lar fate.
Among the interested spectators Of Miles
fight were large number of Umatillas, who
took sides with neither party, but appeared
10 enjoy the sport. It is said that a number
of young men belonging to this tribe, under
Wenapsnoot, have joined the hostiles. Col.
Coornyor reports that the young warriors
have passed beyond his control.
AT 10o'clock this morning Col. Forsythe,
with his command, was at Weston, having
been ordered to the scene Of Yesterday q
conflict, and was moving as rapidly as his
horses could travel.
The forces now in the Umatilla country
amount TO 700 men, and it is thought will
be sufficient 10 bring the hostiles to terms in
few days, not t~i,hstanding reports to the
contrary. 1t is certain that portion of the
hostiles have succeeded in crossing the Co.
lumbia, and the danger, so far as the future
is concerned, is with them.
Several men have Just come into town
and report that they were driven out of the
mountains by Indians, who appear to be in
large numbers.
A volunteer company has been organized
here, and have placed themselves at the dis
posal Of Gen. Terry.

1t is understood that the premier wilfmake

Thursday night and that ifan appeal to the
country is extended, notification of that
step will be given by him in the course of

The conservatives are preparing to give
him and Lord Salisbury very enthusiastic
reception. The scene at Charing Cross will
be like royal reception. The wisdom of
liberals in suspending their judgeme upon
Lord Beaconsfield's policy till more is
known. is confirmed by kilograms, which

revealed arrangements made with France
No sectson of the liberal party is in hurry

that q larger proportion of the opposition
is favorable to the government policy than
was first suspected.

A number OF workmen are now employed in
repairing the Charity Hospital. The work
was commenced in September, 1877, and,
should an appropriation be voted, the buildings
will be In good order next summer. The walls

To the Honorable Mayor and Administrators

To the Honorable Mayor. and Administrators
Of the City OF New Orleans:
Gentlemen During the month of August,
1876, the undersigned, together with about 700
holders on Capal street, presented to your
honorable body a petition and protest against
granting privilege to the City Railroad Com
pany to run a steam train OF cars upon Canal
street. In our protest we set forth in,iy all
the evils and annoyances which we could fore
see would be entailed upon us and our proper
ty and rights as resident citizens All the
evils and annoyances which we put forth IN
our petition have been realized ten fold.
For a period of nine months we have quietly
submitted TO this most terrible annoyance and
nuisance, and we most respectfully ask tilat
YOU will now take up our petition, rescind the
privilege granted to this steam railroad COM
pany and force them back to either Claiborne
or Basin streets. We most respectfully re-
mind you that by their charter they have no
right on this street with steam train OF ears.
| Their charter gives them the simple right to
run single cars drawn by horse or mule, at a
speed Of four miles per hour, instead o. when
| they run through the very centre Of an ave,
nue. already overcrowded with horse cars and
other vehicles uSurping the entire control OF
the street to the exclusion OF the people OF the
city and residents upon the avenue. Inc rat
| lie and noise of these long steam trains oyel
light horse car rails, together with the con
slant ringing of bells, the pulling and whistle
! of the engine, Is most intolerable nuisance
! and enough to drive every resident from his
home and to prevent others from locating or
the street. A family might live more quietly
| in the Grand Central depot OF the New Iori
| Central and Hudson Railroad than upon Cana
street if this nuisance is to be continued
There are already twelve horse car railroad
companies on Canal street, between Royal ant
Rampant starting a car every five minutes
making 100 cars passing and repasslng ever ea;
hour, and to impose steam train OF tel
cars moving every fifteen minutes to 1
o'clock at night is an imposition beyond ou
endurance. The single horse cars running
from Royal street to Claiborne street woult

desirous of going to the Lake. Although thi
might not be SO profitable to the stock

BASE BALL.

The long looked for game OF ball, between

at Ogden Park, and was won by the Stars by

Next Sunday the Lees and Stars will cross

by the addition of Collens and Erman, late OF
the Towards. Collens will do the pitching
for the Lees, and the knowing ones think the
Lees will defeat the Stars. The Stars how

a stubborn fight.
