WOrse Than we Thought.

The General of the army and the General commanding the Division of the Pacific differ seriously as to the number of hostile Indians who have set the whole military force of the United States at defiance for the past year or 30 on the southwestern from tier. Sheridan says the Indians num- Der forty-two; General Pope says they number thirty-two. If Sheridan's estimate is correct, we hope his earnest request that the army be increased from it's present strength of 25,00O men will be granted by Congress as soon as it convenes. The matter is & simple question of "rule of thres"- If 25,0O0 United States troops can't whip thirty-two bucks, how many United States troops will it take to fail to whip forty-two bucks?-San Francisco Daily Report.

TIE JARDINE CASE.

The Pastor Publishes Card Denyiug the
Accusations Against Him.
KANSAS CRY, No, June 22.-There is
another little Autter in the Jardine case,
caused by the publication ofa card from the
rector in the evening papers. 1t was sd-
dressed: ITO every decent, fair-minded
and Just man and woman in this city and in
this community. After rehesrsing the in
iuries he has received from newspaper pub.
lications Mr.. Jsrdine says: 81 now declare
before Almighty God, and in the presence
of every Just man in the community, that
everything in these deposihons which re-
fleets upon my character and life for
quarter Of century past, is utterly false,
and insist that my conduct since l have
reached the years of responsibility. has been
pure and unblamable, both as touching my
Office and my personsl conduct as a man,
and l appeal to the sense of justice and de-
cency inberentin every true man and woman
tor support against the ISLANDERS of unscru-
pulous antagonists. And now, supported
by my united and faithful congregation,
who knowing me know my innocence, and
by my own conscious rectitude, | shall
maintain my Just cause against every oppo
npnt, and l confidently expect to
be sustained by every fair minded
person in so doing"
1t is now understood that Mr.. Jardine will
pay no attention to Bishop Robertsou's re-
quest for him to resign, and that church
tIial will be held.

CAMP U. s. GRANT.

The g. A. Il. National Encampment at
Maine.
PORTLAND, Ms, June 22.-Just before
neon to-day heavy showers fell, and the
present indications favor cloudy day, with
occasional showers. Every available tent
in Camp U. s. Grant has been pitched, and
such members of the Grand Army as have
arrived have been assigned to their quarters.
Very few delegates have come in this morn
ing, but it is anticipated that great num-
Der will arrive this afternoon and evening.
The streets are full of visitors, many Of
whom have been here for several days, and
the Grand Army uniform is everywhere con-
spicuous.
1t looks, though, as if the numbers COM
ing had been overestimated. For tomorrow
10000 veterans and 20,OOS strangers would
now seem to be liberal estimate. But the
inflow has hardly begun and with this after
rooms arrivals things may look different.
To such as have attended other national en-
campments the comparative paucity Of the
decorations about town is noticeable. sSAt
Minneapolis last year, on the day proceed
ing that on which the encampment was
opened the whole city was one blaze Of
color. In Portland today the decorations
are the exception and not the rule, even
along the streets through which the process
sion will pass tomorrow. The finest dis
play, and it is really an elegant one, is made
at the Falmouth Hotel, which is not on
the line of march. A dozen public or bust.
ness building and as many dwelling houses
are handsomely adorned, but most Of the
stores and houses show only few flags or
streamers. Neither the custom house nor
the postof6ce is decorated.

FAIRFIELD, Me-, June 22.-Cousiderable
apprehension has been felt by the lumber
men of Fairfield, in the last few days, that
they would not get their logs that came out
of the east branch of the Kennebec. The
logs, when two miles below Indian pond dam,
began to form jam on the bend of the river
where the bank is from fifty to one hundred
'eet high. 1t was some time before anyone
knew that the logs were hung up and the
jam, containing fourteen million logs, was
formed A large amount Of powder was
deposited in the center of the jam, and
tull head Of wafer, ten feet, was collected
above, and at the proper moment the powder
was exploded. The jam with its fourteen
million logs went out in body crushing
aud rumbling with a noise which was heard
long distance. The logs we're piled twenty
feet high. and many of them were standing
upright in the jam. From the place where
he jam formed to the forks the current is
at the rate Of l6 miles hour.
