THE question whether Gen. Sherman could be
Acting Secretary of War during Secretary Belk-
maps absence, having been referred TO the Attor-
ney General, the latter decided that under an act
OF Congress approved in 1871 no army officer can
hold any civil position, and in case he docs so he
forthwith ceases to be an officer of the army
Gen. Sherman will therefore not serve as Acting
Secretary Of War, and the President has designa-
ted Secretary Robson TO act in that position du-
ring the absence of Secretary Belknap, who leaves
Washington for a tour of Inspection of the De
partment of Missouri.

INDIAN MATTERS.

Washington, 20. The Commissioner of
Indian Affairs has returned from Fort Sill.
He says that the delight of the Indians on the
restoration of their Chief was expressed in
extravagant actions, including the hugging of
Gov. Davis, whom they now look upon as
among their best friends. In consideration
of the favor they say that they will rigidly
comply with the terms of release. The de-
mand of the Commissioner on the Camanches
for delivery into custody of five of the In
dams residing in Texas, was complied with
after threat to withhold the rations and 9TH
er supplies stipulated in the treaty which they
had broken. The Chiefs furnished scouts to
accompany a detachment of troops in pur-
suit of the raiders. 1t is considered good
point gained that these Indians acknowledge
their obligations, and show disposition to
carry them out.
The object of the present visit of the Crow
and the Indians to Washington, is to talk
over their business, and the Indian Bureau
wishes to make some impression on them as
to the power of tbs United States, and the
force of the peace policy. And further, that
many rowing Indians may be influenced
through them to go on the reservations of the
Indians to whom they may most incline.

HaIe's Lecture in Waterville.

Last evening we had the pleasure of listen
ing TO the second lecture Of our excellent
course, delivered by the Rev. Z. E. Hale of
Boston. The subject, 'In His name" was
singular, we had thought, yet it proved to be
well chosen. The lecture was presented in
the form of a legend, embracing story Of the
religious struggle in Southern France. The
time of the legend is exceedingly fruitful in
dark and tragic pictures and the location also
was no less well adapted to lend it interest.
Poor France seems for ages to have been, in
high degree, the land of religious persecu-
tons and bigoted intolerance.
Mr.. Hale had abundance of thrilling scenes
woven into his legend, which excited the
deepest interest. He is a powerful master of
word painting, and some of his pictures were
so graphically drawn that they appeared hv-
ing scenes to his audience.
The legend is too long to permit us to give
even brief outline, besides no dull outline
of ours can give even the faintest conception
of the picture as it was presented to US.
The third lecture in the course will be given
by Professor Elder of the University. His
subject "Water and its elements" will be il
Illustrated with brilliant experiments, among
which will be presented some of the finest of
Professor Tyndals', while lecturing in New
York city.

WATERvILLE, Sept. Is.
The Murder in ArOOstoOk.


The Wing has further details of the murder
in Houlton, referred to in our dispatches
yesterday. Willie Martin, the murdered
young man, was but 10 years of age. He had
been partial to girl, Mary Kelly, daughter of
a blacksmith named Michael J. Kelly, late
from Bangor. Kelly disapproved of the in
timacy and is said to have threatened Martins
life. Kelly and daughter were arrested, when
the latter gave up an empty pistol which she
said Martin gave her. A post-mortem exam
ination was held. Miss Kelly tells clear,
straightforward story, which seems to remove
every shadow of suspicion of her guilt. The
excitement over the affair is very intense.
The post-mortem examination disclosed the
fact that the deceased was killed by bullet
which penetrated the forehead and escaped
from above the left ear
About twenty witnesses were summoned
and at o'clock Saturday afternoon the Coz,
oner's jury began to take testimony. When
arraigned before the jury the Kelly girl told
| very simple, straightforward story, satisfy
| ing all present that she was innocent OF the
crime committed. She admitted that during
the evening she discharged the pistol towards
the bank of the stream, but saw no one In that
direction; and that she afterwards went to
| the "show" at Frisbie's Hall.
Kelly denies everything; says he and the
deceased were the best of friends; that he
was not opposed to the intimacy between his
daughter and the deceased, but had only ad
vised her to wait the arrival of her mother
He declared that he never fred pistol in his
| life.

several times threatened the life of his daugh
ter and the deceased. In his shop was fount
a frock stained with blood. ALI these thing
might be and the man still be innocent of this
crime; but these circumstances create strong
suspicion of guilt.
The jury were in session up to o'clocl
Saturday night, but nothing of importance
aside from the above, was obtained from tn
witnesses. The court adjourned to Monda
morning, after taking the personal recogni
zance Of witnesses not already examined.
