converted to Christianity and had

low Celestials at enmity with him,

He seemed very miserable and de-

things about him was that he spoke
only Spanish, not knowing word of
English. Those who conversed with
him said that he spoke Spanish quite
fuently. He said that he formerly
worked in Anaheim and Chino, that
he had been very lily treated and
wished he were dead. The mans APP

him, strung on pole, all of his earth

THE DELAY IN ACCEPTING HIS REsIuNA
TIoN DESIGNED TO PREVENT AN EN-
LtsH PROSECUTION
WASHINGTON, March G.-GeneraI
Schenck's resignation has been in the
hands OF the President for some time.
PROBABLY since early last month. There
can be no doubt that its acceptance
was determined upon by Gen. Grant
several weeks ago, but Gen'l Scbenck
was not at that time quite ready to
leave London, and had his resignation
been formally accepted while he re-
mained there, he might not have been
allowed to leave when he did get ready.
Had he at any time for nearly two
months past been plain Gen. Schenck,
unprotected by the ex-territorial char~
acter OF foreign ambassador, the writ
which the new Chairman of the Emma
Mine Company, McDougal, had caused
10 De Issued could have been served on
him, IL looks, therefore, land this is
the ugly feature of the case that has
been widely commented on today in
Washingtonl, as though the President
| had purposely withheld his acceptance
OF Gen. Schenck's resignation until he
was beyond the jurisdiction of the
British Courts, in order to defeat the
ends OF Justice. Only last Friday an
attempt was made in London to serve
this writ OIL Gen. Schenck; but the
moment he is beyond the reach of
British officers the President does not
lose an hour to remove frem him the
protection which the American flag
gave to him as an ambassador. To use
the words of leading Republican, in
conversation today at looks too much
as though the President had placed
himself between Schonck and the En-
glish prosecution"

In times past il was thought immodest to
proclaim the excellence OF ones roods, or to
solicit patronage for them in Newspapers.
Daring the = asst twenty-five years through
the immense competition in trade, 1t has be-
come necessity. The public are always
anxious to learn OF progress, but arc equally
desirous to avoid all frauds, Rs they have
become skeptical of an article possessing
genuine nj crit and are particularly preju-
diced against sterling announcements OF
some new and wonderful medine without
character or worth. Still the public are
grateful TO manufacturers or inventors OF ar.
ticles OF merit, even il known as medicines !;
many of them are the result OF years Of care
ful study by our most eminent chemists and
physicians, and embrace such principles and
productions as Qulnine, Chlorotorm, Chlortl
Hydrate, Porous plasterB, nc.
Success in advertising depends much upon
the intrinsic worth of the article it elf even
though it be medical preparation AS an
evidence Of this, celebrated physician OF
New York made great Improvement in Por.
Gus Plasters by adding CAPCINE on account
Of its giving increased effect and quicker re
lief and cure than any known mediclcal

fearing his reputation would be injured. A

learning of this decided improvement. made
an arrangement with this physician and com
menced advertising in the best news papers

A Witness Cautureu.

Sr. Louis, March GA young man
named j. A. Brown was arrested here
Saturday night on advices from Wash
to hold him as a witness till called for
by the committee on investigation of
the War Department. He was put in
a calaboose under misapprehension of
the order frem Washington, but was
released yesterday, and will hold him
self ready to answer summons from
the committee. 1t appears that Brown
was clerk few years ago for Evans &
Smith, subsequently Evans & Co., at
Cheyenne agency, in Indian Territory,
and knows a good deal about the bust
ness.
He says Evans S Smith paid $4,000
annually for the Cheyenne agency, and
Evans & Co. $4,000 for Fort Sill. He
corroborated the reports regarding Or
vile Grants connection with Belknap,
and says Evans 81 Smith obtained the
Cheyenne agency from Grant; that
Grant represented Belknap in the dis
position of suttlerships, and when he
could not get his price for them he
would stock them with goods and run
business himself
He kept himself thoroughly posted
regarding the business done at the va
rious posts, and no trader could de-
ceive him by misrepresentation. He
always knew, therefore, the exact val
ue of each post, and made suffers come
to his terms. Brown says he knows
several persons who could give valu-
able information regarding post trader
ships, and would be willing to do 50

HORRIBLE MURDER IN VIRGINIA

HORRIBLE MURDER IN VIRGINIA.
A Ficndish murder was perpetrated in
James City county, Va, Saturday, Feb.
90, the victim being Henry Jones, ESQ,
of York county. 1t appeared that he
had two gangs of laborers cutting
wood for him, and it was his custom
to pay them on every Saturday. He
started with a considerable sum of
money en- his person, to pay off one
party of laborers, and not returning,
the ether party became impatient, and
went in quest of him. Upon arriving
at the place, Mr.. Jones' body was
found lying on the ground, partially
covered with leaves. The head and
arms had been chopped from the trunk
and the fieuds had robbed him of all
the funds he had about him. An alarm
was at once given and a party organ-
ized, who succeeded in capturing Z
of the eight criminals, and they are
now safely lodged In Jail awaiting the
punishment they so richly merit.
The daily gazette., 1876-03-08
The Rotten system of Trade RS.

We agree with the Philadelphia
Times that Belknap's impeachment
should be the beginning of thorough
reform in the whole rotten system of
monopoly traders at military posts in
the Indian country. There is no good
reason why any one man or firm should
be given the sole right to sell goods to
the soldiers banished to distant post,
and thus be enabled to charge them
extortionate prices for such articles as
they cannot obtain from their commits
sary, and must therefore buy or go
without. The still more lucrative right
of trading with tho Indians at these
posts ought not to be parceled out to
faverites or to the highest bidders as
monopoly privileges. AS the Times
truly remarks, the effect is that public
officers are corrupted, and both the
Indians and soldiers are robbed out
rageously. The Indian may not sell
his buffalo skins to anybody except
the licensed trader, and must, IN con
sequence, virtually give them away,
while the calicos and trinkets he buys
are charged to him at six or ten times
their price in the East. This is mon.
strous wrong, for which there is no ex-
cuse except that it is a convenient way
to provide fer favorites, and to supply
the wives of conniving officials with
abundant pin money. Let the whole
system be abolished and trading every
where be thrown open to the fullest
competition.

of the Gazettee called upon him this
evening.
A conversation ensued substantially
as follows: "Please state the circum-

some hesitation-'I don't think the
