ANAHEIM VOL. VI. Anahiem Gazette SATURDAY...JULY 15, 1876. INDIAN AFFAIRS. The farce of trying to assimilate civilization with barbarism has culminated in another of those terrible tragedies that have ever and anon darkened the otherwise bright history of our country. From the old days of the colonies down to the present time, the struggle between red and white has gone on. Practical men have ever said, "you cannot reason with ignorance;" sentimentalists have answered, "let us Christianize these unfortunate heathen and all will be well." The result has ever been to smooth matters over for a time and to eventually in a bloody massacre. The civilization theory followed by General Grant's administration, and persistently opposed by General Custer—now a corpse—and his superior in command, General Sheridan, has twice borne fruit in such a manner as to attract the attention of all the world. Once when Captain Jack slaughtered the brave boys in blue like sheep, and again, when the brave Custer and his BOONOMY. The fate of Custer and his gallant little band is being discussed far and wide, and a thousand-and-one suggestions in regard to it are being made throughout the land. We have already stated our opinion as to the faults of the Administration, and will now call attention to the wisdom of Congress in army matters. Any one who cares to investigate the matter, will easily find out that the army of the United States is, and for years has been, numerically speaking, a farm. That the extent of territory they are expected to guard is so enormous that even to make a pretence of maintaining order and peace on our borders, troops have been perpetually on the move. When we say that at one time the entire line of the Union Pacific and part of the Central Pacific Railroad had to be patrolled and guarded day and night by the boys in blue, some conception of the nature of their duties may be formed. Consider the nature of the country, the miserable accommodations and the rigors of climate—without even taking into account the risk to life and limb—and after calmly reviewing the matter, reflecting a little on the price of necessities and luxuries, ask yourselves how The Sabbath Fresh glides the brook and Let yonder halts the quail The whirling wheel, the re How motionless and still Six days of tall, poor chill They strength the slave o The seventh thy limbs cac A god hath made them Aft tender was the law This holy respite to tha To breathe the gale, and And know the wistel ma But where the waves the g What image charms to The spire reflected on the Invites these to the skier To teach the soul its nobility The rest from mortal te Go match the brief regiment And pass—a guest to H They tell them in their dream Of power from old dom When rich and poor, with Shall share the altered Alas since time itself begs That fable bath but foot Each age that ripens power But subjects man to po Yet every day in seven at One bright republic ab Man's world awhile bath When God proclaims H Six days may rank divide Oh, Dives, from thy ta The seventh the Father e And holds His least fo The result over for a time and to evenuate in a bloody massacre. The civilization theory followed by General Grant's administration, and persistently opposed by General Custer—now a corpse—and his superior in command, General Sheridan, has twice borne fruit in such a manner as to attract the attention of all the world. Once when Captain Jack slaughtered the brave boys in blue like sheep, and again, when the brave Custer and his companions in arms went to their doom. We are in favor of Christianity, of humanity, of civilization, but we are not in favor of any policy that tends to destroy life. We believe the only way to handle a savage is to treat him as such. Appeal to his instincts rather than to his reason. Say to him, "Thus far shall thou go and no further," and make him understand that it is no idle threat, no feeble command, but a positive and absolute decision. And when any treaty is made with the Indians, let it be rigorously adhered to, let it be scrupulously respected. Let it have the same consideration that all other treaties have. Any breach by either side should be promptly and rigorously punished, and such horrible scenes as are periodically witnessed on the frontier would be abolished. Upon the administration, who defrauded the Indians and broke faith with them, must fall the blame of this last terrible disaster. Upon those weak-minded philanthropists, who have done so much to weaken and corrupt our Indian policy, must also fall a due share of blame. But who shall endeavor to compensate the widow and the mother, sorrowing for their beloved? Who shall dare to attempt to explain policy to those bereaved ones? Will our government undertake it? Will our milk and water philanthropists undertake it? We doubt it. Will these humanitarians rather ask us to go on our knees to the noble Sloux, and humbly presenting him with a new rifle of the most approved pattern, respectfully request him to shoot us first and then graciously condescend to scalp us afterwards? The fact stares us in the face that 300 brave men, headed by a commander who was beloved by all who knew him, have been butchered. It is also a fact that this butchery was brought abut by the weakness, the imbecility, the culpidity and the treachery of the administration. This kind of work must cease. The people know full well the nature of frontier service at best. They will fight that the roller of the Indian Union Pacific and part of the Central Pacific Railroad had to be patrolled day and night by the boys in blue, some conception of the nature of their duties may be formed. Consider the nature of the country, the miserable accommodations and the rigors of climate—without even taking into account the risk to life and limb—and after calmly reviewing the matter, reflecting a little on the price of necessities and luxuries, ask yourselves how many of you would like, for glory, patriotism and $13 a month, greenbacks, to undertake the work? Such is the stupendous pay that a full private receives for spending the best years of his life in the splendid climate and peaceful districts in the neighborhood of Laramie. A Lieutenant, who has passed years of his life in preparing for his profession, who, from the nature of his position must be a man of influence and ability and refinement, is asked to quit home and friends, immure himself in a frontier barracks and waste his life for $119 a month, greenbacks. General Sheridan twice applied to Congress for $200,000 to construct two forts, which, be averred, and still does aver, would enable him to hold the Sioux completely in check, and provide decent quarters for his troops, and enable him to concentrate his forces and accumulate supplies; and he was told "We can't afford it." Nay, monstrous though it may seem, incredulous though it may be, barbarous as it undoubtedly is, there is a bill pending in Congress to-day, if not passed already, to further reduce the pay of officers and men, and the number of the army. Could incompetency, cool-calculating villainy and selfish meanness go further? To make political capital out of the lives of our soldiers! That class of speculators who compose Congressional committees and Bureaus of Agriculture, tell us that each immigrant to the country is equal to $1,000 added to the national wealth. Believing it useless to appeal to aught but their pockets, we will figure out the question for them, thus: Custar's loss, 816 men... $316,000 Appropriation refused... 200,000 Will facts and figures like these draw a little common sense and humanity into the heads of those congressional solons. Now there will have to be an enormous outlay to effectually quell the Indian outbreak, with an inevitable large loss of life. This policy must be stopped.

We ask them to picture their son or brother lying mutilated beyond recognition on the bleak hills of Indian Territory, dying alone, deserted, no mother's hand to smooth his brow, no patient nurse to watch his needs. We ask them to contemplate such a picture and then to see to it that a repetition of such scenes is rendered impossible so far as laying in their power. Three hundred lives unequivocally spent! Three hundred homes rendered desolate! Migrable monument of wretchedness, a tribute to governmental incompetence and philanthropical humbling. On Thursday last a young girl named Suzie J. Swain, thirteen years of age, was drowned while taking in Russian River, near Haddisburg.

We trust the matter will be thoroughly ventilated in the fall campaign now commencing, to the end that the next Congress may devote their attention to economy in stealing and just expenditure, to support the nation's best servants in a decent manner and protect their lives, as far as possible.

The Sabbath. Fresh glides the brook and blows the gale, Let yonder hake the quiet mill; The whirling wheel, the rushing sail, How motionless and still! Six days of tall, poor child of Cain. Thy strength the slave of want may be; The seventh thy limbs escape the chain— A god hath made these free! Ah! tender was the law that gave This holy respite to the breast; To breathe the gale, and watch the wind. And know the wheel may rest! But where the waves the gentlest glide, What image charms to light thine eye? The spire reflected on the tide Invites thee to the skies. To teach the soul its noblest worth, The rest from mortal toll is given. Go match the brief regrieve from earth, And pass—a grant to Heaven. They tell them in their dreaming school, Of power from old dominion harried, When rich and poor, with juster rule, Shall share the altered world. Alas since time itself began, That fable hath but fooled the hear, Each age that ripens power in man Hat subjects man to power. Yet every day in seven at least, One bright republic shall be known; Man's world awhile bath surely ceased, When God proclaims His own. Six days may rank divide the poor. Oh, Diva, from thy banquet-tail; The seventh thy Father opes His door; And holds His teast for all. The Padre's Ruse. Upon the banks of the river Yaqui, flowing through the northern portions Yaquil, honored and respected, was seized and bound. While being led out to be shot, a ruse occurred to him, by which he might save his life, so suddenly and justly placed in jeopardy, and also augment his priestly power, which until the return of the three Yaquil, had been almost absolute. Among the many visitors of note whom the Padre had entertained during his long residence among the Yaquil, was an English nobleman, who had presented to the hospitable priest a focal-glass. Padre Lorente accordingly requested the indignant Yaquil to halt; that he had something very important to reveal to them. They did so, laughingly saying among themselves that it could do no harm to hear what the maldito had to say, as they intended to kill him, and thus effectually abolish the slave trade in their midst. He requested permission to put on his accordotal robes, which was at length assented to. Then walking in front of his would-be executioner, he assumed a majestic manner, and, raising his eyes and hands to heaven, spoke as follows—addressing them reproachfully: "Men of the Yaqui River! why do you wish to put me to death—I, who have power to destroy the world with fire? I have power given me of God to consume mine enemies with fire. Ye are mine enemies." But they sneeringly answered, "We do not believe what you say is true. Prove it to us, if you can, and we will set you at liberty." Meanwhile the Padre held the focal-glass concealed in the folds of his robe. Santa Ana Hume. [Regular Correspondence of the Gazette.] Professor Manon, of Los Nietos, has bought four acres of land of Mr. J. H. Fruit, of this place, for the purpose of erecting thereon a female seminary. It will be built inside of three months, and will be in charge of the Professor and his lady. The citizens of this place scattered in various directions on the Fourth inst.—some two hundred persons found their way to Laguna Calle, some one hundred to the beach near Anahaim Landing; but the largest number put in an appearance at McFadden's Grove—the number present has been variously estimated at from 200 to 400. As we did not count them, we will not venture an opinion. The orator of the day, T. J. Ellis, made an exceptionally fine Fourth of July oration. Mr. Morgan read an original poem which was able and well received, and in fact everything pertaining to this portion of our citizens went off in proper style, until near the close of the exercises, when a certain clique turned the celebration into a Tilden & Hendricks meeting. One of their speakers opened his remarks by saying that he was too good a democrat to say much in favor of celebrating the Fourth of July; referred to the late unpleasantness, and wound up his remarks by saying that he "hoped everyone present would vote the democratic ticket." Now, while it may be true that the democrats do not represent the patriotic element of the country, the democrats themselves do BY Last night through firing Gaze lows: K who were in their home waist street, w body burial ling, wh Numerous injured, riddled were bloody was but its work ning.

Upon the banks of the river Yaqui, flowing through the northern portions of Sonora, Mexico, dwelt, in 1810, Padre Lorente. Grown wealthy upon the perquisites of his holy office, Lorente, as is too often the case among more enlightened men than the Yaquis, became possessed with an insatiate desire for great riches. In pursuance of the engrossing object, the unscrupulous man communicated with certain traders on the Cuban coast, and the result of the correspondence was that, a few months afterward, a slave-ship, under pretence of other business, dropped anchor off Guaymas. Making to them various promises, the Padre succeeded in getting on board some 500 of the "most likely" of the Yaqui men, when the ship set sail almost immediately, and carried them away into slavery. And the Padre's coffers were greatly enlarged. The Yaqui, however, attributed the abduction of their countrymen to the captain of the vessel in which they were transported; and the Padre, you may be sure, was careful enough to conceal the truth from them, that they never once suspected him of so helpless a crime. Time passed, and the occurrence, although not forgotten, was rarely, if ever, mentioned, except among the immediate kindred of the unfortunate ones. After years of unrequited toll, three out of the five hundred escaped from Cuba, and made their way, by hiding in the hold of a vessel, to the Florida coast. Laboring at whatever occupation offered itself, they soon became possessed of sufficient means to enable them to continue their journey to the land of their nativity, the banks of the beautiful river Yaqui, and, after many trials and difficulties, reached the northern boundary of Chihuahue, hurriedly crossing the southern line of the State of Jalisco. Here they paused and held council. Having no idea of the distance between them and the homes of their childhood, foot-sore and weary with long traveling, chagrined at the lives they had been forced to lead, despairing of the future, two of the unhappy trio were in favor of surrendering, and pass the rest of their days as peonies; but the third remained unchanged in his determination to see once more, or die in the attempt, the place of his birth. And so effectual were his persuasive words, that his companions were constrained to continue their journey for five days to the south, on condition that, if at the end of that time, they did not see their country and river from the tops of the The Railroad Situation. Without knowing either the wishes or purposes of Senator Jones, we, a few weeks since, described somewhat minutely the route which we thought the Los Angeles road ought to take to reach San Bernardino. We were aware it was the longest line; but we had an eye to the development of a splendid stretch of country, which must at an early day furnish a large patronage in way freights. This road, we saw, would also give the Los Nietos settlement, Anaheim, Orange, and a large score of territories the benefits of he assumed a majestic manner, and raising his eyes and hands to heaven, spoke as follows—addressing them reproachfully: "Men of the Yaqui River! why do you wish to put me to death—I, who have power to destroy the world with fire? I have power given me of God to consume mine enemies with fire. Ye are mine enemies." But they sneeringly answered, "We do not believe what you say is true. Prove it to us, if you can, and we will set you at liberty." Meanwhile the Padre held the focal-glass concealed in the folds of his robe and thus replied: "Do you see you dry cactus-leaf?" "We do." If I, from where I am standing, set that dry cactus-leaf on fire, will you believe that I have power from God to burn the world with fire, and thus destroy nine er emies? The Yaqui replied, as with one voice, and said they would. "Then look!" ejaculated the Padre. "In three minutes that captus-leaf will be on fire." "Hold! hold!" said the captain of the Yaquis. You have hidden fire under the cactus. We will first examine it. Then the Padre, affecting to become angry at their incredulity, suggested that they should sweep around about the cactus-bush for a space of ten feet. And they did so, but found no fire. Disconfited, yet still incredulous, the captain of the Yaquis ordered his men to form a circle around the cactus bush, which should also inclose the scornful Padre—the hated Padre—with drawn bows. It was done. Invoking the power of God with his most solitous voice and mien, the Padre knelt, rose, threw up his hands—in the right one of which he held, dexterously concealed from human view by the sleeve of his robe,the focal-glass, railing it in such a way as to bring the sun's rays to a focus upon the cactus-leaf toward which all eyes were now directed. Meantime the utmost silence reigned; and when the cactus-leaf began to burn—faintly at first, then blazing up brightly, so that all saw it—great confusion ensued; shrieks and groans rent the air. The Yaquis, now thoroughly convinced of the Padre's superhuman power, fell at his feet, begging and praying for forgiveness; that the world might not be destroyed by fire, and supplicating the bestowal of his benediction upon them and theirs, which was at length given! And Padre Lorente's power over the Yaqui Indians became absolute. The Railroad Situation.

Now while it may be true that the democrats do not represent the patriotic element of the country,the democrats themselves do not wish it publicly announced or published to the world. Deem it unnecessary to say anything more on this subject at this time as,the politic democrats are very sore about it. And by the way,the above-named party met and organized a political club at the school house some time ago. The attendance was small,但the lack of numbers was made up by "unterrified" enthusiasm.W.H. Spurgeon was elected President and C.W.

Situation. Without knowing either the wishes or purposes of Senator Jones, we, a few weeks since, described somewhat minutely the route which we thought the Los Angeles road ought to take to reach San Bernardino. We were aware it was the longest line; but we had an eye to the development of a splendid stretch of country, which must at an early day furnish a large patronage in way freights. This road, we saw, would also give the Los Nietos settlement, Anaheim, Orange, and a large scope of territory the benefits of competition. And we yet think, when merely considered in its advantages in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties, this is the very best route that can be designated. As such, we urged the people to aid in its construction, because they would all be benefitted in a sum far beyond what they would be asked to contribute. And we contend it could not be (as a neighboring journal unfairly represents) considered in the nature of a subsidy, but as a paying business investment. But it now appears that the road is to be pushed through to an overland connection with the East; that the people are not to be asked for aid; and that the route of the road will be made with reference to its extended relations. Still, Senator Jones gives assurance that he will favor all localities as far as possible in running the line through Los Angeles and San Bernarino counties. Whatever may be determined upon, as regards the route, the paramount fact is settled in a most satisfactory manner. That is, the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad will not, in any event, pass under the control of the great corporation which now monopolizes the hulk of the rail carriage on this coast. — Santa Monica Outlook. Several large droves of sheep have been driven through Nevada City during the past few days for the mountains. There must have been in the neighborhood of six or eight thousand in the aggregate. The number of dead fish that are now turning their sides to the plaza sun in Chir Lake is enormous. At places where the wind collects them and drives them on shore, it is impossible to battle—the strength is so hard about the two-year term. After wrangling for a few days, a recount of the ballot was had, as regards the time specified on the ticket as to who the voters intended should have the long or short term. We are informed that out of the 72 votes received by Mr. Hewitt, but 37 specified that he should serve for three years, and that E.F. Greenleaf, out of 58 votes, received forty-two specifying that he should serve for three years—the balance stating that they should serve for two years or not making any specification at all. Mr. Harlan having no opposition, or rather having a majority of the two-year term votes, was declared elected. After this result was announced the old trustees proposed that Mr. Hewitt should accept the position of Principal of the schools of the District as a salve for his supposed mortification at not receiving the office. This was a trick to retain one of the old trustees for the three-year term, who had rendered himself obnoxious to the district. We see by the Los Angeles papers that they deny the existence of small pox in their midst. Mr. H.H. Harmon, Court-Reporter, and T.J. Ellis, County Surveyor, both report that it is prevalent there, especially in Sonora and the Chinese quarters.

Quite a number of very fine work houses have died from the effects of the expensive heat in Yakima quietly during the present harvest. GAZETTE NO. 39. BY TELEGRAPH. BURLINGTON, Iowa, July 6. Last night a terrible tornado passed through South Burlington. The Evening Gazette gives the damages as follows: Killed, Mr. and Mrs. Stockwell, who were instantly killed while lying in their beds; Mr. S. Dyke, whose home was in Minnesota, on Summer street, was instantly killed and his body buried in the wreck of the dwelling, which was leveled to the ground. Numerous others were more or less injured. Twenty-nine buildings were riddled to pieces. Six freight cars were blown into the river. The storm was but of an instapl's duration and its work of destruction was like lightning. CHICAGO, July 6. Further particulars of the storm near Dubuque, Iowa, on the night of the 4th: The little hamlet of Rockdale, three miles southwest of this city, was swept away as with the besom of destruction. Every building in the town save the little Catfish Mill, was washed from its foundation, and the town is a wreck that quite deties description. The dozen buildings, all that were located on the bottom lands of Catfish Creek, were carried down the streaming and boiling current, crushing them into fragments. All are indistinguishable ruins, and are scattered for miles along the borders of the stream, Horses, sheep, buildings and everything fell before the terrible tornado that came rolling in great surges down the ten miles of valley through which Catfish river runs. The wreck of build-arrive here within a few days, when it is said that the Utah Central Railroad from this place will be turned over to the Union Pacific. That road already owns the Southern Utah road which runs from here to York 75 miles distant, and the understanding is that a 400-mile connection will be made with the Los Angeles and Independence road, thereby saving about 170 miles between here and San Francisco. The route presents but few difficulties, and the advantages will be great to Salt Lake City. AUGUSTA, Ma., July 8. Ex-Speaker Blaine has formally accepted the United States Senator tendered him by Governor Cuñer. The vacancy this creates in the House of the Representatives will not be filled until the regular election in September. NEW YORK, July 8. A Washington special says Senator Davis, of West Virginia, was yesterday prostrated in the Senate chamber, and was carried in a lifeless condition to one of the committee rooms, where under the application of restraint he recovered sufficiently to be removed to his residence. Senator Morton was so overcome by the heat that he left the capitol at an early hour and betook himself to his hotel, where late this afternoon, he was stretched on chairs outside the hotel. He was the picture of exhaustion. Thurman, of Ohio, was rendered so unwell by the heat that he had to keep his house during the day, notwithstanding the demand on him in the Senate in connection with the Belknap trial. Weas was obliged, for the same reason, to The above-named politician was near the close to a Tilden & One of their remarks by saying a democrat of celebrating referred to the wound up his that he "hoped and vote the dew, while it may rats do not re-element of the themselves do announced or We deem it nothing more on as the politic be about it.

All are indistinguishable ruins, and are scattered for miles along the borders of the stream, Horses, sheep, buildings and everything fell before the terrible tornado that came rolling in great surges down the ten miles of valley through which Catfish river runs. The wreck of buildings, household merchandise and uprooted trees were full a mile down the stream. Thirty-nine human beings were hurriedly swept from life. The thirty bodies recovered up to this hour are ranged side by side near the mill, awaiting the last and funeral rites. Some of the bodies were found in the debris of the crushed buildings, near one of death, while others, and a greater part of them, were found along the banks, from a few rods to a mile down the stream. Some were almost entirely hidden from view by the mud that had been swept along by the mad waters, with perhaps only a hand exposed to sight, or a foot, or a portion of the face, or perhaps only a small portion of clothing. A large number of children ranging from 3 to 10 years of age, compose the dead holocaust, and altogether the scene was most sickening one. Thirty-one bodies of drowned have been recovered. SAN FRANCISCO, July 6. It has been blowing heavily all day and about 2 P.M. rain commenced to fall lightly, continuing for about an hour. It is now comparatively clear and quite cool. SAN FRANCISCO, June 7. John E. Robinson filed a new complaint in the Police Court yesterday against Leland Stanford and E. H. Miller, Jr., of the Central Pacific Railroad Co., charging him with failure to show him certain reports which he, as stockholder of the company, claims he had a right to see. Upon this complaint a warrant was issued for the arrest of the accused. F. W. Bruggemann, late manager of the Aid Union in San Francisco, committed suicide on Thursday, near Santa Rosa. WASHINGTON, July 7. Senator Morrill took the oath of office as Secretary of the Treasury this afternoon at the Executive Mansion. General Sherman has telegraphed to Secretary Cameron, who arrived this morning. He will leave Philadelphia-to-day for this city. It is probable upon the arrival of Gen. Sherman there will be an immediate conference between the President and Secretary of War and the General upon the subject of the Indian war. Senator Paddock introduced the following bill in the Senate to-day, and gave notice that he would to-morrow call up the bill for action: Be it enacted, etc., that the President, if he deems it necessary, be and he is hereby authorized to accept the services of volunteers from the State and was carried in a manner to one of the committee rooms, where under the application of restraint he recovered sufficiently to be removed to his residence. Senator Morton was overcome by the heat that he left the capitol at an early hour and betoken himself to his hotel, where late this afternoon, he was stretched on chairs outside the hotel. He was the picture of exhaustion, Thurman, of Ohio, was rendered so unwell by the beat that he had to keep his house during the day, notwithstanding the demand on him in the Senate in connection with the Belknap trial. West was obliged, for the same reason, to leave the Senate at an early hour in the day, having been somewhat frightened by the sudden illness of Senator Davis. The temperature in the House of Representatives rose to 55 degrees. Dispatches from Boston, Philadelphia and other neighboring cities report the heat intense. In this city the thermometer was 99 in the shade and 22 cases of sunstroke are reported. NEW YORK, July 9. The purser of the steamship San Domingo has forwarded the Secretary of State, from the African Consul at that port, details of the insult offered to the American flag. It seems that the Tybee, on the way from this port to San Domingo, took on board, as a passenger, at Haytli, Gen. Pablo Villanuva, ex-Minster of War and Marine under President Gonzales, of San Domingo. Arriving at San Domingo Villanuva sent to the authorities asking permission to land, but was refused and warned if he did land he might expect to be arrested at once. Afterwards Cayt. Kuhl, of the Tybee, was ordered to put the General on shore,the Government averring that he had been endeavoring, on the Haytli frontier,toment a revolution againstthe existing Republic.The Captain refused,and submittedthe case to Paul Jones,the American Consulwho decided that asthe General was an ordinary paying passenger,and had not been on shore,his entitled to remain on board,and was under the protection ofthe American flag.On the 25th of June asthe Tybee was ready to sail,nor orderwas sent from the Minister of the Interiorcommanding her to remain.The American Consulmade the replythathe had on board a special bearer of dispatches,and thatthe ship was properly clearedand she would sail.unless detainedby forceThis message was unheeded.Seeling that an attempt wasto be made to take his passenger,Captain Kuhl tied an American flag tothe stanchion on both gangways,and all intruders were warned away.Ina littletime a field-piece was broughtonthe wharf,and fifty soldiersarmed with rifles tore awaytheflags went on board,and despitethe emphatic protestofthe AmericanConsul,Gen.Villanuva lame and disabled.was taken from his stateroomand carried ashore.The vesselwas then permitted to sail. Pacific Coast Brevities A row in a saloon at a Oakdale on Saturday resulted in the homicide of a man named Malone. At Mokelumie Hill.on Thursday General Secretary Cameron, who arrived this morning, he will leave Philadelphia to-day for this city. It is probable upon the arrival of Gen. Sherman there will be an immediate conference between the President and Secretary of War and the General upon the subject of the Indian war. Senator Paddock introduced the following bill in the Senate to-day, and gave notice that he would to-morrow call up the bill for action: Be it enacted, etc., that the President, if he deems it necessary, be and he is hereby authorized to accept the services of volunteers from the State of Nevada and the Territories of Wyoming, Colorado, Dakota or Utah, or either of them, to be enlisted as part of the army of the United States, against the tribes of hostile Sioux in the Northwest, who have for years defied the authority of this Government and by whose hands, recently, several hundred soldiers, citizens of the United States, have been slaughtered; provided, that no more than five regiments of cavalry or infantry, or both, shall be accepted, and that the term of service shall not extend beyond nine months from the date of enlistment. The following dispatch has been received at the Wan Department: Gen. E. D. Townsend, Adjutant Gen.: Captain Smith, of Gen. Terry's staff, telegraphs from Bismarck as follows: "Gen. Custer, Captains Custer, Keogh, Yates and Cook, Lieutenants Smith, McIntosh, Calhoun, Hudson, Rielly, Porter, Sturgs, and Crittenden, killed, Lieutenant Harrison and Assistant Surgeant Lord, missing. Two hundred and sixty-one dead have been found, and 52 wounded brought away." C. Drum, A. A. G. On motion of Ingalls, the Senate today adopted a resolution requesting the President to inform the Senate whether the Sioux Indians made any hostile demonstrations prior to the invasion of their treaty reservation by the gold hunters; whether the present military operation was conducted for the purpose of protecting said Indians in their rights under the treaty of 1809, or for punishing them for resisting a violation of that treaty, and whether the recent reports of an alleged disarray to our forces under Governor in said regions are true. SANT LAKE July 9. Jay Geould and party are expected to
