A Meeting Of the American Board
of Missions.

Hartford, October Sat a meeting
OF the American Board Of Missions to-day,
DR.. Smith, Of Dartmouth College, present.
ed the report on the organization Of n
board, recommending no change in its
charter, but certain minor changes under
its present charter. These were adopted.
They increase their membership 10 200
and apportion a large part Of the increase
to the West.
A paper on the Dakota Indians, which
held that the whole treatment Of the In
dians had been wrong, and urged the
breaking up OF tribal relations, provoked
debate.
Rev. Mr.. Marsh opposed It as being
contrary 10 the United States govern
ment.
Hon, W. E. Dodge upheld the paper
strongly.
DR.. Leonard Bacon made a long speech
in its defence, holding that for the gov
ernment to make n treaty with the In.
dians was as absurd as for Connecticut
and Massachusetts, to make treaty with
trampS. Abiding to General Custer's
death, he said Clusters policy was wrong
and his death was the result Of 1t. Gus.
Ter had been reported as saying thatthere
ought to be only one Indian war and then
no more Indians. 1t was this speech that
aCtuated him when he went TO mas
sacre and was massacreed. After fur.
ther debate the report was accepted, its
acceptance not signifying its adoption.
A report upon Japan was read. 1t
states that great progress has been made.

interesting statistics and introduced the
Japanese Minister OF Instruction, Tan.
aka, and his wife, Secretary Of Idema.

FOREIGN NEWS.
THE TURKIsH WAR.
The Powers Making Efforts to
Obtain an ArmfStice.

PARla October 5.-Priyate telegrams
received here state that the Powers are
now making great efforts to obtain an
armistice or at least a months time &C.
companied by various guarantees. It is
stated that the question OF q Congress is
not at present under discussion.
Tho Journal des DebdtS states that
Prince Gortschakoff has sent circular
to the Powers inviting them to impose
on the Porte general amnesty and six
month's armisticc.
PARIS, October 5.-Immediately upon
the assembling Of the Chambers, several
Radical Deputies will introduce fresh
proposals for general amnesty.
BELGRADE, October 5.-Eight thousand
Turks are advancing upon Negatin,
which place has been occupied by six
thousand Servians, with two batteries OF
artillery. r..'-
KokareiF, director Of the Russian
Valga Kama Bank, has informed the
Servian Government that It's last loan
has been fully subscribed for.
POSSIBLE DECLARATION OF WAR ny
RUSSIA.
LONDON, October 5,-The Vienna cor.
respondent Of the Standard states that
communications from Paris declare that
France will not participate in the naval
demonstration proposed by Russia, Aus
tria and England have declined the prop
ositIon OF intervention.
The Standards Belgrade telegram re-
ports that Gen. Tchernayef has sent to
Belgrade fifty prisoners who had mutt
lated their right hands in order to escape
military duty. They will be imprisoned
three years.
A special from Belgrade says it is ex-
pected that Russia will now present an
ultimatum to be followed by declaration
ofwar. Negotiations will probably pre-
cede such action ,as the treaty Of Paris bind
the signers in an event OF misunder-
standing, to give the powers an opportuni-
ty OF mediation.
A Belgrade special says that the Eng
lish policy is the leading factor in the
Seryian calculations. The war party
expect Russia to declare war, with the
approval Of England. This expectation
is founded on the sentiment OF the Eng
lish people, as gathered from the meet
ings held all over England.

Tho advance guard OF Baltimore roughs
passed. through here yesterday for India
anpolis, via the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. A small party went on the morn
ing train, but the larger portion left on
the $40 FIN. train. One canvas packed
with noted repeaters and roughs, though
in selecting themfrom the different wards
care was taken to accept for this party
only such as had been in the Union ser.
vice at some time. The character Of this
connection was, however, matter OF no
consequence, as,shoWn by the fact that
some notorious bounty jumpers were ac-
cepted, and one who had deserted the
Union service and entered the Confeder-
ate army joined the excursion. Thomas
Hagan and Thomas Hogan, who were
leaders in the late Baltimore riot, accom-.
pany the party. Among Others OF his
calling in the party is Asa @. Williams, Of
the Sixth Ward, we'll known as lead
ing spirit in repeating atPhiladelphia in
1868.
The names OF all were obtained here
last night, and were forwarded to proper
persons in the West, in order that they
may be arrested II they remain and at
tempt to vote or to create disturbance
during the approaching election.
To prevent the entire failure Of the
plot on account Of exposure which have
been made, a party has been formed Of
those who will go out and return togeth-
er, and, on the return, an attempt will be
made to create the impression that all
have come back, and that statements OF
any attempt to import roughs and repeat
ers into Indiana was wholly false. But
those who have been working for the past
week % discover what was really going
on have ascertained that this return Of
part of the organization is to be only Q
hblind !" and that a large number are 10
stay and, work at their peculiar tactics
until after the election.
Five noted characters started Monday
night for the ranch Of Samuel Mcdonald,
near Terre Haute. This ranch bears the
align reading, welcome to Rowdy HALL =
Several other roughs will start for that
destination to-day. From all informa-
tion collected by Republicans in Balti-
more yesterday, the place near Terre
Haute is agreed upon as one Of the rem
devious from the east.
A quiet inspection Of Western bound
trains here yesterday by those who have
had experience in watching the opera
, tions OF these Baltimore .roughs and re.

The fact that, under cover Of coming to
the convention Of "Boys Who Wore the
Blue" heavy deportation OF the worst
elements Of Baltimore is being precipitat-
ed upon Indiana.

Special Dispatch to the IntellIgeneer.
A persistent attempt is being made to
iasten upon Gov. Hayes a falaehood to
the effect that he Is member Of the Amer.
ican Alliance, or is in sympathy with
some doctrine which proscribes foreign
ers. Certain papers Of to-day charge
that special committee Of the Alliance
waited on the Governor at the Continent
al Hotel in Philadelphia on the 9th Of
July last, to notify him Of his nomina-
tion by this Alliance as their choice for
President, and that the Governor accepted
their nomination. This is q falsehood.
No such committee waited on the Cover
moi. during his stay in Philadelphia, and
he left that city on the evening OF the
9th for his home at this place. It is
further charged that another committee
of the same organization waited on Gov.
Hayes here on the 9th Of July,with copy
Of the platform, oath and other papers con-
nected with their organization. This too
is false. No such committee ever waited
on the G Goyernor here or elsewhere. These
denials are made on authority. 7
All there Is Of this business is simply
this: About July 9th letter was re-
ceived here containing printed copy Of
some resolutions adopted by the Alliance
at a special conference OF their Associa-
tion. They we're published in the East.

secretary was simply polite acknowl
edgement Of their endorsement Of Hayes

what he had written to Irish and German
clubs; and other political organizations
in various parts Of the country who have
been pleased to communicate their en-
dorsement Of Hayes and Wheeler. These
letters Of. acknowledgment were al
written by Secretary Lee on his own re

with Governor Hayes, as was the cast
