News from Fort Yates says that when Sitting
Bull heard of the murder Of Spotted Tail, he
said it was fit ending for fool. Sitting Bull
claims he surrendered when he should have
kept the warpath. He undoubtedly means
what he says, for on the 10th inst, two squaws
were caught carrying ammunition and guns
into his camp. He undoubtedly means mis-
chief, and if he says the word many of the
young bucks at the agency will follow him.

The virylnia Republicans.

The Republicans Of Virginia met in conven
ton at Richmond on the 10th inst, and the
first thing they did of any note, was to split,
the straight-outs Withdrawing and holding q
convention Of their own, and the Coalitionists
remaining and organizing. The Coalitionists
indorsed the Readjuster's ticket and platform
and adjourned. The Straight-outs made a
platform and nominated a ticket Of their own.
The platform was adopted, but the candidates
nominated, the dispatch says, refused to &C.

Mrs. Firsmore,s Death.


Mrs. Millard- Fillmore died at Buffalo, N. Y,
on the 11th inst. Mrs. Fillmore Was married
after President Fillmore had served his term.
Her maiden name was Caroline McMichael, but
she had previously married Ezekiel McIn-
tosh, of Albany, and after his death became
the wife of the ex-President. She has resided
in Buffalo since her second marriage. Her life
was characterized by charity, both public and
private. In October, 1880, she suffered
severe stroke of paralysis, followed by two at
tacits, and was for long time unable to artie-
ulate, but retained her other faculties. She
was in her seventy-frst year. No children
were born to her. An unmarried son OF Pres
Ident Fillmore, by his first wife, is the only
remaining relic of the Presidents family.
Another Operation the PresIdent.
The constantly increasing fever of the Presi-
dent made it evident that another operation
would have to be performed. The flow of pus
had Become obstructed by the healing process,
and it became impossible to longer pass the
drainage tube-along the track of the ball be-
tween the ribs. 1t was therefore decided to
make new opening into.th track of the ball
below the last rib SO that the ribs should no
longer prevent the keeping open of the wound
by the solid backing which they afforded to
granulating flesh between them. The opera
ton was performed, at the request of the other
surgeons, by DIR. Agnew ON the 9Th inst. As
soon as the patient had been put under the
influence of ether a long and slightly
curved instrument was introduced into
the wound, pushed between the ribs and
carried downward along the track of the
bullet until its end could be felt below the last
rib from the outside. Holding this instru-
ment in the wound as guide, DIR. Agnew then
made q counter incision below the twelfth rib,
cutting directly through the integument until
the knife met the end of the first mentioned
measurement, at a point where he wished to
intersect the track of the ball. The operation
was not difficult or dangerous one, and the
patient bore both it and the etherization ex-
tremely well. There is now an opening to the
deeper parts of the wound, which does not
pass between tho ribs, and which can always
be kept free and unobstructed, and no further
trouble from accumulation of pus is antici-
pated. Since the operation the President has
rested quietly.

brothers, named Hardin, were confined in jail
for the murder of man named Corners the

attacked the Jail with view to lynching the

were attempting to protect the prisoners, but
not until one of them, unknown to the
lynchers, passed his revolvers to one of the
prisoners. The leader of the mob, John Hoff-
man, respectable farmer, approached the
cell with a crow-bar, and while he was batter
ing at the door, he was shot down by one of
the prisoners. The remainder of the mob took
