After the award oil the United
! State five per cent. loan to the Messrs.
Rothschilds and associates, of SlG9 ,000 COG
of the 5179 900 offered the Elmira i'd
rertiSer says, this is an indisputable proof
of the confidence Of this celebrated house
in our finances. They bid for the largest
amount Of all compettors-offered best
terms for the Treasury, and thus establish
our public credit abroad. This will both
| hasten the redemption of all our 6 per cent.
j-20s, and urge our currency nearer TO par.
The gold premium cannot fail to be cor
respondingly affected. And when the
marketing Of the crops shall come in, an
other element will be added TO strengthen
our finances and the lowering of the pre-
MUM to very lowest figures may be expect
ed by November. But all this exalts the
nation in the political opinion of the world,
| The confidence in our finance builds up our
government in power and the trust in ma
tional faith. This loan will be negotiated
by the strongest financial house in Europe.
The party of the opposition will be disarm
| ed of one Of their most dangerous weapons
| for years TO come. This loan has been an
anxious issue as affecting the decrease of the
! public debt and further removing the pos
sibility or increased taxation. The bold
regulations Of the Democracy are silenced,
and Republican sound financial manage
ment exalted. The Rothschilds by name,
alone, establish the success Of the loan.
/ But what is Of greater significance, the
| standing Of our bonds can 10 longer be
doubtful in any European market. What
they lave accomplished for Russia and
France, they will now use their immense
/ influence to bring about in behalf of the
! United States, which are indebted to the
Messrs. Seligmans for planning such a com
| bination, having previously bid for SO,
| 000, 600 Of the loan through their Frankfort
| house The Rothschilds, once before, for
/ half a century, manipulated a part of our
( public stocks, when they bore only 3 per
cent. interest, and we were only ten mil
lions in number. Tney witnessed the crea-
| ton and redemption Of this debt under Gen.
Jackson. Although friendship caused the
transfer of the accounts Of the State De
partment to the Barings, during Webster's
Secretaryship, no misunderstanding follow
ed, and the Rothschilds have never ceased
to entertain kind feelings towards the
| United States.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
BEECHER AND TILTON.

NEW YORK, 1ug. 4, 1874.
Beecher, Beecher, Beecher Tilton, Til
ton, Tilton. We are having a surfeit of
Beecher and rather too much of Tilton.
None of your senses can escape either
Beecher or Tilton. As you walk the streets
the newsboys howl "All about the Beecher
scandal-l-l :" You look over the dead
walls, and portraits of Beecher and Tilton,
in advertisements Of sensation papers, stare
YOU out of countenanCe. Sit down at ia
BILE, and your next neighbor will, thou
sand to one, ask you, What is the latest
regarding the Beecher scandal ?'' and in
sist upon discussing the entire case, conf
mencing with the marriage of Tilton, down
to the absorbing conundrum, "What will
Moulton testify to ?"
And by the way the whole thing just
now, SINNERS down upon this one man,
Moulton. The fate of Henry Ward Beech
er is in the hands of Moulton. While
Titon has been gaining friends every day
and Beecher losing ground with equal ra-
DlUlJV, illGT I'LL llIOll oIebCO
ment will never drive Beecher out of his
place. For while Tilton aflirms, Mr..
Bcecher and Mrs. Tilton deny, and Theo-
dore has not kept his hands sufficiently
clean in the matter of miscellaneous love-
making to oe accepted as a competent wit
ness, no matter how strong his statement.
No one who knows the parties doubts Mr..
Beecher's guilt, but the people get very ju-
dical in such cases, and insist upon the
charges being proved judicially. Now,
Mr.. Frank Moulton was with Tilton when
Tilton charged Beecher with the crime,
and it has been stated over and over again
that Beecher confessed to adultery with
Mrs Tilton in the presence of Moulton.
The great moral, or rather immoral ques-
ton is, will Moulton swear to this ? 1fso,
it settles the entire question and makes a
funeral of Mr.. Beecher. If not, while the
people at large, will believe all that Tilton
has charged, Plymouth Church will affect
to disbelieve it, and hold its pastor.
Why should not Moulton testify to what
he knows, he being afraid of Tilton? Be-

The other nominees were elected according
to local feeling. Party lines in most
places were not strictly drawn. The ma
iority for Jones in Franklin county is over
300. Local option seems to have been de-
feated at all points.

THE BLOOD CURE.-It is said that
"nearly two hundred people in the city of
New York rise at daybreak for the purpose
of repairing to the slaughter-hOuses and
drinking the warm blood OF animals. At
first the taste is repulsive, but in 4 short
time the desire for the ensanguined drink
becomes intense. COmsumptiyes drink the
warm blood as a means Of prolonging their
lives, and some testify that their existence
has been prolonged Tor many years by par
taking Of it regularly, and that it has be-
come positive luxury" Bah Even if we
could believe that relief was to DC obtained
from the use of this repulsive medicine, it
strikes us forcibly that we should prefer
death, which sooner or later will come,
than swallow the nauseous stuff. The idea
of swallowing pint or SO Of blood spouting
warm from the heart Of n dying bullock
every morning until from frequent use it
becomes a positive luxury" is simple dis
gustlng.

HAVING within the last few years completed

ed for the purposed of removing the pressure
from the valve as it exists at pesent, we will
warrant for six months and place one in any Lo-

mer or any other stationary engine. 1t is simple,
cheap, effective and indestructable and saves
fuel and machinery. 1t moves its weight only.
No alteration in any part of the machinery is re-
quired to apply it, and the time occupied in sub-
stituting it for the ordinary 'D valve need not be
over half an hour.
"a 1t indispensable at the mines where hoist
ing is done. With this valve the engine can be
reversed without shutting of the steam, thus
saving time and avoiding labor. This valve can
be moved easily with one hand when surrounded

The Indian Troubles.
A SUCCESSFUL BATTLE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. |

WASHINGTON, Aug.
The War Department has received a re-
port of the expedition under the command
of Captain 4. T. Bates, which left Camp
Brown, Wyoming Territory, July /, for the
purpose Of Furnishing the Indians who lad
been committing depredations in that and
the neighboring valleys. After several
DAYS marching he reached the Indian vii
lage of Owl Creek Mountain, which consist
ed of l12 lodges placed in a deep rayine.
The Indians opened sharp fire on the
troops as they approached, but without
damage, and the troops quickly drove them
through a gully. where they were crowded
so closely together near the lower end, that
the troops had splendid chance at them,
and counted after the fight seventeen dead
bodies almost in one heap. In about
| twenty minutes, or halfan hour at furthest,
/ there was not an Indian in the village, eX-
cepting the dead and numbers Of children
who were left in the lodges.
The Indians who escaped had reached
the rocks above, where they opened very
telling fire on the troops, killing two men
and wounding three in a very few minutes.
| The result of the fight was twenty-five In
dians known to be killed, and with the usu-
al proportion of four wounded to one killed,
seventeen were counted in front of the vii
lage. The others were left, part in the vii
! agc, and part on the side of the bluff.
Had the Shoshones who accompanied the
| expedition kept quiet in the first instance,
and given the commander an opportunity
! to reconnoitre the ground thoroughly, so
as to take possession of the commanding
points, or had they followed Lieut.. Young,
who received the orders correctly, and at
| tempted to lead them to the attack, Cap
tain Bates would have been able To report
the most complete victory Captain B. Sc
cond Cavalry, ever achieved, for the cap
| tain thinks not half dozen would have es-
capcd. But owing to the bad conduct OF
his Indian allies first, aud cowardice after
ward. he thinks the troops achieved only
about halfas much as was intended. To
sum up the action of these Shoshone In
dians, they betrayed the troops first and
deserted them in the fight. Some of them,
however, behaved well.
