him So 900 out of the claim when re-
covered. The court held that while
the 81 900 advanced was advanced at
such risk as to justify much larger
profit on the advance, that legal inter-
est did not justify as large a profit as
the 400 per cent. involved in 5000.

No Fear for a Disturbance or the
Peace - Garfbaldf has Abandoned
the Movement against Rome.
ENGLAND.

ENGLAND.
LONDON, August GA heavy rain
storm is prevailing throughout Eng
land.
LONDON, A. NJ, August 6.-The
Post declares that there is no present
cause to fear any disturbance of the
peace. Cabinets and the Tuillers are
working together on the Schleswig
question and are holding the same
language at Berlin. The true cause
of a general disturbance is the resto-
ration of the Fre2ch army to what is
called its normal footing. What we
feel about our naval power France
feels about her military prestige in
like manner. France is agitated on
finding she is no longer the first Mill
tary power of Europe, and will have
to make great exertions to keep a
first rate place. There is, as yet, no
single question upon which an angry
dispute exists, or upon which quar-
rel could be fixed.
The London Star says it has been
stated that France is urging upon
Austria to demand of Prussia the full
fillment of article five of the treaty
of Prague as to Schleswig. Some of
the Austrian papers deny this, but
there is abundant evidence that
France is leaving no stone unturned
to secure the cooperation of Austria
in the coming war with Prussia

and fought them for eight
hours. The Indians were two hund-
red strong, and had two white men as
leaders with them, who were evident
ly dealers. Capt. Ames was wounded,
aud one man lost. Five savages
were slain, but the balance escaped
with the stolen stock. They were all
armed with rifles, and used no arrows.
Two large bodies of Indians ap-
peared near the fort this morning.

A sergeant and thirty men, who

NEW YORK, August 6-The Her
aids special says OF Secretary Stan
toms removal: 1t appears that for
more than year-and this | have
from the best authority-the resigna-
tion of Mr.. Stanton has been looked
for week after week, and month af-
ter month. The President waited,
expecting each day to hear from the
Secretary, but not word came, and
at last letter was drawn up by the
President, asking Mr.. Stanton to re-
sign. This letter was held back for
some time, because of the breach be-
tween the Secretary and the Presi-
wider. This hostility was so decided
that it was thought Mr.. Stanton
could not go on much longer, without
rendering his resignation. But Mr.
Stanton did go on in spite of hints,
&c.. of the evident desire for his va
eating.
As I have already stated, it was not
until this morning that the letter was
actually sent. Should Mr.. Stanton
decline to yield, have authority for
stating that the President will under
take to remove him, and the tenure
of Office bill itself, it is claimed, will
sustain him in this exercise of power.
The President believes the first sec
ton of the bill does not take away his
power of removing Mr.. Stanton, as
the latter was appointed by Mr.. Lin
coin, and not Mr.. johnson. 1t reads
thus:
Provided, that the Secretaries of
State, of the Treasury, of War, of the
Navy, aud of the Interior, and the
Postmaster General and the Attorney
General shall hold their offices re-
spectively during the term of the
President by whom they have been
appointed, and one mouth thereafter,
subject to removal by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate.
The President takes the ground
that he can remove all Of his Cabinet
except the three appointed since his
accession to Office. As to who will
succeed Mr.. Stanton, nothing has
yet been decided. 1t is probable that
General Grant will be summoned to
act temporarily. aud the President
considers that it would be the wlsest
choice for the present.
Gen, Grant being familiar with
army affairs, and the Chief of the
army, would undoubtedly be al ad-
mirable selection. In making this
statement about General Grant, am
but giving the impression of the
people.
The Tribune's special says the rup-
ture between the President and Sec
retary Stanton is still the chief topic
of conversation here. Stanton's
friends who have been with him to-
day, state that he gives out that he will
not resign. He says if the President
wishes to get rid of him, he will have
to do so By violating the law, and re-
