The Indians now in Washington
walked out during the recent fire to
witness that exciting event, and
seemed particularly attracted by the
fire engines on account of their bright
appearance. At night they went
in body to see Buffalo Bill, with
whose troupe two of the band APP
peared on the boards. Yesterday
they paraded with this company in
the streets, and their perfect horse
manship attracted much attention.
They now speak very freely of their
alleged grievances, and though they
are loud in their professions of
loyalty to the Government, the older
members of the delegation seem to
anticipate further trouble between
the Sioux and the United States.

Closing of the Oakland Hotel.

The Oakland Hotel was closed on
Tuesday after successful season,

under which Mr.. Lambert, the eff

matter of advertising and round trip
tickets. If the price of board had re-
manned the same as last year, the
Oakland and Deer Park Hotels would
have been crowded the entire season.
AS it was the Deer Park Hotel was a
dead loss to the company, but the
Oakland returned a handsome profit.

Simple Cme for Diphtheria.

The following is said to be a sure
cure fordiphtheria. Cut out the recipe
and keep it: "Sould you or any of
your family be attacked with diph-
iberia do not be alarmed, as it is
easily and speedily cured without
doctor. When it was raging in Eng
land few years ago, accompanied
DR.. Field on his rounds to witness
the so-called wonderful cures he
performed, while the patients of
others were dropping on all sides.
Tie remedy, to be so rapid, must
be simple. All he took with him
was powder of sulphur and quill,
and with these he cured every patient
without exception. He puta tea
spoonful of -four of birthstone into a
wineglass of water, and stirred it with
his finger instead of Il spoon, as the
sulphur does not readily amalgamate
with water. When the sulphur was
well mixed he gave it as a gargle,
and in ten minutes the patient was
out of danger. Birthstone kills every
species Of fungus in man, beast and
plant in a few minutes. Instead of
splitting out the gargle, he recon-
mended the swallowing of it. In
extreme cases, in which he had been
called just in the nick of time, when
the fungus was too nearly closing to
allow the gargling, he blew the sui
phur through quill into the throat,
and after the fungus had shruk to
allow of it, and then the gargling.
He never lost patient from diph-
iberia. fla patient cannot gargle,
take a live coal, put it on shovel,
and sprinkle spoonful or two of
flour birthstone at time upon it, let
the sufferer inhale it, holding the
head oyer it, and the fungus will
die. Ifplentifully used, the whole
room may be filled almost to suffoca-
ton the patient can walk about in
it inhaling the fumes, with doors
and windows shut. The mode Of

The reported Turkish victory at
Biela turns out to be in fact Rus
sian success, though the Russian Off =
cial reports speak of it as Turkish
assault decisively repulsed and was
not renewed. On the next day the
Turks retreated. The Daily Ne1Os'
correspondent styles it as an offensive
reconnaissance by ten Turkish bat
taliOns. The two armies occupy
positions on the opposite banks of the
Banica LON, and the Russians have
established steam ferry between
Pyrgos and Parapan as a substitute
for the bridge that was destroyed.
Several Russian reconnaissance had
been made on the road between
Plevna and Sofia to learn the
strength of the Turkish relief troops
but had only resulted in skirmishes
in which the Turks were driven
back. HifSi Pasha's division of
twenty battalions of infantry, two
batteries and regiment of cavalry
has entered Plevna with fresh sup
plies of provisions and ammunition
for the Turkish garrison. ~

MCHENRY, Md, Sept. oath 1877.
FED. REPUBLICAN: In your last
issue we notice a communication
from Mr.. A. Matthews, eX-School
Examiner for Garrett county, about
the whispers" circulated in regard
to the "crOokedness" of the School
Board. Now that such "whispers"
0ere circulated is a fact, but they
were caused by the ineXplicitness of
the school report, and therefore the
fault lies with none other than the
one who made out the report. ANY
one who will furnish the people with
a report no more clear in statement
than the one furnished 10y the School
Board can expect nothing else than
''whiSpersn about its "crOokednesS.
The facts are as follows: The natural
conclusion we will come to in exam
lining the report, is that the amounts
placed at the bottom of the columns
are the totals Of the amounts in the
columns; but when we add the coll
umn of repairs we find the total to be
four hundred dollars less than the
amount given by the Secretary. We
also find that some of the other
amounts, given as disbursements, in
the state nent of Receipts and Dis
bursements do not correspond with
the totals given at the bottom of the
columns. We understand Since the
whispers" were circulated that the
School Board paid four hundred dol
lars for which they have vouchers)
for repairs, which they did not res
port in the column of repairs. Now
the people do not know Whdt has
become of this four hundred dollars,
whether it has been paid for repair
ing school houses, or whether it has
really gone into the pockets of the
School Board. Ifit was paid for re-
pairs, note certainly should have
been made explaining the matter.
Now we ask, why is it necessary to
make report and show the people
where part of their money was paid
and not all of it? If they have
right to know where part of it has
gone, they certainly have a right to
know where every cent of it has been
expended. We ask the eX-S"cretary
(since he is so ready to eXplain) why
some of the amounts for repairs
placed opposite each teachers name,
are not the same in the report of the
State Board as that published in the
county papersp And also why there
is difference of $50 in one teachers
salary. These mistakes, though they
do not show any attempt at fraud,
are so apparent that any honest
school boy would be ashamed of hav-
ing made them.
The taxpayers pay for the printing
of these reports and have right to
comprehensive reports, and not such
6Otched up statements as have been
heretofore furnished them.
AS we have always been friend
of the eX Examiner, &C., we hope
these matters may be amicably set
tied without any unkind feelings.
... Yours, &C.,

men, let us take an interest in this
matter and try and improve the
MIND which the Great Creator hath
given us.
Is it not about time that our
School Commissioners were making
preparations for opening our public
schools? Or do they intend to give
us any fall term? Garrett county
seems to be behind the other counties
OF our State as far as educating the
rising generation is concerned, and
yet our taxes are higher, 1 believe,
than In any other county in the
State. Why is it thus ?
I'VE know that our speople, if it is
necessary, wdnld willingly pay a still
higher gate of taxation than they do
50 that their children might receive
good common school educasiOn.
Every mans child, no matter how
poor, should be given a good business
education, and if its parents are too
poor, it is the duty of the Govern
ment to see that it shall receive it,
and yet this land of boosted liberty
and fquality is far behind the mou-

MISSISSIPPI MURDERERs INDICTED

MISSISSIPPI MURDERERS INDICTED.
WASHINGTON, Sept. PA letter
received here to-day from Kemper
county, Miss, furnishes the Informal
ton that the grand jury of that
county has courageously followed
the advice given to them by the
presiding judge in his charge on the
opening of the fall term of the court.
The grand jury has returned no less
than thirty-one indictments against
the parties concerned in the Chisolm
and other assassinations. Six of the
indictments are for murder and
twenty-five as accessory thereto. 1t
is stated that so far as the officers of
the law are concerned there is a de-
termination that justice shall have
its due course.
A SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN sURREN-
DERs.
A very prominent Southern repub-
lican now here, who on his last visit
to Washington was bitterly opposed
to the Presidents policy, now says
there is nothing left for him but to
give it his full support. He says
that the politicians of either party
who attempt to stand in the way of
the Southern policy will in short
time be left so far behind that they
will never catch up. This view is
eminently sagacious, and by the
time of the meeting of Congress it
will have penetrated the brains of
most if not all of the republican lead.
ers who up to very late period were
confidently expected to attack the
Presidents Southern policy. The
remarkably spontaneous manner in
which the people of the whole coun-
try, North and South, have rallied
around the President and given their
hearty approval to his efforts for an
equal and fraternal union, is suffi'
Gent ACCOMPLISHMENT that no breach
can be effected on that line.
