The Massacre OF Clusters Commando
The Treasury Troubles.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch

WASHINGTON, d. c., July G.-No greater
sensation has occurred here for n long time
than the news printed this morning an
nouncing the destruction Of Clusters caval-
ry by the Indians. ...
The War Department was without advices
until late hour this afternoon, when dis
patches were received confirming the sad
story. The officers OF the regiment which
suffered so terribly were all well known
here. Army officers predict Il long and
amazing Indian war.
Full details of the action are anxiously
awaited. @ ....... ..-
AS yet the Treasury Department is with
out head, and, though Senator Nor
rill has informed the President that he will
accept, there is much complaint in Treasury
circles that he does not at once enter upon
the duties and not keep business backward
by his uncertainty as to the proper time to
enter upon the duties. TIMoN.

UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH
m. d. Conway in Cincinnati Commercial. J.
We have our centennial tableaus here in
London, too, and one Of them was got up
yesterday-a tableau in two parts and two
places, but corresponding to each other
Part first showed Father Hyacinthe, pre-
sided over and blessed by the Bishop OF
Winchester, giving particularly reactiona-
nv lecture, in which he defended the union
OF Church and State, his main point being
that the example OF America proved that if
they were separated the Church would wage
a sharper war than ever against modern so
ciety. And on the same day the same BlSh-
OH who pronounced his benediction on
these sentiments had the qualification OF
giving his presence and sympathy to
"a perfect confirmation OF the state
ments about America as any spiritual Lord
could have desired. This second part OF the
tableaux was arranged in the drawlng-room
Of the Earl and Countess Of Shrewsbury,
where, the Bishop of Tennessee entered
lpon his mission here of passing round the
hat for the benefit of g Church university
education in the ten southern States" BE-
sides the noble host and hostess there were
present Mrs. Manigault, Of South Carolina,
lady Susan Harcourt, three bishops, SIR II.
Philimore, several clergymen, and that Ia
NOUS defender OF the Cnurcu huu iLe Coti
federacy Mr.. Beresford-Hope. The meet
ing was appropriately opened WIN
prayer and d letter from Jeff. DAVIS
regretting that business matters IN Llv-
erpool prevented his being. PIeseh!. II
pleading for aid for religious educatlon t al al
the South, the Bishop Of Tennessee warned
his English aristocratic hearers that America
was going to rack aud ruin through secular
education, and he said with emphasis -. Ii
secular education is introduced into Eng
land, generation will not pass without wit VT.
Messing corruption in high places. Unless
something were done to sanctiiy education
in America, its civilization would be fal-
ure." After this, Beresford-H Hope SPOKE as
earnestly in favor OF aiding the Bishop OF
Tennessee in his crusade against reig1ous
liberty as he used to plead for ala to Jei.
