SECRETARY SCHURz says that present
negotiations with the Ute delegation,
although necessarily kept secret for the
present, are expected to accomplish the
following results: First, to have treaty
provisions about the surrender of Of
tenders carried out so that the partici-
pants in the White River murders can
be tried; second, to make such ar
engagements with the Utes as will avert
from them the injuries that are
threatened to be inflicted upon
them the border population of Colorado,
and which certainly would come if the
present boundaries of the reservation
were preserved. This accomplished,
the present difficulties will pass over
without an Indian war, which will be a
great benefit to the country generally.
Third, to secure for them full compen-
sation for every piece of land they may
cede to the United States, and safe and
advantageous settlement for the future.

b. Duprce having been chosen by East
and MIR. James Lodbell, by West
Baton Rouge, these gentleman selected
Judge Bnckner as third abiter and the
debate proceeded. Subject-''Resolved
that the glory Of the United States ex-
cecds its shame" Mr. Motfet, of the
affirmative, was introduced, who spoke
ut some length in happy manner and
gave extensive statistics, in few OF
which he was in error; for instance,
the number of wars in which the
United States had engaged. Among
other startling items Mr.. Motlct
made the CApIrOLIAN copy n
cable kilograms received and published
in the Sugar Bowl. Mr. Brunot, on the
part of the negative, was introduced,
who rendered Il most prascworthy and
well prepared argument, which was re-
ceiycd with great applause by the aud
fence. Though rather too radical and
dcnunciatory, he well sustained his po-
sition throughout. For the affirmative
Mr.. Dcnham next appeared, 1t being
his first attemp: before the public, OF
conrsc Tie speaker appeared i'll at ease
and felt the embarrassment. of such al
amateur, but he is said to have deserved
praise. Mr.. Droz closed the prepared
argument for the negative, though lot
of "&maU' boys insisted upon closing it
for him. The gentlemen Of the negative
fully conceded with Chief Justice Mar
shall in his opinion Of George Washing
ton as to his blnndcrs, general charac-
ter etc. The negative having been more
more ably defended, Judgment was rem
dcrcd accordingly
The exceeding great length Of the ora
tons was the principal cause of cr'tl-
cism. Josh Billings says; "lt man
does not strike oil in twenty minutes he
may know lie has very poor
anger or i, boring in bad soil" Quantity
can never supply the want Of quality,
and few even great men can hold the
attention of an audience longer than
twenty-five or thirty minutes. Orat!ons
of this sort should be so compressed that
no pa,tical Of foreign substance remains
AS the genuine essence is better received
BY an audience and causes less physical
exhaustion Oh the part OF til" speaker.
Entertainments of this kind are source
of great Improvement and benefit intel
lcctual!y, and should receive the hearty
communication Of every one. We hope
it will be repeated,

\ Fiendish Act.
SOME UELI.-UOt'NDS STAB AND KILL ONE
AND WOUND FIVE INOF-
FENSiVE cows.

Some time during the night, on last
Friday some murtlerous beast or beasts
in human shape, wantonly and dcliber-
ately cut and stabbed six cows belong
ing to several citizens. One OF the I'M
fortunate animals was killed and the
other five were more or less manned and
injured. This cruel act was perpctratctl
in Cathshtown. Where a man kills an
other he is actuatsd by some motive :
that of revenge. the criminal intent OF
piundcring his victim, or some othcrevil
design, though not excusablc yet show
ing that the perpetrators hand Ia, been
guided by some impulse. For the act of
numbering inotl,cnsive dumb animals no
palliation for the crime can he offered ;
it is one that must cause the human
family to blush for its species. The wild
beasts of the forest will scarcely make
an attack on living thing, unless
prompted by the wants of their natures.
The tiend in human shape who thus
dcgrades that which has been created az
ter the image Of Almighty God, desccn'ls
below the lev Ell Of the wild beast of the
forest, the ravenous fishes of the sea, or
the reptile.
Law is inadequate to punish such crimes
against nature and the Deity itself. TO
send them to the sallowS or the pcni-
Tertiary is to do them an honor. Still
the latter is the only method of dspos-
ing of them; there they can be kept and
prevented from committing more Of such
dastardly deeds.
We hope that the officers of the law
and the citizens will act in concert in
doing all that can possibly be done to
ferret out the party or parties guilty OF
the heinOus crime we have described.

MONDAY, October 4th, 1880.
The Board of Supervisors was called
to order at i2 NJ, By His Excellency,
Gov. Wilt. ex-ohicio President. The
following named gentlemen were pres
cnt: Messrs. Fay, Dolhonde, Pipes,
Edwards, Walton and Jastremski.
At the suggestion Of the President, a
committee of three was appointed TO
wait on Col. Boyd and request him to
meet the Board in order to solve, if pos
sible, the existing difficulties.
Col. Boyd soon appeared, when Gov
Wilt stated, in substance, that he had
come from New Orleans fully Impressed
with the necessity Of placing the Uni
vcrsity on such footing as would give
to the youths Of Louisiana full oppor-
tunty to reap the benefits of the free
educational privileges the institution
was designed to afford them. He felt
that in the face of so grand an object,
personal differences oranimositieS should
rive way to the public welfare. He had
understood that Col. Boyd felt aggiievcd
at certain actions of the Board reflect
ing on his standing as q professor II
surh was the case, DC would ask of Col.
Boyd that he state how, i'll his opinion,
this matter could be adjusted ami the
present contest stopped, so that the
University might not suffer through the
ouarrcls of individuals. He, Gov. Wilt,
was ready, and he believed the members
too, to do everything that was fair and
honorable to arrive ut 80 desirable an
end. He recognized that Col. Boyd had
shown the utmost zeal and attachment
toward the progress and the wcll-beins
of the college.
In reply Col. Boyd stated that he was
at loss in making any suggestions and
he went on to describe the difficulties he
had encountered since he had been con
trolling its affairs. He grew pathetic
in his discourse, stating finally
though that he did not intend To
remain as its President. He could not
accept the position from the present
Board. and would decline it from the old
Board, were it declared the legal one
He thought that i, might perhaps ht
best that he should remain to condnct
the Institution until decision 81 the
courts. He thought, however, that il
would be improper for him to make an,
suggestions, to the gentlemen Of The
present Board. He then withdrew.
After some discussion the boar'! pro
cccdcd to the election of a President %

ton of Col. VIM. Preston joinSton.

The Contest debate.

An unusually largo nd intelligent
audience assembled at Pixies Hall on
last Friday night to listen to the much
talked of debate. In the absence of
Mr.. Bird, Prof. Scwcll was called to
preside over the meeting, and Hon. S.
NJ. Robertson acted as secretary. The
exercises We're opened by a recitation
entitled, "The Lost Cause" by Mr..
Willie Fuqua followed by Mr.. John
Lohdell, subject; "Spartieus to the
Roman Gladiators."
Both selections were rather old, but
rendered in style which reflected cred
it upon the DISCLAIMERS. The committee
appointed to decide upon the merits
soon returned with verdict in favor of
Nr. LObdell.
Next came the debate. Mr. Thomas
