THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE. SUNDAY. JULY 30, 1876—SIXTEEN PAGES. Hean, who is an admirer of GODWIN, and thinks agood deal more highly of TiLpEN than his record deserves, speaks thus of the letter, which sufficiently expresses our views of the missive for present purposes: The trouble with Mr. PARKE Gonwry, as with the most of us, is, thut he is unable to sce the other eide of the question. His letter is clever thronghout; forcible in spots, an ingcnions jiece of special pleading; asa judicial enmming Dl Wwhich be seems to have intended it to be. it is O Nare. Nobody will seriously quarrel wilh his B eszant Innguage about Mr. TILLEN: it is easy ough to make the necessary discount for the ity of an old nud loyal fricnd; there is o P done. Dot when he allows himself to be Parried by the heat of composition into such ab- urd statements a3 this 2bout Mr. TiLbey reducing fhe Federa! taxation onc-half in less than three monthis, he weakens his case eadly. And he doesn’t. strengthen it any by his unjust deprecia- tion of Mr. Haves. Gentlemen have known 3. Haves vers mearly or quite as Jongand as intimately a8 Mr2 Pasike Gouwix has known Mr. MiLows, assure us that Lo is anything but the T lotiers nonentity Mr. Gupwix would make hims that he has not only a zood heart and an operative Eonscience. but a sound, well-stocked bruk Strong will; that he has only been biding hi %0 shiow the country the stusf that is in him. Apart Yeom their testimony, it i3 known that heisa quict, modest, cleanly; stuaions, patriotic zentle- O who i% not exactly & novice in affairs, and Do has been more successful in cecaping calumny Than Mr. Tnpes. The sent justice done the Republican candidate, aud the ahmost utter failure to micet the (non-personal) arguments ugainst the Geetion of even xo good a Democrat an 3ir. TiL- e Wder all the circumstances and in view of o probeble consequences, deprive Mr. Gop- Snvs lotter of the weight it might otherwise carry. 1t will probably convince very few who were not convinced before. ————— Andnow, in this very Centennial year, it is discovered that JEFrEmsoN didn't write the Dedarction of Independence, and that, when he Qaimed Be did, he simply stole the laurels that should have decked the grave of Towm PAINE. That is what the writer of an elaborate article upou the subject in the Washington Chronicl | has discovered. He recalls that JEFPERSON, in none of his contemporancous correspondence or other writings, sct up any claim to the au- thorship of the Dedlaration. In 1809, in answer to a proposition for the publication of his works, be avoided the question by putting that immor- {al instrument. in the category of *the acts of public bodies” to which there can be no per- sonel claim.®? In 1819 he again published his otes made on the spot as to the framing of the Declaration, but therein made no claim or ac- knowledgment that he wasits author. In 1821, upon the szme subject, he wrote: The Committee for drawing the Declaration of Jndependence desired me to do it. It was accord- ingly done; and. being approved by them, I report- ed it to the House. In 1823, twelve years ‘after PAINE's death, JerpERSON said, “Idrewit;” and, two years later, within twelve months of his death, he wrote that he “drafted™ it. In the original draft was a remonstrance against sending “ not only soldiers of our common blood, but Scotch 2nd foreign mercenaries, to invade and destroy us,” which clanse was stricken out, 8s JEFFER- sox stated, because “it excited the ire of a gen- tlemsn or two of that country.” Butinat- tempting to quote that very clauseit is remarked that JEFFERSON quotes it inaccurately, as “Scotch and other foreign auxiliaries,” an ecror which, bad he written the original, he culd scarce have fallen into. The ideas of the Declaration, it I3 also noted, are identical with those that pervade PAINE’s “Age of Reason,” to the style of which the Declaration more near- Iy conforms than to that of any of JEFFERSON’S writings before or since. The argument that PAINE, and not JEPFERSON, wrote the Declara- tion, for the rest, is analogous to that by which the authorship - of SHARSPEARE is attributed to BacoN, that PAINE was the only American of that time who could have written it. But against this all is the fact that the ideas pervading the Declaration were not peculiar to cither PAINE or JEFFERSON, but Were current in both Europe and America at that time; that the style of that instrument, while precise, strong, harmonious, and glowing, is not such as was above the capacity of many writers of that time when dealing with sucha theme; and, above all, that JEFFERSON him- salf, whose veracity was unimpeachable in his time, in his statement, pledges himself to Heaven for the truth of his assertionthat he “grew? the Declaration, which phrasc, as he ‘wsed it, meant that he was its author. ——————— ‘The father of CHARLEY R0SS isn’t writing his ‘book about the case for the sake of making a epeculation out of his misfortune. But, in his prolonged and bootless search for the boy, he has exhausted all bis fortune and drawn large- 1y upon the resources of his friends. At the same time, all the clews obtained indicate that thelad is probably yet alive, in the possession of confederates of the burglars MosuER and DoutLass, shot while breaking into a house. That being the casc; he would be worse cven than a speculator in his own misfortunes if he gaveup the search; and it is to ruise money to prosecute it the more vigorously that he pro- poses to publish the book, every dollar realized {rom which he will devote to that purpose. He proposes alsoto use the book to facilitate, if possible, the discovery of the boy, by giving a {full and minute deseription of him and of the several parties who are believed to have him now in hiding, and by awakening interest in the ‘matter to thus put the whole public on the look- out for him and them. Those well informed about the case are still confident that CHARLEY Iswithin a short distance of Boston in conceal- ment with the woman to whom he was given by the partner of Mosner and DoUGLASS. ——— * The British Consul in New York, in his offlcial ‘Teport to the British Forcien Office, speaking of the decline in trade between Great Britain and America, says: British manufactorers must henceforth expect an increasing com‘pe!ilinr_x in the Tnited Stites in these two branches of industry [iron and cotton], 28well 2 in fabrics of silk. ~ In regard to cotton E00ds, it ia not alone that they are being produced Dearly a8 cheaply as in England, but for certain qualities of goods msnufactured in gome of the New York and New England mills. a decided pref- erence exists over the highly-finished calicoes and shirtings of Manchester. But with stimulated roduction wages in the United States.will doubt- ices advance, indirectly owing in a small degree to ltlh.e increased expene of living, caused by the eary protective duties 1o which American manu- factarers so tensciouely cling, and this clement in the cost of production will fend lo di ish the Jorce of the competition with which British manu- Tecturers will have to contend, and give them a bet- chance in 1 tain their pre-coi- lercha lie struggle to retain their pre-cmi The etiquette of the kitchen, according tothe London World, daily grows more complicated. A wellimown nobleman recently engaged 2 €00k, Who gave him warning at the end of two or three days because she ound that he dealt at co-operative stores.

She insisted on lesving at once, as she ‘.mnld 10t remain in the house with people who 4did such things.” Upon this his L ordship as- serted his legal claim, and made ber pay him a month’s wages, which he sent to St. George's Hospital, e Nast's double-ended Democratic-Confederate tiger, which appears in Harper's Weekly, is a truthful, though laughable, representation of that party on the currency question. The Chicago Times and old BiLL StorEY pull With the TILDEN hard-shell ¢nd, and WAsH MCLEAN and his Cincinnati Enguirer tug at the HEN- DRICES soft-shell end of the animal, which is nearly pulled in two. Between them the tiger isin a predicament. —————— PERSONAL, The London Athenaum of the 15th announced the dangerons illness of Dr. Hans Voa Bulow. The presence of Prof. Swing and danghter at the Centennial is chronicled by one of the Philadelphia Papers. Alptionee Karr, the French novelist, derives the Tgest part of his income from his flower and veg- ctable garden. ‘The reason of Mrs. Gen. Sherman’s interference in behalf of fr. Blaine is not generally understood. They are cousins. Mr. Schenck has ennounced himself as a candi- date for Congres in the Dzyton (0.) District. He expects no English sympathy. Baron Albert Grant, the English Jim Fisk, is #mall man about 50 years of age, With a counte nance mot agtractive. Mr. Conway writes **There 15 nothing sly or covert in his appearanc on the contrary, his look is exactly that of a too impulsive gsmbler for the enormous | risks of the Stock-Exchenge.” Granthas estab- lished a reputation as an orator by his remarlable plea on his own bekalf. William 3. Evarts, E. R. and G. F. Hoar, ex- Gov. Baldwin, of Connecticut, and Sherman Day, ©of San Franclsco, are grandsons of Roger Sher- man. . Daniel Pratt, the Great American Traveler, feel- ing that this is no thne to gratify perional ambi- tion, resigns his pretensions to -the Presidency in favor of Gov. Hayes. Mr. Ernest W. and Moster Arthor M., sons of Mayor Heath, returned from Wisconein on Friday morning. 3Mr. Heath's return is preparatory to & trip through the East. Prince Milan of Servia was educated in Paris, and developed there remarkable staying qualitics, which, it is hoped, will serve him in good stead in his present enterprise. . Col. Valentine Baker, one of the very few En- glishmen present at the capitlation of Sedan, will contribate a paper on the subject to the September numbes of the Belgravia magazine.

Tle announces a modification of his views in regard to the wages-funds cansed by the researches of Prof. Walker. The aged John Lorimer Graham, who was buried in New York Wednesday, especially requested that there should be no display at his funeral, and par- ticularly that his collln should not be decorated with flowers. Mis wishes were observed. Recorder Mackett, of New York, inflicted a seri- ous injury upon one of his eyes while practicing with a pietol last weelz. He is known s ome of the finest pistol-shots in Americn. Not unlikely, his skill will snffer through the accident. Olive Logan-Stkes and hushand bave arrived at Cardiff, to which they have been sent as Consuls, Cardif is the greatest of the possessions of the fa- ‘mons Marquis of Bute, who s in turn one of the greatest characters in fiction, if not in real life. Prof. Dodge, of Berea College, thinks that undue importance is given in our schools to mathematice, and that the chief cause of alurm to educators is in the woful ignorance of the English language and its faulty use by nominally intelligent and educated people. > Mrs. Prentice, whose terrible fall at Purgatory four weeks ugo has been noticed, was at lust ac: countsstill alive. Iler death has been momenta- rily expected ever since the accident. When not under the infinence of oplates she suffers excru- cisting tortures. The divorce suit between Lord and TLady Ayles- ford, in which the Marquis of Blandford figures prominently, Las been indefinitely postponed. Lady Blandford is a beautiful woman of 2 years, and numbers amony her admirers Iis Royal High- ness the Prince of Wales. The English journals welcome the fine specch of Lord Dufferin about the preservation of the fortid- cations of Quebee, and the cchoing epirit of the Canadians, 23 & good example o England; and they trust to hear no more of proposais to destroy such works in English cities and towns. Moncure Conway feels himself called upon to express the fear that the Rev. Newman Tall jxa humbug, and the Rev. J. P. Thompson another. This is mot exactly an_evangelical thing to say. Yetit may be truc that Dr. Hall got more dollars than he deserved in America for Lis church by calling the stecple of it **Lincoln Tower.” A remarkable and sad romance has been desel- oped n New York. Itwill be remembered thata servant girl in that city recently accused herself of Daving poisoned her employer's little son. A post- mortem examination since held shows that the self- accusation is false. No traces of poison were dis- covered, bat evidence of organic disease sullicient tocause death was obtained. The servant girl is supposed to be inssne; but the mother of the child naturally believes, and probably alvays will be- lieve, that the story is true. Junius Browne writes of Francesca da Rimini in Appletons® Journal, having gleaned the traditious of her that still exist where five centuries ago she lived her brief life of mistaken marriage and love— g0 like in some things the story that Browning used in*¢ The Ring and the Book.” He heard in Rimini that, 300 years after their death, the bodies of Paolo and Francesca were found in their graves in Ravenna in such & state of preservation that the silken garments theyhad been buried in had under- gone little change. 1le thought the story onin- Vention, but afterward found the circumstances mentioned by the historian Carlo Troya as irref- fragable facts. The Springficld Republican desires Tre CHICAGO TrnoNE to esplain its frequent allusions to Bishop Gil Haven and hismilk-punch. We thought every- body knew of Gilbert’s experience in boyhood with that fascinating beverage. e told the story him- self publicly, only # few weeks ogo, relating how e looked on the punch when it was white, now he took the ramrod out of his principles and tasted, and how that one sip convinced him there could be no compromiso between pure religion and pure milk-punch. He abjured milk-punch from that moment; but still, in seasons of relaxation, the tempter whispers to him that, next to immortality, milk-punch is the best thing a-going. Mr. Gladstone's examination in the forthcoming Quarterly of Trevelyan's **Life of Lord Macau- lay™ is enid to be one of the most remarkable es- says of the year. It occupics fifty pages of the re- view, and forms on independent estimate of Aucanlay’s worth 28 & man of letters and a poli- tician. The Boston Advertiser says in this connec- tion: **Mz. Gladstone was in the firat-flush of his Drilliant carcer when the controversics growing out of Macaulay's later essays, and of portions of his History, were golng on; and he shows, by the keenness and spirit with which he writes about them now, £b long after the fires have all gone out, that he was not an indifferent or an idle witness of theconflict. e hasa very high, but still a quali- fled, admiration for Macaulay's genius. The his- tory of Macaulay, he says, whatever clse it may be, is the work not of a journeyman, but of a gre artist, who lavishly bestowed upon it all bis pow- era” ‘Maurice Strakosch has informed a reporter of the San Francisco Chronicle of his intention to build a new opera-house in that city.

Tie theatre will be entirely different from anything of {he kind in the United States, It will follow, in its interior arrangements, the Scala Theatre of Milen, or the San Carlo of Naples. ‘The orchestra chairs will seat 1,000. Instead of the usval family and dress circles there will be tiery of boxes running entirely around the theatre. There will be 100 of these, and opening from each of them will be a small room. Above these boxes will be a large gallery which will accommodate 1,000 people, ‘Tmaking the total capacity of the theatre 2,500. In nddition, there will be three proscenium boses. ‘After the completion of the building, the 100 boxes poken of will be disposed of, Lalf at public and the rest at private sale. HOTEL ARRIVALS.

Some of Sitting Bull's Forces Sneaking Back to the Agencies. They Are Exceedingly Reticent Concerning the Custer Mas- sacre. Much Hostility Shown to the Order for Disarming the Savages. The Change from Civil to Military Ad- winistration Not at All Liked. Denial ‘of the Sensational Report About the Massacre of Crook's Command. THE AGENCIES. Cnevevse, Wy. 29.—Previous repor ts, are in part con- firmed by the news received at Fort Laramie from Red Cloud to-day. Runmers have ar- rived at that agency, said to have come from Crazy Horse's band of Minnceonjous, and stating that that Chief, with & portion of his band, lad left Sitting Bull’s domains, and are en route to the agencies avowedly to treat for peace. The turning over of the agencies at Red Cloud and Spotted Tail has not heen without difticulty. While a majority of the Ingdians are disposed to submit gracefully theretd, quitea number express dissatisfaction to have the sol- dier fathers placed over them,and final couneil is being held at Red Cloud to-day. Some dis- satisfaction is felt by the Indians at the meagre supply of food, which consists entirely of corn, flour, and beef. They insist on sugar, coffee, and tobacco, in fulfillment of the treaty stipulations, and are attributing the departure from the agen- cies of those who have joined the hostiles to this fact mther thau a desire for war. Apprehension of the inability to carry out the orders to disarm all these Indians before allowing them to return to the agency exists at Camps Sheridan and Rob- inson. Two companies of the Third Cavalry go to Sheridan, increasing the foree at thas post to four companies, while at Camp Robinson therce is only three companies exclusive of one of the Third Cavalry at Siduey Crossing,not far distant. The report made by John Marsh in forwarding the memorandum-hook belonging to L. P. Richardson is contradicted by W. I Hibbard, who arrived here this cvening, having met Richerdson and a coach-Joad of passengers at Hat Creck on the 26th insi Omamny, Neb., July 26.—An official telegram from Fort Laramie says a courier just arrived from Red Clond Agency says Red Cloud told him that Crazy Horse was coming into the agency very soou,—that his band was now on the way there. Twenty lodges bad already wrived, Crazy Horse lias sent word to Capt. Egan that he would scc him, shake bands, make a treaty, and be fricndly. The Indians lately arrived won't talk about the fight, and preténd to know nothing of it. A council was held at the Cheyenne camn while the courier was detained there to tulk over the change from civil to military authori- tics. Many opposed it. Red Cloud has cx- pressed sztisfaction at the chauge. Fears are appreliended that auy attempts to deprive the Indiuns of their ponies and arms will meet with Tesistance, as they can muster a large force, well armed, while the number of troops at the post 1s very small. It is thought they will allow themselves to be numbered without opposition. BISMARCK ITEMS. Special Dispaich to The Tridune. ST. PAvL, Minn., July 20.—Biemurck advices to-day include 2 rumor of some steamer being burned on the Yellowstone. The rumor comes through Indian sources and lacks confirmation. Tho steamers are past due from Terry’s depart- ment. A company of Dominion mounted police, for services on the border, has arrived at Bismarck, will proceed to Fort Benton by boat, and thence march northward to the Dominion forts. A company of infantry from Fort Snelllng and another from Abercrombie have been ordered to Standing Rock Agency totakeorder from Sheri- dan for o military control of the Standing Rock, Cheyenne, and Lower Brule Agencies, and the order to treat all Indians going outside or coming from_the outside us enemics, to be Gisarmed and be deprived of their ponies, will be. Drumfitly carried out. Maj. Lazalle, commanding Fort Sully, has been authorized to endeavor to recover the horses stolen from Two Kettles’ band of friend- 1y Indians, and arrest the thieves, who huve <ong into the Black Hills with the stolen horacs, Sixty in pumber. < ARMY MATTERS. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 20.—The Sccretary of War has sent to the Ilouse the dispatch of Gen. Sheridan, recommending an increase of the compinies of the Secoud, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh Cavalry to 100 men cach, as was done for two regiments on the Rio Grande, and submits an estimate for the men required in addition to the 25,000 men authorized by law. The number required to fill the regiments of cavalry on the frontier aud in Texas to the maximum of 100 men to cach company will be 2,500, and the expenses S1,634,700. Gen. Sher- joan prefers these regular entistments to volun- teers. ‘Onc hundred and twenty-one recruits are to be forwarded to regiments in Dakota and Col- orado sind forty-four to Gen. Terry’s command. New York, July 20.—The United States Quartermaster’s Department arrunged to-day with the Pennsylvania Railroad for the prompt transportation of 300 soldiers to the Sioux coun- try. The troops start to-morrow wmorning. NOT TRUE. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 20.—The sensation- al story about the massacre of Crook’s com- mand is entirely discredited. The camp-sutler, Fray, through whom the story is said to have come, has written to friends here within a day or so, and_made no mention of such a story. Fray himself is expected hiere next weck. Clievexse, Wy. Ter., July 20.—There is o authority for the report of Gen. Crook’s tight. ‘This Fray report was made by him first at Sid- ney, two wee‘ks ago, and contradicted from bere by fater dates. —_— TITE CANADIAN INDIANS. Spectat Dispatch to The Tridune. Otraws, July 29.—The Dorainion Govern- ment have received dispatches from the North- west with information that the American Sioux tribes have sent dispatches to the Canadian Sioux and Blackfeet of the Northwest, secking an offensive and defensive alliance against the white race generally, and when that _offer was rejected by the loyal Indians of the Nopthwest, a2 proposition was made to join the Southern tribes in their war against the United_States. “This nlso was rejected by the Canadizan Indians. THE BAYONET POLICY. To the Editor of The Tribune. Cricaco, July 27.—In your issuc of the23d inst., I notice what purports to be an answer to aletter published in your columus of the 9th over my signature, the same belog an addendum 0 one written by myself and published iu your paper Nov. 80, 187, cutitled, Lo, the Poor Indian.” The auswer to which I referis pub- lished over the name of “Dr. James W. THaines,” who, I infer, is, or was, one of the Quaker Indian-tamers, and, Iikc all other men, is anxious to have the applause of his fellow- citizens. In view of this fact, 1 cannot and will not censure him for the zeal with which he witlds the pen in defense of the modern theory of fighting savages with paper balls, mud bullets, and leather guus. The statistics to which he refers showing that in the preceding six years therc has been less butcher- ing by the savages than at any time before the introduction of the peace, or Qualker, policy in the same number of years. To save argument, 1 will admit the truth of his assertion, und the only answer I have to make is, that about cight Feats before the introdaction of his policy 700 men, women, and children on the fronticrs of 3finnesota, Iows, and Dakota dicd the most ter- rible deaths ever knmown at the hands of these _savage brutes;: and let it be remc that hese innocent and helpless persons were mnot charged by the Indians with having done them any wrong.” For adetailed accountof this horrid slaughter, I. call his attention to an article from the pen of Isaae V.D. Heard, entitled “The Atrocious Sioux,” published in your lust Sunday’s edition. So dreadful and terrible is the history of this massacre, that, inhuman ss friend Haines calis me, my pen would tremble were Ito attempt its rehearsal. About this timemy pokicy was introdaced on a small scale through the agency of Gen. Sibley, who, with 1,400 men, “brave and truc,” pursted the Indians and captured about 400 of thesc fiends of the forest, who weré brought back to the sceme of their late exploits, tried, and most all condemned to death, But that great and good man, Lincoln, who always errcd on the side of mercy, directed that only about forty of them should suffer the death penalty. The mercy he showed in behalf of these condemned assassing was eruelty to his own race, but even this emall homeopathic duse of my medicine they had not forgotten when the uew Indian tamers went among them Ilzd the entire sentence of the law been executed on these red devils, as directed by the jury that tried them, Sitting Bull would have just about that number 1ess with which to butcher and to torture brave Custer_and his gallant band of heroes. My friend Haines asks if I were the possessor of territory like the Black Hills, and had hc’n reared in the traditions of the Indians, with the same knowledge and ideas that the Indian has, would I act differently from them! I will add, if mny friend Haines bud enlarged a little upon this” interrogatory, lie would have me in the change of position 4 full grown Sioux. Had my motlier_ been 8 squaw, and my father 3 Sioux Indian, the auswer would ~ be in the aflirmative; therefore, not knowing what kind of an animal I would be if I were to lose one- half of my identity, being half savage and half civilized, T confess I cannot tell just what I would do in such a condition; but, this much I will say, that if Iwerea wolf, a snake, a tiger, ther kind of animal that was in the way vilization, I do think friend Haines would be in favor of my removal, and so he should be with the Indiaus and ll otker finpediments to human .progress. Notwithstanding the con- clusions ut which my friend Hpines has arrived in resard to myself, I beg leave to Inform him that I am one of the many who believe that the poorest usc that can be made of & man is to kill him. I have as much regard for human life as he has, and would takeit under 10 circumstances except to preserve iy ownand my fellow-man’s. L have an inborn repugnance to the shedding of humun blood, and he who hus not this feeiing, though called a man, has only the instinets of a_brute. Again, e who \ould not defend the innocent ana helpless babe in its mother’s arms, or elsewhere, is not endowed with that courage which should adorn a civilized being, and more, the mother, tender angel of mercy, the man who should so far forget his duty as to allow her to suffer indignity, much less to become a prey to the cruel tomahawk and scalpingkuife, _wielded though it may be b&“ Lo, the poor Indian,” is befow the biute. Now, to correctmy friend’s impressions about_cxterininating the Indians, let me say to him: I have never spoken or writ- ten in defense of any such doctrine, but I do say that if my neighbor’n house is on fire, and mmy own is about to_be destroyed unless lis is s torn down, then it becomes a law of necessity onmy _part to tear it down for him, and inso doing I'do no wrong; end so it is in case of the Indians. The temporizing policy of our Gov- croment hus for many years past. enlarged the Jong list of Dbutcheries ~which ~ have beer committed by the wild men of the forest. ~Our blood freczes at the enumeration of the tortures our kinsmen have undergone while delving down into the distant mountains of the uncultivated wilds; the bones of our fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters, together with countless’ thousands of innocent children, lic unburied on the plains aud mountains of the West and Northwest; their flesh has become food for the wild beasts of the forest. For this sad condition of things, theend of which I fear has not yet vome, I mourn to think an apologlst can be found, and more especially do I regret that it emanates from one of that noble race of men and women, among whom have so many kinsmen,—the Qual 1 know their encral repugnance to all kinds of cruelty; 1 Enow all the ood traits of character for which they are so preeminentiy distinguished ; I know that their relationsin lite are not contined to raising broom-corn or garden-seeds, but even if it were, they, with the many good traits they now have am’l possessed, should not be astamed of their history. Ihave reud thelife of Penn, Franlin, Paing, end many others of the Qualker faith, and while in somc matters I differ with them, the immortal vames above alluded to will be cnshrived in my heart until recollection shall fade Not- withstanding all _this, the Dbusiness - of taming the old method, such as Wwas p in the carly days of our history, they forget the change that lus overtaken the North American Indian, and, in short, the modern Quakers or Christians ar lure as Indian tamers. I re- peat I am not for extermination, but I am for stopping, now and forever, the horrid crueltics to which I have alluded, and net by the siow process porsuasion, but by the strong arm of the Government. Let the Indian for once sec, and if need be feel, our power. Let them be taught to fear the Government they live under. If this be done, 1 am of tlic opinion that the ond of Indian massacres is mear at hand.

A DMILL AT TORONTO. Speciat Dispatch to The Tribune. ToroxTo, Juty 20.—During the past week 20 exhibition of sparring by several noted pugi- Jists has been taking place in the Queen’s Thea- tre here, at which the principal stars were Jem Mace, the English champion, and Steve Taylor, abruiser from theStates. A man named Charles Macdonald essuyed last ovening to box with the latter, and afteraseverecontest got worsted, and being enramed challenged Taylor to meet him without gloves. An arrangement was quietly made to fight in Queen’s Park this forenoon. Ac- cordingly, about 50’clock the two men, surround- ed by their friends and backers, assembled in the park and fought it out, Taylor getting the best of Mucdonald after a brief but bloody Lattle. An attempt is being mude to kecp mat- ters quiet in order that the two pugilists may et out of town. r—— BRUTAL ENCOUNTER.

Report on the Relation of Dues to Benefits in 0dd-Fellowship. MASONIC. TIE ADVENTURES OF RONAYNT. To the Editor of The Tribune. WEeNON, July 25.—One Edmund Ronayne, who pretends to hail from Keystone Lodge, Na. 639, Chicago, has been making pn ass of him- self here this week. He is holdine public meet- ings in McCall’s Hall, and the past two nights has gone through with what he calls the « Initiatory Ceremony of Freemasonry.” The hall has been crowded each evening with people who go out of curiosity, and some few who are in sympathy. Respeetable citizens are disgusted. Iis re- marks and actions at times ure of the most vulgar und disgusting nature. He s a perjurer of the most contemptible kind, and why he is permitted to run at large is something our State Board of Charities must auswer. He is in some way connected with the Chicago Cynosure, which publication boasts of being o Christian paper. If it wishes to retain the name of Christian let it call in its vulgar blackguard who is traveling the State over in- sulting and disgusting decent people. His at- tack on the Judez and Mr. P. W. Wilcox, of Mendota, was made up of the most yalgar epi- thets and shameful outright lying. Mr. Wilcox will be here to-night for the purpose of engag- ing the gentleman in public discussion. In all probability he will tone down his remarks some- what when he meets a gentleman who can lay bim out fiat in less timethun it takes to tell it Boaz. THE CONSISTORY EXCURSION. Tlustrious _ Brother Henry H. Tond, First Licutenant - of Thirty-third Degree, Oriental Consistory Thirty-secoud degree of this city, has just returned from a it to New York and Philadelplia in the interest of his command. While East he formed the acquaint- ance of many of thejIllustrious Eastern fathers, and from them aseertained that extensive prep- arations were being made for the fortheoting visit of the Consistory from Chicago, and from all facts gathered the pilgrimage of Ovientul to the Centennial Exposition will form one of the most notable events in Western Masonic eireles. Among the many treats.in store for the mem- bers of the Consistory in Philadelphia is an ex- cursion on Friday, Augs. 18, down the ware River on one of the stcamers built for exeursion purposes; also in the evening of the same day a grand banquet the Academy of Music, in which the Ilustrious brethren, tozether with their Iady friends, can participate. ‘The Fraters of New York, Brooklyn, aud Jersey City are putting forth every cifurt to entertain the members of Orientalin good shape, and from their reputation the Chicago brethren can rest assured that they will meet with 2 cordisl grecting ou every hund. Ww York the Con- sistory will make their headquarters at the Grand Central Hotel, and in Philadeiphia at the United States, situated at the teanial grounds. On the morning of the 15th of Au- Fust in New York Oricutal Consistory will act as as escort,in full uniform,to the Supreme Council Thirty-third Degree, to its place of assembling, Iane Lodge Hall, on Broadway. The members of the Oriental Consistory willassemble at their Asylum Saturday afternioon, Aug. 12, in full regalia, for the purpose of wmarching thence in o body to the depot. TIDINGS FROM THE CRAFT. Lincoln Park Chapter, U. D.,has just ordered an equipment from 2 house in this city. Oriental Consistory on Thursday evening last conferred the 30th grade on seven candidates. Tils. Bro. T. T. Gurney, 331 degrec, Past Cominander-in-Chief of Oricntal Cousistory, is still sojourning East, ready to meet his old com- mand on Aug. 14 in New York. 1lls. Brother H. M. Cameron has just return- ed from the Pacific Slope, where he hus resided during the past two years. He joins Oriental Consistory, of W] he is 2 member, in the ex- cursion to the East next month. Washington Chapter No. 43 met Fridas even- fng at thelr ball, corner Halsted and Randuiph streets, and conferred the Royal Arch Degree for the twentieth time for the expired part of this Masonic year. There were present 1miny visitors from sister chapters. For the occasiont there was preparcd an clegant banquet, of which all the visitors partook. Among those who were called upon for speeches was John N. Crawford, a lawyer, formerly of Davenport, Ia., now of this city. . The brethren of Apollo Lodge No. 642 had a very successful picnic Wednesday last at Tracy Avénue Grove. Thelady visitors cvidently cnjoy- ed the good music, for dancing was kept up with upabated zest to the clost. A croquet set, which was in the bills for competition, was, after a spirited contest, won by Mrs. Charles Tinley, over 600 votes being cast. Base ball, singiug, and other amusements, filled out a very pleasant day. Apollo Lodge has reasoi to congratulute itself on the success of its annual picnic. ODD-FELLOWSHIZ, DUES AND BENEFITS, The question of the relation of dues to bene- fits is attracting general attention among the fraternity, and many jurisdictions are collecting: and classifying statistics with a view of duf mining the ratio necessary to.a sound financial prosperity, The Grand Lodge of Connecticut at its recent session received a very carefully prepared and elaborate report of a special com- Imittee which embodies much material for study and reflection. The matter is so important thad the following extracts arc given: A schedule has been carcfully prepared from the gemi-annnal reports made by ull the Lodges, tak- ing the terms in cach year to make up tie annial stutement. the membership being taken from the July report, and includes the entire jurisdiction. For the year 1870 the sickness rute wus 52 weeks for cach 100 members. For the year 1871 the sickness rate was 49 39-100 .cks foreuch 100 members. or the year 1872 thesickness rate was 62 27-100 ceks for eech 100 members, W‘i;'nr the year 1873 the uess rate was 56 12-100 - weeks for each 100 members. Forthe year 1874 the sickness rate was59 88-100 weeks for each 100 members. For the year 1875 the sickuess rate was G4 weeks for each 100 members, Phe total average rate for the six years being 57 28-100 weeks for cuch 100 members. This is equal to four days® sickness for each brother, cost- ing the Lodge, at $4 per week, $2.30. Counting one-third (§2) of 56 for _expenses, we have S1. 7 to ndd to the fund, provided the receipts for initia- tions and degrees cover the amount paid for fun. eral benefits aud donations. A lonzer period will, of conrc, supply data that will be more exact. This rate is 8 $2-100 per cent below that of Penn- sylvania for one year. s A long experience of actual practice is what we nced, aiter all, and we have it in the old Lodges. "'he information that fhese can give will furnish ‘8 o basis to work upon until we are able to obtain the more definite and precise knowledge afforded Dy the sickness tables of u generation. = \With wmortality at 1 per cent, and the sickness rate 08 above noted, together with the experience of thesc old Lodges, we feel that 1t is perfectly gafe, from thesc premises, to deduce the follow- ing+ That Lodges in Connccticut, adopting a sys- tem of receipts and disbursements as indicated be- fow, will be able to maintain solvency. Yearly ducs, $6; initiation fee, $10 to 830, ac- cording_to nge, with $3 added to $30 each year wbove 15; weokly beneflts, $1; funeral benetts, $30; bencfit deuth of wife, $15, snd such dona- tions, from time to time, as circumstances would secm to warrant. o This ratio of dues and benefits is a little better for the Lodge than the estimate of the Grand Scc- retary of Penns: nia, making the dues 15 cents per week for S5 weekly beneilt. 3 "These Lodges, located in different parts of the State (three only in cities), bave had, as we would Anturally expect, a varied experience during the pust thirty-four years. ¥ They have seen adversity and_disaster. as well as prosperity. Times of epideinic, 28 well as sea- sona of general health; times of war and timgs of peace; financial panics, and busincss brisk and re- munerative. They have at times made poor in- vestments, and at others mispluced confidence has weakened though not erippled their financial con- dition. But, notwithstanding sl this, they are in a sound condition to-day. with prospects prohably better than at any previous time in their history. The receipts for interest in some of them more than pay the current expenses. They have been favored with no special cndowment. Their reve: nue has been derived from regular sources, 2od they have always been able to promptly mect their obligations. Here is a lesson from these old Lodges, *‘speak- ine from age and experience,” which the yoonger will do well to heed. 2 Most of the lodges in this jurisdiction, however, have aiready adopted a system of dues and ‘benefits 1n & ratio of six to four—S6 for vearly dues, payn- ble quarterly, and S+ weekly benefit,—and those that have not, we ask, if, in the light of this cxpe- rience, it i8 not clearly for their intercst to do g0 at once, for thisis the record of these lodges for the life'a? 8 generation, and 8 experience all may expect. The old maxim, Lndngood' is, **In times of success prepare for roverses, they will surely come, and may unexpectedl these ruggestions are acted upon, fll-success and advenity will not eriously impair their ability to meet promptiy all their obligutions, and F«:nemlly L& able to sdd something to the udge fund, 1t Grund Lodges will note the expe- rience of their subordinatés that havea contina- ous history of thirty-three years, and test it by this pange, they can easily determine whether they. Deed to chiange their system or not, and we may hope to have, within a short time, 3 basis @ proaching uniformity, upon which the lodg throughout the country can live and prosper. In other States, where there is more sickness, 8 greater difference between the dces and benefits will be requisite; but where there is not so much, the difference may, perhaps, be less. Itis pre- suned that the sickness rate, in anamber of years, will averaze about the same inall the jurisdictions, except in tie Gulf States and in other countries where climatic infuences nnfavorably affect the generul health.

Louts, July 20.—Last Thursday afternoon whispered rumors upon the streets were heard affecting the repuiation of the Butchers’ and Drovers' Bauk, considered by many the strong- estin the city. No one could tell what the trouble was, its extent, or liability to culminate in wide-spread evil. The most persistent in- quiry failed to detect any real facts, but still the story was repeated until on Friday it became quite fumili; It was said that the bank was in trouble, but no one could define it. So far as can be ascertained it grew out of the follow- ing facts: Several of the depositors became alarmed about savings banks in general, be- cause of the late failure of the Central Suvings Bank. Tie alarm spread to other depositors, and ezrly this morning & cousiderable crowd as- sembled to draw their money. The - throng be- came so great that policemen were sent for to regulate _their movements, so that us soon_as otie set of depositors drew ther money another could take their places, ‘prescnt their certifi- cates they had thiem, and in turn depart sat- isfied. About noon the cxcitement had sub- sided, and at & ocloek not more than half a dozen customers were in the bank. The President, B: M. Chambers, said to your correspondent: “The depositors in the Centrel Savings Bank were also deposi- tors with us. They maturally felt scared, and 1o one can blame them, but they will find’ that in this case they have no grouna for fear.
