THE BOARD OF UNDERWRITERS ON
SHERIDAN'S DISPATCH.

The following resolutions, coming as they
do from such an influential body, will have
great weight at the North. We publish them
in full:
At special meeting Of the Board of Un-
derwriters, held this day, the following re-
port Of their committee was unanimously
adopted:
RESOLVED, That this Board has read With
feelings of the deepest sorrow and mortifca-
ton the published insane dispatch Of Gen.
2. H. Sheridan to the Hon. the Secretary Of
War, under date of 4th inst.
That We esteem it wanton, gross and I'M
justinable wrong and libel upon the fair fame
Of every citizen Of our State and city
That this board, being established for
purely commercial purposes, no political
question has ever been discussed or proposed;
but in view of the criminal outrage upon tho
best interests of our city, by . stranger in
power, not only warrants, but de-
mands from us this expression of our un-
qualified denial of these vile aspersions upon
our citizens.
That We give our assurance to our brother
Underwriters at the North and West that We
claim to be true aud loyal citizens of the
United States, and as such we are law
loving and law-abiding people, and that life
and property AREAS safe with us as with them,
for the truth Of which we confidently appeal
to the noble Fanny of Knights Templar from
every State in this Union, who recently Wis
tied our CITY.
That We cannot but express our surprise
that any one occupying tho position of Gen.
Sheridan should presume to such knowledge
of his (alleged) important facts-upon such
brief opportunities as he possibly could have
during the short time he has been in the South
and the only excuse we find for such utter
ances, is the suggestion that comes to US this
morning from New York, that this dispatch
was written in Washington and sent to Gen.
Sheridan before he left his Northern conn
mand.
That We earnestlys appeal to our Northern
brethren, TO the Congress of the United
States, to their love of liberty and justice, to
afford MS that protection from this present
and from this wrong and outrage
which may follow, which as fellow-citizens Of
this great country we have . right to demand.
That We cordially indorse the manly and
patriotic expressions of the Cotton Exchange
ct their last meeting.
Voted that copies of these resolutions b
sent to every Board of Underwriters in the
United States, to the city papers. to the agent
of the Associated Press, and one to be hand
ed to the Congressional Committee now in tia
city. THos. A. ADAMS, President

ROTUNDA GOSSIP.

The rotunda of the st. Charles Hotel pre-
sentsd an animated appearance last night, .
large number Of citizens having congregated
there to discuss the news and await possible
Developments. The possible appearance Of
Sheridan was also an inducement, for it must
be admitted that the little General has COW
cred himself with an unenviable notoriety.
The hero of the Piegan massacre failed
however, to show himself, and it was vulgar
ly limited by some that he was incapacitated
therefrom by having been an ardent and per-
sistent worshiper at Bacchus's shrine.
1t was rumored that Gen. Ogden was in the
rotunda in order to be on hand to deliver him.
self up for arrest but inquiry elected the
fact that the General did not come down town
at all last night
It was also reported that Sheridan had re-
ceived orders not to make any arrests, the
Cabinet at Washington after an earnest debate
having countermanded its arbitrary instruc-
tons. This result being brought about,
doubtless, by the general outcry of the peo-
pie of the United States against Sheridan's
treatment of the people of Louisiana.
Gen. Hugh ]. Campbell and Col. Lowell
walked carelessly about the rotunda without
intimidation, and, as far as could be ascer-
tained, the bandith made no idle threats OF
assassination" The army officers who gener-
ally frequent St. Charles Hotel were all abb
sent: the reason was found to be that Sheridan
had ordered them to remain at their respec-
tive quarters.

MURDER.


Yesterday afternoon, at half-past 2 o'clock.
an alteration occurred at the corner or
Tchoupitoulas and Thalia streets, between
two colored men named Jerry Dixon and
Isham Randall which terminated in Randall
drawing his pocket-knife and plunging it into
the left thigh of his antagonist, cutting tho
artery and causing death in about ten min
utes. The moment the man was stuck he
fell to the ground.
Two of his friends, who were walking ON
the opposite side of the street, crossed over
and moved him to his room, ON the second
floor OF the house at the corner of Tchoupi-
toulss and Thalia streets, where he expired in
about ten minutes, and before the arrival Of
a physician, who might possibly have saved
his life, had he arrived two minutes sooner.
Randall attempted to make his escape, but
was finally captured by two citizens at the
corner of Erato and Tchoupitoulas streets and
was confined in the Second precinct station,
where he tried to break ont last evening by
prying open board in the rear of his cell,
but was fortunately, however, detected by
Capt. Robinson, who barred him down for tho
night.
Several witnesses were near at hand when
the deed was perpetrated, and not one could
account for the stabbing, which was done
without moments warning. Coroner Chss.
tant :impaneled jury and adjourned the
inquest until Friday at II o'clock.
Dixon, the deceased, is about thirty-eight
years of age, native Of Pennsylvania, and
leaves wife and several children.

An American in Egypt.

Col. Long, the American who
has been engaged, under the
Khedive of Egypt, in exploring
Central Africa, for one and half
years past, has written to his faith
er All account of his brilliant
campaign against the savages,
and his intentions for the immedi-
ate future. His success appears
to have been greater than was at
first reported. Although he had
to fight with an exceedingly war
like tribe, and to brave the dan.
ger of death from poisoned arrows,
his troops did not finch, nor was
their march ever seriously imped-
ed. On his arrival at LedO, re-
turning to Cairo, he received a
decoration of the third class Of
Mejidieh and the firman of the
grade of Colonel. The KhediVe
forwarded these marks of distinc-
ton with personal letter of fell
citation. Colonel Long expects to
make his future residence in Cairo.
He will first, however, travel Ov-
er Europe on official business; and
he hopes to be sent to America,
where, no doubt, he would re-
ceive welcome worthy of his
fame. Colonel Long actually car
ried to the Khedive one of the
LiIiputian race, whose existence
had previously been established
on the testimony of several Afri-
can explorers, but none of whom,
we believe, had before this time
been seen within the limits of
civilization.

Siam at the Centennial.

His Majesty the King of Siam,
having accepted the invitation of
the United States Government to
take part in the International Elk
hibitiOn at Philadelphia next year
has appointed J. HI. Chandler,
Esq. as Royal Commissioner. Mr..
Chandler is native of Pomfret,
Conn. He has resided in Siam
about thirty two years past, and
is well acquainted with the pro-
auctions and resources of the
country. His early labOr5 in that
country we're devoted to type
founding, printing, and the in
PRODUCTION of various improve
ments. He has the honor of hav-
ing introduced steamboats,, and
also steam machinery for manu-
featuring purposes, besides nu-
merOus labor saving machines to
facilitate and improve the me-
chanical arts. Nearly all the
early improvements which have
done so much for the country
were introduced by him. For the
last twelve years or so, he had
devoted himself mainly to the
language, teaching, etc, and has
for a long time held the position
of chief government translator in
the foreign office He was tutor
to His Majesty before his first
coronation. With Mr.. Chandler
for ommissioner, and the readi-
ness with which the King and
his ministers have entered upon
the work of preparing and for
warding the productions of the
country, it may be expected that
the kingdom of Siam will make

doubtless caused by imbibing a
very large amount of very bad
whisky. Suspicious are strong OF

or after death, and valuable ring

GUAYMAs, June I'd, 1875.
EDIfoR ALTA: The steamer
NeU6ern will convey to you the
sad news that the state of Sonora
is again at the eve Of political
troubles. AS the present Cover
nor, Ignacio Pesqueira, can not be
elected again, having held his
office for the last eighteen years,
and not wishing to leave such a
good place, he put his cousin [. l.
Pesqueira, up to run for Governor,
so that if elected, IgnaciO Pes
queira will be the Governor in
reality.
The opposition Governor is
General Garcia Morales, a man
very much respected. and as his
party is gaining ground daily. the
Pesqueira followers become des-
perate. During the last eight
days, Governor Pesqueira has
been staying in Hermosiflo, spend
ing money. which he took out of
the public offices, freely, and say
ing that if he should not be elect
ed he would be Governor anyhow,

MINES IN LOWER CALIFORNIA.
From Lower California the news
is most promising. The mines
take more and more extension,
and it is calculated that the export
of copper ore from the district
north of Mulege will this year
not be short of ten thousand tons.
In the RefOrma Mine the work is
also progressing favOrably. They
will now commence to make re-
gular shipments of ore by steam
er to San Francisco, and will then
be able to pay dividends.
In Mulege itself there are about
as many Government officials as
inhabitants, about whom [ will
write you in my next letter.

A Brownsville special says that
General Steele and Dryer have
left for Rio Grande City. Captain
McNeilly and part of his COM
pany are below watching for the
raiders now on this side. Mexi-
cans report the crossing of sixty
beeves below here on Wednesday.
General Cortina is shipping them
to Cuba. Many of the beeves
have American brands. The men
assisting in the shipping say the
beeves were stolen from Texas.
About 100000 pounds of dried beef
are ready for shipment. It is un-
doubtedly American, AS the Next
cans do not raise half enough beef
to supply their own market. Sun
day morning General Cortina left
Bagdad with seventy-five men.
Above here the cattle-SteaIing is
terrible. Oxen are driven OF IL
most daily. 1t is reported that
General COrtina's resignation has
been accepted. General Steele
gave order for rangers not to cross
the Rio Grande, on account of the
exasperated feeling of the Next
cans, and the danger that they
would lay waste the country be-
tween Neuces and the Rio Grande
before a force could be sent there
to check them. The war feeling
is strong on the Mexican side.
