FIRST EDITION THE INDIANS, A Party of Surveyors Surrounded by 175 Savages The Fight Lasts All Day Escape at Night. The riattsniouth (Nebraska) Herald says: Through the kindness of A. I. Brown, Chief Clerk of the Surveyor-General's otllce for Iowa and Ne braska, we are permitted to publish the following letu-r, giving the details of the recent fight between a party of tiovernmcnt surveyors and a body of one hundred and sevcnty-tlve Indians: "North I'i.attk, Neb,, August 24. A. L. Brown, Chief Clerk ol Surveyor-General's Otllce. Dear Sir: on the gist, about tl o'clock In the morning, a small party of Indians made a dash into camp and shot one horse and succeeded in running oil .he balance (live head), but we succeeded In retaking the stock and wounding two Indians. We then compared notes and concluded, as there were evident signs of a large oody of Indians In the vicinity, that we would go to the nearest post on the river and get more arms and ammunition, as we were short of both, one of our guns having explodcdland wounded the man who was holding IU We hitched up, and when we had pro ceeded about two miles were suddenly surrounded by ntient one hundred and seventy-live Indians, who seemed to come from the South. Knowing them to lie hostile, and knowing that It would be useless to try to keep out of their wuy, we concluded to stop aud make the best light we could. We unhitched the stock and let them go. When the Indians saw this the whole force made for the stock ; and as they went by we gave them a volley, without any ctl'ect except disabling a horse. While they were catching our stock we were digging rill pits and throwing up lntrcnchments as good as we could during the ilme we had, which was short. As soon as they caught the stock they surrounded us and fought us in In dian style all day. Fortunately none of us were seriously hurt, although one of tho men was slightly wounded in the forehead by a glancing shot, and my brother was disabled for duty by the explosion of a cartridge in his face, which blinded him so he could not see for nearly the whole day. We disabled several of their horses, and know that we shot twelve Indians, three of whom we know were killed two of them lay in our sight all dav, they not venturing to take them away till dark. Although their bullets rained around us all day like hail, not a man tlinched, nor do I think one felt the least despondent. About dark they ceased tiring, and seemed by their actions to be stationing sentinels in squads at different points, sounding as though the main body were stationed at a point about one hundred and lifty yards southwest of us. In a ravine. About dark we commenced digging with great energy, to make them believe we intended to stay there: but at half past nine o'clock we left our little fort by crawling on our bellies about a mile, which we thought ex ceeding dangerous, as the moon shone, and it was almost as light as day, and we expected to crawl uMn the Indians at every minute. But we did not, and as soon as we had left a ridge of land between us and the Indians we skedaddled the host we could, and arrived safe at the river the next day. I lost the entire outlit, not excepting anything. My brother and two other men are now out wi'h a party of cavalry, hoping to rescue apart of the outfit. " ery truly, W. E. Dougherty.' BOSTON HARBOR. The Government to Protect it by Another tortreHH. From the Boston Traveller, Sept. 8. During the present season improvements have been making In Boston harbor ou an unprededent edly large scale, and in accordance with plans which were adopted some time ago. The work is being done thoroughly and at a great expense, and will prove of lasting advantage when completed. The action of the ocean upon the headlands In the harbor, especially when it Is agitated by the heavy storms which blow from the east, the northeast, and the north, has a tendency to close the main channel, and it is for its protection and Improvement that the great outlay of labor and money is made. Looking at a chart of the harbor a slight observation will show one how the spits and bars which jut out from many of the islands into the channel are formed. The islands most exposed to the ocean storms He to the north of the channel, and slowly and surely the action of the waves and the winds was impelling the soil washed from them towards the channel, and In time, did not human skill and labor interfere, it would be closed, so far as all commercial purposes are concerned. Around these islands large seawalls have been built or are building, and the encroaching soil is to be dredged from the channel. The authorities have established as the mean depth of the channel twenty two feet, and work in conformity with this decision will be commenced as soon as possible, and, indeed, has already been commenced. A few days ago it was stated that Barrell Rock, In Broad Sound, had been removed by blasting. The huge masses of rock, some pieces weighing as much as seventy tons, which were blown off, have not yet been removed. They are to be transported to Black Rock Channel and there sunk to till it up. This pas snge runs between Lovcll's Island and the Great Brewster Spit. It Is very seldom used, never by large vessels, and has always been considered in a somewhat objectionable light. By means of it a large quantity of drift finds its way into the main ship channel, and the flood-tide sweeping through it has a tendency to force vessels to the other Bide of tho channel, and in dangerous proximity to St. George's Island. A sea wall has been built almost entirely around Gallop's Island. Some TOO feet have already been completed, and work upon it will be concluded before the end of the season. The wall around Deer Island is essentially finished, and it Is proposed to put a similar guard around Point Allerton. The (ireat Brewster has been the cause of more appre hension than any other point in the harbor, and early secured the attention of the authorities. The two headlands of which this island is principally composed have had walls built for their protection, and these walls, which were some 200 feet apart, are now being united at a cost of from f 25,000 to 30,O0O. Work will be here finished this season. Last Saturday the submarine divers perfected their arrangements and commenced what seems to be a long and dilllcult attack upon Kelley's Rock, which lies a little seaward of the Narrows. Tnis rock is only sixteen or seventeen feet below mean low water mark, and it is proposed to increase that distance to twenty-three feet. The rock is about eighty feet long by twenty wide. The operations are watched with interest by Generals Bonham and Foster. The main ship channel at the Narrows Is being widened and deepened. The dredging machines have been working some time, and It is expected that they will complete their undertaking before the winter sets In. The channel at this polut has been BOO feet wide, and It is proposed to increase that width to 6S5 feet. This is being accomplished by cutting otr part of Lovcll's Island. The Upper Mid dle, near Fort Independence. Is to be widened to 100 feet ami to have a mean depth of 23 feet. Work will be commenced as soon as tue necessary appropria tions are made. l'he forts In the harbor are greatly Improved and mounted with the heaviest guus. The plans, It Is expected, will be ready for presentation to the next Congress, aud if approved work will be commenced Immediately and the guns mounted as soon as cast. Negotiations are now pending for the purchase by Government of Long Island Head, and If satisfac torily completed a strong fort will be immediately erected thereon. The position Is a commanding one, ami the new fort will undoubtedly prove a valuable addition to the harbor defenses. FROM BALTIMORE. The New City Hall Contract Sc uncial.

The Democratic Logic Continues Conclusion of Mr. Hirst's Ar gumentJudge Strong's Re plyAn Able Effort in Behalf of the Con testants. Argument by Mr. Phillips in Favor of Incumbents Conclusion by Mr. Meredith. Court of Common rieim Alllxon, P. J., nnd JuilurH l.uillow, 1'clrce, hikI Hrewnlcr. The Court this morning entered Into the last day of the discussion of the election cases, and began the period of short speeches, as was good-huinorcdly said by counsel yesterday. The arguments so far have been marked by their ingenuity and learning, and by the extreme politeness, good fueling, and cordiality among the forensic antagonists and be tween them on the one side, aud the Bench on the other. Mr. Hirst resumed his discourse whore he left oil yesterday at the close of our report: Remembering that I have deemed the case ef the Beceiver of Taxes the only one requiring argument I present to your Honors three more illegal votes in the Sixth division of the Seventeenth ward and the tslxth division of the Fourth ward, and also thirty nine votes of hepublicans cast for Mr. Fletcher. Mr. Hirst here made numerous references to the printed testimony, and thanking their Honors for the kind attention they had gives him, closed. Judge Strong's Argument. Judge Strong then arose on the part of the con testanis, and spoke In substince as follows: 1 do not propuse, may It please your Honors, to enter Into the details of the evidence that has ueen submitted to the Court; that has been thoroughly and most lucidly discussed by my colleague, Mr. Mann, and on the other side my friends have dis cussed their own evidence, which they oiler to miti gate the severity of the charges we make aud to re but them. I am fortunate. I think, In being relieved from the disagreeable labor of exploring such a wrong and fraud to the public and to individuals as have been disclosed by thlB evidence; this Is not at all to my taste. Certain facts, I believe, have been clearly established, which show that the election ottlcers, who have neglected their duties, have been spoliators of our rights. Those otllcers who marked the letter X opposite to names that were not voted, have deliberately destroyed the evidence of an election provided by law. Repeating, false personations, and the voting of UHussessed men were common offenses at these polls, making the returns entirely unreliable. What is to lie done In these precincts ? I'urge the polls 7 Mr. Hirst says separate the chaff from the wheat, and appeals to his llmor Judge Brewster. But can thai be none? No, sirs, there is not a sieve tine enough to glean the truth from this great heap of falsehood. The only proper remedy is to cast out theBe polls; say to the election ottlcers that "If you do not perform your duties you vitiate the polls and there Is no election.'' If you do not do th.s, you offer a premium to fraud by informing these oillcers that they may go on aud cheat aud yet not lose. The time has come when you must teach the election otll cers of Philadelphia that those who misperform their duties shall lose, be they Republican or Democrat. It is said that if you do throw out these polls, you disfranchise individuals aud even whole districts. Well, it may be you do, using the term disfranchise in a loose meaning. But who Is It that it thus dlsfranches? It is not the Court: it is the man who commits the fraud at the poll. Unless you apply the remedy we ask, you will soon Increase the prevalence of that fear, already entertained by many honest citizens, that our insti tutions have proved a failure our Constitution gives the right to vote to every free white male citi zen, but our Legislature has at the same time pro vided conditions upon which alone the right can be exercised. The law says that the election oillcers shall have a list of assessed electors, aud allow no man to vote whose name is not upon this list, Fach qualified elector must have paid his tax, aud therefore wnen a man oilers to vote whose name Is not upon the list, it is the lawful pre sumption that he has not qualified, and he must be rejected. Counsel on the other side say this pro vision is merely directory : but I cannot see now your Honors can think so. The law says this shall be done and imposes a penalty for a failure to do it; is this directory ? I do not conceive how a prohibi ten of the law can be called directory. It is also commanded that no name shall be marked as voted when the elector bearing that name has not cast his ballot. Where tnese things are done the election cannot be regarded as due, and must be cast out. But it is complained that by doing this you punish the honest man for the misdeeds of the dishonest. Well, is that anything strange ? If the division had not voted according to the requirements of law,what right have they to have their vote counted, and what right have the candidates to such votes ? Bo we not see that the community repeatedly loses property and interest through lack of fidelity in its public officers, and for the protection of every man of this large community you must apply this rule here. Who cares whether Mr. A. orMr. u. 1b Re ceiver of Taxes? 1 do not. The incumbents are undoubtedly as respected, honorable, aud worthy gentlemen as the contestants. I stand not here as a partisan, but I do labor for the vindication of the purity of our elections and the safety of us all. We are told that many of these neglects were committed by Republican officers. No matter by whom com mitted, they are none the less wrongs, and work to the injury of the public Cast all out, without dis tinction, where these things were persisted In. Last year your Honors ruled that because of a few aud unimportant disregards of the requirements of the law the election should not be annulled True, I acquiesce in that, but it cannot apply to divisions where fraud la the habitual practise, oo curriug year after year. Can any one believe that the frauds committed in the Eighth division of the Fourth ward and the Seventh division of the Third were innocent mistakes ? That the otllcers did not know better? Have they not had notice that the law must be regarded or else the election will not be sustained ? The fact of overlooking these things accounts for their continuance ; and the leaders of them In this city and in New York have become a stench in the nostrllB of all honest men in the na tion, and all the civilized world, and a disgrace to civilization. Judge Brewster last year feared that the application of this remedy would destroy the candidates for things over whicn they had no cou tol; but task again, what right have these candi dates to illegal votes ? What is their interest com pared with that of the public and the Importance of preserving the purity of our elections ? We must lirst secure our own safety, and then we will attend to that of our own representatives. And of these candidates 1 am not the partisan. do not speak for the contestants; I do not know them, with one or two exceptions. I do not know any of the incumbents save two, whom I know to be perfect gentlemen and honorable men, and who have proven that they are as efficient oillcers as could be selected. But 1 speak for our institutions, J speak for the whole community; as a citizen, as counsel, as one most deeply interested in the vindication of the purity of the ballot-box ; and I beseech your Honors rigidly to apply to this election the rule 1 contend for, and announce, once for all, that uuiess an elec tion can be conducted honestly and according to law, it cannot be sustained by this court. I'pou this determination Investigate the proof, aud If you rind that the fraud committed In these precincts to have been habitual, throw them out. Now, In regard to the Supreme Court naturaliza tion papers, 1 wish to speak but briefly. I have known the Honorable Chief Justice many years ;1 have known Judge Hharswood many years; and I must say that 1 Jc now that no wrong whatever was Intended by them. They are Imth honorable and learned men, and ornaments to the community. Jlut the Court was imposed upon. There were gross frauds committed there iu the mode of obtaining these papers, In the manner of vouching, aud in other particulars. I have also known Mr. bnowden. the Prothouotary, many years, and I express myself convinced that no wrong, no fraud was intentionally done by him, or was perpetrated with his conni vance. These gentlemen I have known long and well, and I take great pleasure in thus puoilclv saying that they are free and innocent of auv intention whatever to do that which was not honest and upright Aud I will say that the rejection of the certificates of the Supreme Court by the election officers was a great mistake ; it was their dutv to have received them, having of course the right to investigate them. But unless your Honors can come to the belief that this rejection was a corrupt and perverse act, I do not think you can deem it suffi cient cause for throwing out the polls where it oc curred; and when you look at the circumstances surrounding the issue of these papers, you will hardly form that belief. Urging upon your Honors the necessity of guarding strictly the purity of our elec tions by enforcing without mercy the only effectual penalty ppon frauds, J now conclude mj icuwrt Argument of Mr. Phllllpa. Henry M. Phillips, Esn-t on behalf of the respon dents, followed Judge Strong. May It please the Court, he said, I will ocenpy your time and attention for but a short space, con ilnlng myself to a reply to the positions advanced by my learned opponent, Judge Strong. Though he did not say so in express words, the gontleman plainly left upon us the idea that this contest is an appeal from the people to the Judiciary, and that you are expected now to punish the people. But onr form of government is based upon the principle, which I know you will sustain, that the wrongs of the people will bo worked out and reme died by the people themselves. They have always done It, always will do It, and never confided to any branch of their government tho power to do It on such a scale as this. Where you have a Judicial duty, perform It, but do not go beyond that. I do not claim the right to vote as an Inherent one; we derive It from the Constitution of this Commonwealth, and from the laws of this Commonwealth you derive jour powers , , The wisest piece of legislation this people has had for many a year was the election law of 183U, and that law gave you the power, upon complaint of an undue election, to inquire into the returns and to decide upon the merits of tho case. Vou are not given the power to examine Into the qualifications of the electees, and it Is quite a question whether you can examine the conduct of an election; nnd If this should be so, it limits your Honors to the duty of investigating simply the re turns. I know you will not assume a Jurisdiction that is not given you expressly by the law, and it Is not to be said that you would attempt it in a controversy between the contestants and the people, for the can didates who are returned as elected represent the people. And while you are cenflned to this limited jurisdiction, Inform the people of this fact, that their will shall not be so repeatedly attacked by defeated candidates, and attempted to be set aside. When the law provides that a contestant's petition shall be tiled within twenty days, if ho cannot in that time find enough specific frauds upon which to base his case. I dissent from the doctrine that they should be permitted to come into this Court and ob tain a charter for looking further. When an elec tion is held and the people have declared their will, sustain It: give dne credit to the sworn returns of sworn officers. Why Judge Strong should have complained of the Increasing lack of respect to pub lic oillcers an election officer, though humble and Indeed this investigation proves it to lie so and though men can be procured to swear anything, yet an election officer, I say, is a public servant, and is entitled to as much respect in his circumscribed sphere as tho highest function ary in the land. And when these officers, upon their solemn oaths, make returns, they should be sup ported and defended against such groundless attacks as this. Allowing everything claimed by these con testants, and still the two highest otllcers will not be affected, unless your Honors throw out the pre cincts, which I cannot believe you will do. Why, by doing such a thing, you would expressly overrule your own decision, given only one year ago. This Court is not like the wind or the sunshine of an April day. upon which no conlldence can be rested. Now, was there not a preconcerted combination to reject the naturalization papers? It Is clearly proven. These papers are like divorces. They are records, and stand, or should stand. And you will say that, where these rejections occurred, the election was undue. Tuklng up this case from first to last, have the contestants shown such a state of facts as would entitle you to throw out the electlou? Are you to encourage a defeated candidate in coming here and treating an election as if he was not defea'ed? Here 1 rest the case with our Honors. Conclusion by Mr. Meredith. The Hon. William M. Meredith followed, conclud ing the argument of the whole case, and Bpeakiug on the part of the contestants: If the Court please, I have a few words to say in reply to what has fallen from our learned opponents, and they shall be few, for 1 am not Insensible to the time that has already been consumed in this case, and thoroughness with which it has already been discussed; In fact, but for a few remarks ad vanced by Mr. Phillips, I should no, have deemed it necessary to say a word. I am sorry to say my friends come here here not for the purpose of directing your attention to the facts of the case, but to talk aiiout the people, and say that this contest is moved by a mere lust and greed of office. Now I come here to represent the interest of this very people whose will they say we endeavor to overturn. Now in regard to the proceed ing of the legislative commute, while good things are Justly said of the parties to this case, I cannot refrain from giving praise to one who is entitled to it. but of whom it has not yet been said. My learned friend, Mr. Hirst, who comes here to defend this contest, seeing plainly that the case was clear against him, withdrew his claim from before the Legislative Committee. He showed that of the lust and greed for office attributed to these contestants he had none, and for this he deserves honor. What has Mr. Phillips done? Why, he has gone back to the law which has been decided bv your Honors six times decided six times. Then he at tempts to impeach the forms of the petitions, but you have already heard and decided that before you ap pointed the examiners. I will not attempt a detail of the case, but will look at it generally; aud doing this I find votes polled so rapidly that they could not be entered, unassessed votes received, votes counted that were not cast, and various other frauds. These leave it your plain duty to cast out the polls where they prevailed. Mr. Phillips cries that this wou'd be to punish the people. Yes, to punish those who have deliberately cheated the people of an election. There is good ground for the rejecting all the precincts we have attacked. On the other hand, let me inquire into the ground alleged for the reduction of the Republican majori ties. It is this angry and vexing subject or natu ralization. No proper minded man can helo regret ting that this subject ever existed. But the whole number of these votes proven to have been refused was only 810, which, if allowed, would not defeat it. But they do not rest here; they ask you also to deduct thousands from us for those who were deterred from coming to the poll. Why didn't they come to the poll ? Had they heard of tltat Individual who, upon o.ith, stated to the Inspector a period which proved he was not entitled to natu ralization. The seal of the Supreme Court was counterfeited, the signature of the Prothonotary was forged. I concur in the principle that the seal of the court proves itself; but also I say a forgery also proves Itself. You will nor. inculcate the doctrine ttut because the genuine seal itself is verity, that anything that may be oilered is to be equally well received. I say it was the duty of the election otllcers to examine and to exercise their judgment in the polling of these votes, atid to attempt to protect the public from their im p sitlon. Now I need not beg your pardon, for I think you will thank me for not having entered into detail, and I will now tlndish my remark with the earnest prayer that your Honors will strictly apply the penalty to these wrongs; that you will no longer in dulge in warnings, for they have now proven useless, but will do what It has warned before. Again thank ing your Honors for the patience with which you have borne with myself and all of us, I have done. Naturalization In this Court. Judge Allison announced that the naturalization in this Court would be conducted under the personal supervision of one of judges; that on the Soth of this month a Court will be opened In the old Quarter Ses sions room, where one of the Judges, each taking his term, will sit daily from 10 o'clock until 8, except on Saturdays, and will see, as far as possible, that tho business Is conducted properly. The Court then stood adjourned. The Ohio Election. Vrmn the Cincinnati Enquirer (Democratic). Our contemporary of the Commercial copies the following, with an Implied Indorsement, frm the Washington despatch to Forney's 7V: "Washington. Bpt. 1, i9t. -The Republicans will carry Ohio on the itb of October byt leant tbe majority (41,48) Kiven to Grant last November. Upon exactly such a atatemeut a diatinffiiUhed correspondent .takes hm reputation. Tbe demoralization of tbe Democrat is complete." There Is not a Republican in the State, with a grai n of sense above an idiot, who believes the above. We are glad, however, to see It published. It will have tho effect to increase the distrust with which state ments in Republican papers are now received. The Hayes politicians themselves laugh at such prophe cies. Hayes stands no more chance of receiving Grant's majority, or even one-quarter or any of it, than he does of being Emperor In the place of Louis Napoleon. But our friends and enemies outside of the State will not understand It until the latter are effectually beaten-as they certainly will be oa the second Tuesday in October.
