FKIOAY, JULY 19, 1871/

The liidiaEiapoUs News has he largest eirculatton ^of any daily paper in Indiana. !♦! — Yelixiw Jack hu appeared in the Brooklyn nary yard. It Is thought the disease was generated there by dredging about the how of a steamer. *

CiiAiu.Es Foster’s renomination tor congress in Ohio la worrying the democrats of that state badly, in spite of the fact that they “fixed” his district so that only a democrat Am hope for election. Mr. Foster’s ability makes them fear he may be returned anyhow. ♦ - — Thi Dtsiiatch can see no greater danger to the country in electing democrats to othie who “grabbed” than there is In electing r«r publican grabbets; nor has it yet 1^ n able to determine why it was right and iPoper for Orant^md Rajesto put “confederate brigadiers” into federal offices, and yet be a great and heinous crime for democrats to do the same thing.—[Lafayette Dispatch. The Dispatch evidently doesn’t know that it makes a great deal of difference “whose ox ia gored.” A Lokpon 'Rmes Constantinople dispatch aays two days ago a boat’s crew of English sailors, a lieutenant, midshipman and ten sailors, landing from a man-of-war crplsiog In the gulf of Saros, near the Russian line, were made prisoners, and that another boat sent to look for themwas fired upon, two bollets passing through the boat. If this is true there will be an explanation and apology, or a fight in ahort order.

Some e£bots of the insurance steal perpetrated by Auditor Henderson and the Journal and Sentinel are manifest in driving insurance companies irdm the state; the Railway Passengers’ Assurance company, for example.not being able to pay the amount of |>olitical ransom demanded of them. The company presided otm by MrBattersbn has further given the state an nnenvlsble notoriety in commercial circle for its policy of official extortion which nearer resembles the toll levied by Bpanish bandits than anything else. Do the authm-ities intend to take any stepe toward the suppression of gambling? It has been about as flourishing a business as any in the oily, and ^ offers the additional inducement of having no license to pay. Besides the numerous games prosecuted under cover of private rooms set apart especially for the business, it haa flouriebed in brilliant gas light and Open day at Chapin ft Gore^s, where one of the merchants met his death, at the bands of a feUow, the other day. Is there to be any effort made against this disgraceful defiance of the law?' *

There isn’t so much heard nowadays about that “d—-n Dutchman of the interior department” as formerly. Secretary Schun has gone steadily forward in the line of his duty, and replies to the accusations of his defamers by the uncovering of one of the many rings which flourished under Grant’s aecretary, Delano. If the stalwarts do not get Mr. Schurt removed soon there wont be a “ring” in the whole interior department. This will be wholly without precedent. It looks as if Mi*. Blaine’s “narrow-minded Prussian” was Indeed a ^y impractical man. * 1 The greenback of the war honestly admits on its l»ce that it is not a dollar, but only a government note of hand; and therefore it carries the legend to every holder. “The United States will' pay one dollar,” It is now jmjposed to repudiate this promise, to declare that “the greenback should not be redeemable in any other kind of money,” thi^t the United States will never pay it, and thus ootvert the government, in the langua^ of the Ttfre Haute SEfaess, “into a ch^ a liar, and a robber.” When the government could not pay It gave promnee; now the goTOiment can pay, and It is proposed to reim^ata.

A aR.inrvtNwsigo of the times is tl.e steady growth of indepentleooe aituxig the negroes in the south, Wadilngtoa Tinsley and Rmile Honore, eolmwd, had both withdrawn from the republican committee of Point Coupee parish, but their names had been nstored without their knowing anything about it. Learning it they served a notice that they would no longer co-operate with the present leaden of the republican party in the parish, whom they pronoonce “mere office-seek-ers and time aervert, working entirely for their own interest and not the public good,” and they advise the colored people to use their franchise “as we intend to do—independently.” At the same lime they want it underato/id that they are still republicans, and “fully endorse” the president's policy. Tinsley is a methodist preacher and the must prominent colored man in the parish. Honore haa been sheriff, legislator and was secretary of state on Packard’s ticket in 1876, When the colored people begin to think and act for themselves their future is as secure and safe as that of any citiieiis. Wm. Hekry Smith, collector of customs at Chicago, is attracting attention from other causes than the conspicuous ability he has shown in the administration of af. fairs entrusted to him. The Chicago Times says Mr. Smith, Revenue Collector Hervey and Postmaster Palmer, of that city, received large consignments of “confidential circulars” from the headquarters of the republican national eommitt.-e, signed by George C. Gorbam, secretary, .(who is also secretary of the senate) to the effect that the said committee “call with confidence upon you, as a republican, for such contribution in money as you may feel willing to make, hoping that it may not be less than 5 per cent. The committee deem it proper, in thus appealing to republicans generally, to inform those who happen to be in federal employ that there will be no objection in any .official quarter to such contribution.” Messrs. Harvey and Palmer, according to the Times, have complied with the request for 6 per cent, of confidence. But Mr. Smith, according to the same paper, decorated Mr, Gorham with several titles effectively portraying his notion of a man who would “levy blackmail” on government employes, told his clerk to “chuck” the circulars into the waste basket, and concluded by hazarding the opinion that “the employes of that department would never contribute a cent for political purposes under his administration.” Thb treasury department will make another effort to put in circulation the 6,000,000 (and more)of silver dollars which have been coined in accordance wiib the new law, the law-officer having decided that the department has authority to pay the most of transportation of the silver dollars from the mint to the subtreasuries. The policy of trying to put out among the people the large amount on hand will be tried Ufficia] letters received here from California say that the new dollar U treated as a subsidiary silver coin, and that there is uo demand whatever for it. The banks refuse the new dollars, except as a special deposit. The coinage of the new dollar has been practically stopped at the San Francisco and Oafson City, rievada, mints, the supply on hand being largely in excess of the demand. The amount of bullion on hand at both mints is very small. It is regarded as significant that the owners of the Bonanza mines refuse to sell the government bullion except for g ild. No purchases have therefore been m.ide — [Washington dispatch to Ohiedgo JoornaL There are some notable facts in this extract: 1. The first is, that thd^new dollar will not stay out in the money circulation of the country. The reason is that a sufficient amount has not yet been coined to displace gold as the basis of the currency. Our stock of gold is over two hundr^ millions of dollars. It will therefore require a larger issue of silver than can be furnished for many years to displace it. And as the treasury officers are limited in the amount of capital they may have invested in silver at one time, they can not buy any large portion of bullion. This will leave the silver dollar for redemption purposes, and check the disposition to send in greenbacks, and perhaps help the secretary toward immediate resumption without serious draft on his gold. 2. A second fact especially commendetl to the “fiat” people is that legal tender laws can not compel banks to receive deposits nor owners of property to sell it for fiat money. It will pay debts at its lawful rating, but it will not buy property, unless its market value corresponds. Buying and selling is not regulated by law as paying debts. And the attempt to, found a system of finance on this instead of that, is the palpable absurdity on which rests the whole fiat scheme. 3. When the mania for “cheap money” has died out, as it surely will, cheapness will be found to be but another name for worthlessness. Gold is the common measure of values throughout the civilized world, made so, not by legal tender laws, but the preciousness of the metal; —as an embodiment of the largest value in the least bulk. It will then be seen that silver and paper must be related to gold by market price, not acts of law, Idiotio Fig-arlng. A writer in the Indianapolis Sun, in advocating hie greenback mania, gives the following proof of the need of General Harrison’s aaylum: To show that the inflation of naper obligations has been vastly greater riian even this enormous decrease in that which was used as currency, we ^would call attention to the ^tement of the secretary of the treasury in December, 1865, when he said that individually the American people were never as free from debt as they were at that time. This statement is corroborated by the statement of Mr. Haabem before the house committee as well as by the experience of business men genei^Ily. Let us then take the statement made in Mr. Tilden’s letter of acceptance, nearly ten years afterwards, in which be Ba}8 that 95 per cent, of the buriness of the country is done by a system of notes, checks, drafts, etc. This statement is also geosmily received in flnancfai circles as representing somethhig near the truth. In the . light of these statements let us compare the two periods, in 1866 with government paper that was used as currency amounting lb more than 11,600,000,000 our people were never free from debt. In 1876, for every dollar of the $760,000,000 of currency in use onr people have out $19.00 of private ohligattona^ nearly all of which is interest bearing! 1. Notice 4he method of ascertatning fact®. An opinion of the secretary of the

treasury, amflrmed by Mr. Senbora, Is eufficient foundation for asMrtinx that there was practically no personal indebtednew in 1866. And yet the government reports show that the loans and discounts of the banking institutions was over $700,000,000,—not to speak of any other form of indebtedness. In 1876 the same reports show these loans to be over $000,000,000. And this increase of'$200,000,000 no more than balances the increase of population and business; nay, not so much when the southern states are counted. 2. Mr. Tilden’a statement of the volume of businem done on credit, compared with that done by money payments, is perverted into a proof of great [lersonal indebtedness in 1876. This idiot does not seem to know that Mr. T.’s statement applies to 1866 as well as 1876; to England as well as the United Htatee; and means no more than that the great volume of commerce in the civilized world is done "by paper eichunges, rendering less money needful in civilization, and not more. The tables of our foreign commerce, or of the New York clearing house, illustrates this. In 1876 this institution embraced 59 banks its exchanges amounted to $19,874,815,361, its casli balances paid $1,015,532,037, or about 5 per cent. Any one who concludes that these banks owed nineteen thousand millions of debts at any time, is hopelessly beyond the pale of reason. And yet this clearance business is precisely the fact stated by Mr. Tilden and often stated by others, to prove the need of good money as its basis of account, instead of a bad, fluctuating money. Let the reader multiply this volume of currency by the proiJortion of personal debt given above and he will have further proof of the recklessness of these greenback teachers. There is another point worthy of consideration. Just now it is the fashion to denounce the banks, especially the national banks, as wmbinations of “capitalists,” Shylocks eating out the substance of the people by the interest they collect, etc. But these capitalists only bold $930,000,000 of the $13,300,000,000 of the debt which this writer says the people owe. The other $12,370,000,000 is held by each other. If the banks get ten per cent on all their loauB, the people pay tliem $93,000,000 a year. But they pay each other outside the hanks at the same rate, $1,237,000,000! So then then this luminary proves that the people themselves are the monsters who are eating each other up. Verily, these are the days of financial idiocy.

eVKUENT COMJUKNT. -Jt* The democratic managers in Pennsylvania are straining every nerve to effect a coalition between their party and the nationals in the coal regions where the prind[>al strength of the third party is. The franking privilege has not been lost on Representative Baker of New York, who has loaded the Oneida post office with nearly a car load of books and documents sent free from Washington this season. Patterson, the senatorial thief of South Carolina who has been visiting the Camerons, says Don’s re-election will come to pass, “but it will cost him a heap of money.” Patterson is an expert. Mrs. Agnes Jenks says that if she goes into politics again it W'ill be as a “national.” She could supplement Battler’s efforts os Gail Hamilton does Blaine’s. One might however, leave Paris and sail from Havre to Hamburg, aud go thence by railtoMenna; or sail from Marseilles to Trieste, a favorite trip, and thence by rail to Vienna.—[Journal’s guide book editor. One might also go by. rtdl from Paris to Bordeau or Lisbon, and thence sail tlirough Gibraltar and up the Mediterranean to Trieste and thence by rail to Vienna, a favorite trip; or by rail from Paris to Toulon, thence sail through Gibralter and up the ocean between France and England, Denmark and Bcandanavia, turning all the corners carefully and so into the Baltic and through it to Oronstadt, Russia; thence by rail through Poland, Silesia and Moravia, and thus take Yienna in the rear, as it were. Or, as “our Jim” and the Journal’s Mr. “Blackfern’f are probably traveling at government expense, they might take a flat-boat on the Seine and float down to Havre; and then embark and come west around by Australia, and, still keeping west, cross the Indian ocean and come through the Red sea without welting a garment into the Mediterranean and up the Adriatic to Trieste, and thence by rail to Vienna. Hayes has brought contempt upon civil service reform, and made the very ter'm the synonym of machine politics.—[Lafayette Journal. This can not be called a post office view of civil service reform. The grand jury of Memphis has cotwidered the social evil and believing it’ean not be suppressed, recommends that it be banished to a restricted quarter in the suburbs and be there taxed. The New York Sun makes a “black list,” as it were, of the congressmen who voted to “support fraud,” as the Sun calls the resolution declaring Hayes’s title unassailable. It prints “215 believers in the sanctity of fraud,” “21 not worshippers of fraud,” and “39 not voting—reasons not stated.” Here is what we said: “The law says ‘all officers shall be entitled to one ration, or to commutation therefor, while at sea,’ and further provides that 30 cents shall in all cases be the commutation price of the navy ration. The officers who accompany the secretary on this official duty therefore receive the princely sum of SK> cents per day in addition to their regular pay. They furnish their own provisions.—[Journal. That la exactly what The News charged. The Journal did say that, to show that the government was at no expense in feeding officers who were “touring” with the secretary of the navy; either giving them a ration, which is abundance for one man or allowing them 30 cents. Yet when the Journal wanted to excite class hatred against a democratic coatractor it declared a laboring man could not live on sixty cents a day. QuesUon: “If it lakes 60 cents a day to feed a laboring landsman, how can a navai officer live on half the same?" The new loan negotiated by the Japanese government is only sold to natives. The holders of bonds are not even allowed to transfer them to foreigners.

Beae—fleld’a In the houfie of lorda yeoterday, a brilliant OMemblsfe, incloainf tbeprinoasH ai WalM awl olher membera of the myal family, awaited Beaconsfield, whose pretence was greeted with cheers. He explained the action of the congrem in a long speech, which is of little detailed interest to this side of the world. Aostria wns allowed to have Bosnia becanae Turkey would have to maintain 50,000 troops there in the cause of order. The giving up of Sofia was justified by the retention of Ichtiman pass and the giving up of Varna by the retention of Galotz, the most conaiderable port in the Black sem for Turkey. The boundaries of the Balkans were ileclared to be suflicient for New Turkey, becan^ its frontier in any case must be courage and intre» , pidity, and he t'Hought the defender.! of Plevna could be trusted to take care of themselves. The new state of Eastern Roamelia was first to ^ be called Southern Bulgaria, but fearing absorption in the future it has been calleil Eastern Roumelia, and no limit placed on the sultan’s right to defend it, Greece was snubbed with the remark that nothing short of Constantinople and fresh provinces would have filled her expectations. The government had consistently resisted the principle of a partition of Turkey, because, exclusive of the consideration of morality, it believed that an attempt at partition would inevitably lead to a long and sanguinary war. (5oniinaing, he said: “It was remarkable that after a great war and prolonged negotiation of all the powers, that the Russians, as strictly ana completely as the others, came to the unanimous conchisien that the best chance for the tranquility of the world was to retain the sultan as a part of the European system.” The cities given Russia iti Armenia he declared were unimportant and not worth the trouble their defense would cause, while at the same time Russia deserywi something. But to prevent consequent anarchy in Asia Minor, which the Russian possession of Armenia would cause, England had decided it best to take upon herself ihe guarantee of a peaceful condition there, otherwise Russia would wAt the country. “Let Rus»ia keep what she has obtain^. England now said ‘Thus far and no further.’ Asia is large enough for both RuMiia and England. There ia no reason for constant war or fears of war between them.” England’s substantial interests in the east were such also that she must have g permanent lodgment, and to avoid wounding French susceptibilities Syria and Egypt had not been touched.. In summing up the general results of the treaty as regards European Turkey, he pointed out that, exclusiveof Bosnia and Bulgaria, it still contained 60,000 square miles and a population of 6,000,000. When the line of the Balkans was fixed Prince Bismarck had said: “Turk^ in Europe once more exists.” He (Lord Beaconsfield) did not think such results unsatisfactory or inadequate, even if obtained after a strugle like that of the Crimea. Russia having only obtained Be^ar.abiain Europe naturally looked for a reward to her conquests in Armenia which were allowed for the reasons above stated.

Ooo4 Indians. The Ute and Apache Indians have all agreed to go on the new reservations, and no further trouble ia anticipated.

The Grant Movement Abroad. [Pans letter to Buffalo (N. Y.) Giurier.] Gen. Grant is represented as very mad at the summary dismissal to his friend, Gen, Torbert, from the consulate-general-ship here. Those who enjoy the ex-presi-dent’s intimacy say that he is putting all •hese slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in a “black book,” and that “when he comes to his own again” he will get even with the Hayes crowd. By “coming to his own” it is understood that Grant firmly believes that he is sure of renomination and election. His son, the piquant Jesse, confided to a French friend the other evening that “pa cab be president whenever he wants to; he gets a bushel of letters a day from home saying that the jicople oant get along without him in the office.” The confiding Jes«e only put into words What that peculi.ar group of lime-servera about the ex-ring president hints. If it w'ere left to his own volifion Grant would return to America to-morrow. He hates Europe, After the first novelty there is nothing in the old world to interest a man of his sort. He confessed artlessly tea gentleman in Borne that lie was glad to get out oi Germany because they bored him to go and see the churches, while he was perfectly satisfied to be in England, where the horses were the best in the world. In England, too, he was made much of, whereas on the continent he is of no more consequence than thousands of his countrymen. He was wearied beyond exprespreseion iajtaly, and quit the country as soon as he could make the rapidest possisible trip over the prominent routes. His first visit to Paris-—thanks to the arts of Noyes and Torbert, aided by a colony of rich vulgarians crazy for social distinction —was something of an excitement. He was entertained at a very loud dinner at the Grand hotel, paid for by contributions, 30 francs a ticket, and was then passed from house to house as a reigning lion. A few journalistic claquers attached to the personal suite turned on the regulation lights and threw the shadow of these festivities across the ocean, to impress America with the social status in a foreign country of the friend and patron of Babcock and the whisky ring. It was shortly after Conklin’s return that letters began to come to Grant from bis old cronies. The first to write here was Robeson, saying that if he could “keep it up long enough” and remain outside the party wrangles then boiling about the shaky foundation of the Hayes fraud, he must inevitably be nominated in 1880. From that hour the pvritose has grown, and in pursuance of it Grant has been counseled tort main abroad until just before the nomination by a series of colossal demonstrations in various states.

Comparative Treasury Statement. The treasury department has issued a statement showing the amount of state, national and United States notes, etc., outstanding at the doss of each fiscal year from 1860 to 1878 inclusive. Total amount of currency oiitslauding June 30, 1860, Vas $207,102,477, all of which was state bank circulation. The amount outstanding on the 30th of June,1878,was as follows: State bank circulation, $426,504; national bank circulation, $324,514,284; demand notes, $<5,229,750; legal tender notes, $34,068,100; one and two year notes of 1863, $90,485; compound interest notes. $274,9^; fractional currency, $16,647,768; total amount in currency. $688,597,275. Accordingto the statement the value of the paper dollar with coin on July 1, 1878, was 99 4-10; the value of currency in gold was $684,165,691. ^ The Four Per Cents. Owing to the numerous applications for the registered four per cent, bonds of small denominations, the treasury has been unable, with all the clerical force which could be employed thereon, to fill the’ orders as rapidly as received. Purchasers of bonds should understand, however, that the interest will run from the date of payment for bonds and not from the date of their issue, and that the little delay from time to time on account of suddenly increased orders will result in no loss or injury. The department is nsing every possible exertion,however, to prevent all delays ip the future, and in a few days will probably be able to fill all orders npon their receipts.

Many students from nei;vhboring colleges are earning money in the White mountain hotels this season by waiting on tables and doing other menial work. Jn one hotel a Cambridge man is a waiter, a Darfmonth senior is assistant head waiter, and a freshman from Bates college sells photographs in the comdor.

A gentleman who resided for many years in South America has ret^ntly written a paper attempting to prove that the custom iu vogue in this and in other civilized countries of shoeing horses is a senseless and injurious one.

The gam by this method of treatment is claimed to be, an increa.H«l surenesB of footing, the absense of diseases that are now occasioned by the practice of shoeing^ and a limunition in the expen se of keeping a horse.

Vkm Pass f Meeihaaist. tWfjwitiin Ajawteaa.] Mr.Tharlow Waed tells that ten* of dtouMnda of wtrijtg w<»a«B have been tamed out of esfiloyBient by the sewing machine, and multitadea have bean driven in ooaaeqaeiieie to a life of crime. Where is the proof? The census report* show two things in this connection; first, thet ^e eamincs nf sewing women beve largely increased since the introduction of eewing machines; and second, thet the namber of {wrsons earning a living by sewing Has increased since that invention was made, ia a ratio considerably larger than the ratio of increase for the entire population. The troth is, that so far from lessening employment and wages of women* the sewing niachine has largely^ increa*^ both, fl Mr. Weed has anv private evidence to the contrary, we ahoula be glad to see it. And so withthe “hundreds of thousands of farm hands” that have been thrown out of farm work by farm machinery. Where are they? The bust evidence we can find—the census nports—show that since the introduction of agricultural machine]^ there has been not only a large and rapid increase in the number of farm hands employed in this country, but the rate of sudi increase has been much greater than the rate for the l>opulation as a whole. Mure than that, as shown in a late issue of this paper, the increase of farm hands has been vastly greater and more rapid than would have been possible without the aid of machinery. As Elihu felt constrained to temark in the most ancient of symposiums, recorded in the book of Job, “Great men are not alwavs wise, nor does wisdom always come witli age.” Witness again the honorable senator from Kentucky, Mr. Beck. “We have machinery,” he says, “thatcan do the work of two hundred million men- and every niacbinc has turned out of work as many men as it can do the work of.” Such ing the case we can not escape the conclusion that our machinery has usurped the employment of more men than were ever engaged in manual production in all the world! Had Mr. B^k been possessed of the slightest desire to know the real relation of machinery to labor, he could have easily learned that in every instance the introduction of machinery has been attended bv an increase in the number of men employed in the trade or trades affected. Abundant evidence of thii groat law of industrial economy has been given in recent issues of this paper. Here are Pome figures even more slgfiifcint than any before given than any before given, since they cover a time of great industrial deprepsion. The little state of Rhoile Island is nothing if not mechanical. There never was a when machinery waa more rapidly introduced and improved than durii^ the ycara between 1870 and 1875. Comparing the manufacturing stetistics of the state given in the national census report of the former year, and those of the state census of the latter year, it aproars that notwithstanding^ the panic and its results there was, during these years, a considerable increase in the number of hands employed and iu the wages paid.

In Ohio, as In several otlier western statesj the progress of manufactures and the increose in the numbtr of bauds employed were very HiueiTgreater. The census of 1870 gives the value of the manufactured products of Ohio as $260,713,000, The report of the state auditor for 1875 makes the value of the same line of prudnets $400,000,000. Jt is true that during late yeara fman-ci-iJ disasters, not in any way due to laa- < hincry, have stopped many factories and thrown many oiieratives out of employment; but the number of such men out of work is as nothing compared with the swarms of laborers thrown out by the stopping of city “improvements,” and other J'.lw of like nature.And tboae industries into which machinery has been most largely and successfully introduced arc just the ones which suffer least to-day. and have suftered Icaat sin^ the hard times licgan. It is time the cant about machinery burring niea was banished from respet-ta-ble society; time that men who have learned that the world is not flat ahall ham also the equally well demonstrated trnih that it is not possible for machinery Ui give employment to steadily increasing numbers, ami at the same time turn out of employment every year twice as many men as were ever at work. It is had enough for Kcarneyites and socialist# to indulge in such nonsense. But from senators and “venerable etatesmen” it is iutolerable.

Further investigations bv our spemal corres|!ondent confirm the inference that the nationals in this state depends more on greenback than on the labor ,,reform wing of the new party. They #h«*w,‘likew«e,that both democratic and republican managers are quite prepared to “trade” with ihe leaders of the new organization, without any regard to financial principles, if only they can induce the greenb tekt rs to n >mt» nate candidates who will, a# member# of asscmblv, vote for the party nominre for senator, or as representatives in congress, act with the p rty caucus. It would be the heij^t of madness to consider the financial qaestioa as finmiy eettl^ when, in a state like New Y'ork, it is ignored whenever it stand# -^Ti the war of a division of offices. It is equally aboard to pooh-pooh the influence of a third party which, in some of the m<iet |)oiiuIou8 sections of this stat^ can im[mse on the old parties any terms that it pleases. The appearance of nationalism as a party solvent in a state like North Carolina is another soggestive indicat’ion of the struggle before the country in regard to Slime of the fundamental principles of financial {lolicy, if not of social organiza-

Th* Potter Investigation. Before the sub-committee at New Orleans, yesterday, L. M. J. dark, colored, formerly recorder of mortgages in East Feliciana parish, testified that he had two or three interviews with E. L. Weber recently. “Weber wanted me to recant my testihiony given before the house committee. The testimony then given wa# p-uew Weber offered me $175 and a p wition at $75 per month if *I would testify a# he wished. Dnla also asked me to go with W’eber. My impresaion ia "that Dulg wanted me to make money. He »»'•’ of it had bwn sent New\ork. Dula WTehor was to give him $500 to te7;tify.” The witness had not been in the parish since 1875. He was afraid to return. He said the colored people never banded bother for unlawful parpoae, and never thought of such a tbi.r.^ Gwrge A. Swssey. colored, fomerly resided in West Feliciana parish, now employed in the custom house, htd interviews with Weber a few days agm and hefore he went to W’ashington, “Me wanted me to take back what I had testified to before the senate committee. J refused to do it” The witness refu#^ to report a private conversation hett^a himself and »Veber. He said his testimony before the senate committee was from information received from others. The witnes# is afraid to p back to the pariah. The feeling ajjainst him is solely on account of politics. Swiroy denied that there hod been any organization of the negroes for violence against the whites. He said the whites started the report to serve their own ends and afford themselvsa a pretext for violence. Milton Jones, colored, a member of the legislature from Point Coopce parfrh, lives opposite Baybu Sara. In the fall of 1876, E. W’eber, Swasey, Armstead and others .came to my houae one night, and said the bulldozer# had l>een after them. W’eber wanted me to take him to Waterloo to take tlie boat for the city. He said they would not let him go from Bayou Sara. 1 took W’eber to W’aterloo that night E. L. WVber was recalled. He produred a numfy'r of leltere called for by Governor Ckii, but did not produce copies of his owiwletters to W’. E. Chandler, as he bad [iroinised to do,saying that he had not been able to find them. The letters from Anderson and Chandler made iiuiuiry of W'eber for information cuncarning the Sherman letter. Chandler, under date of March J5, says; “Mrs. Jenks and Andereon called on ne racentlv and told their stories. Mrs. Jenks said she had the letter about which I wrote safely deposited in New Orleans. Since her return to New Orleans she haa written me a letter, hut says nothing of the supposed letter. You do not inform me why you think the supposed better to be genuine, nor where yon think it Is. If yon get any light on the subject please inform me.” Yellow Favor at Hraokljra. The yellow fever has broken out at the’ Brooklyn navy yard. So far three death# have occurred. Dr. IT.

Ify has since made a suppiernental confestioQ ititing that he committed three murders previous to that of Daul* tliie#. The first was an Indian who claimed an undisputed right to hunt where lie was operating in 1851. He killed aBcotchmao named Duncan McC'araeron. with whom he was bhying frirs, near Big Epiongo Jake, Canada, in 1861. He k'lled Michael Crowley, on Shad lake, near Bonspheal Point, Canada. Crowley waa suppcieed to have money. Me killed McC’ameron because they ha<l trouble about-a divioion of their stock of furs. He also confesses other minor crimes.
