committee.
Point, July 21.18fW. By order of
ALEXANDER HUGHES. Ch'n.
There are several candidates for the
position of United States senator from
Wisconsin, in place of Senator Cameron.
The present incumbent would like to be
returned, and Bos*s Keyes, Philetus Saw
yer, J. B. Cassoday and Congressman
Williams each have an Anxious eye upon
the place.
The political shape of northern Dako
ta is outlined as follows by the Fargo
Argus:
Cass, Barnes, Stutsman and Pembaaa counties
may be set down solid for Marshal Raymond
leyond peradventure. Grand Porks county will
not instruct, but her delegation will be largely
UU(i AltBfA UVIji UUII UC1 UClVKaMVU Hill MV
for Capt. Raymond, with perhaps & second
choice for Pettigrew. Burleigh county, always
uncertain, will more than likely Split up, but
favors the gallant marshal. Trail county is
uncertain, will more than
favors the gallant marsh. ..
claimed by the marshal's friends, and will more
than likely be solid for hiin. Richland county,
with her one vote, will be solid for Judge Ben
nett, and that is the extent of the judge's sup
port north of the forty-sixth, so far as advised.
The first comptroller of the treasury
has directed that a list be made of re
ceivers of public money at laud offices
who have gone out of office without
squaring accounts. He proposes to have
them sued and the money collected at
once in all cases. The amount involved
cannot be large, because they are not al
lowed to keep over $1,000 out of the de
pository at the end of each month, sc
that great deficits such as used to hap
pen occasionally are not now possible.
The Memphis Avalanche publishes
letter from one of its townsmen which is
good as a starter for campaign work
in the south. It reads as follows:
The fact is, before we can expect the prosperi
ty of the good old days before the war in the
south, we must have the same homogeneity of
publio sentiment. As regards questions relatinp
to the negro, we must have but one party, am
that the democratic party. White men who dare
to avow themselves here as republicans should
be promptly branded as
the bitter and malignant
enemies of the south. The name of every north
ern man who, like Eaton and Bigelow, presumes
in this community to aspire to office through
republican votes, should be saturated with,
stench. We can spare all such, and woald cau
tion such as these who think of coming south to
be careful to keep away.
You, Mr. Editor, must again hang out your
•mall-pox flag and rid our community of such
vermin.
You may think me a little bold in using such
language upon the anniversary of our flight
from the yellow fever in 1879. The north, to be
sure, sent us some money, but we scorn the im
putation of beggary. The north but returned a
little of the money it stole from us during the
war.
-No. Rir, we must put an end forever to this
shameless effrontery of northern men or repub
licans aspiring to office in the south. They must
keep back seats, and very quiet ones, or get out.
1 was glad to see you let your correspondents
The whole lot mnst be rendered infamous and
odious.
AB for the negroes, let them amuse themselves,
if they will, by voting the radical ticket. We
have the count.
There is a long editorial article in the
Deadwood Press of July 29th all about a
proposition for some action by the terri
torial republican convention which shall
define the duties and powers of the cen
tral committee. This dissertation was
induced by the late attempt of a citizen
ot Dakota to call a convention of his own
without any meeting of the committee
and upon this special point the Press
says:
It was bad business for the republican party
in a certain sense not that the Press acknowl
edges, concedes or supposes for an instant that
Pettigrew was not justified and sustained in his
action, hut because it has bred ill feeling on
both sif/cs.
If it was bad business and has bred ill
feeling then how does it occur that Pet
tigrew is justified and sustained in it
If he committed an honorable and ac
ceptable act what need is there for any
defence thereof in the columns of the
newspaper which is urging his claims
The Press is at heart a democratic
newspaper, through the predelictions of
the men who own it, and has no authority
to suggest any course of action to a
republican convention. But as it is for
the present giving aid and comfort to a
nominal republican, there may be those
who will give some heed to its utterances.
The Press says:
It appears
to the Press that some action should
be taken in the convention defining the powers
and duties of the central committee so far an
those duties may hinge upon or be influenced
by any difference in opinion regarding them.
Its motive is to conjure up an excuse
for the recent irregular action of Mr.
Pettigrew by making it appear that the
powers and duties of the committee are
not well defined and that any man with
an eye on a seat in congress would be
liable to perpetrate just such "an inexcu
sable act of stupidity. There is nothing
clearer than the powers and duties of
the committee. As a committee it is
expected to call conventions and
apportion the districts' and to
agree upon the plaff of li
campaign, to be earned' out by ifs execu
tive officer, the chairman. Custom has
established the duties of all party com-
mittecs and a man who is not well enough
informed to understand tliem is not
qualified for the position of a politician.
We cannot see that there is any need for
instructions from the convention Upon
this point, unless it be to enunciate dis
approval of the triok instituted by Mr.
Pettigrew. It is not in any sense a ben
efit to the party to possess an individual
who will endeavor to destroy it in the
hope that he may profit by such ajconrse.
There is but one way to call a conven
tion. This the Press knows full well and
it knows also that any instructions which
the convention might give to the central
committee would simply be the result of
an effort to sugar the work of a trickster
who sought to gain absolute possession
of the party. What would have been the
effect upon the national party had Mr.
Blaine or Mr. Sherman, or General Grant
gone from state to state with a ready
made convention call, procured signa
tures thereto from members of the com
mittee and promulgated it as the call of
the committee for a national convention?
The party would have very quickly placed
its foot upon suclijirevolutionary proceed
ing. National convention, and the state
conventions do not deem it necessary to
instruct their committees as to their
specific line of action. They make it a
point, however, to procure men of sense
and honesty as members of their com
mittees and take it for granted that they
understand what their duties are.
CAMPAIGNING IN GEORGIA.

Special Correspondence Chicago lnter-Occan.
An outrage after the methods and iu tho
spirit of Kn Kluxism lias just been per
petrated iu Georgia that will send a
shudder of horror over a contiuent.
Twenty miles from Atlanta, near the
village of Jonesboro, lives Joe Thomp
son, an old an decrepit negro. Kis cabin
rude hut about twelve feet square,
stands a few hundred yards from tho
public road, in the edge of a cotton field
that he tills. He is known in the com
munity as poor, honest, ignorant, aud
inoffending negro. Night before last he
and his family—a wife, son, married
daughter and her two children —huddled
themselves together within the narrow
limits of their rude' home for a night's
rest,as unsuspicious of harm as they were
innocent of wrong. About midnight fif
teen or twenty men, with painted faces
lit up by lurid light of the torches they
bore, stole upon the hut, and, with de
moniac yells, broke down the door and
tore a log from the side of the house.
The inmates started up in alarm. Four
men rushed in, seized the old man by the
legs and arms and with the threat, "G-d
you, we came here to give you a
good beating," were carrying him out of
doors. As many more had seized his son.
All this was but the work of a few mo
monts. In the meantime the daughter
started up from the bed, where she was
sleeping between her two children, but
a bullet went crashing through her
brain and she sank back lifeless, her
warm blood spirting in her children's
faces.
The old man was borne out of doors
and held by four men, while a fifth ad
ministered the lash, lacerating his body
from head to foot, and leaving him al
most lifeless. At the same time another
detachment of the fiends was whipping
his son, but, not satisfied with that, one
of them ended the torture by putting a
bullet through his body from side to side.
Then these devils in human form, leav
ing their bleeding victims lying on the
ground, re-entered the house to complete
ipS'
work was now done. Father and son,
the one bleeding from the lash, the other
fatally wounded, were left lying iu the
field mother and daughter, the one suf
fering the torments of death, the other
lying dead between her children, were
left in their beds. The mob returned to
their homes, firing into the house of a
neighboring negro on their way,
Yesterday your correspondent visited
Joe Thompson's home. About the broken
door, of his cabin sat a dozen negro
women, silent and tearful, their hands
plying the needles upon a shroud for the
murdered woman within. Twice as many
negro men were scattered here and there
around the hut, their deep-felt sympathy
and terror written in their faces in away
that no words can express. Within, in
the one small room of the cabin, lay the
dead and wounded, their unchanged
clothing still saturated with blood—the
murdered daughter, with her two child
ren weeping at her bedside, the wounded
son moaning in grief and pain, the beaten
mother and the aged father, with cloth
ing dyed in blood. With tears in his
eyes, Joe Thompson told me of his
wrongs and his sufferings. Sickening,
horrible testimony of the truth of his
story lay thereon all sides of him. About
a year ago, it seems, he and his family
were employed on the plantation of Jno.
Gray, in Fayette county. Gray accused
Thompson's son, now lying there dying
from his wounds, of the theft of a plow,
and, taking justice into his own hands,
administered a whipping to him in the
cotton fields. The negro had Gray ar
rested for assault and battery. So clear
was the testimony against him, and so
conclusive the evidence that the negro
was innocent of the theft, that Gray was
found guilty and fined 8100. Thompson,
now intimidated by Gray's threats
against his life, hastened to tieo from the
county, and soon after settled near Jones
boro, where the outrage of which I have
written was perpetrated. This happened
a year ago, aud now Gray (for Thompson
swears that he recognized him as one of
the assailants) assembles a crowd of fif
teen men, and travels by night twenty
miles for the sole purpose of murdering
inoffensive women and of whipping his
so-called offending meu. What a traves
ty upon the civilization of the nineteenth
century, and the boasted equal rights of
our republic!
John Gray and two of his supposed
accomplices have been arrested an in
dignation meeting lias been held by the
citizens of Jonesboro a reward of $250
has been offered for the apprehension of
the murderers. But of what significance
is this Nothing. Outrages as horrible
as this have been perpetrated upon neg
roes iu Georgia before. Indignation
meetings have followed, rewards been
offered, but for what? Simply that the
reports of these outrages may be sent
abroad teraiered by a semblance of jus
tice. Seldom, indeed, does it occur that
the murderers of negroes in the manner
described above, are ever s-.entenced be
fore a court of justice in this locality.
As to the nature of the mob at Jones
boro, the facts are as follows: Ten white
men had been arrested for complicity in
the outrage upon the negro Thompson's
family. The arrested were all residents
of Fayette county. Yesterday an armed
mob of whites arrived in Jonesboro from
Fayette county and demanded the re
lease of the prisoners. Their demand
was not complied with. A company of
fifty armed citizens were placed as a
guard around the jail, and a request for
warded to Governor Colquitt to dispatch
military immediately to the scene. Last
night Governor Colquitt, escorted by the
Gate City guards, repaired to the aoene,
and without a eonfliot returned to Atlan
ta this morning, bringing the ten prison
ers with them. No negroes, as stated in
my letter
thiB
mooring, have been impli­
cated in the riot. C. M. 1}.
APPORTIONMENT FOR CONGRESS.
By the constitution of the United
States the ratio of representation in con
gress in 1789 was fixed at 30,000, and the
number of representatives 65. Under
the census of 1793 the ratio was 33,000,
and the number of representatives 105.
Under the census in 1803 the ratio re
maiued 33,000, and the number of repre
sentatives was 141. Under the third
census in 1813 the ratio was 35,000, and
the number of representatives 181. Un
der the fourth census in 1823 the ratio
was 40,000, and the number of represen
213. Under the fifth census in 1833 the
ratio was 47,700, and the number of rep
resentatives 240. Under the sixth census
in 1843 the ratio was 70,G80, and the
number ot representatives 223. Under
the seventh census in 1853 the ratio was
93,423, und the number of representa
tives '237. Under the eighth census of
1863 the ratio was 127,381 and the num
ber of representatives 243. Under the
ninth census in 1873 the ratio was 131,425
and the number of representatives 293.
As this is a subject always within the dis
cretion of congress, the ratio may be in
creased or diminished by any new appor
tionment.
NO INSULT INTENDED.
Washington, Aug. 3.—At the cabinet
meeting to-day the Spanish difficulties
were referred to, but in consequence of
the statement mado by Commodore Jef
fers, representing the navy department,
that the arrival of Admiral Wyman was
expected within the next twenty-four
hours with full details of his recent in
vestigation, consideration of the subject
was postponed.
Admiral Wyman, who recently pro
ceeded to Santiago de Cuba to investi
gate the alleged indignities offered the
American flag in Cuba waters bv the
Spanish gunboat Canto, reached Wash
ington this afternoon. After calling up
on Commodore Jellers, acting secretary
of the navy, the admiral visited Secretary
Evarts and explained to him in detail
the position of the Canto at the time ot
the interruption of the American schoon
ers Merritt aud Newcombe, as laid down
upon the charts prepared by the officers
of the Canto. Admiral Wyman retracts
the statement made iu his reporlf that
the Spanish authorities made no secret
of the matter, but freely extended to
him the privilege of examining the
report of the commander of the Canto
and unequivocally -disavowed any in
tentional insult to our tlag or the com
mission of any act at variance with the
usages of civilized countries.
MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
Havana, Aug. 3.—Advices from the
City of Mexico to July 27, say: Disor
deis and revolts have been reported re
cently from various parts of the republic
though inspiring no serious fears. The
troubles continne, notwithstanding the
assertion that all was quiet. The oppo
sition, enraged at Gen. Ganzales' success,
calls President Diaz a bloody deljot,
and predicts that Gonzales will be
worse one. The situation of the country
is confused and undefined. President
Diaz has called Gen. Gonzales to the
capital. The late disorders at Mazatlan
were serious. A regular battle was fought
at Villa Union between five hundred
pronoiinciados, with four canons, with
Gen. Varnerez at their head, and two
hundred and fifty government troops,
under command of Col. Beyes. The kill
ed on both sides numbered one hundred,
The rebels retreated, leaving two of their
cannon. Col. Reyes was following them
up. President Diaz lias created Col,
Jteyes a brigadier general as a reward
for his victory. The permanent com
mission ot congress has dedicated two
sessions to tho Guan Juato occurrence
and the firing upon Gen. Gonzales. The
true significance of the latter is as yet
undisclosed.
The commission appointed by Presi
dent Diaz to propose a project of law for
the liquidation, consolidation and pay
ment of interest upon the public debt,
has rendered a report, saying that the
arrangement of the debt requires first,
the augmentation of the resources of the
government. Furthermore, the commis
sion, considering the difficulty and seri
ousness of its charge, asked for detailed
instructions from the executive. Presi
dent Diaz, in answer, gave the commis
sion ample facilities, merely demanding
that the project of law be feasible.
President Diaz unveiled, July 18tli,
monument to the memory of the late
President Benito Juarez.
Notwithstanding the excessive heat,
there is no yellow fever at Vera Bruz.

ty Cannot Prevail.
Albany Journal.
The least well informed democrats in
sist that they are sure to carry the state
in November if Tammany is recoucilled
and there is here and there a timid re
publican who can't quite see how such a
calamity is to be averted. We have a
word or two and a few figures for both
these classes—woids aitd figures which
if duly weighed, will bring discomfort
to the one and consolation 4o the other.
The Tammany bolt last fall went no
farther than the governor. On all the
other candidates both factions were cor
dially united, and the ticket received the
full vote of the whole party. We make
no allusion to the state engineer and
surveyor, because the republican candid
ate ran far behind his associates on ac
count of the credence unfortunately giv
en to unfounded slanders persistently
urged against him.
The vote for ttie candidates upon whom
there was division is the only true test of
the strength of the opposing parties.
The vote is subjoined:

Tho democracy never nominated a
more popular list of candidates. Mr.
Potter was a universal favorite. He re
ceived the full vote of his party and a
great many republican votes besides.
The gentlemen associated with him were
equally unexceptionable and received an
equally cordial support. But they were
all beaten by a square party vote.'
The republican majorities were small
certainly, but largo enough to show
that the political character of the
state did not then and does not now de
pend upon Tammany disail'eetion. All
these republican candidates were clected
in spite ot the united vote of the two dem
ocratic factions, and what was done then
can be done now.

Cleveland, Aug. 3.—Gen. Garfield loft

and Gen. Streiglit of Indiuiia. The par
ty went to Bufialo, where they will wait
over one train, then go to Now York and
attend the conference of the national re

men of that party, including prominent
journalists.
Buffalo, Aug. 3.—Gen. Garfield receiv
ed a grand ovation from the republicans
of this city on his arrival this evening.
Gen. Garfield, at the conlusion of the
procession spoke as follows:
Pellow Citizens: The spectacle I have
witnessed in your city to-night is far
grauder than any pageantry that can be
created by anything except the enthusi
asm and ideas and faith of men embark
ed in tho great and worthy canse. It does
not mean any man in the world. It
means your faith, your hope, your pur
pose. So far us I iu any sense represent
these, I accept your congratulations
with thanks, and I give you all that is
best in my miud, simply for your mag
nificent demonstration. I am passing
up through your city and fojyi few hours
stopping, not to discuss politics, nor to
make speeches, but I stopped this mo
ment long enough to cognize your
great meeting ami great greeting,' and
thank you for it with all my heart..
Prolonged applause followed tho gen
eral's speech, which was'followed by
short speeches by Hon. Ben Harrison
aud Messrs. Mckinley and Conger.
At the conclusion of tho speeches Gen.
Garfield appeared on the iloor of the
hotel, and shook hands with those
present.
Erie, l'a., Aug. 3.—About. 2.500 people
assembled at the depot to welcome (Jen.
Garfield and party. They were received
with music,.liring of cannon, and other
demonstrations of delight. A stage had
been erected a short distance from the
depot, to which the party was conducted.
Gen. Garfield briefly thanked the crowd
for the cordial reception, and introduced
Hon. 0.1). Conger of Michigan, who
spoke about ten minutes. Gen. Bonj.
arrison of Indiana was about to make
a speech when the depot bell rang for
departure, and he simply said, "We are
advised that the-train on which we are
traveling is about to start and speech
making must be deferred for the pres
ent, as Gen. Garfield is a man who never
gets left."
THE PUBLIC DEBT.
Washington, Aug. 2.—From the public
debt statement, prepared at the treasury
to-day, it is learned that the reduction
of the debt during July amounted to
S5.5U0,(XX). This, notwithstanding July,
is the first month of the fiscal year, and
large appropriations become immedi
ately available. The receipts to-day
were §1,250.000. The rapid reduction of
the debt is not owing to diminished ex
penditures but to the extraordinary in
crease in the revenue.
