Mir. EDrToR-Many of your readers, who remember Mir. Lament Street, an old resident of Goshen, will be pained to learn of his sud- den death, on Friday last, by his own hands. Three years ago. it will be remembered he was placed tn the asylum at Trenton. being unmistakably deranged, where he remained twenty-two months. After his discharge. he returned to Franklinville, ten miles north of Vineland, to find his farm which had been rented, run down. and his business suffering from neglect.
 Previous to his being sent to the asylum, and notwithstanding the watchfulness of his friends, he had been inveigled into purchasing property in the city of Camden, on which he made large payment. During his confne- ment, judgment was rendered against him on his bond, and after his release he compromised by paying another considerable sum, lesing both money and houses. The thing was a fraud'from the beginning to the end. The par ties in Camden had been notified of his de- rangement previously, but Mir. Street persist ntly denied it, and settled the matter him. self.
 In October last he contracted second mar riage, and commenced life anew and very pleas. antly. But the circumstances to which have alluded preyed upon his mind. He was wor- ried by the loss of his property, and at length seemed to realize that some mental ca lamity had possessed him. He told his wife 
 that he was afraid heshould be deranged again and seemed to dread return to the asylum. No apprehension was felt however of his com. mitting violence upon himself When he left

The sensation of the week is the letter of Mrs. Iiiton acknowledging the truth of the charge made against herself and Mir. Beecher ny her husband in the great trial. We cannot but regret the revival of this monstrous scandal. Those who believed Mir. Beecher guilty require no further evidence !; and those who believe him innocent will not be convinced by any statement Mrs. Tilton can make. Still. we onght not to blame this most unfortunate wo. man for telling the truth at last.

Speaking of the improvements of Washing ton City by the Shepherd Ring, the Springfield Republican says, "One fourth was robbed, an- other flung away, and we have left permanent improvements worth, say ten millions, and a debt of twenty" Undoubtedly Shepherd was more intelligent and less selfish ''boss" than Tweed ; but why may we not havehonest men to rule us, instead of thieves? Here are spec linen results of existing politics. In Democrat ic New York, with an ignorant and poverty stricken mob of voters at his back, Boss Tweed stole nearly all the money that came within his reach. In Republican Washington, with a more intelligent population to deal with, Boss Shepherd squandered and stole but half Is it not the simple truth that the boss" of either party, will always steal and squander when he is not closely watched Would it not save 8 vast deal of money to dismiss all our political ''bosses" and give menlike Hayes and Schurz, who are trying to stop stealing wherever they find it, an earnest support?

San Francisco, Aug. "A Portland
dispatch says: The following dispatch
was received here from Lewiston July
3lst, via Umatilla, Aug. 2: White Bird
is on the forks of Clear creek, above
Kamiath, and has possession of the old
battle ground. He has about forty
warriors with him. The Kamiath
Indians have interviewed White Bird
to ascertain his intentions. He de-
clared he will not surrender. but has
come to get what belongs to him. The
Indians are well armed and partially
mounted. They have been in Elk City
mountains for weeks. The excitement
on the Kamas Prairie is great. Sixty
volunteers are in readiness to proceed
against them. Major Hancock has
advised little delay until more can be
ascertained of White Birds intentions.

Bird is backed by some of Sitting Bulls
men who are scattered through the
mountains. There are no troops in
this section that can make a stand
against even White Birds band OF
forty. The volunteers will be COM
PEELED to do fighting, If any is done.
