L* TUB Winnipeg difficulty is ended at last. I'Jk Rod River New Nation of June 29th says tliat on the 231 the Legislature as-

THE Holly Water Work? seem to be 'i rapidly gaining in public favor. Within a few daya the company has entered into ®4?-contracts with several cilics for- the crccjl tion of their machinery. Among the lo1?" calities which have taken thin progressive #fe,6«tep, we notice Evansville, ii this State, and Cumberland, Maryland. We are "I 4 satisfied that our city must noon arrange •r apermanent and abundant .supply of I* ter, and the Holly fiystcin .seerus to be 'er adapted to our wants than any of which we have any knowledge. ^5"'-' Aca

V? in cavilings of certain fanatics con^^.ning' the Christianity of CnARLES DICKENS reminds a correspondent of the

Tribune of an anecdote in the life of GOETIIE, by LEWES, in which it is related ... lliat, at a dinner party, certain pietist? were throwing up their eyes and regretting that GOETIIE had no! more purely devoted himself to the service of Christian truth I etc. Cablyle sat grim, ominously Bilent, till at last, in his slow, eraphatic way, he said: "Gentlemen, did you n«vor hoar the story of that man who vilified the sun because it would not light his cigar."

WE DESIRE to say to the home organ of our M, C. that there is no man in the United States more inviting to the shafts of personal ridicule than is l). W. VOOKJIEES and there is no man, woman or girl more keenly sensitive than he is, under such attacks. If, therefore, the organ desires'to run this canvass on that line, it may get much more than emmgh of it. Our readers prefer dignified discussion of measures, rather than ridiculous comments on men, and we nppiove theii preference. But if Vooraw:i:s, through his organ or organs, persists in.personalities, he may be favored with a few pon pictures sufficiently graphic anil interesting to spico the campaign.

2 TNE vory loose and uubiwiiiess-like manner in which our Democratic County Commissioners have conduced advertis ing and lcttiug of conUacis for bridge building attracts much n!ten'ion. To ad vertise for bids, on such wo. ks, without plans and speciiicaiions, is a piece of folly—to put ii mildly—thai is far tvom creditable to those officers. It deprives the county of fair competition, which is grossly unjust and it affords'an opportunity to bung accusations against the

Commissioners whijoh thoqc gentlemen should have avoided. We propose to look into the matter fully, and if there is any party jobbery in it, the people shall be duly notiGed thereof. In the mean' time we advise the Coiuniissione to conduct public business wUh at least an approach to such fairness as would bo required of them in privata business-trans anions.

ALLUDING to Mr. DUNN'S recent speech in this city, the <Journal> says: His main point of discussion is the land fraud swindle to the Northern Pacific Railroad, a measure passed by a radical Congress and approved by a radical President.

Our neighbor might have added that the "measure" was advocated and approved by the Terre Haute <Journal>, and opposed by almost the entire Republican press of the country.

The <Journal> further charges that Mr. DUNN misrepresents the course of VOORHEES on the land-grab business.—

We do not so understand it. Mr. DUNN proves how Mr. V. voted by reference to the <Congressional Blobe>, and that shows our M. C. to have been on both sides of the question. He was <for> the grant, or grab, until it became evident that the bill would get through without his vote; then he suddenly changed tack, and sailed in quietly <against it>.. This is the simple truth, plainly stated, and no amount of assertion can make is appear otherwise.

Does anybody suppose the <Journal> would have been in favor of the N. P. R. R. bill, had that organ regarded the position of Mr. VOORHEES as opposed to it? Certainly not. And if his course was so tortuous as to deceive the <Journal>, is it in good taste for that paper to accuse others of misrepresenting him?

Like the locomotive that rushes, with a train attached, towards a depot, until a sudden movement of a switch sends the engine off in another direction, wvhile the cars move into the station, so VOORHEES moved grandly along the land-grabbers' route, with the <Journal> rumbling at his rear, until policy switched him off, and left the <Journal> to make the balance of the trip on the strength of acquired momentum. And now, having distinguished itself as the only paper, in this part of the country, capable of working in the interest of the land-grabbers, and having done this in the confident belief that it was supporting Mr. VOORHEES all the while, we respectfully submit that it cannot, with any degree of decency, undertake to expound VOOKHEES' views or explain his votes. If it defends him, it assuredly condemns itself: and that is more than the law requires of any witness.

COUNCIL*AX O'COXHEIX has a card in the Journal complaining that the Ex-rans-faanrrooged idm ftt charging him with unfriendliness to the Public Schools, He admits that he UBed the language attributed to him that he opposed the levy of fifteen tents on the hundred dollars, because—we quote from hi* card—: "There are nearly 600 children that never receive any benefit of the public schools."

Now if Mr. O'Connell will show why that argument, if it would justify a reduced levy, would not be still stronger in favor of no levy at all, vill admit that we have misunderstood him. Bnt the Councilman should not forget that all the hard words contained in our article were quoted from very high Catholic authorities. They show the most intense hatred of the public school system. Does Mr. 0'Co"NELL denounce thera? We think not.

THE EXPEESS intimates that there may have been some "jobbing" in the recent bridge lettings by the Board of Commissioners. If that be the case the political friends of the EXPRESS have received nearly all the benefits of such a transaction —<Journal>.

We do not know that there has been anything worse than a very discreditable display of bungling ignorance or incapacity "in the recent bridge lettings;" but if there has been "jobbing," it matters not whether the persons benefitted are Republicans or Democrats. The Board is Democratic, and that party is entitled to the honor or disgrace accruing from its action. We know that the county was deprived of the benefit of fair competition, because no prudent business man could put in a bid without knowing what he would be required to do. Does the <Journal> approve the action of he Board in this matter? Let us have a direct answer. ———<>———

THE radical candidate for Congress talks French 1—Journal. But you never heard it intimated that he talked treason, or found his chief delight in holding sweet intercourse with rebel leaders. He was never accused of talking to' Sons of Liberty and stirring them up to acts of .murderous violence. He may talk French, Spanish, Italian or German for aught that we know, or care, so long as his record is free from the damning stain of talking in aid of rebels wko were seeking to destroy his country. There is forgiveness for Mr.

OAN,

THE Indianapalis [sic] and St. Louis Railroad is uow open for travel and freight. Another splendid line is added to our almost incomparable railroad facilities. Another of those potent influences which if properly improved and supplemented, make cities great, is set to work in our behalf. Without entering at all into the feeling that may exist between rival lines, we can never be wrong in congratulating the public upon the completion of such a work. It opens up new avenues of trade, increases the business of our merchants and manufacturers, and gives the people the benefit of eompetition in the transportation of the goods they consume or sell, and the products of their farms and factories. All railroads, then must be regarded as conducive to the public good and the press but fairly represents the public sentiment in urging their construction and rejoicing at their completion. ———<>———

THE Democratic papers of this District are devoting a large proportion of their inestimably valuable space to a combined assault upon Mr. DUNN. In doing this they arc butting their crazy heads against a rock, a»d gnawing a filo. The damage will be confined to the assaulting party. But the most" gratifying fact, in this connection, is their very patent acknowledgement that, like VOORHEES, they see danger ahead. He saw this danger, long ago, and left his seat in the House to come home ancl dry-'nurso his withering prospects. His allies of tho Democratic press h:eve now caught the panic, and it will gorsn spread throughout the party. All thai otir friends have to do to compass the utter and overwhelming defeat of VOOR HEES and his party, is to bring out the Republican vote of thislDistrict'on election day. This can be done by proper effort, and we are assured that the effort will qot be spared. Let Republicans, in every township, go to work in firm cmitidenoe that, if they hut do their duty, the Congressional career of D. W. VOORIIEKS will terminate with the present session.

'THAT class of newspaper"—says the Chicago Republican—"that do little but denounce the President, his Cabinet, and friend?—that assail ?nd ridicule the poliov of the Adurnistration—that belie the action and purposes of Congress—and vie iih the Democratic press in misrepresentation, fallacy and falsehood—must be blessed with considerable cheek to affect represent Republicans. Like parasites, they fastened on the party until it ceased to yield them sustenance, or proved refractory to their demands, and rendered their nothingness transparent to the eye but, unlike the parasite, they tnrn away from 'the only support that nourished them, and sffect a loathing for the foot! they have preyed on, now that it is no longer in their grasp. They would betray the party because they cannot control it. Dogmatic on points upon which the greatest men have differed with a vanity puffed up to the collapsing point, they assume to decide for a great party the exteht and measure of its principles— to draw their little chalk line and whatever does not yield and stand on its margin, is disposed of with a iordiy wave of the hand."

YESTERDAY

DUNN,

HORSEY and

Independent. Such summary action would materially reduce the radical majority in Lawrence con ty.—Journal.

On tho contrary, it would destroy the Democratic party for in Lawrence coun ty, as i% every other, ninety per cent tho "pestiferous loafers and thieves" vote the Democratic ticket without a "scratch." And wherever "loafers and thieves" are most numerous, there Democracy has its strongholds. We do not charge that all Democrats belong to either of those class es, for there are .iime well-meaning men in that party. But we do charge that Democracy has nearly an exclusive mon opoly of the votes of "pestiferous loafers and thieves," and a comparison of elec tion returns with criminal statistics proves our statement corrcct.

of the Knights of Pythias, in* Indiana, and was duly observed by the order throughout Ihe State, i,.

THOSE exceedingly fastidious Demo*t cratic papers, the Sullivan Democrat^ an TEIWWAUTE" J(^RNA^TIDFIRALTIRITH DUNN'Sspeeches, became—as the Demo cral charges—?»e violatewsftein rules of grammar. It is possible that,-ln an eztempore talk with the people, Mr. Draw maj have been^gnilty of Using a pronoun in the wrong,case! It is a very grave matter, and wie want better evidence than that of theDemoeral before conceding his guilt! But we are quite sure that an entirely grammatical address, delivered to an audience of Sullivan county Democrats, would be utterly wasted on the most of them. One might as well rend HOMER to them, in the original tongue, as to speak in perfect accordance with the rules of LINDLEY MURRAY or GOULD

BROWN. And if Mr. DUNN,

when he goon to thatconnty, has the good sense to drop pure English, and come down to the local dialect of his Democratic hearers, he displays a degree of practical shrewdness that will command the respect of common-sense men. Adaptability is an important element in the character of a public man. A style that would "bring down the house" in an address before the alumni of Harvard or Yale, would be hissed by an audience of plain, honest, working people in Indiana, or any other State. To insist that Mr. DUNN shall talk with grammatical accuracy on all occasions, is to demand that he shall make himself incomprehensible to the great mass of the Democracy in this District.

CAN the Journal give us the names of the two prominent Democrats from Terre Haute who recently tried to seduce a colored barber, at Bockville, into a promise to vote the Democratic ticket? Can theJournal tell which of them gave him half a dollar? And doe3 it know whether,the other one has sent hipa thoso- two razors that he promised to send?

THE New York Tribune is grieved because Congress refuses to remote tho "political disabilities"—that is, the disqualicotions for holding a Federal office—of Gustavus W. Smith, a citizen of New York who went South to join the rebelarmy, and of Basil Duke, one of the Morgan raiders, so pleasantly remembered in this part of the country.

THE platform of the Republican party, in its last analysis, is embodied in the Declaration of Independence, which was read all over the country on the Fourth of July. It is not surprising that the Democracy feel nervous when they hear that document read. It embodies living truths,, which must be felt as a constant reproach to the Democratic party.

SECRETARY FISH will undoubtedly succeed Mr. Motley, if the latter is re called from England. All talk of the appointment of Wendell Phillips, or oth er eminently unsuitable persons, to this place, is mere idle gossip. The change has probably been already determined on.

HON. L. S. TRIMBLE has been thrown overboard in the First Kentucky District, and Edward Crossland nominated in his stead. The convention reiterated its "adherence to the great principles of Democracy, that this Government was made for white men, and that white men should rule the same."

The S!.xtli Indiana District. From tho Cincinnati Chronicle.] Hon. D, \i. Yoorhees will have a close run in i'ae. Terre Haute District.

He put forth all his energies on that occasion, and came out barely 128 ahead, as follows: Counties, Sullivan Grocno Owen Clay Vigo Parke Vermillion Monroe Lawronco

Then again, as if to keep ln5 odious record during the war still fresh in public recollection, his friends had the wonderful tact to make Andrew Humphreys the presiding officer over ehe convention which nominated him. This stamps the whole proceedings with the seal of the treas-ous"Sons of Liberty,:'of which order on Humphreys was a Major General, as proved on the trial which ended in his conviction and punishment for treasonable conspiracy. For years past, Voorhees has been laboring to rid himself of the infamous odor of that organization, and was just beginning to b# credited with innocence of any connection therewith when herecomes the convention of his friends and publicly "adorns" himwith the regalia of the detested order, and so starts him on his race. With this renewal of the old situation there come up afresh the many recollections during the war—how lie Aade himself so much detested by the soldiers, that at one time he narrowly escaped 'nchmg and how, at the very begin rang of secession, he publicly proposed and drank tO"this sentiment: "South Carolina—One State thank God, that will not submit to be governed bv Abolitionists.

He iinds'trcuble, also, even among the Bourbon Democracy of the retrogressive tvpe. The development of certain industrial enterprises in one^ part of his district has rendered Mr. Voorhees ten-der-footed on the Tariff question in Congress during the present session. He has not dared to stand square up to the old Calhoun idea of Free Trade. He has stood in awe of the Protectionists, l!ke our own Strader, and trimmed his sails to catch the breeze when the .^d blows favor of American industry, fctill ht? previous utterances and record will permit him no compensating advantages am one the manufacturers and workingmen,Tn place of what he loses the confidence of the Free Traders.

There are other vulnerable pomts in the record and status of Mr. voorhees which will come oat in due season, and need not now be particularized. He announces that this will be po^veljhis "last lime of asking" for votes. He was warned .two years ago, and sees clearly in thehear future that the Ude setting in with overwhelming force against him. When the votes are counted ln Octoba* it will probably strike him very forcibly that 1» has ran jut once more than to ought to have done.

With only this slender margin to go upon, Voorhees, mindful of his professional relations as attorney for a Pacific Railroad corporation, voted for the first measure in the grand combination scheme of the land-grabbers, and dodged the next —seeing that it would go safely through without his vote. He will have to answer in this canvass to a constituency that is sensitive on this subject, and whom he cannot delude with pettifogging explanation.

I Often Intimidated by .fhicTtg and Marder/crs—They are it Last

Cleared Out.

From the Galveston Hew, Joly2.J BERNARD, June 29,1870. EDITOR NEWS: YOU will find the following account of the late troubles in Matagorda county reliable:

For^some year or more last past there has been" located upon Tres Palacious Creek—west of the Colorado in Matagorda county— an organized band of outlaws, who have been engaged in steal' ing horses, slaughtering the cattle of other persons, robbing and murdering. They became so bold as to send defiance to the officers of the law, and to threaten them and all others who might interfere with their villainous work, with death. The sheriff of the county, who, by the way, is consistent Republican and recently elected, has now a letter written to him by one of these cattle pirates, threatening him with death upoB sight, for informing another person that the writer of the letter was in the possession of a stolen horse. The neighboring citizens were intimidated by the boldness and ferocity of these pillagers, and dared not lay claim to-them, nay, even to rce ognise them for fear of butchery.

For the better execution of their infamous purposes, they had erected a large pen in a secluded spot, where they were in the habit Of herding and slaughtering the cattle of others. After slaughtering the eattle, the hides were stripped off and sent to Indianola for sale or shipment, ^lorc than one boat load of these hides were seized st Indianola and recognized by the brands to belong to persons other than the shippers and claimers. Still the authorities and the neighbors were overawed by the boldness and cruelty of the malefactors, and dared not attack them in their5 strongholds. Among" others two freedmen had perished at their hands, and two white lnen, for the money they carried, 'were murdered, robbed, and.sunk in the water by means of an old stove attached to. their bodies.

Horses and mules were stolen even from distant counties, and herded in their fastnesses hntil they could be carried off .and sold. No man's property, was his own, and no man's life was safe in the vicinity of the pillagers and assassins. They deged the laws, revelled in crime and bloodshed, and were fattening upon the wrongs done to the innocent and .worthy.

Vengeance at. lepgth overtook them. About t^n days ago a large body of armed -men assembled near the den of these oUtlawS one was captured near his house, and two others were chased, down upon the prairie and captured. They were the ringleaders of the band they were carried to the principal scene of their criminal exploits, their cattle-pen. and there, after confessing rnatfy of their infamous crimes were'hulig to the gate of the pen. Like Ham'an of old, they were hung to the gal lows they had themselves erected.

The recital of their crimes freezes the blood, and th% scene near this cattle-pen -beggars description.' Thousands of car•casses of catthe, stripped of their lades, in every stage of purification and decay, lay for miles around, the silent witnesses of the crimes there committed, an immense Golgotha, a charnel-house of stench and bones and rottenness, hecatombs of victims sacrificed to the genius of crime and plunder.

It nearly passes belief that such things should have happened within a day's ride of Matagorda court house, and that the infamous perpetrators should so long have been almost Unhindered, the scourge and terror of the people. Immense bundles ofhides, too, ready for shipment, and embracing almost every brand on the range, were discovered, and scores of horses and mules with defaced and altered brands and marks. It is estimated that not less than ten thousand head' of cattle, belonging to different persons, had been killed by these outlaws, for hides alone. -Two of the persons hanged were brothers, by name, Lunn, and the third was one John Smith, whose numerous namesakes will, no doubt, not insist on claiming kin with him.

The hanging of these three' men, though an extreme measure, is felt by all who know the facts, to have been an act of simple justice. The laws were powerless, and the right to punish crime, so bold, so horrible as this, reverted to the people whence all power is derived. When laws—the artificial power created by the people, the sum of natural rights relinquished by individuals for general good—fails to protect life and property, as in this case, then the "absolute right of person,"-to preserve which the laws are made and society formed, "the right the right of personal security, of personal liberty and the right of private property," justify good people in protecting themselves, their families and their property, even at the cost of the lives of the guilty.

After the execution of the outlaws, a part of the other assembly came upon a cabin near Elliot's old ferry, on the Colorado, inwhich a negro, a desperate villain and one of the gang of freebooters, was found. With a view to making him disclosc the hiding places of others, they called on him to come out and surrender. He advanced to the door and fired, killing young Edward Anderson, of Wharton, and was himself thereupon shot down.

It was supposed that there were at least two hundred and fifty men engaged in this wrolc, representing five or six counties, whose citizens had Buffered from villainies of these notorious prowlers. Their depredations had extended even to Austin and Washington counties, and to Gonzales in the we3t, and perhaps farther.

No such crime lias ever been revealed since the days of John A. Mursill and Monroe Edwards, and let us hope-this signAl punishment will purify the social atmosphere, and bring back peace and security, and with that prosperty.

Any further develop ments I will communicate. Very, truly yours. JAVELIN.

TheEnropcan Entanglement. From tho Indianapolis Journal.] If there is no more in the Spanish imbroglio than appears on the surface if the monarchists of the Cortes have- pitched upon Leopold, Hohenzollern, for their King, simply because he unites a larger' number of negative virtues than another, is of royal blood without being a ruler, is of Catholic descent without Protestant antipathies, of acceptable character without formidable abilities, a good man to put in ahote that inust be filled and if Prussia has no further concern in the choice than acceding to it as an affair to which she has no right to object, wc may pretty safely conclude that there will be no war in Europe, for all the threatening indications that are flashing along the horizon. The governments of Prussia and France hate each other and fear each other, and their people are more disposed to encourage than repress the more dangerous of these feelings, but a war means too much mischief to both to be hurried into on any unpremeditated occasion. France, we believe, 5n be placated by assurance that Prussia, has had nothing to do with the suggestion of Leopold's^ a me to Prim and his supporters, and dees not mean to give the choice any'further countenance than she might give to the election of a Presi-. dent of the United States. The menacing cloud of hints that garrisons are gathering to camps,officers hastening from furloughs, army corps moving to the frontiers, and fleets gathering in the Mediterranean, will be dissipated as speedily as it has arisen. For, without the full approbation of Prussia, Spain will not dare to choose a King against the -armed protest of France. It would be suicide, and the Spanish monarchists have shown themselves to be shrewd enough to measure their condition pretty accurately. Reduced to an

affair between the Cortes and Napoleon, an available candidate for one, and peril to the other, the case becomes simple enough. Leopold will be dropped, and another candidate for the Spanish throne will be sent to the "Limbo" of lost royalty. already uncomfortably full.

But Longfellow tells us, in the awkwardest line in the English language, that "things are not what they seem, and below these surface-carrents may be moving another which really causes all the commotion. If Spain ia acting upon the suggestion of, or in .concert with, Prussia, the chances for a fight are good. If Bismarck, whose Macehiavellianism is credited with all the deviltry of Europe from the North Cape to the Gulf of Otranto, be really seddng good place rm of Prusgiaii pqwer, and it means to kc*|» ttj the

Prnmia twenty years ago, and the son doubtless has as warm an attachment to the government as its subject, as he has to its head as the chief of his family. Whatever a King of Spain could do Leopold would be very apt to do, to farther the aimi of Prussia. A commercial marine, a place as a first-class maritime power, is one of those aims, and the vii» tual possession of the finest portion of the Mediterranean, would be a long step towards it. The election of Leopold lies so happily in the~line of Prussia's purposes, that it is not hard to believe that Prussia prompts it. Moreover, it lies as fully in the line of her grudge against France. Accepting thefhypothesis that Bismarck has contrived all that has happened— and his refusal to give any satisfactory explanation in reply to the demand of France lends color to the suspicion—a .war is one of the most likely things in the world.

France has three excellent reasons for fighting rather than giving Prussia a hold below the Pyrenees: 1st. She is humiliated by Prussia's power as it is, and to allow it to be increased would be intolerable degradation. 2d. France wants the Mediterranean to be a "French Lake," and this Spanish interference deranges a long series of calculations, in which the Suez Canal forms a conspicious element. 3d. Prussia is pressing unpleastantly along the Rhine, and France can not ajfford to give her a chance to press as unpleasantly along the Pyrenees. That would very nearly enable Prussia to lock her arms around her rival. And one more reason, as potent as either of them Napoleon has twice been conspicuously out-generaled by Bismarck, in the Austrian war and the Luxembourg affair, and he Cannot allow a third triumph, still greater, without a loss of prestige that might endanger his dynasty in spite of the plebiscite. He means fight, beyond doubt, And, as we have said, whether there will be a fight depends on Prussia's connection with the candidacy of Leopold for the Spanish throne, and her disposition to press the advantage it will give her at the hazard of war. If she is no more mixed up in it than is England or Austria, or-has no purpose to subserve, or none that will outweigh a war, she will leave Spain to take care of herself, and that will be an end of the alarm. We attach far more importance to Bismarck's silence under France's demand for an explapation, than we do to all the military mutterings that the telegraph reports. Spain will be easily settled when "the man of blood and iron" is out of the way.
