THE INDIAN OUTRREAK-BOISE CITY TO De
GARRIsoNED-MovEME OF THE IN
DIANs.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 20.-A press des~
patch from Boise City says three companies
of the 1st Cavalry and two of the 18th In-
fantry are now en- route to this point, and
expected to arrive 10 few days. Boi-e
will be made the military depot, and will be
strongly garrisoned.
Captain Robins company of thirty men
is in camp on the Upper Niser river, and
will remain until Joined by the regular
troops, with orders to move northward
'Nez Perces scouts are known to be on the
Wiser, their signal fires having been seen,
and they doubtless have line of signals
established between the Wiser and their
camp on Salmon river. This may be noth>
ing more than precautionary measure to
guard against the approach of troops from
the south.
The position of the hostiles on Salmon
river is one of great natural strength, in
which they will be able to occupy the atten>
ton of all the troops that may be sent
against them. 1t will be impossible to pre-
vent them from receiving reinforcements
from Indians disposed to join them, who
can reach them in small detach hments
through the country so perfectly known to
them.

Important to Tax Payers.


The Baltimore Sun gives the following
important decision, which may be Of inter
est to the tax payers Of this county. We
learn that somewhat similar case is now
pending here.
0PIxIoS on TAXES PAD is ERR0R.--City
Solicitor Findlay has given the opinion to the
judges of the Appeal Tax Court that the
court has not the power to transfer taxes
paid in error for one house to the credit Of
another. The case in question was that Mr..
Wyeth had, since 1874, been paying taxes by
error on house adjoining one he owned on
Fremont street, mistake having been made
in regard TO the number in the tax BILL His
own house was advertised recently for sale
for taxes, and Mr.. Wyeth appeared before
the court stating the facts, and asked to have
the taxes transferred to the proper house or
refunded. Mr. Findlay decided as stated,
and said the only relief for Mr.. Wyeth was to
obtain from the owner Of the other house the
amount Of taxes paid in error. The Court Of
Appeals has decided that where the seller
neglects to properly transfer property he is
responsible for the taxes.

Senator Sharon, of Nevada, is absent
from the Senate, engaged in his silver
mining operations, and will not present
himself in Washington where his presence
is so earnestly desired by the Republican
Senators. In answer to their repeated
and earnest entreaties he de6antly says
the Senate may 60 to a very bad place,
and offers, if "the party" does not like his
absence, to resign. This Is a cruel taunt
to the Republican leaders For he knows
that they would rather that he should stay
where he is than resign for the Legisla-
ture Of Nevada has now a Democratic
majority, and should Mr.. Sharon retire a
Democrat would be elected to his seat in
the Senate.

The Fishery Commission.

The N. 7, Sua explains the origin Of
the fishery difficulties between the United
States and the Canadian authorities, re-
sulting in an arbitration by Commissioners
who met at Halifax, and last week closed
their labors by awarding s5,500,OOO to
Great Britain as indemnity for spOliatiOn
by American fishermen:
In his message Of Dec. s, 1870, President
Grant called the attention Of Congress TO
certain unfriendly proceedings Of the Cana.
dian authorities. Under the convention OF
1918, American fishermen had enjoyed the
right Of fishing in British waters, subject to
the restriction that they were not TO take fish
within three miles Of the coast Up 10 the
time Of the organization of the Dominion Of
Canada, the usage had been, when an Amer
lean fisherman was found violating this re.
striction, to give him reasonable warning and
time to stand out to sea. But the Dominion
authorities, the President said, had exercised
their newly acquired jurisdiction over the in
shore fishing grounds in harsh and unfriend-
ly way. American vessels had been seized
without warning, carried into Canadian ports
and condemned. A vexatious right Of search
on suspicion had been asserted, as also the
right 10 seize any American fishing vessel
| found in a Canadian port twenty-four hours
after notice to leave had been served. Con.
gress was advised to empower the Executive
to adopt retahatory measures. OF course,
there was another aide to the story. The
Canadians insisted that they were the wrong
ed and aggrieyed party in the case; that they
were losing millions of dollars by the poach'
ing Of these American fishermen, and that,
since the abrogarion Of the Reciprocity treaty,
there was no reason why they should put up
with it, When the High Joint Commission
met in Washington this question naturally
came up, and in one of the articles Of the
treaty provision was made for an arbitration,
The Canadian Commissioner, Sir John A.
Mcdonald was understood at the time 4
maintain that the decision Of the arbitrator
must be unanimous in order to be binding.
The arbitrators-Sir A. I. Gait for Can
ada, Judge Kellogg for the United States
and the Belgian Minister at Washington, NJ
Delfosse, as President-haye now given theil
decision, and it is not unanimous. The ma
jority award Great Britain (Canada) $500
900. The American Commissioner dissents
The award is a disagreeable surprise to botl
parties in interest. The Canadians have beer
talking confident of from 50, 900, 900 to $l2,
600, 600, while it has not been supposed il
Washington that the damages in any cas-,
would 60 over million.

NORTHERN ENTERPRISE IN MARY
LAND.-A company of capitalists from
Yates county, N. Y. have purchased 400
acres of land, part of which was Warwick
Manor" situated at the mouth of Cabin
Creek, a tributary of the ChOptank River,
a few miles above Cambridge, Dorchester
county. Here town has been laid out,
streets graded and crossing at right
angles Trees have been planted in the
principal street, which is 60 feet wide, run
ming north and south to the river, where a
fine wharf has been constructed. A hotel
three stories high, so feet square, with
back building 60 by 20 feet, stores on the
ground floor, is in process Of erection.
This is intended as Summer resort, and
will be known as the "Allenton Hotel
Many parties have purchased lots, and be-
fore spring will be built large canning
house, sash, door aud blind factory, pla-
ming mill, and boot and shoe factory. The
material for the hotel was purchased aud
prepared at Williamsport, Pa. ready to be
put up. Three steamers ply between there
and Baltimore, aud the wharf is crowded
with freight for the colonists The Chop
tank river abouuds with oysters, and has
the best shad and herring fisheries in Ma
ryland. 1t is also celebrated for its rock
and perch, the best pan fish that swim.
1t also affords, in season, fine sport for
wild duck and wild geese shooting, and
carries on large trade in FISH and oysters
with Baltimore and Philadelphia,

THE MEXICAN BoRDER.-President
Diaz has issued an order to the Mexican
commander on the Rio GraDde to repel
any invasion Of our troops; and he has sent
there Gen. Trevino, with force $500
strong 10 carry out the order This de-
eisive action has alarmed Gen. Ord, who
teIegrnphs to Washington for reinforce
ments Of cavalry. It is alleged that this
report is sensational, and no doubt il is.
Gen. Trevino is sent to the Rio Grande to
repel LordO expedition from Texas, or
ganized in that State, against the Diaz
government in Mexico. OF course, If the
command Of Gen. Ord should violate
Mexican territory IN the face Of the $500
men under Gen. Trevino, there would be
a collision. But the way to avoid that is
for Gen. Ord to keep his men on the
Texan side Of the river, then Trevino will
cooperate with him in preserving peace
aud maintaining order.

Patterson's Bribery.

The Committee Of the South Carolina Leg.
stature appointed last spring, to investigate
certain matters, including the manner Of Mr..
Patterson's election as U. S. Senator in 1872,
presented report Wednesday morning. They
give an abstract Of the testimony taken, which
shows that about forty ex.Legislators, white
and colored Republicans, concurred in stating
that Patterson's election was secured by bri.
berry. About twenty Of them testified that
they received brides from Patterson or hi.
agent, Worthington, the amounts ranging
from 500 to $3.50. The remainder testified
that brides were offered them and refused.
Ex. Congressman Elliot, colored, who was
Patterson's principal competitor, was offered
$751; to withdraw from the contest, but de-
clined. j. B. Dennis made the offer in the
name Of Patterson, Major Martin X. Delaney
colored, being present. Delaney corrobors
ted Elhott's testimony. II was further shown
in evidence that Governor Moses afterwards
appointed Dennis a Jury Commissioner 'to
draw juries for the protection of Patterson
when he was indicted in 1873 for procuring
his election by bribery, and the arrangement
was successfully completed 1t was also
testified that a colored Senator named Max,
well was paid to change his vote to Patterson,
which gave the latter a majority of the State
Senate, ''and avoided the necessity Of joint
Assembly the next day."

Political Sensations.

Radical supremacy in Washington is IN
articulo mortia, or the majority 10 the
Senate is in danger of disintegration.
Something, therefore, is needed to cement
and bind together, if possible, the broken
fragments. What more likely TO do this
than the sensational stories Of Democrat
10 coup d'eiat, or that Mr.. Tilden is about
to prosecute his right to the Presidential
Office. We give two Of these stories be-
low, promising that there is not scintilla
Of truth in any Of them.
STARTLING RuNoRs FROM WASHINGTON
The Washington correspondent Of the Phila'
delphia Press telegraphs that paper very
sensational rumor. The dispatch says TIN
anticipation Of transfer Of power in the
Senate, the Democratic members Of the
House have been planning coup Getdt
to deprive President Hayes Of his office.
Their project is to pass in their body reso-
luton, after recounting a few general claims,
declaring Samuel j. Tilden and Thomas A.
Hendricks duly elected President and Vice
President of the United States, which having
also passed the Senate, they would recognize
as sufficient After this Tilden would be ex.
pectsd to nominate his cabinet, which would
be confirmed by the Senate.
Mr.. TILDEN TO PRosEcUTEHIs RIdHTs.
"A Ne,o York Herald interviewer is re-
presented as asking Mr.. Tilden this ques-
ton.
''Do you purpose prosecuting your right TO
the presidential chair p Certainly, do, -
answered Mr.. Tilden spiritedly. "The coun.
try knows that Twas legally elected President,
and this American people is too intelligent to
forget that one glaring and paramount fact.
On that fact the very foundations Of the re-
public rest. If the voice Of a nation be not
realized in the serious question of electing its
supreme ruler, then you may calculate on bit.
| terness Of feeling that will not be assuaged
until the wrong is righted. The people who
supported me feel day that their votes were
given in vain. They feel that they might as
well have cast their suffrage for dummy, and
they number so large a portion Of the popula-
ton of the whole country that il is an unwise
experiment to triAe with their rights. As far
as am concerned ii is of little consequence,
but tell you one of the gravest principles in
representative government is involved, and il
the people do not see 10 il the matter will be
a subject for deep regret to coming genera
| tons. y
