I ocen serving so long in .the desert districts of Texas, particularly the tenth infantry. ' A ft - m 7 and the colored troops, may be transferred to duty in the vicinity of civilization. Len. Ord sends with his report a letter from Judge Paschal, relating to an alleged attack upon a certain Lipar camp, which hadremaiaed for over a year in the vicin- ny oi ouuia noua, an American xown, under the protection of the townspeople. who were profitting by traffic of plunder, brought by Indians from Texas. Atten tion is called to the relations between the Indians of this section and several of the Mexican towns, particularly San Carlos. These relations are peculiar, and are usually at war with the people of both countries. 1 hey have, however, friendly leagues with certain towns, where they trade and receive supplies, arms, am munition, fcc., for stolen mules. This is undoubtedly the case with the people of San Carlos, who also have ami cable relations with the Comanches, Who make San Carlos a depot of arms in their annual excursions into Mexico. It seems also that Chihuahua not receiving the protection it was entitled to from the central government of Mexico, made an independent treaty with the Comanches, the practical result of which was to aid and abet the Indians. Such a condition of affairs is thought by Ord to be worthy of the consideration of both the Mexican and United States governments. A.n extract is enclosed from the rtrtor- diro, the official paper, of Monterey, capi- lai oi Aew ix.'on, ana.neaaqnariers oi xne military commander of the army of -Northern Mexico. This article, which is regard- edjas ex-Catheda, show?f gays Gen. Ord, that the Indians we -have so continually complained of are a terror to the country ihey have always lived in an immense unexplored and rugged region contiguous to the United Statas. They are natural robbers and murderers, and the Mexican government, notwithstanding that three or four of its northern states were so long ex posed to and raided upon by them, did not or could not send any relief until now. 1 he article also shows that these Indians have murdered indiscriminately in Texas and Mexico, as has been reported by me be fore. Gen. Howard recommends greater atten tion to rifle practice and thinks it would be of advantage to the service if teams from the regular army could be broupht into occasional friendly competition with the volunteer force.

Pope deems it within his povince to inform those in power of a condition of anairs from which changes of civil funtionaries are no remedy. Methodist Matters. Philapei.phia," Pa., Nov. 8.

We have purposely held back our week ly edition that we might give our reader the most reliable news, and above all' in the hope to be able to announce a grand and glorious Democratic victory had been achieved in this congressional district. Our renders will pardon the delay when we tell them the glorious news that the gallant Capt. Kithin has been triumphant ly elected in this district bv a majority o'f about 1,3 -'0. - ' ' Indications are that the gallant Waddell has been beaten j by the notorious Radical, ex-Judge Russell, by a small majority, and if this should prove true, it will be a last ing burning shame to those democrats in the district who either failed to vote or gave aid and comfort to Russell. Old ayne county has covered herself all over with glory and sends greetings of joy throughout the district and the whole fetate. Ihe Vance vote ol 186 has been increased fully one hundred, while in almost- every other county there is report ed heavy tailing on. Col. addell's Detcat. Raleigh Observer. Alfred Waddell is now a man of Na tional reputation, and we doubt if there is a State in the Union in which regret would not be felt and expressed at his failure to be re-elected. As to the special causes of the defeat that now seems so imminent, if any there be, we lack the necessary infor mation to speak at present. A fatal over confidence in their own strength among Democrats, and a fatal over-confidence in the weakness of their enemy, together with the severe illness of their leader com pelling him to leave the field in the midst of the campaign afford however not only self-evident but sufficient explanation of tbe untoward result we all so much deplore. It is not to be denied that the election of Russell would be a disgrace to the Cape fear District, but while we say this, it is not our purpose to utter a word to aggra vate the feelings of shame and mortifica tion that we know so well possess the souls of the Democrats of the Third District this morning. We envy not the feelinsr of the Democrat who failed in his dntv on Tues day last. ' . Raleiijh Xeir. X special telegram to' the AVu-s chron icles the defeat of Hon. A. M. Waddell inf the third district. Above all personal eonsiderations the defeat of Col. Waddell is -a great loss, not only to the district which he has so ablv and so faithfully and so long represented in Congress, but to the btate. It would be difficult for the writer to speak of this chivalrous Carolinian only in terms of the highest eulogy. It was his pleasure last winter, in Washington, to bear testimony to the distinguished ser vices he rendered the country in the ad ministration of the Postoffice Commit ee of the House. The chairmanship of that committee, one of the most important and most eagerly sought after preferments in the gift of the Speaker of the House, was unsolicted. He was the senior mem ber of the North Carolina delegation II is honorable and useful career has met an unexpected check. ' Temporary it may be as we earnestly trust, but it iV defeat nevertheless. His successor, ' ex-Judge Daniel L. Russell, is perhaps the most ob noxious radical in the district. For this humiliation and shame the Democrats of the district have only themselves to blame. tOh, for a tongue to corse the slave Whos-e treason like a deadly blight Comes o'er the counsels of the brave -And Maets them In their hour of might."

The announcement made by 'General Hickenlooner at the late reunion of the Army of the Tennessee, to the effect that Grant had decided to abandon the residue of his contemplated tour round the world and return home in a few weeks, possesses considerable political significance. It is the first step in the Radical programme of 1880. The next step will be, a conference of Republican leaders here shortly before the convening of the next session of Con gress, at which a thorough reorganization of the Radical party will take place anda complete programme of operations agreed upon. The precise date of -Grant's arrival cannot Ije stated, but is probable that he will be in New York by the 25th insnA We are informed that the contemplated "reorganization" will embrace a sphere of permanent activity on the part of the Hale and Gorham committee, which is to be turned iuto a sort of central staff- or bureau of party administration. The de sign is to enrol permanent Grant clubs all over the country during the coming win ter, the expense of which is to paid from a central fund. In short, the Grant movement is to be put definite ly and squarely on its legs, and so far as an unlimited corrupton fund and! such power of patronage as still remains in Radical hands can accomplish results, the movement will be pushed in every direc tion. Hayes will place the entire patron age of the Executive at the disposal of the managers of the Grant movement, and it is even hinted that if Schurz adheres to his oath never to support ' Grant under any circumstances, and proves intractable, he will be invited to get out of the way and let in Eugene Hale or Senator Sargent. In short, every remaining partisan ener gy and resource of Radicalism will be con centrated upon the name and fortunes of Grant, and, so far as the awkward restraints of a Congress, Democratic in both branches, will permit, the Radical managers intend to accomplish the gigantic task of packing the country to either elect Grant in 18fcO or bring about a state of affairs that will enable him at the head to seize the Gov ernment by a coup tl'etat upon the expira tion of Hayes' term, irrespective of the re sult, of the election. We shall be able to give further and more explicit details of this plot about the time the conference meets here. A Rival ot 0'Iary. From tte- Weuhitiqton Pof. The great feat of Mr. Wm.

Nearly a hundred thousand Bav State Democrats out of" a possible one hundred arid ten thousand must have voted for Butler, for the party strength in 176, the Presidential year, was 10,777. Butler's total vote is several thousand ahove. the latter figures, leiug 107,Ktt . in the 337 towns heard from on Tuesday night; whereas the vote for-Abbott, the Faneuil Hall nominee, is estimated at only fifteen thousand, and may not t un so high.
