Delegate DOran, OF SummerhiH, moved
that the convention take a new departure
and proceed to a secret ballot. The meaning
of this is popularity supposed to be that each
delegate should be permitted to write the
name of the candidate of his choice on piece
of paper and deposit it in a hat.
Delegate O'DOnnell thought that there was
nonccesSity for such underhand proceedings,
and moved that another ballot be taken
The motion Of the latter gentleman, on a call
for the yeas and nays, prevailed, by the fol-
lowing vote

Delegate Taylor, from White township, in

Linton and his friends had called on him
prior to adjournment and demanded his
views with reference to the number of votes
required to make a nomination and he
went on to say that in accordance with the
rules of the Democratic party of Cambria
county, 81 votes must be cast if not to nOmi-
nate, at least to confirm the work. or there
could be no nomination The friends of
Kirby, who were present in fun force, indig-
nantly repudiated this ruling of the chair,

ued encrDachments ON their reservation are
the primary causes. The Indian officials,
unable to resist the pressure Of Western
Representatives, have been ~endeavoring to
effect their removal to the Indian Territory,
hence the executive ard legislative branches
of the government have resorted to the usu-
al means to force upon them the surrender
Los Pinos Utes came to Washington to ask
payment for the territory cut out of their
part of the reservation IN Southwestern Col
orado, and were impatient at the delay. The
Commissioner explained to them that until
the Great Council made an appropriation
they could not receive the sum proposed by
the peace commissioner sent out last year.
Congress was then in session, but the re-
commentator for the payment of the sum
specified by the commissioner was not heed
ed. To add to the a%ggravating causes, a
number of spectators and prospectors, who
had been on the northern part of the reser-
walton, came to persuade Congress to dis
regard the treaty obligations and declare
the reservation open to settlement. They
brought with them fine specimens of rich
gold and silver ore, and argued that the
sooner we had an Indian war and the saw
ages were exterminated the better it would
be for the country, and the frontiersmen
particularly. Seeing that serious conse-
quences would follow the invasion Of their
domain, Schurz ask Congress for authority
to enter into negotiations for the cession to
the United States of all the reservation of
the Utes that it might be thrown open to
settlers and miners. and this request was
also disregarded. The scene of Thornburg's
disaster is on the edge of the reservation, at
Milk creek, which runs into PaintedsRock
creek. Thornhurg was formerly stationed
in San Francisco and Alaska. Agent.Meek-
er is a Colorado man.

GENERAL NEWS.
Helena, Oct. 5.

From a Rawlins dispatch of Oct. LIST we
have the following particulars Of Capt.
Paynes late engagement with the Utes
About 8 O'Clock a. m. Rankin discovered
fresh Iudian signs, and having arrived at "a
canyon through which the road passed,
which would afford an excellent opportuni-
ty for ambush, he led the command around
him. By this movement he saved the lives
of the command, for on arriving on top of
the hill, discovered the Indians in ambush,
on either side of the canyon through which
the road passed. Thornbnrg formed his men
in line and waited the coming attack. He
was repeatedly urged to fire on the Indians,
but persistently refused to do so, saying
that his orders would not justify an attack.
Two Indians now rode up to within a hun
dred yards, dismounted, and with a savage
yell, fired, shooting Captain Payne through
the arm. At this signal the Indians gave
a war-whoop, and the battle commenced.
Thornburg now found that he was sur
rounded. He ordered a charge, which he
calamity led in person, and succeeded in
cutting his way out, but when within about
SOC yards of his wagons he tell dead, with
two bullet holes through his brain. Cap
tain Payne now took command, and the
battle was carried on until 8 o'clock p. M,
the troops using the wagons and animals as
breastworks. The Indians fell. back a short
distance and went into camp. During the
