SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 187C-
A. Vi. Stone and Jay Gould.
■\Ve made brief editorial allusion yester
day to the telegram giving an account of
the kidnapping cf “Judge” Stone, of the
Circuit Court of Colorado, to prevent him
from qualifying the receiver he had al
ready appointed, and gave it as our im
pression that the proceeding, summary
and unlawful as it was, was really in the
interests of justice. This impression, it
appears, was correct. The facts in the
case, as we gather them from our New
York exchanges are about as follows :
Some months ago the Colorado Cen
tral Railroad was thrown out of the con
trolof the Union Pacific Railroad, owing
to informalities in the proxies which
were sent on by Jay Gould to bo voted
at the annual election. Parties opposed
to Gould’s interests took possession of
the Colorado Central Railroad, and Lave
been running the line in the interests of
the people whom it was built to bent fit.
Gould was unable to carry out his agree
ment with the Kansas Pacific Railroad
owiDg to this movement, and the Union
Pacific monopoly was threatened with
dissolution. In this emergency he, as
usual, invoked the aid of the courts, and
had a receiver appointed for the Colorado
Central Railroad by Stone at Boulder
City, Colorado. This was done to enable
the Union Pacific Railroad to regain
possession of the Colorado Central, the
receiver appointed, Mr. David H. Moffitt,
of Denver, being friendly to the Union
Pacific.
It is stated that the receiver will have
a fine time in taking possession, as the
inhabitants of the section of country de
pendent upon the Colorado Central are
determined that Jay Gould shall not in
terfere with their interests. The road
was built by subscriptions of people
along the line, and they believe that Jay
Gould is working to destroy the value cf
their investments, and to turn all of the
profits of the traffic into the Union Pacific
treasury. Rather than allow’ Gould’s re
ceiver to obtain possession, they will tear
up the rails and so destroy the road that
it will have to be rebuilt. Some
time ago the inhabitants had a
somewhat similar contest with
Union Pacific officials, in which they de
feated their contemplated action by force
until the action of the courts could be
invoked, which resulted in favor of the
people. The parties in possession of the
Colorado Central will immediately apply
to other courts to set aside the action of
Judge Stone, as they claim that interest
has been promptly paid upon all of the
Colorado Central Railroad's obligations*
and that a large surplus exists from the
workings of the line since it went into
possession of its present managers.
The Degraded Senate.
Under this head the New Ycrk Sun
says : The Republican Senate has stood
in the way of all substantial reforms
throughout the eight months and a half
that Congress has been in session. There
is not a redeeming feature in the pro
ceedings of the majority.
Every measure of the session looking
to retrenchment, economy and improve
ment in the civil service, has origi
nated in the Democratic House.
If measures of this class have been
finally passed, it has happened only
after a protracted struggle, in
which the Democrats of the House stood
squarely up to the work, while the Re
publican leaders in the Senate did their
best to defeat them. In the entire his
tory of the session there cannot be found
a solitary exception to this sweeping re
mark- In this respect the present jjpnale
has made the most infamous record in
the annals of that body.
The Republicans now have a majority
of nine in the Senate. The terms of
seventeen of the Republican members
expire in March next. There is every
reason to believe that the Democrats will
secure enough of these seats to give
them a majority of tw’o in the next
Senate. Then, with a majority of re
formers in each branch of Congress, and
with Sam Tilden in the White House,
the country will turn over a new leaf
indeed.
The Republicans have begun some lively
figuring on the receipts and disbursements
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870.
They claim that the expenditures fell
about $0,000,000 short of the Secretary
of the Treasury’s estimates, ard $18,000,-
000 short, of the preceding year. Now, if
the election of a Democratic Congress in
1874, and their exposures of rascality in
1875, have had such a marked effect in
keeping the government to a sense of
responsibility, what may we not hope
for from a Democratic administra
tion. As a matter of fact, however, it
must be borne in mind that everything
has been reduced, that the want of ma
terial to work upon^has limited the ad
ministration in its demands upon the
Treasury. Considering the distress of
the country $10,000,000 is a very slight
reduction. The reduction should have
been $75,000,000. The Democratic Con
gress obstructed by a Republican Senate
has made a reduction of $30,000,000. By
attempting reduction the Republican
party has shown the necessity for re
trenchment and its utter incapacity for
accomplishing it.
Amongst the bills which failed to pass
Congress was one for the immediate utili
zation of gold and silver bullion, to en
courage the coinage thereof, and to make
the standard silver dollar a full legal
tender, and another authorizing the Pres
ident to appoint commissioners to attend
an international conference upon the sub
ject of the relative value of gold and sil
ver. The Senate, however, a few minutes
before adjournment, took up aDd passed
the House joint resolution providing for
the appointment of a commission to in
quire into the change which has taken
place in the relative value of gold and
silver, and the causes thereof. The com
mittees from both houses have been ap
pointed, and the commission is expected
to make its leport upon the reassembling
of Congress in December.
Hon. Michael C. Kerr.
Our telegrams leave u^so little room to
hope that Speaker Kerr will ‘survive more
than a few hours longer, that a brief sketch
of his career will not be outof place here.
Hon. Michael C. Kerr, Representative
from the Third District of Indiana, and
who was elected Speaker of the Forty-
fourth Congress in December last, was a
native of Pennsylvania, having been born
in Crawford county, in that State, in
1827. The foundation of his education was
laid in the common schools of Crawford
county, but ho subsequently studied at
several academies, in the meantime teach
ing school and improving his mind by a
course of steady and profitable reading.
Having taken up his residence in Kentuc
ky, Mr. Kerr studied law in the Univer
sity of Louisville, where he graduated with
marked honors. After a short residence
in Kentucky he removed to New Albany,
Indiana. Here his talents and ability
soon brought him into notice. In 1856
he was elected to the Legislature of In
diana for two years. In this position he
enhanced his reputation and popularity
both by votes and speeches. His judg
ment was sound, and he had the courage
to vote for the right, no matter what in
fluence was brought to bear upon him
from interested parties. Besides serving
in the Legislature, Mr. Kerr also acted at
different periods as City Attorney, and
prosecuting attorney of Floyd count}*.
In 1862 he was chosen Reporter of
the Supreme Court of Indiana,
and edited with great ability and
clearness five volumes of the reports
of that body. In 1862 Mr. Kerr made
his appearance on a national platform
having been chosen to the Thirty-ninth
Congress. He was also re-electei in 1866,
186S, 1870 and 1874. In Congress the
career of Mr. Kerr was true to the prin
ciples which he professed. He opposed
all illegal schemes for abstracting money
from the National Treasury, insisted upon
public officers being held to a strict ac
count, urged the discontinuance of need
less office-holders, and recommended
bringing the government back to the ear
ly rules of honesty and economy. BeiDg
an impressive speaker, and at all times
fortified with facts, Mr. Kerr commanded
the attention of the House whenever he
spoke. His record is that of an honest,
upright and consistent Democrat, firm in
his principles without partisanship.
With the adjournment of Congress
there is no longer any presiding officer
over the House save Mr. Kerr, the duties
of Speaker pro tem. ending with the ses
aion. His death, therefore, will impose
on the House when it reassembles the
more than ordinarily important duty of
electing his successor, for during the
coming session the electoral votes are
be counted, and the programme already
announced of a determination to throw
out the vote of certain Southern States
in the event they go Democratic, admon
ishes the majority that whether the
Speaker or the Speaker pro tem., the
presiding officer of the next House must
be a man of great coolness, firmness and
decision, that the rights of the majority
of that body shall not be trampled on.
The Connecticut Peace Society seems
to be composed cf some very wise men.
In the resolutions adopted by the society,
a synopsis of which is published in our
dispatches, it is charged that the war now
going on against the Sioux was forced
upon the Indians in order to prevent the
reduction of the army, and it is but fair
to say that the charge is supported by
some very suspicious circumstances.
Our telegrams state that Crook and
Terry have joined forces, but, after all
their manceuvering, and reconnoitering,
and countermarching, they do not know
where the Indians are. It is too bad.
Crook thought Terry knew, and Terry
thought Crook knew, and now they know
that neither has any knowledge on this
important subject.
Ihe Silver Trick,
The truth about the trick of 1873 that
demonetized silver is coming out by de
grees, and before the matter is ended we
shall have the whole history of the dis
creditable trausa'ction. The Chicago
Tribune says “the certain English gen
tleman" who procured the passage
of the act through Congress was
gentleman named Leyd, representing
large moneyed interests." It tells us fur
ther that “the officers of the Treasury
especially Mr. Boutwell, and the director
of the mint and the Comptroller of the
Currency, and various other experts,
took part. The opinions of scientific
men and financiers in other countries
were taken, and the result of all was the
preparation of this bill. Beneath the
mass of details concerning the regulations
of the mint was hidden the dropping out
of the American dollar, and the erection
of gold as the sole legal tender of the
United States.
“Mr. Hooper, who had charge of the
bill in the House, was himself a capital
ist, a money-lender, and deeply and per
sonally interested in adding every possi
ble item to the value of public securities
in the hands of the holders. He repre
sented that class of men and that specia
interest. He had the confidence of the
speaker; andi^etween them they suc
cessfully repulsed all impertinent inquiries
as to what the bill contained, and as to
what would be its effects, and actually
passed it without permitting it be read or
printed.
“In the Senate, under the care of
Senator John Sherman, the bill was evi
dently in intelligent hands. In the sec
tion in which this radical change in the
legal standard of value and in the national
coinage was made there was not a word
indicating to an inexperienced eye that
any change was proposed. It did not
occur to Mr. Sherman to inform the
Senate that such a change was made, nor
did he explain that the effect, if not the
purpose, of the change was preparatory
to the approaching scarcity of gold and
the consequent addition to the value of
gold, and a proportionate addition to all
the indebtedness of the world which
was payable or could be made payable
gold.” With the exception of the
Englishman, Leyd, all the distinguished
persons here mentioned as agents in put
ting the bill through were Republicans :
the officers of the Treasury, Mr. Bout-
well, the Director of the Mint, the Comp
troller of the Currency, Mr. Hooker, the
Speaker of the House (Mr. Blaine), and
Senator Sherman—all were Republicans ;
and all, no doubt, knew what they were
doing.
Grant Trying to “Revise” a Veto.
On the last day of the session, Grant
made a communication to the Senate
which suprised even his Radical friends
in that body. Early in the morning he
sent in a message vetoing a bill providing
for the sale cf certain Indian lands in
Kansas and Nebraska. An hour or two
afterwards he sent in %nother message
asking to withdraw his veto, and that the
bill be returned to him for his signature.
Senators stood aghast at this extraordi
nary communication. The Republican
Senators did not give the Democratic Sen
ators any time to comment, but immediate
ly several of them in succession arose and
said the request of the President must
not be entertained for one instant. One
Senator said the President might as well
tear a leaf cut of the statute books and
suppose that would abrogate a law as to
make such a request, and another re
marked that the President could with as
much propriety ask for the return of a
bill which he had signed. It was deter
mined at last to take no notice of the
second message of the President, but the
bill and the veto message were taken up,
and the bill passed over the veto.

the dying speaker.
Washington, August 18.—Speaker Kerr
probably will not live through the night.
Mr. Schurz and some of his brothel
Independents who are supporting Gov.
Hayes, make large calculations on what
Gov. Hayes will do if he shall be elected.
They do not take into account one very
important consideration—what the lead
ers of his party will permit him to.
And yet this cannot be omitted
in the estimate, for, as Senator Morton
significantly says in his Indianapolis
speech: “ The administration of any
President will be in the main what the
party which elected him makes it. If he
breaks away from his party, the chances
are that he will be broken down. In a
government of parlies like ours the
President must have bis friends. Tbe
me^ to whom he owes his election, who
have defended him from assaults, to
whom he must look for support in the
future, will ordinarily control his action,
and he will do nothing offensive to
them.”
Hon. George W. Julian, of Indiana, a
life long Practical, and for many years a
member of Congress from that State,
has consented to canvass Indiana for
Tilden and Hendrioks and reform.. Hon.
JohnTi. Cravens, another life long Radi
cal, will also support Tilden and Hen
dricks. The nomination of Harrison for
Governor of Indiana is not considered as
strong as if Pratt had been nominated.
A trustworthy correspondent from
Winona, Mississippi, writes to the Al
bany Argun that thousands of negroes iu
that State will vote for Tilden and
Hendricks. He also says: “We have
peace and quiet throughout the State,
and intend to keep it so unless the Radi
cal leaders force the negroes to instigate
a row.”
The Vicksburg Herald says that the ef
fect on that city of the cut-off in the
Mississippi can be now calculated pretty
correctly, and that it will be beneficial
rather than otherwise. It believes that
the channel of the river will not for many
years be much more than half a mile
from the city.
The story goes, belie vs it whosoever
will, that the sun was so hot on Sunday
last that apples on a tree in the Rev. W.
A. Drew’s garden at Augusta, Me., were
actually baked on the side exposed to its
rays. The mercury indicated a heat of
138 degrees.
The pending amendments to the “Can-
|by” Constitution of North Carolina pro
vide that white and colored children shall
be kept separate in schools, and forbid
marriages between whites and blacks, to
the third generation inclusive.
Midnight Telegrams.
THE
PROTEST OF THE BRITISH
AMERICAN LEGATIONS.
THE INDIAN WAR.
St. Paul, August 18.—Captain Collins, of
the Seventeenth Infantry, arrived at Bis
marck irom Fort Bulord last night. He
fails to confirm tho squaw reports of the
recent battle between tne Indians anil Ter
ry’s forces. Scouts from Terry’s columns,
two days out, arrived at Buford Monday
evening. Couriers who arrived at the sup
ply depot, at the mouth of the Rosebud, ou
the 11th inst.. report that Terry’s command
mot the head of General Crook’s
command early ou the 10th. Crook’s men
were following a large Indian trail in tho
direction of Powder river. Upon a short
consultation of Generals Terry aud Crook
the commands wero united and proceeded
on the trail that Gen. Crook was following.
The Fifth Infantry was detached from
Terry’s column and ordered back to the
stockade, with instructions to take
40,000 rations, embark ou the steamer
Far West and patrol tho Yellowstone
river as far as the mouth of
Powder river, and ascertain whether or not
the Iudians had succeeded iu crossing the
Yellowstone. If not, they are to prevent
them. In the meantime Terry and Crook
will come down on them with tlieir combined
commands and force a battle. It is not posi
tively known whether the Indians are on
Tongue river or Powder river. Five hun
dred Crows volunteered to join Gen. Terry.
They were at once rationed and forwarded
to him. They will be sent down the north
side of the river with Gen. Miles’s command,
the Fifth Infantry.
“The Tioneer Press and Tribune lias a spe
cial dispatch from Bismarck, this evei ing,
containing interesting news additional to
that already sent. The steamer Silver Lake
arrived from above to-day. She reports that
the steamer Far West was fired into a few
miles below Fort Buford on Tuesday by a par
ty of about fifty Indians. No damage was
done. Well armed Iudians recently ran off' a
herd of 400 beef cattle from the Black
Hills, killing all but one. A large number
of horses have also been ruu off, the boys
killing one Indian, aud his head, preserved
in alcohol, will be sent to Washington when
opportunity presents. Grey Eagle’s scalp,
by Dave Campbell, was sent to the Bismarck
Tribune by the steamer Josephine ; so that
settles the question whether the fellow was
scalped.
“Medicine Cloud aud party, belonging to
Fort Peck Agency, whom Major Mitchell,
Indian Agent at Fort Peck, sent to bitting
Bull with a message, May 27, has re
turned to the agency. The message by
Mitchell to Sitting Bull was to the effect that
he desired him to come and visit Fort Peck,
hoping that such a step would result iu his
returning upon the reservation.
THE SPEAKER’S DEATH MOMENTARILY EX
PECTED.
Rockbridge, Alum Springs, Virginia,
August 18.—Mr. Kerr suffered most intense
agony up to midnight last night, but there
after rested more comfortably. His death
is now a question only of time, and that
a short oue. His mind is clear and
active; his will as firm and resolute
as ever. Hon. 8. 8. Cox aud wife
have just arrived to pay the last
tributes to the dying 8peaker. He converses
with them as freely as his fast failing
strength will allow. Hou. Montgomery Blair
lias had to-day quite a lengthy conversation
with Mr. Kerr. Dr. Pope says he canuot
last much longer, that his food refuses to
assimilate, and he is now living wholly upon
his own flesh. This will soon fail him. Mr.
Kerr is surrounded by his friends, who
are momentarily expecting his death.
This morniDg he dictated a dispatch to
his law partner at New Albany, iu which,
after telling of his intense pain, he says, “the
end of it all is near at hand. I wish it could
be painless, but I fear not. When the news
comes to you at home, bear it bravely aud
resignedly, for I will. My heart still turns
to you with the warmest love.” His
death may be looked for before night, at
least before morning.
THE TURKISH OUTRAGES IN BULGARIA.
London, August 18.—A correspondent of
the Daily Xeics, in a letter dated Philippo-
polis, August 9, says: “The Turkish report
of outrages in Bulgaria is such a tissue of
impudent falsehoods that it calls forth the *
protest of Mr. Baring, of the British Lega
tion, and Mr. Schuyler, of the American
Legation, at Constantinople. The Turkish
authorities are doing nothing to restrain
the Mohammedan population. Armed
Turks continue to commit acts
of violence daily. Christian inhabitants
are robbed if they go outside of their vil
lages. Women are assaulted and violated
every day. The Turks drive away cattlo
and ’sell them. The suffering of the Chris
tian people is very great, aud immediate
relief is needed. The same correspondent
writes, on the 10th, that three thousand
men, women and children were killed by the
Turks at Otulkkui. Children were carried
about impaled on bayonets, and human
beings were burned alive. At Bazard-
jik a thousand persons were killed.
GRAND BALL AT THE WHITE SULPHUR.
Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs,
W. Va., August 18.—A grand ball, under the
auspices of the Lee Monument Association,
iu aid of the fund for the erection of an
equestrian statue of General R. E. Lee in
Richmond, took place here to-night. There
have been large arrivals from all directions,
and the ball is a most brilliant affair.
Among the managers are a number of
ex-Confederate and several ex-Federal of
ficers. The display of dresses in the ball
room was the finest of the seasoD, and the
attendance very large, including many
prominent persons. The amount realized
will equal tbe most sanguine expectation.
An elegaut banquet was furnished to the
participants and visitors free of charge by
Messrs. Peyton & Co., the proprietors o*f
the springs.’
LIVERPOOL GRAIN MARKET.
Liverpool, August 18.—A leading grain
circular says the excessive heat, which is
rapidly maturing the grain crops in the
north of England and Scotland, with the
increasing quantity of new wheat brought
forward by the farmers, will cause a farther
depression this week to an extent in most
markets of fully one shilling per quarter.

sand dollars, to be void on condition that the
said William T. Spencer make his personal ap
pearance before the next Superior Court to be
held for said county of Camden, to answer for
the offense of perjury, for which offense the
