The President at the Capital and very
Jmy A Special Meeting of the
Cabinet To-day-The Case
of Mississippi.
The Special Cnlttnet Merlins.
Slcial Prxpalrh to Tht firming TtUgraph,
Wasuinoton, July 20. The President, ac
companied by his Private Secretary, General
Porter, and Secretary Fish, arrived here tills
morning. The members of the Cabinet had
been notified by telegraph last nlirht from
Philadelphia that the Cabinet meeting wuld
be held to-day, instead of to-morrow, the usual
day. In accordance with this notice, all tho
members of the Cabinet, except the PosttmHter
General.wcrc at the F.xecutive Mansion bv noon
witli their portfolios full of business demanding
the attention of the F.xecutive. The session
will he a protracted one. In addition to the
routine department business, which has accu
mulated during the President's absence, tho
situation in Virginia and Mississippi will be
considered.
The DrlcKiilion of Radical .IlisMNsipiilaiM
which is now here is very severe upon Judge
Pent as the proposed candidate for Governor.
They nrc here for the purpose of uririnur the
President to get Pent to withdraw, but they will
not be able to get an interview until to-morrow.
They denounce Dent as a carpet-ba!ri',er. and
say he did not pay the negroes who worked for
him on his plantation in Mississippi. There are
rumors here of Dent's withdrawing his name.
buthe denies any intention of doing so.
Work for llie I'reHident.
If the President can get through the mass of
public business which has accumulated on his
table, he will return to Long Branch to-morrow
evening. It is doubtful, however, if he can do
so, as there is a delegation from Texas and one
from Mississippi anxious to take up a part of
his time. I c did not see any callers to-day.
The New m from tlio Jnpancne Squadron.
Despatch to the Ansociattd Prtna.
Washington, July 29 Rear-Admiral Howan,
commanding the Asiatic squadron, in a despatch
dated Yokohama, June 2(i, says the Japanese
Parliament is yet in session, but not open to
foreigners. It is reported that many important
niensures are under consideration, mostly re
lating to foreigners, foreign intercourse, aud
finance.
It is probable the rebel forces on the island
of Yeddo have been captured or dispersed. The
country will then have peace. Many of the
princes have surrendered their long-cherished
rights for the general good.
Already have the Japanese far outstripped the
Chinese in progress towards Western civilization.
The Government has troops uniformed, and
armed with the latest improved breech-loading
guns. The naval vessels are still armed. A hos
pital has been built at Hiogo, aud is in charge
of an American surgeon and open to foreigners.
Lighthouses are built and lighted, and a light
ship is being equipped, to be stationed off Treaty
Point.
The coal mines arc successfully worked, and
supply our squadron with coal, while the Chi
nese refuse to allow foreigners to mine coal, and
will not mine themselves because of the Tuug-
Chur.
The Duke of Edinburgh Is expected hero the
beginning of August. The Euglish Vicc-Admi
ral says he will be received hb Captain of the
Galatea.
There are now in this port an iron-clad frigate
a iinc-01-battie snip, three gunnoats, anil two
transports, of the English squadron; one frigate
and two gwnNoats of the French, one Prussian
nnd one Dutch corvette, and the Monocacy and
the Piscataqua. The health of the squadron is
excellent.
DetnllM of the Struggle In Japan.
Derpateh to The Evening Telegraph,
Wamhngton, July 20. The following is from
an extract of the account given by Commander
Williams, of the steamer Oneida, of the engage
ment between the forces of the Mikado and those
of Enomoto in the harbor of Yeddo: On the 20th
of June the Mikado's fleet attacked the ships and
fortifications of the Northern party under Eno
moto. After being engaged for' twenty-six
hours, they had possession of the town and de
stroyed the Eagle and Emperor, belonging to the
Northern party having one of their own ves
sels, the Don Juan, blown up by a shell which
entered her magazine.
On the 21st, Commander Williams communi
cated with the Mikado, and was informed that
the situation was as follows: Tho forces of
Enomoto had possession of Kamldafort, situated
011 a creek of that name, and a line of earth
works extending across the peninsula to what is
called Sand Hills; they also had possession of
Fort lientcr. As near as Cotnin ander Williams
could learn, Enomoto had about oOOO men, and
the Mikado 8HK). The earthworks and forts
were invested, and a line of eutrenchments were
thrown up. preparatory to a regular siege of all
works held by Enoinoto's party. It was not
possible to ascertain what Eumnoto's forces
would do, because there was no telling what
amount of ammunition or provisions they had.

were about equally divided at six and seven pur

with the profit or loss of a stock operation that bor

that in all transactions which are made to assist

full legal rate. Commercial paper was sold at nine

The Trouble Between the I,ennere and Rail-
road itlen in iii
A correspondent of the Leavenworth Timet
writes as follows from Cato, Crawford county,
Kansas, under dato of July 18:
It becomes mr painful duty to inform you of
renewed acts of lawlessness committed on the
Neutral Lands. On Friday night, July 10, a
body of armed Leaguers attacked a party ot
railroad hands on Dry wood creek, seven miles
soutu oi rort !cott, ana two nines norm oi um
place. They ordered the hands to pile all their
tools, including wheelbarrows, picks, snaveis,
etc.. and all their tents and surveying instru
ments, into a huge pile, which the railroad hands
were lorced to do: they then gave inem niieen
minutes to leave the ground, and set fire to the
property of the railroad company, and all that
would burn was soon reduced to ashes.
No personal violence was used except in one
Instance. A laborer whom they had ordered oft
on a previous occasion was stripped of all his
clothing, as they said, for the purpose of apply
ing the lash: but while they wero engaged at
tending to the destruction of property, he made
his escape to a farm-house on Buck run, whero
he was cared for and clthcs furnished him.
Another band of Leaguers attacked a party ot
laborers farther south and west, who catno from
the Pawnee and Walnut creek districts, on the
same night. They also destroyed everything in
the shape of tools, tents, etc., that was combus
tible, and stole two mules from a teamster who
was in the employ of the railroad company.
Particular pains were taken by both these bands
of outlaws to screen themselves by covering
their heads with handkerchiefs and light pieces
of cloth, to avoid being recognized. None of
the railroad employes were allowed to approach
nearer than thirty feet to the mob.
There is a strip of neutral land, six miles by
twenty-four, in the southern part of Bourbon
county, nnd on this strip of land these acts of
lawlessness were committed, not, I am glad to
add. by the citizens of Bourbon county. The
parties who participated in this shameful pro
ceeding were all from Crawford and Cherokee
counties.
