessor of that distinguished son of
Maine, the lamented Fesscnden.
The introduction in the House of
Representatives on Saturday last, of
the resolution against the withdrawal
of troops from South Carolina, on ac
count of the maxsacre of the negroes
at Hamburg. S. C, caused a considera
ble commotion in the Democratic
ranks. The subject was brought np
by Representative Smalls, who will b
remembered as the brave pilot who ran
the steamer Planter out of Charleston
harbor in 101 and delivered iter over
to the I. S. Naval forces. The reso lution
was received with roiiu-i.ipu;-ou3
sneers by the Democrats, and Mr.
Cox attempted to reply t llit- remarks
of Mr. Smalls, in support of his resolu
tion, by calling in question the .stand
ing and honesty of the culou d m.-mtx-r
and by giving the old Deimx latie i ll
of "the bloody shirt." Another gentle
man, representing the Hourhoii el-im nt
of Kentucky delivered a panegyric i'p-
on the noblet ?) general who led . he as
sault on the occasion of the Hamburg
trouble, eulogising hini as a man of no
ble ancestry and a chevali; r s-im ur
tt suns rejtrorlte. That expression,
which has mo frequently withm tin; la.it
two weeks been applied to the late
General Custer, is either prostituted
iu its application to the reckU-.is leader
of a band of ntgro luurdeif rs, or it is
unworthy of u.e in conmction with
the memory of the gallant young
general who fell lighting the. hea
then enemies of a civilized Govern
ment. A thorough investigation
of that much-to-be-regret led affair at
at Hamburg will show that the de
tails are even more atrocious and
cold blooded than has been supposed.
The latest feature of the programme
to be followed in the event of the suc
cess of the Democratic party in the
coming contest, is one for placing the
entire army in their control, it is
to be accomplished by placing Gen.
Sherman and Lieut. General Sheridan
on the retired list, thus making their
favorite. Gen. Hancock, the comman
der by virtue of his position as rank
ing Major General of the Army. .. A
very pretty scheme, indeed, but it will
fail of accomplishment through the
failure of its friends to obtain the
power to put it through.
The cry of the opposition for many
days was for Gov. Hayes t send forth
his letter accepting the nomination,
and the intimation was thrown out on
all sides that its delay was caused
through fear and inablity to reconcile
his views with those of the more pro
minent party leaders. The letter came
and it is so consistent, outsj.oken, and
satisfactory to the country generally,
that they are in a worse quandary than
ever, and can now only decry its hon
esty. They fail, however to see any
thing at all singular in the tardiness
of Gov. Tilden in announcing his ac
ceptance and his views on the M.
Louis platform, or anything like policj
in the fact that after an interview
between Tilden and Hendricks, and
with Morrissey and Dorsheimer at
Saratoga, the announcement is made
that Tilden will not publish his letter
for several weeks yet on account of
pressure of other business. It is hard
ly to be supposed that the views of
Tilden could be reconciled with those
of Hendricks in one interview.
The ousting of Mr. Frost from his
seat in the House, and the seating of
the contestant, Mr. Abbott, as Repre
sentative of the 4th District of Massa
chusetts, is acknowledged, even by
the more honest of the Democrats, as
a piece of political trickery, not at all
warranted by the evidence in the case
as presented to the Committee on elec
tions. Mr. Frost will undoubtedly be
returned at the next election by a ma
jority that will place his claim to a
seat beyond dispute.
The people having learned the great
advantage of the fast mail service, are
not likely to appreciate the spirit of
economy of the rresent Democratic
policy, which is about to deprive them
of its benefits. This will compel the
Postmaster General to arrange for
slower and less frequent mails at re
duced rates of compensation to the
carriers.
The assurance received to-day of the
safety cf General Crook and his com
mand affords great relief in all circles.
and it is now certain that with the ad
ditional forces sent to Gen. Terry, he
will ere long be able to properly pun
ish the murderers of our frontiersmen
and soldiers.
The Republican Senate has proven
to be a "breakwater" to the Hood of
misrule, having its rise in the House
of Representatives. The latter body
started out with one main object in
view, and that was to so legislate ns I
to retard, in every possible way, the i
workings of the government. Any i
embarrassment that might result from
their revolutionary schemes were to
be attributed to Republican mal-ad-ministration
of national affairs. The
animus of the Democratic majority
has shown itself in nearly every dav's
proceedings of the House since the t
commencement ot lao present sosion
Assaults upon the private and public
reputation of leading Republicans,
misrepresentation of the ollicial acts
of the several branches of the Nation
al Government, and persistent efforts
to retard the operations of the depart
mental machinery are of daily occur
rence. Where it not for the resistance,
of a Republican Senate and a Republi
can Executive, the revolutionary legis
lative schemes of pardoned rebels
would accomplish what they had fail
ed to secure bv the sword.

MURDER AND ASSASSINATION.
On the 4th of July, at the Centen
nial anniversary of our Independence
at Hamburg, S. C, another Democratic
victory was won. A colored company
of State Militia was assaulted and as
sassinated by Democratic Ku-Klux and
Regulators from the State of Georgia,
and after being taken prisoners, shot
down like dogs. A more cowardly and
dasterdly outrage has no record among
the crimes of the mb century, than
this committed upon our anniversary
day, by the advice of one of our lead
ing state right Democrats, IJatler of
S. C. First of all let us not forget that
Georgia is controled by the Confeder
ates, and gives usually a Democratic
majority of from 40,000 to 100,000.
South Carolina is Republican and gives
usually a Republican majority of from
l-j.000 to 25,000. Now the Regulators
of Georgi.i have pledged themselves
and the Democratic party to attend to
S. C, and force 'enough republicans
from S. C. into the State of Geotgia to
leave S. C. democratic, which will be
shown before we leave the subject, by
th plea for hi? life of and of the mili-
! tiamen. Hamburg, S. C. is a quiet
little village of 500 people, mostly col
ored, situated upon the right bank of
the Savannah river. On the 4th of
July its people wer. celebrating the
anuiwrviry of our Independence, in
like manner wflh the people in every
city, y iliage and hamlet in this broad
land. A company of State Militia was
du'.y organized and equipped by the
Slate of S. ('., were on parade through
the streets, when two drunken Confed
erates, from Augusta. Ga., rode up
and demanded the company to disband
or give way for them to pass through,
after a few moments consideration,
the company of Militia gave way. and
allowed these two "Tilden reformers"
to pass through. Let us ask here, what
would have been done to two negroes
demanding from a company of white
militiamen, wl.at these two white men
demanded of this company of colored
men, would they have allowed them to
pass through open ranks. No never!
they would have been shot down by
the lirst file of men in front, unci would
have marched over their dead bodies
with the entire command. The mat
ter seemed to rest here, until the night
of the bth, when Augusta, Ga., a city
of :50.0-0 people, situated on tin; left
bank of the Pevanah river, turned in
to this quiet villiage some twoor three
thousand of her cut throat desperadoes
and captured this company of State
(S. C.) Militia, and after disarming
tnem.and taking into their possession
the aims and ammunition belonging to
the State of S. (.'., turned their captives
loose to shoot them down as they ran
away, or on their bended knees plead
for their lives, calling their captors
ytAiTKi:. and even promising to go in
to Georgia and remain there. is this
liberty? Is this tempering the winds,
Ac, "political." The Charleston Ncics,
"Confederate," gives the following ac
count :
Then some, who appeared to be lead
ers of the captors, moved olf a little
space ami consulted together. After
a long while it was now after 2
o'clock Sunday morning a voice from
this group called out "ilring Attaway
here; tell him we want to see him."
Attaway, who, it will be remembered,
was a member of the Legislature, a
Count' Commissioner, and a Lieuten
ant in Adams' company, rose and went
forward under guard. After going
about 30 yards over the knoll, and
when within about the same distance
from the bridge, he was ordered to
turn his back, instead of which he fell
to pleading for mercy, saying he had
neer done anything wrong, and would
promise to remove to Georgia and re
main there. He addressed his coptors
as "masters." and begged hard for his
life. A volley of five or six shots w;ts
his only reply, nd he fell a corpse in
the road. Dan Phillips was next call
ed, and disposed of in the same man
ner, and then Albert Minion, a volley
being fired into each. Minion receiv
ed two balls, one striking his head and
rendering him insensible. He was left
for dead, but lived until next morning
when he died from the effects of loss
of blood from a wound in the thigh.
Hamp Stevens was then called ami
told to run. He leaped over a low'fence
at the roadside (as Phillips had done
before him,), and was shot before he
had gone five paces. Stevens and
Phillips fell only a few yards from
each other, and Pomp Curry was next
called. In his own words: "I knew
what was romin' and 1 riz' runnin',
and dashed eiT through the high weeds
at right angles with the course the
others had taken. They shot at me,
and one ball hit mo on the knee, and I
fell. They thought I was killed but I
crawled off as fast as I could through
the weeds, and got into the woods near
by." These the ringleaders, having
been disposed of, the others were next
told to run for their lives, which they
did, when a few shots were fired after
them, which slightly wounded one or
two more. John Thomas, another of
the party, was next discovered in the
custody of a man who was taking him
toward the entrance lo the bridge.
Some one stepped up behind him and
fired a pistol load into his back, the
ball penetrating his liver and bowels,
and indicting a wound of which he
died in Augusta during the next day.
Now this is the class of men that
goes into power under Mr. Tildcn's
election. This is the class Mr. Tilden
proposes to bring to the front to re
form this government with. Does he
and his friends not know, that but for
the Republican party, this would not
to-day be & nation. Does he not know
that President Grant, one of the great
est living defenders of human liberty,
has continually, during his entire ad
ministration, had to protect the Union
men in this very section of our country
by the strong arm of the Government.
He knows it. Every man in thit na
tion knows it. And we predict that
such a verdict will be rendered in No
vember against Mr. Tilden and his
rebel cohorts and in favor of humani
ty and the grand old liberty loving Re
publican party, that will be heralded
over the entire civilized world, that
liberty means what it purports in
America. Let the lovers of a. free and
humane government, with the emblems
of Liberty and Reform upon their ban
ners, rise and buckle on their polilieal
armor, and ivoin this day until No
vember election work faithfully for
the great principles that cost this na
tion such a treasure of money and
many thousands of lives. And let
this viper, which means death to the
defenders of a free government, cloth
ed in the nam'; of "Democracy" be
strangled once again. Then peace
and prosperity will bo brought to the
home, and happiness he found at the
fireside of every family in this brond
land. D.

I had never seen General Custer's
wife when I met bin
at the Union
League Club reception, last winter, nor
himself but once lief ore in my life, and
did not even know he had a wife. Ob
serving, while we were engaged in
conversation, that he smiled toward a
lady who had previously excited my
interest," I said, "General, who is that
lady? do you know her? she lias
such a bright, sweet look: and though
so simply dressed (she wore a plain,
dark silk), is so thoroughly a lady that
I want to know her. Above all, she
looks interested and happy. I wonder
who she is."

That is how I became acquainted
with Mrs. General Cutter, and, indeed
she was a wife to be fond of, and
proud of. Never away from her hus
band, and hor married life was spent
on the frontier, which offered no hard
ships or privations to her which could
be compared to separation from him.
She had the sweetest, truest face, and
her eyes met his with such absolute
trust as thrilled me with pleasure that
was plain to see. She was a Michigan
girl, and had only him; but, "Oh!" she
said, "no one can ever know but I, how
good he is." She had grown quite to
love camp life, which had, she said
many compensations. The principal
one of these was freedom from the
ills and weaknesses which belong to
high civilization. No headaches, no
neuralgia, no nervous prostration, no
pains in the side, or diseases of th li

and in the regions which have never
known kid gloves, or French cooks
everyone wakes well.

Of Cass Co. Sunday School Convention
to Olllcers and Friends of the S. School
Cause in the County.
Dear Friends and Ftllovi Workers;
We hope you have seen the report of
the Convention as contained in the
county papers. We were glad to meet
so large a number, aud our intercourse
was pleasant and profitable.
We regretted that from any cause
you were not permitted to be present
and receive like benefit.
It was the earnestly expressed wish
of the Convention that Sunday Schools
should be organized and sustained in
every school district, so that all the
children and young people may have
the privilege of spending an hour or
two each Lord's Day in reading and
studying the Word of God. The necess
ity for this is apparent.
Where there are no S. Schools our
Youth too often spend the day in ram
bling abroad; wasting the precious
hours; growing up in ignorance of Di
vine things, and forming habits w hich
will be a damage to themselves and the
community. With the view then of
simply forming and strengthening good
habits, we would urgo you in every
place to organize S. Schools at once,
and work up to the greatest possible
efficiency those already existing.
Hut if this lifo were all and nothing
beyond ; if when the body dies there
did not remain a living soul; then you
might neglect this work, take your ease
and let the youth take care of them
selves. 1 5 1 1 1 there is a hereafter; we
have souls to be saved or lost forever.
The Rook of God is given to guide
our feet safely along the path of temp
tations ahd duty here, to a better life
in hcavn. This Hook sets before us a
Saviour, Jesus, who saves "his people
from their sins" and as Here lies on
you the obligation to provide secular
instruction in the day schools for your
children and the youth of your commu
nity, .so there lies on you no less obli
gation to provide that instruction
which will make them wise unto sal
vation. Not the scholars alone, but
yourselves will reap a benefit in extend
ed knowledge of the Word of God, and
an improved religious life, which will
more than repay for labor bestowed.
We urge Parents to attend, when
practicable that the presence of their
Children every Sabbath day may be se
cured. We hope to hear a good report from
every school district in the county at
our Convention next year, if the Lord
permits us to meet again.
Yours in the work of the Lord,
Committee.

In order to obtain a correct idea of
the extent, variety and quality of Amer
ican manufacturers, one nee-Is to visit
the Centennial exposition, where, gath
ered together from all parts of our land,
are exhibits of the character of which
every American may justly be proud.
Excellent, as many of these manufac
tures are, I have been' informed on
what 1 consider good authority, that in
order to make them saleable, it is the
custom of some dealers toexhibit them
under a foreign mark which is conclu
elusive evidence that many of our peo
ple think more of the name than of tho
quality of the material or that the goods
are so nearly alike in quality and finish
that they can easily pass for those of
Kiifooean iri.-iii ii1"actnr. Tlip silica of
TT-vons have achieved a world-wide rep
utation for their fineness of texture and
finish. It would be dillicult indeed for
any nation, especially so young a one
as ours, to excel or even to tjqual them.
It is enough to know that our best
brands approach them so closely that
only the most competent judges can de
termine which is superior. Jlrs. WiJtxe's

Indians, from whom he escaped by
hiding himself in the timber for 24
hours, one Indian followed his trail 9
miles. The hostile Sioux aro believed
to be north of Goose creek forty miles,
and not far from the scene of the lato
massacre on the Little Big Horn. They
have not fired into camp lately, nor
attempted to burn it out, although the
parched condition of the grass renders
this somewhat easy. The command
moved ssven miles north on the day of

foot of the Big IIorn4mountains, where
they will camp until the Fifth cavalry
