The President to Emperor William.

~~~~@>~~-~ ~
The following is the full text of the
presidents reply to the emperor of Germany's
letter OF congratulatlon on the occasion OF the
centenary OF American independence:
Great and Good Friend: Your letter OF
June 9th, III which you were pleased to offer
your cordial congratulations upon the occa-
sion Of the Centennial and anniversary which
We recently celebrated, was placed in my
hands on the 4th OF July, and its contents
were, perused with unfaigned satisfaction
Such expressions of sympathy for the past
progress Of this country, and of good wishes
for its further welfare as are contained in that
communication, are more gratifying because
they proceed from the head of great empire
with which this republic, during the whole
century OF it's existence, has retained rela-
tions OF peace and, friendship which have
become continually tirmer with the increasing
progress and prosperity Of both countries.
1t is my sincere desire that this mutual cor
diality and this prosperity, which has been
the lot OF the two countries during the first
century OF our independence. may be vouch-
sated during the century which is to come.
Wishing youa long reign Of health and
your majesty in His safe and holy keeping.
U. 5. GRANT. President.

Fighting for the Flag.

Perhaps one of the bitterest regrets
the officers and men of the Seventh
Cavalry will have for the unfortunate
battle Of the Little Big Horn, will be
the loss of. their standards. General
Custer carried with him into action on
that occasion, not only his own divis-
ion flag, but the regimental standard,
both of which were captured by the
Indians. In addition to the division
and regimental flags, Custer lost
five guidons carried by the five
companies that were with him. Colo.
mel Reno on his field lost three of the
seven guidOns carried into battle.
Of the fighting around Clusters flags,
nothing is known. but the battle on
Reno's side ragged hardest whenever
the smaller tailed flags appeared.
Again and again the color.sergrants
were shot down, and their places i'm
mediately filled by others. About one
flag three men were killed and wound
ed, but it was ut last borne off the field
in safety. Lieutenant De Rudio, sec
ing a troop-flag fall. dismountcd and
picked it up, and carried it away
through volleys from the Indian line !;
but he afterwards lost it in the timber,
where it became entangled in the
branches of tree, and before he could
loosen it the Indians charged and cap
tured it. For this battle of the Little
Big Horn, the Indians have no less
than ten of our battle-fags to show as
an evidence of their bravery and PROV
eSS.

When placed on the scaffold and asked if he
had anything to say, he answered, az have"
and called for B. F. Webster, who appeared
and listened attentively to Eighmey, who
said: ''Mr. Webster, and fellow citizens of
Ontario county: The people have to look to

The Indian Commission Talks Turkey ut
Rcd Cloud.
The Indian commission met the
head men of the various Sioux tribes at Red
Clouds agency on the 9th, and held grand
pow-wow, at which the commissioners, after
prayer by Bishop Whlpple, laid down a
platform upon which the Indians were told
they must stand hereafter. First, they must
give up the Black Hills; second, they must
not interfere with white folks movements on
the plains; third, all rations given them
shall be issued according to the Presidents
order; fourth, the removal OF the Indians to
the Indian territory must take place, that
Indians there may learn to live as whites,
and they may select five from each band to
go there on an inspecting tour if the Indians
agree to this the government shall do all in
its power to assist them in assuming civiliza-
ton.

Condition OF the General Markets.


There has been very little change in
the wheat market since our last In Europe
prices have materially strengthened, but
western operators claim to be paying more
than the foreign demand warrants. A Mil
waukee dealer says: Notwithstanding the
very unpromising appearance Of the crop il
April and May, the splendid summer and glo.
rious harvest weather We have enjoyed have
had marvellous effect on the result, and the
wheat is very much better than we had at any
time any reason to expect" but the facts seen
to be, he says, 'stated shortly, we may take
it as the fair conclusion that the wheat cro1
is considerably below an average, that The
barley crop is hardly an average, that the oat:
crop is generally poor one, that the pc:
crop is unusually good, and that the bear
crop is also apoor one.'
A Chicago authority says: According to
circular published by J. z. Werst, a commits
sion merchant on 'Change, the highest price
realized in this market on the last crop O
wheat was in September, 1876, when 81. Is
was paid, and the lowest in July, 1876, when
sac was touched. The average price OF the
average price was 96c on that Of 1873, 81.l4
on that Of 1872, Sl.19, and on that Of 1871
sl.l9. The average price Oh the crops OF five
years, including 1871, 2, 3, y and ., was
Since August, 1866, the highest price quoted
in this city, according to Mr.. Werst, was in
May, 1867, when the market touched S276
and the lowest in April, 1863, when the quo:
tations dropped to &c."
Demands for milling purposes, though moi
steady nor extensive, put the Minneapolis and
st. Paul prices at 95c for No. ], and No. 2

Instructions Of U. 8. Marsllals for the Conf
ing Elections.
The Attorney General has issued IN
structions to United States Marshals, tor
their direction in preserving the rights t
citizens at the coming general election. He
says: In elections at which men,
bers of the House OF Representatives are
chosen, which, by law, include elections at
which electors for President and Vice Presi-
dent are appointed, the United States secure
voters against whatever in general binders
or prevents Thorn from tie full exercise o:
the elective franchise, extending that care to
registration lists, the act OF voting, and the
personal freedom and security OF the voter,
as we'll as against violence on account Of any
vote he may intend to give, rs against con-
spiracy because OF any vote he may have al
ready given. The peace Of the United States,
therefore, which you are to preserve, and
whose violation you are to suppress, protects
among others the rights specified IN the last
paragraph, and any person who by force vio-
lat these rights breaks that peace, and rem
ders it your duty to arrest him and suppress
any riots incident thereto, or that threaten

AS chief executive officer OF the United States
in your districts you will be held responsible
or all breeches Of the peace of the United
States where diligence on your part might
have prevented, and for the arrest and Sc
curing OF all persons who violate the peace in
any Of the points above enunciated.
SIN this connection advise that you and
each Of your deputies, general and special,
have right to summon to your assistance in
preventing and quelling disorder every per-
son in the district above fifteen years Of age,
whatever may be their occupation, whether
civilians or not, and including the military
OF all denominations militia, soldiers or ma
rines-all of which are alike bound to obey
you. The TACT that there organized military
bodies, whether Of State or United States,
under the immediate command of their own
officers, does not in any wise affect their legal
character as posse comitatus. l prefer to
quote the above statement OF the law upon
this point from an opinion by my predecessor
ex-Attorney General Cushing, because it thus
appears to have been we'll settled for ,naay
years.

FROM tn6 OenVer NeW5.l
Here's chance Tor John Hay, the au-
thor Of 'Jim Bludsoe," to try himself.
Last Friday, when the Floyd Hill and
Georgetown coach, with six powerful
horses, had stopped at Fall River, the
driver got down Tor some purpose, leav-
ing an invalid on the box to hold the
reIns. During the absence Of the driver
the horses starred on runaway expe-
dition, and the man on the box was too
weak to hold them. The coach was
filed with men, women and children,
and the frantic beasts dashed along
through the canyon with such desperate
speed that every cheek was bianched
with the fear OF destruction that seemed
80 imminent. In all this danger, though,
there came hero.
d. M. McCurdy, who is commercial
traveller for j. A. Cooper & Co., manu-
lecturers and wholesale dealers in boots
and shoes at Kansas City, was in the
coach, and he clambered out through
one of its narrow windows and gained
the box and the lines, while the now
thoroughly terrified horses were fairly
flying over the fearful road, bounded
with awful declivlties and jutting rocks.
Seizing the reins and bending against
them with all the strength Of his arms,
and forcing an almost superhumAr
weight upon the brake, he checked the
maddened steeds in their Nila career
just on the edge Of precipice that
would have been the end Of all the crew
of the coach. had It gone over, That's
all
