31'DJNALD IS FOUND GUILTY.
He Awaits th« Sentence nf t»»e Cour^, Willi a Uaii Bond of $50,00U.
St. Louis, Nov. 22—To-day has been devoted to speeches by the counsel in the case of McDonald. Judges Chester and H. Kruui spoke for the defense and Col. Dyer, District Attorney, for the prosecution. The case was given to the jury, who, after a consultation of three hours, returned a verdict of guilty of all counts of the indictment—eight in number. Judge Krum then asked that the jury be polled, which was done, and each juryman replied affirmatively to the question whether it was his verdict. District Attorney Dyer then asked the court to sentence the prisoner, or order him into the custody of the Marshal. Judge Treat repeated that as the law prescribes toe maximum and minimum amount of punishment, and leaves only limited discretionary powers. He would not pass sentences in any cases, whether the defendants may have pleaded gnilty, or are convicted by a iary, until he has heard the evidence in all cases now awaiting trial. In the meantime the defeadent will be ordered into custody of the Marshal. Judge Krum asked if the court would take further b*il for the prisoner. He is now under $15,000 bail to which the court answernd he would require $50 000. Judge Krum said that the amouut could not be obtained to-night, and the prisoner was given in charge of the Deputy Marshal. Judge Krum will probably make a motion respective of his bail, to-morrow morning on the opening of court. Regarding the pui isument the maximum imprisonment is three years on each count, and the minimum six months.
St. Louis, Nov. 22.—Wm. Mckee, and Oonstaotine Maguire entered into$5,000 each, to-day, on a new indictment found against them jointly, and gave their personal recognizance on the amended indictment against each individually.

THE TURF.
Sad Francisco, Nov. 22.—The President of the Jockey Club says that the race will come off on Thanksgiving, if the weather remains clear in the meantime, and the horses are in condition. Wild Idle has the epizootic, and it is feared that others may be effected.
New York. Nov. 23.—The American Jockey Club is considering feasibility of giving a graud Centennial purse of from $15,000 to S30.000 for a great race, to be run at Jerome Park next season. If a large purse were offered, it is thought that two or three English racers would be entered for the contest, which would be made open to all comers with weight for age. The size of the purse will depend somewhat on the aid they may derive from hotels and railways. The purse will not at all events, be made upon principals governing the California thirty thousand dollars purse where the entrance fee3 were ten per cent of the purse against the hands of the managers, as there are nine entries iu the pendiug Calafomia race aiid twenty seven thousand dollars of the purse is paid by owners of the horses entered. The entrance mouey for the proposed Centennial purse will be added to the stakes, even if the jockey club is obliged to make up a purse entirely.
THE BILLIARD TOURNAMENT.

OUR ARMY.
Animal Report of Gen. Sherman. Washington, Nov. 22.—The annual report of Gen. (Sherman, afters'ating a geographical limit of various commands, frays the aggregate strength of the line of army according to the last reports received, is 1,540 officers, and 24, 031 enlisted men, made up as follows: 5 regiments of artilery, 270 officers, 2,504 idpd 10 regiments of cavalry, 422 officers, 7,206 men 26 regiments of infantry, 648 officers, 11,100 men available recruits, hospital stewarte, ordnance sergeants&c. 3,321 troops during the past winter, in the departmentts of Missouri and Texas, were employed in an arduous and severe winter campaign against the Kiowas, Cheyenne and Comanchie Indians on the border of the staked plains, that have for years bten engaged in depredations on the Texas and Kansas frontiers, resulting in their disarmament aud subjection to authority. If the miliiary commanders can have control over the supplies needed by these Indians, as they now have over their persons, I am convinced by a recent visit that a condition of peace can be maintained* The Sioux Indians have recently made incursions into northern Nebraska, mostly to steal cattle and horses from farms along the Pacific Railroad and north of it. General Crook is of the opiniou tha: the whole army, actimr defensively, cannot prevent these iucursions, aud suggests that troops be statioued iu the midst of the Indians, so as to watch and prevent them leaving on a presence of hunting. This is impracticable unless the army can have supervision of the necessary supplies of these tribes within the reservation. The report of several commissoners, who have, under military escort, recently beeu engaged iu exploring the country, and in negotiating with these Indians will throw much Hirht on the subject. Generally speaking, the damage to life aud property by Iudians is believed to be les3 during the past year, than in any former year, and the prospect is that, as the country settles up, it will be less and less until the Iadians are established on reservation*. But until they acquire habits of industry in farming, or in stock raising, they will need food from the General Government, because the game on which they have hitherto subsisted, has diminished very rapidly.

Probablv no Killing to be D»ne—Figuratiro Death 8ti»«ences,
ture attempt to revive them
even
Fjom the New Yuri Timer. The United Irishmen Redivivi have tried and condemned to death another recreant associate. When it was decreed that Mr. MacGeoghegau must diea''traitor's death," it was understood that Mr. Walsh, a determined map peddler, was appointed to execute this decree Unlike other map peddlers, Mr. Walsh appears to be susceptible either to the impulse of humanity or to that of fear. At any rate, be has not yet done Mr. MacGeoghegan todeath with violence aud maps. Remembering this fact, and noting that tne United Irishmen Redivivi have now sentenced a Mr, Walsh to die, we are justified in de cid ng that the latter \Valsh is identical with the former, and that his crime cousists in his failure to inflict the death sentence upon MacGeoghegan. It is evident that if vVaish' executioner refuses to kill Walsh, and is in his turn sen'euced to death for disobedience, there will have to be still another executioner appointed, and the same proce-s may be continued until every United ifishnTan"Redivivi is concfemned to Add its fourth part, rejecting fracdeatb for not having killed every other one. Of course, wheu Father MacNamara- the most revived and United of all the Irishmen, is com pelled to appoint himself the residua ry executioner of his brethren, he may be trusted to do his duty. There will be uo hesitation or fear with him, and his recreaut followers will be so thoroughly "kilt" that any fu-

In this way a prolonged entertainment would be secured at a very trilling expense and without the lea9t danger. The more tbe matter is looked Into tho more probable does it appear that the United Iri-hmen were revived expressly for the pleasure of holding a seties of successive courtsmartial upon ord another.

In leap year the ratio in January is 2, and iu February 5, the other months remain the same.
Explanation.—To the given year add its fourth part, rejecting tractions to this add tne day of the mouth divido tbe sum total by 7 and the remainder is the day of the weak, counting Sunday 1, Monday 2, etc. Of course, Saturday beintj th^ seventh day, the remainder will be a cipher.
