CURRENT TOPICS

"A CORRESPONDENT with Gen. How
ards expedition against the Nez-Perces
Indians, in Idaho, sent the following
dispatch, on the 9th ult., from Camas
Prairie, the scene of the Indian mas
sacre: We marched from Mount Idaho
to this place Monday afternoon, dis
lance of ten miles. Yesterday Gen How
ard made a reconnaissance in force,
leaving a strong guard in camp. We
proceeded 10 the scene of Col. Pery's
late battle with the Indians, and
found and buried % of the dead
soldiers, which leaves six of the bodies
yet to be found Lieut. Taller's body
has not yet been found. Those buried
were in such an advanced stage of de-
composition as to be unrecognizable.
All the arms and equipments were taken
by the Indians. Most of the bodies
were scalped. We found and brought
into camp, Manuel, one of the settlers
reported dead after the massacre
on Salmon River. He is
wounded in two places and
was almost starved. The number of
murders thus far ascertained are one
woman, two children, and Is men, in
addition to 80 soldiers of Col. Perry s
command killed and missing in the late
fight. Details of the murders are horri-
BILE in the extreme. There are several
women at Mt. Idaho, wives of settlers,
who narrowly escaped, or were rescued
after suffering most terrible outrageS.

In a recent interview with Represent
alive Crittenden, of Missouri, President
Hayes said that he regarded the South
ern question as settled, and did not con-
Germ himself about the comments that
his policy might be of temporary injury
to the Republican party, as he did not
desire to run the Administration in the
interest of any party. His desire was to
build up the dormant manufacturing in
terests, and to closely apply his atten-
ton to the means of restorin: the pros
perity of the country. He designated
no particular way, but said that his mis-
sion as President was to carrypeace and
prosperity to the remotest sections of
the land.

EX-GOv. CHAMBERLAIN, of South
Carolina, was one of the speakers at
the Woodstock (Ct.) Fourth-of-July
celebration, at which Mr. Blaine was
the principal orator. Mr.. Chamberlain
reviewed at length President Hayes's
action in reference to Louisiana affairs,
and alluded to him as ga President
who had literally climbed to his high
seat over the dead bodies of hundreds of
loyal men in Louisiana, who had met
death in forms far more terrible than
any battlefield in order that the liberty
of which they had tasted might be kept
for their Children

A SAN DIEGO dispatch says that in
Southern California the wheat crop is
almost total failure; not enough to
seed the ground the coming year. In
the northern part of the State the crop
is fair, but the total crop will not be
sufficient to supply the wants of the
State.
Prof. RILEY has concluded his inves-
LEGATION of the grasshopper plague in
Iowa. He reports to the Governor that
the ravages generally throughout the
State viii be less than was anticipated.
This is attributed in part to the increase
of insectivorous birds; in part to the
enlarged and improved means for catch
ing and destroying the insects; and
mainly to the heavy rains and storms,
which have destroyed vast numbers of
the 'hOppers. Nevertheless, he is still of
opinion that they will do considerable
damage in some of the southwestern
counties of the State unless extra
ordinary measures be taken by the in
habitants to impede their advance.
Prof. Riley is of opinion that the ditch
is the most effective barrier that can be
interpOsed to prevent the inroads of
the insects. They begin their march
before they are full-fledged, and, reach
ing the ditch, hop into it, and pile up
ole on the other, or, rather, thousands
upon thousands, and are unable to extri-
cate themselves. There they die and rot
Prof. Riley speaks of one case where
an 18-inch ditch filed up in a single
day, requiring Immediately the digging
of another ditch alongside, the earth
taken from it probably serving to fill
up the long grave of the myriads of To-
Gusts that had met their fate in the first
ditch.

MEssRs. WELLS, Anderson, Kenner
and Casanave, members of the late
Louisiana Returning Board, have been
indicted for uttering and publishing as
true, certain altered, false, forged and
counterfeited records,' viz: the cleo
ton returns for Presidential Electors
from the Parish of Vernon at the cleo
ton of November last. They were ar
rested on the 9TH and gave bail for their
appearance to stand trial.
THE Mexican press are greatly excit-
ed over the order instructing Gen. Ord
to cross the Rio Grande in pursuit of
Mexican marauders. The official Jour-
nal charges the United States Govern
ment with the violation of treaties and
international law, alleging that the Rio
Grande movement is a pretext for ter
ritorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT or for forcing
Lerdo upon the Mexican people.
These attacks have call ID forth a
memorandum from Minister Fos-
ter, in which he says that the
instructions given to Gen. Ord are not
the announcement of new measure on
the part of the United States. Mexico
has taken no adequate measures to pre-
vent these depredations or punish the
outlaws, but has frequently acknowl-
edged its inability to discharge its duty
regarding the preservation of order on
the Rio Grande frontier, giving as a
reason internal dissension. In conclu-
sion he denies that the instructions to
Gen. Ord are in contravention of
treaties between Mexico and the United
States.
