Col. John s. Mosby, who commanded the notorious band of Confederate outlaws in Virginia during the war, having been ac- cused of receiving office at the hands of General Grant, has written the following letter, indignantly denying the imputation ::

 Cor. JAS. B. O'NEAL-DeGr Sw: I have just received your letter of the 30th ult, in forming me that Democratic orator in Philadelphia had stated that Gen. Grant had appointed me to some office. am glad that you denounce the statement as it is lie. It originated with the Tilden Bureau, and it was pronounced by me to be false in a letter published several weeks ago. They still continue to circulate this with othe- lies about me. have never received in any shape the slightest favor Or benefit of any kind from Gen. ants administration, al- though l was hi' cordial supporter. The few ConfederateS he has appoiltad to o.fi,a in the $ iuth were as loyal to the Govern ment during the war as Tilden. and are much more so now. 1 am unable to ac- count for the ferocity with which have been pursued by the Tilden organs, unes, it be that they think their candidate h1s 6 claim upon me for my support on account of the m essage' of sympathy and cheer re- ceived from him during that unhlppy pc riod when l WIS fighting tp overthrow tn Governm ant of th- United States.

THE INDIAN CAMPAIGN.

The news from the Indian country con-
tains nothing definite of any engagement,
between the white troops and the Indians,
although, vague rumors have been circu-
lated that Gen. Crook had encountered
Sitting Bull, and the great Indian Napo-
leon, as he is styled by some, had defeated
him. These rumors lack confirmation, al
though from the situation Of the armies at
the present time there is prospect for the
clashing Of arms at any hour. The tele.
grams from the Indian country indicate
that there is an advance along the whole
line, and that the Indians occupy posi-
ton between the commands of Gen. Crook
and Gen. Terry. Both ofthese will at a
certain time reckoned by calculation,
flank Sitting Bull, or nearly surround him,
and unless he surrenders, give him battle.
The army that will be brought to bear
against him, will be about four thousand
men, who are in good fighting condition
and we'll oficered.
1t is generally believed by army officers
from fragments of information they have
gained of Sitting Bull through the Scouts,
that he is in desperate situation. Along
his line of march the skeletons of dogs
have been found with the meat all picked
from them. His supply Of ammunition must
be nearly exhausted as every precaution
has been taken at the different agencies Ia
prevent supply to any Indian or white
man that could convey it to him. The In
dians have been burning the grass to des-
troy pasturage for the horses, but 1t is
thought that this will not retard the pro-

THE STREET COMMITTEE,

1t would be utterly impossible for a
Democratic member Of Council to give
satisfaction to conferee who is of differ
ent thought in political sentiment, ,and more
especially as we are approaching a city
election, in which the ingenuities of the
Republican party will be taxed to make a
respectable opposition to the Democracy
We cannot for an instant make anything
else out of the sudden spurt of attempted
reformatory ideas in Council on Thursday,
but an electioneering dodge for the Repub-
lican party. If all jobs Of work over fifty
dollars must be done by contract, it proves
nothing that requires such an emphasis Of
language and strengtl Of passion as to
withdraw from the committee. The value
Of Mr.. Candy as private citizen is recog.
nized, but that he should be so hasty, be.
cause he could not control the Street CouI-
mittee is a matter OF eurprise to many.
The position that Mr.. McMenamin was
placed in by this sudden attack, was dis.
advantage to him, lacking in Auency o.
speech; and we have not the least doubt
that he will be able to thoroughly explain
his conduct az Chaiaman of the Street
Committee. If the matter is sifted thor
oughly it will be found that the disturb
ance of Thursday night was occasioned fo1
political effect in the approaching city elec
ton. And if the search goes back fal
enough, we are Of impression, it will b.
found that under the "regime" of ole
Council, there were some hundred dolla1
Jobs not done bv contract.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION

The call of the Chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee for the
State Convention on the 9th of September
has been countermanded, and he has
named the 9TH of September in its stead.
The fifth day ofthe month is the one upon
which the election takes place, and hence
the change in time.
The Congressional nomination will then
be made; and SO far as known there will
be no opposition to the present incumbent,
Mr.. Williams, who will be rendered the
nomination for second time, according to
custom. There was rumor upon the
streets yesterday, and among gentlemen Of
political knowledge, that an opposition
would be arranged before the day Of the
convention, and that it would be Mr..
Chas. B. Lore, but we understand that
there is no foundation for this, as Mr.. Lore
has no idea of allowing his name to be
used. And Sussex having no candidate in
the field, the path will be open and unen--

THE FIRsT THREE MONTHS.

Thursday ended the first three months
or just half the term Of the great 1nterna'
tional show. What the exhibition has &C.
complished, is salutary of its success. As
we are aware there are few errors in its
history, which we are glad to see expert
ence has corrected, that without which, the
exhibition might not have been SO prosper
GUS financially as it has,. One of these
errors was stated in these columns by a
correspondent net long since: that hous-
ands of dollars had been lost to to the great
show by not admitting children and ex-
cursions at reduced rates sooner. These
things have been oyersights, and errors
committed from lack Of experience, that
the. remedy could not have been applied to
too soon.
But even with the embarrassment
of such enervating influences as
these the great exhibition may
be termed a success. It's cash ad-
missions for three months at fifty cents a
head has footed up nearly two million per
sons, and during the short time Of twenty
five cent admissions there have been a
thousand and more of this class. The
management have regarded it more in
broad general way than by taking it in de-
tail and giving it thorough business con-
sideration.
The first month of the exhibition was
one that placed it before the throngs who
visited it in an incomplete state. This was
appreciated by the public, and evidenced
by the increase of visitors since May,
which was the opening month. That
month the admissions did not quite reach
four hundred thousand. In the next
month they were nearly seven hundred
thousand, while the next month that Of
July, they fell off few thousand, owing
to the excessive heat, but this month al
though not half exhausted they have
reached nearly two hundred thousand.
The show is now complete, and the
large numbers who remained away owing
to its incompletion are beginning to arrive,
and there is every reason to believe that
the last three months will be the most
prosperous of the exhibition.

RANDALL'o OD0TIUACY.

1AMDALL's oDoTI1ACY.
Mr.. Randalps obstinacy, ~ a member Of
of the Conference Committee on the execu.
utive, legislative and judicial appropria,
ton bill, is neither wise or Statesmanlike.
The Conference Committee has been tinker
| ing at this one bill since early in July,
and in it is the reduction of the Presi
dents salary and the members Of both
Houses of Congress. Four committees
have been appointed in this matter, and it
may very properly be regarded as one Of
the chief causes why this Congress has not
adjourned. Mr.. Randall is the only recall
citrant upor the committee, and it is there
fore attributable to him that these hot days
both Honses are in session.
Viewed in whatever lightit may be, this
attempt to reduce the Presidents salary
and that of the members is nothing more
than species Of demagoguery, taken ad-
vantage Of, in general retrenchment, for
political advertisement. The remarks Of
Mr.. Bayard upon the subject are very ap-
propriate, and we append them:
Mr. Bayard, member Of the Confer
ence Committee, also spoke Of the efforts
Of the committee to agree upon the bill,
and said he had sought in the committee
to elevate all the questions Of difference to
the high plane of the good Of the country
without reference to party results. He
then spoke of the Preaident's salary, and
said he did not believe it should be re-
duced. The bill 10 reduce his salary had
passed both Houses of Congress, though he
voted in the negative, although it was vetoed
by the President in the exercise Of his
constitutional power, and with entire dis
|interestedness. He (Mr. Bayard) would
never consent by his vote to invade any
right or duty Of the President, and would
not permit the President to invade any
right or duty of his. Congress had no
right to put in this bill reducing his salary
upon an appropriation bill, and thus compel
him to veto bill to carry on the govern
nent or swallow a proposition already
vetoed by him. Congress had no right by
a species of moral duress to make the
President Lessen his constitutional preroga-
tives. If he were the President of the
United States and this bill came before
him under the same circumstances in
which the House proposed to send it 10 him
he would veto it. In regard to the pay Of
Senators and Representatives in Congress,
he held that this was representative
government of the people. 1t was in
tended that that representation should not
be affected by the poverty or riches Of the
man representing tlem. What would be
the result Of abolishing entirely the pay of
members of Congress? 1t would be a
shortsighted and absurd economy, which
experience would wipe away in less than
year. It's result would b. to bring two
classes into legislation-those who were
rich and those who were penniless to grow
rich on their Legislation, and either would
be hurtful to the country. 1t would be a
sad day for this country when men fit to
legislate upon the great questions presented
were prevented from coming to Congress
on account Of their poverty. 1t was the
duty Of the people to see that talent and
brains were not kept out Of their halls Of
legislation on account Of poverty.

between w. P. Haskell q Co.'S furni-

to have caught from a rocket which
lodged there and had been smoldering
since the previous evening. A few
hnckets of water extin2uished the
flames. although had they a few mo-
ments further Roadway the chances are
that a serious contiagration would have
ensued.
