THE RED CLOUD COMMISSION will proba- bly make two reports—a majority one signed by all the members except Mr. Faulkner, and a minority report signed by the latter gentleman. The former will admit irregu- larities at the Red Cloud ageney, but will . say that no evidence was addveed to prove that either the Commissioner of Indian Af- The Great New York & New Orleans | fairsor the Secretary of the Iuterior were cognizant of such irregularities. The mi- . nority report will sustain in the main the cbarges of fraud against Agent Saville, and will sharply criticise the Commissioner and the Secretary for their indifference to the complaints against the agency in question. Tue INDIAN COUNCIL IN THE BLACK HILLs.—A dispateh from the Red Cloud agency says that the Black Hills commission have finally resolvet to hold @ council! at the mouth of the White Clay creek, 6 miles northeast of the Red Cloud agency, and all the Indians were moving in that direction. t is intimated that twenty-five thousand Indians will attend the council, and at pres- ent their camps extend forty miles along the White Earth river. The Indians are said to be perfectly willing to sell the Black Hills country at almost any price,as they are convinced that the whites will bam bi the ec untry anyway. The commission do not propose to offer the Indians much monty, but will provide for their maintenance for a long term of years, which arrangement wil! be preferable for all parties, as the govern- ment must support them in any case. AN ALASKA SILVER MINE APPROPRIAT- ED BY C4NADIANS.—The collector of the port at Sitka, Alaska, recently made a re- port to the Treasury department thata silver mine bas been discovered in Alaska by a practical miner, whose report of the charac ter and location of the mine was forwarde! to the departmer:t. Since furnishing this in- formation to the department, the collector has reported that a party of Canadians, hear- ing of the existence of the mine, have locat -i ard cstablished a colony in its vicinity, rnd claiming that it is upon British territory, bave applied to the Dominion authorities .or *n act of in¢ .poration, to enter upon its de- velopment. The collector is positive that the mine, whieh is represented to be immensely valuable, is beyond the western boundary of British Ameri¢a, and clearly within the ter- 1 tory of the United !.tates.

They a.ain roq the publication of the Attorney C letter to Governor Ames, and were that the publication was dependent upon the views of the President thercon. The Attor- ney General bad already teleg.aphed to the President for his directiou, and at noon a telegram was received consenting to its pub- lication. THE LETTER. The follow ing is the letter referred to: DEPARTMENT oF Justice, WASHINGTON Sept. 14, 1575. To Governor Ames, Jackson, Miss : This hour I ve had dispatehes from the the President. Iean best convey to you his ideas by extracts from his dispateh :-—“The whole public are tired out with these annual autumnal outb.eaks in the south, and the great majority are ready now to’ condemn any interference on the fee of the govern- ment. I heartily wish that peace and good order mav be restored without issuing the preclamation; buat if it ts not the proclama- lion imust be issued, and if it ts, I shall instruct the commander of the forces to have no chit’ play. If there is @ necessity for mil- itary interference, there is justice in such interference as to deter evildoers.” * * * “I would suggest the sending of a dispaten (or better by private messenger) to Governor Ames. urging him to strengthen his own re- sources in restoring order, before he receives government aid. He might poceye the assist- ance offered by the citizens of Jackson and elsewhere.” * * “ Governor Aines and bis advisers can be made J syimen dl secure. AS many of the troops now in Mississippi as he deems necessary may be sent to Jackson. If he is betrayed by those who offer assist- ance, he will be in a position to defeat their ends and punish them,” You see by this the mind of the President With which I and every member of the Cab- inet, who has been consulted, are in full ac- cord. You see the difficulties; you see the responsibilities which you assume. @ cannot understaad why you do not Strengthen yourself in the way the Presi- dent suggests, nor do we see why you do not call the legislature together and obtain from them whatever powers and money and arms you need. The constitution is explicit that the executive of the state can call upon the President for aid in suppressing “domestic violence” only “when the legislature cannot be convened,” and the law expressly says: ‘In case of an insu: rection in any stale ajainst the government thereof, it shall be lawful for the President, on application of the leyistalure of such state, or the executive, when the legislature cannot be convened, to call,” &e. It is the plain meaning of the constitution and the laws, when taken together, that the executive of the state may call upon the President for military ald to quell «domestic violence” only in case ofan insurrection in any state against the government thereot, when the legislature cannot be called tw- gether. You make no suggestion even that there is any insurreetion against the governmen’ of the state, or that the legislature would not support you in auy measures you might pro- pose to preserve the public order. I suggest ‘bat you take all lawful means and all need- ed measures to preserve the by the forces in your own state, and let the couna gy see that the citizens of Mississippi, who are largely fe-vorable to good order, and who are largely republican, have the courage and the mabhood to fight for their rights and to de- stroy the bloody ruffians who murder the innocent and unoffending freedmen. Every- thing is in readiness; be careful to — yourself strictly within the constitution and the laws, and {f there is such resistance to your state autnorities as you cannot by all the means a’ your command suppress, the President will swiftly aid you in crushing these lawless traitors to human rights. Telegraph me on receipt of this, and state he reagent what you need. I am, very respectfully, yours, SDWARDS PIEKREPONT, Attorney General. The Fast Mail Trains, DISPATCHES TO THE POSTMASTER GEN ERAL.

He reganis Mr. Rosler asa thoroughly honest man, and has no doubt that he fulfilled his contract to the letter. TO-DAY’S PROCEEDINGS. The Commiss on resumed their session at about 1 o'clock this afterncon, when Indian Commissioner Smith was examined at some length in relation tothe general conductof Indian affairs. In answer to questions by Gov. Fletcher, chairman, Commissioner Smith detailed the manner tn whicli faciaa agents are nominat:d by the different re- ligious denominations. Seeretary Cox adopted this mode of appointments, and re- quested Mr. Vincent Collyer, secretary of the board of Indian Commissioners, to ar- rangethe apportionment. In answer to the question why the Sieux agencies are located so far away from the Missouri river and the railroad, the commissioner said the Indians would not go there, but insisted on going inland, and the department had no power to coerce them. . Fletcher inquired as to the necessity of parleying with the Indians instead of compelling them to do as the government desired, and the Commis- sioner said at the time the’ present agencies were located the government had not suffi- cient troops in that country to enforce obe- dience; the location of the agencies was a matter of ex iency. ,In answer to the question whether, in his opinion, the goy- ernment ought not to make a formidable dis- play of troops in the Sioux country, the -ommissioner replied in the affirmative; if such a display was made they might compel the Indians to change their agencies. Gov. lege little § the Sioux agencies could not be consolidated on the Missouri river or on the railroad, and whether, if this were done, there wonld not be a great saving in the expense of transporting supplies, and Commissioner Smith said there would un- doubtedly be a great saving, but there was a lack of firewood there, and no ¢otton timber for the ponies. He explained that the ponies Subsist In a measure on this kind of wood. ee Affairs in Montgomery Co., Md. THE LAYING OF A CORNER STONE, ET: SILVER SPRING, MD., Sept. 14, 1875. Editor Star: The corner stone of St. Mark's Chapel, near Colesville, Montgomery Co., Md., Silver Spring Parish, Rev. James B. Avirett, Rector, was laid at 12 m.,on Tnes- day, 1th of September, by Rt. Rev. Wm. Pinkney, D. D. -L. D.. the assistant Bishop of the Diocese of Maryland. There were [peer and assisting in the imposing and autifal ceremonies the Rector and Rev."Mr. Phillips, tne Rector of the church at Belts- ville. The Bishop, after a short address by Rev. Mr. Phillips, introduced the Rector, who excuced iimseif, remarking that the Re le present hoped for an address from the ishop. In this suggestion the Bishop ac- quiesced, and with deep emotion referred to bis own ‘relations some twenty-five years ago with the people then living in this sec- Uon of the country. His address was earnest, short and stirring. After which, Bishop Pinkney introduced Hon. Montgomery Blair, one of the vestry of the parish, who made one of the happiest efforts of his life. Judge Blair's address was marked by close reasoning and with fine allusions, as well to the history of the English church and her daughter, the Protestant Episcopal church in this eave ton to the future of the same conservative body in both countries. On the corner stone was inscribed: “St. Mark’s “Old Parish” Chapel: built 1774, A. D5 re- built 1835, A. D.; removed 1875, A.D. This was the first charge of Bishop Pinkney, and any of the many friends of this distinguished ehigecee who wish to aid in rebuilding this, his first charge, can do so by leaving their contributions with the Rector of the Ascen- sion, the Rey, John Elliott, D.D. The ladies served one of their best dinners, to which many sat down weary and rose up refreshed. Our agricultura! fafr is now over; the nom- ‘nations for the legislature have been made, and the people are busy cutting off corn and ‘allowing for the next wheat crop. Yours, truly, SLIGO. Ney YoRK Dry Goops MARKET.—The somewhat unsettled condition of the cotton soods .market has induced extreme caution on the partof buyers, and less confidence was | Xpressed in the maintenance of values than for some time past. The jopbing trade has been spasmodic and irregular, but jobbers have been relatively much more actively employed than commission houses, and a large aggregate amount of business was ac- complished during the week by the former. Cotton gocds have been in limited request from first hands, and there has been a marked ——- to sell accumulations of brown and feached cottons, grain tags, &c., at a liberal coneession from previous holding rates, in which ig Goes large transactions have oc- curred. @ jobbing trade in cotton goods has been liberal in amount, and the extreme cheapness of many descriptions of brown and bleached cottons has enabled many of the leading jobbers to place important Lines of these gocds in the channels of distribution, although at figures which leave tem a very slight margin for profit, as “cutting” has been unusually prevalent of late. There was an increased demand for both staple and fancy imported goods by retailers in the in- terior, and in volume the amount of sales effected by importers and jobbers kas been fairly satisfactory, if net entirely up to ex- pectations.

THE HEIRs TO $15,000,000 WORTH OF AR- KANSAS AND Missouri LANp.—The sult of the heirs of Don Joseph Valliere, who in 1793, as captain of a Spanish regiment at the port of Arkansas, received a grant of six million acres of land from Baron de Caronde- let, governor of the province of Louisiana, Which the heirs now claim from the United States, was called in Jefferson bs Mo., on Monday of last week by Judge A. Krekel and the government, through District Att: ney Botsford, filed a plea of demurrer to pelition, and joined issues on the questions oflaw. ‘Counsellor William H. Duryea, of Brooklyn, the solicitor of the forty heirs, ap- peared for them, and is to argue the demur- rer in Jefferson City on the first Monday in November. The land covered by the original grant lies along the banks ‘of the White river, and extends into southwest Missouri, into a rich country. It is worth $15,000,000, and the heirs sue for floating land warrants for the original number of acres. a VINDICATED AFTER MANY YEARS.— Some forty years ago Thomas Emerson, president of the old Windsor (Vt.) was pected of robbing the bank of about $50, the loss of which ruined the institution.

Mention has been made in Tae Srar of the shocking disaster which occurred in New York Tuesday morning about 11 o'clock, by which three firemen were killed outright, and ~everal others seriously injured. While the -Erial Ladder company were practicing at the corner of East Broadway and Canal Street the ladder gave way, precipitating eight wen who were on it at the time to the paverment, killing Wm. H. Nash, chief of the battalion; Philip Maus. of No.6 track, and Wm. Hughes, oF engine No.9. The rest were more or less hurt. There were about 1,500 people on the ground at the time, and the excitement among them for a while amounted to a panic. Mr. Nash resided at 149 Clinton street. He leaves a wife,son and two danghters, Mr. Maus leaves a wife and ebild”” Sfp Tughes as only three months married, and when his remains were brought heme to his young wiife the scene was So ainful as tO affect his comrades to tears. Nash was a Mason and us &@ past grand of Enterprise Lodge, No. 36, of Odd Fellows. A THRILLING SCENE. The laader, it would appear, was composed of nine sections, and was moved up from the truck on which it stands with a windlass, and when up to its full height is little short of 100 feet. On this occasion the ladder was run seven minutes, and when Chief Nash reached the top, finding the ladder loose, called out to tighten the ropes, which was being done, when the ladder snapped off on the second section from the top. An eye- Witness says that when the ladder cracked Mrs. Udah, the porentes, ran to the side of the truck and tightened the lower portion of it standing, and, no doubt, saved the lives of the men near the bottom. After this the lady jumped into a car, and the strain on her nerves being too much for her she fainted, A TOUCHING INCIDENT. The New Yo. k Herald says:—In the parade of the veterans of the Mexican war yester- day was an old man named Hugbes. He left his home joyfully in the morning in antici- pation of ineday's parade. Down Broadway the procession marched, amidst cheers, &c., of the sidewalk spectators. Mr. Hughes felt glad and joyful, and his step was young and buoyant, notwithstanding his years. To the lively music of the Governor's Island band, the ace entere! the city ball park. Suddenly a youth who had been watching the parade jumped out of the crowd and ap- proaching Mr. Hughes said, “Your son is Mr. Hughes left the parade to find out the particulars. In a few momenta he was informed of the terrible ladder disaster, and that bis son was among thedead. The old soldier wiped @ tear from his eye and then went stratcht to his home, No. 131 Mad- ison street. His day of enjoyment was over, and he returned home to weep over his dead son. CENSURE. The New York papers severely censure those responsible for this horrible disaster. The ladder was of white pine, with numer- ous defects in the wood. A resolution has been offered at a meeting of the New York fire commissioners condemning the serial ladder as dangerous and worthless, and call- ing on the fire department to forbid its use. it was laid over for further investigation. ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND RECNION— rhe President, General Sherman and Other Dis- tinguished Persons Present.—The ninth re- union of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland commenced at Utica, N. Y., esterday. President Grant and Senator Conkling were present. Generals Sherman and Hooker led the procession to the Opera Honse, where calls were made for a speech on the President, but ue simply bowed. Gen- eral Sherman made a few facetious remarks. General Hooker presided in the absence of General Sheridan, who was re-elected Presi- dent, with a number of vice presidents and other officers. The society resolved to hold its next meeting at Philadelphia, July 6 and 7, 1876. Last night the meeting continued, and the city was illuminated in honor of the reunion, hye sage Gildersieeve and his as- sociates of the American rifle team were present “t the Opera House and ted with applause.

He excused himself from making a speech, but said he would like to write and have the vast audience read what he could tell of the glori- ous deeds or the army of the Camberiand.

A letter was read from Dr. be Koven with- drawing his acceptance of his election as Bishop. He gives at “at length his views concerning the Holy Eucharist and the pres- ence of the Savior, and the nature of the pres- ence in the consecration of the slements, claiming that the views he holds, while not those of the church fe, are not disa- vowed by the church on account of their er- rors. If they are such as to make it impro- per for him to be @ Bishop, they are such as tomake it improper for him to be a presby- ter, since in either case his teachings would lead souls astray. Liedenied the right of the standing committee to reject a bishop elect. He expresses his love for the Diocese of Iili- nois, but declares, for the sake of harmony, hemust withdraw his acceptance. The let- ter was received with great regret. At yes- terday’s session, the committee's report on the letter of Dr. De Koven disapproves of chrrch laws putting it in the power of the standing committees to sit in judgment on the doctrinal views of a bishop elect, and also expresses unchanged confidence in Dr. De Koven. Dr. W. E. McLaren, rector of Trinity church, Cleveland, was elected bishop on the second ballot. ANSWERING LETTERS.—A great many people in this country are shamefully negli- gent about answering letters. Nothing ts more annoying. In European countries it is regarded the height of ill-breeding to al- low a letter which needs a reply to go anan- swered, and so it ought to be considered here. This is a polnt on which parents should lay great stress to their children. They should be taught to consider it as 1ude not to repiy to a letter which needs attention as to hand a fork with the prong end. The busiest pe i ington, who, it will be admitted, hada deal on his hands at disferent times of bis life, replied to every proper and respectful letter, no matter from how humble a source. dt houses and twenty i H i k i iH Fy dee ; ii Te cgiams to The Star.

Therefore those revelations, under the form of public or private revelation, have become the compass of the human reason.

WOMEN AND LETTERS.—Women are more Apt to keep old letters than men are. For this reason do they especially need advice Upon this subject. Never keep letters of af- fection, This is an uncertain world. Hearts change; men and women die, but the sense- less ink and paper, if notgiven to the flames, remain tocopfront, in the most unexpected Moment, those who have used them. A bet- ler, full Of affection, or, still better, of love, seems So much & partof the one who has written it, Ubat to burn it seems like indiffer- ence or cruelty. With what a melancholy pleasure do we, years after they are written, read over old letters. How hard it is to clean out and “put to mghts” old cupboards,closets and boxes in which are stored letters from our dearest and best beloved, some of whom the grave, cruel yet kind, holds; some sleep, perchance, in ocean's depths, while some, re parted from us forever by remorse- less fate—more cruel than grave or ocean wave. Yet, withal, this is one of the pleas- ures that stern duty calls upon us to forego. Loving words, the ‘first trembling hope, last solemn asseveration, the earnest protes- tation of unchanging affection, the piece of gossip now seemingly harmless, should all be given to the friendly fire. Their destruc- ton will occasion a few passing heartaches, but thelr preservation may cause pain and mortification unspeakable.
