For ten miles the cavalry followed them

They found woman'sssca1p, with beautl-

ter the delivery ofihis speech, which was
some thing similar to the one he made to
tie Cheyenne Chiefs, a very affecting
scene occurred. An old warrior brother
OF ''Two-Horse," celebrated for his friend

Japanese Commissioners.

The Japanese Commissioners were re-

of the Tycoon for the health of the Presi-

welfare of the American nation. His
majesty further desires that the relations

that the Commissioners be presented to

During the As hours, ending on Sunday
night, property to the value of over half
a million of dollars was destroyed by fire
in Chicago, land three lives were also lost.
These fires are all attributed to incendia-
ries. The loss of one of them alone was
100000. Many threatening notices have
been sent to the railroad officers and to
proprietors of planning mills and lumber
yards, warning them against violation
Of the eight-hour law, under the pains
and penalties of the Indignation Of the
moDocrats. 1t is estimated that Chicago
suffered loss of not less than one mil
hon dollars last week from the results
attributed to mob violence. Late on Sun
day night, the Mayor issued a. second
proclamation warning all eyil-disposed
persons that the laws wonld be enforced
and peace and order maintained at all
hazards, with the aid, if needed, Of the
military power Of the city and State.

a SCoUNDREL PARDoNED.- par
don of Samuel Kohnstainm is causing
more excitement than any issued 10
criminals by the President for some time.
This is one Of the most remarkable cases
of the success of female lobbyists known
TO Washington politics. Nearly two
years since the sister of>the prisoner,
who undertook to secure his release, went
to Washington for that purpose and has
worked industrously ever since. Kohn-
stamm was sentenced upon conviction of
most extensive frauds upon soldiers dur
ing the early stages of the war; Be
tween thirty and forty indictments were
found against him., all equally strong.
On one of these he was convicted. An
opinion Of his crimes may be formed from
the remarks of Justice Nelson, of the Su-
preme Court, who presided on the trial.
In pronouncing the sentence he said that
he regarded the detection and conviction
of the prisoner as of equal value to the
national welfare with victory over the
rebels in the field. Kohnstamm, who re-
allied nearly two millions from his frauds,
is said to have offered one hundred thou
sand for his pardon. Those engaged in
the attempt to secure it have lived in the
most cXtravagant style.

Treasury Statistics.

The accounts of the Treasury for the
month just closing will show another
large deduction of the national debt. In
the next statement Secretary Nc Culloch
hopes to reduce the total debt to about
twenty-five hundred millions, at which
point he believes it must remain station
airy as long as the present rate of Gov
ernment income and expenses is main
tanned. The Indian war will draw large
ly OH the national resources this summer
and while the course of the Treasury is
perfectly clear and easy, the reduction of
the national debt must be suspended, for
time at least.

A correspondent at Fort Dodge, Kan
sas, writes, April 22d, as follows: Ac-
cording to the instructions received from
Gen. Hancock, Major Cooper moved his
two companies of cavelry to Cinmarron
Springs, which is about 80 miles from
this post. His orders were to intercept
all Cheyennes and Sioux crossing at that
point. A corporal stationed as a vidette
about four miles from the Cimmarron, was
grazing his horse, when he heard shot
and at the same time bullet whistled
in close proximity to his body. On turn
ing round he preceiyed an indian de ibe-
rately loading his piece to fire second
shot. He fired his piece at him and at
the same time saw body of Indians ma
king toward him. He therefore mounted
his horse and rode hastily towards camp,
and informed Major Cooper OF the pres
ence of Indians. A scouting party
of 16 men were sent after them, and on
coming up to the place designated by the
vidette found the Indians posted on an
island in the, Arkansas River, naturally
strongly fortified. The Indians, on see
ing the military party approach, fired at
once on them, severely weunding one of
the soldiers. The soldiers, who were I'M
der the command of Lieut.. Berry, opened
fire and soon made the island untenable
for the Indians, who then, after short
resistance, retreated across the river, fir
ing as they went. AS soon as they
g lined the other side they commenced to

A special, dated London on the even
ing of the 9Th says: The Reform de-
monstration in Hyde Park to-day was
an immence affair. 1t numbered at least
100000, embracing roughs, gentlemen,
women, children, and worhingmen. Sir
Robert Walpole's proclamation that the
assembly was illegal proved utterly abor-
itive. The morning papers announced
that the Government would not attempt
to put down the meeting, but all the
troops in London and vicinity were under
arms, and large force ofpolice were con-
cealed in secluded part OF the park, and
vehicles kept ready to convey them to
any place in case of riot. ,"z 80.
Fifteen separate meetings were organ
lied, at one of which woman spoke in IA
vor of female suffrage. One stand was
devoted to religious speeches. Most of
the revolutionary sentiments uttered by
the speakers were loudly cheered, as the
police passed by the crowd The Re-
formers advocated order and practically
carried out that idea by driving off
from the trees in the Park the roughs
who had perched in their branches The
Tories treat the meetings as mob victo-
ry while the Reformers claim them as
splendid triumph. The bitterest feeling
exists on both sides, and all London is in
tensely excited. Some of the meetings
are still in progress and will continue till

slavery-AboHshed I'm Brazil. =

SIaEeFy Al4OfA8neQ q In k$faZhs
England, Russia and the United States
within the last few years have success
lively abolished slavery. In England and
Russia the aristocracy-in the United
States. the Democracy resisted the
movement, as at variance with the laws
of nature and the inculcations of rerela-
tion-as prejudicial to the, welfare of the
people emancipated, and as damaging to
social and industrial progress. Croak
ings did not avail to- stop the progress
of the age. = Even Brazil has caught the
infection. A Cable telegram announces
that the Emperor of that country has
abolished slavery, the only limitation
being that children shall be free on reach
ing majority. An enlightened man and
ruler, he comprchends that liberty means
elevation and Improvement, and he unites
his name and dystiny with the best aspi-
rations of the age. Spain remains, in
Europe and America, the champion of
that domestic institution which the dem
ocratic party of this republic venerate as
the corner stone of law and order
ANOTHER CANDIDATE EoR GoyERSoR.-T The
Geneva Times proposes the name OF our towns
man, Hon. DARIUS CALDWELL as a cOndidae foI
Governor. If our friend Of the Telegraph had
not placed US before the public in this connect
ion, we should feel mare At liberty 10 speak of
this suggestion. We shall be safe at least, with
out any violation of the dclicacy of our relation
to the subject, 10 say that we are happy in the
reflection, that no jealousies are likely togrow
up between Mr.. G. and us on this account. JEFF
ferson has long been known as ''aplace OF great
political advantages - and, fit cannot afford
two candidates for Governor in one season, we
think that reputation is of little consequence !;
while it is safe to say that even more names
could be added to the list, without exhausting
the material on hand But as We expect other
places to 'offer up a few citizens ia this way,
it is very possible that the actual candidate
when he comes to be nominated, may not be
from Jefferson. Ashtu6ut0 Sent.
The course of cur Geneva contemporary in
bringing out the name of our worthy friend
Caldwell has put us in somewhat embarrassing
position. Our appreciation of Mr.. Caldwell IS
such that very strong motive is presented for
giving him our heartiest support, but we have
become committed for our distinguished friend
of the Sentinel. The very thing that We de-
sired to avoid-the heading off by an early,
dexterous movement, all other candidates, and
thus to secure to our first choice clear course,
or at least the prestige of much the earliest
start and therefore the inside track-has over
taken us. What, then, is to be done? Our
situation is like that of the donkey between two
bundles of hay! We. cannot guard both, and
find ourselves quite unequal to the mastery of
the situation. Bro. Howe,ls has our first love.
and our yearnings are after him, but the claims
of Mr.. Caldwell will not, we truet, be compro-
missed by the indulgence of this, perhaps, amia-
