COFFEE IN NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans Times.

NcW OEleAllS 1luueS.
The coffee trade up the Mississippi val.
ley, by way of New Orleans, is rapidly
growing in size, and bids fair in the course
Of = few years to rival any of the present
branches of commerce which are pursued
in this city. The coffee season of 1879
opened here about twelve days ago, with
the arrival OF the steamship Rubena which
gallant vessel brought to this port q mag
ni6cent cargo, consisting Of 23.l43 bags Of
coffee. Soon this vessel was followed bv
the bark Fazan, which conveyed q moder.
ate cargo of 1891 bags and next came the
barge Louise ct Marie, which Ia yet below
in the river, and has on board 1880 bags.
Thus the total receipts in less than 4 fort
night have been 1884 bags, the largest re-
ceipts for the same length oftime ever re-
corded at this port. The demand for the
new crop Of coffee has been brisk all along,
and all Of this heavy supply could have
been sold at once if the owners had 80
wished. As it is, two-thirds. or 81 LA bags
have gone to. local buyers, and lO,7S7 bags
only remain in first hands. Cargoes still
aioat are quoted at prices nearly equal to
New York rates., and especially may be
mentioned the 1000 bags afoat on the
British bark Burmsh, from Rio, which are
already sold to a Chicago dealer. Counting
in the cargo just mentioned, there are 20,
600 bags Of coffee known to be on the way
hither from Rio, while at present there are
many vessels loading at the Brazilian ports
The prospects are, therefore, that the cofet
trade will continue rs lively as at present
and that the coming season will be an event
full one for all parties engaged in thii
trade.

Recent Intelligence from the Black Hills
fully confirms the reports Of rich discoveries
in the central and southern sections. Dur
ing the past Elk weeks over three hundred
miners have stuck their tents in the neigh.
borhood Of Tigerville on north Newton
fork, and gone to work. The country is
full Of god which abounds in placers Is
we'll - quartz, and now that the California
men have taken hold of its development,
there is no doubt about its future. A very
rich discovery is reported near Hsrney's
Peak, not more than 6 miles from Sheridan,
in Pennington county, which is in the
neighborhood of the Fred. Cross mine. With
the beginning Of another year. an uuprece-
denied prosperity will be witnessed in every

Hills of Dakota will advance to a first
place among the mineral producing sections
Of the world.

THE MURDERED meEkeR's DAUGHTER.

Employed BY indian Departments.
Following is the text of Rose Meeker's
letter, published in the Denver Tribune
Friday morning. It is considered = fair
and candid statement of facts:
"Greeley. Oct, 9.-To the editor Of the
Tribune: /, % the eldest daughter Of the
martyred Agent Meeker, Of the White river
agency. wish to thank you for all the kind
words that have been said in the Tribune
of my good father, and also to express my
feelings in a limited way about the horrible
massacre. Had there been half as much
expedition and force put in operation from
the time of my fathers calling troops until
the battle Is there has been since the battle,
this horrible massacre would never have &C.
CURED. The government. with its slow
movements, has let my father be murdered,
when it could have been prevented. My
father wrote Gov. Pitkin on September 10
that his and all the lives at the agency were
in peril and requested troops. After three
weeks delay SO small a detachment was
sent us it was overcome, giving the Indians
more power than previously. Had the
cowboys of Colorado been called on Sep
ter 10 they would have gotten there in time
to save the lives at the agency. aud they

red devils that it would have been hard to
find one aliveto-day. The life of one com
mon white man is worth more than the
lives of all the Indians from the beginning
of their creation until the present time; aud
yet such a man as my father, with brains,
intellect and power to move the thoughts Of
men, had his life ignominously put out by
the hand Of a savage foe, whose life or soul
is not worthy of q dog, and no power in all
the land to stay the deed. What a magma.
nimous government We have, to pamper .
set of creatures whose existence should have
been q thing Of the past long ago. Oh, my
father! Could I have but died in your
stead! Ny protector, my hope and 10Y!
Oh. tho broken hearts of widows, and
daughters, and sisters who to-day, this hour,
mourn the lnss If their dear martyred ones,
who we're their support, love, life and their
al, now gone from their sides forever, with
only sorrow and des lation for their COM
forter through life. VINO can pay the price
Of this mighty woe7 Truy the blood Of the
martyred ones cries out for vengear ce; and
shall the voice of anguish be heard?

said that through the exactions of the moneyed

cuts about the head and some bruises, but his
injuries were not of serious character. lie
was conveyed to bis residence on street, be-
tween First and Second streets northwest, aud
attended by physician. The colored laborer,
named William Mahcney, was not so fortunate
as Mr.. Hope, for his injuries will probably prove
fatal. He received terrible cash under the
jaw, his head was cut in horrible manner,
and his other injuries were internal. DIR. IL.
NJ. Newman sewed up the cuts, and made his
patient as comfortable rs possible, after which
he was conveyed to the Freedman's Hospital

The PIeuro-Pncumonja,,


The House Committee on Agriculture met
yesterday. The subcommittee appointed to
inquire into the causes of plouro.pneumonia
among cattle, and the best means of prevent
ing tho same, reported to tho full committee in
favor of the bill introduced by Representative
Hatch, of Missouri, which prohibits the trans
portuton of cattle affected with contagious or
infectious diseases, and especially the disease
known rs pleuro-pneumonn, and for the pur-
pose of preventing violations of the act re-
quircs the Commissioner Of Agriculture to
select suitable localities on all lines of railroad,
river, or inter state communications that he
may have information the disease exists, and
to appoint competent practical experts, who
shall inspect all live cattle received for ship
ment or passing through their locality. After
some discussion it was decided by majority
of the committee to report the measure to the
House with favorable recommendation. The
dissenting notes were Messrs Covert, MCGOWAN,
and LIE Feyre. Chairman Covert contends that
the inspection of cattle as proposed by this bill
be entirely impracticabe rs it will necessarily
delay all cattle being transported from seven
to nine hours at the point where the inspec-
tons are made, thus causing great loss to the
shippers and producers.

its immediate presence, aud exercise his func-
tons in the absence of 4 statutory warrant for
it. Mr. Riddle says he knows of no act of
