FORTY^FIFTH CCMSIGRESS THE TURKO-RUSSIAN WAR. ALL QUIET ON THE LINES. PARALLELS 'APPROACHING PLEVNA—RUS SIANS BLOCKADING SAM. Kansas City, Mo., Ootober 19.—A gigantic swindle was brought to light yes terday by the arrest of J. It. Ham, Ed ward F. Stevens, and Geo. W. Miller on requisition of Gov. Hnbbard, of Texas, charged with forging land titles and issu ing fraudulent deeds for large treoto land in Texas. The scheme of the fraud was organized by Ham and another per son named Thos. Tullis, of Austin. Ham lives here, and through his persnasion Stevens and Miller were brought into the plot. Stevens, who is a lawyer and the son of Judge Stevens, of this city, is believed to have gone into the operation inno cently at first, by purchasing 14,000 aores of Texas lands from Ham, bnt subsequent ly becoming fascinated by the opportuni ties offered for making money rapidly, entered freely into the swindling con spiracy, and was known in Texas as the Kansas City lawyer in order to better secure suooess to their plans. Ham’s confederates caused to be made duplicate copies of notarial and other seals, and procured specimens of the signatures of a number of State officials of Texas. They also caused to be printed an exact copy of deed nec essary for their transactions. All titles and patents used by them, and represent ing either the General Government or State lands were forged. An immense amount of laud has been conveyed by them under many different aliases, and to many different persons. About a year ago, the attention of Gov. Hubbrad was called to the matter and on looking into it he was satisfied that a monstrous swindle had been perpetrated involviDg the interests of both the State of Texas and United States. The author ities at Washington were notified of the ftots discovered, and Bpeoial agent Foster was sent out here, where he obtained clnes to the authors of the swindle which have been closely followed ever since, and resulted in the arrest of sixty persons simultaneously in various parts of the country who belong to the gang. No less than thirteen court houses have been set on fire and burned during the past year, to destroy evidence that could have been brought against the conspira tors. Ham, Stevens and Miller left for Texas yesterday in custody of officers from that State. REPORTED ASSAULT ON PLEVNA. London, October 19.—It is rumored that an assault on Plevna oommenoed Thursday.

London, October 19.—A Paris dispatch says all who approach official spheres ex* claim: “They are mad! They have lost their heads! They are dreaming of a state of siege, of a fresh dissolution, of a dictatorship, of a plebiscite, of more en ergetically managed elections and on the so-oalled safety of the country at any price!” MacMahon will await the aotion of the Chamber. If it shows an aggressive temper, a disposition to thwart the Cabi net or force on him a dishonorable policy, consisting of the abandonment of his fnnotionaries and violation of his solemn ly contracted pledges, be will dissolve it again; and in the unlikely event of the Senate refusing its assent to dissolution, the Marshal will, if neoessary, persist in dissolving the Deputies, being guarded only by the public interests.

DOCTOR WHITE, OF MEMPHIS, ON “FAIRS, RAFFLR8 NND ROUND DANCES.” From the Boston Advertiser.] The Rev. Dr. White, of Tennessee, offered the following: Resolved, That the right revered Bish ops be respectfully requested to express their opinions as to the propriety of the various instrumentalities adopted for rais ing funds for the support of the Ohuroh. Upon this resolution the author ad- drebsed the house as follows : Mr. President—I assure you it is with the deepest reluctance that I rise to ad dress an assembly so largo, so learned, so experienced, and so pious; on the eubjeot I am about to bring before it. If a sense of duty did not prompt mo 1 would be silent, and I hope, gentlemen, to jooupy your attention only for a few moments to a matter that has given me much anxiety. I have been a minister of our Holy Church for nearly fifty yearB. I am at tached to its form of worship, to its doc trine, and to every thing oouueoted with it ; and if it was necessary, geutlemen, I would fight, although not naturally a brave man, for every shred iu the vest ments and every line in the prayer book. But my attachment to the Church does not blind me to an evil that extensively prevails. Do you ask, gentlemen, what is that evil? I answer the improper instrumentalities that are used to secure funds for the support of the church. I am not Puritanical. I do not object to a man’s kissing his wife on Sunday, or— anything of a Puritanical nature! | Loud laughter.] I am fond of innocent recre ation [renewed laughter], and all who know the well will testify with what zest I enter into the innocent amusements of the day. But, gentlemen, I protest against the instruments that are adopted to sustain our Church. I must be very particular now, gentlemen and I tell you what I object to. I object to ice-cream entertainments, I object to voting for the prettiest girl iu the company, I object to raffling, I object to waltzes, and 1 Jobjeot to round dances, and to everything of this kind. I believe, gentlemen, that the evil spirit has never invented nu engine more likely to demoralize our people than the methods now taken to support the Chnroh. It throws practical religion out of the question; it actually turns the young people of our church crazy in re gard to these matters. Let me illustrate: Three or four young men, having no pos sition in society, and desirous of getting aeqaainted with the girls, approach some two or three old ladies of the church and say—“Don’t you want an entertainment for the pnrpose of paying the minister’s salary, or the assessment for the bishops, or to furnish the minister with a carpet or some other article of furniture? If yon will make the arrangements wo will THEIR GALLANT EIGHT AND VHIVALU1C SURRENDER, The Oviioralulilp of Joseph anil IIIn Contempt for Fecknnlir Howard* see-that the expenses are paid.” The ladies responded in the affirmative. These young men meet together and bear the expenses of the entertain ment, and they dance till two or three o'clock in the morning. The effect is to demoralize the people nnd make these young people think that religion consists in matters of this kind. I object to these instrumentalities because i am an advocate of the offertory. I think the man who contributes to the Church one cent is as much a worshipper of God as tho man who makes the most ardent prayer. To give is an act of worship. It is the only way of giving reoognized in the Bible, and these fairs, entertainments and fes tivals, in my opinion, are contrary to the teaching of Scripture—contrary to the dignity of the Episcopal Church. We profess to bo very aristocratic in our no tions, vefv exclusive—we belong to the Church. How mortifying, then, when I pass through the struts of the city and hear outsiders say : “Is it possible that the Episcopal Church resorts to such methods as these to support its minis- tera ?” Even men of tho world ore op posed to methods of this kind. Dr. Adams, of Wisconsin, moved to amend the resolution by substituting the word “impropriety” for “propriety.” Dr. White accepted the amendment, and the resolution was adopted, with a few dissenting voices. A division, how ever, was called for, and resulted in the passage of tho resolution by a vote of 180 ayes to 23 noes. Now York Horald Correspondonoo.] Joseph left Oregon with 300 warriors and 2,000 animals, so that all tho women and children could ride, lie hnd traveled 1,500 miles when captured. Tho corres pondent writes: Joseph’s disdain for no ward. There can now bo no question that Joseph speedily learned to disdain Gon. Howard and his tactics. When he was overtaken and pounced upon by General John Gibbon at the Big Hole Mountains, on the 9th of August, Joseph was greatly perplexed. “What kind of an outfit is this!” ho exclaimed. “This can’t be tho Bible Chief ?” And ho speedily found ont that it was not Howard, “the Bible Chief,” as tho Indians have learned to call him. Gen. Gibbon on that memorable day, had he had as many men under his command as General Miles had when ho encountered the Nez Perce? at tho foot of tho Bear Paw Mountains, would doubtless havo saved the latter officer tho trouble of the movements ho has just rnudo, mid carried off for himsolf the glory of tho victory achieved by tho more fortunate Miles? GEN. miles’ SUCCESSFUL PLAN. When Gen. Miles started iu pursuit of Joseph and his determined band of war riors, on the 18th of September, from the mouth of the Tougne River, he had formed his plan of operation so shrewdly and accurately that he was led to say to one of his officers, pointing to his map, There’s where I’ll strike them.” stanok the Nez Forces’ camp on tho 80th of September, after a toilsome and deter mined march of twelve days, at a point within six miles of tbo spot ho had indi cated on the map before setting his troops in motion. eaghenesb of miles’ men to fight, The officers and men nnder Gen. Milos’ command were so eager for the first charge when they came in sight of Joseph’s in trenched onrnp that, as in the case of Gen. Caster’s last and glorious fight, sev eral of tMKmen perished through sheer excesB of bruvery and hardihood. But after the first and desperate charge thoi General so deposed his troops as to in sure the subsequent victory without fur ther loss of their livos. m CUTTING OFF A SUPPLY OF WATER.

Consumption can be Cared* Sohenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Schenok’h Ska Weed Tonic, Schenok’s Mandrake Pills, Are the only medicines that will oure Pulmonary Consumption. Frequently a medioine that will atop a cough will occasion the death of the pa tient; they look np the liver, stop the cir culation of the blood, hemorrhage fol lows, aud in fact they olog tho action of the very organs that caused the congh. Liver complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes of two-thirds of the oases of Con sumption. Many persons complain of a dull pain in tho side, constipation, coated tongue, pain in the shoulder blade, feel ing of drowsiness and restlessness, tbe food ljing heavily on the stomach, ac companied with acidity and belching up of wind. These symptoms usually originate from a disordered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver. Persons so affected, if they take one or two heavy colds, and if the cough in those cases be suddenly checked, will find the stomaoh and liver clogged, re maining torpid and inactive, and almost before they are aware the lungs are a mass of sores, and ulcerated, the result of which is death. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup is an expeo torant which does not contain opium or anything calculated to cheok a cough sud denly. Scbenok’s Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food, mixes with tbe gastric jnices of tbe stomaob, aids digestion and oreates a ravenous appetite. When the bowels are costive, skin sal low, or the symptoms otherwise of a bili- ouh tendency, Schenck’s Mandrake Pills are required. These medicines are prepared only by J. H. Schenok & Son, N.

HE FORBIDS ANY CLERGYMAN FROM PER FORMING TRE LAST RITES OVER HIM — ONE EFFECT OF THE BEECHER SCANDAL— A LAYMAN SELECTED TO PRONOUNCE A EULOGY OVER THE GRAVE. New York Mercury.] Novel obsequies were last Thursday conducted over tbe remains of a well to do German farrier named Robert Glau- bit, of 89 Baultman street, Williamsburgh. While in this vale of tears Mr. Glaubit never exhibited any sympathy with reli gion as promulgated by tho City of Churches. While admitting tho groat truths and refining influence of Christi anity, he repudiated all connection with churches, aud was never known while in Brooklyn to enter a church. Indeed, ho looked upou churches aud ministers with especial disfavor ever since tho Beecher soandal. Whatever faith ho bad before of their sincerity vanished after the great trial, when he saw the pastor of Plymouth Church and tho author of a “Life of Christ” lionized and looked to by a re fined congregation as a true and faithful expounder of tho word. Before his death he requested his wife not to per mit any minister to conduct services over his remains. It was his desiro to havo a layman perform whatever ceremonies were necessary. The man selected to perform the last sad rites was Mr. Julius Klamke, of the Surrogate’s Court, and a well known Ger man orator. Mr. Klamke was astonished at the proposition, as he had never per formed such a service. However, ho consented to officiate, and, attired in the conventional black, with a white cravat, be presented himself nt the late residence of the deceased. When the mortal re mains of Glaubit had been consigned to mother earth and the grave had been closed in, Mr. Klamke announced that ho would least, Milea’ next endeavor, therefore, was to stop their supply of water. Ilis ap proaches by a series of new riilo pits, dug during the following night, promised to do this effectually, and Joseph was not slow to discover the ntter hopelessness of his holding out against the Government troops, for the supply of water once cut off entailed suffering on his animals, as well as his braves, their squaws aud chil dren. I need not repeat the tale already told to the readers of the Herald ui .Joseph’s propositions and final preparations for urrender, but now Heud you some further details of the sceue, which will bo fouud interesting. GENERAL HOWARD SAYS “AMEN.” When at last the Nez Peroes chieftain and his principal supporters decided that the entire baud should formally surren der, Joseph came into General Miles’ camp, all alone, and announced the de cision he and his warriors had come to. By that time General Howard had arrived on tho scene with his slender escort, con sisting of only seventeen men. With a spirit that became a Christian soldier General Howard wont up to General Miles and said to him : “General, I come hero nnd fiud that it is all right. This is yfmr fight. I want to say amen to everything you havo done.” When Joseph eutored tho lines estab lished by Gen. Miles ho passed by Gon. Howord in surly silence, paying no heed to tbe presence of tho “Bible Chief,” nnd walked up deliberately to the spot whore Gen. Miles was standing. When he found himself in front of Gen. Milos tho wily chieftain drew himself up haughtily and said: “1 want to surrender to you.” JOSEPHS PERSONAL APPEARANCE. As the Indian chief thus stood before his captor a self*acknowledged prisoner, he presented the figure and mien of galluut a wnirior chieftain as ever oou- ’fossed himself fairly beaten at tho game of war. About thirty-five years of ago, five feet ton inches in height aud clad a pair of blanket trowHers, logging* and moccasins, he wore none of the war paint or suvago bravery of headdress and feath ers which usually adorn an Indian w on tho war path. Ilis features, regular and handsome iu their outline, were cov ered by hardly a wrinkle. His eyes, black, brilliant, and as piercing as an eagle’s, rested on those or Gen. Milos with an ex pression at onpe melancholy and reserved. Ilis long black hair was gathered in a loose queue at the back of his head, and ornamented with a simple cluster of green feathers. Two long braids descended from his temples nnd hung down in front of his ears. Such was tho man who for so long a time bad bade defiance to his pursuers, and who had almost gained the refuge he aimed for. THE SURRENDER ACCOMPLISHED. As Joseph uttered tho brief salutation to Gen. Miles already recorded he handed that bravo officer his rifle, with the barrel pointing toward the ground. When the weapon had just changed hands the chief passed quietly to one side with a gntteral “How !” as he gave place to his followers. The other chiefs aud their companions who had followed Joseph into the camp, performed the same ceremony. To those who witnessed tho romnrknblo scene it seemed as though tho captives wore not i, but .udo knights of the batablo line and deliver themselves up an prisoners of war. The fact that these warriors failed to come up in a body was peculiarly characteristic of the Indian nature, for it was hard for them to volun tarily acknowledge themselves worsted. But as their lendors had taken the initia** tive in tho matter they slowly followed the example. THE ENTIRE BAND CAPTURED. Even at nightfall the entire band had not surrendered, and the lines of senti nels had to bo maintained all tbnt night. After tho sun rose on the morning of the 6th the remainder of tho braves came in in tho same irregular muuner observed tho previous day. Ou the first day about sixty-seven warriors nnd their families including young bucks, oamo in, aud when the remainder were all in hand it was found that 240 men, women and children had surrendered. THE WOUNDED INDIANS. Forty wounded Indians wore discovered by tho troops ns they lay in their bur rows, many of them being badly hart. Those wounded braves wore being nursed by their faithful squaws when found. If the couriers who come to us from Genoral Miles are not mistaken iu thoir informa tion, thoro was not a single dead Indian found iu the captured camp, nor at tbe time of their departure had the troops discovered the burial places of the In dians, who wero undoubtedly killod dur ing the desperate fight. It must not bo supposed that there wero none killed in the Indian ranks, for it is almost certain that tho band lost nearly thirty killod and wounded in tho first assault upou thorn by our troops,and they must have lost more killod during the progress of the engagement. NEZ PEROES’ ENGINEERING DEFENSES. These intreuohmeuts consisted mainly of a series of rifle pits dug deep into the earth, aud they wore arranged in some respects with a skill which would have done credit to an educated military en gineer. Home of the pits were five and a half feet deep. In them whole fami lies were found osoonced. By an inge nious disposition of tho apthrown breast works thoy wore made to overhang tho pits in such wiHo that the papooses could be safely disposed of under them. The pits contrived for tho sholter of families and clusters of warriors wore connected, iu many iustnnces, by trenches which admitted of safe communication with each other beneath the lino of mus ketry fire brought to bear on the pits, Joseph's military genius. Ah organized and conducted this last battle by Joseph deserves to be consider ed carefully, in order that the military genius of tbo Nez Forces ohieftaiu may be properly appreciated. Taken in con federation with the brilliant and substan tlal viotory arohieved by General Miles the entire soheme of operations on both sides deserves a high rank among the many campaigns that have boon fought ont along the Indian frontier. SUPERIOR TO THE SIOUX. The fact is, that Joseph and his tribe of Nez Peroos are Indians so uncommon so different from the Sioux whom the Sit ting Bull Commission are presently to meet, that those wise aoroH in tho East who would Hettle the Indian question without adequate knowledge of the true state of affairs, cannot prevent the gov ernment and the press from drawing a just and generous distinction between these Nez Peroes warriors and the courser savages following tho leadership of Sit ting Bull and his congeners. STOICAL CONDUCT OF THE NEZ PEROES. The manner aud method of fighting adopted by these Nez Peroes has been admirable from first to last, aud they have taken their mishaps aud final defeat without a whimper. They have never calped a dead white man, nor even ill - treated a wounded soldier or oitizen throughout tho entire campaign. What ever tales may have reached you in re* gard to the alleged cruelties perpetrated by the Nez Peroes are denied hero iu an ticipation by tho officers and soldiers who have been engaged with them in all tbe conflicts during tho progress of hostili ties. Whatever scalps have been taken from tho heads of white men were taken by members of other tribes of savages, who hovered along tho verge of tho various battle fields and swooped down upon dead Nez Percos and white sohliers alike. The lust word to bo said of Chief Joseph in this connection is that tho original diffi culty between bis tribe aud tho white settlors in Oregon has had as yet but a confused nnd unsatisfactory description. Whon tho whole truth is mude known the question will assume au aspect quite dif** forout from tho one it now wears. RA LROADS. iu Columbus, Qa.i Oot. I, 1877.

New York, October 1st, 1877. I havo devoted twenty years of patient study to tho Livor and its relations to tho human body, in search of a romody which would restore it, when diseased, to its normal condition. Tho result of that la« bor bus linen tho production of TUTT’tt LIVEll PILLS. Their popularity has become so extended aud tho demand ho great us to induce un scrupulous parties to counterfeit them, thereby robbing me of tho rewurd, and the afflicted of their virtues. TO CAUTION THfrl PI III.IC, and protect them from vilo impositions, I havo adopted n new label, which bears my trade-mark and notice of its entry iu the Offloe of the Librarian of Congress, also my signature, thus : Life-size Photograph* in the befit man uer for five dollar*, at eodtf Wiluajm' Uaujuti. iu m. ........ savage hostil Id di'apense' with”prayer, publicly at j plains and mountain*, who, Unding them- He invited the widow and her solve* fairly beaten handed np their wen- aeven children and the hundred or no pons in true obivalrio fash.on Instead friend* present to collect around him,aud of bright lance* aud heavy shields these hrieflv addressed them.

Before purchasing, examine the lubel closely. THE GENUINE TUTT'S PILLS exert a peculiar influence on tho system. Thoir action is prompt, and their good effeotn are felt in a few hours. A quar ter of a century of study of tho Liver has demonstrated that it exerts a greater in fluence over the system than any other or gan of the body, and wheu diseased the entire organism is deranged. It is speci ally for tho healing of this vital orgau that I have spent ho many yearn of toil, aud haviug fouud the remedy, which has proved the greatest boon ever furnished the afflicted, shall they be deprived of its benefits, and a vilo imitation imposed up on them ? Let the honest people of America see TO IT THAT THEY ARE NdT DEFRAUDED: I Scrutinize tbe label closely, see that it bears all the marks above mentioned, and buy the medicine only from respectable dealers. It can bo found everywhere. Very respectfully, Ol two OI VUiee, W uuutu nvwna vux> ^ a significance to the act easily appreciated by the veterans who were silent witnesses of it.
