front door. The court said 1t was only
question as to whether II tended TO sustain
Walsh's testimony. lngersol maintained
1t was not material point. He said tho

the prosecution. He asserted ii was not
necessary for intermediate holders to en-
dorse a postal draft. II Brady had dono
that he would have shown himself infinite

to be upon Cross-examination. The two
men walsh and Brady stood Numerically
opposite one another in their statements,

the situation. Several others OF the coun-
sci participated in the argument. Decision
was reserved until tomorrow and the court
adjourned.

Agent Townsend refers TO the fart that
armed men from both sides are ridi ~ hjtnsr

liable information he believes t2em to DO
without discipline and in defnoralized

limits OF their own reservation; but
when q portion of them carry then cam

IL high time some one should interfere and
compel them at least tc limit their hostile

an excellent opportunity for many despera-

depredatons on all sides, and there are in
dicati0ns they are not slow to take advan.

WEATHER REPORTS.
The secretary OF war has informed the
post-oflice department that, owing to mad
equate appropriations made by congress
for the support of the signal service, tho
chief signal officer will be unable 10
distribute as generally as heretofore
weather bulletins and other information
for the benefit of mariners and farmers,
and II is therefore particularly desi-
rable that postmasters should take
pains TO post .conspicuously in nlaees
accessible TO the public oil bulletins
which may be sent to them by the chief
probably Issue circular order TO p0stmas-
ters on the subject.

IMPERATIVE LAW.
During the closing hours OF the last ses-
sion OF congress bill passed authorizing

quire an expenditure Of ut least 5000 900.
