The following telegrams have been re ceived at the Interior Department from ■neclal Agent Armstrong, relative to open- inethecattle trails through Indian Terti torr and tbe threatened Indian trouble at iheCheteune aod Arraphoe Agency. Foat ’Kaso, July 12.—The cattle herds itoCird ou tbe puolic land strip have been nuiitied to move on. I think the trouble ■rill cease, but it would would be vrell to have a special agent oi the Interior Department visit that section.

A little uvera week ago an order went out to all the departments that ail die- mlsaalt and at pointin'nts to QU places not vacant most stop at ooce. The President, after dedrarlog nis poilry with relation to the civil service In tne must positive man ner possible, turned tbe departments over to bis cabinet oOicers, making them per sonally responsible for their sets. Now nnmeroni chsng* s have been made, and many official have been tamed oat on the indefinite charge of "ctfenalve partisanship,” nntlt the term Usell has become offensive. A week ago a stop was put to all wort ta’ tts apposataeDt divis ion of tbe Treasury Department, and Ibe appointment cleric wns told that no more commissions were to be made out or pa pers considered until farther notice, and a lot of changes that were contemplated were killed in their Inception. Commis sioner of Pensions Black was sent for per sonally by tbs President, ami was given to understand that offensive partisanship hid become too Imlrtinite in its meaniog, and no mote changes in hla bifida! lorce were to bs made ontil there was a thorough understanding on the subject on Use part oi tbe Presi dent. Tbe remit was that orders fot number of changes In the pension office werecountemanded, omi every tnirg put at a standstill. The President, it lann. dsrstood, then had an understanding with the heads oi the post-office and other de partments, declaring l is policy to lie to stand bv the civil service reform urdara- tlon In bla letter to Mr. Cortis ami In bis address on tho ith of March. “Removal for cause,” he held to mean that and not removal with excuses. How far the thing is to go can be merely surmised bat it is believed that the President is de cidedly in earnest and does not Intend that bis declaration shall be ignored. VfaamsoTON, July 14.— 1 The President to-day appointed tbe following collectors ol customs: iUnry VV. Richardson, lor the district ol Uoaufort, 8. 0.;B. Huger Ward, for the district < t Georgetown, 8. C. The President a so appointed Wm. C. Bird, of Florida, to the United Staten mar shal for the northern district cf Florida. • Tbe colored mau named Green, woo wa* the caupe of a controverslty between ex Secretary Lincoln and Gen. Hazen about one year ago, has turned up arain. At that time Flazen declined to enlist Green In the b’gtial corpse. on the ground that regiment* of cavalry and infantry bad been eet apart for colored holdier*. but not the signal corps. Secretary Lincoln or dered his enlistment in that corps, pro vided he could pass the requisite examina tion. He passed the examination, and Was setit to Fort Aiyer under the regular course of instructions. He performed all the duties accep tnbly, and with other mem bers of hla class recently became eligible for station duty. The signal service oo- server at Pensacola asked for an assistant, and was told one wonUl be sent. He pro cured for him rooms and board in his own bearding-housa and made other arrange ments to receive him. Green was the man aeUcted »■ assistant and was sent to Pea as eels. On his arrival the aigaal service officer refund to receive him, because of his colcr. The oilicer haabcen summoned to Washtngiou to make an explanation. The colored man remains in charge of the office at Peneacola. It is stated at tbe signal ollice that Green wan ai-igned duty at Pensacola without any regard his color, and that the otlicerawho aeleci 1dm did not know at ibe time of his selec tion that he was colored. Wm. H. btedhat. who has been chief the navy pay division of the fourth audi tor's tltice for twenty-one years, resigned today, ami Janus Wei rigid, of Alatema, Was appointed in bis place. The President has appointed L 1>. Harri son, of Cincinnati, to be government direc tor of the I’nion Pacific railroad. Harri- ion is president of the F-rst National Bank of Cincinnati. He takes the place of ex- Govornor Noyes, of Ohio, whose recent ap pointment created so much discozaiao and who declined to serve. The applicant* for tha Spanish mission will equal, if not exceed, the number of appllt ants on tile at tbe Htate Department for any of the foreign minions. The otlice of minister to bpain is regarded as one of the moat desirable appointments to foreign countries. As yet no action has been taken toward* a successor to Mr. Foster. When he left Washington for .Spain to ne gotiate a second commercial treaty between the United State* and that country, the appointment of hia successor was post poned until his return. Special Inspector Brown, of the post- office department, is expected to arrive here this evening with the papers case of Hibbs. the defaulting i»oatmaater of Lewiston Idaho. As soon an the ne cessary extradition warrant can be made out at the Department of >'ate, the inspec tor will -tart for Victoria, B. C , to bring Hibbe into this country.

ANOTHER NEC BO APPOINTED. L. C. Moore, colored, formerly a mem ber of the Mississippi Legislature from Issaquena county, has been appointed messenger in the secretary’s office of tbe Iotertor Department. He was appointed on tne reccommemlstlon of Senator Wal thall and was Indorsed by Congressman Catchlngs. As a member of the Legisla tors, Moore acted with the Democrats, aod in tbe contest when Benator George was e'ected he continued to vote for Walthall even alter hia name was withdrawn. THE LABOE UNIONS MUST 00. Judge Snell, in disposing of the esse ([rawing out of threats made by union tai lors against non-union men, said; “This is a land of frtelorn, and foreigners come here to enjoy American freedom. They get a higher price for their labor than they erer did before, as labor statistics of other countries show. You come here from Italy. Germany, Austria and every otber country, and as soon as you get here, you join labor unions and propose to control price of labor in this country. The people of thfa country are not going to stand this. The time will soon come when persons in this country wUl be able to employ labor ers as cheap as they'can and pay tbemin proportion to thslr work without the inter ference of labor unions. The greatest nui sances we have in this country are these infernal anions and tbe sooner we get rid of them tbe better.” AS TO NIORO POSTMASTERS tbe Star credits to a prominent Southern jnlltictan, whom it dees not Dame, tbe statement that while there was a disposi tion to recognize colored men who had acted with tn« Democratic party in tbe Sout * by appointing them to offices, yet rue Southern people were opposed to a man to their appointment as presidential postmasters, lie stld that when the Sen ate met they would vote against any such nominations.

London, Jniy 13.—The Pali Mali Gczet'e this afternoon, in responae to requeue (or Us opinion as to the nature of tbe char gsa rtqulrcd in the present English criminal law, makes several important suggestions. It aaye: First, an addition to tbe criminal act raising tbe ege at which female chil dren may legally consent to tinful conduct from thirteen yean, tbe present period, to •Ixteen. Second, tbe extension of the law prohibiting soliciting to both arxet. Third, tbe giving ol an additional poser over women to tbe police that will be aimed at the tnppresaloo of crlmejind alaoo at tbe suppression of vice that 'a complete legal liberty for voluntary immorality between adulta contracting on lawfni terms, end a rigorous suppression of sexual criminality In all cues in which tbe parties are nnder age, or foil, free and intelligent consent are absent.

When the ein of these people ooala no longer be tolrraud, they were wiped oil the earth. Thus ot tbe nation*, but no nueconld tell wbet bloodsbeddiog and suOVring came upon men for their iniquities. “Why should London,” exclaimed tbe preacher, “oe more favored ihan Rome?

A number of Citizens got into a drunken row wl'h tbe soldier a. during which the latter bavonetled to death one cf Ibe former. Tbe commo tion attracted a crowd of men to tbe sceno. When tbe elviliaui realized that one of tbelr number bad been killed, they became furious and fell upon the soldiers with such force that the latter were compelled tu beat a hasty retreat to their barracks. Tbe moti followed them up, but being threatened with powder and ball If they attempted to forca an entrance to tbe barricade they contented themselvee with smashing the windows of the barracka with stones. Tbe rage oi tbe popn'ace waa so great this morales that it was deemed best to trans fer tbe Welsh Regiment to some other place.
