sci. has served notice upon the attorneys
OF Mr.. Beecher to be ready to answer in
a new trial on the first Monday in Sep
tcnbcr. He SAYS he has discovered new

Moody and Sankey will be invited TO
reform Washington. Resolutions to that
effect have been adopted. Rev. j. Z.
Newman was one Of the committee Of

that the revivalists show up the
i'm Of travelling around the word at

A CONVENTION of tho colorcd people
Of Indiana has been called to meet in In

OLD-FAsHIoNED "deyilmg' of new ca
diets has met with severe rebuff ut
West Point. Three of the old cadets at-
tempted this on raw recruit while on

II /, strange that Senator johnson 5
lifelong enemy and rival, old BrownIow'
should have survived him. But he has
and although - poor old palsied nun. he
still shows that his nature has 10y no
means lost i, venom. Lately hr Said IN
hls paper that the best act OF III" three

adjourned >irs die. An Editor replied
thyt IN, best act of Brownlow'S life
would he when he adjourned sine dc.
Whcreupon the paper called him n shall

Ir now turns out that the charges o.
Professor Marsh against the Interior De-
par,ment for lis Indian frauds are not
entirely new. The only trouble is that
all thi, time they have been concealed
from the public. The Chicago I'7''0'e
says:
a report prepared and submitted by
Samuel Walker, member OF the lndiah
Commission in 1878, has never been
made public until new. Its charges OF
false weights, fraudulent returns, lnte-
rior quality OF supplies etc are fully aS
explicit MS those made by Prof. Marsh,
and the fact that AN investigation was
not sooner ordered suggests the inference
that the Walker report would have never
seen daylight but for the persistency Of
Prof. Marsh in making known the result
of his observations nj Red Clouds
agency.
