the Patti libel case to-day, Charles Car.
Piles, merchant, testified that he had re-
ceiyed musical training from childhood,
and had sung several times in New York;
in the Italian and German opera house.
"was at PATHS concert in this city;
thought Patti 'tipsy' when she first ap-
peared and that she was in a worse condi.
ton when she appeared the last time.
| still believe she was 'tipsy' that night;
bad cold would not give silly cast to her
eye or .tipsy' look TO her face. l talked
with two members OF the troupe at my
store, and they. wished me to say nothing
about the concert and said they would be
glad when they got east so they could
leave the company.
L. G. Spangler, steward OF the Planters 3
House, testified that during their supper
at the Planters House on the evening Of
the concert, Patti and her company drank
one dozen bottles OF beer and two and a
half bottles OF claret. The whole party
was very boisterous; acted as II under
the influence OF liquor.
Thomas 0'Neil and Samuel Whitson,
carpenters at the theatre, saw Patti drink
repeatedly from the glasses brought into
the theatre, and which they supposed con-
tanned liquor. Her actions indicated to
them that she was intoxicated.

On Tuesday the Pittsburgh manufacture
srs advanced the nail card to IS per keg.
As yet the Wheeling manufacturers have
not decided 10 do likewise. The Pitts
burgh Commercial reports the following in
tetyiew with manufacturer there:
"Don't you think the price Of nails is
TOO high 10 last long2" asked the reporter.
awhile believe that the rate is too
HIGH, also feel assured that 1t will last.
There never has been greater demand
for Pittsburgh nails than at present, and l
can see no reason why the present prices
shall not rule, until after next summer

"Of course there Is. The nail manufac-
turers are making more money now than
they have for several years."
"Will not this fact result In the starting
Of old factories that have been idle for q

II suppose that the rate will be reduced
when the demand falls of, hut that will
not be for year or more. As to starting
up old factories, there are not many old
factories that are not running. The only
one here that can think OF just now is
that OF Zug &C.,, which will not resume
operations before next February. You
may set it down that there will be no over
production Of nails for many months, and
that the s. rate will not be changed this

for the Chicago nomination next
June. As some one has well
said, he will be, with the solid south at
his back) the easiest candidate to nomi-
nate, and with the great tradition OF the
Government to confront him) the most
difficult to elect. With the odor OF the
Camerons, Conklings, Belknaps, and Bab-
cocks about his two terms, added to the
anti.thira term prejudice Of the people,
he will indeed be difficult candidate to
elect. Therefore we say that It is the ex-
treme OF follv and madness TO talk about
nominating him.
John Sherman can be elected President
OF the United States. Elihu B. Wash.
burne can he elected. The ISrELLteEScER
will be glad to support either OF them.
There Is no stain OF any kind on the rep
utation or public services Of either. They
are both men oi long public service. No
man in the country can poll snch Ger
man vote as Washburne. He stood by
their conntrymen in Paris at q time
when they needed a protector and
friend. and threw over them the
full prestige Of the American flag,
and they will reward him with their
gratitude by giving him the largest Ger
man vote ever given to candidate for the
Presidency in the history Of this country.
His nomination will be equivalent, to
thirty thousand German Democratic votes
in the doubtful State OF New York, and
perhaps almost as many iu the doubtful
State OF New Jersey. With Washburn as
the nominee of the Chicago Convention,
every Northern State, Indiana not excep-
ted, will be swept by the Republican
party in November.

Ute Indian. in n rlekIIsh Position.

Pueblo, COL, January 7.--Twelve Ute
Indians, in charge Of Lieut.. Taylor OF the
Ninth Cavalry, with ten men, arrived to.
day and went East Immediately on the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.
They had ordered dinner at the Union
Depot Hotel, but seeing so large crowd
Of pale faces destroyed their appetite, and
they went aboard the train at once and
left without eating. .
Between two or three thousand people
were at the depot to SEQ the savages.
"Hang the red DEVILS" 'shoot the
numbering fends" and like expressions
were frequently heard from portions OF
the crowd, and they were pelted with
coal stones by some boys who had taken
position on coal train on a side track.
The Indians were terror STRICKEN and COM
plately cowed. A movement was aioot in
the morning to organize five hundred
men and lynch the savages, but cooler
counsels prevailed, and the citizens deter.
mined TO let the Indians pass without in
jury. Had there been any injudicious
acts by the troops or Indians, nothing
could have restrained the mob from lynch
ing. Had Douglass or any OF the Indians
engaged in the numbering and outraging
OF the Meeker family been aboard no pow
er could have saved them.

New YoRk, January7.-J. Lloyd Haigh,
under arrest for passing forged notes on
the Grocers', Market and other banks, was
released last evening, and went to his
house in Mott Avenue, where he passed
the night. After he had gone Judge Gil.

not suitable bondsman, but Haigh had
gone 10 his home and could not be re-
manded to the Toombs. Word was sent
to his office this morning, aud Haigh
promised to find now bondsman before
noon, but had not done so at p. NJ.
1t Is said that one OF the Bowery banks
has sl0, 900 Of Haigh's forged paper, that
another bank holds 81 400 and that there
are two other notes or acceptances In ref

THEUTEs.
It appears from the documents trans
mitted by the President to the Senate to-
day, in response to resolution requesting
him to furnish information, that the re.
ceipts and disbursements under an agree.
ment made between the United States and
the Ute Indians in September, 1873, and
ratified April. 1875, has been as follows:
Receipts to July LIST, 1879, Sl29,Sl5; ex-
genses for supplies, implements, travelling
expenses Of delegations, ETC., $65, $50;
leaving an unexpended balance OF $G4,-
OPS. During the same period there has
been expended for the support OF the
Utes, from annual appropriations made
In accordance with the treaty, OF S0S, ,SSl, !.
003, which exceeds the requirements OF
the treaty.
The agreement referred to sets apart as
q perpetual trust for the Utes, sum OF
money or bonds sufficient TO produce
$4,000 annually, to be disbursed or in
vested at the discretion OF the President.
Inexplaining the administration Of this
fund the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs
says It has been apparent for some
time past that the Ute Indians would eth
er have 10 settle down or change their To-
cation to avoid contact with the increas-
ing white mining population Of Col
orado. Only very few OF them
have shown an inclination to work
at agriculture where they are. Under such
circumstances the treaty funds have not
been invested, as there was reasonable
expectation that early action would be
taken looking to the permanent settlement
OF the Utes where their support by agri-
culture would be possible, and conse-
quently the money TO their credit in the
treaty would be needed for their comfort.
