was not Joseph? They laughed, and
said: "Yes. Do you hear that ~voice?"
1 listened, and could hear a voice in
the Indian camp. THAT" said the
spokesman, sis Joseph's voice, trying to
persuade his young warriors not to
kill you" We Immediately held a
consultation and decided to hitch up,
try to pass by the camp and reach the
valley below. The Indians told US
that they discovered our camp the night
before; they would escort us by their
camp, and that we should not be
molested. When we got out of the
timber into the edge of the valley,
from IS to 100 warriors surrounded us,
but they allowed us to drive to the
lower end of Fire Hole Basin. An
Indian rode up and represented
that Looking Glass was coming down
to see us, and asked us to stop. Soon
word came that Looking Glass had
gone on to the front. At this juncture
a chief-supposed to be White Bird
rode up to us and harangued the
warriors in a loud voice, and ordered
us to turn around and drive up the
trail as fast as we could. We complied,
and soon after the Indians around us
set up a yell, closed in our rear, and
rode back to where n party of young
bucks had taken their stand. /
inquired what this all meant, and was
told that the party of young bucks had
unslung their guns to kill us, and that
the chief had ordered the other Indians
to prevent 1t. We were hurried up to
the main body as fast as our horses
would go, our escort urging us on by
saying that bad Indians were behind us,
and if overtaken we would he killed.
We camped at 2 p. IN. at the foot of the
mountain on the Yellowstone trail,
about eight miles from Geyser basin.
We were given a position in camp not
a great ways from the timber. Frank
intercede with Looking Glass in our
behalf, reported that the chief was
friendly, said he was IL friend, but he

What Justice Dem u n d Ia. !.

The sentence to be passed on Robert L.
Case, the ex-president of the Security Life
Insurance Company has been postponed
until Tuesday next and it is reported
that earnest efforts are meanwhile to be
made to secure new trial, to obtain
delay of sentence until an appeal for new
trial can be argued and decided, or to in
duce the Court to infict so light punish
ment as to be almost nominal, considering
the character of the offence. The punish
ment for perjury committed "where an
oath or affirmation is required by law"
which is the prisoners offence, is impris-
onment in a State prison mot ex-
ceeding ten years." This does not fix
a minimum term, but it is provided
(section 12, chapter l, part 4, title 7, volume
3, Revised Statutes Of New York;, that mo
person shall in any case be sentenced to i'm
prisonment in a State prison for any term
less than one year" The prisoner might
therefore be sentenced to single years i'm
prisonment. Would such punishment be
adequate to the offence? No person should
seek to CRAFTY a vindictive feeling against
the prisoner, and there are probably few
people in New York who do not sympathize
with him i'll his fall, and especially with his
family. But the crime OF which Mr.. Case
has been convicted has become too general
and has been productive of too much misery
to justify on almost nominal punishment
when the rare event of a conviction occurs.
The prisoner should not be considered in
this case. The example Of severe penalty is
required for the public good to cbecka dan
perous and cruel crime.

The Direct Cable Compan y.

In the form of report OF directors
meeting of the Direct Cable Company is
given sort OF stump speech by Mr.. John
Pendcr, the purport Of which is to show
that no cable company can ever be truly in
dependent save when 1t is dependent, nor
thoroughly prosperous until it has been
sold out and sacrificed to the interests Of
another company. 1t is well known that
the Anglo-American Company have reached
q point at which the opposition of the Direct
Company, by injury to the receipts, was
likely to prove destructive to its inflated
values and thus to make the fortune of its
own shareholders and benefit the public.
But desperate policy was rcsorted
to to capture this opposition and
save the nearly bankrupt concerns.
To attempt to show, as Mr.. Pender does,
how beneficial this has been to the interests
of the company absorbed, is like proving by
the opinions Of oil the VOLTS friends how
much better it is for lamb that he should
serve as o VOLTS dinner rather than fool
The New York herald., 1877-11-17
A Peritous Position.

There is law of the State which pun
ishes On attempt to incite n riot. If we
had statute to punish m attempt to incite
bad temper, envy, jealousy, dissatisfaction,
denunciation and general sense of out
rage and injustice among very impor-
tant section of our people-the mothers of
the cty---it ought certainly to be put in
force against the originators of the proposed
baby show which is to take place on the
Goth inst. 1t is appalling to reflect on the
scene that will be witnessed when the
prizes which are offered as an inducement
for the display Of the innocents ere awarded.
Some reports say that the decisions are to
be left in tho hands Of q committee of ply
sicians and Others that they are to be
made by limited number of persons
selected from the spectators. We should
be sorry to DO one of the medical
gentlemen or unit of the limited number.
Imagine tho risk that judges features
would stand if compelled to deliver his
opinion in the midst of hundred or more
disappointed mothers, every one Of whom
would bo profoundly impressed with a
sense of the injustice of the decision and of
the insult offered to her own overlooked
darling! The danger would be imminent
enough if the merits Of the competing
babies alono were to be decided But when
it is considered that the judges have also to
award premium to the handsomest mother
the unenviable and perilous position they
must occupy may be readily conceived.
Tongues might be held silent by an in
tensity Of indignation, but the withering
contempt that would be darted from angry
eyes on the unfortunate umpire would be
an infiction to remember during q life

stanlsy,s Map OF the Congo.

To geographers o well prepared map of a
newly discovered region is on object Of the
highest interest. Unless o written descrip-
ton is arranged 50 rs to give such minute
details as to enable draughtsman to plot
from them map Of the region described it
does not satisfy the requirements of geo.
graphical science, which demands first a
map and then description. But map
skilfully prepared by the same hand that
describes and under the eye that has
observed what it is intended to por-
tray ranks highest in value to all others.
Such map we present to our readers this
morning copied by the cngraver line for
line from the original drawn by Henry M.
Stanley. To say TINT it is o very complete
work in its woy is superfuous, for taking il
in one hand and Stanley's letters in the
other we can see at glance how close is
the correspondence between them. No such
map exists of the Amazon River, for in

been familiar with its banks. 1t is

published in -Macmilans Magazine from the
pen Of Sir rutherford Alcock The un.
stinted praise accorded by the writer to
Stanley's achievement comes from one who
is qualified by experience to judge of Its
value. But we cannot forget that behind
Stanley's success there looms up the i'm.
portant question, Who is to profit
by it? This is cautiously discussed
by Sir Rutherford Alcock, who suggests
that, as the policy Of protection is rapidly

n.slsnat,on OF MaeMahon'. Cabinet.

Reslgma tiOn or Mac MA hons Cabinet.
The pressure of events in France has at
length had its effect, and the Cabinet pre-
sided over by De Broglie has rendered its
resignation to the Marshal President. So
far this is reassuring event, but under
certain conditions the retreat of the Ministers
may only render the situation more strained |;
for although France may vote for republic
and the anti-republican Ministry may be
wise enough to recognize the national voice,
the unwavering egotism and obstinacy OF
President MacMahon seem to be sufficient
barrier to settlement. His power to coerce
the Assembly by threats of dissolution is,
however, ut an end, for the moderate or
Orleanist group in the Senate, whose votes
can turn the scale to either side. refuse to
consent to another appeal to France. They
counsel tho Marshal to make q COM
promise with the moderate men of
the Left and so arrange the diff
ficulty. Will he do this, or will
he rather prolong the irritation by
choosing now Cabinet, composed OF
individuals obnoxious to the majority and
the country? We hope not; but we fear
that influences prejudicial to the peace of
France will not be absen. from the councils
of the President. He has now an oppor-
tunity Of recovering mucn of his popularity
by trusting France and the mon she has
selected to represent her.

Congress Yestsrd a y.

The finances were the subject of discus
sion almost exclusively in the two branches
OF Congress yesterday. In the Senate Mr..
Davis, of West Virginia, introduced an old
subject in regard to tho accuracy of the
Treasury accounts and reports, which he
maintains are very far from being correct.
At the last session of Congress the matter
was investigated by committee, but
the report and explanations then made
were not satisfactory to him and he
has again been gratified by the appointment
Of another committee for the same purpose.
In the House the debate on the Anti-Re-

Ratding In Texas.

Our news from San Antonio is Of interest
in view of the effort of the people Of Texas
to secure, by provision in the Army bill,
that certain defined force shall always be
kept on duty in their State This provision
has been rejected by the Senate as an inter-
ference with the constitutional function OF
the President as Chief, and
tits, of course, very justly rejected from the
view Of constitutional law. Yet the anxiety
Of the Texans on this subject is natural, and
it is not difficult to understand their desire
to have some such guarantee as the law would
give if it were within the function of Con-
gress to order the disposition of troops. Here,
for instance, is before us case in which
only the insufliciency Of the force on
the frontier could possibly prevent the in
fiction upon the raiders of blow that
might keep their fraternity on the other
side the river for many day. 1t is known
beforehand that large number of Indians
have crossed, that they are advancing in
dispersed bodies of nearly thirty each to fall
on the settlements at any point where they
might find murder and plunder feasible and
not too dangerous. With this knowledge
and with troops these bodies might be ami
hilated; but the knowledge alone is not
enough and the troops are not there; for
though General Ord has fifteen hundred
men this is thin line for long frontier,
and must necessarily leave many points un-
guarded. 1t is to be hoped, however, that
the raiders will get hurt as it is
