He thoaffht they would be Very Yen divided, and there would be many contested delegate He thought that If the straight outs succeeded tney would nominate General Wickham. He himself would fsror Wickham. His objection to the amalgamation scheme was that it meant the disorganization of the Republican party. He feared that were the party tiea once broken they would never be established itgnitm The Republican leaders who had opposed the coalition had no faith in the pretensions of the Beadjusters. Tney feared that should they once get COXTBOL or TBI STATS they would turn round and make terms with the Bourbons.

It was a well known fact, bo said, that the most prominent Bcadjusters were the men who used to be the most ultra and proscriptive Bourbens in tne State. They were the scheming' wire pullers who managed ail the tissue ballots and negro bulldozing. Mr. Jorgensen says that Northern Republicans who had urged the people of Virginia to indorse the Beadjusters at the expense of their own principles do not understand what they are doiuar. He declares that it means the annihilation of the liepub llcai party in the State, and the loss of every Congressional district, the judiciary, and all the members of the Legislature.

In return tor ail this be sees nothing to be gained. MISSISSIPPI. thk coirrsa jxectioS. peelal Telegram to The Inter Octim. Washe.

qton, Aug. 8. The contest In Mississippi this year, although not attracting as much attention as that in Virginia, is being watched with growing interest by politicians on account of the grand effort that is being made to secure to the qualified electors their franchise, and to wrest the State from Democratic control. To free two Southern States in one year from the baleful influences and unlawful forces of Bourbon domination would seem to be more than could be Justly hoped for, yet while success teems strongly probable in Virginia, Mississippi la not without a glimmer of hope. Ex Senator Bruce, by almost daily telegrams, is KEPT CONSTA3TTLT tSFOKJIKD of the political movement In his State, and to the press correspondents this morning, in reply to an inquiry regarding the Democratic candidate tor Governor lately nominated, he said: "Lowry is a man of fair ability, a General In the rebel army (where, I believe, he did not distinculsh himself to.

any extent), and a chronic candidate for Governor. He has been several years a member of the Legislature, and is not a man of any particular strength politically. He belonged to the Earksdale wing of the Bourbon party, and to prevent the nomination of Stone, who was Liunar's candidate, Barksdale and Featherstone (who had about twenty five votes) threw their strensrth for Lowry." "Will this disaffection cause any split in the Bourbon ranks?" "Oh, no. The whole party will give Lowry Its hearty support" "What efforts will you make to secure bis defeat?" "Well, you know Mississippi is Republican undeb a vats count n. by 28,000 majority.

But, of course, since 1875 we have been unable to get our votes counted, and the Bourbons have had control of the State. We are seeking this year to gather thai odds and odds of political factions and parties to ascertain if we can not, by a united effort, obtain our rights and give the death blow to Bouxbon organization and I violence. The Greenback party, which is really a Republican organization under another name, and with really no evil designs npon the enr rency, ia willing to unite with the Republican party in the formation of a ticket The Independent Democrats who left the Bourbon party in 1875 are also wiLiJJiQ ron coalition, provided tbey are allowed the Governor. They offer a very strong man in Colonel Ben King, and uf there are seven places on the ticket, I think the division can be made satisfactory to ail three parties. "What is the strength of these The Greenbackers claim 20,000 votes, but I suppose they will not be able to cast more than 15,000.

The Independent Democrats number about 8,000. We hope by the coalition to be able to compel the Bourbons, who control the organizations to count onr votes, as each faction of the new party will be interested securing justice to the other. The Independent Democrats are men of education, ability, and information, and they will be able to check the lawless spirit to a considerable extent. Their platform will be very short, and will advocate a free ballot and a fair count, a revision of the criminal laws, and an encouragement of the free school system. We shall push the can vasa on these lasuea ion Know our criminal code la rather oppressive; besides that, It allows COXTICTS TO LEASED OUT, entailing great suffering' upon them, and to the great Injury of free labor.

Then our ecnooi system is poor. Mississippi naa no free schools previous to the war, and since then the State has pleaded poverty, and has done little or nothing for their ejacourage ment. We only ask that our votes be counted, and If we can secure that we can carry the Bun without trouble. "Do von expect to be able to the coalition into the cities and make It success ul as far as members ot the are nunfienieil "We cannot tl We are going to' do our pest to carry we dwk uuet ana the legislature also, Jut we cannot predict our iuo. caa with each as Vet.

Xha Lamar taction beat Barksdale the last time by uniting on George, and this year compelled Barksdale's friends to take some other man for Governor, so you can imagine that the fight will be bitter." "What of Chalmers' candldaoyI' "It amount to nothing.

Chalmers belongs to the XtarkxUalo faction, aud. as Borksdald will be a candidate against Lamar himself, Chalmers has no prospect of support. As you see, the Vicksburg lltrald, the Democratic organ of the State, opposes Chalmers an a man attempting to steal an officii to whioh ha was not elected, and he is not in very excellent odor." "What is NusslsHlppi'a financial condition?" "Very good, indeed. lier financial condition has always been good since she repudiated her debt vears ago. When the Democrats took hold of the State Government in 1875 her State debt amounted to $4, OOO.OOO.

Her land is in good condition, her crops fair, and a number of cotton factories ana manufacturing establishments have sprung up ot late Ot course her credit will never amount to anything; she cau never secure a loan, but that may prove a blessing to her.

Washington, Aug. 8. A copy of a memorial of Priuco Bismarck to the German Reichstag wherein he discusses the success of government aid to its merchant marine has been received at tho State Department. The memorial was suggested by the recent promulgation of tho merchant shipping act by the French Government. He Bays at the conclusion of an able discussion of tho sub ject: "It is deserving of serious consideration whether under the circumstances German freight trade is given over to foreigners a mortal blow will bo dealt to all the indus tries of tho country.

It would bo an anomaly from a national standpoint to cede the transport trade to industrial rivals. It is no exaggeration to assert that before the expiration of a year after the promulgation of tue French bounties olll. tho French merchant service will receive a considerable augmentation, and that ii will share with England the transport trade of the Atlantic. as also the trade with South America, Last India, Australia and colonies." fetate department ollicers that the people of the United States would do well to give this subject some reflection in view of tne I act that our nagia last disappearing from the seas.

Special Telejrram to Tne later Ocsin. Was hn gtox, Aug. S. in the nver and harbor bill, pa33e March 3, 1 56 1, au appropri ation was made providing for the construction of dams to the outlets to certain lakes connected with and tributary to Lake Wiu at the head waters of the Mississippi, thereby transforming that lake into a sort ot reservoir, and turning the volume of its waters into the great river. luiu project, it has been foreseen, when com pleted, will necessarily raise the level of the lake and ovcrilow the adjacent lands, which are inclined to be low and swampy for many miles.

The lands in tho vicinity of, and indeed the lake itself, are included in the reservation of the Winnebegosiah Indians, a remnant of a once large tribe, that has for centuries inhabited tho country fcuxrounding the head waters of the Mississippi. In order to ascertain to what extent these indiaux would be damaged by the overflow, and what measure, If any, would be necessary to protect them from losses. A. RuCfou, Indian Agent at tho White Earth Agency, was instructed some months since to repair to the reservation ot tae Wmncbegoisn tribe and make a thorough investigation. After some time, during which the government made able and extensive efforts to iret something in the way a report out of Mr.

Rulfee, the long desired document arrived, and proved to be an elaborate dissertation upon the habits, circumstances, and resources of the Winnebegosish ludians, but utterly useless to the department in any way, or, as a prominent official of the Interior Department expressed it, "the play of with Hamietleftout." lu6hort, the verv thing that the government desired, tho valuation of the Indian property and the probable loss to the Indians by oversow, is left out of the report. Mr. Kuffee. iu opening his report, details tniuuuUy how he left his agency', according to official instructions, and proceeded with assistants to TILE WniKEEEGOSISH The weather was extremely wirui and the task consequently arduous in the extreme He lound the trioe comosed of forty two amillea, making a total of L'iu persons. The Indians lass year raised 24,000 pounds of rice and made 0.00O pounds of from the sugar trees in the vicinity.

They also gather large quantities of forage from the meadows, and subsist largely upon hsh caught irom Lake Winnebeg osieh. Their meadows and their iishing will both be irretrievably spoiled by the overdow of the land, and other provision will have to be made for them The people have always looked with suspicion upon any move of the United States Government, and they had gained the impression that this project was but a move on the part of the government to get rid of them by "drowning them out." Mr. Bnlfee took the chiefs of the tribe with him in his perambulations through the reservation, and thinks that by serious labor with them he has convinced them that the government intends them no barm. When asked if they won id interfere with the work if it was pushed forward, they said they would not give their consent to the work, but if it was carried out they would not interfere, but would trust the government to call them to Washington and properly reimburse them to whatever extent they would suffer. This course was agreed upon at a council of the chiefs held while Mr.

ltutf ee was among them. The tribe has occupied the land so long that it is quite probable they would prefer to remain in that vicinity than to be removed to another reservation. Mr. Rufiee further says that he made measurements of all the lands, and surveyed all the crops, bu could give no figures as to its value, because he could not get them. In transmitting the report to the Secretary of the Interior acting Indian Commissioner Stevens 'submits a letter containing a suggestion that new bouses be at once erected for these Indians, aud preparations made to remove them from the lands they now oo py.
