New YORK, November 20.-The Eoening
Post says: An important piece of news in
Wall street to-day was the announcement of
the fact that the Atchison, Topeka s. Santa
Fe Railroad, rich Boston company, had
completed an arrangement with the st. Louis
s. San Francisco Railroad in pursuance of
which a railroad is to be built from Santa Fe
to San Francisco under the old charter of the
Atlantic s. Pacific Railroad. This charter is
still valid and the land grant carried with it
conveys 100000 acres. Bonds are to be
issued to the amount of $25, ZOO, 900, secured
by these lands and the road and guaranteed
by the St. Louis s. San Francisco and the At
Gibson, Topeka s. Santa Fe railroads. These
bonds have been placed already. The recent
heavy advances in St. Louis railroad securi-
ties are explained by the news of this ar

The Bf.MeCallic Standard.

New YORK, November 20.-Judge VIM.
D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, lectured before
the Bullion Club this evening on bi-metalism.
He was listened to by large audience of
financial and moneyed men. His auditors
were surprised at the conservative character
of his views and the array of figures by
which he showed that silver and gold together
afforded a less fuctuating standard of pay
ment than either of the metals could. He
portrayed by official figures the effect upon
British exports and upon production and
trade of stationary stock of money, con-
trasted with the years in which the stock
was increasing under the influence of Cali
fornia and Australia, and with the years
since Germany forced a contraction of stock
by demonetizing her silver. He predicted
the early reconciliation of silver by inter-
national treaties to which England and Ger
many will be parties, and said that such &C.
ton was essential to the preservation of the
credit and peace of many nations.

Meeting of the Society OF the Army of tn,
Cumberland,

Meeting of the Society OF the Army of the
Cumberland.
WASHINGTON, November 2O.-The Society
of the Army of the Cumberland had Q session
to-day, Captain McCrary of Columbus, Ohio,
presiding. General Sherman read letters from
Mrs. E. B. Anderson and her daughter Eva,
denying the charges of disloyalty against
General Robert Anderson, and asking the
society to take some action in the matter.
General Sherman then offered the following
resolution, which was unanimously adopted !:
Res0lved, That the heartfelt sympathy of
the Society of the Army of the Cumberland
is hereby rendered to the widow and daughter
of the first commander cf the Army of the
Cumberland that the society will ever bear
in honorable memory his pure and noble
character and his heroic devotion to his coun-
try, and that they ever regret that his ILL.,
health in 1861 prevented him from reaping
the fruits of his valor and courage in the
cause of the Union, and it will ever be re-
membered that to him the Army of the Cum
herland owes great debt for having sup
piled them with the leadership of General
Thomas, and that nothing but poverty pre-
vents them from erecting suitable testimon-
ial over the honored grave of General Robert
Anderson at West Point. FL IT'D
General jeff. G. Davis paid tribute to the
patriotism and loyalty Of General Anderson.
Nobody who had ever seen that soldier at
Fort Sumter would question his loyalty. Co.
lumbia had made no mistake when she had
sent down Robert Anderson to ''let slip the
dogs of war;" [Cheers.] ..-.
Telegraphic greetings were ordered sent to
Generals Rosencrans and Sheridan. Alexan-
der Ramsey, Jr., offered resolution extend
ing an affectionate greeting to the widow and
daughter of General Robert Anderson, assur-
ing them that any insinuation against General
Anderson needed no contradiction from the
Army of the Cumberland, which was unani-
mously adopted. The following officers were
chosen for the ensuing year:
President General Phil Sheridan.
Vice Presidents-Gen Underwood, Mass
Gen. Barnum, N. Y; Gen. GARNER, N. j.;
Gen. Negley, Pa; Gen. Duffield, Mich.
Col. Hobson, KY; Captain E. E. Erhum,
Tenn; Gen. Morgan. Ill. Gen. Streight,
Ind. ; Gen. Meyer, Ohio; Col. Johnston,
Wis. Col. Conover, Mo. Gen. Martin KS;
Capt. Wood, Mimi, Capt. Jelleck, Iowa.
Recording Secretary-Capt. Steele.
Corresponding Secretary-Gen. List.
Toledo was selected for the next meeting.
The thanks Of the society were voted Stanley
Matthews, Judge Macarthur and Gen. A. G.
McCook. The author of the Thomas statue
was presented to the Society, and the meeting
adjourned.

DENVER, November 2O.-A special to tht
Times from Leadville says: At about two
o'clock this morning forty or fifty masked
men proceeded to the county Jail, headed by
Sheriff Watson, who was urged forward by
six pistols, held in the determined grasp OF
nearly as many men. At the muzzle of the
pistols Sheriff Watson was compelled to open
the doors, when dozen men rushed in and
overpowered Deputy Sheriffs johnson and
Miller, and proceeded to take Charles Stew
art, the foot pad, and Ed. Frodsham. who fig
ured largely in the lot jumping business. The
captors were inexorable and merciless and
launched their victims into eternity suspended
to the beams of new building in front of
the Jail, now being erected. Frodsham strug-
gled furiously, and his face bore the marks of
agony as he hung suspended to rafter.
When his request was denied to be allowed
to write letter to his wife, he made des-
perate effort to escape the fate which befel
him. To the body of Frodsham was pinned
placard reading as follows:
Notice-To all lot thieves, bunco steerers,
foot pads, thieves and chronic bondsmen for
the same and sympathizers of the above class
of criminals is our commencement
and this shall be your fate. We mean busi-
ness. Let this be your last warning, particn-
larly Cooney, Adams, Connors, Collins, Ho-
gan, Ed. Burns, Ed. Champ, P. A. Kelley,
and great many others who are well known
to this organization. We are seven hundred

management, and read the resolutions pro.
viding for the organization of legislation
commission to act on the subject for award
ing and furnishing of supplies to the lowest
bidder for the ensuing year, furnishing
knowledge to the stockholders of the results
of explorations with diamond drills, etc. The
resolutions were adopted by acclamation. In
regard to Kearney's proposal to organize q
meeting. there was no attempt at atinterruption.
The remarks of the speakers were frequent
ly interrupted by applause, but it was evident
that there was strong party present in op-
position to those who called the meeting,
this was evinced on several occasions, nota-
oily on the vote called for by Dean as to
whether Flood had pursued the course of an
honest, public spirited man. Although the
majority seemed to be with the speaker, it
would be difficult to determine whether the
opposition to any extent consisted of the
solid men present or whether it was zlainly
confined to Kearney's cohorts. MI.
Deans location of the new bonanza coincid-
ed with the general opinion of Pine street
heretofore expressed, but his failure to give
his authority for his statements naturally
tended to weaken their force. The meeting
at least proved that there is a very large and
respectable element in the community strong
ly hostile to the manner in which stock and
mining affairs have been conducted for years
past, and are eager for reform.

Annual Report Of the Commissioner Of

@~ . Indian Affairs. ''s
WASHINGTON, November 20.-The annual
report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
has been submitted. 1t shows that during the
past year there has been among the Indians in
general steady advance in civilization which
has had no parallel in any previous year: In
this the Ogallalla and Brule Sioux have taken
the lead and their progress during the last
eighteen months has been simply marvellous.
1t is no longer question whether the Indians
will work. Those who are anxious to do 80
are now largely in the majority. From all,
except the five civilized tribes in the Indian
Territory, there is a call for lands. In several
there is a largely increased desire for houses
and agricultural implements, wagons, etc.,
and for citizen clothing. The following table
shows the substantial results of Indian labor
during the year. They are much larger than
ever before, and but for the severe drought
in the Indian Territory and among the Nav
ajo's the increase in crops would have been
much greater, especially the corn crop, which
is less than that of last year:

sion but there remains the great tug of
war on tho Army bill and the Legislative
bill. IT these fail there will be an extra
session. They can be passed only by n
compromise, OF which there are as yet no
symptoms. Each party seems to be playing
u game of bluff and bravado, and it is
quite uncertain to what extent this will be
carried. 1t is foolish contest on both
Sides and especially on the side of the
democrats The republicans would prob
ably yield the test oath and the
presence of troops at the polls If
the democrats would consent to retain the
supervisors of elections. Inasmuch as no
supervisors can be appointed this year.
when no members of Congress are to be
chosen, it is mere blind zealotry for the
democrats to stand out on this point when
it will be in their power to repeal the Fed
eral Election law as early as they please in
the next regular session. 1t is of no conse-
quence to repeal it this year. since, by Its
own terms, it is not applicable to the elec-
tions of this year.

Wipe It Out.

A correspondent, whose letter appears in
to-days HERALD, calls upon the Catholics
of the United States to raise by subscrip-
ton sufficient sum of money to pay all
tho pecuniary liabilities OF Archbishop
Purcell, and urges Cardinal McCloskey to
head such movement and give it the adj
vantage of his sanction and cooperation.
The writer Of the communication cites the
case of the failure of Catholic book
seller of Boston some years ago, to whom
the poor Catholics Of New England
had intrusted their small savings,
which were swept away in the bankruptcy.
Archbishop Williams. recognizing tho fact
that the money had been placed in the
bankrupts hands by reason of his trusted
position in the Church, deemed it proper
to take charge Of nm arrangement for the
gradual payment of the creditors. COM
paratively small amount being involved the
money was obtained in the immediate
locality; but as Archbishop Purcell's lia-
bilities are so large tho movement for their
payment, if undertaken at oil, must be par
ticipated in by Catholics in all parts of the
United States. Even then it is doubtful If
the enormous sum of six million dollars
can be raised. Our correspondent
insists that the case Of the unfortunate
Archbishop Purcell appeals much more
strongly to tho Cardinal than the New Eng
land case did to the Archbishop of Boston,
and expresses confidence that the appeal Of
the head Of the Church in America, if made
will meet with hearty response.
The unfortunate event at Cincinnati can
not be too deeply deplored. 1t not only
brings sorrow and distress to q vast number
OF poor people, but it is calculated to
impair the useful influence of the Cath
olic clergy, to place q weapon in the
hands of sco1fers which they will not
hesitate to use against all religions and to
leave stain upon the Church which will
deface it for many years to come. No one
will question the expediency of raising the
whole amount OF money and wiping out the
scandal by the payment of every claim
against the unfortunate Archbishop if it
have their own troubles and their own
wants. The congregations are poor. Few
of them can afford to give large sums Of
money for any purpose, and even in
New York, where the Catholic Church is
we'll supported, the demand upon its charity
for homo relief is very heavy. We sincerely
wish that the whole amount Of the Arch
bishops Liabilities could be raised and the
unfortunate occurrence wiped out alto
gether. Still it might be found more prac-
ticable to select the most needy of the suf-
ferers by the calamity and strive at least to
make good their losses. We do not doubt,
however, that our correspondents sugges-
ton will receive the earnest consideration
of the Cardinal, and We may safely rely
upon his judgment and sense of duty to
reach correct conclusion. The deplorable
event will not be without some slight rec
ompense il it serves to put stop entirely,
and by the authoritative mandate Of the
Church, to everything in the shape of
ecclesiastic savings banks or financial
trusts.

The WEATHER.-Thc area of high barometer
which overlay the Middle Atlantic, New Eng
land States, Canada and the lakes during the
early part of yesterday is moving steadily east
ward into the ocean OFT tho New England coast
The southern area, which enclosed with the
northern one the development of low barometer
In the Ohio Valley, has been reduced in cx.
tent and influence and is also moving ocean
ward in a southcasterly direction. The dcpres-
sion itself has crossed the Allcghanies toward
Cape Hattcras, attended by rain and snow,
which fell ut and south of Philadelphia on the
coast. The disturbance has maintained its or
ganization in singular manner, with marked
decrease OF central pressure, and we will
watch it's progress over tho Gulf Stream
with much interest, as such develop
ments arc of comparatively very rare
occurrence. The important weather feature s
the advance of depression from the Northwest,
evidently that which recently passed tho
northern coast of Oregon and Vancouver's
island. The gradients for southeast and east
winds in advance of this centre are very steep,
and the progress of the storm immediately be-
hind tho high barometer now leaving the con-
tinent gives promise of very bad weather
over the lakes, Canada and the Middle and
New England States during the next three
days. Temperatures have risen quickly in tho
northwest and central districts 10 as to make n
"brcak up" of the ice in the rivois and "a uori.
sral thaw that must result in heavy frcshcts.
This. with the gales that have set in, will
probably interrupt communications generally
throughout tho Northwest AS the same in

precautions against frcshets and floods should
be taken along all tho rivers from the eastern
slope of the Alleghanies. The depression which
we predicted for tho English coasts the / st
