of Viiginia, died suddenly at Richmond on
yesterday week. Ou the previous Friday
he h;id been unanimously ic-nomiiiated by
I ho Democratic Jr'tate convention for At-toiiioy'C-euoial.
He was rcgaided as Uie
foremost public man in Virginia, remark
able alike as a a profound lawyer, an elo
quent speaker and an accomplished writer.
His death has caused a deep feeling of re
gret throughout the State.
The Permanent International Exhibi
tion, at Philadelphia, olloi-s to merchants in
every pail of the country facilities such as
were never before presented for the exam
ination and comparison of all the vai ions
stjles and qualities of maun fact uicri goods
that are placed in the market. A day or
two spent there befoie making purchases
will enable any intelligent buyer to enter
the maiket at a great advantage. It has
surprised .ill who have visited the Exhi
bition to find so giand and complete a dis
p'ay of Americin indn tiies, while the
grouping of exhibits in classes is admirably
adapted to facilitate comparison.

We confidently expected to be able this
w eek to announce I he success of Gen.
Howard in his pursuit of Chief Joseph and
his Nez Perces waniors. The telegraph
has, however, failed to furnish any such
information. It was ten days on Wednes
day last since Howard started on his hunt
from General Gibbon's disastrous battle
ground. It appears that, Joseph went noith
from that point and then west, and that
on Tuesday last he hail got back into Idaho
and quietly encamped at Hole-in-the-Rock
stage station, ninety miles north of Fort
Hall. The country must patiently wait
until Howard is hcatd from. Some of the
army officers have expressed the envious
opinion that in this famous hunt after
Toseph, Ilowaid might carry the thine too
far and accidentally (ind him.
The strike for an increase of wages,
which was inaugurated several weeks ago
by the anthiacite miners in Luzerne coun
ty, still continues with no apparent pros
pi-ct of a compromise. Several thousand
moii are without employment ami are rest
less and discontented. At many poinfs
the cais and other propcily of the railroad
have lKicn interfered w ith threats made to
destroy the mines. In order to preset ve
the pan co and protect the mine properties
from wanton distinction, large numbcisof
the State militia are still on duty at Scran
ton, Plymouth and other places, and the
Governor says he will not remove t.hem
until perfect peace and safety are secured.
The miners declare that at the. present rate
of wages it is utterly impossible for them
tosuppoit themselves and their families,
while,on the oiherhand, the owners protest
that at the present price of coal they can
not increase tho pay without an absolute
loss to thomselves. Who will cut this
Gordeati knot between th? workingmen
and their employers? It is impossible to
say, for no outside power can interfere.
Winter is fast approaching and unless
these two conflicting elements are speedily
li unionized, the misery and destitution
that must surely follow aie tenible to
contemplate.
A communication from'.Johnstown pul
Jished in the last issue of tho Herald "( this
placp, and in which, from a Republican
Mandpoint, the political grievances of Mr.
Home, the independent candidate for I'ro
thonoary, are minutely set forth, must
have afforded pleasant reading to that gen
tleman, and served no doubt to convince
him that M)litios, like misery, often make
i man acquainted with strange bed fallows.
If Mr. Horne. and not Chailey fi'Dnnncll,
had been nominated for Prothonotary, the
communication referred to would have as
sumed quite another fdinpe, and its author
would have playrrl a tune on the Republi
can harp w ith a very dillerent set of strings.
Mr. Home would then have discovered to
his utter amazement that he was a rebel
sympathizer dining the war that hn was
n chronic offioe-seeker a bigoted and tin.

Hon. Mr. Mills, an official of the Cana
dian government, has lately been on a visit
to Washington for the purpose of securing
the peaceable return to bis reservation in I
Montana of Sitting Bull, who took his tribe
across the border last spring and isnowen-
camped some distance from Fort Walsh, in
British Columbia. The Canadian authori
ties, feaiiug that Sitting Bull, the "Sioux j
N.ipolcon" as he has been called, may be- !
come turbulent and incite trouble nmong
other Indian tribes, are very anxious to get j
him out of their country, and it is said that ;
Mr. Bull has expressed his willingness to ;
return on fair and honoraldo terms. Gen. j
Terry, f the army, and Gen. John McNeil,
of St. Louis, have been appointed a com- I
mission to go to British Columbia, invito
the retmwned Sioux chief to a conference,
and if possible relieve Canada of the big
and unruly elephant now on its hands. The
opinion is entertained by Borne of the offi
cers of the Indian Bureau at Washington
that the mission will be unsuccessful, but
that question of course remains yet to be
settled. While in Washington Mr. Mills
explained to Mr. Hayes the Canadian sys
tem of dealing with the Indians, and the
President is said to have expressed his in
tention of adopting a similar line of policy.
What the Canadian method of dealing with
the Indians is in the main we do not pre
cisely know, but its leading and most im
portant feature is that the government
takes care that all its agreements with and
promises made to the Indians are faithful
ly observed both in letter and in spirit.
The result has been that although there are
ninety thousand Indians in the Western
ortion of the Dominion of Canada, an In-
diau war or outbreak, such as aln ost an
nually takes place iu some one ..four west- I
ern territories, is unheard of in that coun-
tiy. It lias been more than once attempted
to pass a bill through Congress transferring
the management cf Indian affairs from the
office which now and heretofore has had it
in charge, and entrust it to the War De- !
'
partment. All efforts thus far to pass
such f bill have been successfully resisted
by the "Indian Ring," as it Is called, which j
is perhaps the most powerful and unscrupn- j
Ions combination of thieves and plunderers i
which controls legislation at Washington, j
The theory upon which the proposed trans
fer is based, is that officers of the regular j
army, holding their positions for life, would !
keep good faith wi h the Indians in alU
their dealings with them, and not cheat and
rob them, as neatly all the Indian agents, as (
well as Indian contractors, notoriously now
do. The present war with the Nez Perces
Indians had its origin in shameless fraud
and robbery pei pet rated by the agents of
the government. The rich lands of Joseph '
and White Bird in Idaho and Oregon were
coveted by a ring of land sharks with the
Indian agent at its head, and th'y must be
had, if, not by fair means then by foul.
James AV. Nesmiih, an ex-United States
Senator from Oreeon, a gentleman of high
character, and who has known the Nez
Perces tribe intimately for thirty four yew,
has recently written a letter on the subject
of the piesent outbreak, an extract from
which we published in our news depart
ment last week.
Gen. Crook, our g-.oatcsl Indian fichter,
and the highesi authority on the Indian
question, has often declaied that the cause
of neatly all our Indian wars can Ire direct
ly traced to the fraudulent and dishonest
conduct of the agents of the government.
An Indian, though rude and uncultivated,
possesses all the stionger attributes of hu
man nature, and will rebel if imposed or
1 1 ami led upon. That a different method
of dealing with him maybe adopted by the
government is a consummation devoutly to
bo wished
Y hat is known in the anthracite coal
region as flooding the mines is one of the
stupid as well as criminal means resorted
to by the inert who strike for higher waces
iu order to compel the owners of the mines
to accede to their demands. That men not
m
absolutely insane would be guilty of such
supreme and suicidal folly passes all human
comprehension, it being a wanton destruc
tion by the miners of the very sources upon
which they must depend for support. Sup-l-osejihe
striking coal miners fluod the
mines with water, so that they can proba
bly never be pumped ou' or worked again ?
They w ill then have succeeded not only in
destroying the capital invested in the mines,
but also in completely depriving themselves
of that kind of employment to which for
years they had been accustomed. The ,
mines having been destroyed by the work
men, there will be no work to be done, and ;
of course no wages to be earned. There is
no doubt that in nearly all of the anthra
cite coal fields the condition of the miners
is very deplorable ami ought to bo relieved
if it can be done, but relief will never come '.
from the wilful destruction of the minns. '
It is well known that for months the sup- '
ply of an hracite coal has far exceeded the
demand, and hence the mining force had j
f . lA L 1 I1AA.I f a.n . . .
...i i,-Miiurw, 17. no iowor chii compel i ne
public to buy more coal than it needs.
Until the dark cloud that hangs over all
the industries of the country passes away,
strikes, instead of lessening the now heavy
burdens of tho workingmen, will only add
to them increased weight.
Ir Is 9 severe strain on human credulity
to believe the accounts sent from the seat,
of war of the atrocities perpetrated by both
the Turkish and Russian soldiers. Ibn-ror
on horroi accumulates, and if even the one
hundredth part of what is told is true, jt is
enough to make each particular hair to

galian fugitives have been massacred iu

wounded have been burned ; towns have
been sacked and plundered, and men, wo

THE SECRETARY OF WAR
is considerably exercised over the recent
disaster to Col. Gibbon's command, but
thicks the defeat is not so bad as was rei
resentcd. The fault seems to be with
Frceilman's Bureau Howard, who subdi
vided the troops, thereby allowing the red j
skins to fight them in detail. This condi- .
tion of anaiison tho frontier will prevent
the Secretary of War, as well as most of
the other Secretaries, by a press of business
in their departments, from enjoying their
usual vacation.

and the gigantic war now being waged will
afford us the opportunity to outrival our
formidable competitors in the grain busi
ness for the present if not for all time to

tions for tho transportation of our bread
stuffs to British shores, and our farmers
should use every exertion to meet the in
creased demand, as it bids fair to continue.
We hope this information, which may be
relied upon, vill stimulate our farmers
to that activity which will enable them to
produce an inci eased supply and thereby
reap a good .rice for their grain, which
will replenish their depleted pockets, of
which they have so often complained.
BEN. HL'TiiKll ON THE SITUATION.
From an intimate friend of Ben. Butler's
we learn that his course in the next Con
gress will be to lake every advantage offer
ed to make xlilical capital out of the
Southern question, at the same time mak
ing a big fuss over the labor question with
a view of becooiing the workincmen's can
didal for the hi e House in ISfeO. If the
work'nimcn put forth a leader with no
more character than Ben. their cause will
receive the worst set back il has ever had,
and they will be ignored ei.titely as the re
sult of such an insult to common decency.
They would act wisely if they would
slow over such a nomination, for at present
they really have the masses with them;
but such nn adventure would sink them into
perpetual discredit.
BLAINE'S THREAT.
From private sources we learn that sun
stroke Blaine threatens thai while he will
advocate Ihe agitation of the labor ques
tion, he will not abandon his cowardly as
sault made over the shoulder of carpet
bagger Chamberlain upon Mr. Hayes.
Lis assertion that the convention iu Maine
was more than two to one in its opposition
to Mr. Haves, and that it was a matter of
extreme difficulty that he could keep the
convention from so expressing themselves,
turns out to be one of those "squat ed-toed''
lies that Greely invented. Since Proctor
Knott forced him t lie himself under the
etticoats of "a female memler" of his
own family for the stealing of those rail
road bonds, his veracity is not rcgaided as
Biblical teachings of ti n h, and Die friends
of Mr. Hayes declare they would not le
lieve an thing he says, particularly in re
gard to that convention. Mr. Hayes and
his Cabinet have it from the best of Re
publican authority that a large majority of
the convention were really supjnters of
his policy. Blaine should now join the
bland "Smiler" Colfax, as both of these
fellows have been caught in raihoad bond
stealing.
O I.D P ARALYTIC MORTON'S
sickness, from advices received at this writ
ing is not so bad (unfortunately for the
country) as was at firsr reported. His
physical condition has mo been gol for
a long t ime, and he has only been hobbling
around the Senate for years giving to the
world the l est evidence that bis mental
condition never was even good, but, on the
contrary, very, very bad. All of his at
tempted efforts at elocution and diffusion
of knowledge have resulted in nothing but.
bellicose hot headed ness, vituperation and
vindictiveness. His retirement from the
Senate would be hailed with pleasure by
the respectable and more liberal and fair
dealing members of his own party. He
has long been a sore upon the bmly politic.
THE SITTING St LL COMMISSION
m m
are evidently at. a
los for membership.
Gen. Crook, who is now in our city, lias
declined an invitation to act. as a member
thereof, and John elch, of Philadelphia,
has not as yet passed in his acceptance to
act as one of the Commissioners to treat
with his Royal Highness, Mr. Sitting Bull,
j ex-Americain plain dealer in Government
supplies and soldiers' scalps, now tempor
arily sojourning in Canada.
J DAME RUMOR

notice, keeping our "weather eye" opeu

THREE SWINDLERS ARRESTED HOW THEY
KA18ED CHECKS THEIR OPERATIONS
BELIEVED TO INVOLVE MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS.
CmcAOO. August 19. A report was pub
lished here yesterday by one of the morn- '
ing papers, relative to the arrest of certain ,
parties supposed to belong to a gang of j
forgcis, who had been operating extensive
ly in this city. New York and other piaccs. .
Inquiry of the officials here failed to elicit
any definite facts, and the story was gen
erally discredited. It is now known that
yesterday morning constable Hartman ar- j
rested iu this city two men named Weston !
and Gesner on a charge of forgery. It ap- j
pears that these men, working in connec- j
tion with a man named Stevens and other j
accomplices tbrnugbmit the country, bate
fr Bf,me Ume g,, carryj,l? u a system of
forcrcricH from which they have realized
large sums of money. In January last the
Third National Bank of New York was de
frauded out of twenty seven thousand dol
lars by means of checks puru ting to have
been drawn by Winslow, Lanier fc Co.
About the same time a check for forty
thousand dollars, purporting to have been
drawn by the New York Life Insurance
Company on the Union Trust Company of
.New l ork, waspresntcd and paio. 1 hero
had been other similar operations known,
but never made public. Representatives
of New York houses employed to investi
gate these forgeries have been following np
suspected parties for several months, and
have found tho leader of the gang. He is
a man of wealth and respectability, named
Stevens, alias Henderson, who has been
known hero as a speculator in grain and
stocks. Next, to him comes Nelson A. Ges
ner, a wealthy man of Minnesota, and for
merly a member of the Legislature of that
State. Associated wi:h th;m was one E.
B. Weston, of this city, formerly a real ;
estate agent. L pon examining tjesner s
trunk, after his arrest, it was found t con
tain a larce assortment of implements ne
cessary to his profession, including inks,
microscopes, acids, brushes, pens, tracing
implement, fcc. In Weston's possession
was found a number of washed diafts, on
which everything had been obliterated by
acid except the cashier's signature. When
doalimj ;n drafts it was the custom to buy
them for small amounts, and then obliter
ate with acid all ink marks except, the
cashict's name. Before this was done,
however, a careful tracing was taken.
Then when larger amounts were written in
on the face of the draft they had on the
tracinc a fac simile of a number of the let
ters and of the figures which were used in
the greater amounts. Iu dealing iu checks
they would learn from some one in a bank
or office of a firm depositing in a particular
bank just how the deposit stood, in order
not to overdraw the account. It is said
that some forged checks have been drawn
for sums as high as seventy five thousand
dollars. The developments so far indicate
that these men are part of an organized
gang of the most dangerous forcers that
has existed for years. It is estimated that
they have swindled numerous banks out of
millions of dollars. Stevens was arrested
near Grand Haven yosteiday, and is now
on his way to New York. The officers hav
ing in charge Weston and Gesner left for
New York with, their prisoners yesterday
evening.
