In hisOH'ii House p-e h at the beginningnf the lat campaign. Senator Harrison aii-u'd hU il league, Senator ViMirheex. and the I Vnio-ratic leaders geiK taily, of iudirlcreme to the National honor by refusing appropriation- to re-habilitate the American navy. An ancient lady, ovkt upon a time, had equally ,iom1 ground for a-cuing a community of having the it h, liecau-e her remedy wa refused. Senator Harrison wanted to vote millions for a few phich-lieck st-cl ships if the Kobe mian typ-; Senator Yoorhees wanted to wait until the ra-tls were gone 1 fore inakng the investment and beginning thecn!Tpric. That was the diflerencc between them. Senator Yoorhi r s' opMisition to an immediate vote of money to U- 'Xp ttded under the old ring management was denounced as unpatriotic, ami the l.'cpuhlh-au press of Indianajili witlKHit an exception, sharcil this opinion with great intensity. The News urged that tlse Nation was as liable to nenl a navy as a Texas man sometime need a pitol. and it n;lilnt wait until tlie value of the Naval Advisory-Hoard's exM-rimeuta! cruisers was determined. The iVmocrat did not deny the m--d of a navy, on the contrary, they gave that a. an additional reason the liiioncst methods obtaining at the naval department why the Republicans should go. ;ive us liotiest men in that service, that the money appropriated may Ik- honestly e.x-s-nded. Neither Senator lIarrioti nor the K-pub-li-an pre- will Ik- likely to condemn S.-cre-larv Whitney's action in regard to the Jvlphin. the first of four vessels built for the (iovernment by the same contractor. It was tested and found wanting. It was. shown to le utterly worthless, but for a hange of administration it certainly would have been received by the (Iovernment ami the money paid. The price of the IMphin would have gone to join the millions that have already In-en stolen. The stopjwtge of the stealings in that department is a great reform. S) far. so good. Tlie e"p!e had a right to exjK'ct this from the I Vniocrats' care for the public interest. A war ship that is exactly what it purjKH ts to Ik- w ill find a purchaser in the Government, and none other need apply. Contractors must fulfill the terms of their contract. This is s;,.rotary Whitney meaning, and John Koach's tent's will not excite large syniM'th'. This is the most emphatic sign we have had of the Government under Mr. Cleveland's administration, returning to the principles by which it wa characterized in its more virtuous days. lr. X. (i. Smith, of I-ewisville, Henry t'ounty, the IVmocrat who tried for Congress in the old Kumt Jitrict, tells me that he has lieen authorized to lreak to the rresident the intelligence that tlie I Vtnocrats of his section are terribly dissatisfied, and that if an election was to occur to-day as many as LU.iOo of them would refuse to go to tlie olls. "The watchword in 1.SS.V says Dr. Smith, "sounded the bugle blast that gained .he victory of ISst. It was bold, inspiring, comprehensive, irresistible. The watchword that awakened enthusiasm was: 'The Republican j.arty must go." Stand not Uon the order of going, but go at once, was tlie full meaning of the election that made ; rover Cleveland President. This was uuderstiMid by every IVmocrat in the land. Hendricks' declaration, we want to examine the iMMiks.' found a hearty resjMtise in evry dell and vale, on every plain and on every hill and mountain crag. Was the dcnumid, 'turn tlie rascals out,' mere platform twaddle? Evidence that it was, evidence that there is no need of hurrying, is destroying the IViuocratic party. The iVtnoeracy commissioned "rover Cleveland ami charged him with this iecial duty. His orders are brief, plain, positive, free from )olicy claf-trai and subterfuge. The Democratic jarty can tolerate no evasion; the rascals must Im-turned out. They were apointed Im cause they were Republican and they should le dismissed for the same reason. It is not right that wesliould I culled tiHn to prove them offensive partisans; it is certainly enough to know that in olitics they differ with a majority of the American people. That alone is a good and suuicicnt reaon for their going. I t is wrong to im--iseuKn I Vniocrat the duty of convicting their ncighliors of official infidelity. They have no right to demand something at the hand of the IVmocrat. the performance of which will destroy the harinoneou relation of neighlMirs. To prove a man a Republican should lie quite Mirliciciit. but in. proving him offensive there i something of questionable decency. Nor is there anything to cheer the party leaders in the character of mo.t men appointed to office. Newspajers presuming to .xak for the Administration chronicle the fact that such an appointment is good for the reason that the apxdntei- is unidentified with iolitics. The great mass of the jViiuM-rutic irty is i t taking kindly to the disosiiion to avoid its acknow ledged great men." . Dr. Smith feels all this every Democrat visiting Washington feels it but no man ha yet told it to the President. Kidd told me that Charley Reeve wu Kin to talk to the iVesiilcnt of thes I'uited States in the interest of th IVnuK-ratie )arty like a Dutch uncle. .Mr. Reeves did talk to him, and he a.ured him that the Democratic patty was delighted, even in the most re-mole townsbis, with the administration, indorsing the lYndlctonian idea of retaining the Republican tlcjiartment clerk, one and all. If thereis am tiling other than rapt nre among t lie people, Mr. Cleveland has no opMrtimity to hear it. Service Jo the party is certainly iigs:i nst the mau w ho applies for promotion. &' Fully two months have passed since Hay-b-ss W. Hanna lwgan working for a change. Secretary Itayarel gave him au audience. - He had faithfully studied the Secretary's hitory anil his Militi-al theories, all of which the listiiiguished Imlianiaii tre-ateil with great delicacy, and for a jurose. No nun in Americu can make hini'lf more atfrecahle to the learned than Mr. Hanna when he puts his!tart ujMteit. At the conclusion of the interv iew the S cretary authorized Mr. Hanna : m to the rresident that he ha I ihmiIc j1i'in to the transfer. Then came the slander from Craw forebville, which, though transparently false, Mr. Jlanna's friends greatly feared would iincril Lis chances; hut no attention seems to have lieen paid to the I'ost0 ftice story; however the change hung lire, qtiicl rnitig the largest anxiety. Mr. Jlanna's .rrent siition is one worth Imvintr. J P Tl KI-t x. Trnneilyat t hiircti 1'alr. Lvx-KBiK;, Ya., June 21.

Indian Territory, datid the 15 Ii instant, to the effect that great excitement pivvails at that place over the threatened outbreak by the Cheyennes. The Indians known a the Southern Cheyenne. are- making preparation to go on the war atli. Troojs have ln-cn sent to quell the disturbance. A few days since troops were- sent to quell a local disturbance among the same Indian. War !'parliii nt official sre not informell a to the cause of the thrcaU)i-l outbreak on Saturday. If these Indians; go on the war path there will lie great difficulty in quieting them. The Ch -venues are reported to be as troublesome to deal vv ith a- Hit- the Apache. The country, however, in w iiii-li the former live would lie much more advantageous in pursuing them than is the rough, rocky country in which the latter an being followed. News was received at the War I Vpartment late this afternoon to the effect that the diHieulty with the Cheyenne Indians is 1m-c. lining very scrioti. General Augur ha ordered four companies of the Fifth Cavalry to go to the scene of the disturbance, in addition to the companies previously sent to Reno. This makes ten companies at Reno, and three a Iditional com jciiics are- held in readine to go at a moment's notice. General Augur re-c-ommemls the apjiointinent of a commission to ascertain the cause of . discontent. The Southern Cheyennes are located in the western iMirtion of the Territory. . The country is level and devoid of tree. except along the streams. Owing to its great extent it i very easy for the Indians to keep out of the wiy oftrooi.. The lat trouble with the Cheyennes occurred alniut nine year ago. and continual for more than a year. It was eaued by Indians of the tril-e masacreing a w bite family moving overland. The massacre- occurred iii Kanas. The father, mother and daughter were- killed, and four re-maining children taken captive. The daughter who was killed, U-fore she was captured took the life of um Indian with an ax as he ai tempted to get into the wagon in which the children were gathered. Prior to this massacre the Chey ennes l-eeame unfriendty to the white". A number of men disguised a Indians had burned a bridge on the Kanas Pacific Rjilmad for the jmrjiOsc of stopping a train, that they might plunder it. After the destruction of the bridge soldiers w-re sent lo capture the Mirty who burned it. The massacre of the family followed. PIXTK IXMAXS IX OKKmiN. General Pope has transmitted to the War 1 Vpartment an account of the killing of a Pinte Indian named Joe Ity two w hite men in Happy Yalley, Oregon. In commenting tiKn the killing, General l' ie again invites attention to tlie white and Indian outrages, which are increasing in frequency in the southern iart of Oregon. Hcsays the Piute, having no reservation, they are willing to go and frequent that country for subsistence by hunting and fishing. The state of affairs now existing i certain to grow worse, and must filially culminate in oh ii hostilities units u reservation is assigned to these Indians and they are- all placed on it. The Commissioner of Indian Affair has directed an agent to investigate the circniiisrances and report measures looking to the protection of the Indians. lol;i.soxs TAIillF vii:w. In an interview to-day with an AsMN-iated Press reiKirtcr. Representative Morrison, of Illinois, said that he promised to introduce another tariffbill at the fir l session of tiein xt Congress. ".t what time during thu session?" "As soon a 1 can get ready after Congress convenes," tv replied. "Will tinbill provide for u horizontal n-dui-tion as did the measure you introduced during the last Congress?" They say they do not want a horizontal reduction. The truth is they do not want a reduction of any kind. I will provide in the proved bill for about such a reduction in amount us provided for in my last bill. Jt is probable that a 'ihuiiIht of bill for reducing the tariff w ill le introduced, but M-rsonally 1 know of no one who contemplate presenting such a measure for consideration.

He is now Wing dres,! and w ;..i lie out soon," said Dr. Douglas as he chatted, with a -aller at the Grant cottage lietweeii 12 and 1 iclock tiwlay. The iKvctor further cxplaineil, that though the General went to bl a little after JioYIock last night, he did not sice), until almut 11 o'clock. From that time tbroghont the night tiie alicnt had slept well, with few breaks of wakefulness, and the lWf.ir bail not been called until 7 o'clock thi mnrning, when he eleaiiHsl the General's throat and applied coaine to it. At tin- time the' General's voice had 1k ii clearer than at any tiim-since Iiis arrival here. -Tin-Doctor was called a 7 oYleck. The jatienfs puN- was IK. lint after he had become thoroughly areuisitl by the Doctor working over him the pulse incre as! to 72. The General rem lined 111 his Imi of chair all through the foreuvon. It was aft-r midday when he got up, and it was aluint 1 o'clock ; v hen he made his aannice on th- piazza. He wore the new suit which he donned yeterday. and seated him If . in a w illow arm chair 0:1 the north veranda of the -otlag When a caller at thi time akcd the physician how the patient found himself, when he arose he was told that the General wa ih-eidedly b tt r; that all the symptoms were- hs-idelly improved ov r yesterday. The General's voice was not so clear as when he awoke in the morning, but it was quite audible. After listening ten minutes to conversation lietween liicmlte i of the family the General walked into the room used a an oflice took up a pad of mK r, returned to his hair, put on hi .) fades and Ix-gan writing. While engaged tin family was called in to lunch, and the lV-tor, having first wrapel a blanket around the pati-nt's logs, went up to the hotel for his lunch. 'Genera! Grant wa thus left alone on the piaa. and he wrote .teadly. for threv-sjuarters of an hour until 2 o'clock. Then he handed his pad and manuscript to Harrison, who took them inside. Another block of war history had been pr)are"d for insertion at the projs-r plan- in I he General memoirs. When the little -ngine pulled its two cars tip front Saratoga at 3:2t I p. m., and landed a hundred iieopte on the platform of the little rustic depot. General Grant was sitting upon the cottage stoop. The visitors strolhsl up the slope ast tin-otlag-in a proc-sion of twos and thre-es, an impulse was obeyed to salute the General with lifted hat, and the Ocm-ral removd Iii silk hat several times from his head, with firm nourishes, and rcturncU the greetings. The jld guard. Willets, in Grand Army uniform, stood at the foot of the steps to prevent unduly curious jK-rsoii from crowding near or six-aking to the General. Hlack clouds had drifted over the mountain in the morning, and rain fell briskly for ten minutes, hut in the afternoon the sky wa motthsl with juitches of sunshine, and a .pleasint breeze wa blowing. laden with fragrance from pine trees ami lakes. Mot xt MGi:koor, June 21. After the family liiutl to-night the General sat with them un the piazza until nearly X o'clock,, w lien he went within loors and did not reapltear. He had walked less than usual during the day. His writing had tirawn upon the strength usually levot-d to exercise. Tlie air'ffli outside swelling, the iKn-tor .said, was h'ss than last Sunday, and his throat insiib wa no worse. The physician saw no reason more than usual to apprehend a wakeful night for the General, and emphasized hi assurance by going to bed at II o'clock. A little while after the lights in the -ot tage were put mt except the uual light in the General's mom. Midnight The cottage is .lark ami quiet '.-ept the dim light in the sick room. The General has promise of a jniet night. Mt. MiGr.Kot:!:, June 22. When General Grant arnc from his chair on tlie piazza tareyesterday afternoon, he was observed to shrug his shoulders as though he felt a sudden sharp jain alout the lody. "General, you are having a touch" rheumatism,' said Dr. luglas, who noticed the flinching movement of the sick man's shoulder.. "I bc-li-ve we are going! o have a storm, for 1 tY-l the indications myself." Thus the doctor felt able to understand the crobility of the palicnt to shn'p until 12:."o. although he ilined lietween S and t o'clock. The night passed away without the doctors being summoned to the sick room, although several times lieforc mnniiii'j- he ln-ard the rattlinc J cough with which the General clears his throat of secretion. I lirough tlie early morning there were visible indications of the rain d which he had been forewarned by the rheumatic pain lat evening. Finally, at 7 o'clock, the storm pased over the mountain, and for half an hour the rain fell licav il v uion the shingles of th- roof 011 the cottage. Tin General was awake, and at that time Dr. Douglas dresrd his thmat. His puls-was then 72, and his voice quite clear, although the doctor hail 110 thought that it would remain so. Dr. Dottglal went to the hotel lo breakfast at about !) o'clock. "It is jut eight month to-day sintGenera! Grant Ix-f-ame a j-atient," he remarked, as In- sat low n at tin table, and then as he ate he told what he thought of theGcneral's condition. He said the iining of the storm hail disturlied the patient somewhat, but the bright, bracing air that followed the storm would W charming for the sick man. The t ieneral at that time had Ix-en in lied fourten hours, and during" that time he had slept nine hours. He had gone to sleep again, and the physician Ix-licv'i-d lie might sltvp another hour. At III o'clock the Genend rose and s -eined to Ik refreshed by hi rest, and bright 'lied by the ool clear air. Sitting in a fheltcrtsl s'M't on the piazza where the breeze could nt reach him. General Grant quieily )ased the morning until noun, writing part of tin time. At lunch time the General entered the -ot-tage and lid not again apMar outside until Ix-tweeli :t and 4 o'chx-k, w hen be strolled alrfUit the piazza for a short time. He s-kim went indoor. how-ver. for the temperature was alx.ut ?u, and the stiff breeze that had followed the early morning rain rendered light overcoat acceptable, to well icrons. The storm of the morning threw down the one wire from the mountain, and this cut off communication with the outer world. General Grant last ppjieared nut of door t-day abmt ! o'chx-k while the family were at limnr. Iiis May was short. The air, which had all lay bceii ixd, was then chilly, was then chilly, and the cottage was toocixd for the comfort of the family, so the huge tire-place in the jurlir was tilled with logs from tin; mountain woods, and a cheerful blaze roared up the big chimney and nu ktsl tn lheharth. The General Uirii-g the even

At that time his voii-e was sufficiently clear for bim to say to Dr. Douglas. "I have had a comparatively easy lay." At lo o'clock the Ikx-torsaid tlie i icncral was quiet andabjut going to sleep. His pulse is seventy-two and the D'x-tor antici'sites a juiet night. Between in and 11 o'chx-k Dr. Douglas retired.
