WASHINGTON, July II, 1870.
THE FUNnTJn prr


The prediction so often made that the
secretary OF the Treasury would secure
IN Conference Committee in the last davs
OF the session Funding Bill that would
be acceptable to him, and that he couId
successfully enforce, was realized TO-DAY
by an agreement on bill for funding fif-
teen hundred millions of the present bon
ded debt into three new classes of bonds.
as follows:
First-A ten-year bend at five per cent.
OF which ten hundred millions are to be
Second-A ifteen-year bond at four
and-a-halfper cent, Of which three hun
dred millions are to be issued.
ThIrd-A thirty bond, of which
one thousand millions are to be issued
bearing four per cent interest.
The principal and interest of these
bonds are to be paid IN gold, and to be ex-
empt from all taxation. The interest is
payable semi-annually and in this country
the Secretary failing to have inserted in
the bill what is known as the foreign loan
clause. The rates of interest are the same
as IN the Senate Fcnding bill, which pass
ed March IL besides the classes of bonds
INTO which holders of the matured FIVE
Gwentles can convert their bonds the bill
| Z
as are now or may hereafter become re-
deemable by using the coin in the Treasn-
ry, deposited there, as provided in the
original House bill, or by using to a GER
tain limit coin derived from imports to
cancel said matured bonds. An future
National banks are to be organized on
these bonds, but the feature of the origi-
ma! Senate measure which compelled the
existing National banks to exchange their
present bonds Is omitted. The new bill as
agreed on, it is believed will pass both
Houses. While it is not so strong bill
as the Secretary hoped for earlier in the
session, 1T is a much better bill than the
Senators thought he would get In fact,
the more general impression has been that
no Funding bill would pass this session.
THE NATURALIZATION BILL.
The House concurred, to-day, in the
Senate amendment to the Naturalization
bill, and it now only requires the sigma
ture OF the President to become a law.
Although it does not transfer the power
OF naturalization from the State to the
Federal Courts, it gives the latter the
power to appoint what is virtually Fed
eral police, called Special Agents, who are
to attend every election precinct to look
| after naturalization and other frauds. In
all elections for United States officers,
these agents are to be appointed in ali
cities exceeding twenty thousand inhabi-
tants. 1t is generally understood that
the bill was passed with special reference
to New York City.
SENATOR sCHURZ.
AS soon as Congress adjourns, it is un-
! derstood that Senator Schurz will return
to Missouri and lead the liberal radical
side in politics in that State in the
coming campaign, advocating the Univer-
sal Amnesty and Universal Suffrage
Amendment to the State Constitution.
There are over sixty Thousand white citi-
zens disfranchised now by the State. SEN
ator Schurz will also favor the free-trade
principle.

The killing OF Hon. e. ID. HOIbrOOIk
in idaho City.

On Saturday evening, about 81 o'clock,
at Idaho city, a shooting affair took place
between Charles Douglass and Mr.. Hol-
brook; which resulted in the death of the
latter. There are great many rumors
afoat somewhat contradictory in their pur-
port, but as far as we can learn, it appears
that Mr.. Holbrook was sitting in front of
his law Office, adjoining Mr. Belknap's
drug store, when he was approached by
Douglass, who asked him if he (Holbrook)
had called him a coward Holbrook re-
piled in the affirmative, when Douglass
drew his revolver and fired, tie ball tax
ing effect in the lower portion of the abdo-
men of Mr.. Holbrook Mr.. Holbrook i'm
mediately jumped upon his feet, drew his
revolver and fired at Douglass, who re-
treated around the corner, followed by
Holbreok. A number of shots passed
through the bow window of the drug
store, completely demoishing everything.
In all about ten shots were fired Doug
lass escaped unhurt. Another account
states that the first firing was simultane-
Gus, still another, that Holbrook fired the
first shot. Holbrook survived the wound
about twelve hours, retaining his con-
sciousness, and expressing his satisfaction
at having failed to hit Douglas. Deceased
was buried with Masonic honors.-Boise

NOVEL CRICRETING
The Cricket Invasion OF Nevada

The Cricket Invasion OF Nevada
Whence They Came and whittier
BOund.- ----------a---
The State has been invaded by crickets.
Vast armies OF them have entered the
eastern portion of the State A week ago
the advance guard of the devastating
horde poured down upon Elko and as
they swept past with their silent tramp,
the people stood appalled, at their num-
bers. The Elko LTadepende71t does not
trace their course eastward, but they evil
IDENTIFY come from Utah, the home of the
cricket, grasshopper and polygamus Nor
mon, and are endeaVoring to cut or eat
their way through to the green valleys of
the Truckee. They are destructive on
vegetation, and their advance should be
stopped bysome means. As the malari-
GUS marshes of the Ganges seem to be the
home Of the cholera, so does Atah appear
to be the birthplace of the cricket and
grasshopper plaques of the Great Basin.
For the past eight or ten years, if not
longer, that Territory has been sorely
afflicted with grasshoppers, and it has
sometimes seemed that the Saints would
be compelled to yield their fields and pas
lures to these innumerable and remorse-
less destroyers.
The cricket pest, however, has been less
severe, and from the habits of this insect,
we do not apprehend that the present in
vasion will prove very destructive. They
sometimes appear in prodigious numbers,
but they travel slowly, and their advance
is easily stopped In 1885, for a distance
of twenty or twenty-five miles, in Utah,
the whole face of the country was so
densely covered with crickets- large, fat,
clumsy, wingless fellows-that the wheels
of the emigrant's wagon became almost
clogged with the crushed carcasses of
these insects. As their course could easi-
ly be traced, it was manifest that they
had not travelled far, and winter probably
overlook them before they had swept
over a very wide scope of the county,
They advance steadily, however, and
multiply hundred and fifty fold each
year. Hence crckets, now that they have
entered the State, may be expected for
some time To come

. ANOTHER ACCOUNT

CHEYENNE, Wy. T., July IA party
of twenty prospectors, who left here for
the Snake Liver mines three weeks ago,
returned to-day. They witnessed fight
between Utes and Cheyennes, and propa-
bly, owe their lives to the fact of the In
dians fighting among themselves. July
4, they found the body of Mr.. Shipman,
of Independence, Montana, in front of. his
cabin. He was shot twice, scalped and
axes were driven into his head, and his
body was mutilated in a manner too hor-
rible and disgusting to mention.
Eighty miles north of here, at North
Platte Ferry, they found the bodies Of
two more miners mutlated in a like man

WHOLESALE MASSACRE OF MINERS.

A Five Hours Battle between the Utes
and Cheyenn0-The Victims Appeasse
their Appetite for Blood by SIauEh-
tertng the MISUNDERSTANDING De-
tails,
LARAMIE CITY, July THE Laramie
Sentinel says that after dark last night a
man came into Sherman station from
North Park and reported that there had
been general massacre of the white
miners there by the Utes. The report as
1t comes to US Is that party of Cheyen-
mes came IN there, and the Utes went to
the miners to get them to help fight the
Cheyennes, which they refused to do A
fight then ensued between the Utes and
Cheyennes, which lasted some five hours,
when the latter fed Then the Utes went
at the miners, and killed all they could
find Of them.
The informant states that he buried
three of the killed at John Gillman's cab
IN, or near it. One was a man named
Shlpman, who was sick, and in the care OF
Mr.. Van Dyke, from whom we published
letter a few days ago. We did not
learn the names of the others. They were
all very much mangled, and their heads
chopped to pieces. Up to the present writ
ing Mr. Van Dyke has not been heard
from, though his coat and hat were found
in his cabin. In the present state of ex-
citement it is difficult to get at the facts,
but We regard as certain that the Utes
haye broken out upon US, and that several
miners have been killed over at the
Park.
Reports later than the foregoing make
1t undoubtedly true that the North Park
miners have been massacred.

A "merchant prince OF New York;
portly 'six-footer' of great manly beauty,
who mover dinod without his brandy and
watcr nor went to bed without a terrapin
or oyster supper, and who was never
known to be drunk-died Of chronic diar-
rhpa, common end OF those who arc nov
or intoxicated and never out of liquor.
Halls Journal Of Health gives this account
of his death:
"Months before he died-he was n year
in dying-he could eat nothing without dis
trcss, and at death the whole alimentary
canal was n mass Of disease; in the midst
of his millions he died of inanition. That
