' A Dispute Over the $75,000 Offered For the Capture of the Outlaw, Birmingham, Ala Dec. 12. Tho rewards offered tor the capture of Rube Burrivs, the train robbor, who was killed near Linden, Ala., Oct 8, have not been paid, and there is a prospect of some interesting litigation over them. The rewards aggregate $75,000 and are worth fighting for. J. D. Carter, the man" who shot and killed Burrows, claims all the money, while John Mc- Dufhu and the two negroes who assisted in the capture of the robber claim their snare oi iu After his capture, Burrows escaped from McDuffin and the two negroes, and hunting up Carter, who had hia gun and money, he was shot and killed by him. Carter now claims that aa Burrows had escaped from the other captors he was again a free man and outlaw at large, and therefore he, (Carter), who killed him alone and unaided, is the only man entitled to the rewards. The Southern Express company, it is said, have placed the money in bank to pay their part of the rewards, but insist that the claimants must settle among themselves who is entitled to it The rewards wore all for the capture and conviction of Burrows, none for him dead or alive. The Southern Express company announced that they would waive this and pay their proportion. Heading for the North. St. Paul, Dec 12. The Pioneer-PresFortKeogh, Mont, special says: Two bands of disaffected Pine Ridge Indians under Short Bull and Kicking Bear, supposed to be united are moving northward with the intention of seeking a s reservation in Northern Dakota or crossing into Canada. Fifty lodges and a band of stolon ponies are with them. Troops will leave early in the morning to head them off and deliver them as prisoners at Fort Lincoln. , Win.

He sent to the clerk'a desk and had read the recent inaugural message of Governor Tillman, of South Carolina, which, ha aaid, waa an official declaration that a mass of colored men of the South were not fit to exercise the elective franchise; that the white people of the South were in control of the state goverumout and proposed to maintain control at all hazard. These propositions showed plainly, Dolph aaid, that the oolorod people of the South had not been permitted to vote as long aa they voted the Republican ticket or where their voting would secure Republican control. Vest moved an amendment instructing th committee to inquire further whether by any state legislation any citizen of the United States was denied the to work on public improvement by right - reason of their color. He read a clause from the recent statute of the Oregon Republican legislature authorizing the building of a bridge and providing that none but white labor should be cm- nloyed on the work. It might be. Vest said, that the provision was intended to exclude Chinese labor, but the language of the statute exeludexl the Mongolian, Indian and negro. Democratic states had never denied the negro a right to ' earn his broad by his honeet labor. Dolph replied, and in further discussion an allusion to Tillman's message brought out the declaration from Butler that he waa perfectly willing to stand by 'that message. Dolph said, that he was informed that Senator Butler himself had threatened the colored men in his employ that he would discharge them if they voted the Republican ticket Butler replied that whoever made that statement was guilty of a deliberate and wilful falsehood. Hoar arose and said he had made the statement, having read within 24 hours in a public document the testimony of the senator from South Carolina before the committee in which he said he had told th colored people on his plantation that he should dismiss them if they voted the Republican ticket. Butler Then the .remarks made applies, of course, to the senator from Massachusetts. Hoar replied that he waa not to be deterred from saying what he had to say either by the manner or behavior of Butler. The resolution then went over until tomorrow. The elections bill was taken up and Blodgett and Walthall spoke in opposition to it Hoar then referred to the incident of. the morning again and had read the testimony in question, which was from the minority report made to the house in 1876. In it Butler as saying that ho is represented gave tickets to the colored men and told them' they had the right to vote the Republican ticket if they pleased. That they were free men, but, if they exercised that right and imposed taxes upon him that would destroy his property and prospects he should throw himself back on some rights he had and see that they loft his plantation.
