The Attorney General on Saturday tele- graphed to Governor Ame: as follows: “In my dispatch of yesterday morning, in which I mentioned that the troops were neld in .eadiness, and asked whether the situa- tion of the insurre:tion was such against the siate authori.jies that the state government and the aid of loyal citizens could not put it down, I have no reply.” To isis no repose came until between 11 and 12 o’clocx Saturday night, when the gov- eroor sent to the Attorney General a long ielegram giving anexplanation that it was a yuestion Of race, aud he still thought there was necessity for troops. The Attorney Gen- eral then made a full report, sending all the te egrams and communications by a special n essenger to the President. Up tol ociock to-day the Attorney Gen- «ralt ad received no reply from the President © the communications sent over to Long Branch last night by special messenger; consequently there is no change in the situ- ation. The Attorney General this morning votified Gov. Ames by telegraph that the entire correspondence had been submitted to the President for final decision. The Attor- a4 General also telegraphed this morning to U.S. Distriet Attorney Dedrick, at Jack. son, askiog for full information from his standpoint relative to the alleged troubles. A DIVIDED PARTY. The fact is that the republican party in Mississippi is divided into two factions, bit- terly hostile to each other. One faction is led by Goy. Ames and his lieutenant governor, Davis, (coloret,) and demani federal inter- veution, declaring that the state militia can- not enforce obedience to the laws and pro- tect hfe and property. The other taction is led by Senator Alcorn, ex-Senator Pease and other prominent republicans, and take the opposi.e view, deprecating federal interfer- ence. and declaring that the state authorities can, if So disposed, control all local disor- ders, ete. This greatly embarrasses the sita- ation, and there seems to be no doubt but what the President will return to Washing- ton at once and hold a special meeting of the cabinet, for the purpose of reaching a final decision In the case. THE MONTREAL EXCITEMENT. — Guards are still ou duty at tne Protestant cemetery in Montreal, ‘protecting the remains of Guibord, but Bishop Bourget of the diocese has published a letter, in which he says that bad Guibord’s body been buried in the cemetery in defiance of the laws of the Church, the place where it lay should be in- terdicted and looked npon henceforth as a curse spot, to be held in execration. If fresh efforts be made to introduce the body iato consecrated precincts, he requests all Catho- lies to remain quiet, like true children of the Church and loyal subjects of her Majesty the Queen, begging her Majesty to enjoin that the rights possessed by the Catholics of Mo.- treal are not to be denied, and they are not to be molested in the exercise of their holy faith. Petiticns are in circulation in the diocese of Montreal Praying the Queen to revise the decision of the Privy Council in the Guibord affair. A number of volunteers on guard at the Protestant c2metery came on duty drunk on Friday night, and the Ser- geaat in charge of the regulars publicly re- quested them uot to come to his assistance any longer. Over 5,000 people visited the two cemeteries at Montreal, Canada, yester- day—the vault in the Protestant cemetery, in which are Guibord’s bones, and his tended grave in the Catholic barryinz ground. Last ever ing 200 hardened charac- ters were seen climbing the mountain st:ps. This movement was considered suspicious, and a double picket was placed oa the ave- nue leading to the vault. TERRIB. Lives Lost—A terrible disaster occurred on Lake Michigan early Friday morning last. The propeller Equinox, from Saginaw for Chicago, with a cargo of salt, and towing the schooner Emma A. Mayes, loaded with lam- ber, was overtaken by the storm Friday morning, near Point-au Sable, one hundred and eighty miles north of Chicago. Captain Woodworth, of the Equinox, came to the stern of the propetler at thai time snd called out to cut the lines. This was done, and the proneller eareened and sunk in a few min- utes.

What the provocation was that in- duced the homicide we do not recollect, but upon investigation by the authorities the act was pronounced justifiable. Last Satu-day @ younger brother of the Stey who killed the Indian, a boy of sixteen years, drove a team into Woodford’s on busitiess. "Several Indians espied and instantly attacked him, one seizing the horses by the bits and ealling upon his companions to shoot the driver. which they attempted to do, leveling a rif upon him. Fortunately the action of the red- skins was quickly discovered by eltizens near by, who rushéd to the rescue of the im- rilled boy and readily disarmed the [u- ans, thus saving his life. Immediately they made another attempt to shoot with a shot gup, but were again prevented from ac complisbing their purpose.—Viryinia (Nev.) Enterprise. POLITICAL Nores.—The Albany Argus is @ very amusing paper—when it doesn’t try. its latest ts the assertion that the nominve for controller of New York, Gen. oe, “bas not the physical vigor to stand guard over the cash-box.” ----Pounded {ice in a towel is what the Cincinnati Commercial recommends to Judge Kelley, as the likeliest thing to relieve his fevered brain.

ANOTHER ABORTION.—Margaret Bar- , Of 105 West Eighteenth street, New ‘precarious condition Tov; » Was found in a The Indian Frauds Investigation. PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY. The commission to investigate the charges Of fraud in connection with the management Of the Red Cloud agency met agaia at the Ebbitt House this morning to continue the examination of witnesses. Professor Marsh Was present, but none of the witnesses in be- half of the prosecution. It was expect" i that Mr. Bosier. "he beef contractor, would be on hand to testify, but _as he was ‘not the com- mission passed the t me until a ter 12 o'clock in informally discussing matiers pertaining to the investigation. Professor Me rsh de- Sires the personal attendance of several other wilne:ses, among them Mr. Brevier, now in Michigan, who was telezraphed for this moring. Mr. Brevier — notifiel the commission a day or two ago that he had already forwanti a statement, but Profesor Marsh deems his , oinag before the commis:ion desirable. any of thé persons indicated by Prof. Marsh have already been examined, But four or five cannot be found, their present where- abouts being unknown. Gov. Fleicher, chai man of the commission, stated that on ac- count of [bane | business engagements it would be imapossible for him to serve on the commission lo.ger than this week. It waz finally agreed that no more witnesses would be examined unless their names are pre- sented sometime to-day. Mr. Samuel Walker came in at half-past eleven, and asked to be excused from testifying further until six o’cloek this evening, and his request was granted. The Commissioner of Indian Aflairs, who, it is understood, will read a written statement in reply to the allegations against his mismanagamentot Indian affairs when the prosecution closes, came in about half- past eleven o'clock. A BEEF CONTRACTOR'S TESTIMONY. Ata little before 12 o’clock Mr. Bosler, beef contractor for the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies, came in and was examined. He was asked for an exhibit of his receipts and expenditures in regard to cattle fur- nished for the years 147. 5, and replied that he ——— the commission srch a state- ment for their own private information, but he would object to giving such information to the public for business reasons. He did not want competitors to profit by the result of fifteen years’ experience. He then sub- mitted an estimate of beef delivered for the fi.cal year ending June 30, 1875. The cattle delivered cost him $551,851, and he made a net profit of about $130,000. He also gave figures showing the number of cattle de- livered at the different agencies. The cattle purchased during the year numbered 39,826, and the number delivered about 33,000, the other one thousand being stolen by the In- dans or frozen to death. Prof. Atherton called the attention of the chairman to the fact that the commission had discovered a number of apparent dis- crepancies in the number of cattle receipted for and the number actually delivered. Mr. Harris asked Mr. Bosler to furnish a detailed statement of his transactions with the agencies for 1873, with the exact number paid for and the exact number delivered. Mr. Bosler said he would do so,and that every head of cattle receipted for was ac- tually delivered. Mr. Bosler was questioned at considerable length in regard to the weight of cattle de- livered, manner of keeping cattle through the winter, &c., but nothing important was elicited. He sometimes bid rather high for beef contracts, because he had but few com- titors. There are few competitors, first, because it takes a large amount of capital to fulfil contracts; and, second, vase there are but few who have had any experience in neh busine.s. He always paid cash on de- livery. He never paid any money to prevent others from bidding, and never heard of a lowest bidder being bought off. Mr. Eosler said he would like to ask Prof. Marsha single question, which ‘‘yes” or “no” would answer, but the Professor said he would prefer to wait unt. he (the Professor) is examined, when the query might he pro- pounded. Mr. Fletcher gain remarked that he would remain in the commission only this week. Commissioner Smith said he hop-d he would have time given him to testify, and Gov. Fletcher said he would be hear to- morrow, ie Commissioner again said he did not Gesire to be heard until Professor Marsh got ibrough. DR. C. C. COX, OF THIS CITY, who was one of the special commission ap- pointed in 1874 to negotiate with the Sioux relative to the surrender of their hunting privilege in Nebraska, was called and ex- amined by Professor Marsh. He saw no mismanagement while in the Sioux country, but did not investigate. Samples of flour were shown bira by Colonel Long, Unit-4 Staies army, at Cheyenne, which was dark in color. Was not an expert in flour; and might have remarked its dark color to Col. Long. Could not have said anything else because he was no judge of flour. 20n after he got home Secretary Delano wrote him asking him if he had’ seen anytuing wrong in the matter of rations,and he re- plied that he had not; in his letter he spoke of the samples of flour showa him by Col. Long, which Long pronounced unfit for u He spent an hour or so at Yellow Hair’ camp and took tea with him. They had sbort cake which was rather dark and heavy but still tasted good, as he was very hungry and tired. He was in a delicate state of health at the time and it produced no in- jurious result that he could discover. He would regard such short cake a3 inferior if found on @& table in Washington. He asked if he might give his impvessions of what he saw tn the Indian country, and per- mission being given. said he never heard an Indian complain of the quality of article: furnished him. There was great complaint in council, and no Indian could sg; kK with- out arraigning the Great Father for violating treaties, &c., &c. The Indiaus were chronic cumblers, and in bis apinion a little less indulgence and a@ little more authority by the government would be better both for the Indians and the government. THe REFORM NOMINATIONS IN MARY- LAND.—The slate as now made up for the in- dependent reform nominations for state offi- cers in Maryland contains the names of Hon. J. Morrison Harris for governor, Hon. 8. Teackle Wallis for attorney general, and Colonel Edward Wiikins for controller.’ Mr. Harris was visited on Saturday by the com- mittees representing the citizens’ party, the republicans and the merchants, and’ the tender of the nomination made. Not being prepared to make an immediate decisioa he requested time to consider the subject. Mr. Wallis has been addressed by letter in regard to the attorney generalship, but he is out of town and no reply has yet been received from him. The Baltimore American says:— The conferenees between the committees as above stated, re) ting the various ele- ments in oppostt jon to the rings, continue to be harmonious, and give promise of united and amicable action in the campaign.

The following interesting dispatch was re- ceived at the Navy department this morning: FLAGSHIP TENNESSEE, SvEz, Eaypr, Aug. 20, 1875. Hom. Geo. M. Robeson, Secretary of the Navy, Washington. Sir: Avaiiing myself of thestay of theship At this port I went to Cairo, accompanied by Lieut. Commander White, Lieut. Lyons and Midshipman Winsiow, of my staff, and other Officers of the ship, by a special train, fur- nished for the occasion by the government of Egypt. His highnews the Knedive had e— returned to Cairo from Alexandria, and was very happy to improve the occasion to reqvest through Mr. Beardsley, consul gen- eral for the United States in Egypt, the hon- or of a presentation. His highne:3 appoint- ed the following, and accompanied by the consul general, Chief Engineey Ziegler, Lieut. Commander Whi:e, Lieut. Lyon and Midshipman Winslow, I had the very great gratification of an interview with the Khe- ive of more than an hour’s duration. His highness’ conversation was exceedingly frank, and of course most intelligent, aud [ retired from his presence with very favor- able impressions of his good sense, and of bis excelient capacity as a ruler of this im Portant state. it may be considered as fortu- nate for Ezypt that that country has now upon the throne & ruler of his highness’ dis- tinguished ability and force of character. We returned by special train yesterday p.m. Iam, very respectfully, your obedient ser vant, M. REYNOLDS, Rear Admiral commanding U.S. naval force on the Asiatic squadron. THROUGH THE SUEZ CANAL. In adispaich dated at Suez, August 15th, Admiral Reynolds announces’ ihe safe pas. sage of the Tenne‘see through the canal without meeting with the least accident or obstruction. The ship had her breakers fu li of coal, and her draughtof water was 20 feet 6 inches forward and 22 feet 3 Inches aft. A speed .rom four to five knots was maintained while in the canal, and the ship’s usual speed while passing through the “Bitter Lake.” 25 tons of coal were expended from the anchorage at Port Sald to that at Suez. The ship was vuder weigh nineteen hours and seventeen minutes including stoppages. Every courtesy was extended to the Admiral and officers of the ship by the canal eom- os officers at Port Said, Oshmailia, and uez, for which Admiral Reynolds returned thanks to the superior director of the canal through Consul General Beardsley. frome nsckicteicbewfaitwondenetif BISMARCK’S Boys.—A Berlin correspon- dent thus deais with the scions of the Prus- sian Prince: Tne two Bismarck boys are, perhaps, the most vicious of their kind, aud yet in the towns where they have played their most scandalous pranks they arespoken of with a sort of admiring awe. Count Her- bert, who has been in during his winter mi: sion, bas introduced more than Prassian di plomacy into the by no means grateful Ba- varian court. There is no end to the scandals elreuiated concerning that young gentleman, the handredth part of whi would serve to banish him from self-respecting communi- ties in any other country. His younger brother, Count John, is tou yor ing to conceal his excesses, and too blunt even if he were not. He is of the impression that his father holds Germany in fee simple, and if that doesn’t give him the right todo ashe pleases, What can? So he does as he pleases. and he pleases to do exactly what the world in gen- eral holds to be low and very debasing. His baunts are more notorious for democratic viciousness than aristocratic seclusion. His habitual state is not one to recommend him to polite attention, and if the face is, as Mr. Beecher searchingly says in some of his char acteristic analyses, aa index of man’s raling passions, Count John would be about the | iene to bringon a Brooklyn witness-stand. lerbert is rather fine looking as his race go, but Jobn is dump, blear of eye, scorbutic of visage, and coarse of manner generally. The pair give the prince, their father, unceasing anxiety, wot only for their notorious profliga- cy, but for the difficulty be finds in Keeping them on te.ms with their army and diplo- Maile associates. He has deen striving to marry Count Herbert to a pretty countess of the Protestant rty, but Iam told the father refuses, The Consent of the lady is never asked in affairs of this kind. Sap RESULTS OF RELIGIOUS EXCITE- MENT.—One of the sad results of excessive re- ligious excitement was witnessed last eve- ping on the north side. A young girl, living on East Indiana street, near Clark, haa de- Voted herself to religious exercises and read- ing until she had become partially demented, and, in a ferver of which she deemed pious zeal, she concluded that to the pure in heart all things were pure, and that therefore clothes were o.ly a hindrance and entirely superfluous to the righteous. Thus believ- ing, she removed every article of raiment srom her person and ran out on the street. Before her absence trom the house had beea noticed shehad male her way to Clark street and passed rapidly along that thoroughfare for two or three blocks before anybody could muster up courage enougp to stop her. It is hardly necessary to say that she was the ob- se.ved of all whom she met. At length a man with more moral stamina than the rest Stopped her and wanted ber togo home. She refused to do this, however, and also “eclined to put on a shaw! offered her by a lady, say- ing to the latter that she would not be defiled by the touch of garments, and that only the sinful needed covering; for herself she was clothcd with righteousness, and needed no other habiliments than those of the word. Although this may Lave been convincing to the girl, it was not to a policeman whocame up, and he accordingly took her in charge and returned her to uér home.—Chicago Tri- dune. —$$___._- MURDER OF A CHILD KY ITS FATHER.— James Le Vance, a negro was brought op from Hammond on last Sunday, charged with the murder of his own child, @ little girl only 7 years of age, It is said he took a board about 3 or 4 inches wide and an inch thick, and beat the child until it was almost dea: He then tied its hands behind it, tied a sage around its ankles, and, taking it to a we reversed it, and let itdown into the well head foremost, and dipped it up and down ubtil his murderous propensities were fully satisfied.
