MAYOR MOrrOW DeHeatS the SnVage6e
NEW YORK, Jan. ia Denver special says
Victoria and his Apache followers were over
taken on the 18th instant by Major Morrow.
Advlces from headquarters at Santa Fe state
that the soldiers came upon the Indians about
noon of the day mentioned. After being closely
puI sued and greatly harraSsed for weeks by
Mexican ana American Soldiery the Indians
called a halt when they reached point where
they supposed they would be reasonably secure.
at the head OF small stream called the Rio
Percha- in the Negrita or Black mountains.
There they fortified themselves as wen as pos
sible behind the rocks, and prepared to resist
the soldiers. who they knew were following
them. and, II possible, hold them In check unttt
the Indians could secure rest, OF which they
stood in sore need They were not required TO
wait great while before Major Morfow with
t0a men of the 9th cavalry came In sight aud a
fight at once began. Victoria held out well for
nNe or six hours maintaining his ground against
every assault and Subterfuge until sunset, when
he gathered his people together and beat a re-
treat eastward. That he was Sorely pressed was
indicated by the fact that
THE BODIES OF SEVEN INDIANS
were found on the battle field after the ground
was deserted one soldier-Sergeant Gross
lost his life in the engagement, and two others
were severely wounded. The Indians retreated
eastward, and at last accounts had not been
again heard from. The soldiers are reported TO
be very much fatigued, having been on the
march continually three or four weeks in a coun-
try which is rough, and In which water and pro-
visions are scarce. Nevertheless they are In good
spirits, and Major Morrow expressed his determ-
ination to yet conquer and capture the willy
chief and his hardy followers. General Rich has
ordered reinforcementS sent to Major Morrow.
There is a general determination to 'push the
war into Africa" The Mexican forces which
pursued the Indians to the state line have dis
banded; the volunteers having returned TO their
homes In Ch h1ahua and Sonora General CeS-

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Jan. ia reception was
ssee eae 9 Gen last ne e. Gen s. sar Mss
troduced by Gov. Foster; and after some hand
shaking made speech, in which he referred to
the qualification he felt at his election and this
reception. he then spoke Of the memories the
Ohio state capitol recalled to him: ''1t was
here" ]" he said, 1.-The word was first brought of
the firing on Fort Sumter" remember
of democratic leader who occupied a seat on
the other side, that we surrendered this cham
ber to several companies OF soldiers who had
come to Columbus to tender their services to
the fmperiled government. They slept on this
carpet and these sofas while waiting for other
quarters outside the capitol Here was the
nerve center of anxiety OF agony during the
early scenes Of the war. Here over 5000 Ohio
citizens rendered their services in the course OF
three weeks to the 1mperiled nation. All party
lines disappeared as ii by magic, and from both
sides OF this chamber men went out to take
their places on the field of battle. We meet
here tonight with the war so far back in the
distance, that 1t is almost a half-forgotten
memory. We meet here tonight with nation
a great and growing republic, made greater and
more glorious by the sacrifices through which
Il has passed He then paid warm tribute to
'.Ohio has had few larger-minded, broader,
minded men in the record OF its history and
referrd to the kind words spoken of him by
Senator Thurman in the state caucus, saying
that 1.-The flowers that bloom over the garden
wall of party politics are the sweetest and most
fragrant that bloom in the gardens of this
world, and where we can pluck them and enjoy
their fragrance it is manly and delightful to do
So" Speaking OF his long service In Congress
from one district, whose appreciation he had al
ways greatly desired, without egotfsm he still
more desired the appreciation of one per-
son, and his name was Garfield Continuing
After the laughter had subsided, he said she Is
the only man l am compelled to sleep with
llaughterl and eat with; and If / could not have
his appreciation l should have had companion
ship laughter, and In this lodger constituency,
can only do what is true to my best self, apply
ing the same rules, and if 1 should be so unfor-
tunate as to lose the confidence OF this lodger
constituency must do what every other fair
minded man has to do, carry his political life
in his hands and take the conquences. With
few words more he bade repblicans and demo-

either as to the quantity or quality of the paper
which was circulating. At the earliest moment
resolution to that effect. He had doae that be-
cause he had believed. and still believed, that
any agitation of that question at the present
time could not result in good and might result In
great harm, and because he had believed that
It was most Important that the people should
be assured that there would not be any tinker
away the legal tender quality of the green
back The country was assured that the
Treasury notes would be as good without that
quality as with it. If they were to be just as
good, what was to be gained by the change?
No one would claim that taking away the legal
tender quality would make them any better,
and almost everybody would agree that the
chances were that they would be made worse.
If it was the intention to retire them, why not
say SO, and let the country know that Wall
street and Beacon street had triumphed: II it
was meant that the greenback was to be buried,
at least give 1T Christian burial. In conclu-
sion, he said: Yesterday our iron furnaces all
over the land were idle; their blackened walls
spoke OF bankruptcy and ruin The men whose
business it was to operate them saw their fami-
lies suffering for food and clothing. The fires,
long since extinguished, have been rekindled;
wages and are unable to supply the demand
for their products. Distress and desOatiOn
have had to flee before the onward march and
resistless force of prosperity. Ships that lay
rotting at our WharveS have weighed their an
chOrS, and the sails of commerce have again
spread their white wings on lake and ocean:
Where, short time ago, silence required
supreme, and distress and desolatfon seemed 10
hold sway. is now heard the busy hum OF in
dustry. Cheerfulness and hope have taken the
place of gloom and despondency; and from all
these avocations and interests, the cry comes
up, ''Let well enough alone" [Applausel
Mr. Lewis followed with speech in favor of
the bill. A wise principle in banking was to
have proper reserve, and it was to the interest
OF the people that that wise principle should be
adhered to. He was in favor of compelling the
national banks to keep at least one-half of their
reserve in specie. and not allowing thep, If they
so pleased, TO keep that reserve in paper money,
which was not the money OF the world.
The morning hour having expired, the bill
went over without action.

ciary, reported bill amending the statutes as to
the jurisdiction of Circuit Courts Of the United
States, and the removal of causes from state
