New Orleans only at the request Of PTesi-
dent Grant, aud like all visitors abstained
carefully from influencing the Returning
Board Had the Weber-Anderson letter
been written he would probably have
known it, because he was intimate with
Sherman and was with him daily at New
Orleans. He thought Hayes and Packard
were elected.
Representative Danford testified that
Hayes and Packard had the same number
OF votes, except that Packard had 200 or
300 more In one parish.
Ex Representative Sypher testified that
D. A. Weber had asked him at the time
the visiting statesmen we're in NewOrleans
it Matthews and Sherman could be trust

he didn't take any body's verbal promise
and would demand written promise.

to be signed by Sherman, but was not sure
it was Sherman's writing, He presumed il

Indian Affairs.

WASHINGTON, July 24-The United
States Indian Agent at White earth Agen-
cy, Minnesota, writes the Commissioner oi
Indian Affairs. under date of July l6, as
follows: A reliable half breed, who has
just returned from visit to Sisseton
Agency, Dakota Territory, says that while
there he met and eonversed with some
Sioux Indians from Standing Rock Agency.
They were couriers sent with tobacco from
the Sioux of the plains to invite the Sisse
ton Sioux to join them in hostilities
against the whites; that already eight diff.
ferent bands of Sioux had joined the con
federation, and that Sitting Bull himself
had made visit this summer to Standing
Rock agency. where he spent three OF
four days in disguise. Also that the gov.
ernment had threatened to take ponies from
some of the Sioux Indians on the Missouri,
which would be resisted by all those
tribes, aud that general Sioux war was
Imminent and would soon be announced
Whether there is any truth 10 the state
mept made by the Indians from Standing
Rock agency or not | cannot tell, but they
certainly made such statement to a halt
breed of this reservation. The officials ot
the Indian Office consider the above as
purely sensational, and entertain no fears
Of the Sioux tribes joining the hosties.
SAN Francisco, July 24,-Baker City
dispatch. Gen. Howard formed a junction
with Forsythe's command yesterday. The
whole force left camp near Robbinsyillt
this morning to follow the fleeing hostiles
who are making direct toward the Malheul
agency. The hostiles will be forced to fght
soon, as troops are coming against then

Re markabl Suicide

CHICAGO. July 25.-The Times special
from Capron, Illinois, says dramatic sui
eide occurred there Tuesday night. Early
last May Geo. w. Burleigb, who is an old
resident of Ohio. having lived in various
parts of that state, came to that town os-
tensibly to start tonsorial establishment.
Burleigh was man of varied accomplish
ments, fine education, and versatile in con-
versation. While at Capron he was
often in depressed spirits. Last Sun
day he published card informing the
citizens that in order 10 crafty an often
expressed curiosity on the part of his
townsmen to witness some such tragedy as
the hanging of Sherry and Connolly 10
Chicago, he would. on the evening of the
23d instant, deliver lecture in Thornton
Hall, and at its conclusion crafty them by
shooting himself through the forehead. the
price of admission would oe ST and the
amount realized should be used in funeral
expenses, and the remainder be invested
in the works of Huxley, Tyndell, x Oar
win, for the town library. His idea IN
ending his life was to secure eternal peace
by annibiation. At the appointed time
the hall was crowded and after delivering
an intdel lecture of wonderful power in
manner and tone, which marked him as an
adept. he suddenly drew a derriDger
placed it to his forehead, and despite the
attempts to prevent the rash deed, fred
aud fell into the arms of two friends who
we're in the wings of the stage for the pur
pose of hinderiDg the execution of the
design. The large sized ball literally tore
his brain to pieces; he left request tha
his body be forwarded to his Cincinnati
| friends
