try Gentleman says:
On another page we give an interesting &C.
count of the late exhibition of the Bath and
West of England Society, at Oxford. Our
English papers rate this show as equal if not
superior to the one held by the Royal Soce-
ty of England, at the same place. IN 1870
The display of Short.Horns was large and
good, but not quite good enough, it appears,
to take the champion prizes for the best an
imals in the yard-this coveted honor going
10 the Ieretords, Mr.. Aaron Rogers Crate
ful being declared to lie the best bull, and
Mrs. Sarah Edwards Beatrice IA 2-year old
heier, 10 be the best cow or heifer in the
yard.
When we consider the fabulous prices which
have been paid in England and in this coun-
try for Short Horn cattle, it seems surprising
that the lIeretords, about which so little is
said, should have taken the prizes, at n show
where there must have been sharp COMPETE
ton.

votes against 1899 cast for r. II. Smith, the
Greenback and Labor candidate. Latrobe's
majority, 1863. Mayor Latrobe was nau-
gurated on Monday and Immediately took
charge of his office. The people of Baltimore
city expect at the hands of Mayor Latrobe
a wise, economical and prudent adminstra-
ton of their city affairs-a continuation, in
fact, of the good work commenced by Mayor
Kane. We hope and believe they will not be
disappointed.

Our Washington Letter.

WAsHINGToN, ID. c., July 10th, 1873.
A few days since made mention ofthc remov-
al, by Secretary Schurz, of the appointment
Clerk of the Interior Department. This office
has an Importance not generally understood.
Through the Appointment Clerk the Secretary
gets his impressions of 80 in every 100 of the
men he appoints to office. In fact, the charac.
Ter of the Department here depends much more
upon shrewd appointment clerk, like the one
just dismissed by Secretary Schurz, than upon the
Secretary himself. Preceding this removal there
have been rumors that there would be general
reorganization of the force in the Interior De-
partment. These rumors were probably true.
They are confirmed by persons in situations to
know This reorganization, if it shall take
place, will unqucstionably be of great benefit to
the Department. But some sanguine people
believe that not only does Secretary SchurZ mean
this but that Mr.. Hayes has determined upon
general change among Federal officials through
out the country. There is plausibilty in this
story. Mr.. Hayes, if honest, has been trying
ever since he went to the White House, to reform
the civil service of the country. Everybody
knows that he has failed If he has made the at
tempt lie has failed, these sanguine people say,
because he has not cut aloof entirely from the
party leaders, and now seeing his mistake, he
will 90 on with his efforts without consulting
them further. The New York Custom House
suspensions were announced first because there,
better than elsewhere, Mr.. Hayes could learn
of the probable amount of opposition he would
uaNc W CilCOuulCl Ills ucW uppeal, HIS lIlcUuS
say, will be from Conkling, Blaine, and the like,
to the people. / am afraid Civil Service Reform
will not receive much immediate benefit if he
shall attempt this, but we shall have the liveliest
fight of modern times, and the political atmos-
phere may be purified thereby.
Latest reports from the seat of the Indian
War seem to show that General Towards report
ed victory over the hostiles has had wonder
fully reviving effect on them. They appear in
large numbers in many localities, and general
alarm is felt among the exposed settlers in Wash
ington Territory and Oregon.
That portion of the Potter Committee which
is now here will visit Atlantic City, New Jersey,
before joining the sub. committee in Louisiana,
and will there examine many of the visiting
Statesmen as to what they know about Lousia-
ma affairs.
Though we have been assured that Mr.. Sher-
man contemplates no immediate proclamation
of resumption, the weight of opinion is that it
will have been accomplished by October LIST, and
all of Mr. Sherman's movements seem to be
taken with view of reaching that end as speedily
as possible
As Indian matters have forged to the front,
the Mexican situation has temporarily receded.
But its possibilities for surprise were consider
ed two months ago quite equal to the Indian
question, and may yet prove more startling.

How THE INDIANS ARE RoBBED.-G General
Hammond's investigation Of the Indian ser.
vice on the Missouri, presents in detail the
iniquitous manner in which the agents up
pointed by the government have robbed both
the government and the Indians. Some Of
these agents built hotel at Crow Creek with
government money and supplied it regularly
with beef, potatoes milk, grain and hay from
the government warehouse, taking them
selves the receipts Of the house, rs Il matter
of course. The agency blacksmith shop was
turned into private farriery for the profit
of the "ring." The agent and the trader be-
ing secretly in partnership the former took
care that the latter should be supplied with
government goods instead Of having to buy
them and transport them Mt his own expense,
and cattle ranches belonging to the agents
and traders were stocked with stolen cattle
and supplied regularly with agency stores
1t was shown from the evidence that while
Indians who ought to have been well fed by
the agency were living on bullberrics and
coffee made out of wild cherry bark, the
stock and hogs belonging to the rascally
agents and traders were fattcnng on good
forage and corn. In fact, the poor Indians
were robbed, starved and cheated on every
hand, while band of thieves was gathering
wealth at their expense
The money provided for the expense of
the agency was divided, in the Tweed and
Credit Mobiler fashion, among the agent
and those in his employ, who signed vouch-
ers for fraudulent sums, which were sent TO
Washington with their accounts When
General Hammond commenced his examna-
ton he was informed that there were scarce
ly any stores on hand, but search disclosed
large quantities hidden away in an ingenious
manner, four thousand pounds of tobacco,
for example, being found in the carpenters
loft and barrels of sugar in the blacksmiths
shop.
The agents, in this manner, become
wealthy, and at the approach of trouble with
the Indians can retire to enjoy their ill-gotten
gains in SAFE place. Is it any wonder that
the poor Indians, driven from their hunting
grounds by the approach of white men, rob-
bed, cheated and starved by the government
agents, should protest, in the only manner
they can, against such injustice, by taking
the war path.

SUICIDE OF FARMER.-A correspondent,
writing from Prospect, in the upper part of
Hartford county, sends us the following ac-
count of the suicide of MIR. james Williams,
by hanging himself in his barn, last Sunday
morning:
Our usually quiet community was thrown
into state of great excitement, on Sunday
morning, the 14th inst, by the announcement
of the suicide of Mr.. James Williams, n
Weshman. Mr.. Williams was considered
one of our best citizens He had by industry
and perseverance accumulated, within the
last few years, by the manufacture of roofing
slate, considerable amount of property =
His health failing, year or two ago, he re-
lnquished business, and turned his attention
to farming, in which he was very successful.
He had been an intense sufferer, from COM
plication of diseases, for the last three or four
months past-from which he despaired of
getting permanent relief He stated to some
of his family, on Saturday last, that he could
not stand the pain and misery that he felt,
and intended to put an end to himself His
family thought nothing of the remarks.
On Sunday morning he arose about three
o'clock, some of the family being up at the
same time. He requested them to go to bed
he starting up stairs at the same time, as
they thought to 60 to bed also. The coast
being clear lie then slipped out of the house.
When morning came Mr. Williams was miss
cd, and on searching for him they found him
hanging dead in his own barn. An inquest
was held by Justice r.. d. Orr, and the jury
rendered their verdict in accordance with the
above hcls.
Mr.. Williams was about 4S year of age,
and leaves wife and eight children. His
remains were inferred in Statewide burying
grounds, ON Monday evening. Nix
