A Review of the Case.


New York, Aug. 27.-The Erening
Post says that the San Francisco Chron-
icle, speaking for the DeYoungs, exten-
yates its publication against Kalloch's IS
father on the plea that there was kind
Of clerical blunder In its office. Never
theless it does not appear that it re-
tracts the obnoxious and slanderous
dispatch, but on the contrary, one of
the DeYoung's is quoted as saying,
that after the publication, the charge
had to stand. This is an exalted notion
Of journalistic responsibility, that a
false and slanderous charge, admitted
by culpable carelessness into the col
umns of a newspaper, is to go uncon-
tradicted simply because it has been
spread abroad in type. If the De-
Young's can offer no better excuse
than this, the best advice for them is
to keep quiet. On the contrary, how
ever, there is reprinted this morning
from the Chronicle two or three columns
Of pleas In abatement, in which all the
nauseous details that led up to the
tragedy are rehearsed to justify the
deed. The theory that slander is to be
punished by cold blooded murder at the
hands Of journalistic desperado,
would be novel one in an enlightened
community, but in San Francisco there
seems to be no moral restraint.
San Francisco, Aug. 27.-Kalloch's
condition is reported by his physicians
a. satisfactory, and IL Inflammation
does not set in, he may be considered
in fair way for recovery.

Th. Yellow Fever at New Orleans.

Now the return Of pestilence to the
cities of the south, especially Memphis,
and perhaps others, recalls TO the mind
Of the reader the sad calamity which
occurred to New Orleans last year, and
brings vividly forward the memory of
the great good accomplished by the far
famed Charity hospital Of the Crescent
city, which it was enabled to do only by
the generous support it received from
the revenue derived from the celebrated
Louisiana State Lottery, which an
nounces that its 18th monthly draw
will take place on September 9th, and
the tickets for which, or any informa-
tion relative thereto, can be had on ap-

A NEW "POEKOPOLIs.,

The marvellous expedition with which hogs are now transformed into pork at Chicago seems to indi- cate that the great commercial cap ital of Illinois has an even better title than Cincinnati to the envi- able title of Porkopolis. By the agency of a newly-patented "hog' scraping machine just brought into use at the former place. seven swine, freshly slaughtered, are con verted into marketable pork in the space of one minute. They come out whithout bristle or hair, and when certain improvements which are ccnto mpla ed shall have been made, it is confdcntlyIdeclared til; t the apparatus will work at the rate of 500 hogs per hour. The new pork manufactur ng machine is said to be wonderful triumph of me- chanical ingenuity. It looks as if Chicago had stolen a march upan the inland metropolis that is mani festing disposition to m nopolize political conventions, Presidents and pork.

nAxAnD FoR PRESIDENT.
Now that MR. T1LDEN is uraeti

Now that MR. TILDEN is uracti-
 cally dead as candidate for tbe
 Presidency, since MR. BAYARD's
 return from Europe he is looming
 up prominently as a possible Demor
 cra.ic candidate in 1880, but while he wo i'd make fair President, no doubt, being a man of fair ability,
 he would be an manageable can
 didate for that party They must have a man who can say things which may be interpreted in several ways to become available in the race for success. They must have an
 cquivocal platform, and doubtful candidate as to his doctrines and sentiments he must be either "hard money or "soGt money" as occa- sion may require. This MR. BAY ARD will not do, even to secure the highest prize within the reach of American citizenship = the Presi- dcncy. If he is the conscientious man he is represented to be, his nomina- ton would require square, honest and sound platform with clearly enunciated and definite political creed. Such platform would not suit the great body of that party. It would be piece of political car pentry which they have not seen for twenty five years, and we don't believe their party mechanics are capable of constructing one, or that their people would accept the job at their hands if they did succeed in the novel attempt.

WASH!N sTON LETTER.
From Oar Regular correzpondent.l

wAsHISsrQS, D. C., Nov. 18th, 1879.
 Considerable gossip is indulged in at the Treasury Department over 8 recent set to between Secretary Sher- man and Mint Director Glrchard. It seems the Director, who is silver fanatic, has been running all the hints up to full capacity in coining silver, exceeding the minimum amount prescribed by law. In the meantime there has been a great scarcity of tie smaller gold coin, and the Treasury has found itself unable 10 supply the demand for them. This action of the Director, coming to the notice of the Secretary of the Treasury he sent for him, and the matter was talked over. In view of the immense accumulation of sil- yer in the Treasury, the Secretary was very naturally uDable to see the propriety of exceeding the amount of coinage prescribed by the law. Re ports say that he became so much worked up as to indulge in language which must forever bar him from at tendance on the Sunday night prayer meeting at the White House.
 From information obtained at the Bureau of Statistics, 1 find that the condition of business affairs in our country continues very encouraging. The harvest has proved abund ant, orders from abroad arg large and plentiful, and immense arrivals of gold frt m Europe, to settle the trade balances in favor of the United States are chronicled almost every day by the New York papers, showing that America s,,foating indebtedness abroad has been largely paid. The only danger to be apprehendcd in this con- dition of things, lies in the tendency to speculate recklcssly. The month of October was remarkable for the development of an extraordinary ao- tivity and buoyancy in both stocks and merchandise. The best business authorities unite in regarding the great buoyrncy of the market as be- ing founded upou firm basis, and q considerable reaction from the de- pressed prices of recent years, is be- lieved to be fully warranted by the improved outlook in nearly all branches of business. On the other hand it is equally true that there is a rampant speculation spirit at work, which causes the wiser and cooler heads some ancasiness~

STAGE ROBBERS.
Particulars of the Killing of One
 Of the Robbers.

The Arizonan of the 18th, contains an interview with Sheriff Walker of the capture of the stage rob bcrs uear Prescott, of which the following is a synopsis:
 [" AL Sieber, Thomas Simmons, City Marshal Jas. M Dodson, and myself went the first day to Alldred's house, where we arrived Sunday night. We there learned that they had bargained for ranch, two and half miles below Allred"s andhad moved down there. I was going down there the next morning after them, but Alldred did not want us to go, because, where the ranch was located there was a mass of lock on one side and 2 sw amp on the other, and they could easily get away from us in such q place. He wanted us to stop and get them up to his place, and said he would send them word 10 come there. They had been at his place the night before. where they expected to meet Capt. Adams, who was endeavoring to get some stock ot Alldred or Beach, and they wanted to go with him to Phoenix. They told Alfred to send them word if the stock came. Alldred did not want to go down there himself on Monday morning, so Sieber went down and told them that Adams was there, and about o'clock yesterday they came up and we got them. Sim mons, Dodson and myself stepped into little kitchen at one side of the house, while Sieber sat out in front by the side of his horse. Finally, they came pretty close, and when hear the house they came in on gallop. Sieber was about to draw his shot gun from . wagon when Simmons, Dodson and myself came running out of the house and called to them to throw up their hands. The man who was killed refined his
  horse to enc side from Sieber and went for his pistol. When he threw his hand behind him for his pistol l Dodson shot him The other man 1 reached for his gun We told him to throw mp his hands which he did. | Francis fell off his horse dead. He l had on a soldier coat, and as he fell | his cape flew over his face We did | not disturb the cape and his pi stol is still in his belt This man Francis it is said, was up in Utah for num- Der of yeass killing and robbing stages. The survivor gives his name as l;ave Williams. He has wife and three children in Utah. It was their intention to rob the bank here ans the one at PhGnix. Williams was lodged in jail.

INDIAN LII&G.

The commission appointed by the Government to investigate the mas sScrc at the White river agency, have been in session. for some time. To his already established reputalieR for treachery may now be added that of supcrlative lying. In spite of the usual form of the "oath" ad- ministered to these scoun1relly red skins they have utterly refused to reveal the authors of that bloody at tack. According to these immac- ulate pets of eastern humanitarians not a man in all the tribe had any thing to do with the murder at all. Ifthey may be believed there has been no such thing as a massacre whatever. CHIEF DOUGLASS. who was there the whole of that bloody day, says he not only did not know who did it, but that he did not even know of the massacre until it was all ended, and when GENERAL ADAMS complained to OURAY that the commission could not obtain the truth that noble savage" showed his knowledge of jurisprudence by declaring there was "no law that could require a man to criminate himself" Granted, but such legal knowledge is entirely unbecoming a savage" In other words, the term savage" is no longer applicable to a set of cut throats who can meas ure their horrible crimes by as inst a standard as white cut-throats Cut-throats they are, and they should be treated as such. Put every one of them on his individual good behavior. Give each 160 acres of land if he wants it, and make him respect the rights of the white man, and at the same time protect him in his rights as an in- dividual. Simply treat him as a white scoundrel and liar is treated, if necessary, to a rope,
