Horrible Outrages on the Whites—The True Facts Suppressed by Indian Traders. Sr. Louis, April 8, 1868. An Omaha special despatch to the St. Louis Demo- crat says that the Indian agents and contractors for Indian goods are suppressing authentic reports and doing everything in their power to prevent the true ‘State of affairs from being made public. The follow- ‘ing are only a part of the depredations recently com- mitted by the Indians:—During the last week in March @ ranch on the Bitter Cottonwood, twenty miles west of the Cheyenne and Fort Filterman road, ‘was attacked by Indians, who killed one boy and carried off the ranchman’s wife and the owner of the ranch. One boy escaped to a neighboring -ranch, where seven white men were lodged. The Indians attacked the house, but were repulsed. On the 22d of March a party of one hundred In- dians attacked the Horse Shoe ranch, forty miles west of the road, and occupied by a man named Wor- rell, formerly of the Eleventh Ohio cavalry, his part- Her, named Thornburg, and another man. Having plenty of ammunition the whites defended the ranch until daylight and then escaped into an under- ground passageway with loopholes, whence they ‘kept up the fire, Killing two Indians and wounding several. Inthe meantime the Indians burned the building, stables and outhouses, which were valued at about,$6,000, The next day Mr. Worrell’s party escaped to the Irvin Spring ranch, three miles east, where four more whites were lodged. ‘The entire party started for Cottonwood ranch, fifteen miles distant, and after pro- ceeding six miles they were attacked by a band of sixty Indians. A long fight ensued, in which three men, named Harper, David Dumpier and another were and Mr. Worrell was wounded. Indians lost five killed. The parties then held a council, and the Indians agreed that if the whites would return with them to the Irvin ‘Spring ranch and ee their goods they wouid «be allowed to go without further molestation. tav- ing no option the whites complied with these terms. ‘After Seenectig ranch the Indians set fire to ‘the buildii ir. Worrell and three others were brought in by a company of — The killed were buried where they were found. the 24th of March aranch on the road between Cheyenne creek and Fort Filterman was burned, but as yet nothing has ‘been heard from the occupants. The Indians are jstill stealing stock and committing depredations funchecked. The settlers in the neighborhood of ‘Forts Felterman and Laramie have all gone to the military posts for protection.

Orrawa, Ontario, April 8, 1863. Two men named Whelan and Doyle were arreated last night on suspicion of their having been con- cerned in the murder of D'Arcy McGee, It is said that the suspicions against them are very strong. The body of Mr. McGee was this morning con- veyed to the Roman Catholic Cathedral, where the funeral services were performed, after which the remains were sent by a special train to Montreal, attended by members of the Cabinet and other distinguished men as pail bearers. Eulogies on the deceased were delivered in Parliament last night. The cause of the assassina- tion is generally attributed to Fenianism, which Mr. McGee had done so much to expose tn Canada. ‘The family of Mr. McGee will be amsply provided for by the government, Special despatches from different provinces repre- sent that a feeling of the deepest regret and Indig- nation at the murder of Mr. McGee prevails through- out the country. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALS The Inquest. Orrawa, Ontario, April 8—Evening- The inquest continued at four P. M., Mr. ©’Rielly, Q. C., appearing for deceased statesman’s friends and relatives, and R. Lee, Crown attorney, for the Crown. Before proceeding to give an idea of the evidence I may mention that the authorities here are convinced that Whelan, alias Sullivan, is the man who fired the fatal shot. Whoever fired it must have been secreted im one ofthe neighboring door ways and have fired omhis victim from thence. It is thuoght McGee had a pre- monition that something was wrong when he came to the door step, or he saw the man move at a dls- tance before he fired, for it is said McGee's hand rattled the latch key against the door as if he was knocking instead of opening it with hiskey. The man Whelan who has been arrested is spoken of as a man who used to frequent a public house, nearly opposite Mrs. McKenna’s, at night; and it is said to. have been remarked that on some of those occasions lately he wore mocassins—something then remarked as extraordi- nary. Whelan has, it is avowed, been a Fenian since he lived in Quebec, two years ago. Then he worked as regimental tailor, and was known as John Sullivan. He recently came to Ottawa, and was em- ployed by Mr. Paegieson, merchant tatlor, and other parties. A rumor was recently prevalent that the prisoner Whelan, some few weeks since, had con- cealed in his bed a revolver, and during the time the servant of his boarding house was making the bed she accidentally pulled the trigger of the weapon, and one of the chambers, being loaded with ball and cartridge, lodged a ball in her arm. The local authorities, from these rumors, naturally suspected him. Some detectives were telegraphed for to Montreal and the man was last night arrested. In his possession was found a revolver, one chamber of which had been recently discharged, together with ammunition, &c. The bullet” that ended the existence of poor D’Arcy McGee fitted exactly into the chamber of Whelan’s revolver. When he ob- served the police about to effect his arrest he stag- gered forward as if stricken by lightning. When uestioned as to his whereabouts on the morning of the murder he admitted having been at the Parlia- ment buildings listening to the debates. He was lodged in one of the peace cells this morning, and around the cell was placed a guard of twelve men of the Rifle brigade, including a non-commissioned officer. In the next cell to him lies incarcerated tery. THE TESTIMONY.

Apublic meeting of citizens was held at nocn to- day to express indignation at the assassination of Mr. McGee and condolenct? for his family. The most intense excitement has prevailed here all day. The adjourned inquest was resumed in the after- noon, and a large number oi witnesses. were exam- ined, ‘The evidence taken w'as mainly in connection with the finding of the after the murder.

The other chambers were bright and clear. The bullete with which it was loaded are exactly the same as that which killed Mr. MoGee. It is generally believed that a gang of ruffians are mixed up in the assasein- ation. Two or three parties, against whom there is strong circumstantial evidence, have been arrested as accomplices of Whelan. In order to expedite the trial the crown will prebably take the matter out of the hands of the coroner to-morrow, and the case will be brought before the Police Court. Arrest of a Man in Toronto. ToRoNTO, April 8, 1968. Aman named James Ryan, formerly a messenger inthe Executive Council, was arrested in this city yesterday by a government detective and brought before the police magistrate to-day, and remanded until further orders from Ottawa. Scene of the Assassination—Probable Move- ments of the Murderer After the Commis- ston of the Deed. Mr. McGee was living, at the time of his untimely death, at the Toronto House, kept by a Mrs. Trotter. This house stands on Sparks street, and about a hundred yards west O'Connor street crosses: Sparks. Opposite the Toronto House is a vacant lot, enclosed by a board fence; and if the assassin was concealed ere he committed the deed he was very likely behind this fence, in which there are breaks, and from these he could have noiselessly issued, crossed the street and shot Mr. McGee, who would have had his back turned toward him in opening the door of the house, On committing the murder it is likely the assassin ran to the corner of O'Connor street (on which stands the Queen’s printing establishment), darted down that street, at the foot of which there are some vacant lots or commons, and beyond these woods, and running into these woods concealed himself for atime. From these woods he could have made his way by by-roads to the St. Lawrence river, distant some fifty-four miles; but as he would have to make a wide detour the river would be some sixty or seventy miles distant to him, On reaching the St. Lawrence the assassin could have easily procured a skiff, punt or canoe, and crossed the stream, which is only half a mile wide at that point, to the United States. This is supposin, that the assassin was an American Fenian, an “made for the States.’’ ‘There is another hypothesis, and it is that the as- sassin was @ Canadian Fenian. In this case he would have taken’ to the woods and gone up the Ottawa river. It is not uncommon for criminals to take refuge in the backwoods by going to the lumbering shanties up the Ottawa and working there as axe- men or choppers until the hue and cry attendant on their crime has blown over. Supposing, then, that the assassin was a Canadian Fentan, or, to speak more correctly, a Fenian living in Canada, he would have likely first done as described tn the other case, and on gaining the woods have travelied west, that is, up the south or right bank of the river, until he t up to some of the streams on which timber ts fein cut—say the Pittiwawi or Matawan—and there he might elude the agents of the law, for a time at least. The assassin cannot have got more than twenty to twenty-five miles from Ottawa, and is still in tolera- bly open country; that is, if he has left Ottawa. He would, like most criminals, travel by night and hide by day. We may, therefore, hear of this daring man being captured within the next few days. Master William Trotter, familiarly called “Willy,” who was the first person to find Mr. McGee mur- dered, 1 a page in the House of Commons, and about thirteen years of os He will be the principal witness in tne case, The other evidence will be mostly circumstantial. ‘The Toronto House ts a half private hotel, in which Mr. Howland, the late Mr. McGee and other members of Parliament reside. It is a favorite house with the government members in consequence of its quiet- ness. Action of the Police Authorities in New York. Under the belief that the murderer of D'Arcy McGee may be a “delegate” from New York city, the police, and particularly the detective portion of the force, yesterday received special orders to hunt up every tact in their power that mignt lead to the detection of the criminal.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Another Fenian Scare—The Military avd Police on the Alert—Phosphorus Burned in Ra MonrTEAL, April 6, 18¢8, The city 1s filled with soldiers, awaiting anxiously the approaching Fenian raid from the United States. ‘There are red coats and black coats, hussars and Highlanders perambulating the streets at all hours. The Highlanders donned their “kilts” a few days ago, and now appear in all the glory of bare legs and plaid stockings. The cold, blustering winds of the past few days have made the said legs look decidedly blue, and played the old boy with their short pettl- coats, The streets, with their soldiers and officers atrutting about (with a strut far beyond anything attained by your citizen soldiery), remind one of Pennsylvania avenue in Washington during the war of the rebellion. They all affect little canes, which they flourish about at ali times and in all places, some even carrying them in their hands when their commands turn out for review. One of the periodical Fenian scares amused the city a short time 4.

ADDRESS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATR DEMOCRAT- IC CONVENTION TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF THE STATE. ‘The Convention of the democratic party of South Carolina feels it a high and bounden duty to speak to you candidly and earnestly and with no further apol- ogy than that our interests are to a certain extent identical. You have been suddenly put in po- sition to exercise certain powers, the abuse of which may result disastrously to you and tous. It is im- possible that your present power can endure, wheth- er you use it for good or ill, The white race already outnumbers you in the South. Disease has made the mortality among you twice what it is among the whites and the rate is dally increasing. Emigration has carried off thousands of your color to distant States, while it already begins to fill their places with whites from Europe. Let not your pride, nor Ee your pretended friends, flatter you into the belief that you ever can or ever will for any length of time govern the white men of the South. The world has never seen such @ spectacle, and its whole history, and espectally the history of your race, gives no ground for the anticipation. Perhaps, however, you expect lo attain power by the aid of the raaical party atthe North. The meh ek in His wisdom (per- haps to prevent the amalgamation of the separate races which He created and marked), has implanted in every human breast a sentiment called the preju- dice of race; and when this feeling is once aroused, it is one of the strongest and most universal passions of our natures. When your race was among us as slaves this sentiment sluimbered, and only a compassion for you infiuenced every honest heart— those amor your masters—to treat you kindly; those who believed you wronged to desire to set you free. When you were set free compassion © to exist. When undue power was given rf by the . rty (from motives which all men ap- reciaied and despised) prejudice of race sprang up. ‘he whites of this State endeavored to allay it, here, at least, by inviting you to @ course and a compre- mise which would ‘have given it nothing to feed upon. But their efforts resuited in such an utter failure that it would be mortifying had it not been a Christian duty to make the effort. Every step of your political career so far has cultivated this pre- Judice, until it now speaks aloud in England, and is already rapidly fergie J the politics of the entire North. This is the odium which must soon prove the death of the radical party. It is too strong to be resisted, being the operation of a law of nature. Do you not see it even in your white radical friends, in Spite of their industrious efforts to conceal it, so long as they have use for you? 1s it not apparent also in the officers and even the very private soldiers of the army, Whose bayonets still prop up your power only because they are paid todoit? Do you fatter your- selves that your “Loyal Leagues” can prevail against it? “Bh is thicker than water,” and the | e which the Almighty has ‘organized is one to which there will be no traitors when once an issue is fairly mage. To repeat, then, as we began, your present power must surely and soon pass from you. No- thing that it builds will stand, and nothing will remain of it but the prejudices it may create. It is, therefore, a most dangerous tool that ou are handling. Your leaders, both white and black, are using your votes for nothing but their in- dividual gain. Many of them you have only known heretofore to despise and mistrust, until commanded by your leagues to vote for them. Offices and sala- red for themselves are the heights of their ambi- tions; and so that they make hay while the suo shines they care not who is caught in the storm that jready they y all capital and credit from the South; ey draw $11 a day thousands among you are thrown out of em- loyment and starve simply for lack of work. What Few enterprises are carried on are only the work of Southern men, who have faith that the the present state of affairs is but temporary.

The Columbia Phaméz, April 4, Wade Hampton's organ, endorses the Convention and believes its ac- tion will be. approved of by the great body of the people. It proposes, says the Praniz, “peace and Justicgs.at the same time it was distinctly indicated thas the idea of negro supremacy could not for one TOMeUt be entertained.

The Charleston Mercury, April 6, expresses ita dis- approbation of the resolution recognizing the colored population as an integral element of the body polltic, and ‘“deciines at this time to commit ttself to this Policy." It asks, however, “the hearty and full co- operation of the white men throughout the State in behalf of the policy laid down, of voting agatnst the constitution, and State officers.

There has beew quite an exciting sceme to-day im the convention of the Massachusetts Homeopathic Medical Society on the admission of Mrs. Mercy B. Jackson, a practising female physician in Boston. ‘The debate was vipry animated, the opponents claim- ing that the quest.ton was a serious one, an from Scripture to show that the relation of a wife to @ husband was tte same as that of the Church to Christ, and that she should not be sub- ject to the tem)tations which would arise in the course of their professton.. One of the oppo- nents argued that it would tend to produce etfen- nate men and masculine women, and said that if women are to engajre in medical practice they should stop by themselves and contiue their practice sirictiy to the affticted of their own sex. Those who favored Mrs. Jackson's admisston to the society argued that there ought to be no objection if she possessed the requisite ability, and that if women became mem- bers of the society gerinane subjects could be dia- cussed at their meeti ng just the’ same, aad tuat woman's presence would. elevate discussions ea deli- cate matters, After contiderable discussion of this nature on both sides the vote on the question was taken, and the admission:of Mrs, Jackson refused by a@ vote of thirty-three against thirty-one, whic! created great enthusiasa: among those composing the majority.
