m 2ft Henry A. Tamos, Jr., - Mitor THURSDAY, MAY 29, ' ' General Grant' Return. Washington, May, 25. General Grant will leave Yokohama by the next Pacific mall steamer about the lost of June, and will reach Sau Fran cisco In the neighborhood of July 20. The arrangements for an excursion of citizens to meet him on bis arrival have been completed with the leading trunk lines between the east and Omaha, and from there over the roads of the Union and Central Pacific com panies. The programme of arrange ments is now being prepared, and will be made public shortly. Miss Ida Brown of Bangor, Me., has been offered the position of profes sor of mathematics at Wellesly (Mass.) Female College. Jay Cooke was in Washington on Saturday, hopeful about his new silver mine venture and confident that the Northern Pacific Railroad will be completed within ten years. The Louisiana Constitutional Con vention has rejected a proposition that the legislature shall not be paid until the other running expenses of the state and the interest on state debt are provided for. Governor "St. John of Kansas speaks cheerfully of the negro emlgra tion to his state and says that the ref ugees deserve as kind treatment as they extended to the Union soldiers who escaped from southern prisons during the war. So well pleased are the people of Illinois with the result of the biennial sessions of their Legislature that anew constitutional amendment has been proposed restricting business at the regular sessions to the passage of appro priation bills. The Governor can call extra sessions for other business, and pnee in six years general legislation can be had. Madam Anderson finished her task of walking 804 miles in 536 hours at Cincinnati at 9:20 o'clock last Satur day night. The Gazette says: There js every reason to believe that she acted fully up to her promise and actually walked one mile and a half every hour for twenty-two and one third days. During this time she has been very changeable In appearance, sometimes looking worn out and sleepy, and at other times looking quite fresh. A reporter of a Pittsburgh, Pa., newspaper has talked with seven hun dren business men in that city to ascer tain their preferences for President in I860. Of the Republicans, three hun dred and eighteen were found to be for Grant, eighty-nine for Hayes, fifty-one for Blaine, sixteen for Sher man, thirteen for Coukllng, and many scattering. Of the Democrats, one hundred and fifty-two were for Til den, eleven for Hendricks six for Mc Clellan, and five for Thurman. Of the Greenbackers, four preferred General Butler, and three Cooper or Kelley. Advices from Tuborville, Mo., say that a man named M'Mahon who was working for Mr Ellis, a well known farmer living near that place, commit ted a criminal assuult upon a grown up daughter of Ellis' on Thursday night and then fled. Ellis as soon as he learned what had happened, seized his gun and started in pursuit of Mc Mahon, but failing to find him he re turned for help. When near his home McMahon sprang upon him from a place of concealment, wrested his gun from him and shot him .dead. Great excitement prevailed In the neighborhood. A large party of citi cens is hunting for the culprit, and if found, quick justice will be meted out to him. A Newburyport, Mass., man was badly sold recently. He had a' great project on hand for boiling down bones o make "superphosphate." All the neighboring boys were engaged to col lect material. The man thought, however, that he would first try the bones as a fertilizer without burning. So, having a lot of grapevines, the first lot oj bones were planted around the roots of one vine. The boys saw the proceeding, so at night they dug them all up again. Bright and ' early the next morning they prersented themselves with a supposed new lot. The bones were bought again and put around a second vine. The process was repeated till fourteen vines had Been thus served and fourteen times had those identical bones been sold. Motion Journal. The " Postage Due " stamp will be -the next innovation in our postal sys tem. A recent act of Congress makes it the duty of Postmasters to affix to all mail matter that has reached its destination without full payment of postage an amount of stamps equal to the postage due. Heretofore the amount has been marked upon the let ter or package with stencil or pen This regulation will go into effect on the ibt of July next, and the new tamps for this purpose are being pre pared, and their issue will commence before the 1st of June. The denomi nations of these stamps are one, two, three and five cents. They are of a uniform 'reddish-brown color. On the upj er border the words "Postage Due" are printed in white letters, and on the lower border appears the de- nomination la letters of the same. By tola system th department will save a great deal of money now lost in null posVo&oe&of underpcid mail mitter. , 7 Washington Letter, f from mr regular Correspondent. Washington, D. C, May, 25th. 'It U getting "hot .as biases" here now, evidently settling down to steady summer weather, and Comtresetnen begin to show signs of uneasiness. This ii the off year the year they ex pect to escape the discomforts of sweat ing over appropriation bills In badly ventilated legislative halls, and many of them will not take kindly to the idea of sitting here through the long hot days of June. From present indi cations adjournment will take place within three weeks, and provision for all departments' will be made in the meantime. Although no caucus has been held since the last veto, the evident purpose of the Democratic leaders is not to cut off the supplies as a means of obtaining the legislation they desire, but to "appeal the case to the people." Many of them would like to let the army bill fail, but I do not think it can be done. Another delegation of Indians Is now here pleading for their rights, or for the redress of real or fancied wrongs. This is the third delegation since February, all representing dif ferent tribes. Chief Moses and his party, who returned last month ap parently huppy, are reported to be In an unpleasant attitude again. When he went away Moses said he would be a "bigger man than ever, iu conse quence of his success with the author ities, but something seems to have din pleased him since. He is aline looking Indian, but, I guess, a little ugly. The party now here are from the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe agency in the Indian Territory, and include Little Chief, Porcupine, Eagle Feather, High Wolf, Black Wolf and Young Wolf. The first named is the head of the band. They represent about 700 northern Cbeyennes, now stationed at the agency mentioned. Since they were brought down from the Sioux reserva tion, by order of the Interior Departs ment, they have complained of being taken away from their home, and say that the climate is unhealthy for them. The object of their visit is to induce the Government to let them go back. They are more like the wild red man of the forest than any of the former, talk no English, and go about clad in all the glory of paint and feathers, with blankets, beads and tomahawks. About all the children in Washington flock around the Tremont House, night and morning, to get a sight of them. It is most likely that their mission here will be successful. They have called on the President and on Secretury Sehurz.and, in the interview with the latter, Little Chief entered his plea that the band be permitted to go to their old home, where they could find buffalo. He urged that the Cheyennes and Arrapahoes, who badalways been friendly with the whites, and some times fought for them, should have at least as good a locality as Little Wolf's fighting band, who were still in the north. Dull Knife's band, he said de served the treatment they had re ceived, on- account of the oufruges they had committed on the whites. Secretary Schurz, replying, said that the buffalo were fast dying off", and that even Sitting Bull was compelled to come over the border to hunt food, sometimes to beg from the agencies. The fact was, the Indians could not live much longer by hunting This course, he thought, would be best for them now as a measure of self-protection, and it would soon be necessary as a measure of support. They will be given a medal, with the head of Grant stamped on it. a few dollars in money, and sent back to tell the band that the Great Father thinks the Indian Ter ritory a good enough place for them, and it they don't believe it they must fight. Commissioner Le Duo is catching it again. An investigation of affairs of the Agricultural Bureau has been ordered, one of the objects of which, it is said is to ascertain the facts concern ing a story which, if true, suggests that it might be wise to appoint a guardian for the Commissioner's ex clusive benefit. Having decided, a year or so ago, to invest some ten I thousand dollars in sugar cane for ex perimental purposes, and having found a man who knew just what the Government wanted in the way of sugar cane, the Commissioner of Agri culture gave him ten thousand dollars in cash and started him off. The sug;ir-cane purchasing agent must have received too much of a start; he has, in fact, gone so far away that he has not been beard from since he left. The situation is such that it reallv looks, as if it might be necessary lor Commissioner Le Duo to turn his at tention to cultivating a crop of detec tives. The soil and climate of this country are adapted to the growth of a certain tuna or detective which might be useful in cases like this. It is understood here that Secretary McCrury will resign the portfolio of the war department, to take the United States Circuit Judgeship made vacant by the resignation of Judge Dillon, whose circuit embraces Mis souri and Iowa. His resignation will not take effect until September: mean- .1... t J...l..:.i..ti.
