A Promised Scan slRl.

BALTIMORE, July ga dispatch
from Washington to the "Suu' says:
1t is limited at the Department o
State that Col. Mosby will resign his
position as Consul OF Hong Kong mex
fall, and that his return is likely ia
open up again the whole scandal of tn.
Chinese mission and the Hong Kong
and Shanghai consulates. 1t seems
that soon after MosLy got in China be
reached the conclusion that forty
thousand dollars in consular fees which
should have been turned over to the
government had not found their wav
in that direction, and that at least
$500, 600 OF the fees collected in the last
seventeen years, under the law regulat-
ing Chinese emigrants to procure the
consul's certificate before embarkiug,
has nevec beea turned into the treas
ury. These charges Mosby, it seems,
sent to the Secretary of State in the
form of dispatch, nearly four months
ago, and ii is said at the Department
OF State that as yet no reply has been
cent Mosby by the Secretary. The
failure of Mr.. Evarts to promptly re-
spond to Mosby's charges it is thought
has led the latter 10 believe that his
course has not b-en approved of, and
hence his desire to resign. 1t is under
stood that Gen. Grant reviewed the
whole situation while in China, and
that Secretary Evarts will take no ac.
tion in the premises until Grants re-
turn, when he will be able to learn his
views ON the subject.

old cOlored girl from Yardleyville,
Yesterday afternoon the large barn of
Mr.. Brown, filled with hay and grain,
burned to ashes. A fine driving nag
was so badly burned that it had to be
killed. Suspicion pointed to the do
mestic, Maggie Gibbs. In the evening
she was arrested and giver, a hearing
before George W. Cunningham, $50.
She confessed to having burned the
barn, assigning as a reason that she
wanted to see a big fire. Constable
Copeland, of Newtown, escorted her to
Doylestown and lodged her in Jail.
The girl manifested throughout re-
markable Indifference, except in regard
to the horse. She said: W didu't

Another Ouiraxe by Iud{aus.

A despatch from Fort Peck, NJ. r..
says: At the Mouth of Mussel Shell,
Col. Iges, with four companies of the
Seventh Infantry is stationed. The
vicinity Of this camp was formerly the
favorite crossing for hostilss going
north and south. On the 2Oth the
band of hosti(es, supposed to be Sioux,
were going north above Mussel Shell
with large number of stolen horses.
Lieut.. Wrigh., with detachment,
went in pursuit, and kept the trail uu-
til they were oven taken. After sharp
skirmish two Indians were killed, the
rest flying to the Bad Lands for refuge.
There is no cavalry at Col. Iges' camp,
although il seems to be an important
point for iutercepting rowing bands
Lambert, the we'll knewn intercepter,
scout aud guide, his wife and four chill
d. were killed Tuesday by Sioux.-
They had been out to Yankton Camp
and were within six miles of Wolf
Po'at on return when attacked. Nine
persons IN the party were killed. A
little girl has been carried away to
captivity. A little son of Lambert's,
who was ahead of the party and ran
back to look for them, was lanced
through the body. He has been
brought in and may recover.

Brooks, Me-, July %.
MEssRs. EDIroRs Be kind enough
to allow me to say through your valua-
BILE paper that the committee of investi-
CATION acted unfairly and unjustly and
their course has been without parallel
in the history of this or any other
country. Christ was permitted to de-
fend himself. Paul was permitted to
answer the charges preferred against
him even murderers are entitled TO be
heard; but in this case they have in
my absence drumlned up their charge,
and without having voice or being
heard on my part they have rendered
their verdict. Now if the committee
think they have annihilated me they
have made a sad mistake. The Moral
Suasion Club had better look after its
members, some of whom are known aid
read of all men. They above all had
better keep still. Shame on any nau
O. set of men that would turn and rend
the friend that through Gods help
pulled them out of the fire. Now | wish
to brand the accusation that | was in
toxicated in New York OH March 26th,
as mean and contemptible fasehood.

knee-deep in neighboring pond

filed with water and the pickerel kick

A few months ago, us you are aware, u
democratic congress determined to repeal
certain unconstitutional, obnoxious and
oppressive laws by making certain appro
prla3ions, conditional on the repeal OF
those laws. The method they adopted
was one which had been sanctioned by
repeated usage by the republicans, when
the latter were supreme In congress.
Democratic leaders then expressed their
determination to remain firm. Knowing
they were in the right they were bound to
maintain IT, The republicans who had
enacted the laws in question for the basest
partisan ends, saw that II the democrats
could not be dissuaded from their work
that their (the republicans) chances for
counting in Hayess successor would not
be worth u picayune; and hence they
raised their usual cry of revolution, etc.
/ am sorry to say our representatives did
nOU SLuUu Vic SuOI NVlIh u Ccht' Aui"~
dately after the hue and cry Of revolution
had been raised those representatives be-
gan to cravenly bow down and apologet-
ically to beg the country to believe they
did not intend to stop the wheels OF gov
eminent. This cowardice emboldened,
of course, the stalwarts, who at once set
themselves to work bracing up the spinal
column of the defacto president. The
latter vetoed. He kept vetoing. The
democratic congress whitfield down their
patterns and keep at work whiting them
down, and the probability is that they
will finally surrender Internationally, as
they did when Tilden, having been elect
ed, was allowed to be pushed aside for a
fraud to be counted in. Such cowardice
deserves to be followed by defeat. The
democratic leaders, who prove recreant,
however, ought to be the ones to suffer
by the defeat, while the rank and file Of
the democracy ought not to be punished
for the cowardice of others.
