Las Vegas, N. NJ. July 3O.-The Optic
has the following on good authority: Indians
who attached two packers near Alamo can
yon on the 10Th have been followed ever
since by Lieut.. Guilfoyle's command, which
u day or two since surprised them in camp
After an hours engagement the Indians fed
leaving their whole camp outfit and two
horses and II mules in possession of the
soldiers. Two Indians it is supposed were
killed and several wounded but were carried
off. The Indians fled toward the Rio Grand

Der ii buck and one sguaw. Reliable news
from Engle reports the burning of a ranch,
murder OF Mexican and two unknown

N. Y. July 3O-Rosa, the decapitated
fernai machines Were shipped, speaking of
the matter said: ''The whole farce was got
up by an Irishman who belongs to the
league. He shipped some harmless stuff to
England, then pretended to act as inforrner
to the British government. He went to
Consul-General Archibald and told him that
explosives had been sent, and furnished him
sufficient proof that the shipment had been
made. For this the lrishman received $1,000
and was promised Sl0,0 more when the
English police should have seized the explo-
sives.

Ogdensburg, July 30.-Two hundred lum-
Der hands of Killings Il Barnes have struck
and are SO riotous that the mayor has been
called on to preserve order.
Boston, July 3O.-The journal publishes
the reason which actnated the Chinese gov-'
ernment IN recalling its youngmen who were
students at Hartford. It seems that the
emperor a year ago dispatched mandarin
of high rank to Hartford to enquire into the
workings of the educational commission.
This individual has never been outside the
limits of his native land and possesses only
book knowledge of foreign customs. On
reaching Hartford he was Mortified at find
ing that the wards of his nation had become
Americanized to an alarming degree, some
being so far acclimated as to have parted
with their pig tails. The shock was too
great for the nerves of the conservative func-
tioeary. Yung Wing the able head of the
commission, fai ed in his efforts to clear
away the prejudice of his visitor, who de-
clared that the effect of their soiourn was to
ALLEVIATE the boys from their country and its
customs: to undermine the most sacred ira
dltional principles of the government and
society, and to lmplant and foster seditious
ideas which would become the germ of social
if not civil and religious discords among
their own people. The whole influence and
tendency of the mission was pernicious and
dangerous in the extreme. He therefore
recommended immediate abandonment of
the enterprise and recall of all the students,
and this course has been adopted by the
home government.
New York, July 23-The Tribune, on
Conklng's supporters, says: Nothing can
restore those members the measure of con-
fidence and respect from their constituent
which they once enjoyed. Conkling's con-
duct has alineated every friend. Men who
admired him most hardly two months ago
are those who feel most keenly the wrong
he has done them. People have watched
his behavior with growing disgust. There
is little probability that Rosco Conkling
will ever resume his place in public affairs.
Next to Conkling the democratic party
suffers. It has played the tail SO long, and
has been wagged 50 obediently, that it will
be very hard hereafter to gain for that party
the respect of good citizens.
The Sun says: Conkling has reached the
full meridian of life, and bis recent mistakes
and foibles cannot be overlooked in the gen.
erous spirit which pardons much of the in
discretion of youth. He stands facing a
dark if not rayless future. No rainbow of
promise spans his sky, nor in the order of
Nature, and in the ordinary course Of human
affairs, can he reasonably expect to behold
any new morn in his midday vision.
