He also had £50 of simular paper, and between $30) and 400 in geod money in’ a pocket-book. Tnes- day morning he had a hearing befors Mayor Eawarde, and was sent to jail in default of $2.500 baal.

Taylor, Commissioner cf Indian Affaire, was elected permanent chairman of the board, and A. T.H. White, of the indian Bureau, Secretary. A generai discnssion of | the plans for getting the Indians together was bad, but nothing detinite was determined upon. It is probable, however, tbat an at- tempt will be made to ascemble ‘the northern Cheyennes, Sioux, Blackfeet and other north. ern bositle’ Indians somewhere on the Platte river, pethaps at Fort Larned and the south- ern Cherennes, Arapahoes, aud other south- ern tribes at Fort Sarah or some other point ou the Arkaneas river. It is deemed im- | portant fo meet these Indians at the earliest day possible, but as they only assemble in council during a full moon, the meeting can- not take place until early in September, s tne | next full moon will be im seven days. which will not give the Commissioners time 'o com- | munieste with the different tribes. In the | Meantime the board expect to examine the country with a view tovelect reservations for the hostile tribes, and also witha further yiew to domicilating, if possible, all the tribes west of the Mississippi, hostile and friendly If they do not compivte such selections prior to the Indian meeting, they will continue it afierwaras, being convinced of the nece-sity of making & thorough and personal examina- ton of the territory to be selected. The com- missioners present are Colonel Taylor. Gene- ral Sanborn, Colonel Tappan, General Sher- man, General Harney, and Seuator Henderson. General Terry, at last accounts, was at Red- wing, Minnesota. and will join the commis- sioners somewhere on tbe plains.

The Indian commissioners excluded report- ers at their meeting to-day, and nothing is therefore known of their proceedings. Caicaco, Aug.7.—A special Omana despateh of to-day says @ freight train on the Union Pa- cific railroad was thrown from the track last night Plum Creek tation by the Indians, The engineer. tlreman and brakesman were killed aud the merchandise burned. lt is also re- ported that three or four men at the station were killed. Thie outrage js supposed to have been committed by the Spotted Tails’ band, who bave been feeding at the public expense forsome time The steamer Silver Lake, ar- rived from Fort Benton, was fired into by the Indians forty miles above Fort Rice, and one of the crew wound Another de: patch 6; the Indians attacked the freight train near Pium Creek last night, and tbrew it from the track by piling ties upon the road. They killed and scalped seven train men, andeset tire tothe train, destroying it entirely, and threw the slaughtered bodies into the flames. ComMorTion IN THE UmiTa2p States Court Guanp Jury Roew.—Quire an unusual scene occurred in the grand jury room of the United States Court yesterday morning. When John Minor Boits entered the grand jury room be ‘was approached hy Hawxburst, late presi- dent ha ‘the Hannjcut Convention, who offered Bots his band. Botts indignantly. refused to take ir, and asked him how be could have the face to offer nis band to a gentleman, atter having been a party to-a conspiracy for wecks previous to the Convention, to keep represent- ‘Atives out of it whohadcome to it with proper credentials from their constituents. not only retused to give his hand to Hawxhui but told him he thought it required deci coolness on his partto have the presamption tocfferit. Hawxhurst then addressed a note to the Judge, asking for Jeave of absence, which was refused by Underwood. He ‘conldn’t stand the pressare.” however, and left without leaye, thus incurring the penalty for contempt of cour as well as buying in- curreithe‘odium of hie late associate in he party Richmond Examiner. BALTIMORE AND Potomac Ral_noad.—! meeting will be held at Upper Martboro’, Marylane, on Monday next, the /2th instant., to take such action as may be necessary to have the road pass through that place and a depot located there. 1t te stated in the call for the meeting “that the true meaning and con- struction of the ebarter of this company re- quires that the road should through. or atieastas near as practicable, the village of Upper Marlboro’, and a5 great uncertain exists whether tbe company feally intend so te locate the road, and as in the event of thei net doing so, the town ef ea ain injured, If not enti Tain gree erry county, in attending the ‘courte aud trapsacting Other business, will be put to great costs and inconvenience in reach. ang the village, 1 is poceansry that some ex- preesion of public jon shouid be made on that enbject. ss az-Roston is building some new school: * e of-them will be a large and ele- “In the present critical condition of public affairs the.country cannot afford to dispense with the services of an officer like Edwin M.

Stanton for the timely note of warnirg tbat enabled the representa- trves of the people to meet and defext the dan- gerous schemes of a recreaut President.” The New York //eraldof yesterday says: “In some ciroums‘ances it would seem a mere matter ot propriety and personai dignity thata member of mivistry should retire woe his views of public policy were no longer 10 barmony with the views of his official associ- ates, and, more particularly. when be held a position of direct antagonism with the consti- tional Exeentive, In this view a letier of 1es- ignation should hardly be cailed for, as a man’s own perceptions should carry him ont of office, Bubthis would bea narrow view of the case to take at the present time, and the country muet regretfully acknowledge that this delicacy would be worse than wasted on Mr. Johnson. He would not only misunder- stand this conduct, bat he would dangerously Abuse the position in which such @ cours? would place him; for we ere of opinion tha: the sugeesiion of devolving Mr. Stanton’s @uties on General Grant does not indicate tue President's purpose. This is an idea artfully thrown out to soothe the public, madein view of possible change, to render the people less dissatisfied with ihe notion of geiting Stanton, out ofthe way. The purpose of the statement that Stanton willgive way to Grant is to com- mend the change lo the country, while behind, no doubt, itis reatintention to pnt in Mr. Stanton’s place & man who can be usedas a Feady toolin anew game for the obstrnctioa of the Congressional plan for the restoration ofthe States. 1fit suited Mr. Johnson to ac- cept the Orbinet lett by Mr. Lincoln, sach ac- ceptance was & practical appointment, and cannot be otherwise regarded.” “Data” writes to the Baltimore Svan: tis the purpose of Mr. Johnson to allow the whole matter to remain in abeyance for a few aays, giving time for reflection on the part ot Mr.Stentou and the friends who advise him as to the course he shonld pursue. If in two or three days he shal! stil! persist in the refusal to resign, the President will suspend him, by giving bim notice, substantially, tnat he is thereby suspended from the furtuer execution of the functions of the office of Secretary of War, and that the reasons for this suspension will besubmitted to the Senate at the next ses- sion of Congress. “The sunject was fully discussed in Cabinet yesterday, and the course above indicated was Unanimously approved as being within the third secon of the tenure of oflice law. The Cabinet was nearly unanimous ir tae opinion that the first section of the law gives Mr. Johnson the power to remove Mr. Stanton, ‘who was uever regularly appolated by Mr. Johnson and confirmed us bis appointee by the Senate. “This point will be discussed again in the Cabinet on Friday next. The President to-day ordered tbat no communication ve held with Mr. Stanton as Secretary of War. “There was no truth in the paragraph at- nouncing that Gen. Roussean has been selecied as the successor ot Gen. Sheridan. Gen. Rous- sean is called here trom New Orleans upon a dispatch from Mr. Seward. for the purpose of conferring with the Russian commissioner sent here to formally deliver possession of the recently acquired territory. Gen. Rousseau's command will include the territory when re- erived by our Government, and as no appro- priation 1s made for expenses for a commis- sioner On our purt to take possession, it 1s ad- visea by Secretary Seward that probably it would be best io empower a military officer, already under salary. to actas commissioner in behalf of the Untied States.

Sheridan. The successor of the latter will un- doubtedly be named in four or five days.” The Wasbington correspondent of the New York TriLune says that Judge Bond, cf Balti- more. was among the visitors received by Mr. Stanton on Tuesday. It has the following in regard to the President's future inteutions: ~ Under the Civil Tenure bill Mr. Johnson does not jee! fully satisfied that hecan remove Mr. Stanton, becante of tne phraseology quoted here, “shall hold their offices respectively dur- | ing the term of office of the President by Wwhotn they Lave been appointed,” but he feels satis- fied tbat he can suspend ir. Stanton, and pro- hibit him from exercising the duties of War Minister. This later point was submitted to the Cabinet, and they greed that the President could so suspend, Mr. Jonnson will, there- fore, in & day or two, notify Mr. Stanton that be will not hold any turther relations with him, and that be canuot be admitted to Cabi- net meetings. It may be here stated that last fall Mr Johnson contemplated the very sam-+ sction in Mr. Stanton’s case that he has takeu now. and he called General Sherman to Wash- ingion to take his place, The announcement of thie in the newspapers brought Messrs. Raymond aud Weed down here, who plead so earnestly for Mr Stanton’s retention that the President consented to let him remain.” The New York Times of yesterday morning says: “The anxiety of the President to rid nis Cabinet of Mr. Stanton’s presence is intel- ligible, if not pratseworthy. Mr. Stanton must have been a sharp thorn in the way trom the moment he resolved to embarrass, if not defeat the Reconstruction law, that permits of no balf-way work: it must be carried ont to the end or it subsides into absurdity. ‘Tne country bas been notified, in bis behalf, that he will tolerate no official will that dares to conflict with hisown, The District Comman- dere he insists shall obey bis instructions, aud the Cabinsi he intends to make a unit in their support. Ajl these tntentions and require. ments, these removals and dismissals, are features of poiicy as against the policy of Uon- gress. They are ail parte of bis pian for stay- ing the work of Uongress and that of the measures of reconstruction. {t happens al- ways that the ire of the President falls upon ose whose services have commended them st strongly tothe tavorof the comntry. Sheri n is to be removed by way of punistiment for rT bis devotion to the task with which he has been intrusted. The pretence that the insubor- dinate tone of despatches has aught to do with his removal is too puerile to deceive Itisa poor prétext, invented in the Jast hour, to pal- Hate the act contemplued ty Mr. Johnson. The people know better. They know ‘hat the ‘sip of Sheridan, in the eyes of the Execative, ig his uncompriting condact toward disloyal officials like Monroe, and ricky, unworthy offi cials ike Wells, aud his unilinching determi- nation to give full effect to the law. Precisely so Will tt be in regerd to Mr. Stanton. The magniinde of bis services during the war earned tor bim the gratitude of Union men, and only bis adherence to the policy of Uongress provokes the wrath of the President. The effect of the course prescribed to Mr. Johnson will be to convince the country of bis unre. leuting bostility to the Reconstruction law. His Juzewarmnees in its support has always deen al eged, but hisfartitude has changed from that ot calmness to one of flery, Saviglding op- Position. He refuses to actept nd obey the willof Congress. He demands that his will shall be the supreme law. And he proposes to set aside Secretaries and Generals who stand in bis path. Sofar ae official positions are con- cerned, Stanton. Sheridan and all who shar their fate wil] thus be made to Sppear martyrs in the cause of loyal reconstruction, Mr. Jobnson may thank only Bimself if b+ be ar- yaigned and treated as ite most malignant enemy: The Philadetphia Evening Telegraphof Wed nesday says “He cannot yet be spared.

Dear Sir:—Numerous duties Ray: delayed reply to your tavor of Jnmiy 23ih. When any constderable number of citics or towns shall order the repor's of storms which You suggest. they making their own arrange- Mmeuts for ‘ring ‘signal guns accarding to the plan proposed by yon, 1 will take maasures to see these supplied. This company is always Teagy to serve any grea: public good in any way consistent with iis business and purposes, Very respectfully. WILLIAN ORTON. President. The storm signals, by meansof the telezraph and cannon. are intended mainty for the bene- tit of agricuitnreand commerce: to give warn- 10g 0 Approaching siorms during Darvest jn time for farmers co get their grain or Ray un- der cover, or in asituation toshut ont the rain; and atthe same time to giye warning to ves- sels on ovr numerous bays, Tiversand lakes, in time to seek places of safety or prepare for the coming storm, The harvest having nearly passed, it is therefore proposed that the storm signals be tested as to their benefit to commerce, and it Proved sattefactory tbe system can then be ex- tended over the whole country in time for the Darvest next year. The plan is as follows: When a storm com- mences in any part of the country and is traveling towards any city having arrange- ments to fire signal guns, the first telegraph station over whica it passes will immediately send the news to such city, stating the kindof storm that is approaching. Three guus are to be fired as a warming of a coming storm; at Intervals ot one minnte ita hurricane, severe gale, or destructive stom is approaching: at intervale of three minutes if itis an ordinary storm and is moving rapidly, and xt inwer- vals of five minutes if it is moving slowly. As a good sized cannon can be heard distinct- ly from fifteen to twenty miles in all direc- tions, or over ‘@ space of from thirty to forty miles square, by firing signal guns at the pripcipal cities and towns situsted on bays, Tivers, or Jakes, vessels of all kinds will (has be warned in time to seek places of safety or prepure tor the coming storm. The Western Union Telegraph Company, with limes extending over the entire Union, having offered to furnish telegrams of ap- proaching storms as soon as any considerable number of cities and towns shall so order, it is therefore proposed to the boards of tradeor city authorities of all seaports situated on bays, Tivers or lakee, that they make arrangements at once to fire signal guns to give warning of approaching storms, by which mean: it 18 be- lieved tbat millions of dollars in ships and cargoes, and also numerous fives, will be saved. Where a fort, navy yard, arsenal or barracks isnear a city or port, the War or Navy De- Farment will doubtless order signal guns to fired upon solicitation from its city autuor- ities or board of trade. If the firing bere is at the Navy Yard, the signals may be repeated at Fort Washington, and xt several seaports signals may be repeated at distant ports, In this way these simple storm signals may be tried at a trifling cost, if the press at will publieh thisarticle, and several ci act in concert.
