The Election—Democratic Ticket Elected—Indian Affairs—Horse Shoe Ranche Attacked by Indians —More Indian Depredations. ----- ST. LOUIS, April 8.—Sedalia and Jefferson City elected entire Radical tickets yesterday. In Kansas City the Democratic ticket was elected with the exception of the Auditor, City Marshal and one Alderman, Harris, Democrat, for Mayor, has 200 majority, but ran considerably ahead of his ticket. In Leavenworth the full Democratic ticket, with the ex- ception of Treasurer, for which office no Democrat was nominated, was elected by majorities ranging from four to seven hundred. This will be th e first full Democratic administration for six years. National politics and the support of the Kansas dele- gation in Congress were prominent issues in the election. The city of Carondelet, six miles below here, elect ed a full Democratic ticket yesterday. Timothy S. Fitch, a prominent citizen of Chicago, was fined five hundred dollars in the Court of Criminal Correction to-day, for misdemeanor and alleged false swearing in connection with a suit with Captain Bruner some five years ago. A motion for a new trial will be made. ST. LOUIS, April 8.—The entire Democratic ticket was elected here yesterday. The Democrats have eight out of ten Councilmen. An Omaha special to the <Democrat> says: A reliable letter from Fort Laramie, dated the 1st, says the Indian Agents and contractors for Indian goods, are suppressing authentic reports of Indian affairs, and doing everything to prevent the true state of affairs from being made public. The following are only a part of the depredations committed: The last week in March fifty Indians attacked a ranche on Batter [sic] Cottonwood 20 miles west of the Cheyenne and Fetterman road, killing one boy and carrying off the ranchman's wife; the ranchman and another boy escaped to where seven whites lodge. The Indians attacked the house, but were repulsed, leaving one dead horse on the ground. On March 22d a hundred Indians attacked Horse Shoe Ranche, forty . miles west, occupied by Worrell, for- merly of the 11th Ohio cavalry. His partner, Thornber, and another man, having plenty of arms and ammunition, the whites defended the ranche until night, and then escaped into an underground passage way, with loopholes, from whence they kept up a fire, killing two Indians and wounding several. The Indian's, in the meantime, burned the building, stables, &c., valued at $6,000. Early next morning Worrell's party escaped to Irvin Spring Ranche, three miles east, where four more whites were lodged. The entire party started for Cottonwood Ranche, fifteen miles beyond. After proceeding about six miles they were attacked by sixty Indians. After a long fight, in which Harper and David Dunpicr and another white man were killed, and Worrell wounded and five Indians killed, the parties held a council, the Indians agreeing if the men returned and gave up the goods at Irvin Spring Ranche, they would he allowed to go unmolested. This was done, and the Indians then burned the ranche. Worrell and three others were brought in by a company of troops, and the killed were buried where they were found. .March 24th.— A ranche on the road between Chung Creek and Fort Fetterman was burned. Nothing has yet been heard of the occupants. The Indians are stealing stock and committing all kinds of depredations, unchecked. The settlers between Forts Fetterman and Laramie have all gone to the military posts for protection. March 25th—Two settlers, living on Laborta [sic] Creek, were attacked by 70 Indians, yesterday. Their buildings were burned and their property destroyed. The men escaped to Fort Fetterman. ---<>--- IOWA. ----- Railroad Matters. ----- DAVENPORT, Iowa, April 8.—J. F.
