General Howard Next The Order for BU Removal Hourly Expected Gene ral Grant's rosltlon A New Cabinet to be Formed Stecdman and Ronsscaa T8. Sheridan, Etc. Yowi the JV. y. Tribune. Washington, August 22. It la now a settled fact that General Howard will bo relieved lrora kit position as Commissioner of the Freednien's Buretiu. Ihe President baa contemplated Kakine tlie chantre for a long time past, but not ontil Mr. btanton and General Sheridan were removed did he detlnitelv decide to act In Gene ral Howard's case Immediately. The order tor the removal of the General may be looked lor this week, Indeed is expected every day at the Headquarters of the Freedmen's Bureau. Gene ral Grant is also opposing this step of the Presi dent, and has written, or wilt have a protest similar to those oa the removal of Mr. Stanton and General Sheridan. The coun-e of the Tribune towards Grant has determined those ot his friends who manage his Presidential canvass to make him pronounce his adhesion to Congress. The General to day an nounced that he would hold no communication with newspaper correspondents. During the present troubles, all cards of admission to him were refused in the most gentlemanly manner by the amiable General Porter. The friends of Grant steadily assert that Grant's letters to Johnson a boat the removal ol Stanton and fcfceridan are radical and decided. The friends of the President, on the contrary, say that General Grant made merely a cold and formal objection to the removal of Stanton and Sheri dan. You can select either story. There are many of our radical friends who assert that Grant is all right, but no evidence is yet given. The Intelligencer to-morrow will nrge the re moval of Mr. Seward. As an editor of that paper was in consultation with him last night, this is significant The President is understood to have said that he would accept the resignations of Mr. McCulloch. Mr. Welles, and Mr. Randall. He wants to make a new deal, and have fresh cards for the remainder of the term. You may regard this as semi-official. Mr. Adams, Mr. Bingham, Governor Andrew, Senator Sherman, and Senators Dixon, Anthony, and Fessenden, all are mentioned in connection with Cabinet appointments. The work of chancing the Southern generals and all generals not in harmony with the Presi dent will continue. Terry and the illustrious Sheridan have been sent out to fight the Indians and guard wagon trains. Howard will soon follow. Sickles' head is in danger. He will probably be sent to New Mexico, while Pope will be returned to the Sioux country. Meade will probably take Sickles' place, and fialleck the place of Pope. Jt is said, on good authority, that Sheridan had made out an order for the arrest and trial before a military commission of General Steed nan and General Rousseau, lor impeding recon struction. The law gives him that power. Rousseau and Stecdman suddenly left New Or leans, and the arrest was thus prevented. General Thorn and th Fifth Military District. From Vie N. Y. Time: The statement telegraphed from Louisville that General Thomus left that city yesterday afternoon for New Orleans must be erroneous. A despatch received from the headquarters of the Department ot the Cumberland, dated yester day, states that General Thomas bas been absent for a few days at some springs la West Virginia, where he is being treated for an affection of the liver. The despatch, which is from the Medical Director of the Department, further states that General Thomas' health has been quite poor for nonie time, and that the transfer to New Orleans at the present time will be at great peril. With regard to General Thomas' views of the Reconstruction acts, it is known that the Presi dent has at different times during the past six months urged upon him the propriety of his taking command of the Fifth Military District, lie had previously declined the command of the Third District, and he met the President' propositions ia this case with an equally earnest declaration that he felt himself unfitted lor the administration of such a military-political trust, at the same time ex pressing the hope that General Sheridan would be allowed to continue the work he had begun with so much vigor: "for," said he, "so far as the interpretation of the acts of Congress Is concerned, mere is reaiiy lime ainerence oe tween General Sheridan and myself." At the time of bis last visit to this city he was again approached by the Pmident, but urged the necessity of his preseace in Tennessee as a reason why he should not be transferred. In ?rivate conversation at this time, General nomas expressed the hope that he had pre vailed upon the President not to transfer him from his present command, aud also the hope that General Sheridan, whose line ol policy he said he should certainly follow, if the responsi bility were his, would not be removed in the midst of his work. General Order Regarding- Rebel Debts. General Sickles continues to enforce General Order No. 10 regarding the collection of Rebel debts In Bis district, pendiog the consideration of the points he has presented ugainst rescind ing it. The chief point urged by General Sickles is understood to be that concerning the order paragraphs one and two, which stay all collections or causes of action arising be tween December 19, 18C0, and May 15, 1865. Of course, in the State courts proceedings can not go on; but the Rebels evade the difficulty by transferring their debts to citizens of other States, and thus throwing them into the juris diction of the United States Courts in North Carolina and South Carolina, as the case may be. The courts try the cases and enforce judg ment, so that the order is eva led with impu nity. General Sickles telegraphed General Giant this result, and was directed to con tinue the enforcement of the order for the present. Military District Commanders. It is again given out with an air of authority that there is soon to be a convocation of the military district commanders In this city, aud that Major-General 'ihoniat will be ordered here betore proceeding to New Orleans. There is no probability of any surh meeting taking place, unless the President orders it for the express purpose of revising their action and giving them new Instructions. General Grant certainly sees no necessity for it, as Is evident trom his expl'clt instructions to General Thomas legardlng his line of duty on assumiug his new command. The only commander whom General Grant has ordered to repair to Washington is General Sheridan, after he has turned over his command to General Thomas. General Grant's aversion to the presence of officers ot any rank in Wash in.rtnn. under almost any circumstances, is well known, and the dispersion of the regiment of etaff Olltcers wnicn una just mn-u yitu; is pretty good evidence of it r Th CntiuMe.. after a verv short existence. las been withdrawn at the liaymarket; the Love Chase, with Miss ceagwicK as '-t,on Stance," having been substituted for it. STATE OF THE NATION. Great Speeches of Wade and Sherman- T11K VICE-PRESIDENT ON DEMOCRACY. Sherman Ventilates our Financial System Etc., Kte., Bte., Kte., Kte, Kte, Speech mt Senator Wade. At a Republican meeting held in Marietta, Ohio, on the 20th Inst., after announcing that bis platform lor the last thirty years had been "exact and equal justice to all men," Mr. Wade reviewed the course of Judge Thurman and Val landigham, and then came down to the great issues of the campaign as follows: There Is a new element In our canvass, now, that encourages those who oppose us to make one more struggle for tbe mastery; but it Is only the logical and legitimate confluence to all you have done before. The right ot colored men to suffrage Is but tbe legiti mate and logical deduction trom what you have already done. That question was first presented to you. Is there any man here so blind to what he was duiiig when you came up aud ho gloriously sustained our Republican candidate four years ago. that he should be Induced to change that course at this time? Let the Republican party stand up to their Inte grity with that same slnKleuess of purpose aud devo tion to the light and duty which they have ever maintained, and this next election will be the last nail In the coflln of this accursed Democracy, who have contended for nothing but partial right and spe cial privileges, and the dumlnallou of the few over the many. (Applause.) Do right once more, and I shall not again have occasion to call your attention to this Important subject. Let the colored men of Ohio come up to the ballot-box and vole. Mr. Wade then referred to the course of Val landigham and Thurman during the war, saying that the former was a bold, opeu traitor, while the latter was a sneaking one. The speaker then referred to the loyalty of tbe blacks during the war, and said: I tell you, my friends, we are making history very fast. Ihe man who has been ldeutiiiud on the part ot the Government with tbe great struggle ot tbe past few years In the country, and has stood side by side with the Republican party, bas a proud record. This nation has made advancements beyond what any nation has ever made before. We are looked to by all tbe struggling millions of Europe, and we know that in the war through which we have Just passf d tbe despotisms of Europe look on with great Interest, Every aristocrat and despot In Europe was In ;harmony with Vallandigbam, Thurman & Co. They were feartul that, through our success, the people of Europe would be emboldened to throw off the yoke of despotism. What were those aristocrats doing all that time? The Confederacy was sending emissaries to enlist these despotisms In their behalf, and to Invoke their assistance In overthrow ing this Hovers menu There was Slidell, who went to France, and Mason, who went to England. They were backed by aristocrats everywhere, and were trying to get support to aid them In revolutionizing the gfoilous Government under which we live. Cau disgrace go Inrtber? Can man plunge himself Into deeper degradation than when he Invokes a des- fiotism abroad to oome In and aid him in overthrow ng tbe glorious principles of government we have in herited from our futhers? One word as to the tyranny they accuse us of having com mitted npon those seceded Slates a tyranny, a frightful tyranny) Why, Air. Ewlng and I blush to say it, for he was said to be a good old Whig before the fall he wrote a letter to tbe Johnson Convention In which be an nounced deliberately the sentiment that at no time during the war could the seceded States have been excluded from Congress. Poor old clownl The only plea that we can make for him Is that be Is de mented, or he ought to be damned. (Laughter,) Per mit Rebels to sit In the councils of this nation to-day, to legislate lor tbe Government they were lately in voking the aid ot forolgn countries to destroy! Why, tbe man's a fool. (Applause.) But be Is no bigger fool than '1 burmao. for that Is bis doctrine to-day. Did you ever hear such a thing? We are great tyrants In Congress. We have dealt very harshly with these men very 1 Well, how hav we shrank from tbe good old principles of Washington, who was not thought to be much of a radical. lie waaa radical, though, and if he were alive to-day he would be as bad as I am. In the days of General Washington, while be was President of Hie United Btatee, Con gress, taking Into consideration the fact that Rebels might arise at some period, passed upon thai subject, and made it punishable by death and confiscation lor any man to levy war against the Government of the united Stales. General Washington recom mended that law; Congress passed it, and General Washington signed it, lie was no man of shams. Suppose that such a man as Jeff. Davis, or Toombs, or General Lee, or any of the rest of them, under tbe provisions of that law, bad fallen under the Jurisdiction of General Washington when he was President. How much would you have given for his chance? Mot very much, I guess. We know Just what be would have done by what be did. General Arnold undertook to sell out and go over to tbe British Government. Major Andre, who had come into the United States to make the arrangement with Arnold, was caught. General Washington said to tbe British Government, "If you will deliver to me the traitor, Arnold, I will surrender Major Andre unhurt to you. I want to get that devil of a traitor. I don't seek the blood of Andre; he Is a foreigner, and I don't want to execute him; o If you will surrender Arnold, you can take Andre.'' That shows what Washington would have uooe with these men. What would he have done with Valiaudlgham? Vallaudlgham went as far In endeavoring to betray this nation as General Arnold ever went. That is to say, he did all that his dviiiau ability could find means of doing, In tbe cause of trea son, and if he had fallen under tbe Jurisdiction of General Washington, he and tbe w hole accursed posse of tbe leaders of this Rebellion would have lost their neckB. (Applause.) It ought to have been done. I tell you, when men commit the most flagrant crimes known to the law, and tbe law provides for their pun ishment, It Is a weakness and a wlekedness to spare them. (Applause.) Bow many have fallen because we did not dolt? A man may seem to act with hu manity, mu reauy. while he is dealing leniently with these devils who have done such mischief, be la doing a great Injury to hundreds and thousands of others. But, say Thurman and Vallaadigtiam, you are erect ing a despotism over them; you won't let them coins Into Congress to aid you ia tbe administration of tbe Government. Did you ever bear such a plea aa that befort? Is it not a little marvellous that this nation has never visited tbe law upon the bead or any traitor? bir, tbe blood ot hundreds I was about to say millions of young men, the flower of our youth, has been sacrificed to this Rebellion, and I blush to say the retribution of tbe law Is not being vlsiied upon a single one ot their beads, until, from the perfe a Im niuutty they enjoy, treason begins to be respectable. Mr. Wade proceeded as follows: Now I want to say one word about tbe success of our great principles. For, aa I have already stated, I don't address tuts argument to any man who, In the Rebellion, atooa oy it ana syinpaimzea wun it, aua who. when our troubles were thickest upon us. cot uu a convicted traitor as a candidate lor Governor, aud stood out against all the canvassing, and begging, aud pleading thai was cone to save tue. country, i uou t address argument to those men. 1 want to speak to you who have been Identified with this good old Re publican party, in eucouraglug works for the success of these great and glorious principles we have hold so long; lor such a spectacle never came neiore tuis ae- traved world of ours before. Just reltectupon it. What la&ithls party done that we are branded as radicals and abolitionists, and all that ? Have we not grown from a cloud no bigger than a man's hand into a great power in tbe laud a pariy which now predominates over tnis iuuq ror great gooo r wny uou t muae uieu reflect on that? Why don't they try to lind out what has dwindled them to uoihlug. and bu.lt us up to buchapower? It Is the great spirit of righteousness permeating ana pervau'ng the party wun which we have acted. We have s'ood gloriously by tbe country aud by our principles; and, with the exception of one veur since the ereat Reoubllcau Dartv was orga nized, li has met with nothing but victory. These men don't appear to understand why tbe old Demo cratic parly bas fallen under the bau of the people, and ha become a hissing and a ov word amoi g men. Why Is It? Because they have departed from every principle of republl ranlsru. They pretended to act upon tbe prin ciples of old Thomas Jefferson glorloiiB old patriot ! I revere him aa much aa the best of ibetu. lie laid down the principles we have taken up and carried forward o triumphantly, because they were founded iu republlcaulsm aud rlghteousneus: and, with the favor of Almighty God, that Is why we are triumphant, and why we shall not fall. Why, bro ther Tburuiau, on the principles you advocate to day. If you gain a victory you must plant your bat teries very high; you must storm the bebastopul of the Aimignty, auu suen jnu. o your principles can predominate I (Laughter.) He will not give you any asHlsiauce: you are warriug against Omnipotence and tbe benevolent designs the mighty has towards this nation, aud the principles ivrmiuv and Dartlaltty will be trampled under foot. You will be more of a sootllng and a byword for future generations than you have been In the past. Hut you, my Republican friends, who have stood so lik a rock against all these denudations of slavery and wrong, aud have never swerved from your Integrity, still you are to be a praise in the name ot tbe nation In future years your children aud your grandchildren will rise up and call you blessed. You are making no common history. Vou see how men lonk at tuM revvlutl yus, bve W what sud they IrlyU war. Was ever a more glorious consummail n to any political controversy than thai which con tributed In striking the shackles o(T S.ooo.txK) ot hu man beings? That Is what you have dune. You have taken by the band the poor and the needy. You have tangbt them their rights, and placed them onihe firm rock ot our Government, to participate therein, and to be a part and parcel thereof I tell you you may search the history ot the Revolution all over.and you will nowhere lind anything so glorious as Hi at. That Is what we have already attained. We have got almost to the end. We have almost placed the weak, tbe belplefl, and those who were trampled down, upon the rock of eternal Justice and security. Will you falter in the last step? Will you holdback when you have but one more effort to make? It there any man here who contemplates taking a step backward, wheu by so doing he will forfeit his right to glory in the future? You may have prejudices against these men, but your glorious rood reason for once must be brought to triumph over any such feel ing to enable you to endure to tbe end. For the great promise Is made not to him tnat begins and takes bold of the plough and looks back, but unto htm that in the good and glorious work perseveres to tbe end. Mr. Wade concluded his speech with a few remarks on the subject of the national debt. The Democrats, he said, were endeavoring to persuade the people that they ought to throw off this burden which was Incurred for the de fense of the country. His great principles of justice would never consent to that. He would not vote to repudiate one dollar of that debt. He believed the Democratic party would be buried bo deep in the October election that there would be no resurrection lor its iniquities, if there was lor its soul. Speech of Senator Sherman. Senator Sherman addressed an immense audi ence at Canton, Ohio, on the 20th instant. After an argumeht, in favor of negro suffrage, he turned his attention to the National finances, aa follows: There are some questions sot specially Involved Id this canvass, but which are very Important. 1 cau only allude to some ot them very orletty, and chietiy in reply to what Judge Itanuey said to you the other day. They are financial questions growing out of the war. You will observe that their doctors do not agree at all. Judge Thurman, Judge Runney, Mr. Vallandigbam, and no doubt many others, talk about debt aud taxes and banks merely to excite opposition, but the Democratic party have not and dare not take definite positions on any of them. Until the last "nigger" Is exhausted they will not meet fairly these great questions. Did tbe Union party unnecessarily Increase tbe debt, or Impose unequal or unjust taxes? On the con trary, our financial measures were as successful as our military measures. While all the efforts of the Democratic party Impaired our credit, made itdllll cult to negotiate loans, prolonged the war, and la creased tbe debt; aud now that the war Is over what party Is likely to lucrease the debt? We have the tact before us that the Onion party bas not only pre vented an Increase ot the debt, but its reduction bas been steady and rapid. On the 31st of Auguit, 18tf, it was I2.757,w,68ii; on tbe 1st day of November, 1061, It was (2,661,424,121, or a reduction or !a!6.379,665; on the 1st day of August, lKt)7, it was '451i,306,, or a total reduction of (246,497.25u n lees than two years, aud during these two years we paid off besides an Immeuse amount of floating debt, the debris ot the war. Suppose tbe Democratic party now in power, who does nut know that the debt would bo largely increased? The only sure Democratic States, Kentucky, Maryland, aud Delaware, are now demanding nutold millions as pay for their slaves. Every Democrat Is committed to their payment. All over the South they are preparing claims tor injuries during the war, A Democratic Congress would grant them all. Nearly every Demo cratic Senator or Member has committed himself to principles which, It adopted, will add to your debt rJO.0',0OO to tl,or',00ti,ouo. For this reason they con stantly exaggerate the amount or tbe public debt. Let us see what It Is. It Is liquidated, and we know to a dollar tbe amount I read from the last olliclal statement of the Secretary of tbe Treasury. Tbe aggregate debt, August l, was 2 81 1 ,3u 436. but of this Sj'j7,71D,6H3 Is in greenbacks and fractional cur rency, not paying Interest, leaving the Interest-bearing debt t2,IJ4,ieo,oov. Now, if 1 have my way, this debt will not be increased one dollar on any pretense whatever, but will be surely and gradually paid otT. It Is said that this dbt Is not subject to taxes, and this discrimination la unjust to other tax-payers. Now, this debt or properly in income held by our citizens Is subject to taxes by the United States. Con gress may Impose taxes on it as it does on other pro perty or Income. These bonds now pay Income tax. Rut it is not subject to State tax. This Is true, but whose lault is it 1 Did tbe Union party make this exemption? Not at all. It la made by the Constitu tion ot tbe United Slates, for which our Democratlo friends, when It suits their purpose, profess such pro found deferei ce. The Supreme Court ot the United States, as early as 1819, decided that bonds ot the United States are not subject to any tax by or under State authority. This decision bas been followed iu a multitude of cases since. In view of this very question, and of the certainty that when the war was over our restored credit would euaDle us to borrow money on more favorable terms, we alwavs kept In view, in Issuing bonds, tbe princi ple of "redeemability" at tbe pleasure ot the United Slates, in a short time. This was a fixed policy of your financial agents. This la tbe reason of your 6-208 and 10-409. The United States may pay off any por tion of our debt within a short time, either by taxes or by borrowing money on favorable terms. Nothing now stands in the war except tbe Treasury notes known as the 7.80s, which will soon be converted. When this process Is accomplished, the whole public debt Is in the most favorable shape, and may, from time to lime.be funded at a lower rate of interest, and so as to adjust our condition proper and right, both to tax-payers and tbe public creditors, on the question ot taxation. If we can sell them we can issue bonds expressly subject to State taxation, and with the proceeds pay off our outstanding bonds as tbey accrue, or may and which I think is far better retire our present bonds with bonds of a lower rale ot Interest, the reductiou of in terest being in tbe nature of a national tax on Gov ernment securities. But, fellow-citizens, ail these ar rangements must be upon the basis of tbe strictest observance of the public faith. National credit is our only reliance in times of war and peril. Debts cannot be enforced against a nation by courts of law, aud rest only upon honor and taltb. We caunoc afford to tarnish these. All that may be done consistently with these, to lighten our burdens, will be done by tbe Union party; but the malignant whisperings of Copperheads, who talk about debt and taxes, are In tended only to prepare you tor repudiation. Now. there Is a good deal said about our national banking system. As this is a creation of Congress, the right to change or modify it Is expressly reserved. Their right to Issue paper money rusts only upon tbe con sent of Congress, aud may be withdrawn at any time. Let us see bow this system stands. To secure the privilege ot issuing notes the banks must deposit with the Treasurer ot the United States Government bonds exceeding by ten per cent, tbe amount of (heir circulation, thus furnishing a stable market for our bonds. They must redeem their nates at their coun teis and at centres of redemption, thus furnishing a convertible currency. Tbey must keep on hand in United States money or greenbacks about twenty-five per cent, of their circulation as deposits. They must pay heavy taxes to tbe United States, amounting, last year, to fa.ooO.MS, aud to the States, amounting to over six millions more. All Ibeir interests are inter, laced with the credit of tbe National Governmeut. They absorbed and took the place of the State banting system, which was utterly destructive to the natloual credit during war, which furnished a cur reucy without security, and which the Untied States could neither receive nor pay out Tbey are convenient agencies In collecting the ifT.l1"1 Prou,otl" exchanges amougour people?

My couvlctiou Is that the National banking system works well, aud should not be tampered with, ex cept tosecureaiaireropportunliyamongtbe Slates to strengthen the security enjoined by circulation, aud iu time to make a national ceutre of redemption or clearing house, I never was much of a bank man, out while such agencies are demanded, as they are iu all new countries where capital is scarce, I believe the present system Is tar belter than we have ever had. and far better than for the United Stales Gov ernment to assume directly the haukiug operations of ihe people. Aud now, fellow-citizens, a taw words as to taxes, and I am done. The general prluclple of our Tax law Is to collect as much as possible fr mules ou Imported goods. The reasons are that such taxes are most easily collected Iu the sea board cities, and mainly at the single port or New 1 ork. They are mainly on artloles of luxury, such as silks, broadcloths, aud wiuef, and are paid by those who oy those who are able to pay at tax a ro laviuri nnnn articles that rAieui, in tuay be manufactured here, they protect our own In dustry aud diversify our products, aud Increase our wealth. We levy th ese taxes in goid, because goio. is the basis of all foreign commerce, aud we are thus provided with ample means to pay the Interest , or our debt. Now, In levying other taxes we select incomes overiluuo. and Impose five per ceot. duty n ""c, In comes. This Is the fairest mode of tales. Ii he d IU cully Is to ascertaining the amount of Income, but M the revenue otilceis become acquainted witu tne busi ness ol our cltlteus, this lax is more equally assessed, and yielded us last year over "'(KJ,'0'',' , 10 Kngland this Is the most uniform aud ntaD'e tax, andwlll be here.

To the extent that the tax prevents consumption no barm Is douev The JaUuiettcvUwlUie whisky liU the scandal end reproach of anr systam. It ongbt to. and will, wbea collected, yield so,(K0,04O. The taxes on Im ports, Incomes, whist y , and tobacco, In my Judgment, will now be amply nufllclent to par tbe lotwresl on our debt and meet necessary expenditures. The way, therefore, from tluie to time to throw off onr S' stern of InUrnal taxes, and yet preserve unurolsbed our natlonal credit, ' I notice that almost every scheme for new drafts on I ha pnhllo Treasury are almost alwavs supplied by Democrats In Congress. The way to secure economy Is by care In electing members of Congress. This is a personal and not a political question. After recon strnrtlon Is settled, the highest attribute. In my Judg ment, for a representative of the people, will be bis care and scrutiny In public expenditures. I believe, from Indications already shown, that the next Con gress, composed almost entirely of Republicans, will furnish ns with examples of strict economy In public expenditnres, and wise and prudent care or your financial Interests. THE YELLOW FEVER. The Epidemic In Galveston Mora Hospi tals Needed Ten Thousand Vnnccll mated Persons Subject t the Kever Great Need of the Howard Association An Appeal to the Charitable How ta Send Help. Ualvkhtod, August 13 We are in the midst of one of the most terrible epidemics mat has ever visited this city, it commenced early lu Jnly in a mild form, with but fourteen casus lu that month, and has now become as vloleut as I ever saw It In New Orleans). Home cases have not lived over twelve hours after the first symp toms appeared. In the Second and Third Wards almost every other bouse bas one or more. canes. It bas spread all over the prairie north aud west of us. I visited over forty cases in that direction yesterday, some of them a mile norm went of the cemetery. The hospitals are full and crowded, and some will have to be Improvised If we can get tne means. Entire blocks of stores are closed, and but little else is done besides attending to the sick and providing for the destitute; and it is estimated we have yet ten thousand unaccll mated persons bere for It to feed upon. Most of tbe cases can be saved with prompt and pro per treatment. Our people who have the means are using them freely, and the gentlemen of the Howard Association are doing all that experience and human effort can accomplish; but with all tbe economy that can be practised, It is my opinion, based on former experience, that we must have aid from the charitable abroad to the extent of at least $10,000 or $15,000, to supply the most urgent cases with blankets, medicines, nurses, food, etc, and then the energies of the several committees will be seriously taxed to adminis ter to each the minimum quantity to save or preserve life only. Cannot the metropolitan heart of New York send bometblng to strengthen the hands of the good Hatnarltaus of the Galveston Howard Association lor tbe performance of their great labors? The Finance Committee of that body James Sorley, J. B. Hoot, and 1. Makeler are gentlemen of lilch standing in our business community. Remittances might be sent to them; but perhaps a shorter abd better way would be to avail of the kindly disposition of the Mew York agents of tbe several lines of Galveston steamers. These are BpofTord, Tiles ton & Co.. Williams A Guion, and C. M. Mai lory & Co., of your city. Either of these well-known firms, I doubt not, would receive any contribu tions for this purpose, and expedite them to their destination. There were eleven deaths last night In one block eust of the market. THE INDIAN WAR. Indian Raid on tha Port Buford Cattle Herd The Savages Driven Off by Artil lery. Fob Buford, D. T., August 3. Yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock a large band of Teton Bloux made a raid on this fort. They were mounted on swift ponies and came down from the woods and Dlutls northwest of the fort. They came very rapidly, but very quietly, until they were within half a mile of the fort, where tbe herd was grazing. They then opened fire with old muskets and bows and arrows, killing several of the cattle and wounding others so that they had to be Killed. Among these were three choice cows, from which the major :part of the garrison's milk was obtained. The long roll soon brought tbe men under arms, and they fell In with a will, confidently hoping and expecting a fight with the redskins. Blessed are they who expect nothing, for they shall not be disappointed. Company C were deployed as skirmishers, and, from what we can find out, went after the Indi ans Indian fashion. This is Colonel Kankln's company, and as It was bere all last winter, the men of that company ought to know how to go after the Bloux. The artillery of Fort Buford was speedily brought to bear npon the Indians, and as shot and shell fell among them their horses were seen to fly in every direction. They retreated to tbe bluffs; there they dismounted and threw out a sort of picket line i. e,, three or four In dians wbo stood like trees and looked like trees until tbe shells from Forts Buford and Union kicked up a dnst around them, and that was the last that we saw of "tbe poor Indian." There was no one ..wounded. Doubtless some sensation writer, who bangs around lager beer saloons and other Bohemian resorts will report a massacre at Union and Buford perhaps worse than that reported last winter. Melancholy Suicide at Glenn's Falls, New York. Tbe Republican records a sad ease of suloide ol an accomplished young lady of booth Glenn's Falls. It says that Elvira Doty, aged about 28 years, the daughter of Mr. William Doty, who lives In South Glenn's Falls, has received the attentions of a young mau living at Moreau Station, employed in the oftloe of the Saratoga and Whitehall Railroad. Their intimacy has continued, apparently without Interruption, for nearly six years, and until the world at large bad regarded them as affianced lovers. On Saturday evening the young lady attended the theatrical exhibition at Union Hall. Scarcely had the performance eommenced, when the Moreau Station gentleman was observed to enter tbe hall, accompanied by a young lady. Elvira, seeing her truant lover, soon rose and left tne hall, and, refusing the company of her brother, started alone for home. She crossed tbe river bridge, and wending her way down a street which leads directly to the river, she plunged Into the water and was drowned. Early Sunday morning a neighbor discovered a Jockey bat lying upon a platform used for sorting 1ok. and at 8 o'clock the lifeless body of the unfortunate young lady was recovered.- H. Y. Tribune.

I can remember, too, a little lake surrounded by trees, set in the midst of a great meadow, beyond which I can see "our house;" aud be tween me and the lake a swift rivulet, filled with watercresses and stickle-backs, which rinnled away over a tiny bar of sand into the .

There is a spluttering and a pluneluir after a time at the end of tbe line, and Macarthy retreats to the bank, "There, Masther Terry; there's a purty tbrout for ye i Whisht till I get the hook out ov him, that he mlprhtn't hurt ye wid the teeth ov him.

From the London Post, August 10. The number of telegraphic despatches re celved at the central station in Paris has in creased so considerably that tbe administra tion, finding it impossible to send them by porters in all directions to their respective destinations, bas adopted a plan wliloh la already In use for the transmission of letters. A continuous series of iron tubes, sixty-five millimetres (two Inches and a half) In dia meter, has been laid down from tbe central of lice In tbe Hue de Orenelle-8t.-tiermalo, to the Hotel des Postes, and back again to the central office. This continuous line touches, besides, at the Cercle Imperial In tbe Rue Bolssy d' Anglais, then at the Grand Hotel, tbe Bourse, Hotel du Louvre, and the Hopltal de laCharite. Tbe despatches to be sent off are put Into a cylinder, rilling loosely into tbe tube, bnt provided with a leathern disk which closes the vertioal section of the tube completely. The means of propulsion adopted Is both simple and economical. At each sta tion there Is a elstern of water and a reservoir of oom pressed air; the water supplied by the town pipe merely serves to compress the air, while the latter, rushing into the transmission tube as soon as a communication with it Is open, drives the cylinder before it with extra ordinary celerity. Each cylinder may contain , as many as forty despatches, and a new one is ' sent off every ten minutes. There are many minute details in the work ing of tbls atmospheric line which we cannot stop to describe; there Is one, however, which deserves to be mentioned. Suppose one of the cyllndeis to be stopped on its way by some acci dent blocking up tbe passage: we must know wbere it is In order to set it right again. This Is done by simply putting the reservoir into communication with tbe obstructed tube; from tbe diminution of pressure observed, we may deduce the exact volume of the obstructed space, of which we know the diameter. With these data It is easy to find the leugtb of the tube, and consequently the point where the ob struction exists. Trade Between New Orleans and the Rio Grande. Baltimore, August 22. We learn from tbe New Orleans papers of the 18th instant that the steamer Clinton brought to that port from Brazos Santiago $300,000 in specie.

The goods taken by the Clinton from New Orleans had to be brought back, owing to the strict quarantine regulations at tbe port of Brazos. FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
