Now that the President’s proclamation declaring martial law in nine counties of South Carolina nas been published, it is probable news will be recetved 4m a day or two of the operations of the military au- thorities in that section. It is well known to the readers of the HERALD that United States troops have been concentrated at Spartanspurg and ocher conveniont points to strike a telling blow as soon a8 tne proclamation of martial law had been made, end it may be counted upon as @ certainty that hundreds of tne Ku Klux will be under arrest before they hear of the President's prociamaiton. ‘This is & military and not a civil movement, and it has not been undertaken without a due regard to military principles. The President's warning a few days ago, and his proclamation now, are only the out- ward obedience to the requirements of the Ku Klux law, while the military preparations were made long before tne clvii formula was promulgated.

This aiscovery, and the fact that the gov.s ernment believes large sums are annually lost to the revenue by the ignorance of its officers, have induced the Commusstoner to appoint Mr. C. M.

Digsatisfaction with Indinn Comutlssioner Colyer, Loud complaint is made by citizens of Arizona and Valiforma‘of the conduct of Vincent Colyer in his recent tour as Incian Peace Commissioner. His course at Camp Grant, Arizona, Ils alieged to have been most nigh-ianded and offensive. Ib is charged that he virtually took command of (he post, and probibited any citizens coming within ten miles of it. Asmall purty of mining prospectors from fue- | son, approaching the camp for water, were ordered away, although they made their business known and offered to surrender any arms in their posses- sion. When they insisted on procuring water, of which they were greatly in need, Captain Nelson, by instruction of Colyer, had the long roll beat, men placed under arms and cannon pianted to command the road to the fort should the party attempt to advance. The ofticers told Colyer that it was a peaceaple party of miners; but he would not listen to their coming In, saying it was enough for him to know that they hatled from Tucson. The men were obliged to climb the mountain sides and go a num- ber of miles irom the camp withoat water, when the officers sent a supply to them. It is furier | asserted that several prominent citizens of the ‘Yerritory, being at Camp Grant and entirely familar = with ue condition of Indian affaira in the Territory, respectfully asked an inter- view with him, which he haugnhtily refused, Al- though the Governor had Issued a proclamation calling upon the citizens of the Territory to receive the Indian Commissioner with kindness and hospt- tality and was within filty miles of Camp Grast, Colyer declined to visit him. It 13 stated that Cot- yer'’s visit was most hasty and his observations limited in the extreme; that he met but few of the Indians; saw very» lite of the country; kept a large guard about him all the time, and showed the strongest prejudice against the frontiersmen. The people of Arizona assert that they have no objection to atrial of the Presi denv’s peace policy in that country, but in order that the government may have a correct idea of the | state of Indian affairs there a more just, impartial and observant Commissioner must be seni In their Judgment no value whatever should be at tached to Colyer’s reports.

Milwawkee Cartug for the Wisconsin Safe ferers. MILWAUR@F, Oct. 18, 1871. The Relist Committea for Northern Wisconsim have decided to send two men into every county devastated by fire to ascertain the’ exact amount and kind of supplies needed during the coming eral captains, whose opinions were that the wind, then from the northeast, would graduatly haut to the southward. So the position of the stakeboat would then be such as to comply with the conditions of the agreement, that the race should be twenty miles to windward and return, But the weather-wise gentlemen re- garded as experts and the old salts were all mis. taken, as the wind hauled moreand more to the northward, making the race a leading wind both ways, and giving the Livonia by the miscalculation @ chance to show her sailing qualities and demon- strate beyond peradventure what ler speed and sea- worthiness amount to. The Livonia was firstto bear down to the com- rmttee steamer, when Commodore Ashbury and a friend who had been guests on it coming down the bay were tuken off in a Small boat, and prepara- Uoas were at once made to be ready tor the start, Commodore Ashbury had been notified before leay- ing the Fletcher that the Columbia nad been selected again as the competing vessel, and he received the an- nouncement with his usnai imperturbabieness. The neatand trim appearance of the Livonia attracted great atrention and the rapidity withwhich she moved through the water evoked words of commendation, ani convinced even those inclined to be sceptical that she wasan antagonist Of no mean rauk. She carried her racing flag flying saueily from her main hence it was again turned over to the custodi- anship of the Commissioners of Charities, The Commissioners & second time gave the child out— this time to @ Mrs. Smith, iiving-at Rahway, N.J., where, a3 suid, the chile died, and was buried under the name of Mary Smith. ‘The case came imto court | upon a writ of habeas corpus, “We want tie body of the child produced in court,” insisted counsel, “The child is dead beyond question,’ interposed the opposing lawyer, “We are not sure of thai,” sald the first counsel. “Witnesses testify to a mark of iden ification on fis person,” claimed the second lawyer, “What mark :’ asked the Judge, “A wart on tts right car,” aaswered the counsel. After some farther remarks the Judge satd he was inclined to have the facts examined into before a referee, but he would first examine the papers. A Mother Claiming the Custody of Her Boy. mre.
