A committee appointed by the Minnesota Legislature to Investigate the transaction of the late Auditor. Charles Mi 1! rath, on account of the school and swamp lands which were in hi charge as Ind Commissioner rxr oficio, report that they have di-overed defalcations on the part of Mcllrnth to the amount of $,.Vi!. It i also ascertained that Mcllrath had executed no ortlcUl Iniud since the commencement of hi last official term, and the school fund of the State will therefore be an absolute loser to the amount above mentioned. The Shreveport Telejram, a Republican paper, denies most emphatically that the murderers of the Couhatta prisoners were citizens) ef that place, and add that the Governor must have been misinformed. Governor Osborn of Kansas on the ."th made another request to the President for arm to protect the frontier from Indians. The Governor say in hi letter to the President, that since the ltith of June last sixteen citizens of Kana. are known to have been murdered ty the Indians, and that not one of the niurderr has been apprehended or punished. He then-fore arsrur that as the I'nited state military forces furnished are not sufficient to protect the settler, arm should be furnished the latter so that they may protect themselves. The St. Paul paper state that the defalcation of Mcllrath. late Auditor of Minnesota, will amount to fp)o,ist. That gentleman, however, published a card in the New York paper of the 5th, requesting a ucnion of public opinion until he could have an opwrtunity of refuting the charge made against him; stating that th-? investigation of the committee were entirely ex parte and made for jolitica! effect, and that at the proper time he would vindicate hi character against the assault made upon it.

A white mm named Hall, who was locked up in jail for being concerned in the murder, by six masked men, of an old negro in Putnam i-ounty, Tenn., wa a few nights since himself taken out of the jail by a party of masked men and shot. The Ifc-mocratic and Conservative State Central Committee of Ixuisi.ma have sucd an addre to the ieople of the I'nion, in reference to the present exigency of affair In that State. They say that the people of that State have for two year appealed in vain to the (ieneral Government for protection against the Illegal act of the Federal District Judge in the State; that having failed, their only hope of relief I In participating in the election held under the very auspice of the usurping State Government; that the number of murder and crime committed in the State have been magnified and distorted for the purpose of necuring Federal intervention, and that under the Knfon-ement act the military force of the General Government are to le plai-ed under the control of the United States Marshal, who is also the Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, and the District Attorney, who I also one of the main pillar of the Republican party in the Slate, and that such troop will lie ued to overawe ami Intimidate their political opponent In the coming election. The addn-s conclude : In this emergency the people of IotiisUna appeal to their teliow-cltiten ot the I'nion for a beannir. They ask the ludgment of an enlightened pulilie opinion. They assert their fidelity to the Nation, but they sou rn an od ious usurpation gnawinf at Ihe vitals ol the State.

The place In Ix)uisians designated for troop to prevent outrage are New Orleans. Raton Rouge, Shreveport, Alexandria, Monroe, Harrisburg and St. Martinsville. Mrs. Zerlinda Samuel, the mother of the Jame Itoy. publishes a card In the Kansas City Time, denying that her son wen engaged In the late Lexington stage-coach rolbery, and adding that she will in a few day publish evidence showing that her ly were not at or near Lexington on the day of the robliery. A convention of Republican of the Southern State i to lie held at Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 12, the ohjet-t of which I stated to be to set forth to the nation the true condition of the South, and show the need and suggest reforms necessary to secure the perfect reconstruction of those State. It is expected the President, Vice-Presidi nt and other of national reputation will be present.

Their line of retreat, it is stated, wa strewn with abandoned property and broken-down animals. Gen. Miles' loss wa three men badly wounded, while the Indiaus lost some twen-ty-tive or thirty killed and wounded. The Missouri State Republican Committee have resolved to call a State Convention, to bo held at Jefferson City n the 2ol instant. They recommend, however, that no State ticket lie nominated for the ensuing cam paign, " but to leave the party perfectly free to uport such ticket a shall best secure economy and good government In Missouri." Dispatches from New Orleans and Galveston, on the "Jth, deny the rejtort that there were cases of yellow fever In those cities. The (ialveston health officer say there ha not been a single case of yellow fever in any of the Gulf porU of the State of Texas during the year 1S74.

The Spanih Ministry resigned on the 4th. It i said that Sett a t a will lie at the head of the new Cabinet. The official report of the i-omtnision apointed to investigate the circumstance of the escape of Itaaine, implicate the jailor, and state that they were instigated by Colonel Villette, Itaaine' aid-d--cainp, to facilitate the prisoner' flight, but acquit the garrison of any complicity in the ailair.
