Howar counsel, declared that he had not in any wa; peor 4 or indirectly, instigated the charges made by Mr. Wood; that the first he knew of them was their publication in the bewspapers, and that he had never had any formal or infor- mal meeting, at his residence or elsewhere, to frame the ‘ges or furnish the evidence to support the same. Gen. —— son of the witness, testifies to the same effect, TRooPs ORDERED West.—The following or- ders have just been issued trom the War De- partment: The 17th Infantry will proceed, with all des- patch, to Sioux city, low: ined thence to the General bcm - ie partment of men’ aty.

Also, that if the laws of any State or Territory shall require any act to be done as a prerequisite to voting, it shall be the duty of the ofticers of the law m said State or Territory to givé equal opportunity to all to perform such prerequaite, and any such official failing so to do shall forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred dollars to th: person aggrieved thereby, to be recovered by an action in the cage, and in case of conviction shall be tined inthe above amount and be im- prisoned not less or more than one year.

The President is authorized to employ the land or naval forces of the United Stat the militia, to prevent the violalion and the due execution of the provisions of thi THE AnseNT MEMBERS—A LIVELY ScENE.. Immediately atter the call of the House to-day for bills, resolutions, &c., under the rule, the Speaker directed the Sergeant-at-Arms to bring to the bar of the House the thirty-five members who were absent on Friday night when a call of the House was made, warrants having been served upon them for being absent at that time without permission. The galleries were well filled in expecta- tion of the usual fun on such occasions. Mr. Schenck, however,who is too anxious about his Tariff bill to waste time, offered a resolution imposing a fine of $10 upon the absentees, ex- Se such as desired to ofter excuses, and that all further proceedings be suspended under the all, except to hear excuses of members. This resolution was adopted, and of course the ab- sentecs began to put in the familiar pleas of ill health, &c. Some sly fun was poked at Mr. bawes, chairman of the Committee on Appro- priations, who was absent on Thursday night when the Naval Appropriation bill was under consideration. Mr. Morgan, of Uhio, declared that he had always been attentive, but on Friday even- img was sick in his bed. He did not ask to be excused, but desired to say that those waking the greatest clamor about this mat- tr were the very ones who bad been most frequently out of their seats. Mr. Clarke, 0 Kansas, thought this call a spasmodic effort of a ‘certain few to make it appear that the most attentive members of the House were the most frequently ab- sent. Mr. Lynda wanted to know if Mr. Schenck could be excused for his absence on Thursday, when be went to Mount Vernon with the Ohio La Mr. L. proceeded to ad- dress the House in relation to his absence on Friday evening. wien he was interrupted by Mr. Schenck, who i:turmed Mfr. Lynch that if he (Mr S.) had been fined he would have paid t, and not whined about it. Mr. Lyneh and others justified their absence by the fact that Messrs. Schenck and Dawes were both absent on Thursday, which frequently broaght those gentlemen to their feet when the laugh was turned upon them. INDIANS ON THE WaR PATH.—Dispatches received here confirm the advices hereto- fore at hand, which indicate that the 1n- dians in Dacotah are on the war path in varnest. A telegram says that they have ap- peared near some of the forts in that territory with fresh paint on and dancing the war dance. At one point they were estimated at two or three thousand, and were bent on hostilities. In view of a threatened Vonage Indian war, Gen Sher- man has ordered all the available military for- ces to the frontier to protect the white settlers. Orders were sent Saturday to all the troops in Kentucky to move to the western front without delay, and regiments will be sent from other es from which they can be spared. The itary authorities here fear that an Indian war is bear at hand. TuxE Chicago Post says Sypher is naught to Congress.

An attempted explanation was placed in the hands of every newspaper correspondent in the city, last night, and the report went broadcast that the explanation was eempep an & to the committee.

In the Hoffman mine a number of green hands were employed, some of them having had little ex- ce in mining bituminous coal. While at work in the mine one of the men accidentally struck a prop and knocked it out, when the roof tumbled down, completely shutting in the whole party at work in that apartment. The men at once called for assistance, when a number from other parts of the mine came to their reliet. ‘These, however, worked with more zeal than uence of which other masses tumbled down upon them, six men were more or less bruised under the mass ot eine ere ea reek, all of whom were: usly. taken out, tga men were all eventually and the “ome paid or le after the Sist of Decem- junction for five Cass, at the at ‘of which time the jucation is to be argued.

The court-room is crowded, with sexes. ‘The first witness was Reuben A. Vance, out- door physician of Bellevue hospital. and testi- tied that he officially examined the prisoner's condition, and tound him threatened with con- gestion of the brain. The witness further testi fied that he believed the prisoner insane when he fired the pistol at Richardson. Mr. Graham, at this point, arose and said that some city papers had reproduced an articie trom some Western Ts which stated that he (Graham) had gone to the District Attorney and disavowed his conduct in the trial with regard to Mrs. Calhoun. He wished to state that neither to the District Attorney nor toany other human being did he make such a statement. ‘The District Attorney corroborated Mr. Gra- ham’s statement.

He sub- mits to a vote only its liberal transformation. is to vote for liberty. The revo- tutionary party is secretly attacking the na- tional sovereignty, and misrepresenting the respect which the Emperor pays to that sover- vignty in consulting the people. They are not true friends of liberty, but in’ spite of these, the masses will march in our ranks. Can they ignore the fact that to abstain from voting or to vote ‘‘ no” will be to strengthen those who only combat the transformation of the Empire, in order that they may destroy it, and with it the political and — social organizations to which France owes her greatness? In the mame of public peace and liberty; in the name the Emperor, we demand of you all, ‘our de- voted colaborers,” to unite your efforts with ours. It is to the citizens we address ourselves, not as ordering but as offering patriotic counsel” Our object is to assure to our country a tranquil future to the end, that on the throne as in the humblest dwelling, the son may succeed the tather in peace and quiet.” a Another “ City ef Beston” Hoax.
