He came here to make some slight modifications in the interior of the new Fost-Oflice and Custom-Oftice, s0 faras the ar- rangement of rooms js concerned. A Tuimune re- porter catled upon the gentleman yesterday after- noon, and from bim learned that Mr. Mullett’s plan contemplated that the main entrance to the Poat-Oflice should be on Dearborn street. The qmain front bad been so planned ay to place it on Dearborn street, but the general desire seemed to be ‘that the frout te placed on Clark, The only objection that would-be urged against the change lay in the fact that on Clark street there was an overhanging purtico, which might be in the way of a rapid delivery of the mails. “But this objection can bt easily overcome by placing chutes ateither siae of the portico, the heavy mail to be delivered in the basement, and the iocked bags car- ried across the porch into the corridor.” This change will probably be concurred in by the uu- thorities at Washington, since the Clurk-street frontis quite as imposing as that on Dearbornstrect, the only difference being in the ceatre portico aad roof, ‘The building will be under roof before cold weather setain.” It will require good, sharp work, but | arrangementy = have | heen made which will bring it avout The iron-work contract for the roof was let last week to the Philadelphia Architectural Iron Works, who agree to have the work up and fin- ished in four months.

Yesterday afternoon Humboldt Park was for- mally opened, and about thirty carriage-loads of pergons did-the job, assisted by several hundreds of private citizens,—men. women, and chil- dren, There were probably 500 people’ upon the grounds duriny the afternoon. A pro- ceasion of carriages started from the ofllce of the West Side Park Commissioners, corner of Halsted and Washington streets, at about half-past 2 o’clock, containing & liberal representation from the County Board, the Council, Judge, Rogers, Judge Booth, the Mon.

Prine grounds were tastefully decorated with bedé of flowers, gorgeous plants, ‘cascades, waterfalla, rustic bencher. pop-bottles, artistic stumps, and United States fags stretched 23 awn- ings 0} commonplace —beer-tables. An imposing line of soda-water and ice-cream stands garnished the incloed improvements, while now and taen a booth which sold something stronger stood sentinel just outside. ‘After parading abont in the hot sun fora reason- able length of time, the carriages drew up in front of THE GRAND STAND in the centre, the occupants alighted and hnnted what few sbady spots they could find avallaale, while the band climbed into the stand and played afew. The buotha were the centre of attriction, however, and they did a lively business, A few chartered row-boats, and punished taemselves upon the glaring waters of the large take, which was about’ the only really beautiful fea ure pre- sented, while others strolled over the grounds, ‘Hutnboldt Park is yet in its infancy, and cannot befexpeeted to show off ay well ay Kome of its older neizhbora, but sulla great work hus been done here, considering the very short space of time which the Commissioners have had to trans- form it from a wilderness to aflowery, artistic at~ truction. ‘The park contains 200 acres, eignty of which have been improved. ‘There has been a vast quantity of trees set out, but they de not ap- pear to be thrivias as well as ‘could ov wished. It is said that $105, 000 have been exnended thus far, and still the work of improvement has only com- menced, ‘the formal party from the city remained upon the grounds of Humboldt Park until toward night, when wany drove over to Central Park, a short distance to the southward, and dthers, whove tine was litaited, returned via Milwaukee avenue. The park is situated avout four miles from the centre of the city, and is casily accessible to the people, though the route is not quite so smooth and direct au it fa to Central Park. Henry Greenebauin, Grand Marshal, hag issued a general order. giving the following tine of march, ete.. for the dedication of Humboldt Park, which takes place to-day: The First Division will form on Sangamon street, the Second Reziment. pre- ceded by ita own band, taking the right, resting on Milwaukee avenue. This division also includes the Turners and the several Germon societies. The Second Division will form on Second street, right resting on Milwazkee avenue, and will include the Scandinavian societiea. The Third will forin west on Chicago avenue, right resting on Milwaukee avenue. ‘The procession will move at 11 a. m. {rom the corner of Sangaraun street and Milwau~ kee avenue, nortnward on Milwaukee avenue to North avenue, and west on North avenue to Hum- Uoldt Park. esides the various societics refer red to, and the eeveral Mursbaly with their aids, there ‘wil be a number of lagies, speakers, aud otner invited guests in carriuges. Beer will ve sold at the dedication of the park to-murrow--not inside the fence, but outside, 40 that when a participant in the exercises is tniraty he will have to go u mile or xo in order toget some- ining to drink. Henry Gireenebaum favored lager on the grounds, since the scllers and the drinkers could be controlled by the Park Police; but Clark Lipe thought beer inside would lead tu ladies being insulted, etc. and Lipe carried lis pomt. - Greene- baum and nis petition, however, secured the cun+ cession that five beer-ouths inight be erected near by the park limits. But vop, cider, and ico-cream Will bave full swing on the instde. ‘The Second Regiment has signified its acceptance of the invitation extended by the West Park Com- missioners und will join in the ceremonies attend- ing the formul openinw of Uumboldt Park to-day. ‘Tae command is ordered to assemble at the Armory at10a.m., vo as to enable it to promptly join the procession and move witn it from Aurora Tarner HallatiL Tne pistelpation by the Second Regn- ment in the celebrution undoubtedly will aud greatly to the eclat of the occasion. COL. SHERIDAN. HIS RETURN FROM CUSTER’S BATTLE-FIELD, Lieut.-Col. M. V. Sheridan, aide-de-camp on the staff of his brother, Lieut.-Gen. Sheridan, re- turned last evening froma trip to the immortal buttle-ground of the lamented Custer, whither he went to secure the bodies of the oflicere who were massacred by the savages a year ago, and who had ‘been buried oy sympathetic hands, and their rest- ing-places marked by a stone. A Trivune reporter called apon him shortly after tea, and found him willing te tell his ex- perience. He had bad on uneventful trip, though he very likely looked upon it in the light of a sul- dier, He starteu from Cedar Creck, fu Montana, about fifty miles ovlow the mouth of the Tougue Kiver, ou the 20th of May last, with one company of the Seventh Cavalry, under command of Capt. Nowlan and Lient. Scott. Col. Sheridan also took along four scouts, or two guides and two interpre- ters (white). and eight Crow Indians. ‘I'wo of the latter hud been in the terrivle tigat, and were use- ful in findi: staimed spot. 2 ‘The command marched up to the mouth of the Big Horn, and swam the:r horses, across the Yel- Jowstone River. The oaggage was ferricd across in **little mackinaws.” From this point, the troops marched to the mouth of the Little Horn up the Big Horn, and swam the latter stream, and from thence marched to the pattle-ground. ubout Siteen miles distant. In ail 200 mijes were marched over, and two very bad rivers were crossed. TUE GROUND UPON WHICH THE BATTLE WAS FOUGHT is what is called in that country ‘‘bad lands,” and is peculiar in itself, It consists of a dry, ashy soll, upun the surface of which 1s formed a slight crust, covered with a light growth of grass. It is easily washed by rains, and even the winds will some- tnnes change the formation of the earth ina sin- gle night so that one would scarcely recognize tue country in the morning. These ‘bad lands” he upon the ewat side of the Little Horn River, and at most seasons of the year ate impassable for wayon-traing. However, The Big Hern rans # litte north of east at this point, while the Little Horn comes into itfrom a eoutherly direction, and the V-shaped tract of land tying between the two streams is a beautiful couniry, rich and fertile. It was in this -ficid that the memorable battle was tought, in which over 200 brave men lost taeir lives, witn but 4 single one lett to tell the story. ‘The soldiers were hurriedly buri the work bavmg but four in’ their possession, und danyer — lurk- ing around. Ag a consequence, the bleached and ghastly bones were strewed about, or ly1 bulf exposed iu theground. ‘These were collec and properly buried, walle’ the remains of tiyeive of the sixteen olticers of the command, which had been more caretully buried, were divinterred, boxed up in rude coiling and brought back a por- tion of tue distance. ‘The bones of the privates were left upon the field, their zraves being marked, go that they may be recovered by friends at any time in the future. in returning, Col, Sheridan’s command took steamer, which had by tins time gotten up theriver, to Post No. at the mouth of the Lattle Horn, AtFort Lincoin, Dukotu Territory, the oodles of the twelve oflicers were left in their rade coflins, under guard, uwaiting the action of the friends of the deceased. The four other allicers were doubt- lesa interred with the privates, us all the bodies were stripped, decomposition set In rapidly, and they could not be recognized. Col. Sheridan expressed some doubts as to the advisability of enlisting volunteers from the 'Terri- , those doing or tive spades tories to put down the Indians in Oregon, The people of that country, , he ald. Were those who nad come to. settle, improve ranches, and make money. They would not enlist, consequently the troops would be. made up of the offscourinys of humanity, like the ‘Buffalo Bills," the **Texus Jaccs,” and others who had oeen driven beyond the pale of civiliza- tion, and who were luating about thit Territory. Ais experience had demonstrated. to him that they Were ayet uf arrant cowards. And when scout were called upon to act a8 imessengera, they were not the ones to volunteer, but the regular soldiers were the ones who did the dangerous work. He said, moreover, that the Indian war was over, and there was but little uge to call out any more troops for that country in his opinion. THE STENCHES. AND THELR ORIGIN. For years a great portion of the City of Chicago has been periodically and thoroughly flooded with Betink strong enough to make the shade of the great B, Franklin look down and weep for suffer- ing humanity, As tothe origi of that smell, or rather amells, for all the putrid odors of the world combined could be no more sickening. no more nauseating, there has existed a diversity of opin- ion. Years ago the saying was ‘' The glue-factory is running.” Later it became ‘‘How the Stock- Yards do smell,” and still later the rendering es- tablishments came in fora great share of alleged responsibility. ‘To-day there are those who would have the public believe that the south fork of the South Branch is alone accountable for the greatest curse that the city has ever had to deal with, or rather endure, for not all the power of the multitudinous branches of the City Govern- ment, nor all the protestations, curses, and threats of a auch-abused public, have been of avail to stop the death-distributing odors in their nocturnal fight.- Nocturnal, because smelt only at night; they are never sinelt in the daytime. Lately the Health Department has undertaken to stop the stenches. ‘The Ieulth authorities have fn years gone by ‘‘tinkered” with the Stock- Yards and rendering-establishment men, and the stenches have gone on just the same. The present Health Department bas seen fit to attempt to conquer the stinks, and dele- gation after. delegation — Aldermen, _ citi- zens, and physicians—have inspected the glue-factory. the slaughtering-houses, the South branch, Healey’s Slough. the rendering establish- ments, and all else that might pusaibly give out a dieagreeable stench, and the stenches are to-day worse than ever. The city began to prod the renderers and elaughterers, and those gentlenien cleaned up their establivimente,- honeyed the Officinie, made a show of introducing machinery, ‘and did'not do it; Dut off their promised Impzove- ment, and the steuches were as bad as ever. A party of medical inspectors will make a previously annoanced-tour of inspection und Und the estab- lshments odorless,—because not in operation, — and hence the only source of the stench mast be the South Branch, which, strange {o say, neverstinks in the daytiine. "That is, it docs not give olf thous sickening odors which krill the sick and wicken the well who cannot escape them. The wind will, in the day-time, blow trom the south, right ncross the South Branch, and the inhabitants of this city will perceive no change in the atmosphere, But at night, when the wind blows from the south, some hidden influence seems to have stirred up the putrid mays of matter in the South Branch, nnd the effect isawful. The laden wir cannot be escaped. It everywhere, It fonts into the bedroom und makes sloep a thinz not to be thought of; envelopes the sick-bed, and the sufferer worries himself into a fever of impatience for the morning to dawn and the hidden influence to ceaze troubling the murky water; the babies are made ‘sick, it” well, and, it _ ailing, made ten-fold worse; the visitor swears that he would not make Chicago hie home forall the city con- tains, the people awear and the stinks go and come with the greatest indifference as to the comfort of those with whom they come incontact. Iig an awful offally smell. “It 13 not necessary to say unything more about it. Everybody in ‘the city has smelled it, everybody has damued it and the unknown source [rem which 1 comes. THE EXPERIENCES OF THE VAST PEW DAYS, the sleepless nighte, und tue hours of nanseation have roused a large portion of the community to a point of anger thut bodes nothi ‘oud ‘to the longevity of the stinks. ‘They demand that the cause of the nuisance shalt be removed. If the South Branch. the Sonth Branch must be cleaned; if the Stock-Yards they must be cleansed; if the Stock-Yards, they must be cieaued; if ‘the glue factory and the rendering establishments, they must be held ac- countable or be burned down. City-Attorney Tut- hill expressed the sentiments of thousands of men, women, and children yesterday, when he ald to reporter of Tue Tutuune that there were men who had stood the stench as long as they could, and would stand no more of it. °*They say itis the South Branch, Way don't it emell in tie day- time? [thas never been smelt then, itis only atnight. They say that the wind from the south blows it over the city. Does the wind never blow from the eouth inthe daytime? Why don't we smell that South Branch then? Because it fs not the South Branch that makey the stink at all. It is ridiculous to say it. Itis the rendering ce~ tablishments, Why, any one with any nose at all could distingush the rendering smell, Those* men who own the establishments walt till sundown, and then commence their work of reudeziny, and the stink floods the city. Why don't we smell them in the daytime? Beeguse thes are not in oueration in the daytime. They wait till night comes on, for they nope in the darkness to cover up thelr nuisances. 1t ia nonsene+e to aay that the renier- ers have machinery to destroy the odors, ‘I'hey might have if they chose, but they have not. The vases go out of thoze tall’ chimneys and full where the wind directs them. It is awful, abomniable; it should uot be tolerated. ‘The idea that a few men, for any amount of money they may make thereby, are to be allowed to till every nook and corner of the town with a stink that poisons the air, disturbs the inhabitunts, and makes life itself a burden, should not be thouzht of. ‘The people ought to burn thoxe places down. ‘They Will, too, unless thev get relfef, und { would be one to help do thesetting on fire. Youdon't know how strongly people are getting to feel on this subject. Last year Justice Boyden and { commenced prosecat- ing those stench-makimg rendcrers, and we stopped the stinks, ‘The eame thing couid be done avain. £ have told the Mayor so, and J have voluntcered to do it if 1 am authorized to undertake the job. 1 announce to you now ay an ofticer of the city that if authorized Lwill undertake the prosecution of those men, and I will venture to say thut tae stinks will ceas This idea taat*the South Brauch fe the curse of this city is sheer nonsense." ‘The opinions above expressed are gaining ground, notwithstanding all that bas been said to the con- tary, and many persons are beginning to think that ‘the Health Department would do well to stop fooling away any more time iu the South Branch for the lost cause, and spendz little time in the honest presecution ‘of the establishments above- mentioned. Onevof the chief of the renderers ac- kuowledged one. night when about. **halt- xeaa over” that he was only too glad to nave eople believe that the South itranch was to blame. it has heen sugested to the proper authorities to station men at all the establishments at nigot, and gee whether or not they operate then, und if they do, whether any stench arises therefrom.

The Grand Jury, too, took a stir at it during the day, and addressed a letter to Dr. D'Wolf, ca!ling on’ him to abate the nuisance at once. ‘Just what authority the Grand Jury has in the matter is nut known, but it acted at the in- stance of ‘Mr. Holden.

The case against Bunker way so plain that he wag held in $1,000 bail, in de- fault of which he went to jail.

FINANCIAL TROUBLES. Suspension of the Butchers’ & Drovers’ Bank, St.- Louis. ‘The Liabilities Foot up Some $750,000 —Claimed Assets, $800,000. ‘A Decided Flurry Among the Small Depositors in All the Banks. ‘The Lumberman’s Insurance Company to Wind Up. Speciat Dispatch to The Tribune. Sr. Lours, Mo., July 14.—The sensation of the day here has been the suspension of the Butchéts’ & Drovers’ Bank,a concern that has for ten years stood A No.1 in financial circles in this ‘and other cities. The announcement was made ‘exclusively this morning in the columns of the St. Louis Yimes, in the shapeof a personal statement by B. M. Chambers, President of the bank, aswell as owner of the paper named. Chambers assigns 3 the principal reason for suspending the run that was made. on the bank a year ago, when $1,000,000 of de- posits were ‘withdrawn, thus crippling the ‘bank to such an extent that it has not been able ‘todo business with profit since until within a recent period, when a reaction set fn, but which ceased when the late bank tailures were an- nounced, The cash and time deposits wilt az- s#revate $650,000, and the remainder of the lia- Dilities will reach $100,000, secured by good stocks. The assets in stock, notes, mortgaze dveds of trust, and real estate ure valued by the bank -at $800,000, though it fg stated that much of the paper is :estimated atits face value andis doubtless placed too high, as there has been a great shrinkage in some of these values. - President Cha:nbers states in his ecard that, besides ;these assets, his wife and two sisters, Mra. E. B. Hudson and Mrs. Commodore ‘Smith, own several hundred thousand dollars worth of real estate, which they are ready and pledge themselves willing to mortgage for the -purpuseof paying any deficit there may be. ‘This realestate, your correspondent finds, is assessed by the State Tax Assessor at $297,300, and the actual cash value may be put consider- ably above that sum. It this pledge is carried :out in good faith the depositors will be paid in ‘dull, and there does not seem to be any doubt mon vusiness mex that they will be so paid. mong a large number of depositors, however, ‘there is considerable uneasiness, which was manifested during the day it a’ manner that ‘showed they were badly scared. ‘Che depositors ‘are made up, to 2 considerable extent, of Cuth- olig Invoring people and mmechailess ote, and this morning at an early hour a crowd of about 100 collected. at the closed doors of ithe bank and gave vent to their ivelings in la n- ‘guage that was plain, Many cursed the priests ‘who had advised them to deposit their savings there, aud two or three Catholic clergymen made their appearance to quiet them. One of the crowd made such a noise about the sus- pension that Futher flenry, a priest. took his certificate of deposit, $200, und paid him the cash for it. The bank officers were inside working upon their books, and at one time sent a gentlemun ‘to talk to the discontented people and explainto them the cause oi the suspension, and endeavor ‘to satisfy them with the assurance that every dollar of’ their money would finally be pold. During the day the crowds came and went, aud up to 4 o'clock 700 or 800 depusitors had visited ‘the bank, though the number present did not at any one time exceed 100, ‘n the meantime, many rumors were flying ‘through the air, aud it was feared that there would be heavy runs on all the banks, and ‘thus a ruinous pauie would be inaugurated. Luckily, however, there were only light runs on three or four banks. The Boatman’s Savings Bank, whose deposits exceed $5,0W),000, had quite a steady stream for several hours of ‘small depositors, keeping open the dours until 7 o'clock to accommodate frightened custoiners. ‘The amount thus paid out only reached $100,000. ‘THE FOURTH NATIONAL had a small run, paying out $25,000. On 'Change there was very little excitement, ‘as the merchants generally do business with banks considered very solid, but out on the strectsand at business places there was an evident panicky feelng, and au expressed conviction that while the big bauks will remain intact, the smaller concerns must inevitably go under. ‘This opinion concerning this latter ‘ciass of banks has been prevalent fur some time, and is based on a new State law passed at the last session of the Ninth Missouri Legis- Jature, which provides that Bubseritlons to bank stock must be fully paid up within a year from the organization of the bank, and that avhen the capital stock has been impaired to the ‘extent of 25 per cent by reason of bad luans or ‘otherwise, the bank must cease to do business unless the stockholders make it good ‘by assessment within sixty days. As it is known that there are two dozen banks whose condition does not tuliill this law, which gues into effect Aug. 1, nu- merous suspensions are considered inevitable; and in fact it is knowp that several of them are shaping their course to this end. Iris believed that there would bave been much greater excitement to-day had the fact of the suspension been given more publicly, and it is feared that on Monday there will be a disas- trousrun. Banks stucks have been consi‘tera- bly affected by the events of the day, and on to- morrow or Monday will not be quieted by the city papers. President Chambers stated to-night that the immediate cause of the suspension was the inability of the Bank to meet the requirements of the new State law, the stock haying depreciated lower than the preserived value, and the business not justify- ing a new assessment of stockholders. The St. Louis Lumbermen and Mecbanics’ In- surance Company, by a resolution of tue Board of Directors passed at a meeting held this morn- ing, concluded to reinsure all risks now in force, and retire from.business. This action is said to be the result of the extreme dull- ness of business at the present time, and the short unexpired term of the charter. The assets of the Company are said to be more than sullicient to mcet all taeir lia- bilities and pay the stockholders in full. There are many bad rumors afloat concerning certain specified banks, but nut of a sufficiently au- thentie nature to justify paul ation. New Yor, July 14.—The creditors of George H. Wolff & Co., waolesale dry-goous dealers, Worth street, and at Cincinnati, are accepting a settlement of 35 cents on’ the dollar,—i cents payable in cash, and the re- mainder in indorsed notes at three, six, nine, und twelve months. _ The tirm owes $500,000.
