Mr. Leonard then gavo .an account of a meeting at Spring Ridge, where a joint discussion was agreed upon, but the republican speakers were interrupted and insulted by the democrats with profane and abusive language, the general character of which is shown by the following, Mr. Leonard said:.While 1 was speaking Mr. Jeff .Sullivan and a number of others arose and said my statements were damned lies; several parties advanced, while I kept silent; in a few moments order was restored and I finished; Mr. Hill followed me; Mr. Ellseuer (republican) was the next speaker; He was interrupted frequently by such remarks as, "You are a radical scoundrel!" "That's a lie!" &c; Mr. Crane (democrat) thru spoke; ho was followed by Mr. Harper (republican), who had not spoken three uiinutrs when the whole bouse was in a tumult, with cries of "Kill tho radicals!"

To-day's report from Aberdeen says that snow began to fall at midnight and has continued ever since. At sj^ort intervals a fierce southeasterly gale springs up which threatens to demolish everything that lies in its way. FEAK FOB THE SAFETY OF VESSELS. The sea is tremendously high along the coasts, and there is a growing fear that many disasters will be found to havo occurred after the tempest subsides. There is a total suspension of communication by rail between Aberdeen and the north on account of the heavy snow . drifts piled up by the fierce winds. BKAVX SHOW ST0BM8. At Dundee there have been very heavy snow and sleet showers, accompanied by a strong southeasterly gale. The snow drifts are the largest that have been seen in many years.

J..HOW THE PROCEEDS OP A FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR UNITED STATES BOND WERE DIVIDED .THE DEFENCE. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] 13Ei.vitiF.Ri:, Jan. 10, 1879. In the court house here, this morning, was resumed the trial ot Simon A. Cummins, Edwin G. Hulgin, John N. Givcns and Charles S. Straler, on an indictment charging tlicui with, conspiracy. Cummins was Collector of this (W arren) county from May, 1877, to Bay, 1878, having, as it is openly averred on all sides here, paid $1,200 to get the office, of which the annnal salary is about $of)0. Hulgin was Cummins' clerk, Giveus was attorney to the Hoard of freeholders, and Strader wxs a director of the Hoard during the time that Cummins was County Collector. The charge made by the prosecution is that these defendants, with John TV. Dean and John V. Mattisou jointly indicted, but not proceeded against, divided betweon themselves, in November, 1877, $5,218, the principal and interest of a fivethousand dollar note which had been given to David Mixsell and paid off by a previous county collector. The name was changed to Daniol Mitchell, when Cummins again took it as a proper voucher, and the profunda were divided anions tlio six. Not having money enough to go round, Collector Cummins hunted up some county bonds of a, late issue and divided thcai among the six public guardians, himself included. tcumno state's kviuknce. John W. Dean, who has turned State's evidence, was the first witness called by the prosecution. Ho swore that the division was made in a room in the Warren House, in Xiclvidcre; the proceeds wero divided equally among the six; all the participants were present except Cummins at the titne of the division, and two-sixths of the "divvy" was given to Itulgiu, with the understanding tliutoue-sixth was for Cummins; each participant got part bonds and part money; the chaugo in the name from David Mixscll to Daniel Mitchell had been previously made by Dr. Mattison. The transaction took place November 1(£ 1877, after seven o'clock in the evening. The witness acted in the capacity of host and invited the others to the pecuniary aeaucc. He told them he had a $5,010 note, and alter tea they would meet with the Collector and see if lie could cash it When these investigations coiuiik'iuxu Uic uuicr jjmui ijihius rciiiiuuiseu i oilector Cummins, iu consideration* of which that official did not present the note to the present Board as a county voucher, but agreed to file it away forever. DR. XATTXSOH ON THE STAND. John V. Mattisou was the first wituess called at the afternoon session. He testified that in the fall of 1877 ne had a conversation with Collector Cummins in regard to cashing the note; it was understood that it was not a genuine note; also talked with the defendant Strader about it; Straderafterward said that the County Collector would pay the note; had frequent conversations witli Dean and Strader about it; the witness and Dean selected the note from a number of paid country notes in witness' possession: after the name in the note was altered Dean took it for the purpose of getting it cashed; it was understood tliut the proceeds were to be divided between Mattison, Dean, Strader, Cummins and Bulgin; the witness knew nothing of the division, but received as his share from Dean; he found some fuult with Dean at receiving one-sixth instead of oue-Afth; Dean and Strader explaiued that it was considered advisable to take in another partner. The Court refused to allow the name of this partner to be given. THE CROSS-EXASflSATIOS. On cross-examination the witness stated that all alterations were made by Dean; Dean had sworn that Mattison helped him alter it: he laughingly described it as a very bungling job; that when the exposures came the witness fled to New York and remained there until found by 1'iukcrton; he was brought back, locked up, broke jail once and was caught again; he had no prospects of mitination of sentence.

MASSACRE OF CHEIENNEI Outbreak of Prisoners and Its Fearful Consequences. . SHOT BY DOZENS IX THE SNOW. Death from Hunger and Co'd Preferred to a Reservation. HOW THE NATION TREATS ITS WARDS. [u* TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD,] Omaha, Neb.. Jan. 10, lt)T9. Telegraphic advices received from Military Headquarters, Department of the Platte, furnish details of the bloody all'uir at Camp Robinson. Captain Weasels, wljo was intrusted with the duty of transporting tho Chovennes to Fori Leavenworth, states briefly, in a telegram from Camp liobiusou, that the Indiana broke out the windows of the room in which they were confined at ten o'clock last night, anil, overpowering the guard, which had been doubled as an extra precaution, killed one soldier, mortally wounded another and injured others. The Cheyennea in some manner had secreted a few old revolvers, which wero used. The cavalry immediately rallied from the barracks, anil the Indians declining to surrender, fired into them, killing thirty. The others retreated, the cavalry pursuing. A later despatch from Lieutenant Johnson reports that Captain Wcsscls is still out with cavalry in pursuit. STATEMENT OF GENERAL CBOOE. Your correspondent conversed with General Crook this afternoon on the matter, but the General stated that the information received was so meagre that he could form no opinion. He stated that the Indians were in such a condition when captured two months ago by Colonel Corleton that they would have returned to Indian Territory, tor they considered themselves vanquished, and expected it. Being allowed to stay so long, they looked on it as settled that they were not to be taken away. An order to remove them, in accordance with the decision of the Department of the Interior, came about a week ago. When the Indians were told they would bo taken back to Fort Leavenworth they were greatly surprised, and decided to die rather than go. In their present temper any attempt to remove them by force was certain to result only in the death of some soldiers and the killing of tho Cheyenne*. Therefore it was decided, as stated in the Herald of # January 7, to freeze and starve them ont, an offer being made, and peremptorily refused, to feed the small children, as the Indians had decided to die together, and then began singing the death song. Captain Weasels, with five companies of the Third cavalry. waning it) escort me lnuiaus, awaiu-u lut: issue up to yesterday, and part of the Indians had surrendered and decided to go, but the remainder were as desperate as ever. TBK OCrtlUKAK. Things were in this condition when they broke from the room last night. The Cheyennea were confined in one set of company quarters which form a part of the rectangle into which the fort was laid out The soldiers were in close proximity. The total number of bucks waa forty, and if. as believed, the parties killed were bucks, this nearly exterminated them. So one doubts that the Indians could have been taken back peaceably and easily when captured. LATER RETORT OF THE AFFAIR. The following special has just been received here from Camp Robinson:. the setlietw n» 01 trie is lato dent. run chairman or the House Finance Committee thinks the whole matter will t>e allowed to blow over, ami no action Ito taken relative to the nettleincnt of the debt. The benate Finance Committee will also probably recoutnicnd that this course be pursued. THE DEBT OP YIROIXIA. Bictmoxn, Vs., Jan. 10,1870. In rc-ponse to a resolution of inquiry the Mate Auditor to-day sent a communication to the Iionsc in which he expresses tbo opinion that the present rate of tax will yield a sufficient amount of it venue to pay four per centum upon the public debt proper, provided that tho present assessment of property can he maintained. He says it must he rcrocnibered, however, that the general tvnssoasment of the lands of the Commonwealth wtil take place In 1880, and Ida fear ts that there will bo a falling off on values of from twenty to twenty-five per centum upon real estate. There will probably be none In the value of personal property. Should this depreciation in the value of jikml take place, and the debt be adjusted on tbe basts of four per centum, the deficiency must of course bo made up by either increase In the rate of tax or the ascertainment of new subjects of taxation which will yield tho necessary amount of revenue. UNCLAIMED BODIES FOR DISSECTION. Cixcikrati, Ohio, Jan. 10, 1879. In the State Senate bill* were introduced giving tiie unclaimed bodice of those who die in public institution* to medical societies for dissection. to be operated on within Ohio, and making the transfer of such bodies to other Mtstes. or the traffic in bodies, a misdemeanor, punishable by fine ami imprisonment, being removed on Thursday Mild Hog IV tally stabbed Private Ferguson, Company A. Third cavalry. The remaining savages began chanting the war song and stubbornly refused to emerge from the prison room, and proceeded to barricade the windows. Tearing up flooring, they intrenched themselves therein, and improvised war clubs from the joists of the floor. The stoves were also broken in fragments. Soon after midnight the Cheyennes darted through the prison windows, and fired on tho gnard with revolvers which tboy had auccceded in concealing, and all ran for the op?n prairies. The guard opened fire on the fleeing savages, shooting them down by dozens in the frozen snow. The troops are in pursuit of the retreating Indians, killing them without mercy. Four soldiers of the Third cavalry ware wounded and one kiiled, he having been shot through the heart. Dull Knife is numbered among the dead, naving been allot through tho head. Ono hundred and fifty cavalrymen are in pursuit, while others are employed in carrying in tho dead and wounded savages.

during the last campaign; prior to the election was

told by prominent democrats that they meant to

carry the election; asked thcui how they would doit. in view of the fact that the uenro voters were

greatly iu th<< majority; reply was that negroes wouldvote the democratic ticket; later a fixed determinationon the part of the democrats to carry tho electionbecame evident; this determination finally wan intensifiedinto acts of intimidation: the RepublicanConvention put a ticket into the field, which was

really unobjectionable, even to democrats; it was

conceded, however, that this ticket would onlyreceive the negro vote. Mr. Leonard thengavo .an account of a meeting at SpringRidge, where a joint discussion was agreedupon, but the republican speakers were

interrupted and insulted by the democrats with profaneand abusive language, the general character ofwhich is shown by the following, Mr. Leonardsaid:.While 1 was speaking Mr. Jeff .Sullivanand a number of others arose and said my statementswere damned lies; several parties advanced,while I kept silent; in a few moments order wasrestored and I finished; Mr. Hill followed me; Mr.Ellseuer (republican) was the next speaker;He was interrupted frequently by suchremarks as, "You are a radical scoundrel!""That's a lie!" &c; Mr. Crane (democrat) thruspoke; ho was followed by Mr. Harper (republican),who had not spoken three uiinutrs when the wholebouse was in a tumult, with cries of "Kill tho radicals!""Wo have the leaders!" "Khoot them!"1 looked for an advance on Harper, when all at oucosome fifteen men began coming toward mo; thelender mmenred to be Jasuer McMillan: ho not to luefirst; McMillan began curbing, calling me a radicaltlnef, a coward and a scoundrel; tnis sort oftiling lasted ten minutes; I knew theywanted me to rosent these insults, and thena row would take place and wo wouldbe killed and nobody know who did the deed; I keptmy mouth shut, as did all of our party; at thispoint a stranger to we, Cleb Foster, came to McMillanand took him by the neck and dragged him outof the house; this act opened a passage, aud IJoined Harper upon the platform; my party thenwalked out through the front door and went to whereour buggica were; nobody followed uaj and we left;on my arrival at Shreveport I Was told that thetown was In a terrib'.e state of excitement, and thatwe were to be killed if we held another meeting; Iasked who said so and was told all the town repeatedthe statement. Witness then detailed various actsof violence, throats aud fraud, such as placingballot boxes at inaccessible places, theorganization of cavalry companies throughout theparish for the avowed purpose of carrying the election,not permitting republican supervisors to dischargetheir duties, and refusal to allow negroes tovote who had registered, ,ou the ground that theirnames were not on tho books.

The democrats ieel that the campaignof next fall is big with eveuta for them, and are lookingto and expecting to effect a combination with thegreenback clement.

reports coming in, all stating that the galescontinue. To-day's report from Aberdeen

says that snow began to fall at midnightand has continued ever since. At sj^ort intervalsa fierce southeasterly gale springsup which threatens to demolish everythingthat lies in its way.

FEAK FOB THE SAFETY OF VESSELS.

The sea is tremendously high along the

coasts, and there is a growing fear that

many disasters will be found to havo occurredafter the tempest subsides. Thereis a total suspension of communicationby rail between Aberdeen andthe north on account of the heavy snow .

drifts piled up by the fierce winds.BKAVX SHOW ST0BM8.

At Dundee there have been very heavysnow and sleet showers, accompanied by a

strong southeasterly gale. The snow driftsare the largest that have been seen in manyyears. Communication has been entirelycut off between the mainland and Lewis,the rough sea, together with the heavygales and blinding snow, rendering it impossiblefor the boats to run.

£1V£B TilAYEL SUSPENDED.

On the Thames travel had to be entirelysuspended. The ice is coming down theriver in such quantities as to render navigation

perilous. The Scilly report statesthat a heavy gale from tho southeast hascontinued during the night, accompanied

A VF.ItY STRONG CASE AGAINST THE DELINQUENTOFFICIALS OP WARREN COUNTY, N. J..HOWTHE PROCEEDS OP A FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR

UNITED STATES BOND WERE DIVIDED.THE

DEFENCE.

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.]13Ei.vitiF.Ri:, Jan. 10, 1879.

In the court house here, this morning, was resumedthe trial ot Simon A. Cummins, Edwin G.Hulgin, John N. Givcns and Charles S. Straler, on

an indictment charging tlicui with, conspiracy.Cummins was Collector of this (W arren) county fromMay, 1877, to Bay, 1878, having, as it is openlyaverred on all sides here, paid $1,200 to get the office,of which the annnal salary is about $of)0. Hulginwas Cummins' clerk, Giveus was attorney to theHoard of freeholders, and Strader wxs a director ofthe Hoard during the time that Cummins was CountyCollector. The charge made by the prosecution isthat these defendants, with John TV. Dean and JohnV. Mattisou jointly indicted, but not proceededagainst, divided betweon themselves, in November,1877, $5,218, the principal and interest of a fivethousanddollar note which had been given to DavidMixsell and paid off by a previous county collector.The name was changed to Daniol Mitchell, whenCummins again took it as a proper voucher, and theprofunda were divided anions tlio six. Not havingmoney enough to go round, Collector Cumminshunted up some county bonds of a, late issue anddivided thcai among the six public guardians, himselfincluded.

tcumno state's kviuknce.John W. Dean, who has turned State's evidence,

was the first witness called by the prosecution. Hoswore that the division was made in a room in theWarren House, in Xiclvidcre; the proceeds werodivided equally among the six; all the participantswere present except Cummins at the titne of thedivision, and two-sixths of the "divvy" was given toItulgiu, with the understanding tliutoue-sixth was forCummins; each participant got part bonds and partmoney; the chaugo in the name from David Mixscllto Daniel Mitchell had been previously made by Dr.Mattison. The transaction took place November 1(£1877, after seven o'clock in the evening. The witnessacted in the capacity of host and invited theothers to the pecuniary aeaucc. He toldthem he had a $5,010 note, and alter teathey would meet with the Collector and seeif lie could cash it When these investigationscoiuiik'iuxu Uic uuicr jjmui ijihius rciiiiuuiseu i oilectorCummins, iu consideration* of which thatofficial did not present the note to the present Boardas a county voucher, but agreed to file it away forever.

DR. XATTXSOH ON THE STAND.John V. Mattisou was the first wituess called at the

afternoon session. He testified that in the fall of1877 ne had a conversation with Collector Cumminsin regard to cashing the note; it was understood thatit was not a genuine note; also talked with the defendantStrader about it; Straderafterward said thatthe County Collector would pay the note; hadfrequent conversations witli Dean and Straderabout it; the witness and Dean selected the notefrom a number of paid country notes in witness'possession: after the name in the note was alteredDean took it for the purpose of getting it cashed;it was understood tliut the proceeds were to bedivided between Mattison, Dean, Strader, Cumminsand Bulgin; the witness knew nothing of the division,but received as his share from Dean; hefound some fuult with Dean at receiving one-sixth insteadof oue-Afth; Dean and Strader explaiued thatit was considered advisable to take in another partner.The Court refused to allow the name of this partnerto be given.

THE CROSS-EXASflSATIOS.On cross-examination the witness stated that all

alterations were made by Dean; Dean had swornthat Mattison helped him alter it: he laughingly describedit as a very bungling job; that when the exposurescame the witness fled to New York and remainedthere until found by 1'iukcrton; he wasbrought back, locked up, broke jail once and was

caught again; he had no prospects of mitination ofsentence.

HOW THE NATION TREATS ITS WARDS.

[u* TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD,]Omaha, Neb.. Jan. 10, lt)T9.

Telegraphic advices received from Military Headquarters,Department of the Platte, furnish detailsof the bloody all'uir at Camp Robinson. CaptainWeasels, wljo was intrusted with the duty of transportingtho Chovennes to Fori Leavenworth, states

briefly, in a telegram from Camp liobiusou, that theIndiana broke out the windows of the room in which

they were confined at ten o'clock last night, anil, overpoweringthe guard, which had been doubled as an

extra precaution, killed one soldier, mortally woundedanother and injured others. The Cheyennea in

some manner had secreted a few old revolvers, which

wero used. The cavalry immediately rallied from

the barracks, anil the Indians declining to surrender,fired into them, killing thirty. The others retreated,the cavalry pursuing. A later despatch from LieutenantJohnson reports that Captain Wcsscls is stillout with cavalry in pursuit.

STATEMENT OF GENERAL CBOOE.

Your correspondent conversed with General Crookthis afternoon on the matter, but the General statedthat the information received was so meagrethat he could form no opinion. He

stated that the Indians were in such a

condition when captured two months ago by ColonelCorleton that they would have returned to Indian

Territory, tor they considered themselves vanquished,and expected it. Being allowed to stay so

long, they looked on it as settled that they were notto be taken away. An order to remove them, in accordancewith the decision of the Department of the

Interior, came about a week ago. When the Indianswere told they would bo taken back to Fort

Leavenworth they were greatly surprised,and decided to die rather than go. In

their present temper any attempt to remove

them by force was certain to result only in the deathof some soldiers and the killing of tho Cheyenne*.Therefore it was decided, as stated in the Herald of

#

January 7, to freeze and starve them ont, an offer beingmade, and peremptorily refused, to feed the smallchildren, as the Indians had decided to die together,and then began singing the death song. CaptainWeasels, with five companies of the Third cavalry.waning it) escort me lnuiaus, awaiu-u lut: issue up to

yesterday, and part of the Indians had surrenderedand decided to go, but the remainder were as desperate

as ever.TBK OCrtlUKAK.

Things were in this condition when they brokefrom the room last night. The Cheyennea were confinedin one set of company quarters which form a

part of the rectangle into which the fort was laidout The soldiers were in close proximity. Thetotal number of bucks waa forty, and if. as believed,the parties killed were bucks, this nearly exterminatedthem. So one doubts that the Indians couldhave been taken back peaceably and easily when captured.

LATER RETORT OF THE AFFAIR.

The following special has just been received herefrom Camp Robinson:.

the setlietw n» 01 trie islato dent. run chairman orthe House Finance Committee thinks the whole matterwill t>e allowed to blow over, ami no action Itotaken relative to the nettleincnt of the debt. Thebenate Finance Committee will also probably recoutnicndthat this course be pursued.

THE DEBT OP YIROIXIA.Bictmoxn, Vs., Jan. 10,1870.

In rc-ponse to a resolution of inquiry the MateAuditor to-day sent a communication to the Iionscin which he expresses tbo opinion that the presentrate of tax will yield a sufficient amount of it venueto pay four per centum upon the public debtproper, provided that tho present assessment ofproperty can he maintained. He says it must he rcrocnibered,however, that the general tvnssoasment ofthe lands of the Commonwealth wtil take place In1880, and Ida fear ts that there will bo a falling off onvalues of from twenty to twenty-five per centum uponreal estate. There will probably be none In the valueof personal property. Should this depreciation inthe value of jikml take place, and the debt be adjustedon tbe basts of four per centum, the deficiency mustof course bo made up by either increase In the rate oftax or the ascertainment of new subjects of taxationwhich will yield tho necessary amount of revenue.

joists of the floor. The stoves were also brokenin fragments. Soon after midnight the Cheyennesdarted through the prison windows, andfired on tho gnard with revolvers whichtboy had auccceded in concealing, and allran for the op?n prairies. The guard opened fire on

the fleeing savages, shooting them down by dozens in

the frozen snow. The troops are in pursuit of the

retreating Indians, killing them without mercy.Four soldiers of the Third cavalry ware woundedand one kiiled, he having been shot through the heart.Dull Knife is numbered among the dead, naving beenallot through tho head.
