Saratoga Race-columbus Boys win


SARATOGA, July 18.-The boats in
the intercollegiate race started at
10:45 A. NJ, and Columbus came in
winner, with Yale second, in II min
utes and 124 seconds, a foul is
claimed between Havard and Yale.
About $4,000 people assembled at
the lake this morning to witness
the University Boat Race-set down
for 10 A. NJ. The lake was smooth
as glass. At 9.45 first gun fired. At
1920 the second and starting gun
at 1887. All the boats got off
handsomely together, Columbia at
the half mile taking the lead. Then
Trinity made squirt over-hauled
Columbia, and at the end of mile
took the lead away from Yale,
which in the struggle had got ahead,
but at that moment fouled and fell
behind. Princeton came close up to
Trinity. The other crews were
about in line behind. At the mile
and a half post the Columbia came
to the front again with Harvard
struggling sharply, the remainder
maintaining their former position.
At the two mile point Columbia was
still in the advance with Cornell ma
king a squirt to overtake her and
passed Harvard. At the two and a
half mile point Columbia was still
ahead with Wesleyan, which now
showed great vigoE pressing her
sharply and steadily. The last half
mile was then one continuous excl
ting pull between Columbia, Wesley
an, Harvard and Dartmouth, and
they came in that order, Columbia
ahead about two boat lengths and
making the distance in sixteen min
utes fifty seconds. The winning
crew was greeted with tremendous
cheering on reaching the shore. B.
Frank, captain and stroke, tainted.
He was Immediately lifted by the
crew and carried on their shoulders
up the hill to Moons Lake House,
but before reaching the house he
had entirely recovered. The scene
following the race was one long to
be remembered, and was only MARI
ed In its joyousness by the failure of |
Yale to participate beyond the mile |
point at which place Yale was taking |
the lead with good prospects for
keeping it.

CINCINNATI, July 2I.--Yesterday
morning when the Gazette compost
tors went home it was deemed ne
cessary that they should be escorted
by policemen. During the day
threats were made by some of the
Union men against the new compos-
ltors. In one instance letter was
sent to a sister of one of them say
ing that if her brother did not leave
the composing room there would be
blood shed. Last night after the
regular midnight lunch, number of
the cOmpositors were seized with Sc
we're vomiting accompanied with
burning sensation i'll the throat and
stomach. Many of the men were
obliged to go to their houses. 1t is
supposed their coffee was poisoned.
Some of the coffee was preserved
and chemical analysis will be made
of it. sa a aaniafi' .t

WASHINGTON, July 2O-The Com
missioner of Indian Affairs has re-
ceived a report from Agent James
! Irwin. of the Shoshone and Ban
mack Agency, giving the particulars
of the attack. upon the Indian camp
bv Capt. Boles, with Company Z.
Cavalry, on the I'd inst. an account
of which has already been telegraph.
ed by Gen. Sheridan to the War
Department. Agent Irwin says:
''This is no doubt the most punish
ment they ever received, but they
have brought it upon themselves, and
richly deserve it. 1t is hard to tell
what may follow. If they can get
sufficient reinforcements, they may
give us severe visit before the
snow flies. ! would suggest that, in
the interests of humanity and civil
zation, these Indians be compelled
to go and live on their reservation
THE INDIANS, by recent accounts
are on the war path, and evince
disposition to carry on their murders,
and erueIties without stint. News
comes from Galveston, Texas, that
band of Indians and a portion of
the Wise county rangers met on the
10th and had severe fight, in which
the whites, having the fewer num-
bers, suffered the most-one man
killed and several wounded. The
reds afterwards attacked a ranch,
and after killing one and wounding
several, assistance was sent for to
neighboring fort, when the Indians
disappeared. A later account says
there was another five hours fight
and three men killed, five wounded,
and some fifteen missing. At night
the Indians held the field.
An account from st. Louis states
that a large body of Camanches,
some so miles west of Ft. Sill, in the
Indian Territory, made an attack on
a company of cavalry. The captain
was badly wounded and six men
killed. The loss to the Indians, not
known. Afterwards stage keeper
was killed and skinned in presence
of his wife, and she was carried
away into captivity.
Another dispatch from Omaha,
states that several mining camps
in Wyoming Territory had been at
tackled by 200 Sioux. The Seminole
mines are the scenes of the murder
Gus attacks, which were defended
with valor by the miners, and resi-
dents of the vicinity. The results are
not very definitely given, but several
deaths occurred, and help was called
for from military post within
reach. The Indians are also fight
ing among themselves. The war
spirit seems to be determined.

The Northern Ohio JounGl(9
with a patent outside, seems to be
in about the same condition of mind
as few fellows in and about War
rem. he wants to see the fur fly in
a lively discussion of the merits of
the Representative of this district.
While he has no apparent motive
fol opposition but that of gratuitous
depravity, the Warren chaps have
foolish vagary that they could I'LL
his place. They, therefore, are bent
upon agitation and discussion, and
so full are they of this, that they
well over in the Pittsburgh dailies.
This bait, has thus far, failed to Sc
cure nibble, except from our friend
and generally judicious neighbor, of
the Times. Other than this, we be-
lieve, that the effort at discussion has
proved an abortive one, and the
writers were left to the fate of one
that beateth the air. Whether they
will, in the face of disappointment,
continue these efforts, they can best
judge. The editor of the Northern
Ohio Journal who, something like
a buckwheat kernel, has sharp
edge, or an Ishmaelitish disposition
to every one, gives vent to his So
vereign contempt that the journals
of this district do not take up the
glove that he and his co-laborers
have thrown down and ''pitch inn in
defense of Mr.. Garfield, and make
this discussion active and earnest.
We are quite willing, sir, to let your
impotent iibes, and thirst for news
paper fight, find their level together.
Mr.. Garfeld's position, We think, is
well enough without the strife his
enemies seek. The district is safe
abundantly safe. So gentlemen, you
can go your own gait. Your plots
are not of adequate thickness. Your
bait does not cover the hook. No
body is likely to be deceived by it
but those who do the angling. If
this state of things does not suit
the gentlemen alluded to, who can
help it? They can't, and we do not
wish to.

There are unmistakable signs of reVi-
val in manufacturing, financial and mer
camille affairs, but. it is too much TO ex-
pect that it will develop at once into an
overwhelming activity. There was a
long waiting on Congress to see to what
extent it would tinker with business in
terests, and now that ii has adjourned and
left matters pretty much as they we're,
with the certainty that as long as General
Grant is in the executive chair, the ten
dency must be towards the solid and en-
during basis of specie resumption, COM
merciaI men can lay their plans for the
future with a certain degree of confidence.
This is a great gain over the uncertainty
thai has prevailed since the September
panic setIn. The money article in the
Philadelphia Ledger, in speaking TO those
who look out for immediate activity and
prosperity in business, says:
Ii is not the right Stage of the season for
such manifestation, and if it came II
would not be sign of prosperous and
healthy growth The last nine or len
months of depression have not been al
season of disaster, but of healthy recuper-
alton. Liquidation, economy, disentan-
clement and all the painful processes
which lead to recovery, have marked tie
months that are past, but the exhibition
has not been without its encouraging fea
lures. Dunn, Barlow s. Co. S commercial
agency report says that during the past
six months the failures have been much
fewer IN numbers than in the average of
former years for the same period. There
is difference betAeen rest and mere
prostration. There ought 10 be a better
and more prosperous trade this coming
autumn than before for many seasons, and
there is not wanting indications that
there will he This is not lust vet the

II is reported says the N. Y. Tunes. that
the Secretary of the Treasury is not spe-
cIally pleased withthe resulfofthe exami-
nation which he has been able to give to
the Secret Service Bureau. In connec-
ton with the District safe burglary there
has been prosecuted some general inquiry
into the value and cost of the bureau.
The conclusion is that the Secret Service
is very expensive, and that its net results
are not large enough to warrant the cost.
1t is hardly fair TO jump at this verdict
without more evidence than has been
made public. Nevertheless. the weak
point about the whole case is that the
disbursements of the Secret Service, has
practically, no supervision. 1t cannot be
expected that the Secretary shall famil-
iarize himself with all the details of the
service and after the matter has passed
off his hands the responsibility disappears
among numerous subordinates.. There
is no detailed report of disburseme nts
and the temptation to extravaganza is
very great, to say the least. There is
growing popular distrust of all forms of
detective espionage in public affairs. an d
it is natural tnat the new Secretary should
look coldly on any plan to eontiue the
Secret Service Bureau, on its present ba-
sis of operations

HepubIican state central. Committee
Meeting.


The meeting of the Republican State
Central Committee held in Columbus on
Thursday last, was attended by a large
number of prominent gentlemen, among
whom were Ex Governor Noyes, Gen ].
A Garfield, Gsn. 1. Sherwood, and sena-
tor Cdrtiss, OF Cleveland. DR.. Coleman
of Miami, presided. Wednesday. the
second of September, was the time fixed
upon for holding the Republican State
Convention. A number of short speeches
on the issue aud prospects of the cam
naipn were made. The speech of
Senator Sherman, the first called upon,
expresses the general feeling of the con-
vention.
His remarks were hopeful for the
Republican party. He saw nothing
to discourage the party, but looked
upon the new constitution as the
only possible chance for complies
ton in the campaign. The new CON
stitution he regarded as an i'm
provement over the old, but thought
there were no party issues to be
found in it. The temperance ques-
ton might make trouble in the
adoption of the constitution, but
the general result would not be af-
fected and it seemed absurd to him
to make the temperance a political
issue. It ought to be left to the
General Assembly. Mr.. Sherman
said that the questions of the cam
paign would be national ones, and
that the election would turn on ma
tional issues. There would be TWEEN
ty Congressmen to elect this fall,
and the acts of the last Congress
wopId have much to do with it. His
policy was economy. The questions
must be met by the party as they
arise. and the past is not to be re-
lied upon. He thought it necessa-
~ to provide for a gradual but GER
tain resumption of specie payments,
and a gold and silver basis should
be settled upon. The currency
question seemed to him to be one of
the great issues and he approved
the action of Congresf on the sub
ject. The speaker claimed the adj
vantage on this question for the Re
pubIieans. The tariff question had
almost ceased to be political issue
and the Republican party had been
wise in its treatment of the subject.
The present tariff law was the best
thev ever had. Mr.. Sherman said
that there were no great overriding
issues at present, and only simple,
economic questions were now before
the people. Noyes, he said, in the
last campaign, had weighing on him
the injudicious action of Congress,
but the present Congress was judi
cious and fair, and the Republican
party had nothing to fear

How THEY Do THINGS IN WAR
REN.-The temperance people of
Warren, having secured the passage
of prohibitory ordinance, are de-
termined that its provisions shall not
be evaded by secret sales by way of
back door entrances and other
lodges peculiar to the trade. The
"Secret Committee" having reason
to believe that beer. was still kept on
draught by certain parties to quench
the thirst of the initiated, recently
engaged the services of a detective,
who took up his lodgings at the
house of a leading saloonist, and un-
der the guise of a jolly hummer, who
drank freely and treated generously,
he found his way into all the secrets
of the trade. There was no game OF
evasion of the ordinance that he was
not put in the possession of, and all
the mtrigues of the saloonists were
made known to him. After obtain
ing all the information desired, the
stranger appeared in his true colors
and made afidavits against num-
Der of saloon keepers, giving names
of witnesses taken down on the spot.
Two men have been convicted and
sentenced under the ordinance and
others are awaiting trial.
