New York, Dec. 31.-A Washington
correspondent says that Jpdge, Belford
has a letter, the accuracylof which can.
not be doubted, which he will present
to congress for the purpose of showing
teat the claim in behalf of the Indians,
that no outrages have been lierpetrated
outside of the reservation, is false.
The letter is from gentleman well
known in Colorado, and of the list OF
outrages appended, he says, g All OF
which I, and plenty of others, settlers
in this country, can testify to as having
been committed by the Utes, and alb.
solptely without the slightest provoca-
ton Depredations were committed
atthe house and corral of F. Marshall,
in Egeria park, twelve miles east Of
the northeast corner of the reservation;
the house, stable and corral of ID. G..
Whitney, over forty miles from the
reservation; the house of J. G.. Smart,
in the same neighborhood; the house
OF r. Weber, at the foot of the Gore
range, over twenty miles east of the
reservation; on October 1st,<,TS, the
Utes ran off the horses of d. G.. Whit
ney. fourteen in number, from his
place forty miles from the reservation;
on Sept. 23, '7S two Utes set fire to the
grass surrounding forty tons of hay be-
longing to Smart; on ,Iuly1, 10,
i" Big Joe," Ute, set fire to the grass
and sage brush surrounding the house
of Major Thompson; on July 0, 20,
Chinamap and Bennett set fire to Mai.
Thompson's house and destroyed it's
" To this last,'' the letter goes on, ''I
would add the burning of 'Byers, house
and blacksmith shop, at Sulphur

was taken by me, and my affidavit was
filed in the commissioner office, but 1

den, Roult county, on, or about July 8,

Pauf railway. was two hours late,
on, reaching Mendoza junction, near
this city. While running at a rather
high speed on the high embankment
along the Mississippi river, rail broke,
and three coaches, including sleeping
car, left the track. The sleeper broke
its coupling and rolled down the en-
bankment to the river, a distance of
sixty feet, but the fall was somewhat
broken by the Sioux City track, half
way down the descent. The car was
smashed to pieces, and the six passen-
gers it contained were taken up insen-
sible. AT first it was thought that one
or more were killed, but all are alive at
the present writing, though some are
seriously injured. No one forward of
tine sleeping car was hurt.

Burlington, Iowa, Dec. 31.-A terri
BILE double tragedy occurred at 3 O'Clock
this afternoon. James A. Woodward,
the only son of ex-Mayor Woodward,
and himself a ticket agent here, shot
and instantly killed Edward Price, a
young machinist of somewhat unsteady
habits, and then put the pistol to his
own head and fired with fatal effect.
Two years ago Price married the foster
sister of Woodward and lived with her
unhappily fora time, and then separa-
ted. He returned recently. A recon-
ciliation followed, but was succeeded
by another separation, and by success
i've quarrels between the brother and
husband. After frequent recontres
Woodward made a threat to shoot
Price on sight. Price. to-day hearing
of this, went to Woodward's store,
with the result above stated.

ROsccrans on Garfield.
tFrom the San Francisco Call. ]


Last evening Call reporter visited Gen.
W. s. Rosecrans, at his residence in this city,
and obtained from him some interesting facts
concerning the military career of the Repub-
lican nominee. "Yes, replied General Rose
Grams in response to an inquiry from The
Calls representative, Garfield was a mem

part of the war When he came to my head

dice against him, as l understood he was a

He remained at headquarters for a couple of
days, as ] wanted to become acquainted with
him before assigning him to duty. The
more saw Of him the better liked him. and
finally gave him his choice of a brigade or to
become my Chief of staff. Most men would
probably have taken the brigade, but he de-
cded to remain with me. We were together
until the Chattanooga affair. l found him to
be competent and efficient officer, an earn
est and devoted patriot and a man of the
highest honor. His views were large, and he
was possessed of thoroughly comprehensive
mind Late in the summer of 1868 he came
to me one day and said that he had been ask
ed to accept the Republican nomination for
Congress from the Ashtabula District, and
asked my advice whether he ought to accept
1t, and whether he could do so honorably. I
replied that l not only thought he could ac-
cept it with honor, but that deemed it to be
his duty to do so. The war is not vet over
| said, nor will it be for some time to come.
There will be many questions arising in Con-
gross which require not alone statesmanlike
treatment, but the advice of men having an
acquaintance with military affairs will be
needed and for that and several other rea-
sons which / named, he would, / believed,
do equally as good service to his country in
Congress as in the field. 1t was, too, a great
honor to him to be nominated by the Ashta-
bula District, which had been represented in
the House by one man for a quarter of a cent

accord with their sentiments in politics. Be-

Garfield, want to give you some advice.
When you go to Congress be careful what
you say. Don't talk too much but when
you do talk, speak to the point. BE true to
yourself, and you will make your mark be-
fore the country A few years ago met him
in Washington and said to him We'll, Gar
field, you have got along pretty well follow
ing my advice"
Recurring to the nomination, General Rose
Grams said Il consider Garfield head and
shoulders above any of the men named be-
fore the convention, and far superior to any
of the political managers upon the floor He
is a man with broad views, has always been a
consistent Republican, and has clean rec
ord. l cannot believe that James A. Gar
field was ever guilty of a dishonest act. As
the campaign progresses, it will be found if
it is not now acknowledged, that Garfield is a
hard man to beat"

No CLIMATE AT ALL.-South America, it
might almost be said, has no climate at all.
Here, in this southern continent, the same
wind from the south pole blows throughout
the year, fresh and keen all along the coast
so fresh and keen that on the sea or close to
it the vertical sun of the tropics loses all its
power even at noon, and the long equatorial
night has q chill which renders il unsafe as
well as uncomfortable to sleep in the open
air, and unwise and almost impossible to dis
pense with heavy blankets On the western
coast of South America the yapOrs that would
be waited up TO it from the Pacific, are met
by the perennial breezes which, as l said,
come up from the pole, and they are driven
upward till they reach the summit of the
mountain wall of the Andes, where, condensed
by the cold of that lofty region, they fall in
copious rain, drenching and fertilizing the
entire watershed, passing over the western
slope and leaving it untouched, arid, barren
and desolate. For the six winter months in
the year. what in the West Indies is the rainy
season is here the season of clouds and fogs.
We have the constant threat of rain, with
hardly ever drop of it, and the sun, that
breaks out in pale glimpses toward noon, is
seen but not felt, This is especially the case
with Peru, the coast of which, projecting
westward in all its length from africa to
Payta, is more Immediately exposed to the
polar wind and more numerically searched
and blighted by its blast That its climate, asa
tropical one, may be all the better forit, very
possible and, indeed, there is no fault to be
found with it on the score of human health
but it is dull and gloomy and doomed to per-
petual drought. There il no moisture or
dew in the land and, consequently no vege-
tation, or only that which is fostered by the
scanty rills creeping through the sand and
stone of their narrow glens, and only break
ing down, torrent fashion, when the thaw of
the perpetual SHOWS of the Cordillera sets in
in good earnest in the summer months.--

THE HoPED-FoR ENDOWMENT OF LELAND AND
GRAY SEMINARY.
Our Townshend correspondent hands us
the following, clipped from an article on
"Crises in Communities, in recent num-
ber of the Vermont Tribune:
community or school comes sometimes
TO a crisis in its history, and on the turn
events take in that crisis all its subsequent
history depends. A case comes to mind il
lustraiing this truth as respects a communi-
ty Over in Windham county nestles among
our evergreen hills, the beautiful village of
Townshend. For generRtion-since 1885
this town has enjoyed the advantages of
the Leland q Gray Seminary, which together
with the lifelong pastorate of the late gifted,
cultured and wise Horace Fletcher, ID. D.,
gave it an enviable fame as a high-toned, cul-
tivated aud refined community. Without 60
ing into details, the school under the care of
its present head, Prof. G. G. Boynton, has
reached the crisis of its history. The loca-
ton of the Vermont Academy at Saxtons
River, with the excellent school at Shelburne
Falls, Mass, thoroughly equipped financial
ly, makes it impossible for Leland Il Gray TO
go on with its present high standard without
an endowment of at least ten or fifteen thou
sand dollars, To lower the standard of in
struction, or put up the price of tuition etc.,
would kill the school. 1t must have an en-
dowment or die, that is all, and Prof Boyn-
ton is sought for by other schools, while he
and the endowment constitute the schools
necessity. The school can't decline and
"come up" again as it has done in the past,
for these other schools will gather its patron
age and patronage once lost can seldom be
regained, as business men well know. We
presume we could name half dozen men in
Townshend who are unitedly worth quarter
of a million or more, and this is Gods call !
it is the crisis of school and town, and we be-
lieve failure to endow will result in de-
probation of property values in that town
during the next decade more than the sum
called for by the school We do not ask these
wealthy men to do it all 4; every citizen should
do something, but it must be done or Town
shend declines.
