ANAHEIM GAZETTE SATURDAY...AUGUST 5, 1876. LETTER FROM COL. CRAWFORD. A few days ago, the editors of the Gazette wrote to Col. Crawford, Superintendent of the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad, informing him that a meeting of the citizens of Anaheim would be held on August 1, and asking him to be present in order to give some information in regard to the proposed extension of the road. On yesterday morning we received Col. Crawford's answer, which we consider of sufficient importance to lay before our readers. It is as follows: OFFICE OF THE L. A. & I. R. R. Co. LOS ANGELES, July 28, 1876. MESSRS. MELROSE & ATHEARN: Gentlemen:—Your favor of the 26th inst. has just come to hand. I am greatly gratified at the interest evinced by your citizens in the success of our Independence Railroad. Being familiar with the topographical features of your section, I have outlined a location for our proposed extension in the direction of the Cajon Pass, which would pass directly through your valley locate a station at the northern ABOUT BATHS. There is nothing more irritating to the miserable wretch who is compelled to spend his Summer in town, than to hear this and that one relating what splendid bathing they have been having at the Laguna, the Landing, Santa Monica or elsewhere. And feeling in somewhat a similar state this hot weather, we ask in plaintive tones can we not have a bath house in Anaheim? Of all the miseries mankind is afflicted with, we believe heat is the worst, and the greatest friend we can have to assist us in repelling its insidious attacks, is water. Given a chance for a plunge in the water every morning, and the ill effects of the day's heat are almost counteracted. Now, we have abundance of water, and it is a sin that we do not use some of it for a public bath house. The expense of such a building need be but a trifle. The even character of our climate would not require more than a stout canvass tent for the purpose; a screen to afford privacy to bathers and public alike, is all that is necessary. We feel sure that such an institution would pay, and pay well in Anaheim, and the proprietor would be entitled to the lasting thanks of all. OFFICE OF THE L. A. & I. R. R. Co. LOS ANGELES, July 28, 1876. MESSRS. MELROSE & ATHEARN:— Gentlemen:—Your favor of the 26th inst. has just come to hand. I am greatly gratified at the interest evinced by your citizens in the success of our independence Railroad Being familiar with the topographical features of your section, I have outlined a location for our proposed extension in the direction of the Cajon Pass, which would pass directly through your valley, locate a station at the northern portion of Anaheim, and thence be extended up the valley of the Santa Ana to Riverside and San Bernardino. There are, however, arguments which can be used against such a location, such as increased length of line, etc., which can be counterbalanced by others in its favor, on account of the richness of the soil, and its capability of sustaining a larger population, etc. All of these arguments must be submitted to Senator Jones upon his arrival here after Congress adjourns. I am anxiously busy as the movements of freight and passengers over our road is now quite large, and in will be impossible for me to amend your meeting, still, as an expression of hearty goodwill, and intent of earnest cooperation with the Senator in his gigantic work of reducing freights for the benefit of the farmers and producers of Southern California, it will have its effect, and I will take great pleasure in transmitting the expressed views of your citizens in conclave, assembled, to Senator Jones in Washington. I remain, Very truly yours, Jos. U. CRAWFORD, Superintendent. We hope that the railroad meeting, which has been called to meet at Kroger's Hall on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, will be largely attended, and that such a ringing set of resolutions will be adopted as will Impress Senator Jones favorably, and induce him to look with favor upon our claims.—From DAILY GAZETTE, July 30. TRAMPS. The new era of easy and cheap traveling, though fraught with much of good to this section, has not been without its attendant evils. The increased demand for labor caused by the building of railroads, breakwaters, irrigating canals and other improvements, has brought into our community a large number of those pests of society and disgrace to working-men, known as "tramps," or "loafers"—men who only work when the chances of stealing anything are so slim that it becomes a question of labor or starve. For many years our community has been composed of sober, industrious men; men working for an object beyond that of mere daily sustenance; Now, we have abundance of water, and it is a sin that we do not use some of it for a public bath house. The expense of such a building need be but a trifle. The even character of our climate would not require more than a stout canvass tent for the purpose; a screen to afford privacy to bathers and public alike, is all that is necessary. We feel sure that such an institution would pay, and pay well in Anaheim, and the proprietor would be entitled to the lasting thanks of all. What a heartfelt strain of thanksgiving would go up in favor of such a benefactor, from the masses of poor sweating humans who pine in vain at present for water and the attendant coolness! An eminent physician, in an able article published in the Lancet some months ago, remarked that if people as large paint more attention to having plenty of water as bathe in, and less on the water they drink, they would enjoy better health. In fact he said that quantity, and a free use of it was more beneficial than quality and a square use. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, we are told, and the bath-house is the high road to cleanliness. It is almost too irritating to reflect that in the midst of plenty we are in want; that with every opportunity for a first-class bath-house, we have not even a vestige of one—for we do not and cannot call the box-like arrangements, where one has to wait an hour or two before being cooped up in a close little pen to bathe, bath-houses. Such institutions are deprived of what is to our minds a very material point in a bathhouse, i.e., room and plenty of fresh air. The greatest charm about sea bathing is the fact of its being so free and airy, so utterly and entirely different from the so-called bathing we are accustomed to in cities. In Europe, where bathing is much more attended to than here, all public bathing houses are so arranged that the tops are capable of being entirely opened, so that, whenever practicable, a free current of air may be admitted to the baths. We understood last season that Messrs. Helmann and Sorenson contemplated erecting a bath-house on their vineyard, and hope they have not given up the idea. We further suggest that a bath-house and laundry can be very profitably combined, and that a white laundry would meet with hearty support in Anaheim.

For many years our community has been composed of sober, industrious men; men working for an object beyond that of mere daily sustenance; men who were a thousand times more honest and respectable in their poverty than many who roll in wealth. A few years ago it was a rarity to encounter a drunken white man on the streets of our little town, and stealing was almost unheard of, for even the Indians who worked in the vineyards had more regard for their characters than many of the worthless tramps which we now find frequently around us. In consequence of this peaceful state of society no preparations were ever made to guard against the depredations of these worthless loafers. Finding that their petty thieving was almost unnoticed, and that here they could find a secure haven for their wicked pursuits, the numbers have increased until the annoyances are becoming too thick to pass by without some action. For the last two or three years our vineyardists have complained bitterly of the amount of grapes stolen from their vineyards during the fruit season, the loss sometimes amounting to several tons. Orchards are entered, trees broken down and destroyed, woodpiles are despoiled, wine cellars are robbed, and scarcely anything is safe in a man's back yard except a good sized bull dog. Our night watchman is no doubt an efficient one, but it is impossible for him to be everywhere, and as the fruit season is now close upon us, we should endeavor to devise some means for the protection of our interests, and if we can catch a few of the wretches who prefer eating our bread to earning their own, we can make such an example of them as will be a warning to the others. We understood last season that Messrs. Helmann and Sorenson contemplated erecting a bath-house on their vineyard, and hope they have not given up the idea. We further suggest that a bath-house and laundry can be very profitably combined, and that a white laundry would meet with hearty support in Anaheim. The San Francisco Alta has this to say of small pox in that city: "It is rather satisfactory to hear from the Officers of Health that the cases of small-pox appear decreasing. Of three hundred, the number preceding the meeting of yesterday morning, seventy-three had died, a percentage of one-fourth. This is not so discouraging as was the case a few years ago, when the disease was so very malignant and fatal. But the new cases, although fewer in number, are more malignant in type. This fact should serve as an incentive to more care to chances of the contagion, and to a more general call upon the physicians appointed to vaccinate. Over five hundred people were vaccinated daily during the past week. Every person that has not yet attended to this duty to himself and to the public should not delay it one day longer. It costs no fee, and ensures one against one of the most loathsome diseases known to the human race. The petrified body of Fin MaCaul, the giant of the noted Giant's Causeway in Ireland, has been discovered in that country. Americans will take a just pride in learning that the person who made this discovery is also the owner of the American Cardiff giant. It is one of the most remarkable coincidences on record that this Mr. Dyer should be digging about under the surface so much, and twice meet, at a depth of eight feet, petrified giants such as no other man has been able to find.

Like sentinels the poplars stand, And sigh a timeless symphony; May their low murmurs bring to thee A respite from this tollsome strife, And brighten up thy lowly life With whispers of the Fairground, Recalling to thy weary mind The lindens of thine old home; And sweet thoughts cannot fall to come, If thou but look across the vines To where the Western glory shines, In long, low, level beams inclined. O, Southern vale, in calm content! On farer land the sun me’er shone. Who could be silent, sad or lone. While Nature’s many voices call With one accord from thee, and all In peace and happiness are blent? Perhaps Fame calls in other lands, Perhaps Ambition beckons on; But joy and comfort both are gone When one is entered on the list Of those who these fair dames have kissed, Or who have clasped their burning hands. This long, sweet rest will surely bless— This balmy air will surely heal; And rest and healthfulness mean weal. Then Fame, Ambition, Strife, to you We bid a glad and long adieu In lotos-eating happiness. ELINE. ANAHEIM, July 27th, 1876. Orange Items. Regular Correspondence of the Gazette. Quite a large number of barley sacks have been filled and shipped from this vicinity. The probabilities are that an outht is fitting out for the lower country, as we hear of several thefts, horses and harness being the principal articles. Unshipping a Dog’s Radder. A veteran tar, who served under Lord Vincent many years in the capacity of boatswain, on getting past exertion, was appointed by the latter, in grateful memory of his former conduct, a kind of sub-gardener, at his marine villa. Jack had not long been in possession of his new post, when he perceived every morning, on walking over the gardens, that several of the beds were pawed about, and the borders destroyed, indicating by their marks the stealthy visits of some canine wanderer. Jack immediately communicated the news to his lordship, who concurred with him in his opinion as to its cause, and advised him to go to the garden a few hours earlier in the morning, and give the intruder a warm welcome. Jack accordingly did so, biding himself in a shrubbery, he soon espied a long, lean dog, between a pointer and a mastiff, spring upon the garden wall, and jumping into the grounds, begin running about and exploring, with a degree of activity and keenness, the depth of a strawberry bed. Jack watched his opportunity, and at the moment the dog had burrowed his head out of sight in the earth, the tar stole behind him with a spade, and at a blow struck off the end of his tail; the dog sprang over the garden wall again, yelping. Some time after, when his Lordship came into the garden, Jack accosted him: "All right, your honor, we were a devil of a noise and the four Cheerful Topics for the Heated Term. The New York papers come to us in these days filled with accounts of the tremendous heat, and lists of the victims. The reporters, in the dearth of other local news, regale their readers with cheerful stories about the sufferings of the poor who live in tenement houses, and graphic descriptions of the scenes at the morgue. The New York Herald, with characteristic enterprise, has interviewed the keeper of the last named establishment, who is doing a heavy stroke of business, and this is the kind of information he has to impart: "There are three classes of bodies," said he, "that I have the most dislike to handle—drowns, burns and sunstrokes. A sunstroke corpse won't keep longer than eight hours, and then it should be buried. It swells as fast and big as a balloon. These sunstroke cases are the worst of any. They turn purple about the face and neck, and a powerful gas seems to be generated inside, that puffs up the body right along as you look at it. In the case of Mr. — , I put his corpse in the coffin in the evening, and the next morning it had burst up the lid, and there it was, heaving up and down enough to scare any average man; but I knew what it was, and didn’t feel alarmed. Four years ago I put a case of sunstroke—a pretty big man—in a coffin over there in the corner and put four other coffins on top, and in the middle of the night, as I sat smoking my pipe, inside there, there was a devil of a noise and the four" BY The way Hourmilk discovers matter subject to number resolution but then to be in amnesia.

The school tax for Richland district must be paid before September lst, or they will be reported delinquent. Dr. Beach, A. C. Bowers and Robt. Bowers departed on an exploring expedition. Evidently old Bruin will suffer these remnants. The house hall grounds on Saturday was the scene of misunderstanding. The boys pinned for a large number of petches presented by me ladies. D. C.

The wonderful hot springs called San Juan—We left Orange on Monday cocked and primed to see the country to our south-east. After a ride of three hours we crossed the boundary line over which we had never crossed. Then the scenery became new and very interesting. Watering our steeds (and ladies) at the Rawson rancho, we could not help admiring the fine lot of dry feed on his land, and his beautiful location, and imagined his fine grove of trees—as soon as his well for irrigating purposes is completed. Passing on we crossed a running stream, and the beautiful shade trees on either side afforded the camper all the luxuries of camp life; then a long, dry road, with nothing to break the monotony except now and then a drove of hogs, both great and small. Striking camp ere we reached that famous city, San Juan, we spent the night in peaceful slumber. Early morn found us examining the old Mission ruins. It's evident former grand-eruruck us with amazement; its numerous wings, solid walls, etc., lent a grandeur so great that the ladies scarcely dared speak louder than whispers. After seeing all of San Juan we wanted to (in ten minutes), we struck a bee-line for the Springs, in a northeast direction. They called it twelve miles; probably it is; but after traveling some twelve miles and inquiring, it was then only twelve miles. However, perseverance accomplishes wonders, and at last we anchored under the inviting foliage of a huge live oak. More anon. X. Y. Z July 25th, 1873. When business is brisk in New York, over 150,000 barrels are consumed in one year. Three paste factories supply the market. The flour of which paste is made of a fair quality. It is ground between rollers, sifted to free it from lumps of foreign matter, and then it is mixed with water and boiled by steam. The boiling vats usually hold three barrels. Pasteboard-box makers usually consume the most paste. In busy times one establishment uses six barrels a day.

Some time after, when his Lordship came into the garden, Jack accosted him: "All right, your honor, we were boarded by a dog sure enough, of a long, sharp, sailing build, rather white about the bows and dark in the midships." "And what did you do to him, Jack?" "I prevented his finding his way here any more." "You did not kill him, Jack?" "Oh, no, please your honor—I laid by upon the lookout there in the shrubbery, and when I seen him dowse his bows in the strawberry bed. I dropped early astern, and with this he took unapplied his raider you see—that's all." Sherriman in fine frame. The news that Sherrian intends to take the field in person and direct the movements against the hostile Indians is the best we have had yet. If he is on the ground he will take care that his force is strong enough for the work, and there will be no more uncertain independent attacks by this or that commander, but the whole force will be operated in accordance with a single well-devised plan. It is a pity Sherrian did not take command at first. Had he done so, the gallant Custer would probably have been alive to-day, and the Sioux would have been beaten and dispersed long ago. It appears that we shall have some time to wait before the preparations to fight are completed. The dispatches talk of several weeks, but it is to be hoped that something will be done before that time. It seems a long time already since poor Custer fell. In fact it is almost a month, and not a shot has been fired to avenge him. Decidedly it requires a long time to put three thousand American troops in the field, and we doubt whether Von Molthe would approve of our military arrangements.

We mentioned an early postering at two in the sex of Mrs. Austin; she announced that Dr. Luppo suspended that Mrs. Austin was really a man; that by some houses-poems she was fixed up to have all the voluptuous appearance of a female gnawess. The Doctor did not want to be fooled by any Yankee trick; so he ventured a small bet on his opinion. Banter ensued; and at last Dr. Luppo put up his medical charger; a fine bay horse against $110. Arlington, the well-known woman rights champion; and Whitney of the St.Charles; a gallant grass-widower; put up fifty-five dollars each; which were all deposited at Ferguson's stable. Dr. Luppo; as a medical expert; and Whitney; who has cut his eye tooth on the woman question; were appointed to interview Mrs.Austin; and they forthwith repaired to the circus tent. What was done at that interview will never be revealed to mortal; for the Doctor lost his bet; and Whitney's virgin modesty restraints him from telling. Suffice it to say the horse was delivered to Arlington and Whitney; and by them presented to Mrs.Austin as a testimonial to her devotion to the sex. The presentation was made yesterday afternoon in the circus ring by Arlington; and he spoke as follows: "Mrs.Austin: It is my pleasure,Madame;to testify to my admiration of you as the champion of women's rights. By your acts you have proved that woman is possessed of muscle as well as mind,and have set at rest the slanders about woman's weakness.

The Los Nietos Valley Courier has the following: It is not in contemplation to begin the erection of the Methodist church at present. On account of the stringency of the times, liberal subscription cannot be expected at this time. A cheap affair could be erected now, but its projectors intend to build a temple which shall be an ornament to this section, and they are right. The Artesia settlement has made and is making wonderful progress. Within the past six months, we understand from a gentleman perfectly acquainted with the settlement, about forty farms have been opened in Artesia and that number of houses erected. It is a flourishing locality. We are informed by a gentleman, pretty thoroughly well informed on the subject, that there is not over fifteen thousand sacks of last year's corn crop on hand in this valley. It is the smallest amount for several years. At this time last year there were at least fifty thousand sacks of corn on hand. Mr. Riddick, principal of the College, out of six hundred orange trees which he planted on the grounds of the institution, lost but four. We understand that an effort is being made to organize a brass band in this town. A competent gentleman, a recent arrival, will take the leadership, and there are also several persons here who have been members of bands. We understand that there is a case of small-pox in our valley. We do not vouch for the truth of the report, but if true exceeding care should be exercised to prevent the spread of the terrible scourge. Mr. Ramires, who farms a large tract of land near Old Los Nietos, will this year harvest about twenty thousand sacks of barley. His wheat crop this year will not amount to much. Paste. When business is brisk in New York, over 150,000 barrels are consumed in one year. Three paste factories supply the market. The flour of which paste is made of a fair quality. It is ground between rollers, sifted to free it from lumps of foreign matter, and then it is mixed with water and boiled by steam. The boiling vats usually hold three barrels. Pasteboard-box makers usually consume the most paste. In busy times one establishment uses six barrels a day. But only very common paste is used in that business. The newspaper establishments use a good quantity of paste; the steam folding machines that fold and bind pamphlet periodicals use a thin, extra fine paste, specially made. Bookbinders, shoemakers and druggists use fine paste. Paper-bag makers, paper-box makers, and bill posters use a bad quality of paste. Paste is also used in the making of suspenders, rope, twine, carpet, pocket-books, and mailing wrappers, and by printers, label-makers, paper-hangers and inner-sole makers. In paper-hanging and the making of rope, twine, carpets, and calico, sizing—a weak preparation of glue made by the paste-makers—is used. It is expensive, because it finds little sale. New York Sun. Santa Monica Items. The Santa Monica Outlook has the following: Anaheim is fully alive to the importance of the railroad extension and the Gazette has been very earnest in presenting to its readers many advantages. A meeting is to be held in that town at an early day. A huge porpoise floundered up in the midst of a bevy of female bathers the other day. The rapidity with which they placed themselves upon terra firma was simply wonderful. The ladies and friends of the Methodist Church at Santa Monica will give an exhibition and ice cream festival in the large upper room of the new school house on Friday evening, August 4th. The superiority of the soil in and around Santa Monica is well attested by the fact that those who have used no artificial manure now have the most thrifty growth of trees. The natural soil is exceedingly rich, and nothing whatever is needed. To my admiration of you as the champion of woman's rights. By your acts you have proved that woman is possessed of muscle as well as mind, and have set at rest the slanders about woman's weakness. It was said by a celebrated individual that he would give his kingdom for a horse, but you to-day will receive a horse and still remain queen of your domain, the muscular sphere of woman. In behalf of Mr. Whitney, of the St. Charles Hotel, and myself, I have the honor to present to you a horse, and with it go the best wishes of Dr. Luppo, the former owner, who desires to see in you the first of a line of muscular womanhood." Mrs. Austin's reply was brief, and the horse will hereafter do duty with Queen's Circus so long as she remains with that popular show. The New York Aquarium In aquarium ought to be a peculiarly grateful subject in this hot weather. The word suggests water; water suggests coolness; coolness is bliss. The aquarium on the corner of 25th street and Broadway, New York, is under the management of W.C. Corp., formerly the manager of Barnum's vast establishment, and the particular friend and former compadre of the popular George S. Cole, Treasurer of Queen's Circus. It is a huge private undertaking, and must have required an equal amount of nerve and money to engage in the enterprise. Fortunately for the public, Mr. Coup possesses a sufficiency of both, and the result is that the scientific and curious have now an opportunity afforded them of studying the habit and lives of those animals whose history has heretofore been a sealed book. Among the sea animals in this aquarium we notice the Beluga or White Whales, Sea Elephants, Walrus, Hippopotamus and other monsters of the deep. An aquarium of such magnitude must indeed be one of the most wonderful sights of that most wonderful metropolis—New York. In a recent lecture on "Aphasia" it was stated that "Max Muller inclines to the opinion that there can be no thought without language." But whoever has attended a political meeting will incline to the opinion that there can be a deal of language without thought. GAZETTE NO. 42 BY TELEGAR PH SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.

It was mentioned incidentally that a number of merchants had signed the resolutions adopted at the last meeting but the general impression appeared to be that the whole thing had ended in smoke. SAN FRANCISCO, July 27. The Grangers have concluded their deliberations on the question of shipment of this year's wheat crop, having resolved to ship or hold wheat for better markets, as circumstances may dictate. The convention represented over $3,000,000 capital and 200,000 tons of wheat, one-third of this year's surplus for shipment. SAN FRANCISCO, July 27. About half-past 11 o'clock this morning a mysterious shooting scrape occurred in the office of C. P. Robinson, Attorney-at-law, corper Montgomery and Commercial streets. An officer heard the report of a pistol and saw the glass of a window shattered by the ball. He ran up and found Robinson holding a notorious gambler, A. B. Gentry, and another man named Geo. L. Jordan, recently employed in the Clerk's office. The latter had a bullet wound in his hand and manding officer of U. S. troops at Alken, to detail an officer and a plained guard of twelve men for duty at Hamburg. WASHINGTON, July 27. The House's early adjournment not only prevented action on the Minute Committee's Silver Bill, but probably throws it over until next week, with greatly diminished prospects of passage. The special assignment of tomorrow's session for the consideration of the Naval Committee reports on Robeson, and the pendency of the contested election case, unfinished business, together with the fact that tomorrow and Saturday, under the rules, are private bill days, will it be believed, render unavailing any attempt to bring up the Silver bill this week. On Monday, if not overweighted by the adoption of Holman's amendment partially repealing specie resumption, it has a chance of passage, under suspension of the rules, as Kelly's similar bill, for the revival of the old silver dollar, lacked only seven votes for a two-thirds majority on last Monday, but if it awaits the morning hour of Tuesday, Garfield and other prominent opponents of the measure intend to fillibuster it over until the next morning hour and so on till the session ends. They are to-day confident that they can succeed by these tactics in preventing its passage by any vote less than a two-third, this session, and they believe that a two-third can not be secured. Secretary Chandler has still under consideration the question of the Call- SAN FRANCISCO, July 27. About half-past 11 o'clock this morning a mysterious shooting occurred in the office of C.P. Robinson, Attorney-at-law, corper Montgoinery and Commercial streets. An officer heard the report of a pistol and saw the glass of a window shattered by the ball. He ran up and found Robinson holding a notorious gambler, A.B. Gentry, and another man named Geo.L. Jordan, recently employed in the Clerk's office. The latter had a bullet wound in his hand, and a revolver with one barrel discharged lay on the floor. All the parties to the scene refuse any explanations and decline to prefer charges. The matter will be investigated in the Police Court. There were 13 cases of small pox reported yesterday, and 5 to-day. Three deaths were reported yesterday and one this morning.

This morning several hundred unbill, for the revival of the old silver dollar, lacked only seven votes for a two-thirds majority on last Monday, but if it awaits the morning hour of Tuesday, Garfeld and other prominent opponents of the measure intend to fillbuster it over until the next morning hour and so on till the session ends. They are to-day confident that they can succeed by these tactics in preventing its passage by any vote less than a two-third, this session, and they believe that a two-third can not be secured. Secretary Chandler has still under consideration the question of the California School Indemnity Selections. He is still inclined to modify his former decision so as to conform only to such selections as were purchased in good faith by third parties and those occupied by actual settlers, who purchased in good faith from the State. He will therefore draw the line sharply against the so-called settlers who are merely jumpers. HALIFAX, July 29. Archbishop Connelly is dead. NEW YORK, July 27.

The reported increase of the smallpox is causing considerable uncasiness in this city, and there seems to be but one opinion, that a serious development of pestilence may be expected. During the present week 94 new cases have been reported, and 50 deaths, and it is believed that many cases exist that have never been reported. No part of the city is free from the disease, the best as well as the lowest localities having furnished cases. Yesterday 20 cases were reported at the Health Office, and it is likely from the commencement made this morning that as many will come in during the day. Two physicians are in attendance at the Health Office from morning till night, and hundreds are vaccinated daily, largely inexpired orders for vaccine matter being constantly sent East, and just at present The Twelfth District Democratic Convention here to-day nominated Win. Springer for re-election to Congress. WASHINGTON, July 27. The Secretary of the Treasury has stopped the coinage of trade dollars at Philadelphia and Carson City, and has ordered the San Francisco Mint to coin only sufficient to meet the actual export. The mints will be run to their full capacity on subsidiary coins, and the necessary gold coinage. CINCINNATI, July 28. This morning several hundred unemployed workmen assembled at Fountain Square, pursuant to a call in yesterday's papers. After listening to speeches from Samuel Casey and others upon the deplorable condition of the workingmen, they proceeded in procession to the city buildings to demand of the Mayor bread or work. After several hours' waiting and discussion the crowd dispersed. The Mayor had placed a standing guard of police around the buildings. WASHINGTON, June 27.

A committee of five was appointed to provide funds in case of an independent campaign. Should Tilden fail to recognize greenbacks, an independent campaign will be entered upon. Dr. W. P. Childs, Secretary of the Executive Committee, said in the course of debate that correspondence from all parts of the country led him to believe that in six months greenbacks would probably be the dominant element in the Democratic party. WASHINGTON, July 27. Instructions have been sent by telegraph to the commanding officer at Columbia, S. C., ordering the commissure during the present week 94 new cases have been reported, and 50 deaths, and it is believed that many cases exist that have never been reported. No part of the city is free from the disease, the best as well as the lowest localities having furnished cases. Yesterday 20 cases were reported at the Health Office, and it is likely from the commencement made this morning that as many will come in during the day. Two physicians are in attendance at the Health Office from morning till night, and hundreds are vaccinated daily, largely inexpensive orders for vaccine matter being constantly sent East, and just at present the supply is scarcely equal to the demand, owing to orders forwarded from the interior of the State. PRESCOUT, July 20. The second party of Boston colonists consisting of forty-seven men, with seven wagons, twenty mules and two horses, arrived here on Wednesday from the San Francisco mountain, where they had gone with the expiration of finding the first party of fifty comfortably housed and busy with their crops; but instead, they neither found men, crops or land suitable for their purpose, and like their predecessors kept on into Prescott, where they seem to be at a loss to know what to do. WASHINGTON, July 20. President Grant stated this afternoon that if he was regularly summoned he would go before the Congressional Whisky Committee and show that Buford Wilson does not know anything about cabinet transactions. He would not volunteer to appear, because he did not consider Wilson's gossip worth noticing, but he would waive his privilege if summoned. DUBUQUE, July 20. In many wheat fields in this section the reapers quit work and abandoned the grain, it not being worth harvesting. The farmers must rely on the old crops or buy grain for bread. Not one in ten will raise enough for family use. This condition of the crops extends through Dubuque, Delaware and Jackson counties, and is the worst failure known for years. The floods, chinch bugs and Hessian flies have done their work completely. WASHINGTON, July 20. The Indian office desires the statement to be made that the criticisms which it has been subjected to in reference to the supply of arms and ammunition to Sitting Bull are unwarranted.
