The Indian Blankets.

WASHINGTON, September sO.-From the
statement of Commissioner Smith to the In
vestigatiag Committee, it appears that all
blankets furnished to Red Cloud and his
Indians were manufactured by John Dobson
of Philadelphia. They were marked indeli-
bly, U. I. I. D., SO that there is not a shadow
Of doubt that the blankets made by Dobson
were received by Red Cloud and his tribe
Professor Marsh himself speaks of the let
ters which he saw on the blankets. Com
missioner Smith says they are well known
standard Mackinaw blankets, heavy, warm
and serviceable for wear, and far better
article than moss American families can af-
ford for their own use. These are the iden-
tical blankets which Professor Marsh, las the
bearer of Red Clouds messages, showed
the President were not fit for horse blankets

A Mysterious shootin Case.

New YORK, Sept. 20.-Thomas Corrigan
: horse dealer was found lying in his sta
bles at 2140 Sixth Avenue this afternoon,
unscious, from bullet wound behind the
right ear. The physicians consider the
wound mortal. The case is mysterious
one. It is not known whether it will turn
out to be murder or suicide. One theory
is that Corrigan, who has been drinking
heavily committed the act while he was un-
der fit of delirium tremens. Another is
that he had quarrel with man yesterday
who returned to-day and shot him. Corri-
gan rallied little and gave the name and
address Of the man who he says fired the
shot at him. His recovery is very doubt
ful.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Sept. 20.-The
New Baunswick Z1mes has the following
particulars Of the Garland tragedy in East
New Brunswick : James Garland, Profess
sor of Music, has for some time past been
treating his wife and children in most
brutal manner. About week
ago she obtained a bill of separation.
This morning, however, the whole
family sat down to breakfast together for
the last time with intention Of parting in a
friendly manner, After breakfast Garland
came to- this place, but returned to East
New Brunswick, after few minutes, and shot
Mrs. Garland three times in quick success
sion. The first shot grazed her neck near
the jugular vein, the second entered her
mouth passing out through, her face
near the ear, and is believed broke
the jaw bone, The third shot pas
sed along the top Of her head, but
did not, penetrate the scull although it made
along and terrible cash in the scalp. She at
temped to defend herself with piece of
furniture, and it was probably owing to
this and the excited condition of her
would be murderer that the shots were not
more dangerous. She rushed past him into
the yard and fell senseless. He after dis
charging the three shots, rushed up stairs
and locked himself in room where he sat
down on bed and shot himself three times
in the head. He then took penknife and
cut the main arter in the left arm
breaking two blades of the knife, while do
ing so. Not satisfied with this he seized a
hammer and literally hammered his brains
out; horribly mashing his scull.
The latest reports from East New Bruins
wick say that Mrs. Garland's wounds are
not necessarily fatal and that Garland was
still breathing but could not recover.

The Mississippi Trouble.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-The following
text of the telegram from Governor Ame
to the Attorney General, relating to affairs
in Mississippi, was today made dublic:
JACKSON, Miss, Sept Attorney Gen.
eral Picrrepont, Washington, D. C.-The
necessity which called forth my dispatch Of
the Sth instant still exists. Your question
of yesterday, repeated to-day, asks for in.
formntion, which I gladly give.
The violence is incident to the political
contest preceding the pending election. Un-
fortunately, the question of race, which has
been prominent at the South since the war,
has assumed magnifed Importance at this
time in certain localities.
In fact, the race feeling is so intense that
protection for the colored people by white
organizations is despaired of. A political
contest, made on the "white line;" forbids
it. The history of the colored people since
reconstruction, and its bearing on the situa-
tion at this time, and a detailed statement
of the troubles here cannot be condensed in
telegram. This State has been opposed
to organizing militia of colored men. It
has been believed by them that itwould de-
velop war of races, which would extend
beyond the borders of this State. l
The organization of whites alene, where
the issue is one of race, would be equally
Intellectual. The most complete protection
would be found in the strict uon-interfer-
ence of the whites.
Contradictions will be numerous so they
were last December, but the report of the
Congressional Committee proved the cor
rect ness Of my assertions. am aware of
the reluctance of the people of the country
to habitual interference in State affairs,
though, if there be no violation of the law,
there can be no interference.
Permit me to express the hope that the
odium that such. inference brings shall not
attach to President Grant or the Republican
party. As the Governor of the State, I
made demand which cannot well be re- |
fused. Let the odium in all its magnitude |
descend upon me.
cannot escape the conscientious dis
charge of my duty towards class of Amer
lean citizens whose only defense consists in
their color and whom I am powerless to
protect. AEELBERT AAEs.
Attorney General Pierrepont says that the
letter to Governor Ames was ed to
show that Federal troops would not be
called out except in strict accordance with
the Constitution and the laws, after the
State had used it's own resources, but that
If the necessity was forced the Government
would indulge in no leniency towards the
disturbers of the public peace, Or murderers
If innocent men.

railway was submitted tothe directors atthe
meeting to-day In his report Sir Edward,
postpones the expression of an opinion as
to the future prospect of the company un-
til he has inspected the annual account. He
recommends the adoption of q uniform
guage over the entire road. He refrains
from giving any particulars asto the com
pany during the continuance of the present
hostile ligitation. The road with the existing
plan is in full average state of repair at
present, although one-tenth of the nominal
stock Of engines, and one-seventh of the
stock of cars are either useless OF missing,
In the present state of the companies credit
It seems to Sir Edward Watkin' that It
would be as impossible as unwise to en-
deavor to rise and remit more English capi-
tai as has been proposed. He recommended
the adoption of self redemption policy.
The Railroad Co. must pay its debts by
using that part of its next earning, which
the Courts permit to be applied to
that purpose. He shows that the
stockholders WILL have the courage
to submit to period of self-denial and con-
sent to pay the debts and essential obliga-
tions Of the road with the net profits the
bondholders receiving instead Of cash equita-
BILE obligations releasable out Of the surplus
revenue to accrue in the future as such
bondholders according to right and priority
may claim. He strongly recommended the
maintenance Of the receivership and urges
the bondholders to place the strictest reli-
ance upon the honor, anxious labors and full
experience of Mr.. Jewett. That gentleman
has accepted Mr.. Morris as his colleague
and as co-adviser of the companies counsel.
In the future the English Committee of
consultation will oversee the proceedings of
expenditures of the companies, and an Of
flee will be opened in London and monthly
statements issued there from showing the
actual earnings and expenses of the road.
The Bondholders are hereafter to have a
district representative in all Companies
votes. I'd
The report recommends the stockholders
to concentrate their powers of attorney and
proxies in the hands of chosen representa-
tives, Sir Edward Watkins or others. Both
Mr.. Jewet and Sir Edward Watkins have
agreed to the retention and judicious expen-
diture of the net earning for certain time,
as essential in the present condition of the
road. The London committee will desig-
nate special representative whose consent
is to be taken by Mr.. Jewett in the expendi-
ture of all monies from the net earnings.
The period of the retention of the net earn
fngs is not to exceed two years, commencing
June, 1875. Sir Edwards report further
expresses his belief that whatever course
The English and foreign bondholders may
decide to follow, twill be adopted also by
The American shareholders, they being gen.
,rally sensitive to the dishonor involved
With the past mismanagement of the COM
