No Trouble with Mexico Probable.
Washington, July 10.—Shrewd pol
iticians express themselves satisfied
thut the President has returned to
his flrst intention of Kiving a share
of Southern offices to moderate Dem
ocrats. It is known that the Presi
dent abandoned this Intention at the
instance of Gen. Crowly and others,
with a view of conciliating Blaine
and others, who, he finds, will not
conciliate.
Southern Democratic Senators
agaia have the President’s ear. It is
becoming evident that when ths edge
of battle is reached, the President
must have some kind of support from
Democratic Senators. AM hope of
defeating a Democratic organization
of the House is abandoned, and the
President is now looking to action
which will secure generous support
of his measures from the majority in
that body. Hayes has cut loose from
Blaine.
E. L. Thomas, of Atlanta, is most
prooable to be appointed Marshal of
Ga, A Democrat, all say, will get
the place.
Secretary Evarts, in conversation
with a government official, declared
that the administration has no
thought of taking any step, the result
of which will be to create trouble
with Mexico.
Hayes will be at Eremont, Ohio,
Sept. 17th, the celebration of the bat
tle of South Mountain with the 22nd
Ohio.
The Star says there is excellent
authority for the statement that Sec
retary Evarts will advise, on the part
of the Cabinet, the recognition of
Diaz as de facto President of Mexico,
and the reception of the credentials
of Senor Mata as the accredited Min
ister from that Republic.
The Cabinet to-day covered much
ground, but no results reached. The
Louisiana indictments, Georgia Mar
sbalship, Ministers to Liberia. Hayti
and Brazil, and Mexican affairs gen
erally, had brief attention. How
gate’s plan, and Wofdward’s expedi
tion around the world, occupied most
of the time.

Chicago, July 10.— A dispatch to
the New York Times says the Chica
go Inter-Ocean publishes the follow
ing :
Judge Lawrence, of this city, who
was a member of the late
Louisiana Commission, states in
regard to the indictment of
WelL, Anderson and other members
of the returning board, that it is a
gross violation of pledges made by
the Nicholls Government. It was
the distinct understanding that there
should be no political prosecution.
Judge Lawrence says he has no
doubt these legal proceedings are
instituted by Bourbon Democrats in
Louisiana, who are opposed to the
Nicholls Government, and that he
and his friends will use their influ
ence to carry out the pledges made
in good faith and put an end to
these prosecutions, or at least Gov
ernor Nicholls will exercise his par

necessary.

Philadelphia, July 10. The
Fourth Council of Union of the

San Fbancisoo, July 10.—Dispatch
es from Lewiston via Portland, give
details of encounters with Indians
on 3d, 4th and sth instants, near Cot
tonwood. On Tuesday, Col. Whip
ple sent out Foster and Bacid scout
ing for Indians in the direction of
Gen. Howard’s camp on the Salmon
river. They had not gone far when
they met three or four Indians, who
ran them back towards camp. Bacid
was unhorsed, but escaped. Foster
reached camp. Whipple ordered his
command in readiness to move, and
in the meantime Lieut. Rains with
Foster and eleven men were sent in
advance to reconnoitre. Rains and his
men rode over the • tirst rise
this side of Cottonwood and down
into a side ravine where the road
crossi s before ascent of Craig’s
Mountain, and were attacked before
Whipple could get to him, after he
heard the tiring. Bains and his whole
party were killed, including Foster.
Whipple’s command came foiward
and formed in line, of battie ou the
eastside of the ravine aud the Indians
on the west—all iu open ground,
about one thousand yards apart, and
with only the ravine between them.
Here they remained menacing each
other about two hours, until dark
ness came. Whipple retired to his
cam]), and the Indians passed over to
a point on Cottonwood trails to
Craig’s crossing.
No more was done that night.
Next morning Whipple,with his men,
started this way to meet Col. Perry,
who was expected with a supply train
from Lapwai, and kept out his skir
mish lines along the route. They
met Col. Perry with his men near
Boardhouse and escorted him to the
camp on Cottonwood creek. Bacid
aud two men arrived from Mount
Idaho soon after, and about 5 o’clock
in the evening rifle pits were man
ned and two Gatlings placed in posi
tion. The Indians made several at
tempts to storm the rifle pits, but
were kept at a distance. About 9
o’clock in the evening firing ceased
for the night.
On the morning of the sth, two
couriers arrived from Howard, chas
ed into camp by Indians. Soon after,
the Indians moved their camp, with
about sixteen hundred head of stock,
across the prairie in the direction
of Cottonwood. No movement was
made to intercept them. Soon after,
Capt. Randall and sixteen volunteers
from Mount Idaho appeared. About
one hundred and fifty Indians inter
cepted them at the junction of the
Elk City trail with the stage joad.
At this crisis, they being seen
from Perry’s position on the hi!! at
the rifle pits. The Colonel was urged
to go with the troops to their rescue,
to which he replied that it was no
use, they were gone, and ho would
not order his men to the rescue. The
volunteers say that their captain,
seeing his position, ordered them to
charge and break the lines of the In
dians ; dash over to the creek bot
tom, dismount and return the In
dians’ fire, and hold their position
partly undercover of a small hill, un
til the force at the Cottonwood could
reach them. The command was no
sooner given than Capt. Randall and
sixteen men made the charge, broke
through the Indian line, reached the
position named, dismounted and re
turned the lire. In the charge Capt.
Randall was mortally wounded,
Benj. Evans killed, and three of the
others wounded. They fought there
for nearly an hour and kept the In
dians at bay. In about half an hour
after it was known that ihe Indians
had the volunteers in a tight place,
Col. Perry gave orders for fifty men
to go to their rescue. It was quietly
obeyed, and they were relieved in
about one hour after the charge. No
pursuit of the Indians was ordered,
a retreat was made to camp, and no
pursuit had been made since tip to
the time Morrills left.

THE LOSS OP THE CONTROL OP THE TRI
BUNE, AND NOT HIS DEFEAT IN THE
F.LECTION. THE CAUSE OF HOR
ACE GREELEY’S INSANI
TY AND DEATH.
It is now nearly five years since
the death of Horace Greely; and
during all that time the public has
rested in the belief that his iusanitv
and death were the result of mortifi
cation at his defeat in the Presi
dential contest of 1872. That this
was not the truth has been known to
a few of his intimate ami life long
friends, but for reasons known only
to themselves, they have been silent.
At last however, it is in the power of
the Sun to lay before the public the
circumstances which led to the in
sanity and death of Mr. Greeley, and
to show that it was not his defeat for
the Presidency, nor yet his domes
tic afflictions that led to these re
sults, but that only when he was
deposed from the control of the
newspaper which he had founded
and built, did his reason give way,
and his busy life go out in darkness
and gloom.
It will be remembered that shortly
after Mr. Greelev accepted the nomi
nation of the Liberals and Demo
crats for the Presidency, he publish
ed a card in wbich he announced his
retirement from the active editorial
management of the Tribune. When
it became plain that he was defeated
in the election, his first thought was
for his paper, and he determined to
resume the control of its columns.
This intention he announced to the
readers of the Tribune in the issue of
Nov. 7, in a card written in his usual
vigorous style. But simultaneously
with the publication of this card, and
on the same page of the paper, there
appeared an article entitled “Crumbs
of comfort,” which had not been seen
or approved by Mr. Greeley.
Mr. Greeley was greatly surprised
and shocked when he read the
“Crumbs of Comfort.” He at once
wrote an article, a fac-siiuilo of
which is printed above, and ordered
it to be inserted In the Tribune of the
next morning, Nov. 8, under the ed
itorial head. Its language was as
follows:
“By some uuaccouutabie fatality
an article entitled “Crumbs of Com
fort” crept into our last, unseen by
the editor, which does him the gross
est wrong. It is true that office
seekers uaed to pester him for re
commendations when his friends
controlled theCustora House,though
the “red-nosed” variety was seldom
found among them; it is not true
that he ever obeyed a summons to
Washington In order that he might
there promote or oppose legislation
in favor of this or that private
scheme. In short, the article is a
monstrous fable, based on some
other expedience than that of any
editor or this journal.”
Mr Greeley went home confident that
his repudiation of the authorship of the
“Crumbs of Comfort” article would
appear iu the Tribune of the
following day. Bat it did not
appear. By the direction of the
actual editor it was left out. Mr.
Greeley hastened to the office for an ex
planation, and was there informed that
the article had been omitted by the direc
tion of the editor in charge. He again
ordered the article to tie inserted on the
following day, but again his order was una
vailing. For three days, as we are in
formed, Mr. Greeley entreated, begged,
and threatened, to get his disclaimer print
ed, but all in vain. Then it was that he
began to realize that he had been depos
ed from the control of the lribune.
Another had assumed the management of
the journal founded by him, and if he re
mained connected with it longer, it must
be only as amere subordinate. He could
not consent to that, and on the 12th of
November he left the editorial rooms of
tb< Tribune forever, a broken hearted
man; and he never returned.
boon it began to be whispered that Mr.
Greeley was sick, and that he was insane,
and had been conveyed to an asylum.
Finally, about the 2oth of that month, a
statement to the latter effect was printed
in one of the morning newspapers. The
next morning the following paragraph,
which had been sentto the other paper
from the Tribune office was printed in
most of them;
“The report of Mr. Greeley's confine
ment nt Bloomingilulc, or any other asy
lum, or of application for his admission
to any, are preposterous. He is still suf
fering from a nervous collapse, the result
of loss of nearly all sleep almost contin
uously for over a month, during his wife’s
illness. This finally affected the nerves of
the stomach, and it for days rejected food,
whereby the system was still more weak
ened. Within a day or two there has
been a marked change for the better,
both in sleeping and eating, and his phy
sicians are hopeful; but he is still a very
sick man, and for the present, his friends
can best show their regard by letting him
alone.”
The truth is that, at the time this was
printed, Mr. Greeley had been confined
for nearly a week in Dr. Choate’s private
insane asylum, where none were permit-

The feasibility of bringing these au
imals within rauge of domestic uses
has been advocated by many whom
a close observance of their natural
habits has led to favorable conclu
sions upon the subject. Unfortu
nately but very few efforts have been
made to put the theory into practice,
and when attempted it has generally
been by inter-breediDg with ordina
ry farm cattle. It is, therefore, with
more than usual interest that we
note the doings of Mr. Juntos Mc-
Kay at Long Lake, in Manitoba,
who has now some six bisons (buffa
lo is the commonly incorrect phrase)
ou bis grazing farm. Two of the ani
mals are calves, captured on the
Western plateaus last fall. The other
four are full grown, but very tracta
ble. Feeding with the cattle during
the day, and following them to
the river for water, they appear to
have adopted the general farm-yard
bovine habit3 with a readiness which
speaks volumes in favor of ultimate
utilization. When night draws near
they are generally the flrst to seek
the warmly sheltered stables, and, in
fact, have so well learned the useful
ness of those quarters that when
warned by their natural and almost
unerring instinct of ah approaching
storm they invariably return to shel
ter, though often far in advance of
the ordirary cows. They display no
ferocity; neither do they evince any
desire to go beyond bounds, and hav
ing become habituted to mankind,
are seemingly content to graze in
peace and to be treated as the other
cattle are. Judiciously handled,
even without cross breeding, it would
seem plausible that attempts to util
ize them should prove remunerative,
both for the purpose of draft and
market supplies.

When that cultivated and intellec

Ann Moxon, of Cambridge, Mass.,
had the collar of her offensive little
poodle inscribed: "‘l’m Mary Ann

she thought it was rather a clever

encounter the pup and investigate
his reason for being. She was of
that mind for several days. But one
morning, the poodle, howling as

fired out of a gun, shot into the

very close, and a business card tied

An Imiinrlnnt and Curious Discovery.
The most Ingenious of all contriv
ances for finding the depth of the
sea is Siemeu’s Bathometer, a very
receDt invention. The bathometer
simply stands in the captain’s cabin
like a barometer, and indicates the
depth of the sea over which the ship
is passing, just as a barometer indi
eates the height of the atmosphere
above. The action of this ingenious
contrivance depends on the attrac
tion of the earth on a column of
mercury. This attraction is propor
tional to the earth’s density, and the
relative distance of its crust from the
mercury column. Earth being
denser than water, exercises a great
er dowoward attraction on the mer
cury. If then there are say a hun
dred fathoms of water just under the
mercury instead of a hundred fath
ams of earth or rock, there will be
loss downward attraction on it.
Taking advantage of this law, the
mercury column is adjusted so as to
indicate the attraction and give the
depth of water it corresponds to.—
