THE IIEROIAE OF THE lUMkIEM. The First Civilized Woman Who Staked a Claim al Lead vine now Occupying a French Flat in Slew York City-Reap, log a I orlune and Educatinga Itaughier at Vassar. [N.w YOl k News ] Mrs. Sarah Ray, the best known woman beyond the Rocky Mountains, the heroine of the Snake River massacre, , and the first woman wh- ever ventured • into Leadville, Colorado, which city she helped to found, is now a resident of this city. Last December Mrs. Ray quitted her hotaft iu Leadville to take up a residence in the East, in order to locate her daughter in a school and arrnnge for the future care of the little Mexican waif whom she has in ohaige. She is residing iu the brown-stone flat at 410 West Fifty-seventh street. “I tried to escape from the newspaper men on my trip here." she said, ’ “aud I sueceded until we got to Ruffa- j 10, when a reporter evrraled me in the ■ ears. He was a nice sort of a young man. just semi Hiing like yourself, aud Ihe wr:te the article ib.iut me which I | was published j.-, the St eral weeks ago. “Twenty-Evo ye>rs ago, when I was ' scarcely twenty-two years old, I married Mr. Ordway in St. Ann’s Church, this city. He was not over strong, and . it was thought that a trip to the West! i would do him good, and, after a six months’ residence on Staten Island, we ' started for Kansas. He died at Law1 1 rence. After his death I went with the Ford faiuily to Denver, and from , theuee to Central City, where I re- j ! xnained a domestic at Broadwell’s Ho- j tel. While there 1 met Frank Ray, a .Mexican, lie was a miner. We o u t . ; married. The jeutiuouy was per- ! , I formed in the big parlor of the hotel. ! , aud it was quite a big affair. Frank I and I then started out for the mines, i j There was a train going out, and we ( Joined it. After we had been out a • few days, on the moruiugof July 10th, ! , I think, the party was in the best of | ( spirits. I remember how well and hap- i , py we all were. There were five young i men, and they weiy al| good tpusi- ! ( ciaus. They played all aorta ot reels I and jigs, trying to > - ' . ,«e out of our : ._ 6 uii. VVhen they struck up -St. ' I Patrick's Day’ 1 could not remain | , away, and went over with Frank to ! ! their camp. There we all danced aud ! I sang and played tricks on each other. ! j We were a mest happy lot of emigrants, | all except poor McMahon. He, poor fellow, seemed oppressed, and I shall ever remember the look be gave me when 1 joked about his horse. Well, before eleven o’clock that day poor j McMahon was shot, killed and scalped by the Indians ten feet away from me. ! I can see the sight now.'’ Covering ! her face with her hands, this but a mo- ' ment before laughing, happy woman ' shuddered. "Oh. sir." she continued, '■had I not been ol the disposition I 'am -von know that lan • : "<- tiiau —here she began to laugh a.. . .n, ’■ toll that without i ;my saying Stt") ' - ' 1 & never sumo that dav sWi 11. Lawyer 1 ales I wife never recovered irvni it. Well, as we passed along on that day. the ’ first intimation we. Dad of lhe Indians was lhe dropping or one ol the horses !of the train. Frank got my horse into ! a little gully and placed me on it, when he said, Ts any thing goes wrong with i me, go to my folks in Texas.’ The ! ! shots were flying all about us. Poor McMahon fell, and 1 saw the beathens rush up and scalp him. Frank then, having got the wagons and horses in j order, began his work, aiid before 1 knew it, 1 was in the wagon doing all 1 could, too. When we succeeded in driving the Indians off ail my clothing I was gone. 1 had torn it from me to bandage up the wounds of our men. I must have done some firing, too, for when we got out of the canou the Doc-1 tor said, 'Sally, yotrh'e one of the best fellows in a fight.’ A party from Salt j Lake came to our aid. They buried the dead and removed the wounded. ; In one grave were placed the five young men who played ‘St. Patrick's Day.' i We continued our trip, nothing event-1 ful happening, and in good time ar i rived at our destination, Gallatin \ ali ley, on the Gallatin River. There Frank met with Bummer Ban. and they struck that famous mine. Bummer Dan.’ It panned out heavy. Once forty men were employed by Bummer ’ ; Dan and my husband. Riches were i ours, and we took up a place in the j valley and built a home. I went to - farming and Frank started off fora > little fun. That trip made him known r in evey city from the mine to Buffalo. ' where lie died. Things went wrong ! then. I battled with the grasshoppers for three year*, and then had to give ’ un. I returned to Denver, anu the., 1 . f r " • T ]pft mV ' I I auUuul,

I “It was then time for me to do something, and I started out. I put up at Alma, and on the land given me there by Mr. Dexter and Mr. Wilcottl erected a nice cottage. Then I got a chance to serve as a cook for Meyers at his , place, sixteen miles away. Tnere was but a few people in that place at that time. Tabor, who is now Governor, had a little cabin near Meyers' place. A few people began to flock into the place, and 1 thought I might as well locate. So 1 started out —it was winter—and I marked off some land. I got logs, put them together, and with boiling water thawed out the earth to make plaster of it for the chinks between the logs. A sheet served as a roof. Then I took in boarders. Cora at this time came to me. I had to keep her well wrapped iu blankets all ’the time to save her from freezing. “When spring came do you know that I found myself located in the center of Leadville? The place had j beoouie a city, aud to-day the square j corner of Harrison and Slate streets is I my property, covered with fine large i houses, which ure known as Ray's ; bin :K.” . ? . :.m . 0 , from this ! i " ' to over $2,000 a uimidi. lieierriug to this property, she ' said: "If 1 had not tne greatest confidence in Mossr:. Bettinger & Eisen- ; ! doffer, who have care of it for me, I! ' would never have come on East.” Afi ter a recital of many other interesting ! incidents, not lhe least of which was , 1 her Battle maintaining her claim, she said . ‘Gill this, however. I was nerved • to do for wy daughter. She is now at 1 school here, preparatory to her entrance j 1 into Vassar College. She’ll soon be j be home. Here comes my little ward. 1 ' In re lied the little Mexican waif < whom she picked up at Robinson’s Run. 1 “This is uty little Lizzie,” she said. 1 “She is eight years old now, and is go- ' ing to school ground the corner. 11 1 love the little thing and will do all I ( can for her.” < The pride which shone in her eyes * as the little girl replied to the report- ( cfs questions, showed that her heart ? was indeed wartq to the little one, . 1 A few momeutsaitoi wal’d ’ ter entered 1 .. naudsome miss ol six- | teen. Noticing the reporter’s glance ! at the silver medal she wore on her I breast, she said : “Oh, that's a reward , lof merit. I won it to-day. I was first !in ail mv studies.” At the request of , ! her mother, she then played on the ■ ! piano. Grouped about her stood her j mother and the little waif. It was a ’ picture. They, whose name and*fame are known in every camp, mine and city of the rugged Rocky Mountains, were practically lost iu this great city. Mrs. Ray thinks she will make her ■ residence here permanent.

Tlie Cause and the Featler. [Napob ou Na tb west] During the last few days loud calls have come from the national capital for the Democratic party to rally to its traditions, to come to the rescue of popular government and save the liberties of the people. The Democracy has ever been the party of the people, and so long as it remained true to its trust, so long did its cestn)/ que trust remain true to it. Every tresspass ever comtfiittcd upon the rights of the people has been, until during late years, by the people through the Democratic party, resented aud properly punished and the tulwark of freedom maintained. Shall that grand old party now become deaf and recreant to its trust? Shall it continue to follow uncertain paths, pursue a doubtful and vaeilating policy, be led by ephemeral leaders carrying banners with “a strange device,” prostrate its energies to the capri.es of adventurers who would sacrifice its mighty powers to the trifling aud bastard issues of an hour? And thus, I through supmess, let popular governj tuent be destroyed, the rights of the ' people ignored aud trampled upon, ‘ aud the foundation of civil liberty un- ( | dermined ?

As a party we have frittered away too much valuable time, stooped too much to “policy," aud worshipped too many g Iden calves, by adopting as doctrines of the party the dogmas of every aspirant for momentary notoriety, and now owe it to the country to return to our cardinal principles, the. only ones upon which a popular g iverninent can be manitaiiied. If we do this ami are defeated, we will at least have shown the eourasre of Cato and need not be ashamed of the cause for which we contendi'd. Ist. Let us dispose of the money - dictators and Wall street gamblers, by wiping out the entire National Bank system and compel the bondholders to lake greenbacks or such interest bearii.ir Jmnds as Congress, composed of the , people's representative, shall say is just and right between debtor and creditor. The pensioners can be paid in greenbacks and will be glad to accept them; the expenses of the postoffiee I can be paid in the same currency; so can salaries and all outlays by the government. The balance of trade, by a properly adjusted tuiff and regulated commerce, will be in our favor, and thus there need be no complaint of scarcity of money.

who cannot look with pride and gratitude upon the past. Under the administration of Polk, when the Mexican war was fought, not only with success, but with economy and honesty, without army contractors being converted into millionaires and without scandals behind it. $13,036,922 was the debt of the country. California was acquired and paid for and the great financial revolution its acquisition caused, left the country in the most flourishing condition. The energies of the administration were then alsodirected redeveloping the commerce of the country —and the bonded wareht use system was first introduced in one of President Pjlk’s messages, and the greate t economical reform of the century was the revenue tariff of 1846. Tiie tariff of 1846 rested upon a genuine equitable basis, and was the first great reform of class legislation. Woolen goods paid a uniform rate of ■' 30 per cent. valorem, ami favored ■ manufacturers could not get a prohibitory duty of 100 per cent, or more on blankets, while the manufacturer of fine broadcloth gets but 55 as at present. The tariff legislation of 1846 was as just and equitable as were then j the great men of the Democratic party. It can be summed up in a few lines : First, it was entirely nd valorem] second, woolen goods paid a uniform rate of duty of 30 per cent.; manufacturers of steel, 30 per cent.; steel. 13 per cent.; sundry other manufactures paid 20 percent., some 15 per ' cent., while brandy paid 100 per cent.; ! tobacco, 30 per cent.; cigars and wine. ! 40 per cent., and sundry other mis- ' ccllaneotts goods paid 10 per cent. Such was the tariff of 1846. In 1857 the whole tariff was reduced < 20 per cent., and woolen goods which i t bad paid 30 were reduced to 24 per I Bent.; articles that paid 25 were reduc- < ?d to 20 per cent, and so on. Our tar- t ff of 1859 was far more Ifheral than ' the English tarifi ff J,,,. and there j yero no datk, <1"" eon rooms i 1 „,e treasury a: I custom h oises filled with inform ' and hmlr'ds of . thousands of dol is ’..er. m ’ o io. - t , mt of merchants as in ■' I : Dodge and other cases. Smuggl the legitimate offspring of ~;it. n--high duties, was not known between « 1846 and 1861, and there was ao : temptation to the tourist and emigrant : to evade the laws and defraud the gov- ! ernment. How is it now? We quote 1 from a freetrader: ‘-The first offspring 1 of the dark cloud that ushered in the : Republican administration in 1861 was i 1 the Morrill tariff. But the Morrill tar- j iff compares to the present tariff as j does an infant to a full-grown man. There are no less than eighteen tariff . acts since Mr. .Morrill’s tariff and eve ry one was made especially for some favorite industries. Hidden duties in a specific form of either pound, piece, ; square, yard or measure; double duties ■ hidden duties, like those on all-wool and woolen goods, that pay so much per pound or square yard, and in addition thereto 35 or -10 per cent, ad valorem'. or that scandalous outrage of the tax on seamstres-1-. who have tn pay 76 per cent, on spo d th; .id in this hidden foim of a double duty, became during twenty years incrusted on our tariff system. In short, the future American of the twentieth century will look back on his ancestors as econom- ; te barbarians, if he ever takes the troub-1 le to examiu • the great. National swindle of the American tariff as it existed in 1880. When the degcneraled Democratic party took up Mr. <freely in 1872. and got ds-.vediy almost annihi- | lated, it became sensible enough to see ' that it had either to pnicl iim some of the old Democratic principles or go; out of the business.

Thr nftiiiderlna I kijoth nee n nd Disrrnee «t* lbe Indiannpolirt Journal. — [Huntingion Democrat ] We do not remember that the Democracy of this State were ever anxious for stringent legislation on the temperance question when they controlled the Legislature. Why should they be now, ; unless theyhave a political end to serve ? —7« than apolis Journal. We confess our surprise that a paper of the pretended standing of the Indiananolis Journal should exhibit such ignorance as is manifested in th* above short item. It was in the year 1832, if we mistake not, when the first general law upon the temperance question was passed, and which provided ; "That no license shall be granted to any person residing lin any Ipw nor township where a majority of the freeholders in said town or township shall remonstrate against the granting of the same.' See Rev. Statutes of 1838, p. 582, Sec. 5. This law remainedon the Statute books during the administrations of Govs. Noble, Wallace, Whitcomb, Bigcer, and Dunning, and was generally enforced, as perhaps some of the older citizens of the State will remember. Our readers, together with the astute editor of the paper from which we clip the above item, will observe that the statute of 1832 did not submit the question to a majority of the voters of a township to decide, but left it entirely to the freeholders. The next important legislation upon the question occurred in 1853, when the ; State, was strongly Democratic, having just elected Joseph A. Wright, Governor, and a legislature which was twothirds Democratic in both houses. The law of 1853 provided in section first that no license should be issued except on the sanction of a majority of the voters in the township where the applicant desired to sell, and that he should give bond. The tenth section provided that any wife, child, parent, or guardian might sue fur injuries to person, property, or means of support. We do not care to speak further of these laws except to say that had the .A>«r/i«Z I becn as desiriuus of giving the truth as it has manifested to strike a blow at the Democratic party, its readers would not have discovered that an egregious ass penned the above item. The position of the Journal, and, in fact, we might say with the greater portion of jhe leaders of its party, is a aowering one, and finding the temperance people ot the State terribiy in r nesr and justly indignant at the ar. -umed in this matter men who premised better things, they now pacify by v., irging th< Democrats with some "political ends to serve ’ Such talk is the language of a coward and shows a disposition to equivocate and truckle, hoping that something may turn up to relieve them of the debased position iu which they now find themselves placed. The party that is worthy of support is the party that carries out its pledges, and whether its course carries out their views or conforms to our wishes or not, if it has violated a pledge, made to those who differ with us upon so great a question, we can but turn with loathing from men or party who have thus stultified themselves before the : voters of the country. Did not the leaders of the Republican party, commencing with Governor Porter, give the temperance people of the Stale to understand that they would aid them in their cause it entrusted with the control of tho State Government ? Did not some of the leading men of temperance, even in this county, set up such a claim and labor tor Republicanism throughout the last campaign? Have 1 those pledges been kept? We answer emphatically; no. What respect then, can the temperance people, or for that matter auy voter, or citizen of our State, have for a party or its leadership who thus openly goes back on its niu.-t -acred word I the most moderate temperance man and likewise the most ardent friend to the tree sale of arjent spirits, would as soon trust his salvation iu the hands of his Satanic majesty. as to think of relying upon these men in (he future for the redeeming oi any pledges they might make. That the Republican party of Indiana occupy s such a disreputable position before .ne people of the State there is uo doubt E- ■; a he session of the presem legislature i oil. wa-introduced in the u;i e wnich wv.uld enable the m car;; ■.>- tir pledges. j inai it was referred o ai.u me ..ppoiuted by the Lieutenant Governor, that attempted to smother the bill, and so near did they succeed that it was not until last Tuesday one week that the friends of the i bill succeeded in getting a final vote. Mark the result. The Senate is composed of 25 Republicans and 25 Demi ocrats. Seven Democrats voted for the bill and eight Republicans against it, thereby defeating the measure. This t is enough to atisfy auy consistent tempi i n...e man as to the hones y and in- ! ti.ov of the party ot professions and will also open the eyes of the masses who heretofore gave ear to politicians who designedly misled them and who now occupy the position of the Indiand ipoli- Journal. Consistent Republicans and Democrats as a mass, loath n, | such a position. Out of every 100 inhabitants in th* United States 15 live in cities.
