pie which nrguod personal acquaintance with

made tho occasion Of tho announcement TINT
ho las never scon ireland. lie goes now to

nan TO purH.1c, ono would think, would 10 10
get his information first and to do Ills 1cgis-
Iat!ng afterwards; but this course seems nol
to have commended itself TO Mr.. GLADSTONE.
The conduct Of the ex-premicr will, refer.

Iuh1lnaQn act.

William Harvey. who was treated SO crul-
ly by that brute Voneida of Lambertville N.
j., was a nephew of Mr.. Daniel Gibson,
who resides over Third street bridge.
The boy was an orphan, and 16 years ofage
having been out of the Northern Home In
Philadelphia only four moths. The wretch
having exposed the boy to the cold until
his feet were frost-bitten, told him not to
let It be known or he would desert him.
The boy by some means managed to get
home to his aunt, a Mrs. Baker, and related
the hardships he had undergone, being
then almost starved, having never got more
than one piece Of bread the whole time he
was with him. He lived three or four days
after his return to his aunt's
A post mortem examination revealed the
fact that his spine was broken. Voneida,
upon discovering what be had done, fed
but it is supposed that he is in Philadelphia
as he has relatives there.

Indian Depredat1Ons In Wyoming
Territory.

CHEYENNE, Wyoming Territory, Feb. Z.
The following report is brought by hcrd-
er who arrived here last night. It lacks
confirmation. He says that on the 5th inst,
while he was herding cattle twelve miles
south of Pine Bluffs, and about fifty miles
southeast of this city, he came upon about
thirty Cheyenne Indians, who appeared to
have gone into camp permanently. The
herder WAS on foot when he discovered
the Indians, and he hid himsolf in the
bushes until he could escape unobserved.
The Indians found his pony and took it into
their camp. Night before last the Indians
drove of seven head of stock from Sabelle's
ranch, near Chugwater. The herders we're
chased by the Indians, but escaped. Last
week lot Of ponies were stolen from the
Red Cloud Agency by white horse-thleves.
A party of soldiers went in pursuit, and
yesterday overlook and captured two of the
thieves, recovering twenty-six ponies. There
was third man with the stolen ponies, who
managed to get away.
The Morning herald., 1877-02-09

IN rclaLlOn TO the quo WarrantO proceedings
he had thought all discussion Of that sub
ject uncalled for. In the papers laid before
the two Houses there was but one allusion
to these proceedings In quo warranto, and
that was in the certificate Of Governor
Drew. Those proceedings were not before the
Commission, and could not bo brought here
BY the allusion in the Governors message.
He submitted the proposition that all acts
In relation to tho accomplishment Of q GER
tain act must anticipate the act itself, and
on this proposition every act that followed
the electoral vote was excluded. He con-
tended that the power of State was limited
to appointment and that no act pertaining
to appointment conld be had after the ap-
pointment had been made and the Office
had passed away.
Mr.. shellbarger said that when all that
could be done by the State had bsen done
according to the requirements of the law of
the State existing on the day of election,
the power Of the State passed away, and 1t
became thereafter q federal trust. The
power Of the State was on day that forever
ended. He conceded that 1t was In the pow.
or Of the State to try by her own machinery
the power of her electoral, but the scrutiny
must be made prior to the discharge Of
the functions of the office machinery. To
contest an election after the Office had
passed away would, he said, be an ab-
surdity.
ANOTHER INELIGIBLE ELEoToR TURNS UP.
Albert Peyser, an alleged ineligible Dem
ocrAtic Elector from West Virginia, arrived
here this morning in obedience to subpoena
from the Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections. It is claimed that Peyser is
a native of Poland, and has never been nat.
uralized as citizen of this country. Several
witnesses have been subpanaed to testify In
the case.
Mr.. Peyser claims to be native Of New
York State.
THE CONFINEMENT OF GOVERNOR WELLS
AND GENERAL ANDERsON-NEw QUAR-
TIERS PROVIDED FOR THEM.
The Sergeant-at- t-Arms yesterday trans
ferred Governor Wells and General Ander-
Education and Labor to that previously oc-
cupied by them, and in which, heretofore,
Woody, j. B. Stewart and other recusant
witnesses were confined. The reason for
the removal was that the committee could
not surrender their room, wishing to use it
for the transaction of business. Wells CON-
planned Of his quarters, but General Ander-
son, who keeps him company, expresses
himself satisfied. Sergeant at Arms Thomp
son offered to remove Wells to the room
occupied by the colored members of
Returning Roard, but he refused, not being
willing to part company with Anderson.
Mr. Thompson says he is now endeavoring
to procure more comfortable quarters for
Wells, who complains of sickness.
