Tbe Knlptitir Spring-" IHplomat Explains
Jllinneir and hi MinmIou.
Drom the JT. T. Tribune of to day.
General Rosecrans, the hero of Murfreesboro',
and more recently the lion of White Sulphur
Springs, ha lor two dajs past been staying at
the Aitor House. Frtn tbe fact that General
Rorecraus has just fulfilled what the cognoscenti
deem an important minion, he has been well
looked alter Iti New York, and a decree ot curi
osity evinced with regard to his political princi
ple, and bis opinion' on mooted points affecting
the national canvas', In com prison Wllh his
ef-tiniated iuflucnce with the people.
Teoterday a 'Irtbune reporter called npon th9
General at the Astor House, and was courte
ously received. General Kosecrans is a medium
sized, raiher Btouily built man, of foitv years,
or thereabouts, with a large head, a very
pleasant lace, beaiina- well in iront a largo
Roman nose, a moderately -high narrow fore
heal, and short brown hair. He was dressed In
a suit of Dlue flannel. He mlebt easily be taken
for a navigator, the slight disagreement between
the lefts irora the knee to tbe ankle favoring the
mistake. Few people would put him down lor
the commander ot an army. From the begin
ting of tbe conversation with General Hose
c rail s be strict lv kept to the diplomatic style of
n caning as little as possible in everything that
besa'd.
epeaklngof the manifesto said to have been
elened by tbe Kebel leaders to submit to tbe
Southern people, the General den ed the exist
ed ce ot tbe document, and said that a great deal
iiad been irjcorrectly state! concerning his con
nection witb the bulphur Spring Mission.
Reporter What do yon think. General, of the
Tribune's article of this morning In reference to
you?
General Roeecrans I like It very well, but
there are niany things in it that are incorrect,
and that Mr. Greeley would be sorry for If he
knew all. I went to meet the Southern leaden
for the god ot tbe country. I can't particu
laiize, but there is much that is incorrect in tbe
article. I intended my card to explain my mis
bion and its results as lar as I thought proper to
make public now.
Reporter Was there nothing deBnlte said in
the Springs Conference, no course of action pro
posed lor the Southern people f
General Rosecrans I haven't yet determined
what to place bs'ore the public. There was
much that was (aid there that the public shall
know when I have determined the proper time
for its publics ion.
Reporter- Do you think. General, that the
Southern leaders will devote themselves to tbe
task ol restoring proaperity under the working
of the Reconstruction acts?
General Ro'ecrans That I don't clearly see.
I can't say. It would be a good thing it tbe
Southern leaders could be got to work ioetber
beneficently. It is they who are chiefly inte
rested in the duty of restoring prosperity.
R- perter They don't seem inclined to work
tinder the Reconstruction acts now?
General Rosecrans Mo. Kvents don't seem
to point that way. Tbe snprosperous couditlon
of the country is due to tbe instability of politi
cal parties. The peoo'e bave lost confidence.
Old questions that caused the war should never
have been brought up again lor discussion.
Alter tbe settlement of a quarrel recrimination
should be avoided. The good class of Southern
ers will educate and tralti the ueeroes. It is the
fioor class ot Southern whites who are brought
nto direct antagon'em with the negroes. Now,
tbe utmost care should be used to keep down
tbe passions ot tbe people. A war of races may
be ebsily brought about, and th's would be far
more terrible than au organized war. It would
be a war of assassination. Tbe South is now
like a pj ram id standing on its point. It requires
force on all tides to keep it in position. Tbe
means to be used tor bringing about peace don't
no seem clear to me; but make me Dictator,
and I'll rind means in ten days.
Reporter General, have you ever considered
tbe question of the payment of tbe Government
bouob?
General Kosecrans No. This, however, Is
certa'n. We have the richest country in the
world, and our boud, instead of being the
loweot, should be the highest in the market.
The thing wanted now is to rind which way to
turn tbe water to run the mills best, and that's
for Mr. Greeley to rind. I sympathize as much
with the negro as Mr. Greeley, or rather iu
comparuon, for I doo't suppose I bave tbe sa-ne
capacity lor leeliwg for them; still I feel inte
rested in their welfare.
In recpouse to the reporter's query as to what
he iho iL'bt of General Graut's cbances of elec
tion, General Rosecrans said he hadn't "the
f-lightest Idea."
A. II. STEPHENS.
Ilia View on the Fourteenth Amend
mtut.
The Augusta (Oa.) Vonalilutionalist of August
27 has tbe lollowlug:
It has been stated, from time to time, In radi
cal journals. 'orih and South, that Hon. Alex
ander U. Stephens, favored the fourteenth
amendment, and urged its passage by tbe so
called Legislature ot Georgia. As this assertion
has still possession of the public mind, by radical
direction, we deem it opportuue to correct such
wrong impressions as may be drawn from broad
and partisan assertions. This correction can be
all tbe better made by presenting an exact
account of Mr. Stephens' position with regard to
this vexed question.
It is true that Mr. Stephens, as a matter of
policy, lavored the adoption ot the amendment
by the radicals. It is not true that he wished
the Democrats to assist in its passage by active
participaiion. It is utterly untrue that he either
advtted or favored its adoptloa on its merit.
On tbe contrary, he considered the act itselt
null and void, and stated more tbau ouce,
opeuly, that be ' hoped no Democrat would
vote tor it; BBd if he were in tbe Legislature,
and his vote would defeat it, or by not voting,
permit It to pass, he would not vote at all.'
As the case then stood, it seemed to him best
for the State and the whole country that it should
pass, the radicals having tbe exclusive respon
sibility of its passage.
Here are some of the reasons leading to this
coicluslou:
1. The vote of Georgia at that time could not
aflect the real merits of the question one way or
another, as tbree-lourths of the States had
al reaily adopted it.
2. By its adoptiou we could get rid of the
military government and military arrests. At
that particular juncture this riddance was a
matter of some Importance.
3. By Its adoption, we might, if the election
was left to tbe people, cast the nine electoral
voles of Georgia lor bevmour and Blair, and
thus essfntially aid in brnging into power a
party which would hold the whole matter as
Air. h'epbeus did utt rly null and void.
4. In cape the Democrats were victorious in
the fall elections, no possible injury could come
of It. Ftr oon'ra, if (Jruiit and Colfax were
elected, we would be no worse off with it than
without It. Nay, we might be in a better con
dition, since, through the present constitution,
all tbe whites were eufranchished, which might
not be tbe case if another constitution were
framed under more rsdical auspices.
i. So that, in every possible view of the sub
ject, as tbe mutter then stood, Mr. Stephens
deemed it best tor tbe State and the whole
countrv that the radicals should be nermitted
to adopt it.
To this extent, and no further, Mr. Stephens
"favored" it. But it is wholly talse that he
favored or urg-d Its adoption on its merits, as
tbe radical journals would have the public
believe.
Men may differ as to the coencv of the rea
sons assigned, but few, whose fcood opinion is
valuable, will question tbe honesty of our illus
trious statesman's motives. We know that no
living man holds the Reconstruction acts In
greater abhorrence, and no man would sacrifice
uioie beloie riving them bis vote, sanction, or
approval. His judgment may not be Infallible,
but his patriotism and devotion to the South
re beyond suspicion.
We bave given with what clearness and per
spicacity we could, the true position of Mr. Ste
phens In the matter of the lourteentb amend
ment and Its passage by tbe so-called Legislature
of Georgia. The whole question may be briefly
Slimmed up: It Is true that Mr. Stephens
advised the Democratic members of the "Legis
lature" to abstaia from voting, thereby throwing
tbe onus and responsibility of the adoption of
thn measure npon the radicals. It is immea
surably false that he had any sympathy with
tbe meatuie, or urged its adoption on iu merits,
since no man deems it a greater abomination
tban be docs, and no man will more gladly
welcome that glorious day which shall couslgu
it and kindred vlllanles to tbe tomb of the
Crspulets, or, in more modern phrase, to the
grave-clothes of that old agitator and lather of
misdeeds, who awaits the last trump in the.
colored cemetery at Lancaster, in the State of
Pennsylvania.
MARYLAND.
Horrible Tntrtly In Queen Anne'n
County.
On Friday mornibg last, says the Centrevllle
Citizen, a cold-blooded murder was perpetrated
in Queen Anne's county, Md,, the particulars of
which are as follows:
A man named Reamy Gllmore. an industrious.
honest, and Inoffensive farmer, aed about forty
years, residing on a farm belonging to tbe heirs
ot the late Judge Chambers, on the road from
Church liill to Cbestertown, about tour miles
from the former and two from the latter place,
was found dead at an carlv hour on Frldav
morning, and his wi'e lying in an insensible
condition, but still alive, by a negro mm and
woman who had been engaged or Mr. Gil more
to "save lodcer"for him. They immediately
save me alarm to oneoi air. unmore's neigh
bors, who made the fact of the murder known
to tbe ofliceri of the law, and Justice Tarbutton,
of Grumpton, summoned alury of Inquest, and
among tbe witnesses was a negro woman,
Martha Barwick Mr. Gil more's cook who at
first denied all knowledge of the matter, but
finally confessed that a certain negro man in
the neighborhood, who was in the habit of
visiting bcr. named Michael Bell, and herself,
bad lornied a plot to murder and rob Mr.
Gilmore, which plot was Intended to be put in
execution on Friday night, but from some cause
on Thursday night the time was changed, and
tbe deed perpetrated on Friday morning, be
tween davbreak and sunrise.
Bell, she states, remained In the kitchen all
night, and in the early morning went up stairs
ar,d effected an entrance into Mrs. Gilmore's
room without awakening her, wben he dealt her
two blows with the b1ate of am axe, as she lay
sleeping, and then sent the woman tbe partner
In his crime to tell Mr. Gilmore (who, it ap
pears, for some cause, slept in another house
some distance from the dwelling) that his wife
was very sick and wanted him. Mi. Gilmore
immediately repaired to his wife's room, and as
he entered the door Bell dealt htm a heavy blow
with tbe eye of the axe, knocking him senseless
to the floor, after which he struck him two more
blows npon the head, and then left him. The
woman Martha savs Bell then commenced
rifling the bureau drawers, but drove her from
the room, and she df.on not know what umouut
of monev. if any, Bell obtained. After com
pleting his search for booty he left the premises
and that was the last she saw of htm.
Information was afterwards obtained that Bell
made his. way to the river, just below Chester
town, and procuring a small boar, boarded the
steamer Chester as she passed, and it is sup
posed went to Baltimore.
The object appears to have been both robbery
and malice, and It is said there bad been some
difficulty between Mr. Gilmore and Bell a short
time previously. Mr. Gilmore raised a great
deal of garJen produce, which be bad been sell
ing In Baltimore, and It is believed that be had
a considerable sura of mosey about tbe bouse;
and it was with the double object of gratifying
bis malice and ob'aluiog the money that Bell
perpetrated tbe horrible deed. The murdered
man was childless.
ARKANSAS.
A Speck of War In Conway County.
Meagre despatches to the Eastern papers re
port a recommencement of th trouble between
the whiles and blacks in Conway countv,
Aikar.cas. A special to the Memphis Avalanche
of te 2'Jth says:
We have alarming intelligence to communi
cate. Conway county, on the river, forty miles
above here, contains a large negro population,
and they are divided in sentiment. One night
lust wee'k some Radical negroes surrounded the
bouse ot a Dcmocratie negro, shot his dog, and
tried to get him out ot bis house.
A day or two afterwards the assailants - were
ai retted for trial, la making up a jury of
negroes, tbe radical negroes drew their
weapens on a Democratic negro, who had been
summoned, and drove him from the ground.
Anderson Gordon, Esq., persuaded them to
put up their weapons. The negroes went off
and accumulated arms and a number of men.
Mr. Tbomas Burcbtleld, a onearmsd white
man, and George Bentley, went to see and
induce them to desist from any disturbance, and
were fired upon by nineteen negroes on the
road, uteapectedly, wounding BurchQeld mor
tally, and killing Bentley's horse.
Henkle and Giboons, radical members of the
Legislature, then had Adams and Gordon
ordered out of tbe country, aud summoned the
nee roes In large numbers.
lwo or three hundred whites and friendly
negroes assembled in Lewlsburg, on the river,
for mutual protection. Mean white radicals,
from Conway, have come along tbe road to
Little Rock, stopping citizens and throwing tbe
country into contusion ana terror with threats
of indiscriminate murder of tbe whites.
Last night, as a consequence of these events.
Hinds, radical member of Congresi, and
Stewart, Governor Clayton's Adjutant,
baransued three hundred negroes, who were
summoned to meet them at Terry's Ferry, nine
miles btlow here. They mustered in one
hundred, iLstructrd them to bring; tbelr arms
and blankets to tbe ferry and a boat would
take them off at daylight. Their yells were
fnehtful.
This morning tbe Hester brought them up
and camped them on Big ltjck, above town.
Another company has been raised here, and the
streets, though perfectly q net, are filled with
ragged negroes, armed with muskets and car
tridge boxes.
Governor Clayton, the ururping Governor, is
riding about the streets with much activity, and
His said he will go with the expedition up the
river this evening. It the negroes attempt to
interfere with tbe liberties ot tee citizens of
Conway, blood will flow freely. Clayton is bitter
and determined. So are the people, The De
mocracy have never aggressed. They mean to
register and vote, aud see that Democratic ne-i
groes do tbe same. The negroes of Arkansas
are rapidly turiiinr, and tbis disturbance is
gotten up to frighten them. We kuow not what
an hour will bring forth. T nothing extenuate,
nor set liowu aught In malice.
THE INDIANS.
More Outrages on the Plain.
The New Haven Journil publishes the follow
ing from ex-Governor D at ton, dated St. Joseph,
Mo., August 29:
As 1 bave just arrived lie re from Manhattan,
Kansas, which is within a hundred miles ot tbe
scene of tbe lste Indian outrages, I presume I
am able to communicate through you to the
public at tbe taut more reliaole information
concerning them than you can ootatu from any
other source. Last Saturday I wis introduced
to Governor Crawford, at Topeka, wbo baa a
day i two before returned from au official visit
lo the seat of hostilities, and who bad organized
a military force to protect tbe sellers. He in
formed me that, to his knowledge, fourteen
bodies of the victims have been buriel, and a
number of others wounded.
One woman, who was shot through the breast,
informed him tbtttsbe had been outraged over
twenty times by Indians in succession. Another
stated that she had been outraged by (as near
as sbe could recollect), twenty-nine. One child
was badly speared in the neck, and another In
tbe back. I felt the greatest Interest in the
statements, as two men were killed at a dwell
ing beuse three miles t bis side of a place where
a nephew of mine, with his ficnily, were, having
located himself there last Spring. A youne
woman, about eighteen tears old, was c Tried off
and has not been beard from. As far as I could
ascertain my nepbew was not disturbed. But at
tbe family bad a lather and crown sons, and a
daughter who bad learned the use of a rifl", and
as they were supplied with about a dozn Minnie
rifles and a thousand rounds cf ammunition,
and as they had a dugout near to Republican
river to retire to, tbe Indians would probably
bave met with a warm reception. It Is not sur
prising that treat alarm and the most bluer
leeling towards the Indians irevals among the
settler. A man fiom that region Informed me
in the cars to-day that about two hundred bad
left tbelr homes. It Is confidently asserted that
tbe Indians used the very arms that our Govern
went furnLbhed to them under the late so-called
treaty.
THE WICKEDEST MAN.
He Makes Another Speech The Noon
Tny I'rnycr-Jleetlima at his Dauee
Ilonse.
The New York Tribune's instalment of
"The Wickedest-Man" literature ol this morning
contains tbe lollowiug:
Tne meeting of yesterday was densely crowded
with disciples of both sexes. Indeed, the room
was suffocatinr. It was couducie i by Dr. J. M.
Ward, assisted by Albert C. Arnold, of tbe
Howard Mission, who is the first person who
ever held a prayer-meeting in a dunce-house.
The very Spirit of Qod seemed to pervade the
meeting In tangible presence. Sucn hetrttelt
earnestness we never before witnessed. Every
prayer, every address, was a triumpa of good
snfe, tact, and devot on. These hymns were
sung wllh camp-meeiing unction. Every heart
seemed to be melted.
Just before the close of the meeting it was
announced that a neighboring dance-housa
Keeper had declared that be would follow alien's
example, and close his house before the end of
tbe present week. This announcement caused
a great sensation, as it seemed to indicate that
the lines of the dauce-bou9e keepers bad ben
broken, and that a complete rout of the entire
boide was clore at band. At this juncture John
Allen struck up a hymn, commencing:
"Jesui soaeht me when a stranger,
Wandering- from tbe fold ofUd "
This was participated in by all present. Some
difficulty was experienced with an inebrla.ed
female, wbo. as soon as tbe word "blood" was
mentioned, kept crying out, "Blood v my eyes!
Bloody my eyes !" until she had to be quie'.ed;
but oiherwlse tbe ceremony went off snootnly
enoegh.
Upon being called on for a speech, Mr. Allen he
sitated, but finally spoke sub.-tantially as follows:
My Friends: There ha been a srood deal said
about the sincerity of my reformation. All I
have got to a? is, that I am sincere, aud tbat I
mean to do better than I have done. I won't keep
another dance bouse because I think it wicked.
I dO COt yet dare to Call msaolf a ralortund man
but I am going to try my best to be one. 1
hope you will help me to keep my good resolu
tion, and that you will come and do likewise.
As tar as I am able, you ran count on me if you
want to rise up out of hell, lam going to do
my best I can't promise anything better than
this. I will do all tbat God le's me 1"
This speech was received with profound emo
tlou, after which came the hymn:
'Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom rly."
Then, after further 6ingtng and a prayer, the
meeting adjourned until to-day at twelve o'clock.
The New York Times ot tbis morning says:
Newspaper writers have dwelt in generftl terms
upon the fihh and squalid aspect of Allen's
place of business. It is, on the contrary, quite
clean, and in no way externally repugnant.
The bouse is a freshly-painted two story and
attic brick, with neat yellow shutters to the
wiud?ws. There are two rooms on the ground
floor. The oue opening into the street contains
the bar, and is quite small. Tbe walls are hung
wiib red and black paper. Tne bar is painted
yellow, and the well whitewashed ceiling is
ornamented with many colored tly-catcnera of
tissue paper.
Tbe inner room is much larger, and was used
for dancing. It had tables around, where
sailors sat and treated AUea's syrens to liquor.
The floois, ot course, were bare. The upoer
fiart of tbe walls were whitewashed, but the
ower half was coated with yellow painted
wood. It might be supposed tbe pictures were
of a low order. On the contrary, tbe subjects
were of most beautitul children, painted and
framed. One was a little girl with a cut, anotner
a boy child of two years. A roguish head of a
King Charles spaniel, and a most comfortable
looking tabby cat, completed these work of art.
A prayer-meeting will be held every day, at
noon, throuehout this week. The disposition
that Allen will make of his house is not fully
decided on.

There is to be a reciprocal freedom of commerce,
but by this the privilege of carrying on the

exist, or be construe ed under the autho ity of
Nicaragua, to be uted and enjoyed in the same
manner and npon equitl term by both republics
and their respective citizens, the republic of
Nicaragua, however, reserving its rights of
sovereignty over the same. The United States
agree to extend their protection to all

and to guarantee tbe neutrality and innocent
