BAKER CRY, Ogn., July 10.
The Umatilla Indians under Forsyth
struck the hostile camp Wednesday night
about two miles and a half from Stark's

and 60 or 70 head Of horses. The hostiles

The Nez Perez were much incensed at
Haines, and it was with much difficulty
that the white scouts and Lieutenant Will

efficient service, and now they will scarcely
continue any longer in the service. 1t is

AN OPINION.

General Butler is reported as saying,
"Any man who is to be President had bet
ter not look for the Office, because, although
it NAV seem p~aradoxical, the nearer o man
gets to it the further he is off from it,"
The truth Of this remark has found Illus
tration on several occasions. Webster,
CLAY. Cass, Calhoun, Seward and Douglas
stood face TO face with the Presidency for
wears, vet never attained to it. Polk, Tay-
ior and Pierce, men of less influence,
neither of whom had been prominent be-
fore the country in craftsmanship, bore off
the honors easily. 1t has been latterly
men of negative rather than of positive
qualities who AVE been the most success
full politicians.-San Francisco CaH.
Yes, non-committal nincompoops are
usually available in politics, but there is
not n of them in ten thousand who in
public life is worth turning over in the
road. He who is outspoken on every
subject of public concern is the man of
sterling worth and honesty Of purpose.
We have never known a man in the Ne
vada Legislature who was continually on
the fence that was not for sale. The man
who Identifies himself promptly with one
side or the other of a contest is invariably
honest. The man who never has his
'smind made up" in nine cases out of ten
is willing to be convinced, either through
the instrumality Of outside influence, or
coin. There is no installing them, and it
is precisely these vascillating, easy-going,
good-for-nothings who are responsible for
the greater part of the bad legislation in
this country.

ZONES AT w~INNEMUCCA.

Senator Jones received o cordial greet
ing 1t winnemuccs yesterday. The peo-
pie, irrespective Of party, participated in
tba demonstration. 1t seems TO have been
smost hearty welcome. Whistles screamed,
abe snvils doomed, and . brass band dis
coursed enlivening airs. The Senator was
introduced to the assemblags by Judge
Bonniield, Q Democrat, and made a short
speech, briefly abiding to his course in
the Senate Of the United States on the
demonstration of silver, and other ques-
tions Of interest to this coast. This enthu-
siastic greeting from the people Of the
banner Democratic county Of the State
must have been peculiarly gratifying to the
Senator, demonstrating as it does that he
Is held in the highest esteem by all classes
for his effective advocacy Of the paramount
interest Of Nevada on the floor Of the Sem
ste at the National Capital. 1t shows,
further, that he has q deep hold on
the popular heart in this State, and that in
the coming election he is to constitute the
most important factor tending to Repub-
lioan success. II is especially fortunate for
the Republican party in Nevada that Jones
returns t. enter the list for the succession.
Without him there would not be mourners
enough left to give the corpse decent sep
ulcher. With him q partial victory is rem
dered possible.

RED CLOUD AND SPOTTED TAN

Red Cloud and Spotted Tail announce
themselves and their tribes very much OPP
posed to the locations they o occupy,
near the Missouri river. Last year they
were exceedingly opposed to going there.
but were induced to go because assured
that 1t was impossible, on account Of the
lateness Of the season, to transport sup
plies to their then location in the noun
tains. They say that the section they oc-
cupy is unhealthy. They offered that OBJ
lection last year. Red Cloud desires to
go two hundred miles farther west for q
permanent location, and Spotted Tail
thirty or forty. Why not let them go, as
they appear willing that the extra cost OF
transporting their supplies shall be de-
Quoted from their appropriations? Ii these
supplies shall be regularly furnished them
hereafter, according to the Governments
treaty, they will not be likely ever again
to go upon the war-path. But if such men
as Livingstone, the agent, whose windles
have lately been exposed, should DO ap-
pointed to cheat and swipdle them, they
would be something more than human If
they did not kill him, and then go on the
the war-path. Shall we ever have a de-
cent and honest Indian Department and
honest agents?

SAN Francisco, July 10.
In the Police brokerage case, to-day,
Henninger, one of the parties to the
fraud, was placed on the stand; he laid the
whole blame of the affair on Bachelor,
who he held to be the prime mover in the
matter, and who led the witness to believe
that he could control nominations to posi-
tons on the force. Counsel for defense,
who placed Henninger on the stand, moved
to strike out the testimony of his own wit
ness, but the court decided that it should
be received. The case then went to argu-
ment.
In the Nineteenth District Court to-day
Judge Wheeler rendered an important de-
cision in the Oakland case, involving over
SO, 000, 900. The suits were brought by
Theodore Leroy against a large number Of
the residents of East Oakland, and the de-
cision which was given for the defendants
embraced three suits. The cases are
founded on what is commonly known as
the Bienie title, which consists in two
deeds from Antonio NJ. Peralta to Robert
Bienie, dated respectively, July IS, 1860,
and March "a, 1862.

prosecution excepted to the reporters
statement that More had been found with
the juror, Prince, in the presence of the
sheriff.
Mr.. Raymond insisted on his statement
of the fact that he did not believe there
was anything wrong on the part Of the
juror, but More should not have been
there.
Hartley Sprague testified that his father
1.-THE prisoner) was at homeo on the night of
the murder.
Mrs. Churchill testified that her husband
and two Of the prisoners were at home thai
night, the latter being quite sick.
Mrs. Hunt, the wife of another prisoner,
testified that her husband had to get up on
| the fatal night to drive the stock of his
unfenced barley field, a circumstance
which often happened in that dry year.
Another daughter of prisoner Sprague
testified that there was no water in a Ger
tain slough where Jones had sworn there
was.
The chances now are that the case will
not reach the jury before Monday night a.
the earliest. Taxpayers are becoming ap-
palled at the probable size of the bills by

A Portland dispatch says From late
dispatches received from Umatilla it is
learned that the Indians are fortified IL
miles from the agency, between Mckay
and Cottonwood creeks. Colonel Sanford's
column is approaching them from the
south, Captain Miles from the east, Colonel
Bernard from the west, and the infantry
from the agency. These forces are ex-
pected to give the hostiles battle soon.
The following dispatch, just received
from Cello, dated the 18th, says: The
steamer Northwest left Grande Ronde

AN EPISODE IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
THE SECRET EXPEDITION FROM
INDIA.
A Little Bout Between the Marquis
OF Salisbury and Lord Derby.

NEW York, July 10.
A Tribune London special has the fol-
lowing account Of the episode in the House
Of Lords last evening. Earl Derby said
he had left the Cabinet because the Gov
eminent had resolved upon sending q Sc
cret expedition from India to occupy the
Cyprus and Syrian ports against the
win Of the Sultan, If necessary. The
Marquis Of Salisbury, in replying, very
emphatically said that the statement was
untrue. Upon this there was great uproar
among the members, many Of whom rose
to their feet, whereupon Lord Salisbury
substituted the word unauthentic in place
Of untrue. Earl Derby reiterated his re-
marks, when the House adjourned amidst
the widest confusion.

discussion Of the Cabinet scene in the
House Of Lords, surpassed in brillianey
and animation anything within the

Chamber was densely crowded. The pass

Derby was very sharp. Lord Salisbury

know how much the public would endure,
so he gave his story in broken doses. SO
far as his lord S~alisbury's) memoir
served him, Lord Derby's statement was
untrue.

Carathcodori Pasha raises difficulties in
negotiations with the Austrian Govern
ment, relative to the occupation of the
Turkish provinces, and he insists that the
Sultan's sovereignty over Bosnia and Her

duration and extent of occupation should
be previously settled. Neither the date OF
the departure of Gen. Philippovich, nor
the movement Of the army across the
frontier, have yet been fixed, on account of
the pending deliberations. 1t is under

informed that the postponement of the
Austrian occupation beyond a certain date
