Views of "Boss" Sheperd as to Hi Chances
for the Presidential Nomination in 1880.
[Special Telegram to the Globe I
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 6.Ex-Gov. Sheperd, of
Washington, who has been here superintending
the departure of the yellow fever relief boat,
has been interviewed concerning Grant's
chances for the Presidency. The Boss says the
Grant movement is strongei West than East,
though there is a good deal of it over the coun
try. He knows Grant, if not seeking the
nomination, might be prevailed upon to accept
it it was the unanimous decree ot the Repub
lican party. The Republicans, said Sheperd,
believe Grant is a rallying point, that they have
been sold out by Hayes, and Grant is their only
salvation. I believe Grant will be the
unanimous choice of the Republican National
convention in 1880 Fully ninty-nine out ot
every 100 Republicans are disgusted with Hayes,
and those who indorse him and his policy are
like flies on a wheel No administration will
stand higher than Grants' when the accounts
are made and a sober judgment prevails.
Do you believe any Democrat will support
Grant?
1 don't doubt it. Several Democratic Con
gressmen from the Noitnwest have told me that
they would support Grant if their party sold
out to the Gieenbackers. Grant would have
the support of a great many Democrats if the
issue was made between hard and soft money,
or say between Grant and Butler.

Preston (Fillmore county) Republican,
Oct. 3 The barley crop of Minn sota is esti
mated at half a million bushels.
Morris (Stevens county) Tribune, Oct. 3
Wheat is beginning to move more freely
than heretofore. There is yet considerable
plowing to be done.
A letter from Perham says that wheat is
coming in lively, the receipts reaching from
3,000 to 4,000 bnshels daily. The greater
part of the threshing is done, but plowing
has not commenced, owing to the dry con
dition of the ground.
St. Chailes (Winona county) Umon, Oct.
2 Farmers who have their gram securely
stacked are in no hurry to thresh, owing
pditly to the extremely low price of wheat
and partly to the fact that early plowing
pays best the long run. We imagine that
about all the plowing will be completed dur
ing the month of October, except by a few
laggards.
Monticello (Wright county) Times, Oct. 3
Some fields of sorghum have ocen killed by
the frost, and judging from appearances we
should say that the syrup manufac
tured fiom such cane will be
of an inferior quality, if not alto
gether worthless. Only a small
portion of the farmers have their threshing
done as yet, and we are of the opinion that
those who are so unfortunate as to have
stacks of mowed grain will find their loss by
this delay has been no small sum.
Le Snenr Sentinel, Oct. 3: The quantity
of molasses or syrup being manufactured
this county from sorghum and amber cane,
chiefly of the latter, is astonishing. In many
neighborhoods nearly every farmer has raised
from a quarter to an acre of cane, and the
yield of syrup this year ranges from 150 to
200 gallons per acre. In the neighborhood
o. the Sharon post-office there are fonr 01
five cane mills that have been at work for
about three weeks past grinding, recently
during the night as well as the day, and turn
ing ont from fifty one hundred gallons every
twenty-four hours and they have work for
several weeks to come. At Cleveland there
are three mills that have been running for
about three weeks, and we learn that the one
owned by Wm. Lancaster has been turning

Great effort is made in certain interested
quarters to deaden the force of these charges
by attributing them to the politics of the

the Democratic party, and therefore his
motive in moving this investigation must
have something in it sinister to the Repub
lican. It will strike an impartial observer
as somewhat singular that wherever a 1 mg

the Republican party commence
immediately to cry out, "yoi're another."
Is that organization the father of all the
rings that plunder the people? We hope not
indeed we know it is not. Democrats in
dividually are no more and no lesB incor
ruptible than Republicans. Men of both
parties do bad things, and enter into unlaw

fer without a valuable consideration the
property of their neighbor from his pockets
to theirs. But there should be, and are

to put them down. And to put them down
with the strong hand.
This question of frauds in the grading of

Undoubted Testimony that free American
Negroea Have Been Run to Cuba, and
Are Now Held There in forced Servitude
on Sugar Plantation*.
l'",hlC*Sc'
!Bn. I
$In the special telegraphic dispatches to
the Times published yesterday, appears the
statement that the state department has had
its attention celled to the fact that there are
free American negroes kidnapped from -the
of captivity and servitude on plantations in
the island of Cuba.
Fernado L. de Queralta, at present in the
United States, formerly of Cuba, and who
was an officer in the union army during the
rebellion in the United States, affirms an
affidavit, sworn to before a United States
commissioner for the Southern district of
Florida, that, when a colonel the liberal or
revolutionary army of Cuba, he found a
colored man not acquainted with the lan
guage, his native tongue being English. That
upon questioning him the colored man told
him that he had formerly been a slave on a
plantation called Fourney place, near New
"Orleans, La that he was Jaken to Cutia with
four others in 1866, and sent up the coun
try that since that time to the present he
and others have been working as slaves
ON SUOAB PLANTATIONS,
labor which they are compelled to undergo,
and for which they have never received any
remuneration whatever.
Col. Queralta, whose character for veraci
ty is vouched for by no less authority than
Gen. Sherman, further says, under oath,
that at the plantation of a cer am Mr O'Cal
laghan, in Cuba, there are three native
American negroes, who could not speak the
language, and who admitted that they were
not native to Cuba, and the affiant adds that
he has every reason to believe that there
are numbers of free American ne
groes who have been kidnapped from South
ern plantations, and rushed through South
ern ports just before the close of the war,
and even since the war, and that these ne
groes have been sold into slavery Cuba, or
are chartered by cruel owners and overseers
as slaves on the plantations there.
Allhosorb. it seems almost incredible that
such atrocities o^ald hav been committed,
and that there are now hundreds of free
American negroes who have been forced
into an endless and painful captivity
Cuba, a country whose arbitrary and cruel
institutions are the very opposite of the in
stitutions of their own free land, sufficient
evidence has come to light, and has indeed
been gathered by Tones reporters this
very city to prove these assertions to be
facts, and has revealed the truth of at least
one wholesale kidnapping infamy of the
sort, to which the attention of the State de
partment was called some time since, but
with no effect.
In view of
THE STABTLING FACTS
disclosed by the story, the undoubted verac
ity and personal knowledge of the gentle
man who furnishes certain clues to the mat
ter, and the fact that the whole case in full,
with all incidentals bearing upon it, and
with explicit information as to where and
how to find the criminals and bring them to
punishment, was laid before the btate de
partment some time since, the apathy and
indifference of that department of the gov
ernment to the cruel outrage of
which it was thus informed can be attributed
only to sinister motives or private inter
est. In the opinion of those from whom
the Times obtained some of its information,
it was because the official at the head of the
State department has, like Seward of old,
shown a very favorable consideration to all
matters in which the Spanish interest was
involved, and further, because the lady who
owned the slaves of which the story treats
had, just about the time the matter was laid
before the State depaitment, married an army
official, and their friends possibly did not
wish to create an unpleasant notoriety
about it.
Whether such reasons amounted to any
thing or not no one can say, possibly not,
but certain it is that reliable parties, them
selves formeily in the government service,
and with every opportunity of knowing the
facts, did lay a case before
TBT STATE DEPABTMENT,
involving the fretnlom an life of no less
than at least 100 freed American negroes
condemned to captivity in Cuba through the
rapacity and cruely of a man who forcibly
shipped them through Galveston just before
the close of the war, and now is completely
ignored by the State department, although
the clues were given which would have res
cued the negroes, and would yet rescue them,
or the survivors and their children, and
bring their oppressors to the punishment
they so richly deserve.
The wife of the late illustrious
SENATOB STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS
was before her marriage to the "Little
Giant," a fascinating widow of North Caro
lina. At the time of her maniage to
llllmois' gifted son she owned a large prop
erty at the South, on which were 100 to 150
negroes. When the war broke out these
negroes were sent upon an unimproved
plantation near Greenville, Miss to work
on shares between their owner and the pro
prietor of the land, as was the common cus
tom at the time. The agreement was that
after two years' work the owner of the
negroes was to have half of the
cotton yield. The overseer of these
colored men was a selfish, cruel,
and, it is said, a grossly dishonest man, and
when the war had reached its climax, and
federal troops were raiding the stronghold
of the South, he reported to the Douglas
family that the negroes had died, fled, and
were all lost to the estate. So far from this
being the case, the fact was the man rail
roaded his unfortunate victims to Galveston,
then a rebel port, and forcibly kidnapping
them there, the negroes were put on board a
schooner and shipped to Cuba, where the
remainder of them now are.
After the war the Douglas heirs sued the
United States on a claim for $240,000 for
damages for the cotton alleged to have been
destroyed on the Greenville plantation. The
suit was tried, or at least commenced some
tune ago Washington, and the overseer
who had first plundered the iougla estate
of the negroes, as it is alleged, and who had
sold or chartered them into slavery in Cuba,
had the audacity to return to Washington,
AS* A WITNESS
for the Douglas claimants, and against the
United States, the case arising from the
cotton claim.
Then it was that the government officers
employed in the case, and who had learned
of all the facts in Greenville and vicinity,
prepared a statement for the government and
laid it before the State department. The ar
rest of the man for kidnapping was emphat
ically urged, as through his agency and the
consular service the whereabouts of these
