The vacation OF the Board Of Aldermen still con-

The trouble IN the Board Of Assistant Aldermen

the crowded passage ways and general air OF busi-
ness and excitement. Many were OF the usual
class OF hungry office seekers, like the immortal

the changes which must take place In the person

OF asplrants will be disappointed.

At four O'Clock yesterday afternoon the Jersey

Cortlandt street to Jersey City, heavily laden with
freight and passengers. In the rear Of the boat
stood one OF Adams Express wagons, loaded with
trunks, valses, quarters of beef and other miscel

to the vehicle, and as the boat approached
the slip the animals, frightened by the
backward movement OF a team ahead,
began to back furiously towards the stern
OF the boat The wheels were caught 1or time by
the chains, but the horses continued TO move with
increased energy, and all On sudden pushed the
wagon into tho river. The horses followed, and
the excitement on board became intense. 1t
appears that there was very large CONN on the
wagon, encasing corpse ana, this becoming

WASHINGTON, May 14.-The Commits sioners ridicule the idea of q general h. dian war. The Commissioners of Indian Affairs regard the occasional predictions of a general Indian war as wholly unwar- ranted. The Indians are not united as are our civilized communities, but divided in small bands, each of which is an indcpend- ent organization, having no relation what ever with the other tribes. In fact, even when they are not at war with each other, they are seldom on friendly terms. Their sympathies are limited solely to the mem- bers of their tribe, and therefore the Com- missioners believe that the Modocs will have no effect with other tribes, excepting the Snake Indians, with whom they have been somewhat affiliated in the past. The Warm Springs Indians are against the Mo- does. This is an illustration of the indif- ference of the Indians to the trials and tribulations of other tribes.
 The above shows that the Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs has very correct idea of Indian character. They naturally hate white men, and are treacherous by nature, and if it best serves their interest they will join with white men and fight each other. Gen. Crook has been enabled to ma- nipulate them and gain substantial advantages by using Apaches against Apaches. But if his force is weak ened so that they can see chance to whip the soldiers by unity of action, they will not be long in forming an- other bond of union and making common cause against the whites once more.

WE have been permitted to make the following interesting extracts from letter from Rome:
 I have seen perfect representation of the great Green Dragon, but with the strong foot of St. Mich ael upon its neck. As for saints, through paint and marble, I have become pretty we'll acquainted with the whole calendar. There is a round church here, the wall of which is divided in panels, about 20 in all, and each one has cheerful picture of a saint being roasted, !, pulled to pieces, burned at the stake, drinking hot lead. crucifed upside down, boiled in oil, etc., to show how the early Christians had to suffer. The favorite saint among painters and sculptors ap- pears to have been Sebastian, who is usually depicted as youth of great beauty, and his body is pierced with arrows while he Is tied to a tree, and forms narrowing sight in almost every church and gallery in Italy. What wonderful interest would be imparted to your reading of the history of Rorne, if you could see the crumbIed re- mains of her ancient glory, and step the very stones that Caesar trod ride over the very road that Apius made 250 years be- fore Christ, and stand upon the forum where the great debates were held which decided the fate of nations. We have looked upon the spot where RomeIus and Remus were nurtured by the wolf: the house where the vestal virgins kept the sa- cred fre the Tarpeian rock where traitors met their fate: the vast palace of the Caesars. where the emperors guarded their precious lives in splendid state. and many of them took their last supper on cold poison or cold steel. We were presented to His Holiness the Pope, and found him a kind and courteous old gentleman. He does not leave the Vatican, and it is con- mon to say that he is shut up like pris- oner, but if so. it is like city, vast and magnificent, and affording miles of walks and drives.
