Brooks, of the late firm of Parkman & Brooks, rendered a verdict of guilty. The parties, except ltoddy, were sent to jail to-day. Roddy is in Enrope and not on trial. Tbe defence made many exceptions, which will be heard in tbe general term, which commences to-morrow. The convicts will be retained in jail here until the exceptions are heard and the oases finally disposed of. The parties are convicted on the oonrt of conspiracy to pass a fraudulent olaim, on which $57,000 were paid to Roddy. The unfortunate Sawyer, then Seoreta ry, only received $1,000 of the plunder. Tbe penalty is not less than one year's imprisonment at hard labor and a fine not less than $1,000. The jury made an exceptional recom mendation for mercy in favor of Sawyer, who, it was not proved, had received any Bhare. This is tbe famous Parkman, Brooks & Company’s cotton olaim of Memphis.

Special to Enquirer-Sun."] Washington, October 1. — Questions from various parts of the Union, as to whether Congress will certainly convene on Ootober 15th, are answered “Yes.” FREE ADVERTISEMENT OF THE “ NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. ” Washington, Oct. 1.—The present staff of the National Republican embraces Messrs. A. M. Clapp, editor-in-chief ; N. Davidson, managing editor; Charles L. Finnegan, A. B. Talcott, 11. P. Godwin, and Jas. Y. Potts, associates. The saluta tory, of nearly three columns, was gener • ally read and discussed. Extracts -.—“ We cannot consent, by silence, on that point, tbat our attitude toward the present National Administra* tion shall be misunderstood or misinter preted. Having devoted our best abili ties and efforts to secure the elevation of Gen. Ruth.erford B. Hayes to the Presi dency, as the representative of the Re publican party aud its pronounced princi ples, it will be our highest pleasure to sustain all his measures and policies that are in harmony with Republican princi ples, usages and traditions. To take any other course would, in our judgment, be inconsistent with political good faith and render us remiss in duty. To expect more or less of us now would be to impugn onr political integrity, and question our good sense as Republicans. We shall favor and advocate all public improvements, by which inter-State commerce may be promoted and strengthened, and tbe re. sources of the entire nation may be de veloped into a wide spread prosperity. We shall not contend for a tariff for pro tection, but for revenue. We are in favor of remoneUzing silver and making it a legal tender of equal value with gold for all debts due the Government, and the people. We shall advocate the issue of greenbacks backed by the national faith to an amount equal to the wants of busi ness and trade, and which shall be receiv ed the same as gold and silver for all dneB to the Government and individuals.” SENATOR WALLACE, RANDALL AND THE PENN SYLVANIA DELEGATION. It is confidently stated Senator Wallace of Pennsylvania, is opposing Randall for Speaker, and it is somewhat more loosely stated tbat the Pennsylvania delegation exoept one, is solid for Randall.

The Indian Coonoil closed to-day, the Government insisting that the Indians should move to the Missouri river, where their supplies are and will be next spring. They were all promised permission to move on reservations they have selected. PROBABILITIES SHOW A DEMOCRATIC SENATE ON FIRST ROLL CALL. Silver Senator Sharon, of Nevada, writes he will not be able to attend tbe extra session on account of private business. One Republican vote is lost. Judge Upton, of Oregon, was qualified to-day as Second Comptroller of the Treasury. It Beems very likely that nominations will be withheld nntil after the adjourn meat of the extra session, and then will be submitted to a special extra session of the Senate. Morton, of Iodiana, Republican, and Dennis, of Maryland, Democrat, will be gbsent on aooouut of siokness. The prob- Special to Enquirer-Sun,] Albany, September 81.—The Argus contains the following: The statement made by Mr. Tweed in his testimony before the committee of the New York Common Council relative to the Argus, alleging that this paper was sub sidized, not by paying money, but by put ting it in appropriation bills for work supposed to have been done by it, is sim ply and wholly false—false in detail and false in the total—without a shadow of foundation from the commencement to the end. The Argus Company never re** oeived one dollar for any printing not actually done in striot accordance with, and in full compliance of oontraot or or der properly given, and on due authority. Not one dollar was ever appropriated for tbe Argus or the Argus Company, ex oept in the annual supply bill, when the Argus bad a contract for doiug the legis lative printing. The money paid on ac count of such contract oarne from the State Comptroller, and was paid out by him on sworn vouchers, showing in detail the work whioh wbb paid for, the amount and character thereof, and when done, and those vouchers all passed tbe scrutiny of the Comptroller at that time. Tbe Evening Journal, referring to Tweed’s statement, says tbat whether those who were editors of the Journal during the pendency of tbe Tweed char ter, were or were not gailty of what is here alleged, those who succeeded them have no personal knowledge. It then quotes from the Journal of April lGtb, 18G7, showing that Mr. Geo. Dawson then announced his withdrawal from tho editorial management of the paper, and that Mr. Demers would have entire control; that Mr. Demers assumed control, with Mr. Hutchins as his assooi. ate, and remained editor nntil his death, May 25th, 1870, » month after the Tweed Legislature adjourned. Mr. Dawson then resumed his oontrol. Mr. Charles E. Smith, tbe present editor, bad no connec tion with the Journal nntil July, 1870. KENTUCKY. CASSIUS M. CLAY KILL8 A THREATENING NE GBO. Cincinnati, October 1.—Hon. Cassius M. Clay yesterday morning shot and in- stantly killed a negro named Perry White. Gen. Clay had employed Whited mother as cook, but finding she had been robbing him of silver plate and other ar ticles, discharged her. Yesterday morn ing he started fron his farm, six miles from Richmond, Ky., to visit a negro church in tbe neighborhood for the pur pose of hiring another servant. While on the way he perceived a loose horse in the pastaro near the roadside, and the ne gro Perry White endeavoring to conceal himself behind (he animal. White had threatened Clay’s life, and was known as a desperate . character, and upon per- ceiviug him, Clay immediately leaped down, confronted the negro and ordered him to throw np his hands. The negro obeyed, and Clay talked to him roughly, aud ordered him to leave the place, tell ing him that if he moved from his posi tion until Clay was remounted, he would kill him. As soon as Clay Btarted for his horso, the negro rushed after him, but Clay turned suddenly and fired twioe, bitting the negro in the neck and breast. Geu. Clay then rode to town and delivered himself to the authorities. The feeling of the community is entirely with Clay, as White had the reputation of being a bully and dangerous man. STRIKE IN KANSAS. Laborers on Kansas Cantral Rail road Strike. LEADER KILLED BY SHERIFF’S POSSE. COMMANDER OF POSSE ARRESTED TWICE AND RELEASED ON TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS BAIL. Leavenworth, Ootober 1.—The labor ers on tbe Kansas Central Narrow Gauge Railroad, at the end of the line near Giroleville, have been on a strike for three days past, beoanse they have not been paid their wages. Early Saturday morning a party of twenty oitiaena left the city on a special train for tbe Boene of the disturbance, and at Holten were joined by Sheriff Williams, of Jackson county, and a posse of fifteen men. The Leavenworth men made a part of the Sheriff’s posse, and tbe train proceeded to tbe end of the line, beyond Giroleville. Here a large body of strikers were con gregated, many on horseback, headed by Hartman. The party was greeted with all kinds of abusive epithets, Hartman especially using offensive language and being demonstrative in actions. Oapt. Trngb, formerly U. 8. Marshal for the Western District of Kansas, who had been selected as leader of tbe posse, commanded Hartman to halt and was an'* swered by # pistol shot. The posse was ordered to fire over bis head, whioh was done, and Hartman replied with two shots from his revolver. Tbe posse then, under directions, fired upon Hartman. He died the same evening. The train returned to Giroleville where it was met«by a great crowd of strikers. A warrant was sworn out against Oapt. Trngb, who was arrested but released on his own recognizance. At Holton the train was confronted by another body of strikers who took posses sion of the switoh and deolared they would not let tbe train pass unless the posSfe surrendered Captain Trugh to them. This not being done, the train backed out. Subsequently the posse left the train and marched into Holten, took op quarters in Holt, which was soon surrounded by armed strikers, but find ing the posHB well prepared did not at tack the house. Captain Trugh was again arrested the same night and re leased on $10,000 bail. THE TURKO-RUSSIAN WAR. RKFORICW TIIRUIKU AT M-EVNA. Denial* of a Hungarian Legion. YELLOW FEVER. AT FEBNANDINA.

Special to Enquirer.Sun.] Constantinople, September 31.—The Turkish newspapers publish a report that Osman Pasha has defeated the Rouma nians before Plevna. The Porte has refused to permit the transit of timber across the Danube for housing the Russian wounded. OSMAN PASHA’8 LOSSES. London, Ootober l.—Tho Standards correspondent with the Turkish army tel egraphs from Plevna: Osman Pasha’s losses from the Russian cannonade are exceedingly light, but on the day when he retook the redoubts in the Laftcha Road he lost three thousand men. There are now, September 23, only 1,900 wounded at Plevna. The Standard's Bucharest special says: GENERAL TODLBDEN’s OPINION of tbe situation at Plevna has been laid before the Grand Duke Nioholas. It is understood to declare that seigeoperations on the most extended scale are requisite for the capture of the place. RUSSIAN MATTERS. The Czarowitoh visited Gorney Studen Saturday to relinquish the command of the left flank and resume command of the Imperial Guards. The second Turkish convoy for Plevna returned to Orkani, the Roumanian cav alry having captuied eight wagons of grain. The Grand Duke Nioholas has liver complaint. 2,000 TURKISH WAGONS ENTER PLEVNA. London, Ootober 1.—The first Turkish convoy whioh entered Plevna, consisted of two thousand wagons. The number of wagons in tbe seoond oonvoy are not reported. RUSSIANS AT SEA BEFORE PLEVNA. The correspondent says of tbe Russians before Plevna ; They seem completely at sea. They have no plan, no idea, no head. They are waiting for reinforce meDts, which are arriving slowly, and whioh, when all here, will hardly more than cover their losses by battle and sick ness during the last two months. I think history offers no suoh example of a splem did army in such an utterly helpless con dition. Suleiman Pasha is fortifying at Shipka Pors apparently with tbe inten tion of wintering there. OSMAN pasha’s REPORTED VICTORY. London, Ootober 1.—This morning’s Standard publishes the following special dispatoh: Sofia, Sunday Evening, Sept. 30. Trustworthy information has been re ceived here that Osman Pasha has re pulsed tho Russo'Koumaniau attack ou bis front and left inflicting heavy losses. It is said that be attocked tho Russians on the Lovatz road and recovered several po sitions. This seems to agree with the re port published iu Constantinople news papers yesterday that Osman Pasha had defeated the Roumanians beforo Plevna, but there is no more reason to believe one than tho other. The Standard's details resemble the fight of September 11th to 13th, remarkably as to Imeperial Guard uumbering 50,000 said to bo duo before Plevna by the 5th inst. It is highly im probable that the Russians have made a general assault without them. RUSSIA DECLARES MEDIATION IMPOSSIBLE. Paris, October 1.—Tho Russian Tele graphic Ageucy prints a Bucharest dis patch, which declares mediation is impos sible. A solution of the question between Russia and Turkey must be sought for on the battlefield. Diplomacy may inteivene late. The same dispatch says General Todleben succeeds General Zotoff as chief of staff to tho Prince of Roumania before Plevna. HUNGARIAN LEGION BUSINESS. London, October 1 —A letter from General Klapka is published, touching the rumors that he is one of the leaders of a movement to form a Hungarian legion in Transybrauia to act in conjunction with a Turkish corps to destroy tbe Roumanian railways. He knows nothing of that affair, and if he had known of it during his recent sojourn in Hungary would have dissuaded the country from such. Ldslnittoii, Ky., Knees.

Washington, Ootober 1.—The Signal Observer at Fort Macon reports tbe part of the side of a brig or Bchoon- er, and portions of a wreck have just come ashore at Cape Lookout. There is nothing to designate the name. The light house people are out looking for bodies. Another havings Bnuk Saspcnalon. Boston, Ootober l.—Another result of the tremor caused tbe suspension of the savings bank at Ilyams, Maas. There has been a run upon the bank for aeveral days. Saturday it was deemed advisable that payment be entirely suspended until the present distrust subsided. The bank has a good standing. Most of its loans are good. The last report showed the bank had 1,695 depositors, and the aggre gate deposits nearly $625,000. Arckblanop Hay ley. 8pcciul to Enquirer-Sun.] Newark, N.

Special to Enquirer-Sun,] Hartford, October 1.—Dr. Jonathan Bruce, formerly pastor of the Congrega* tional Cburob, at Milford, Conn., and editor of the lieiigious Herald, died, aged 67 years. INDIA. 750,000 persons (died of famine and CONSEQUENT DISEASES. London, Ootober 1.—The Times' Ma dras correspondent, reviewing tbe actual effeotB in that Presidency of the famine and diseases consequent on the famine, says tbe registered deaths of tbe present year up to the end of Juno were 370,000 above the average. This, according to the opinion of tho district officers, does not represent more than two-tbirds of the actual mortality, and we have further to add to the deaths which have occurred since and have not yet been officially re ported. The correspondent's conclusion iB that not Iobs than 750,000 persons have fallen victims, and even these figures will probably be largely increased before the famine and its after wave of suffering has finally passed. CUBA. C'-oal in filing Kcfliiiued. Wilkksbabre, Pa., Oot. X.—Tbero was a general resumption of operations this morning at tho mines of the Lehigh &> WilkoBbarre Company. A COLORADO CARDIFF UVANT. WHAT MB. CON ANT 19 REPORTED -TO HAVE DUO UP NEAR PUEBLO—A STONE IMAGE OF THE MISSING LINK. The Pueblo (Col.) Chieftain says : “A few months since Mr. W. A. Conaut, who has been traveling in the region of coun try lying southwest of Pneblo, botween this city and Mace’s Hole, discovered a variety of fossils, among others a sea turtle in an excellent state of preserva tion. Mr. Oonant oalled tbe attention of tbe newspaper press of tbe State to bis discovery, and considerable comment was elicited. The matter gradually passed from the atteutiou of the public, though Mr. Conant determined to search further in tbe same locality, with the hope of making additional discoveries. On Tues day he arrived iu the city, bringing with him a large stone figure of n man, whioh he had unearthed at the head of a long, dry arroya about Bix miles north of the residence of P. K. Dotson, Esq., about twenty-five miles from tbe oity. The figure was found imbedded in very hard olay, requiring vigorous use of a pick to looseu it. A oedar tree grew □ear by, one of tbe roots of whioh had grown between the arm and the body of tho figure, making it necessary to cat the root before removing the statae from the bed in whioh it had doabtless reposed for centuries. Mr. Conant Btates that while sitting on the ground, eating his lunch in the looality above mentioned, his attention was attracted to a ourions looking stone protruding from the ground. He removed tbe earth from around it, and found a resemblance to a human foot. He then proceeded to dig away tho olay about a foot iu depth, aud soou un covered the entire figure, and, having ch ained assistance, brought it to this oity. Unfortunately, in removing the figure from its bed, a wooden lever was placed under the neok and the head broken oil'. It has, however, been neatly replaced. At first the disoovery was supposed to be tbe petrified body of ahutnan beingof gigantic stature, but closer examination proves it to be a piece of sculpture ; but by whom exeouted or to what age it belongs no one seems to kuow. It is composed of a sort slate rock, colored a dirty yellow on tbe outside, possibly from contact with the surrounding clay, aud represents a man reclining, one arm being crossed over his breaHt and tbe other lying along his side with the hand resting on h% leg. The position iB easy and natural. Tbe en tire length of the statue is 7 feet 6 inches; length of arm, 4 feet 1 inch; breadth aoross the shoulders, 2 feet; length of band 12j inches; length of foot, 13 inches. The weight of the figure is about 450 pounds. Tbe type of the human race represented is a strange one. The head, which is turned slightly to one Aide, as is natural in a reclining position, is of tho Asiatic type—a sort of cross between an aucient Egyptian and an Amorioan Indian, the cheek bones be* ing remarkably prominent. The figure is spare and thin, much like the men in anoient Egyptian pictures, while tbe whole body is covered with indentations. One remarkable feature which strikes the ob server is tbe greAt length of the armH and the ape like appearance of the hands and feet. The band which rests on the leg, if the arm was straightened, would reach to the knee, while the feet are long, flat and slim, aud tbe groat toes About two in* ohes shorter than those in tho middle of the feet. At the end of tho backbone is tail about two or three inches long, strougly suggestive of the truth of tho Darwinian theory. The fignre was at Nyberg & Ricker’s stables all day on Tues day, and was visited by hundreds of our citizens. There is considerable excite ment here over the discovery, and a gen eral desire on the part of all to hear the opinion of some scientist with regard to the origin of this ourions work of art. There can be no question about tbe gen uineness of this piece of statuary. The stone shows the effects of time, and the circumstances of the disoovery are such ss to preclude anything like a repetition of the clumsy Cardiff Giant frand.” MARKET REPORTS.
