Leaving for the Black Hills.
ST. PAUL, Sept S.-A dispatch from
Bismarck says that a party of so men
will leave Bismarck in about thirty
days for the Black Hills. The party
will be composed of experienced min

consequently not bother themselves
with supplies to any extent.

The Church and the Government.
NEW YORK, Sept s.-A Rome letter
says: In progressing with the seques-
tration of church property, the Gov
ernment Commission take action
which show they are determined to
cut nearer and nearer to the bone, and
leave the formerly well-fed body but
little else than skeleton. The estab-
lishment of the Propaganda was last
week made to feel for the first time
the pressure, and at the first turn of
the screw the Government brought to
the auction block the fine property of
the Mantals, large villa or palace in
an admirable situation above Fran
cati.
NEW YORR, Sept. 9.-The London
papers received to-day contain letter
from the Marquis de Safraga, Charge
d'Atfaires of Carlists, regarding the
shooting of some Republican prison
ers at Piu Olothe. It says that the
Republican soldiers had previously
shot and bayonetted the Carlists
wounded and dying in the hospitals at
Olothe. No one regrets the sanguin-
ary character the war has assumed
more than His Majesty, Don Carlos,
but when the enemy will not respect
the ordinary usages of civilized war
fare, there are no means left for the
Royal Generals to employ but retalia-
ton.
