Governor Pitkn replies to tho last telegram
ot Secretary Schurz us follows;
DENvER COL, Oct. 10.
Hon. C. schura, Secretary Cf he Interior:
As there is not telegraphic line to Gunni-
son city am unable to get accurate and re-
liable reports from there l have no advices
of two companies of state militia having
started for tho reservation, and l disbclieve
the rumor. The information which has
reached mo is that the sheriff arrested Berry
over Il week ago at the agency; that Berry
persuaded the sheriff TO accompany him to
tho oantonment, about four miles distant
where ho escaped from the sheriff. Two dis
patches nave been received here to-day con-
corning him, one stating that he is secreted
by the Indians and the other that he is pro-
teCted by the commander at tho post.
/ respectfully request that you require the
commander of the post to deliver him to the
sheriff Of Gunnison county at Gunnison city.
This will avoid the necessity Of the sheriff
taking a state force with him TO make the
arrest. Although his efforts to escape have
strengthened the conviction as to his guilt,
have no apprehenslons as to his personal safety
when once in the custody of the sheriff at
Gunnson, Captain Cllno has been in Jail for
about a week without being molested. The
sheriff telegraphed me to-day that Berry and
others are safe from n mob in Gunnson. II
you dosire to have tho military commander
deliver him to the sheriff shull like 10 be in.
formed of the decision, that may notify the
sheriff at once that further preparations for
making the arrest will be unnecessary.

COUNTING THE ELECTORAL vorE

SOOGAIN0 Ah1S AILLHhOhAh v OAb'
Washington, april 1.-THE Democratic
members of the Senate Committee on
Rules and the Senate committee on the
subject of counting the electoral votes
held long private meeting to-day with
avisw to agreeing upon some recommend.
alton for action in regard to the electoral
count to be taken by the Senate at this
session. It was substantially decided to
recommend that the two Houses of Con-
grsss shall adopt o new joint rule provid-
ing that in case only one certificate of
the electoral vote of q State be presented
to Congress it shall not be rejected, ex-
cept by the affirmative vote of the two
Houses, aud that in case of dual returns
neither shall be counted unless the two
Houses agree that one of them is the true
and valid return. This proposition was
substantially the same that was offered
by Senator in the 44th Congress and
then adopted by the Senate in the form
of bill, which, however, failed to receive
final action in that body in consequence
of Mr. Thurman having entered g motion
to consider its passage. The former 22d
joint rule on the subject required every
vote TO be rejected to which any objection
was sustained by either House.

ure of health, and % desire to see haY.

g report Of the proceedings at recent

Gen. Hancock, Mr. Tilden, Senator Bar
