KkiHTKEN States have already ap
pointed delegates to the Republican Na

South Carolina, Wisconsin, Virginia and
North Corolina. The administration was
eudorsed by every one. Florida, Indi-
I ana. Iowa. Kansas, Kentucky, Maiue,

necticut promised their support to who
ever was nominated."
The Louisville Letgr still opposes
the passive policy, saying : "If the
Liberal Republican mjvement means no
more than to turn out Grant and put in
another radical, who will only substitute
a new set of hungry radical officeholders

loss to uuderstaud what iutercst Demo-
crats can have in the fight. And euch,
we arc satisfied, are the views of a large
portion of those who are professing a de
sire to defeat Grant." It therefore con
cludes that "the Cincinnati Convention
will develop that vastly more than half
the liberal liepublican bluster has been
sham, and that it has been gotten up by
i disappointed office aeeUer who simply
want place ; the remainder, wno really
want to defeat Grant because of a re
spect for our theory of government and
the authority of the Constitution, will be
left to cast their lot with the Democratic
party, and will cordially do so."
Tub course that Col. Forney's Press
has pursued in regard to the nominations
made by the late Republican State Con
vention does not meet with approval in
the rural districts, however it may be

AN ACCOUNT OF TUB AFFRAY.
In order that the circumstances caus
ing the trreible fight above alluded to
may be more fully understood we will
tate the following: On April 11 a
white man named J J. Kcsterson, living
in the Cherokee Nation, near the Arkan
sas line, about fifty miles from this city,
came here and
filed information before
United States Commissioner Churchill
against one Proctor, also a white man,
married to a Cherokee woman, for as
saulting him with intent to kill. He
stated that while in his sawmill, on Feb
ruary 13 last, Proctor cam in, walked
up without provocation, ' and shot his
wife dead. He then fired his revolver
at him. the ball striking just above the
left eye. Before he could fire again
Ktsterson escaped. It is further stated
that Proctor is undergoing trial for the
mnrdcr of his wife at the court house in
Suake district, about 57 miles uorthwe6t
of here. A writ was issued, and the
deputy marshals were instructed to go
to the court house, and remain until the
trial was over, and if he was not convict
ed, to arrest him on another charge.
Proctor is known to be a desperado, and
it being iu the neighboihood where
Deputy Marshall Bentz was killed, about
a month ago where, in fact, a deputy
marshal is ehot at almost at sight it ;
was necessary that a strong force should
be sent.
THB TARTY
had also writs for the murderers of United
States Deputy Marshal Bentz, who- are
supposed to be in the immediate vicinity,
and they intend to resist arrest. On the
morning of April 13 Deputy Marshals
Jacob H. Owpna and Joseph G. Peavy,
with Wm Weed, Joseph G. Vanney,
James Uarkins, Paul Jones, and Eugene
Brackett as a posse, left here for the
scecu of action. At Evansville the were
joined by Riley Wards and W. J. Mor
ris, and at Dutchtown by a man named
Beck, who is part a Cherokee. The
Indian court house i about 12 miles west
of that place. The party proceeded, and
about 3 P. M. on Monday thry were
within fifty yards of the court-house,
when they dismounted, hitched tbeir
horses, and quietly walked towards the
east ai.ie of the house iu file by twos.
They stopped at the corner, and Beck
stepped around to the front door, and
looked in. Seeing a
large number of
people inside,
AKMHO TO TIIK TEETH,
he turned immediately to come away,
but not before he was fired upon an
d j
dangerously wounded. At the same
time a volley was poured from the court-1
house upon the marshals force without,
who then commenced to return the fire. !
They were nt a great disadvantage, as
the attacking party was under shelter
iuside of the courthouse. It appears
that Deck had some friends inside the
court-house, who, when they saw him
fall, opened fire on his beck's enemies
inside, and presently the fighting was
general. It was brief, however, but '
TERRIBLE. I.N ITS RESULTS.
Of the marshal' force seven out of
eleven lay dead, aud of the assailants
only three. Some sixteen or seventeen
are reported wounded some mortally,
including Marshal Owens. The messen
ger knew the names of only two of the
marshal's force who were killed James
Ward and Riley Woods'. Three were
missing James llawkin. Paul Jones,
and Eugene Bracket. Morris helped to
lay out nine bodies on a porch, about
half a mile from the scene of the deadly
affray, and thither the Federal wounded
were also carried. Proctor, the woman
killer and desperado, was guarded by
eleven of his personal friends, who would
not see him convicted. The eheriff was
killed, aud the judge received three
buckshot in the knee. Indeed, it ap
pears from the sudden and deadly assault
on the marshal's force, that the people
inside the court-house bad been fully in
formed of their approach, and were pre
pared for them. The officials were in
structed to mike a demand for Proctor
only in case of his acquittal, and ex
pected soma resistance should they at
tempt to arrest Proctor after his acquit
tal ; but for
THB MLRliEROt'S VOLLEV,
on their first approach, they were not
prepared, aud heuce their slaughter.
Immediately on the receipt of Deputy
Marshal Peary 'a letter, It. C. Kerens,
chief deputy marshal, Captain J. AV.
Donnelly, chief clerk, and United States
Commissioner Brooks Churchill raised
and mounted thirty men, under com
mand ol City Marshal C. F. Robinson,
and Jos. Tinker, deputy. Accompany
ing the expedition are Dootnrs Julian C.
Field and C. W. Pierce A demand has
been made on the authorities of the na
tion to assist in taking the murderers

was on the sh. If. Oue ot them said,
"Oh. that is not the kind we want. We
want a silk to make ties and caravats of."
Mr. Mapes, uot liking the looks of the
meu, said. "We Lave nothing to suit
yon." As they went out they met a boy
connected wkh the establishment, and
said to him, -kave you got a key to the
store!" The boy told tham that he
had, and showed them a key to a side
entrance. Ooe of them pnlled a piece
of wax out of his pocket and took an im
pression of the' key.
Mr. Mapes then went to the Ninth
Precinct Station House, and told Captain
Washburn and Sergeant Bird about the
man. Although they scarcely thought
that they would try anything last night,
they detailed Officers Bush, O'Neill and
Bradley, who went and hiJ themselves
under the couuter. At three o'clock this
morning the burglers entered. The gas
was on the glimmer, and, they flashed
their bull's-eye around the store, the
light twice flashing across Bush's nose.
In crawling along they came very close
to O'Neill. Oue paid, -I'll go for the
shelves, an! you go for the window.'
Just then O'Neill spring np and fired
over the head of the bnrgler nearest him.
The jar of the report put the gas out,
and immediately a rusk was made by the
officers to the door to stop the egress ol
the burglars. The firing theu com
menced, and'between eight and twelve
shots were fired.
During the melee Bush and O'Neill
clinched, each thinking the other the
burglar. They hauled oue another out
to the sidewalk under the gaslight before
they discovered their mis Like. They
then rushed back, and O'Neill found!
that he was shot in the head, the ball
navin entered at the back part, and
followed the scalp around to nearly the
top of the head, where it came out

Serious Damage by a Tornado.
Charleston. April 19 A tornado
swept over Columbia on Thursday night,
and demolished the new market house,
which was about finished. The greatest
damage was in Chester, where sixty two
houses were entirely destroyed and
others damaged. Nobody wa killed,
but four colored persons were injured by
falling houses. Miles of fencing were
blown down and thousands of large fruit
trees were torn p by the roots. The
total loss in Chester is $50,000, mostly
falling on persons of sm ill means. - A
meeting was held in Chester to-day, and
steps taken to relieve the sufferers. The
tornado moved westwardly, and was of
short duration.
