Messrs. Turney, BrannOn, Arledge, Met

Illinois FarnsWcrth Heard From.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The Tribune to-mor-
row will publish letter from Gen. j. F.
Farnsworth, addressed to Daniel Shepard,
Secretary of the Illinois Republican State
Central Committee, in reply to a request
that Gen. +. should assist in the present
campaign. FaQswOrth declines the invita-
ton, long since convinced that the Te-elec-
ton of President Grant and the conhnu-
ance of the present policy of administration
would not be for the good of the republic;
that prior to the Philadelphia Convention he
had hoped some other Republican might re-
ceive the nomination. After that cOnyen-
ton was held, however, and until the action
of the Baltimore Convention made
it certain that the support of an
other Republican would not hazard
the defeat of both, he didn't
feel justified in pronouncing against the
former convention. But now tits simply a
choice Of Republicans, and following his
convictions be must support Greeley. OBJ
lection urged that Greeley is supported by
former Rebels South and by the Democrat
ic party, he considers the most gratifying
spectacle presented since the war, as
showing that they accept the verdict of
war and are willing to abide by its legiti-
mate result. He thinks the election OF
Greeley will bring peace, good older and
fraternal good will in the South, and so is a
consummstion most devoutly to be wished.
He says Greeley is a true type of the self
educated self made American Republican
that with Charles Sumner, Hale, Julian and
others who now favor this election he help
ed to form the Republican party ;
that ls IS tlorouhsly familiar
With the history of our
country in every respect. He enumerates
some reasons why in his opinion there
should be 2 change of administration.
Prominent among them are the bad condi-
ton Of the civil service and the tendency to
federalism and Capitalization. He refers to
the argument in Blaine's letter to Sumner
that there is danger that the Congress
brought into power with Greeley will refuse
to legislate to enforce the recent amend.
Rients 10 the Constitution, and says: eIf
these amendments depend gpon the acts
of Congress to give them force and validity,
they are indeed shaky, for what one Con-
gress does, another may undo" Besides
in every ore of the Constitutions of the
rebel States there are provisions securing to
the people of these States tie same rights
guaranteed by the Constitutional amend
ments. be thanks the committee for the

BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Aug. Capt.
King, the largest stock owner in Texas,
was attacked, and six mules taken from his
ranch by band of eight Maxicsns. A
German named Specht was zkilled. The
Mexicans fed when their fire was returned.
1t is believed these men were sent to MUIR
der King, to prevent him from appearing
before the Depreciation Commissioners at
Brownsville.
The Commissioners express astonish-
ment at the crimes and outrages the MeXi-
cans have perpetrated on the people of
Texas, as shown by the testimony taken.
The evidence before the American Com
mission shows that the cattle stolen by
Mexicans near Brownsville numbered sixty
thousand, valued at million dollars.

NEW YORK, Aug. Ga Quebec dispatch
says that at the general elections for the
Center and West Divisions yesterday,
COuchan's men, the Centr;', took possession
of the polls and commenced fearful excesses.
The Ross meE banded together to repel
their attacks, but were too weak for their
assailants, who were $500 strong and arm.
ed with revolvers. A fearful encounter
took place at the foot of Eustache street.
Several lives were lost, whilst the wounded
are numberless. The Dominion artillery
and First battery had to be called out, as
well as the armed Provincial police, as the
polls were taken possession of. COnse-
Quently no fair return could be made but
Couchan, the French Canadian candidate,
is declared returned. The Euglish speak
ing population it would seem is to be ex-
terminated by the French. According to
the statements Of the leaders of the French
party it is feared that more blOodshed will
take place, as the Diamond harbor boys are
going up town to revenge the murder of
their men.

THE 'sUsANvILLR STAGE
ROBBERY.

Two Of the highwaymea who robbed
the Susanville stage a short distance
from the other side of Reno Friday
morning, have been captured. The
evidence against them is very conclu-
sive, and they are extremely Liable to
find their way to Lieutenant Governor
Denver's big stone house, near Carson,
before they are a year older. The
third man Is supposed to have been
shot. but succeeded in making his es-
cape for the present. The robbers
went from Virginia City. Jake Nor
rison and James Glen are the names
of those captured. They were arrested
at Virginia Saturday afternoon BY the
police. The Reno State Journal Of
Saturday, gives the following particu-
lars of the robbery:
Yesterday morning at a little after 4
o'clock the Reno and SuSanville stage,
with Mr.. Themes, the proprietor,
driving, started for Susanvllle, having
on board Sheriff Streshley, of Lassen
county, and two other passengers.
When about 4 mile and n halt from
town and a short way beyond the bu-
rial ground. three armed men sprang
OF from the side of the road and or
dered Themes to stop. He tried not
TO see it in that light, and whipped up
the horses, hoping to avoid a difficulty.
The robbers were not to be thus
thwarted and took three or four shots
at Themes and the stage. One of the
shots took effect in the shoulder Of one
of the lead horses, who dropped to the
ground, breaking the lead bars rs he
fell. and this Of course brought tho
stage to a stop. Immediately after
the robbers fired, Sheriff Streshley and
Themes turned in their seats and fired
five shots each at them. One Of the
other passengers also fired two or three
shots, none of which took effect. The
team having stopped, and the party
having no more ammunition, coiiclud-
ed discretion was the better part Of
valor, and therefore when told by the
TODDGTS W ulSlllOuIll, dtN oV. AhS AOD
bers then went through them in the
most approved style, and were reward
ed for their labors by obtaining about
$50. There was no Wells, Fargo &
Co. treasure box OH the stage, Themes
having the two or three packages Of
coin intended for Susanville in his coat
pocket, and he managed while the
passengers were getting out to slip
them in a box on top Of the stage. Tho
robbers then started towards town and
that is the last seen Of them. Themes
returned to town, and after putting
things in shipshape, started again.
While here it was found that M ball
had penetrated the coach, and that an
other had lodged In a box on top Of
the stage behind Thomes' seat. Sheriff
Pesg. Deputy Kincaid and Constable
Jones, on receipt Of the news started
after the highwaymen. but ut the pres
ent writing nothing has been heard
from them.
