Tuis kindly mention of Gen. Butler’s designs upon Massachusetts is made by the Rev. James Freeman Clarke and appears in The Louisville Courier-Journal : “A little paragraph has been going the rounds, saying I have proposed Gen. B. F. Butler as Governor of Massachusétts. I bave only referred to him once, and that was in a sermon preached in Boston on Fast Day, on ‘The Humiliation of Massa chusetts,’ in which I spoke of the disgrace whicb bad come upon Massachusetts from her treatment of Charles Sumner; the connection of her members of Copgress with ‘ the Credit Mobilier scandal, and tbeir complicity with the salary grab, I then added that it was understood that a member from Massachusetts, who headed the foray on the Treasury, had annoffnced his intention of being the next Governor of Massachusetts. If he succeeded in this, I said T hoped be would not omit the word humiliation 1n his proclamation, tor certainly Massachusetts would never be more humiliated than by such an event. If Gen. Butler and his friends regard this a 8 & nomination, they are welcome to it.”

A MOHAWK LEGEND. il Srviearonam 11‘ i The Valley of the Mobawk is one of the most picturesque and beautiful in the sworld. | And if it is attractive now, what | m:s; it have been before its acres were gwven to ‘tillage and its mountain, sides robbed of their forest covering? ' . Atone point a high mountain ends on ong Side in a terrible precipice of :E least two'hundred feet, at the base of which : tl.)légn’giVer ralls and tumbies over its rocky ‘Connected with this mountain isa legend which, although never before put in print, still lives in the traditions of the neiﬁhb‘urhood. It ruas as follows: ; More than a hundred years ago Brave Bear wus the youngest and handsomest warrior of a tribe of Indians which dwelt in the Mohawk Vailey. Tall, straight and powerful his physical prowess won for him wide fume among his people. In deed he and White Deer, the chiet’s pretty dauvghter,were the pride nod boast of the tribe ; and as the chief haa po son, the murninge of White Deer with Brave Bear was ultima(él‘y, by geénernl consent, <0 elevate the lutter to the rulership of the trive, - S o ' At/his time white gettlers bad invaded some’ portions ot the Mobawk Valley; and g ithin & few miles f Brave Bear's crit ﬁiréd"u family vumed Barterson,con sisring of u busbaond,wife avd only daughter. s gl Mary Batterson, just past sixteeu, wng fresn, dlooming 4nd bealthy Pure air and eercise kept bher chegks red, her | limbs supple, her spirits buoysut; and the Wiole valiey gould not boust of 'a | pretuer girl. | | Ondday Brave Be.r, wandering near ‘ the clharing, came upen Mary. Probably | tie hud never seen u white girl hefore, or t be bad, not one o uttractive as Mauary. Althoagh a littie frightened by the encounter, for the place was solitary, the | girl was reassured by the Indian’s kindly demespor, Indeed, be showed bis ndmis ratiop so plainly that Mary could not but see it. -He paid her the broadest of com~ pliments in terrible broken Euglish, and fullowed ber to ber own door. Then he .turyed suddenly and was gene. The fact ‘wasg, that the Bavage waus thoroughly 1m pressed by Mary’s coarms, so different from the dusky besuty of White Deer The pele~taced girl was in bis dreams that night, in spite of the praximity ot his marriage to the chief’s duughter. . With an Indian, tredcherous by nature, theevil wish is father to the devd. Brave Beur's suddén love for Mary blinded fim to every other sentiment. All was swal lowed up in a desire to possees the newly tound treasure, and bis scheming brain readily concocted a ‘plan for her abaucs tion. Accustomed to the, proverbial sub mission of Indian women, be imagioed that, once in possession of Mary, She would quietly submit to become his wife. Stealthily watching ber movements jhe goon cavght ber at a sufficient distacce from her bouse to suit his purpose. Selz ing her in his powerful arms, bie bore hr rapidly on. Shescreamed, but no friendly ears heard it., She entreated, but her cdptor only assured ber that that no vios lence was intended. She was, he added, to become his equaw; only he further ex« plained, it would be pecessary for him to hide her for a few days in a safe place. Hig marriage to White Deer was at hand, and although the laws of bis tribe did not prevent ap Indiaa havingtwo or more wives at once, he wisbed to have one mar ital ceremony fairly concluded betore ano&tifr was begun. : i v rave Bear, after carrying his captive gome distance, bade her walk. Knowing the usefulness of resistance, she obeyed. After a while he eecurely blindfulded and led ler, to prevent her. finding the way home in (case she got away.. b

After a walk that seemed of wmany miles to poor Mary, the Indisu stopped and removed the b:ndages from her eyes Upon looking around 88 saw that dense forests surrounded her on’three sides, but the fourth was a nearly perpgndicular rock. Pushing aside the vines which overgrew the latter, the mouth of a small cave was disclosed Into it Brave Bear conducted the girl, The interior had evi~; dently been roughly fitted up for her re ception There was a couch of skins, food, | water, &c.. There she was to remain, as her captor cautiéned her, without ventur. ing more than a .few feet from the entrance. Hethenp left her. ‘ | Mary’s first thought was'to escape, but a moment's reflection convinced lyer that it would be impossible. Tofly would be toolishness, a 8 she would be unablé to find ber way home. ‘There'she determined to | stay, and bope for the best, being at least sufe from hunger. That night she slept but little, and in the morning, her eyes red with weeping, she went out and sat disconsolately upon the trunk of a fallen tree. = . Now -this chanced to -be the day of Brave Bear's marriage to White Deer. Thbe luiter, with heart overflowing with love for the hundsome young warrior,rose | as happy ss a lark, and wandered off into the woods for an eurly walk. : | As she w'enl’, along, she came upon the captive Mary, who still sat crying: The gig'bt of a girl so unhappy, when she hergelf wae so joyous, touched the heart of the Indian maiden with pity. =~ She addressed Mary as well as ber lim ited command of English would permit. The conversation, robbed of its dialect, was as follows : : ' “Why does the white maiden weep?” asked the savage. S “Because she -is in very great trouble,” replied Mary. : e “She is too beautiful to weep; the tears dim the brightness of her-eyes, What is her trouble 2” e : 2 “She has been .carried off —away from home and friends—by a wicked Indian ; and she weeps because she does not wish to remain here” ! ; : “Why did the Indian steal her ?” “To make ber his syuaw.” = 4 ~ “What is his name ?" ! “Brave Bear.” : The swarthy features of the girl grew unearthly pale, and she fell to the ground in a swoon. Hastily bringing some water from the supply in the cave, Mary bathed her temples, and soon had the satisfaction of seeing her open her eyes.

“The white maiden has seen me weak,” she exclaimed, springing to her feet; “now she shall. see me strong. I will save her to her home and friends, and Brave Bear shall lose his pale faced squaw. Ccme.” S " Mary obeyed the command without a word. She felt that her escape depended upon the caprice of the Indian girl, and deemed gilence and obedience the wisest course. : e White Deer led the way through the forest without hesitation, being perfectly familiar with every nook and dell. - A silent walk of an hout brought them to the verge of the precipice described above. Takiog Mary ‘I))y the hand and pointing into the valley below, White Deer said, “Does the white maiden see her home ?” Mary saw familiar )¥ idmarks. ‘. “Yes,"she replied. . " ; “Then gshe can go. This path leads around the cbasm.” e ' _Mary was sbout to thank White Deer for her gervices, but ‘etr‘a,ngq, unpatural ,tp:;{i&; the latter’s wild, Ahigg gk strained ber; and she | hurtied sway in he direction indicated, . = .

~ Mary had gone buta few bundred yards when, upon looking back, she saw her preserver standing upon the very edge of the precipice. Her arms were extended as if in prayer, and her eyes were lifted toward Heaven. Only an instant did sbe remain so, and then she flung herself over the rock. - Mary, borrificd by the spectacle, saw the body whirl down through the air, and fall in a.mangled mass upon the rocks below. - . . R Then she ran until, breathless with fatigue and excitement she reached herown home in safety. = e B -————‘l-o.———-—— bai The Colfax Massacre. ' The New Orleans correspondent of the Bosten Post gives the following yersion of the slanghter at Colfax Court House : There is: nothing in the whole dt this. wretched Business, in - which a hundred negroes and three white men have lost their lives, which gives the slightest greund for an opipion that it was a conflict ot - ces, or a war of parties The binrd, vuked fucts are these. The parish ot Grant hag a population ot 4 500, most ly black The iilegal Dureli~Lyuch board réturned a majority of 614 for Ket logg, and elected the State officers They ‘had vo datn for the parish « fiir ers, and made no return . The Warmorh Formsn bourd returned a m#j wity of the Fusion candidntes as elcctecs, -On the assemnbling of the Legislatare all was quiet in the parish. ~ Ward, colored, went to tbe Biyunet Legislature, nnd Hadnot to the Fusion When it b came evident Louisiana was to be deprived ot her govern - ment, by a force she could not withstand, the Fosion party died. * January 17th Kellogy sent uilist ot parigh .oflicers tor | Grant; all Republicans, to his Seuate, and they were ¢orfirmed unarimously. This, flke nll ucts of -the usurpation, was submitted to. Among these appointers was w white man pumed Shaw, as Sheriff. Af ter this, Keliogg's duplicity commenced. He nsserted his power of < compromise. He wade "extravagant promises to the Fusion leaders. He broke them and made otbers. e cajoled and cheated. He sodthed the anger bf, bis own follow ers one day, and rekindled it the pext. He obtained, without difficulty, the repu tation df being 4he most oatrageovs liar thut ever existed. His radical appointnients and their confirmutién . had been published in the official journal, Even though they had po right to the offices there woald have been no trouble. But l be Lad eomplicated bimself with the Fu - silov members of the Legisliture, ang M~xreh 17th threw the auple of discord nto the ring. He appoioted to the same offices the men returned by “the Forman board, just as Judge Rudiand, the Fu gion leader of tbe parish, and Hadnoot ‘dicrated. Muaich 18th their commissions ‘were mnde out and laid in the office of the Secretary of State, open to inspection. . Their pames were published in the éameﬁr official journal of March 27tb. Thus it was thut the -bloody cbild, the patural offspring of the cohabitation of imbecili ty and duplicity, came into the world. The Radicals bad possession of the offices, with every reason to believe their posses sion w.s lawful. The new appointees, not claiming as fusionists or us whites,nor . even as elected candidates, but solely as appointees of Kellogg and members of the Radicual party, demanded them. They were refused. [he newly appointed Sheriff, Nash, with Hadbot, organized a band of piney woods men from adjoining parishes. These men are lawless and ig ovuraut. They live io the woouds by hunts ing-and fishing. Black coffee is their nectar.and perique tobacco their ambro sia. To blow the roof off & man’s head is not much more exciting than to shoot a deer. They are not the peaceable,quiet p rpulation tbe tale of theoutrages would at tirst suggest. Besides that, they Lad no injary to redress, as they didun’t be long to the parish in question. The negro Ward, who is a natutal born thief and ‘had been caught in the business, with the other radicals, swore in the whole colored populaticn s sheriff's deputies:. Thus the matter stood eighteen daysago. H re was an opportunity for a mun possessing. a particle of resolution, honesty or abilis ty to quell the disturbance with one word. He bad the word ready, but it was one that added fuel to the fire. He comais. stoned a third sheriff, named Wells. He could bave provented bloodshed even then. . Two days would have taken the Metropolitans tbere, and the sight of their blue upiforms and silver buttons would huve been a wet blanket to all the fire ot eitber side. The law perwits bim to transmit this state -force, which is en—listed, organized, armed, drilled, equipped and paid »s a standing army, 10 defiance, a 8 cverything else here 18, of the constitu‘tion of the United States, to uny part of the state, But'he didn’t do it. He appoioted a fourth sheriff! This last was Sam Cuoey, a negro, and his brethren accuse him ot betraying them. As a matter of course this scramble for office, and it was nothing else, came to- a bloody ° termination. ; The negroes were butcber—ed. Shaw, the white Radical Sheriff, perished in the blazing cburt house. Had not wae mortally wounded while answer ‘ ing & flag of truce, and all for no princi . ple on either side, no claim of opposition to the will of the people, no oppression | of white or black, but merely the lustful greed of offite and 'bad men oncboth sides, satanically aided by the duplicity and imbecility of this miserfble, vacillating, contemptible, carpet bagging son of a Vermont circuit preacher. 2 kb e W HISHER,

Religion and Pleasure Combinoed. Some pious and - practical Methodists | of Eastern Delaware have hit on a happy idea of mixing pleasure, profit and reli: gion. It being the custom of tbe church to -hold annual camp meetings, it has oc curred to many that it would be desirable. to hold them near the sea shore where the pleasures of sea bathing could be en- | joyed at the same time, without the re. straints of fashion. ' Accordingiy a num ber of leading Methodists a few months since formed ‘what they calla “Camp Meeting Association,” and purchased a tract of land containing ‘about 350 acres on which they haveilaid out a town., It lies just outside of Cape Henlopen, on Delaware Bay, and issaid to be beantifully situated and easy of access. Here it is proposed to, found a regular Metho dist watering place. Each .year a camp meeting will be held in the grove that fringes the upper edge of. the shore; but, of course, it will cover but a very small :portion of what is known as the watering season. Although the incorporated body is called a Camp Meeting Association, the two weeks devoted to religious services will ‘be an incident 1n the summer existence of the projected village,and not -the wkole of it, as the name might imply. Carrying out the fundamental idea that there should be no extravagance connect ed with the enterprise, the ‘price of lots was fixed at $6O. :Abaut. 500 lots. were soll on this basis, the purchasers (some 9250 in ‘number). becoming stockholders, and each one having an equal vote in the management of the corporation. . The 'pfdpg‘fj' cost $O,OOO, and §25,000 was forthwith réalized from the sale of lots, The place is called ‘Rehoboth, and ‘bids fair to, become & very attractive resort | for religious:people, . . ~.. .. .

Showing His Daddy How to Grunt.

. THEHKANSAS MURDERERS, ' - The story of the discovery of the body of Dactor York and tbe other murdered victichs of the Bender family, in Labette ‘cuung‘%’ Kansas. sounds like the tales of -murderand robbery which, yearsago, were related round the fumily hearthstone, .while children hid their faces.ln terror ‘and huddled closer together as they crept to their beds after the recital. - e |+ All .the surroundings are here in this tale of ‘reality that added idterest and fascination to those stories of ehildhood. A lonely tavern on a lonely road; a stiange family in charge of it; a trap door, a well beoeath, and a gang of reckless murder--ers, men and women, to entice the trayelér, supply his supper and bed, and ~while unconscious rob and murder him. - The Bender family consisted of four persons, all adults—Bender, his wife and “duughter, and a son. -They are supposed, bowever, to have bad accomplices. The -daughter was a Spiritualist, and professed to be a_healing medium. Sbe adver“tised berself as such in the neighooring papers, and doubtless & number were at. ‘tracted to the spot by this means who “oever left it alive. ‘ : : . - Persons coming trom a distance to visit “the daughter kept the matter quiet thro’ fear -of ridicule; and this éxplains the fact that, shough people have beea mys teriously disappearing 1n their neighborhood for some time, no suspicions were excited until the sudden andralwgetb‘et unaccountable loss of Dr. York. On the - 9¢h of March Dr. York, (brother of Sen: ator York, who gained so wide a-notori-ety through his connection with the ‘Pomeroy case) left Fort Scott for his ‘home in Tndependence, Kan. He was ‘mounted on a valuable horse,and bad a large sum of modey with him - The time “pasecd for bis arrival at howe, but he did _not cowe. 'As bis abscnce grew pro-r longed, fears were excited for bis safety. His brotber left for Fort Scott to inquire ‘tor him, and learned that be bad departed’ from there at tbe daté rbove stated. Sew -curing assistance, Col. York praceeded, to trace the missing man, He was fol‘flowed as-far as Cherryvale, a small town on the Leavenworth & Kansas/'Railway, ahout two miles from the home of'the Bender family. Therdall traces'of Him were lost. Inquiries were made of the family, .but they stated that no person answering the description -had been seen by them. Buspicion bad not. yet settled upon them, and perbaps would not had ‘it not been for their own conduct. It is. supposed that they became alarmed at the urgency with which the search was prosecuted,for they suddenly disappeared. The premises were shortly after examined, hut for some time no discoveries were made. At last a trapsdoor was found in a gleomy room, and, liftiog this, some of the party descended into a sort of well ‘beneath, ‘the! bottom of which was ‘thick ‘with clotted blood. Horror stricken, the men-prosecuted their search with renewed energy, and at last in the garden in the rear of.the house discozered the body of the missing York. It was divested of .clothing and buried face downward in a grave or hole about two feet deep. An -examination showed, that the skull bhad been fractured with a heavy weapon, pre—sumed now to have been a hammer, two of wbich were fouand in the.house. A further search revealed more graves, and at latest accounts eight other bodies had .been discovered, .one of them that of a little girl who had been murdered with ~her father. The excitement consequent on 'the unearthing of this wholesale slaughter is intense, and as usual in such cases, injustice is liable to be done to innocent parties. . ; _ | A man named Brockman, who, as far as | appears, bad nothing to do with the mur--der, was seized by the mob, which had a | vague suspicion that he knew something’ regarding the crime, and was strung up ‘toa beam in the house until the breath was nearly choked out of him in order to secure a confession. This was thriee repeated, the last time life being pmn@oqagc' ¢d extinct befcre he was cut dpwn, but fortunately this was not the case, and theé man was at last permitted to depart. . The monstrous crimes that have been perpetrated by the Bender family, shocking and scarcely credible as they are, caa not be atoned by the sacrifice of innocent lives, and it is to be hoped that wise councils will prevail and the law permitted to'take its course. 'At last accounts no tidings had been received of the mar‘derers; but rewards are offered, word has been ‘sent in every direction, and it is | thought that these unparalleled fiends canaont escape arrest.—lnter- Ocean.

Vinegar as a Protective Against g Small Pox.: | . Dr. Roth, of Lubeck, discovered that common yinegar is an efficaciotis protec--tive against infection by small pox. As this disease is prevailing to some extent in this country, we give an extract of the extended article in the Medical and Sur‘gical Reporter for March ;! Y - All persons who came 1n direct -or indirect contact with a small pox patient, were subjected to the-vinegar treatment, and with much benefit. ~ Healthy adults were ordered two table~spoonfuls of common vinegar,either with or without water," to be taken one bour after breakfast, and towards evening for tourteen days; for balf grown, or, particularly delicate persons, -three fourths of a table spocnful once or twice daily will suffice. They . shéuld avoid the sick room as much'as pussible; enjoy plenty of fresh air, and guard against cold ; the sick 'chanyber is to be fumigated with vinegar vapor twice daily. = - : / Itynqoms doubtful to Dr, Roth, whether the few abortive puetules which he saw appearing after the vinegar treatment convey any degree of infection, as he hm{ frequent opportunities.of observing, tbat persons with such, commupicated’ frequently with others; without having intected any one; nevertheless, he orders them repeatedly to be washed with vineger, in order to render them harmless.

Grant for a Third Term, : - {Daily Graphic.] : It is telling no secret in saying that thase Presidential progresses have an important political significance, and that ‘General Grant is a candidate for reelection for.a third term. A good many people laughed at Frank Blair when he said that if Grant once got a seat in the Presidential chair he would never willicgly resign it. President Grant has manifested just that sedative tenacity which Blair prophesied; and has evidently come to re: gard the goverrment as his own private property. . S i ¢ f—— .
