In reply to an inquiry on the subject, he said that the company was not interfering with, or attempting to influx enoe in any way the organization of the House of Representatives. WRIGHT, OF INDIANA, CANES COLUMBUS DELANO. Judge Wright, of Indiana, former In** dian Agent, assailed Columbus Delano, former Secretary of the Interior, with a oane. Delano received a very severe blow on the temple. He staggered but did not fall, though he bled freely. There was but one blow, when ex-Solicitor Smith restrained Wright. Delano was taken in a carriage to the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Ames, Delano had prosecuted, but in Judge, Wright’s mind had persecuted him for alleged Indian frauds. It is likely the DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS called for to-morrow will be adjourned from day to day until all the Democratic mombers .put in an appearance, and that the organization of the House will not occur until the middle of next week. THE BUDGET. Washington, Oct. 12.—The Cabinet occupied to-day with the budget. The War Department wants $30,000,000; the Navy $2,000,000, Justioe $200,000. THE SIOUX Are reported officially as resigned to come to the Missouri. CALLED ON HAYES. Senators McCrary of Kentucky, Hill of Georgia, and Sargeant California, and many Republicans including Felton, Bis- bee and Ackley of Louisiana, called on Hayes to-day. Judge Wright, before striking Delano called him a blank falsifier. Delano re ceived two blows and is quite nervous and excited, though bis wounds are not serious. NEZ PERCES TO BE SENT TO FLORIDA. No disposition has been made of the captured Nez Perces Indians. It is sup posed they will be sent to Florida. HEWITT AND MANNING PAIRED. Special to the Enquirer-Sun.] Washington, Oot. 12.—Congressman Hewitt is paired with Manning, of Missis sippi, in the oauous. Hewitt would have voted for Randall and Manning for Goode. MISSISSIPPI RIVER" RUSSIA THREATENED WITH BANKRUPTCY BE CAUSE OF TOO MUCH PAPER—HER SILENCE CONFIRMS TURKISH BU00R88E8—HUNGA RIANS INVADING WALLACHIA. Constantinople, October 12.—Mukh- tar Pasha’s official dispatoh explains that the battle fought Tuesday near Aladja Dogh was caused by an attempt, by the Russians, to surprise a oorps of observa tion which bad been posted at Kas Kan to cover the concentration of his forces at Aladja Dogh. Mukhtar Pasha olaims he repulsed the Russians with a loss of 1,200 men. DEATHS IN RUSSIA—ROUMANIAN ARMY ON DANUBE. London, Oot. 12.—The Standard's Ni- copolis special correspondent says he has trustworthy information that the cold, rain and lack of winter clothing are cans* ing great mortality in the Russian-Rou* maman army. BANKRUPTCY THREATENS RUSSIA. The 2'imes, in its financial column, says at St. Petersburg the rate of exchange is 23 pence, which is the lowest rate since the Crimeau war. There seems to have been a kind of panic at St. Petersburg yesterday, due to the great depreciation of paper ourrenoy, which depreciation threatens temporarily to engulf the nation in unusual bankruptcy. RUSSIAN SILENCE AND SPECULATIONS. London, October 12.—Tbere are no further Russian bulletins about the latest operations in Asia ; so it must be taken as true that another attack on Mnkh- tar Pasha has been repulsed. The Rush sians are likewise silent about the jano- tion of Ohefket Pasha with Osman Pasha, which is reiterated from Turkish sources, and augurs ill for tho success of the Rus sian operations against Plevna, though one correspondent at Bucharest thinks that the Russians are so sure of capturing Osman’s army that they are very well pleased to get as many Turks into Plevna as possible, so as to make a clean sweep. HUNGARIAN INVASION OF LITTLE WALLA CHIA. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] London, Ootober 12.—The second edi tion of the Daily News has a Bucharest dispatch about the reported Hungarian invasion into Little Wallachia. It says that 1,500 men are said to have crossed the frontier in the neighborhood of Turn Severin. No news of their doingB have been received. THE PORTE TO BERVIA. Special to the Enquirer-Sun.} Belgrade, Ootober 12.—Prinoe Milan has received a note couohed in concilia tory terms from the Porte pointing out that the armaments of Servia were pre judicial to the maintenance of good rela tions which the Porte greatly desired to preserve.

It instructs them to prosecute disseminators of false re ports relative to negotiations and alli ances between foreign powers, in view of possible consequences of the coming elections. Note.—This is in consequenoe of a cur rent rumor of an anti-Clerioal alliance between Germany and Italy. GAMBETTA SENTENCED AGAIN. Paris, Ootober 12.— Gambetta has been sentenced to three months imprisonment and a fine of $800 for placarding his re cent address to the electors of his arron- dissement.

Ham- camp, builders, have failed. Their liabil- ties are $1,150,000, YELLOW FEWER. DECREASING AT BEAUFORT. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Port Royal, Ootober 12.—Yellow fever is on the decrease. Twenty-one oases are under treatment, and all are conva lescing. The yellow fever at this place in no way interferes with railroad connec tions between Augusta, Savannah and Charleston. The passenger trains run between Augusta and Beaufort station, and there is no interruption with the in- feoted district. Provisions are scarce. AT FEUNANDINA. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Jacksonville, Oot. 12.—Two deaths at Fernaudina and five new oases. Col. Liberty Billings is dead. Drs. Herndon, of Savannah, Simmons, of Charleston, and Vautuyl, of Jackson ville, are among the sick at Fernandina. Dr. Whitehurst, of Koy West, arrived to day. Its Improvement — Convention to Urge the Subject ou Congress— Resolution Adopted. St. Paul, Minnesota, Ootober 12.— The Mississippi River Improvement Con vention assembled here yesterday, attend* ed by a large and influential body of dele gates about one hundred in number from the cities on the Mississippi, from New Orleans to St. Paul. Hon. Joseph Brown of St. Louis, was chosen President, anfl Vice Presidents from each State represented were also chosen. The proceedings were marked with great unanimity and earnestness of pur- pose in forwarding the object of the call, whioh is to organize the public sentiment of the Mississippi Valley in support of a systematic pressure upon Congress to ob tain from that body proper recognition of the navigation interests of the upper Mis*- sissippi, in the shape of adequate appro priations for the construction of wing dams and other improvements necessary to secure a navigable low water stage from St. Paul to St. Louis. The following is a synopsis of the resr olutions unanimously adopted: After a preamble, reoitiDg the impor tance of the Mississippi as a highway of inland commerce, the greater cheapness of water as compared with land trans- portation, the resolutions urge upon Con gress the pressing necessity of passing such acts and making such appropriations as will, in the shortest possible time, and in the most economical manner, in all seasons of the year, secure a good navi gable stream of water from the falls of St. Anthony to the Gulf of Mexico, and if practicable give a minimum of about five feet from St. Paul to St. Louis, also about eight feet from St. Louis to Cairo, and about ten feet from Cairo to New Orleans. They urgently request Con gress to adopt such legislation as will best and most speedily secure the end in view, and insist that in all aots providing for an appropriation of money for internal improvement, the improvement of the navigation of the Mississippi be kept most prominent as a distinctively national work. Attachment for Gov. Hartranft and Others Asked For. Pittsburg, October 12.—The praDd jury asked for attachments for Gov. Har tranft, Gen. Brinton, Gen. Lattisand Ma jors Wilson and Morris who have failed to respond to the subpoenas issued. The court fixed Monday for bearing arguments on the application. Would-Be Duelists Arrested at Au gusta, Georgia. Special to the Enquirer-Sun.] Augusta, Ootober 12.—E. R. Allon and L. B. O’Brien of Allendale, South Caro lina, oame here to fight a duel, but were trreated and gave bail to keep the peaoe Freight to be Increased. New York, Oot. 12.—The morning pa pers say freights west will be advanced 33$ per oeut. on the 15th and furtb er ad vanced the 1st of November. Episcopal Triennial Conference. Boston, October 12.—The proceedings of the convention were very interesting to-day, and attracted a large congrega- tion, but continue preliminary. Mr. Fish made an earnest speech against tampering with the Prayer Book with a view to shortening service. LATER REPORT. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Boston, Oot. 12.—The resolution for the appointment of a joint oommitteo of seven Bishops, seven Presbyteries and seven Laymen to examine and report what changes are needed, if any, in the Rubric and Book of Common Prayer, that there may be no contradictions in the services, no ambiguity and no differ ences of interpretation was disonssed and the whole matter was referred to the com mittee on Prayer Bocks. The discussion of shortening of the morning and evening services was taken up. Hon. Hamilton Fish said he felt bound to vote against the measure in the form in which it was presented. The dioceses of New York had voted against it. He thought the amendment proposed struck at the stability and sacredness of the Book of Common Prayer. He did not believe that the Ohurch in this coun try was prepared to uproot the anchorage of ages by a temporary expedient. Ttie aotion of the previous convention of 1874 was taken during its last days, and when the convention had thinned on(. He believed in a shorter form of service for ordinary week days, but not for Sundays and holy days. He thought the same end could be accomplished by an expression of the convention in regard to the use of the Prayer Book, and not in relation to its change of form. Should the house reject the amendment, he bad a resolution in conformity with the aotion of the convention of 1874, which he thought would attain the end desired, and be acceptable to all. He appealed to the House not to lay violent bands on the Prayer Book. It was decided to take the vote upon this question at 11:45 a. m., to-morrow. The debate was then continued. Boston, October 12.—The House of Bishops concurred iu the new Dioceses for West Virginia. TEXAN. JUDGE HOWARD KILLS THE LEADER OF THE MOB. San Francisco, Ootober 12.—A dispatch from Messila, New Mexico, says Judge Howard killed Louis Cardis at El Paso, Texas. Oardis was the leader of the mob that arrested the oounty officers of El Paso county. Great excitement prevails. Sheriff Hutchinson,of Pensacola,Fla., it will be remembered, arrested the des perado and murderer, Hardin, without a requisitiou from the Governor of Texas. Hardin was put in jail here to await the necessary papers. The following extract from the Pensaooia Herald shows that the grand jury indicted Hutohinson, but very properly recommended that it should not militate against him with the exeou tivo authorities: Iu roference to the indictment whioh we have felt it our duty to find against Sheriff W. H. Hntchinso, for forcibly and without duo authority of law oon- fiuing and imprisoning one John Wesley Hardin, and causing him to be sent out of the State against his will, we respectfully recommend him not only to the clemency of tho Court but the case be continued and in the interval of the Court that he be recommended to be pardoned by the Gov ernor of tho State of Florida. While our oath obliges ns to bring this matter be fore the Court, we reoommend that Sheriff' Hutchinson’s official status be not affected by it, as his act, though illegal, relieved the community of a desperate and dan gerous character. Oil ! I lie Wretch I Coul'eNsion or Gilman, the Forger. New York, October 12.—Gilman, the forger of insurance scrip, pleaded guilty.* His confession read by his counsel is touching and concludes: To sum briefly, he wonid flay, that decline in businesH, bad investments, heavy ex penses, both business and domestic and personal extravagance had betrayed him. In probable exculpation of his crime, the prisynor says that he loved better to give money away than to spend it on himself, that his thoughts and interests wore more with charitable works. Suicide had been mnch in his thoughts for many years. Race Hornes in Baltimore. Baltimore, October 11.—Raoer Ten Broeck, with Vera Cruz and King Faro, of Harper’s stable, arrived from Ken tueky. The horses are in good condition. Gone to Wanlilngton. New York, Ootober 12.—Conkling and Blaine have passed for Washington. H&Uging is too good for the exeorable scamp who got up the following prescrip tion for “Making a Fashionable Woman.” The ladies would torture him with “switches,” hairpins and oambrio needles, and then turn their armieB of “rats” and “mioe” upon him. Here is what he says: “Take ninety-nine pounds of flesh and bones—but chiefly bones—wash olean, bore boles in the ears, and out off the toes; bond the back to conform to the ‘Grecian Bend,’ the ‘BoBton Dip,” the Kangaroo Droop,’ tho Saratoga Slope,’ or the ‘Bullfrog Break,’ as the taste inclines; then add three yards of ruffles and seven ty-five yards of edging, eighteen yards of dimity, one pair of silk or ootton hose with patent hip attachments, one pair of false calves, six yards of flannel embroid ered, one pair balmoral boots with heels three inches high, four pounds whalebone in strips, seventeen hundred and sixty yards of steel wire, three quarters of a mile of tape, ten pounds of raw ootton or two wire hemispheres, one wire basket to hold a bushel, four copies of the New York Herald (trimple sheet), one hundred and fifty yards of silk or other;dress goods, five hundred yards of point lace, fourteen hundred yards fringe and other trim mings, twelve gross buttons, one box pearl powder, one sauoer carmine and an old hare’s foot, one bushel false hair frizzled and fretted a la manique, one bundle Japanese switohes, with rats, mioe and other var- mints; one peck of hair-pins, one lace handkerchief nine inches square, with patent bolder. Perfume with ottar of roses, or sprinkle with nine drops of the ‘Blessed Baby’ or ‘West End.’ Stuff the head with fashionable novels, ball tickets, piny bills and wedding cards, some scan dal, a great deal of lost time, a very little sage; and half a grain of common sense, three scruples of religion and a modicum of modesty. Season with vanity, affec tion and folly. Garnish with ear-rings, breast-pius, chains, bracelets, feathers and flowers to suit the taste. Pearls and diamonds may be thrown in if you have them. If not, paste and pinobback from the dollar store will do. Whirl all round in a fashionable circle, and stew by gas light for six hours. “Great care should be tAken that the thing is not overdone. If it does not raise sufficiently, add more copies of the Herald. “This dish is highly ornamented, and will do to pnt at the bead of youV table on grand occasions, but it is not suitable for every day use at home, being very expensive and indigestible. It some times gives men the heart-burn and causes them to break, and is certain death to children. “If you have not the ingredients at band, you can buy the article ready made in any of our large oities—if you have money enough.” THE NEW YORK FIREMEN. HOW THEY ARE HOUSED, WHERE THEY BLEEP, AND THE APPURTENANCES AND APPLIANCES WITH WHICH THEY WORK. As interesting to our fire laddies, we reproduce the following account of the way they “run with the machine” iu New York oity. Columbus has not progressed sufficiently to do these things up us quiokly. The article we clip from Har per's Magazine for October : “The fire men spring out of their bed simultane ously,without loosing a tenth of a second in hesitation or surprise; ten pairs of legs are simultaneously thrust into the trous ers by the bedside, and two hitchea pull on both trousers and boots. The trousers close upon the hips, bo that no timo is lost with Buspenders or belts, and the miraculous toilet iB complete, while I stand oonfused by the distressing sud denness of things. Tho noise iu the lower room is as though the foundations of the building were being blasted by dynamite. The bell is still striking, re peating the signal five times over, and the last fireman iB half way down stairs before I can recover myself and hastily follow him. Below stairs the horses are hitched to the engine, the driver is on tho box, the furnace is light ed, the men have tukeu their preoanous positions on the tender, the doors leading to the street are wide open, and one min- ute has not expired since the first stroke of the bell! The engiueer taps mo on the shoulder and orders me into a placo on the narrow platform behind the en gine. “Hold on for your life 1” The ad vice is soarcely in my ear when the horses plunge forward and the maohiue rolls off the smooth floor of the station on to the cobble stones of the street, whioh seem to fly out of their beds in the rebound of the wheels. The excitement bewilders; the stores and houses aloug the route are in distinct; for a moment our feet are shaken from uuder us as we sharply turn a cor ner; then a greater eaBe in motion tells us that we have left tho cobble stone or Bel gian pavement for asphalt or macadam; the tremulous Auger of the steam gauge indicates a higher and higher pressure; the furnace blazes with iuorensiug vehe mence, and the smoko Btadk emits dense wreaths of mingled smoke and sparks, which are blown back upou us aud inclose us in their suffocating blackness. The experience is thrilling beyond measure to a novice, and the absorbed expression of the men who have been used to the thing for years shows that it also has some ol- fed upon them. The engiuo stops ub ruptly in front of the building out of which some smoko is drifting; the hose uncoiled from the tender, a hydrant is tapped,and in less than 5 minutes after the first stroke of alarm at the station a stream of water is thrown upon the lire by tho engine, whioh gasps for breath, apparent ly, at the haste. Within those five min utes twelve or thirteeu men have been aroused from a sound sleep and have dressed themselves, three horses have been taken out of a stable and attached to vehicles, aud the vehicles and men have travolt d five blocks. But if one should Hpeak to the men about it, they would deprecate ad miration. During tho first visit of the Grand Duke Alexis to New York an alarm of fire was sounded at the Clarendon Ho tel, in Fourth avenue, and u stream of water was turned upon the building by an engine within two minutes and tbirt]'- fivo seconds, the engine having been manned and brought four blocks iu the meantime. It is not an unusual thing for the engine to be out and on its way to a lire within forty seconds of tho moment when the bell first strikes. As soon as they re turn to the station, no matter how tired they may be, the engine is restored to its original condition of brilliancy, the horses are groomed, the hurness is washed with oastile soap, the hose is readjusted on the tender, and an hour afterward, or less, the company is frilly prepared to answer another alarm. Each man places his hat and his coat on his seat on the tender, and puts them on after ho has started for the fire; he also has a particular place and a particular duty assigned to him in hitch ing up the horses, which is done by elec tric snaps, and in getting the engine out of the house, the entire performance of ten consuming no more than ten seconds.” A HUNTER’S STOItY. CONE TO PIECES! That's What has Beoome of the Radi cal Party in Georgia. THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE DISSOLVES THE ORGANIZATION, AND THE PARTY FALLS INTO CRUMD9. Atlanta Constitution.] A few members of tho State Central Committee of the Republican party met iu this oity on Wednesday. There was a sharp wrangle iu the committee rooms, and then there was an adjournment. Mr. John Conley, with some exultation, dis played the following resolution as tho work of the committee: “Resolved, That the chairmanship of this committee is hereby vacated and the committee itself dissolved.” WITHOUT HEAD OR TAIL. This resolution of course disbands the Republican paViy of Georgia. It is now without head or tail. It will never go into another campuign and never make another struggle. The resolution was passed by u vote of Heveu to two. Messrs. Markham, Noroross and Conley voted for it, with four negroes, we belu ve Bryant, the ohairman of the oommitte, voted against the resolution, being supported by Pledger, a colored member of grout shrewdness. The passage of the resolution oreated some considerable exoitoment among the Republicans. The feeling, as far as we could learn, was against the disbandment. It was freely said that this couise was adopted as a last resort to get rid of Bry ant , between whom aud Blodgett, Conley & Co., there has been a bitter feud. Sev eral attempts have been made to turn out BryADt, the most of which failed, until it was resolved to dissolve the committee itself. WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT. The members of tho party who do not approve of the aotion of the committee claim that there was not a quorum pres ent at the meeting that dissolved the com mittee. The committee consists of sev enty members. Only nine were present. It is held that tho action of these nine men is not authoritative. Commissioner Buck says : “It is no more binding than if you and I and another man were to get together aud pass a resolution. It binds nobody. It was merely an attempt to sit down on Bryant.” Mr. Buok was considerably ex cited, but did not say whether or not he thought the disbanding policy wus wise or not. Marshal Bmyth says : “I do not think the few men who met could be consider ed a quorum—though I do not know the rules upou that subject. I do not ap prove of the oourse taken by the gentle men who met. I do not believe in giving up the organization. I am a member of tbe committee but did not ntteud, ah I mu a Federal officer,aud the President's orders were that no official shall atteud political meetings. I am not uu American citizen to that extant. I understand that ns soon Bryant saw how few members of the oommittee were present, he at onoo va cated tho chair, aud declared that there was no meeting of the committee. I hoar that Mr. Noroross was then called to the ohair, and tbe work went ou. WHAT OOL. FARROW HAB TO HAY. Col. Farrow said: “It is claimod that there was no quorum of the oommittee present. 1 am not certuiu about this. Iu our lust oommittee we passed a resolu tion declaring niuo members a quorum. No such resolution has been passed by this committee; and nouo wus pass ed by the Convention that offered it. By the common law it is held that those vo ters who can vote and do not vote, are voted for by those who* do. About half of tho committee is disfranchised by the President’s civil service order. I do not approve of the action of tho commit tee in disbanding. We are just upon tho briuk of a campaign involving the new Constitution, an issue on which the Dem ocrats were divided, and we should keep our party well in hand. That is my idea about it, though of oourse, (smiliug) the President’s order has put mo out of pol itics.” MR. CONLEY ON THE SITUATION. TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER OF WOLVES. A modern Munobauson writes as fol lows : Yes, I was a trapper and a scout for thirty years, and during that time 1 tramped nearly all of the great North west. At tho time I was just speaking of I was guiding a captain of the army to St. Louis from Fort Laramie iu the dead of winter. The oaptain afterward be came a great general, and is known all over the Union, they say. Wo had got short of meat, and I was led several miles out of the way to get a deer that day, when it beoome night we were obliged to camp out for the first time on our jour ney. We selected a spot sheltered by a huge rock that had a shallow cave at the base, We collected u big pile of brush and built a line of camp fires in front of the oave to scare away the wolves, who were already beginning to howl around us. The captain watched the first part of the night to keep the fires bright. I wus fearfully sleepy and cold when the cap tain awoke me and took my place in tho blankets. From the heat of I ho fire,or my fatigue, or some other cause, I grew sleepy. I struggled against the feeling, but must finally have fullou asleop, for I awoke next morning terribly cold, with the hue of tire broken in front of me, and two eyes of fire glaring into rniuo. It was a olf. I grusped my knife and prepared for his assault. It came. I succeeded in killing him, and lifting his carcass high the air, Threw it out iufo the darkness. A terrible growling, aud I kuew that he was being eaten by his family and friends. Before I bad time to turn round another of the pack came creeping into my bro ken line. I served him as I had done the first, and with tho same result. Fourteen times did I kill a wolf and throw him out to be eaten by his hungry chums. Thon there was a respite of from fifteen to twenty minutes, during which the dawn oame on, and 1 snw through the twilight a hungry wolf slink away into the farther wilds. He bad eaten the whole pack ! Fire »t Litlld Kook, Arkunvaa. , Special to Enquirer-Sun. 1 Little Rook, October 12.—The Odd Fellows’block is burned. Loss $47,000. Not Killed. Special to Fnqutrer-Sun.J Nashville, October 12 —Thos T. Wil liams, guide for revenue officers, was not killed. Conkling calls Curtis a “lady’s maga zine. " Mr. John Conley says: “The mooting was a legitimate one in every sense of the word. It has been the rule for eight years in otir Republican organization that nine members of the oommitteo constituted a quorum; in fact that whoever attended, after a fair call, was the oommittee. If Bryant holds that it was uot a fair quo rum why didn’t he withdraw? lie staid and urged the question, and then voted against tho resolution. Besides this there are only twenty-nine members of the committee capab e ot voting. The com m'lteo has 70 member . There are 2f disqualified, because they are. Federal office holders. Two members have left the State and one is dead. There were twelve present at our meeting—over a third of the acting committee, aud a quo rum of course.” “Why did you dissolve the commit tee ?” “Because there was no use iu holding on. Tbe Republican party can do noth ing iu Georgia. And then we were not willing to continue any organization of which Bryant is the bead. He is not fit for tho position, and we determined he should uot hold it.” “Will your party ever bold another convention in Georgia?” “No ; I think not.” “What will you do ?" “We will hold off, and whenever an in dependent movoinout is started wo will go in to holp it, We may be able in this way to whip the organized Democracy.” OOL. MARKHAM TO THE FRONT. Mr. Markham says that tho committee did uot disband throngh any disrespect to the President, but because of tbe objec tionable character of Brynnt, the Chair man. He says that the Republican party is not disbanded, but that it will have a convention at an early day, and will then regulate matters. The Colonel doesn’t think tho party is dead. For WhmIiIiikIoii.

TRIAL OF HARDIN. THE NOTED DK8PERADO CONVICTED OF THE MURDER OF WEBB AT COMANCHE, AND GIVEN TWENTY FIVE YEARS IN THE PEN ITENTIARY. Special Uorro8pon<lonce Galvoston News.] Comanche, Texas, Oot. 7, 1877. The trial of John Wesley Hardin, the ohampiou desperado aud one of the most noted personages in Texas, is over, and the intense excitement which prevailed throughout this oounty during last week is subsiding. The trial occupied two days—Friday and Saturday—aud a good portion of each night, and was attended by the largest body of spectators, per- hapn, that has over been assembled in this county upon n similar occasion. Friday morning, immediately after court was opened, the case again*t John Wesley Hardin was called, and the State’s attorney announced ready for trial, and somewhat to the surprise of everybody but themselves aud their olient, Hardin’s counsel made the same announcement. The prisoner was thon arraigned, and iu response to the reading of the indictment responded “Not guilty.” Tho indictment ehurged'Johu Wesley Hardin aud James Taylor with having murdered Charles Webb, in Oomanoho county, on the 26th day of May, 1874. More than half tho day was spent iu obtaining a jury, but it is a remarkable fact that but eight per emptory challenges wore mode by tbe prisoner’s counsel aad but four by tbe proseoutiug attorneys, and yet it is doubt ful if a fairer or more impartial jury could have been found in any eouuty in tbe State to try John Wesley llardiu. The substaneo of testimony was, that Hardin and others of bis party bad been beard to utter threats against tbe deceased —his brother having remarked, when a party of them were together, that “We will get awuy with them (Webb aud others) at the proper time atui place. Ou tbe day of Webb’s death llardiu, Taylor aud others of tho party bad been bolding private conversation, and that Hardin accused Taylor of haviug “gone buck upon him” iu failing to bo present at a place where, as Hardin remarked, “You knew I expected a difficulty.” A few momeuts before tbe killing of Webb, Hardin and Taylor were standing near a saloon, with other parlies, and looking down the street, saw Webb approaching them. He turned to Taylor and re marked, “Did you ever soe anything working up finer in your life ? ’ Webb came ou uud started to go into the saloon, passing near Hardin. The latter detained him, unking him if he was not tbe Sheriff of Brown conuty. Webb replied, “No, I am tbe Deputy Sheriff.” Ilardin then said, “I understand you have papers for me.” Webb respond* ed that be did not know him. Hardin thon said, “I am that d—d despe rado, John Wesley llardiu. Now yon know me.” Webb then informed him that he bad no papers f;>r him. Hardin demanded to know what Webb held in hand. Tbe latter exhibited bis baud, which be bold nothing but a cigar. Har din tbeu said : “I have heard that yon said that John Carnes, tbe Sheriff of this county, iH no man and no sheriff ” This Webb also denied. At this time Judge Thurmond, of Brownwood, who was standing iu tho street, called to Webb, saying, “come hero Charlie,” at whioh llardiu turned to Thurmond, saying, “you go on ; wo nrn attending to Charley now.” Webb started to go to Thurmond, but was again detained by llardiu, who remarked : “You are not going away from mo in that way ; Webb then step ped back,remarking: “No, G—dd—n you, I am not afraid of you,” and drawing his pistol at the same timo. The pistol fired aooidental'y ns ho drew it from the scab bard, aud Hardin, Taylor and Dixon flrod at the same time, their bulls taking effect, Webb falling to tho ground. Webb fired one shot after ho fell, when Taylor ad vanced upon him and shot him again, killing him iuntnutly. Hardin presented an indifferent, fear less countenance while tho above testi mony was being given, aud when one important witness was ou the stand he turned to him nnd gazed steadily in bi» face, with the evident purpose of looking him out of countenance. The argument of oounsol closed about 8 o’clock Saturday night, and after tho Judge had delivered his fair and able charge, the jury retired. They remained out about an hour and a half, when it was announced that they had agreed upon a vo~- dict, and shortly afterward they returned tho following verdict: We tho jury find the defendant guilty of murder in the second degree, and as sess his punishment at confinement in tho penitentiary at hard labor for twenty five years. D. L Dodds, Foreman. Hardin was greatly disappointed in this verdict, but manifested uo feeling in the court room, having been warned by an oifioer that such actions on his part might have an iulltionco on tho crowd present dangerous to bis safety. He wept bitterly after ho was returned to jail, and com plained that tho jury hod been too hurd upon him. Great fear was entertained by tho offi cers that a mob would undertake to lynch the prisoner, and the fact has since devel oped that such an organization had really been formed iQ some of tho western counties, for the purpose of hanging tho prisoner if tho jury acquitted him. Tho jury knew nothing of this, however, and wore uninfluenced by public sentiment in deciding upou their verdict. In a conversation with your correspon dent, Hardin stated that his trial had been as fair as ho could expect, considering tho fact that they were not simply trying a man charged with crime, but John Wes ley Hardin. He seemed very grateful for tho treatment received hero, and stated that he had no fear of a mob from this county, but feared tbe people of Brown and Colemati counties. He indulged in several fits of weeping, and evidently felt that tho punishment of death could not have been much worse than he is to re coivo. His counsel tiled a motion for a new trial, which was argued Sunday, but over ruled. An appeal has been taken, aud so tho punishment of John Wesley Hurdin for tho many crimes with which bo is charged is not yet certain. Ho was taken Monday by Sheriff WiN Hon, aided by twenty Rangers under Lieut. Reynolds, back to the Travis coun ty jail, where he was ordered for safe keeping. His removal has restored our village to its usual order and quiet. W. A. F. JOSEPH'S CAPTURE, ADDITIONAL DETAL8 OF THE FIOHT—GREAT CREDIT DUE MILES—GALLANT CON- DUCT OF THE HOSTILES. Fort Benton, Mont., Oot. 10.—Since the first battle of Miles with Joseph’s band, the troops have been holding the hostiles on a narrow ravine and have pick ed them off from rifle pits, losing only four men themselves. Joseph raised the white flag four times, offering to surrend er if he might keep his guns. Miles de* manded an unconditional surrender, and ou the last day, Joseph raised the flag again, advanced in front of the lines, handed bis gun to Miles and shook hands with him. The remainder of the com* tnand did the name. Forty wounded In dians were fouud in the camp. The num ber of dead is unknown,as all were buried. The glory of the fight rests with Miles. The entronohments of the Nez Perces were ingeniously constructed. Their bravery was unsurpassed throughout tbe fight, and they are credited with numer ous aots of humanity to the wounded whites. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC. New York, Ootober 1st, 1877. I have devotod twenty years of patient study to the Liver and its relations to the human body, in search of a remedy uhich would restore it, wheu diseased, to its normal condition. Tbe result of that la bor has been the production of TUTT’S FIVER PILES. Their popularity han become so extended aud the demand so great as to induce un scrupulous parties to counterfeit t* em, thereby robbing me of the reward, and the iifllioted of their virtues. TO CAUTION THE PUBIIC, and protect them from vile impositions, I have adopted a new label, whi h bears my trade-mark and notice of its entry in the Office of the Librarian of Oongress, also my signature, thus : — ■ ■ C-iT To Counterfeit this is forgery. Before purchasing, examine the label olosely. THE GENUINE TUTT’S PILLS exert a peculiar influence on the system. Their aotion is prompt, and their good effects are felt in a few hours. A quar ter of a century of study of the Liver has demonstrated that it exerts a greater in fluence over the system than any other or gan of the body, aud wheu diseased the eutire organism is deranged. It is speci ally for the healing of this vital organ that I have spent uo many years of toil, and having found the remedy, which has provod the greatest boon ever furnished the nffiioted, shall they be deprived of its benefits, and a vile imitation imposed up on them ? Let the honest people of America see TO IT THAT THEY ARE NOT DEFRAUDED: Scrutinize the label closely, see that it hears all the marks above mentioned, and buy the medicine only from respectable dealers. It can be fonnd everywhere. Very respectfully, tf w. H. TUTT. CLOTHING! MADE UP OF HOME-MADE GOODS Ac., by capable makers, and satHfuotion guaranteed as to tit, durability, price, Ac.
