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.

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

, 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-
