Speolal to Enquirer-Sun.]
Chicago, Ootober 7.—Gen. Sheridan,
in an interview, said he had the very latest
information, and was in a position to deny
everything which pointed to an armed
conflict, or invasion. This report, he
said was wholly incorrect, and had no
shadow of truth. The trouble was con
fined entirely to brawls among the Mexi
cans themselves over the Salt Springs,
•the town being populated almost wholly
by this element. Gen. Sheridan at once
ordered Lieut. Ruoker, with soldiers, to
proceed at once to Santo Elizario and in
vestigate the trouble, and that officer has
departed for the scene.

from Fort Davis was received last night
from General Ord: Lieutenant Rucker at
El Paso some days ago,reported the troub

to report on tbe disturbance. Subse
quently I gave an order to send thirty-five
cuvalry men that were escorting a sur
veying party to strengthen him. This
trouble is with our own population, and
about the looaliou of the lauds on which
there are salt lakes. I have no reason to
believe that any citizens of Mexico have
taken part in the troubles, but the popu
lation of El Paso county is wholly com
posed of citizens of Mexican birth.

capturing about six hundred horses,
mules and ponies. The engagement was
severe. The Indians lost seventeen. kill
ed, including Looking Glass and Joseph’s
brother, and three other chiefs, and forty
wounded.
Joseph gave me his solemn pledge yes
terday, that he would surrender, but did
not; and they are evidently waiting for
aid from other Indians. The Sioux are
coming to their aid. They are olosely in
vested in some deep ravines and kept
under fire. To take them by assault
would cost many lives. I may wear them
out, and eventually compel them to give
up. They fight with more desperation
than any Indians I ever met.
Our killed are Captain Erwin Hale, 7th

and privates. The wounded are Captains
Maylor and Godfrey, first Lieutenant and

Paris, Ootober 7.—M. Gauibetta has
issued a manifesto to the electors of the
20th arondissement of Paris. In it he
says : Citizens, after four mouths of ex
cess, administrative pressure and inoit
deplorable proceedings relative to official
candidatures, France at last speaks. She
will suy in a few days wbnt she thinks of
tho men of the sixteenth of May,
the allies, protectors of the men of the
2d of December, the servants of Henry
V, and the agents of the syllabus and the
Pope, who are all sheltered nuder the
patronage of the President. Doubtless
for the better protection of Republican
institutions, France will uny what she
thinks of the personal polioy of the Chief
of the State and the aristooratic and retro
grade pretensions of the DeBrogiie cabi
net, of the unjustifiuble dissolution of the
Chamber of Deputies, of the miserable
war waged by the Government against
newspaper hawkers, schoolmasters and
other defenceless victims of the projects
and plots of this coalition of monarchists
who are preparing for her three years of
intestine conflicts and divisions to be fol
lowed in 1880 by a terrible crisis and per
haps revolution.
The manifesto, after strongly censuring
the licensed violence of the reactionary
press, says: France will pronounce on
the policy inaugurated by tbe letter dis
missing tho Republican ministry, on the
order of the day, to the troops at the
Long Champs review, on tho Presidential
message of the 10th of September, and on
that system of government which the
chief of the executive power vindicates
"ranee
Republic. She will
say she intends to make an end of anarchy
and dictatorship, withdraw tho nation as
well as the individual definitely from
clerical rule, and ensure that the public
force shall never be employed, except in
the service of the law. I confidently do*
dare that France, despite tho mumuuvros
against the freedom of her votes, will
scorn the official candidature and its
agents, spurn tho Royalists, Ciusarists and
Clericals, both kuaves and partisans of
violence. She will condemn the dicta
torial policy and leave tho chief of the
executive power, who is transformed into
a plebiscite!y candidature, no alternative
but to submit or resign. We, ourselves,
sure of the support of tho country, shall
know how to make its will prevail over a
powerless and incorrigible majority. The
union of all good Frenchmen will keep uh
discreet and render us “invincible for the
country and the Republio.
The conservative papers strongly ceu*
sure M. Gambotta s manifesto, some of

luteiestiug letter to the President of the
Jetty Company, which wo present to our
readers »»a deserving of a thoughtful pe
rusal. The objection ofteuest raised and
must persistently urged against the jetty
system from the beginning was, that a
new bar must necessarily be formed in
front of the jetty outlet, which would in
a short time form a new obstacle to navi
gation and reuder a new extension of the
jetties indispensable, and that the same
cause would ooutiuue to produce a similar
result from year to year. This prediction
was sanctioned by eminent authority, and
many thousands have accepted it, wuitiug
for events to prove it well founded. The
letter of Oapt. Eads shows that no such
shoaling has taken place, but that on the
contrury there has been u very considera
ble deepening of the gulf over several
hundred acres outward from the ends of
the jetties between diverging Iiuoh. He
likewise shows that there exists a distinct
and almost constant shore current from
east to west, transverse to the current
flowing from the jetties, by whioh the
sediment from the Mississippi is constant
ly and fully swept away.
This valued document comes in good
time and it will servo as an effectual
answer to the most formidable objection
raised against the jetty saystom—N. O.

A I.UCKY FIND.
PRESIDENT OF THE BURST 8AVINGS BANK UN*
INTENTIONALLY REVEALS $25,000.
New York Herald, September 28.J
Broadwell was too unwell to be exam
ined on beh-df of the depositors on Tues
day, but ou Wednesday he was able to
drag hiiuHelf from Jersey City Heights to
the safe deposit vaults of the National
Park bank iu this city, where he olaimed
of the manager, Mr. James W. Dominick,
a box of valuable securities.
The old gentleman was climbing up a
ladder toward hiR box iu the vault to se
cure hiR treasure, when the manager inter
posed saying :
“Mr. Broadwell, that safe is entered in
tho name of the Glairmont Savings Bank
on our books.”
“Ob, 1 kuow it,” was the reply, “but
everything in it is my iudividnal proper
ty, everything belougs to me.”
“I cannot help that,” said tho manager;
“I hoar tho hank is iu the hands of a re
ceiver, and I cannot let the contents of
that safe go without au order from Geu.
Smalley.”
This was a thunderbolt, and Broadwell
left tho bank. Yesterday tho receiver
of the Olairmont institution received a
note from Mr. Dotuiniok, tho manager of
tho Park bank vaults, to the effect that
Broadwell had oalled there for a box
eutored iu the name of tho bank, and ask
ing for advice as to wh.it should be douo
in the premises. Gen. Smalley instruct
ed his counsel, Mr. Vandeveer, to reply
that anything in tho name of the
bunk was under his (tho Tooeivor’a) con
trol, and that ho would repair to the
Park bank to examine the securities. Iu
tho meantime the combination of the
vault box had boeu obtained by the aid of
Mr. Swan, aud tho receiver, accompanied
by Mr. Robert G. Cornell, of the commit
tee of trustees, ropaired to tho Park
bank. “The box,” said tho receiver sub
sequently, “wo found really to contain
valuable stocks and bonds to the amount
probably of $15,000 or $20,000, aud they
itppeured to be the persouol property of
**herman Broadwell, the list is in my pos
session, but I think it injudicious at tl is
time to give it to the press. The mistake
Broadwell made was not to have placed
the securities in his own name; then
nobody oould, at this juncture of the pro
ceedings against him, have prevented
him from taking them away.”
“Why did ho uot do ho ?”
“The reason is apparent. He wanted
to savo the hire of u safe deposit vault,
which is quite expensive, and charge the
amount to tho Clairmout Savings Bank,
giving as a voucher to the latter the receipt
of tbe Park Bank ; but I am in posses
sion, aud have changed the combination
of the safe.”
“What will probably be the effect of
this discovery of assets on a settlement
with Broadwell?”
“I think very important. I imngine he
will have a hard time to recover these se
curities from the reoeivor; besides, in
this safe are a number of valuable letters
and papers whioh throw light on a good
many transactions which before wore
cloudy and obscure.”
PET'S PUNISHMENT.
r ASHBY BTERRT.
0 I If my love offend d ine,
And we had words together,
To show her I would master her,
I’d whip her with a feather.
Iftbon she, like a naughty girl,
Would tyranuy declare it
I’d give my pet a cross . f pearl,
Aud make her alwuys hear it.
If still sho tried to sulk and sigh,
And throw away my posies,
I’d witch my darling on the sly
And smother her with roses.
And if sho dared her lips to pout,
Like many pert youug misses,
I’d wind iny arm her waist about
And puulsh her with kisses.

A leading law firm brought huii this af
ternoon for Bella liodmau, u lady of this
city, against Dr. J. F. Canine, a promi*
ueut and respected dentist, asking for
$10,000 damages for alleged malpractice.
She says she employed defendant in Oct
ober, 1870, to extract a number of teeth,
and to make her a set of false teeth. She
asserts that in extracting the teeth Oanine
used a small chisel or like metal instru
ment, about half au inch of whioh broke
off iu her jaw and was allowed to remain
there, he not communicating the fact
that it was iu her j iw. After breaking
off the instrument defendant contin
ued work in her mouth and fitted a
set of false teeth to her jaw over tho
place where tho chisel had been broken
off. The piece remaining in tho jaw
until April 21, 1877, when it worked itself
to the surface and was taken out of tho
mouth. Sho claims her health was affect
ed and her life jeopardized by tho piece
of instrument remaining in her mouth for
a long period; that a catarrh has been
caused by it, and that she has suffered
great pain and received permanent injury.
She asserts that the breaking off thw in
strument and allowing the same to re*
main thero was tho result of negligence
and want of skill on tho defendant’s part.
Dr. Canine expects to prove that these
statements nre false, and that, there was
not the slightest malpractice ou hiH part.
The suit will create Homo surprise ou ac>
count of his recognized ability as u dent
ist.
SHoot* II mine I f for Love of a Niren.
Baltimore, October 4.—Less than two
months ago John W. Turnbull, jr., was
married,to day he ended his life by blow
ing out his brains, in a house of ill fame,
kept by a woman named Mary Shannon,
on Josephine street. Ho was u son of
John Turnbull, tho souior member of tho
firm of John Turnbull, jr., A Co., carpet
dealers, one of tbe wealthiest business
bouses of Baltimore. Before his marriage
he had become infatuated with Jesse Hal
stead, one of the inmates of the house
mentioned. Sho states that he proposed
marriage to her, but she refused
bis offer. Soon after this he mar
ried a young girl, Haul to resemble
in personal appearance very olose-
ly his friend of the demi-monde. After
tbe wedding ho renewed his intimacy
with Jessie, and was frequently nt her
house. This morning, at 9 o’clock, ho
entered the bouse and spent some time iu
tbe lower part of the building, drinking
wine and conversing with the iumates.
A few minutes before noon ho ascended
to Jessie’s chamber, and, according to her
story, renewed his protestations of love,
and said ho was unhappily married. Af
ter remaining together Home time, the
girl left tho room to procure a glass of
water, and while iu au adjoining apart
ment was startled by a pistol shot. On
returning, she found Turnbull lying on
the bed, olutching a revolver, aLd his
head resting iu a pool of blood on tho
bed. Death ensued in a few minutes.

Debt Nlntemunt In
Nluifie.
Special to tho Cincinnati Gazotto. J
Washington, October 1. — Secretary
.Sherman announce* it to be his policy to
give tho public the fullest information ou
Treasuary matters. With this intent the
form of tho debt statement has been
changed, and to day, iu addition, there is
issued u comparative statement of the
condition of the Treasury, on Ootober
1st, this year and last year. This state
ment, at a glance, indicates all important
changes, and is likely to be a more popuc
lar report than the debt statement itself.
Home of the most striking features of this
report may hoHueu by tho following com
parisons : The amount of currency in
the Treasury to-day was about $14,000,*
000; last year about $12,000,000. The
amount of legal tenders now held
for redemption of certificates of deposit
is eight and a half millions groator than
last year. Tho amount of coin has in
creased from $04,500,000 to over $119,-
000,000. Tho amount of coin actually
owued by tho Government is fully twice
as groat as that held a your ago. The
outstanding legal tenders have boen re
duced within a year from $708,494,470 to
$350,914,932, aud fractional currency
from about $29,000,000 to about $18,-
000,000, making a contraction of legal
tenders of nearly $12,000,000, and frac
tional currency of a like amount. This
table will also contain n comparative
statement of the imports and exports
That published to-day shows a gratifying
increase in tho foreign trade during I he
year. Tho imports have increased $24,-
000,000 and the exports $51,000,000.
Hold Leap Over Niagara.
From tho Hochostor Express.]
A reckless chap, calling himself Capt.
Julius D. Rogers, of Hpringville, Erie
county, yesterday made a daring jump
into Niagara river, iu imitation of the
feats of Sam Patch, who flourished and
was killed in this city some forty-five
years ago. Tho Courier thus describes
his jump from his skeleton platform or
tower, eighty-four foot high, built on
tho rocks near the foot of the inclined
railroad, Prospect Park : “This ho did
a few minutes before four o’clock, in tho
presence of at least two thousand ponple
who had congregated at every commanding
point. The dive was u graceful and easy
one, and ho came up smiling and stuck out
for a swim. A life saving coat, made of
cloth and lined with cork, capable of sus
taining the woight of four ordinary peo
ple was thrown into the water from a
ferry barge. This he put on aud but
toned up with comparutive ease. To
demonstrate tho practical value of the
aparutus his wifo, a small, dark complex-
ioned woman, in a blue llannel bathing
suit, jumped into the water from an ele
vation of about fifteen foot aud oujoyed
a ride down stream with her husband.”
Rhodes intends jumping a distance of 194
feet some day when tho wind does not
blow, lie claimed to have made sixty-
nine high leaps and dives from different
altitudes, once a height of about 110 feet.
The portraits of some of the most fa
mous Americans are* to be put upon the
new stamps for lager beer kegs. The
stamp for the eighth of a barrel is blue,
with the viguette of Washington for a
centre piece; the Hixth of a barrel, brown,
with a vignette of Thomas Corwin ; one,
fourth barrel, green, with vignette of
Thomas H. Benton ; one third barrel,

H. Thomas; one-half barrel, buff, with
vignette of Jefferson; barrel, pink, with
vignette of ex President Johnson; hogs
head, black, with vignette of Silas
