John Sample rode LongfelloW, and
Jimmy Row rode Bassett, the same
rider who rode at the Branch.
AS the race commenced, Melon

At the start Bassett took the lead.
He held it at the first mile and the

Then his left fore-shoe broke half

dropped, and the race was up.

Uncle John followed about fifteen

his leg bandaged, but he could not
step on it. His fetlock bent down to
the ground.

T,ongfelIoW's Last Race.

Eli Perkins sends from Saratoga
to the New York Advertiser the fol
lowing note on the race of the 18th
between LongfelIow and Harry Bas-
sett, in which the former horse be-
came permanently crippled.
The letter above was written and
sent from Saratoga on Sunday, but
with the clumsy facilities which the
Saratoga post Office allows to CORES
pondents it was delayed until Mon
day before it left Saratoga.
The great feature of the races to-
day was the meeting again of Harry
Bassett and Longfellow. The race
drew a fearful crowd causing the al
most utter desertion of the big ho-
tells. Such a waving sea of hand

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The charge made
last evening by Senator Shurz in his speech at
st. Louis, to the effect that he had been offer
ed official patronage by President Grant or
his friends to vote against his convictions OF
duty In regard to the annexation of San DOM
ingo was laid before the President by Secre-
tary Belknap, on General Grants arrival here
this mornig, the President pronouncing the
whole statement, as far as it attempted to re-
feet upon him, as absolutely unfounded in
fact. In no way was any one ever authorized
to tender to Schurz, or any other Senator, the
control or use of any patronage for his appro-
val of the San Domingo annexation policy, or
any other measure of this administration. The
President expresses his earnest desire that
Schurz will at once publish the letter which
he claims to have in relation to this pretended
proffer, in order that if any one has SO imposed
upon the Senator it may lead to full expo

Indian Massacre.

The War Department has details Of the
massacre of tho Lee family on Clear Fork, six
teen miles below Fort Griffin, Texas. The ia
ther, mother and little girl eight years of age
were killed by arrows, then scalped, and the
bodies left with the arrows sticking in them.
Mrs. Lees ears were cut off. Cordelia, aged
fifteen, Susanna, aged seventeen, and John
Lee, aged SIX, were taken prisoners. The
commander of the post, Lieut. Griffin, sent
scouting parties after the Indians, but there
was great delay IN their starting, owing TO a
food In the river, and there were small hopes
of overtaking the murderers. General Augur
fears that more extensive operations will have
to be taken against these Indians before they
will remain peaceable. With Mexico on one
side, and the reservations on the other, as
places of refnge and security for themselves
and their pluader, the present defensive sys-
tenn will not effect much.

Political Dilemmas--One Of our intelh-
gent farmers from Washington township, who
is unmistakabIy and eternaIly q member of
the Republican party, was despatched to town
the other day, by his estimable spouse on or
rand of q novel nature. She was, by birth
and education, Democrat, and felt desire
to continue her sympathies with that party,
but being a careful observer she had watched
the inception of Liberal RepublIcanism, and
Its desperate firtations with its friend Democ-
racy, which finally resulted in the marriage of
the political harlot, with the apostate Demec-
racy. A new name even Democratic Repub-
lican was pronounced, but upset by old Gree
ley, who in solemn accents tearfully declared
that Democrats are no less Democrats than be-
fore, and their leader and head is no less Re
publican than when he stood in the ranks of
the Republican party, and fred the mono
gram shots of robbers, vermin, horse thieves,
&C., at them. No wonder that this bit of his
tory disclosed only confusion, q medley of dis
cordant ends and fragments Of political par
ties, which the perplexed woman could not
identify. Yainly she endeavored to distinguish
her party by some familiar mark or sign and in
this dilems posted her husband to town to as
certain by aid of the party genealogy, she
now belongs. But who shall decide when the
doctors disagree. His experience was that no
two of the leaders could agree, and he went
home convinced that Pseudonyn was the only
word in the language, that could be appropri-
stely applied to the new product.
