In one house women and young girls had been shut up and subjected, during ten days, to outrages by Cossacks and Bulgarians.

A WEIGHTY REPORT.
WASHINGTON, August 21.—The report of the commission on the weighers and gaugers of the New York custom house is under consideration at the treasury department. The commission agrees that reorganization is demanded, and thinks it important that the departments of weighers and gaugers shall each have a practical expert at the head, upon whom should rest the responsibility, and that each assistant, who, like the chief, should be an expert and man of character, should be, in his turn, responsible for the laborers, to be selected by him-' self. The commission says that, under the present system the large number of United States weighers who receive salaries of $2,500 per annum, and who are assigned respec tively to the weighing districts, render but little, if any, personal service to the government.

On Sunday evening, Scroggs went to Olyphants house and asked to see his wife Olyphant refused to admit him. when Scroggs drew a pistol and fired, the ball striking Olyphant in the right breast, inflicted a wound which terminated his life in a short time. Scroggtf at once started to Oak hill, but was soon overtaken by a party of four men, who wanted to arrest him. Scroggs refused to submit to arrest and fired on the partyf»a ball striking John Groff, re* spectable farmer, in the left breast, killing him instantly. Scroggs then went to the residence of Mr. Waddell. a justice of the peace, and surrendered himself. This morning, at half past 8 o'clock, a mob of men went to Waddell's house, where Scroggs was confined, took him out among the hills and hanged him. ,.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 20.—The following is just received from Spokane Falls, under date of the 15th:
Gen. Wheaton's command arrived here on the 10th inst., after eight days march from Lewiston, distant 105 miles. The command in camp at this point numbers 520 men, all told, two companies of the first cavalry, ten companies of tbe second infantry, comprising the entire regiment, direct from Atlanta Georgia, ana about fifty citizens, employes, teamsters, etc. The transportation consists of twenty wagons, all hired from citizens. Captains Hancock, Cqiirad, Krotilinggr, Cook, Mills, Daggett, Daum, Keller, Haines and Folk command the companies of the second infantry, and Captain Perry and Lieutenant Parnell the companies of cavalry. Captain Wilkinson, General Howard's aide de camp, is here to assist Colonel Wilkins, the Indian inspector, in the settlement of affairs with the Indians in this section. Word has been sent to all the different tribes to collect at this point for such purpose. They are coming in rapidly, and a large number attended divine service in camp,
esterday. Mr. Simms, Indian agent CoMlti, ninety miles distant, is present. There are expected to be ndarlv one hundred chiefs and head men, representing the following tribes, present at the coming council: Lakes, Pen D'Orrilles. Colvilles, Spokane*, 'Coverd, Aliens, Sabpauelsen, Pellems, MethQWs, Chalkaent. Antiatkas Moses band, or Optf, Columbia river Indians and Oifanagons, amounting in all, to 8,617 men, women and children, and able to furnish fifteen hundred warriors. The report says that they are not well armed. The above numbers are obtained from the chiefs already present, and ere some 400 less 'than the census of 1871. There hasbeea no actual outbreak among these Indians, but since the war commenced there has been manifest uneasiness among them, and many instances of impudenoe on their part are reported by settlers. Four Nes Perces were putin the guard house here this morning, supposed to be connected with Hush-Hush Crips band part of whioh is with Joseph, and that the? know something of the murder of old man Ritchie, and the robberies perpetrated on Pine Greek, which caused all these tilers in that vieiaity to leave their homes some weeks since. They Will he detained until it is ascertained ftttttivelrwhetfcer they-are guilty for not. "There is no doubt that all the Indians in this section are and have been in direct communication with Joseph, and have been posted several days ahead of the whites of every movement of Gen. How-
Indians who have stock and farms in the country have manifested a desire to remain at peace. There is naturally much anxiety felt among the settlers as to the result of the coming conference, as- they fear, in case it is not satisfactory to the Indians, the troops should leaver that they would have to abandon their homes and leave to the savages as fine an agricultural country as th$re is in Washington territory.

Particulars o« the Swallowing Process.
The written contract agreed upon will not be given to the public, because it contains many details, which do not concern tha niublio. The Western Union and Atlantic A Pacific companies are now ... .... tk^. ..Ill .till be run as two companies, each retaining its old offioers and general organisation, bat all the profits resulting from the!" telegraphing will be pooled. This arrangement will last tor twenty years, and this is the whole arrangement, private details excepted, of course. It follows that rates will be advanced, but they will be advanced only so far as shall secure a fair profit to the companies. We have bougnt a majority of the Atlantie A Pacific stock, between 71,000 and 72,000 shares, but nearer 72,000,1 cannot give the exact number.
Mr. Orton did not say what price was paid, but it is believed that for nearly 72,000 shares at twenty-five per centum there were paid about 22,000 shares of Western Union at seventy-two per centum. The Atlantic A Pacific company is therefore now fully under the control of the Western Union company. Great satisfaction is felt and expressed by the latter company.. A prominent Western Union director believed that the rates would be only slightly advanced. The company desind to act equitably and moderately. Twenty-five cento for a telegraphic dispatch to Omaha was too low no company could afford to sand messages to points so distant at that price, but the directors intended to make but a small advance in their charges. A meeting of the executive committee of the Western Union company, this morning, ratified in full the proceedings of the joint comadttee, last night, and the contract made wf that committee was placed on the records. Heretofore it has cost tbe two oompanies from 60 to 70 per centum to carry on their business, but it is now believed that, by virtue of the new arrangement, expenses will be reduced to 50 per centum
