WASHINGTON.
Bail Fixed and Given in the
Brady-BrOwn Cases.

WASHINGTON, October 5.-When
the Criminal Court met this morning
the presiding judge stated that he
had examined the information fled in
the Star Route cases and bad fixed
the bail at $500 in the cases OF Brady
and Brown, and at $4,000 in the cases
of Turner and French.
A short but unimportant discussion
ensued between Mr.. Cook, Assistant
Attorney General Totten and counsel
for the defense, in the course Of
which the latter stated that he might
have other motions to submit besides
that to quash information, but that
he would probably formally file that
motion tomorrow. 1t was agreed
that before any motion should be
argued two days notice should be
given to the opposite counsel.

A New Dodge.

A country man complained yester-
day that when he got off the cars
night before last at the Memphis &
Charleston depot, a hackman ap-
preached him and asked if he had a
check. He exhibited his omnibus
ticket which he had procured from
the checker on the train, and the
hackman, telling him it was all right
put him in his hack. When he had
driven him to bis boarding house he
wanted two dollars, and ignored the
omnibus check. The countryman
was green, but would not pay, and
called a policeman. The hackman lit
out before he arrived.

DURING the month of September
the gold coinage of this country was
entirely Of eagles and half eagles, in
pursuance Of a policy to favor the
smaller pieces rather than the double
eagles. OF the eagles there was made
s2,63O,OOO worth, and of half eagles
S2,785,0OO. There were struck during
the month 3,23O,OOO One-cent pieces to
meet the increasing demand for this
coin, which is running now from $1,000
to $500 worth a day. There were
struck 100000 silver dollars. The
total coinage for the month, of all
pieces, was T,847, 300.

SLAUsHTERING THE BUFFALO.
Reckless Destruction OF
Game,
About to Bring on a Bit of War.

ST. PAUL, October ga mounted
detachment, consisting of three COM
panies Of the Fifth Infantry, under
the command Of Captain Simon Sny-
der, Fifth Infantry, has been ordered
out from Fort Keogh, in the direction
Of the head waters of Red river, in
order to prevent a threatened col
lision between large body of whites,
engaged in hunting buffalo in that
vicinity, and band Of Yanktonian
Indians from Poplar Greek Agency.
For several weeks past parties from
Glendale and other points on the Yel-
lowstone and Missouri rivers have
been following up buffalo and killing
them by hundreds, for the sake of the
hides merely, leaving behind broad
and well defined trail, marked by
bleaching bones and decaying carcasses
As the herd has been approaching
nearer the agency, the Indians have
been getting more restive at the en-
croachment Of the whites upon their
hunting grounds and this wanton de-
sIruction Of their game, and at length
have started out to drive off the in
truders. The whites, on the other
hand, learning the hostile intentions
Of the Indians, have banded together
for self defense, and are preparing to
stand siege. 1t is reported that
about 800 men are engaged in this
slaughter Of buffalo, and in case a
meeting should occur some hot work
is expected, as the party contains
many old frontiersmen and Indian
fighters, and the Yanktonians are said
to be determined to resist this raid on
the rapidly decreasing game in theil
reservation. Redwater is a small
stream flowing from the divide be.

SENATOR JOHNSTON, of Virginia,
it is reported, has expressed himself
in favor Of the election of President
and Secretary the FIRST day of the
meeting of the Senate, and the ap-
pointment of a Committee on Nomi-
nations to consist of three from each
side of the Chamber. Whatever nom
nations the President had to make
could go to this committee, and the
Senate could finish and adjourn in less
than week. He thinks also that the
committees as at present constituted
should remain, because they could be
of no possible use, and would die at
the end of the session. The coolest
heads and best advisers seem to be
found on the Democratic side.

THE Appeal Of this morning con
tains an able editorial touching various
matters which seem to be suggested
by the appearance of a new paper, the
MorningWorld, at Nashville. Extracts
are made apparently from the new
paper, and commented upon in a
vigorous style, covering good deal Of
ground. We do not propose to take
issue with our distinguished contem
porary, at present, except upon one
point. If we understand the Appeal,
it has become responsible for the
statement (1) that such a paper as the
World has been started (2) at Nash
vile. No doubt this was done in gooc
faith, and the Appeal may have direct
or circumstantial evidence Of this fact
which satisfies its own mind. But
may it not be mistaken or imposed
upon? We too received a printed
notice that such a paper was to be
started and gave it liberal notice
A request to exchange beforehand,
"even before the World was" was
complied with and the LEDGER sent
forward by mail to the paper that was
to be. We are out at least seven OF
eight copies of this paper besides free
notices which would be worth several
dollars at twenty cents line Cor fifteen
cents line for articles of over col.
umn.) Now, there may be such a
paper, but it has never come to this
Office, nor have we seen any afidavits
that sustain the assertion. The noted
old colored preacher in Richmond who
declares that the "sun do move,
draws big crowds Of elucated people
to hear him, but they are not con
vinced. The converse proposition
would be that "the World do move
and we call for the proof.
