.a9fNEw York, Jan. BOA Washington spe-
ciai to the evening papers says a meeting of
the friends of Blaine is to be held tomorrow
to get up a serenade and reception in honor
or his services il, putting down the rebellion
in Maine. y The National Republican, which
has been for Grant first, last and all the time,
begins to show signs Of Topping over to
Blaine.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Governor Pitkin,
of Colorado, to-day resumed his testimony
before the House Committee OIL Indian AT
fairs. lie related the incidents of his inter-
views with Jack to the other Indians going to
show that Ouray had gradually lost his in
fiuence over the younger Utes and that a feel
ing OF disaffection and war spirit had for
some time past been gaining ascendency with
them. He said some of the scouts had, pre-
Viots TO Thornburg's fight, been warned that
the Indians would attack the troops at or near
Bear River, and that the genera. opinion
among the people of Colorado was that the
outbreak was premeditated.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 3O.-The Senate Exec
utlve Committee again examined Charles III.
Otuy, who in cross examination admitted
that Mendenhall was the only person in
Washington whom he had heard advise exc
dus for political reasons. He believed all
colored people of Intelligence in North Car
NINA Z ppljoStu cSDuuS. L. "A. IdTllZ,
editor of a Goldsboro, North Carolina, Dem
ocratic paper testified that it was difficult to
account for the exodus. Certainly it was not
on account of oppression OF of the condition
OF their treatment in the Sourth. After some
further testimony the committee adjourned
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Jan. 3O.-Parnell to-
night violently attacked the ~veracity and birth
of Lord Alfred Churchill, who, by cable from
Ireland, denied Parnell's statement made III
this country. The proceeds Of the meeting
here and at Altoona were $4,000.
New YORK, Jan. 3O.-The Herald says ed
itorially this evening that sympathy for the Ute
chiefs seems to be misplaced if the story of
Pitkin told yesterday before the Committee
on Indian Affairs is true. On the contrary
the Sun thinks Iitkin's story seems to be a
modern instance OF the ancient fable Of the
wolf charging the sheep with fouling the
stream.
The World says Secretary Schurz has done
we'll in getting rid of Hayt. Now if Post
master-General Key would only turn Brady
adritt upon the cold and heartless world the
cause of the civil service reform and economy
would be still further benefited.
CHEYENNE, Jan. 3O.-The election held
Yesterday on the question of issuing $500. 900
in bonds of this county to the Union Pacific
Railroad Company to build a railroad north
towards the Black Hills and Big Horn cnun-
try, resulted almost unanimously in favor of
the grant.
New York, Jan 30. - The long-standing
suit of the st. Louis, Alton q Terre Haute
Railroad Company against Samuel j. Tilden,
Chas Butler and others has ended at last by
virtual confession of judgment by defendants

dollars.

Nothing presents a sadder com.
mentary upon the present coudi-

ber of families, both in town and
the country, but more especially In
the latter, that subscribe to no pa.
pei of any kind. Hundreds and
thousands of families are thus
growing up, utterly ignorant OF
what is transpiring in the world
around them-iguorant of the
mighty events of the day. But
