saying that six Sioux Indians had ar

ascertain upon what terms his people

Col. Miles that the Sioux Indians who

The Democratic State Convention
adjourned at noon Saturday. The fol-
lowing platform vas adopted:
"Favoring making United States
notes full legal tenders. Favoring re-
firing national bank notes and substi-
tuting United States Treasury notes
therefor. The National Government
alone should have power to issue legal
tenders, according to the wants of the
Nation. Favoring funding the national
debt at home. Opposing an increase
of bonds. U. S. bonds should be taxed
like other property. Unlimited free
coinage of silver. Interchange of gold,
silver, and paper dollars. Uncon-
ditional repeal of the odious Resump-
ton Act. Legislation to prevent Fed
eral Courts interfering with State
Courts. Favoring Government aid for
the Southern Pacific Railroad and the
Mississippi levees. A tariff for revenue
only"
Additional resolutions were adopted,
favoring the general system of public
schools, inviting immigration; endors-
ing the Potter Committee, and insist
ing that the crime by which President
Hayes was seated be exposed and the
criminals punished. That it is the
sense of this Convention that the
eolored population of Arkansas are
identified in interest with the great
Democratic party of the State, and,
FULLY recognizing, the importance of a
harmonious feeling between them, we
embrace this opportunity of inviting

FOREIGN DISPATCHES
The Result of the Berlin Congress.
T,oNDON Jnlv

LONDON, July7.
The progress already made in the
Berlin Congress bids fair to vindicate
our prediction of an adjournment
during July. Thus far all indications
point to substantial Russian triumph
in the Congress. England has gained
nothing practical which was not offered
her long before Beaconsfeld made his
expensive warlike demonstrations. The
stipulation that Turkey may fortify the
Balkans amounts to nothing, as other
arrangements leave Russia g road open
to turn that line of defense at will, and
at vastly less expense. Nothing has
yet occurred. or is likely to occur,
changing the fact that Turkey hence
forth will be Russia's ally or vassal, and
not England's. The absolute security
for England, which Beacons6eld sets
out to obtain. is an impossible chimera.
Russia, in the person of the Turkish
vassal, still stands ON the Bosporus,
and will stand there after the British
forces have returned homeward. and
then her action or inaction will be de-
pendent upon Russia's will or policy
alone.
Prospects of IN Happy Ten animation
of the Congress.
BERLIN. July Z.
The fourteenth sitting of the Con-
gress was prolonged till half past FIVE.
The Batoum question. which had been
previously discussed by the Commits.
sion over which Prince Hohenlohe pre-.
sides, was the subject of deliberation,
bat no conclusion was reached.
The Congress has agreed in principle
to three points. namely: To maintain
the Dardanelles closed, as at present,
to ships of war; to cede Batoum to
Russia and to make it free port.
There remains the question of dis
mantling fortlficatlons and forbidding
Russians TO forlify the coast. The
anxiety to flush and the desire to main
tain the present agreement, however, is
SO strong that no doubt is felt that some
compromise will be found by the
Prince Hohenlohe Committee sufficing
to calm the apprehension of the Powers
without infringing the Cars dignity.
There are frequent interviews be-
tween Lord BeaconSfield and Gortcha-
kof. and the latter openly pays tribute
to Lord BeacoDsfeld's statesmanlike
qualities.
The relations of the Plenipoten-
tiaries are excellent. and the prospects
OF happy termination OF the Congress
on Thursday next are most hopeful.

DEACON BosrwIcK was missed on
Sunday from his accustomed pew in q
Detroit church. and in the afternoon he
was absent from the Sunday School,
of which he was Superintendent. The
reason was that his stealings from his
employer, after being continued nine
years, and amounting to $4,000, had
at last been discovered, and he had fed
from the city.

A CHANGE Of BASE.

The main force of the hostile Indians
is supposed to have gone Forth through
Eastern Oregon, toward Umatilla. 1t
is believed at military headquarters
that they intend to cross Snake river
into Idaho near the mouth of the
Salmon river and follow the trail of the
Nez Perces in the last campaign, with
which many of the Bannocks, who
acted as scouts under Howard year
ago, are familiar. This view of the
situation necessitates change
in the military programme, and several
companies of troops sent north from
this point two weeks ago, are now re.
turning. by forced marches to San
Francisco en- route to the head of navi.
cation on the Columbia river, where
they are expected to arrive in time to
prevent the Indians from escaping into
the Salmon River Mountains. The
Indians naturally avoid thickly settled
communities in. rsiding through the
country and as far as practicable follow
mountain ranges in their march north.
They are thus enabled to keep ahead of
the troops and to avoid conflicts with
the settlers in thickly inhabited valleys.
1t is thought by settlers in southeastern
Oregon that while the main force of
the hostiles may have gone north, small
bands of them are still west of Stein
Mountain, and the fact that settlers
have been killed in Warner Valley in
dicates the correctness of this belief, as
the Indians. though light footed, could
not possibly raid into Warner Valley
one day and swarm into John Day
Valley, $50 miles north, the next day.
1t is, therefore, probable that a part of
the hostiles are yet in the southern
part of Lake and Grant counties,
Oregon. just over the Nevada line. If
such is the fact. they will live during
the summer in that country, which af-
fords them every facility for doing SO,
and in the fall break up into small
bands aud join the friendly Indians.
The Piutes appear to be confident that
Egan's band of Malheur Indians have
left the hostiles and will be found by
Old Winnemucca III the Stein Mountain
or Juniper Lake country. Egan is
blood relation of Winnemucca, and it
10 probable that if he should find him
he will conceal the fact from the whites
until he is assured that he will not be
punished. II Naches and Jerry, who
saw Egan at the Barren Valley council,
were correctly informed as to that
chiefs intentions, he designed escaping
from the hostiles at the first oppor-
tunity, and it is not likely that he is
now with the Bannocks in Northern
Oregon.

THE FIRST STEP.

= A general desire having been express
ed of divesting the election of Delegates
to the Constitutional Convention of all
party politics, and OF selecting such men
as may best represent the Interests of the
conservative volers and the taxpayers of
ali parties, the undersigned hereby re-
quest the voters Of the Third Cong es-
Sional District to send delegates Ia Con
Vsntlon, TO be held at the city of Marys-
vile, on TuesGay, May l4th, 1878, for
the purpose of recon- mending Eight can
didates from the District TO the conserva-
tives voters of the State.
The Convention will be composed ofone
Delegate from each county, and one for
each 500 votes, or fraction thereof greater
than $50, cast for Members Of the As
sembly. Each county will select Dele
gates in any manner the voters may
choose, either through the machinery OF
party organizations or otherwise.
The above call is addressed to the
Voters Of the Third Congressional Dis
trict and is numerously signed by promi.-
nent citizens and taxpayers OF Lake, Co
lusa, Butte, Yolo and Sierra counties. 1t
is the first step in the direction Of non
partisan Convention and one which com
mends itself 20 the Intelligent voters ot
this District and the State at large. We
have heretofore given reasons why nomi-
nations should be thus made, and our po-
sition has met with the unanimous ap-
proval of the people Of this county. I'm
der the call, Trinity county will be en-
titled to send Three Delegates to the
Msrysville Convention, she having polled
at the election last year So votes for
Aemb Der of Assembly. We have con-
yersed with resdent members OF the
Democratic and Republican County
Committees and find them ell in favor Of
joint action in this matter.
In our advertising columns will bs
found a call for joint meeting Of the two
Committees, to make Arrangement. to
send Delegates to the Mnrysvile Con-
vention. 1t has also been suggested that
steps be taken 10 make nominations in
like manner for Delegates to the Consti

members Of both County Commuters
will attend the meeting in Weaverylle
next Wednesday afternoon and take such
harmonious action as will meet with the
approval of the people OF the county.

THERE Is plenty Of time 30 make good
and trustworthy selections, but experience
has shown that unless the people TAKE ac-
tion without delay it is Of no advantage
to them to have plenty of time in which
to act. Delegates to constitutional
Convention ought to be chosen for their
solid merits and not for orsuperfcisl talents.
Brilliant takers are not at all likely to be
the best kind Of Constitution makers, and
demsgogues are perfectly certain to -
the worst. Sober, steady, experienced
business men, and men with a stake in
the country, should be chosen in prefer
ence. Party politics ought to have no
influence in tho matter, since il can have
no bearing upon the work ofths Conven-
ton. There nsyer was more need of
careful choice than at the present time,
and every community, large or small,
will do well to begin looking about for it's
most available men.-Sa Sacramento Rec

An almost incredible story s related of
Marshal Canrobert. who was sent TO
Rome TO represent France at the funer-
al Of Victor Emmanuel and the -ccess-
ion to the throne Of Humberi. For the
expenses Of himself sui he was given
80, 600 francs, OF which he spent only l3, =
coo. On hi. return home he went to the
Foreign Office and handed to the Minister
Of that department the balance, amount
ing 20 1900 francs. The Minister re
fused to take the money, saying that
there WAS no precedent for such n thing;
that the outlay was made ard accounted
for, and that there was an end to H.. The
Marshal answered that it il was absolute
y necessary that somebody shoald steal
this money he would rather some one
else would do it, and asked for receipt.

A LIGHT MULATro TURNS TO JET
BLAcK.-One of those unHcsountn Bile
freaks Of nnture which puzzle the brain
OF the scienti.t, has just come TO notice in
West Baltimore, and furnishes the med
icsl fraternity in particular with food for
thought and theme for conversation.
The case ia that OF q cOlored woman about
forty-ive years Of sgs. who disd last
week in house on West Lexington street
from a complication OF diseases.
Eight years ago, this woman was
light mulatto, and at the time of her
death, according TO the testimony of sew

she was black II, midnight. The change
during this period of eight years was so
gradual, but SO certain withal, that the
family with whom she lived, could resd-
ly perceive the color n- it deepensd from
light yellow into shining black.
The whole system OF the woman un-
derwent complete trsnsformstion.-

who used to attract the notice Of persons
on account OF her size, che dwindled
away into ths thin, spare, md angular
