THE PROSPECT.
General Miles had mounted the four
companies of Iufantry, "believing that
now that the Indians are demoralized they
can be chased down and brought in best
by mounted force. The Indians no doubt

The detachment of 7th Cavalry reached

CORY GREASERS.

Fresh Outrages on Our Southern Border
Tucson: Arizona, Oct. 15.-Advices
from Ell Paso show a most serious and
threatening state of affairs. The en-
tire lower portion of FL Paso county is
in possession of mob and Americans
throughout the country have abandoned
their homes and fled to Ell Paso for
safety. Judge Howard, who killed
LOUIS Cards at Ell Paso on the 10th
inst, succeeded in making his escape
to Mesilla, where he still remains.
Cards is said to have been the leader
of the mob, who are the more desperate
and threatening on account of his
death. The sheriff of Ell Paso is also
at Mesilla, but refuses to return with
Howard, as the latter would be killed
Immediately by the mob, while the
sheriff himself will be killed if he dares
return without Howard. Lieut.. Payne,
who is in charge of a detachment of
troops, says four companies will be re-
quired to suppress the mob. A large
number of outlaws are encamped near
the county seat. They declare that
they will fight the troops if the latter
attempt to make arrests. Judge Blaker
is en- route from Fort Davis with troops
to restore order. ..'

BLAINE OF MAINE.
How He Feels and Talks.

Washington, Oct. 15.-It was stated
in these dispatches some time ago that
Blaine had announced to one or two
personal friends that he had no idea of
being Presidential candidate in 1880,
because he saw clearly that the Demo-
Gratis were destined to sweep the coun-
try in that election, and he believed
they would elect President who would
succumb to the southern demands and
thus cause tremendous reaction in
favor of the Republican party in the
north and west. He looks forward,
therefore, for restoration of the Re-
publican party to power in 1884, and
intends, if possible, to be the Republi-
can candidate at that time. The in
tentions of Mr.. Blaine are confirmed
by his friends since his return here,
and furnish the key to his political
course in the immediate future. it is
stated that he will, as far as possible,
ignore the present administration. He
will not seek any quarrels with Presi-
dent Hayes, neither will he attempt to
ally himself in any way with the admin
istration. He believes it destined to be
a failure in all partisan respects and he
intends to devote himself to legislation
affecting the interests of the north and
east.

AN ONO gentleman now in WASH
ington says that, prior to the election
i'll that state, Senator Thurman in
formed him in the event of the Demo-
Gratis obtaining a majority in the legis-
lature, he would resign his seat in the
Senate, in order that both Pendleton
and Ewing might be chosen. Thurman
said he would do this because he be-
lieved it would be the means of prevent
ing any division among the Ohio Demo-
Gratis in consequence of the senatorial
struggle and would leave him in good
condition for the national campaign OF
1880, when he expects the Ohio Democ-
racy to unanimously present him for
the Presidency.

House after organization, to determine.
Hale, of Maine, rose to a question OF
highest privilege, the right of mem
Der to his seat, while at the same mo.
ment Wood, of New York, rose to
what he asserted to be question of
highest privilege, the organization of
the House by the election of a speaker.
Hale then offered resolution seating
Belford, which clerk Adams refused to
entertain. Hale appealed from the de-
cision and the clerk declined to enter
tain appeal. The previous question in
proceeding to the election of speaker
was moved, put and declared carried.
Hale demanded a division and the re-
suit was 149 ayes to 127 nays. So the
resolution was adopted.
Clymer nominated Randall. Hale
nominated Garfield. The clerk ap-
pointed Clymer, Banning, Fort and
Foster tellers. By vote of 149 to
1872 Randall was elected over Garfield.
Garfield and Goode conducted him to
the chair, and Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
administered the oath.
The speaker then returned his thanks
and outlined his policy. The speaker
then administered the oath tomembers.
Most of the southern members took the
qualified oath. Objection was made to
swearing in Cain and Rainey of South
Carolina, Darrell, Elam and Robertson,
of Louisiana, and Pacheco, of Califor-
mia, and those members stood aside.
The delegates for the territories were
all sworn in without objection. ely

John G. Thompson,
of Ohio; doorkeerer, John W. Polk, of
Missouri; postmaster, James NJ. Stew
art, OF Virginia, and chaplain, Rev.

Hale offered an amendment substi-
tuting for these names those of Jere-
miah NJ. Rusk, n. G. Ordway, Horace
III. Harrison, Henry Sherwood and Rev.
j. G.. Butler. The amendment was re-
jected and the resolution adopted with
out division. The oath of office was
then administered to these officers,
Messrs. Polk and Stewart taking the
modified oath.
COMMITTEES were then appointed to
inform the Senate of the organization
of the House and to inform the Presi-
dent that Congress is ready to receive
any communication he may desire to
make. The drawing of seats was fixed
for p. m., the courtesy of selecting
