retary of War has refused the Presi-
dents polite invitation to retire from
Office. The Presidents note is very
brief-only four lines in length, and
simply states that grave public con-
siderations constrain him to request
Mr.. Stanton's resignation. Mr.. Stan
tons answer is also very brief, and
intended to be very severe and cut
ting.
Il is not decided what step Mr..
johnson will next take, but l think
he will notify Mr. Stanton that he Is
no longer Secretary of War, and must
vacate forthwith. nE ,e

ST. LOUIS.
Meeting OF Indian Commissioners
Indian Affairs-ChOlera at Fort
Ly0n-Steamb0at Snagged. abr

ST.. Louis, August AT the pre-
liminary meeting of Indian. Com
missioners yesterday. Col Taylor,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, was
elected permanent Chairman of the
Board, and A. S. III. White, of the
Indian Bureau, Secretary.
A general discussion of plans for
getting the Indians together was had,
but nothing definite was determined
upon. II is probable, however, that
an attempt will be made to assemble
the northern Cheyennes, Sioux,
Blaekfeet, and other northern hostile
tribes somewhere on the Platte River;
perhaps Fort Laramie, and the south
ern Cheyennes, Arrapahoes, and
other southern tribes at Fort Zarah,
or some other. point on the Arkansas
River . r.
1t is deemed important to meet
these Indians at the earliest day pos
sible, but as they only assemble in
council during the full moon, the
meeting cannot take place until early
in September, as the next full moon
will be in seven days, which will not
give the Commissioners timeto COM,
municate with the different tribes. In
the meantime the Board expect to
examine the western country with a
view to select reseryat tionsi for the
hostile tribes; and also with further
view to domiciliating, if possible, all
the tribes west Of the Mississippi,
hostile and friendly. in process of
time. if they do not COM
plete such selecting prior to
the Indian meeting. They will con-
.inue it afterwards, being convinced
/ of the necessity OF making a thorough
and personal examination OF the ter
ritories to be selected The commis-
siuners present are Colonel Taylor,
General Sanborn, Colonel Tappan,
General Sherman, General Harvey,
and Senator Henderson. General
Terry. at last accounts, was at Red
Wing, MINI, and will rejoin the
commission somewhere on the Plains.
The Board will hold session to-day.

The Bond Question.

r Under this head the Dodgeville Chroni
Gle publishes very sensible article in re
lation to the bonds issued by the county
in aid of the Mineral Point railroad. That
the people Of the county are entitled to in
formation upon the subject of the present
condition of the bond suits, and in fact to
all the information in relation to them
that may be in possession of the County
Board, no one can doubt The only infor-
nation the taxpayers have in relation to
the suits thus far, goes to show that in ev-
cry case the county has been beaten, and
the people taxed to pay lawyers for de-
Tending them to no purpose. We would
not, of course, deem it advisable for the
County Board to publish anything that
would 90 to prejudice the interests of the
county in any suits commenced, or likely
to commence, but we believe with the
Chronicle that all information possessed
by the county Board that may properly
be made public, should be published, that
the people may know what has been done,
and whose fault it is, Gf fault there BEL
that settlement or compromise has not
been effected. Let the people know the

KEE RAILRoAD.-Hon. Hammer Robbins,
president of this proposed road made a
speech on Change in Dubuque last Thurs
day, in which he stated that the % miles
of the road between Monroe and Gratiot,
would be under contract within 80 days.
and that the cars would be running to
Platteville by the 4th of July next. He
says that Mr.. Beecher, president of the
Mineral Point road, has taken $150,000 Of
stock, the people along the line of the
road, 800, 900, and if Dubuque would
take 100000, the river terminus could be
had at that place.. Ifnot it would be run
from Plattevlle to Cassville, for the people
of the latter place We're anxious, to secure
the terminus, and would get it unless Du-
buquc moved in the matter at once. He
laughed at the idea Of a road ever being
built from Monroe to Dubuque, by the way
Of Shullsburg. Said that a portion Of the
distance it would cost two hundred thous
and dollars per mile Galeaa Gazette.

ALMOST A FIRE.-When we were writing
up the local items last week, we entirely
forgot to state how near our village came
to being burned one evening last week.
Mr.. Arundel was drawing benzoin, while
8 person was holding lighted candle near
him, too near it appeared, for all at
once the inhamable material caught fire,
and in moment the flames filled the end
of the store. 1t gave such light that it
was seen for bloc ks around, and the alarm
of fire spread very rapidly. Water was
near at hand, and with the exertion of those
who were quickly present, the flames were
speedily subducd We visited the scene
Of the fire the next morning; the end Of
the store where the fire was, was as black
as the inside Of a chimney, and the ceiling
all along was considerably scorched and
smoked, but we are happy to say no ma
terial damage was done. The building oc-
cupied by Mr.. Arundel is large new one,
the upper story occupied as Masonic
Hall. 1t is connected with ether frame
buildings, and if the fire had not been sub
dued just as it was, the damage would have
been very serious. @-a'
