A general order just issued by General Sherman, by direction of the Secretary of War, publishes for the guidance of the army the Instructions of the Attorney General ad- dressed to United States marshais issued a few days ago. General Sherman then calls the attention of all officers of the army to section 5,522 of the Revised Statutes in re- gard to interfering witn supervisors of elec- ton, marshals or deputies, and also to an extract of @ letter of the Secretary of War to Gen. Meade, dated August 25, 1468, hereto- fore issued as instructions of the department: obligation of military individual of- ficers and soldiers, in common with all citi- zens, to obey the summons of a marshal or sheriff must be held subordinate to their | se gp duty as an ot ee ly. Hence, ‘troops can act only in their Proper organ! he sa » under their owa officers, and in obed fence to the immediate orders of those officers. The officer com- marshal or sheriff must also jadge for him- self and upon bis official responsioility whe. ter the service required of him is lawful and necessary and compatible with the — discharge of bis ordinary military juties, and must limit the action absolutely to proper aid in the execution of the Jawfa! Precept exhibited to him by the marshai or sheriff. If time will permit, every demand from @ civil officer for military aid, whether it be for the execution of civil process or to Suppress insurrection, should be forwarded to the President, with all material facts in the case, for his orders, and in ail cases the highest commander whose orders can be given in time to meet the emergency will alone assume responsibility of action. By a limely disposition of troops where there is reason to #pprehend necessity for their use and by their positive interposition between bostile parties danger of collision may be averted. He further calls attention to the procia- mation of the President of tue United States of May 34, 1871, iu regard to the Enforcement act, in which the President enjoins upon all good citizens, and especially upon all public officers, to be zealous in the enforcement thereof, abd warns all persons to abstain from committing an the acts thereby pronibite’. The follo' ragray of the general order publishing that proclamation for the guidance of the army, are ,pubiishea b order Of to-da: ‘ne President directs that whenever occa sion shall arise regular forces of the United States stationed tn the vicinity of any loca! ity where the offences described by the afore- said act, approved April 30, 1811, may be commited, snail, in strict accordance with the provisions of said act, be empl by their commanding Officers ia assisting the authorized clvil sutbority of the ited States in making arrests of persons accused uncer said act; in preventing rescue of per sons arrested for such cause; in breaking up and dispersing bands of disguised maraud- €13 and armed a inst the and quiet or law! citizens inaoy state.

DR. TONER’S ADDRESS IN PHILADELPHIA. At Wednesday's session of the Interna- tional Medical Congress, Dr. J. M. Toner, of this city, read an address on ‘Medical Bio pares.’ from the report of which in the venting Telegraph of that day we take the following extract: “In glancing over the period to be em- braced in thts retrospect, 1 am struck by the paucity of really striking evente which influenced the practice of medicine, and that have left special marks at the end of the frst century of our nationalexistence. Wara bave generally been promoti' of medica) science, and our profession was no doubt much behefitted by the contest for iadepea- dence. For the first quarter of a century after this armed struggle, the leading physicians ait surgeons were those who hi served in the army. The most notable event of this pe riod was the occurrence of AN EPIDEMIC YELLOW FEVER, which appeared in the summer of 1793 and 1798 In nearly all our disease tested the cou: ergies and best ekill he profession, the more eminent to reduce their observations to writing, and to have them published either in defence of weir practice or for the laudable purpose of makixzg ocoa- tributions to medical science. The second quarter of the Centennial pe- riod was distinguished by the INTRODUCTION OF VACCINATION, the occurrence of spotted fever, and the war Of 1812, All of these were events which stim ulated the profession to more extended stu dies and became incentives to autuorship; this was especiaily trueof tne disease knowu a8 spotted fever. The war of 1312 proved to be another great school of exjerience, although it was not fraitful in medical reports or publications. The aspiration which it aroused, however, in the profession, gave an impetus to the es tablishment of medical periodicals and tue founding of; medical colieges and hospitals Io following out the plan of dividing the century into quarters, the third may be murked as noted for the DISCOVERY OF ANESTHESIA, the epidemic of Asiatic cholera in 1332 and 1848, and the war with Mexico, as well as the discovery and the iad mae pate of many new and improved methods of physical explora- tion in the search for disease. The last quarter which has just closed is speciaily distinguished by th» vast experi ence of the late war, which was a grea! school, and which has benefited the medica! Profession of the whole country. The ex- vended use of anrthesia in painful surgicei operations, the increase of scientific meaus for exact diagnosis, the introduction of new and poteut remedies and modes of admia's tration, and the founding of hospitals ani mec‘teal colleges in nearly ali the large cities. The discoverer or the expounder of a new truth, the recorder of an additional fact or of ahitherto unobserved symptom or an im proved procedure in surgery, in his treat Gat of disease, deserves, and wiil receive, @ more enduring piace in history thaa be who has gained great popularity or the lar,g- est fortune. The doctor then proceeded to give bio Sgr sketches of Dr. Benjamta Raab, r. Valentine Mott, Dz. Philip sydney Pus- steb, and numerous other bright medical l'ghts of the century just closed.

Gov. Hayes im Reply. RIS STATEMENT, AS IT APPEARS IN THE OMIO STATE JOURNAL—THE INCOME STORY SCATTERED. As to the charge that Sardis Bircnard, Hayes’ uncle, ¢ that in his possession, only $1,000 in 1874, is made that Birchard’s returo inet ‘and book accounts, of cratic board of equilization so decided at the time. The debts overbalancei the credits, and the £1,000 return in 1874 was for boid goods which were notsubdject to this de- duction. The increase in this item in 1575 to $5,000 was Gov. Hayes’ library. As to the watch charge, Gov. Hayes never revurned one worta $300. His three watches were returned as kee} and were together not wor! . One had not been raonming in twenty years. Hayes never had a piano at the time of the return, but rented one last fall for ® niece visiting him. ‘This summer he got one in traie. He never returned horses at £300 worth $500. One of bis horses is 277 years oid, and worth noth- ing, but is listed at $50. The other two were worth 280 and £100, but are listea for taxa- tion at #250. His best horse cost him #125. He is said to have returned four carriages at $250, when he is Known to have paid $500 for one and $350 jor another. In reply, he says the carriage referred to was bought a year after the false return, and was then properly listed. As the return of 1876 shows, two of these carriages were a buggy aad a wagon, one of which shortly soid for #20, and one would not sell at all, but botn were listed at $15. The other was @ second hand phieton, which cost $100. As to the 833,000 left in Gov. Hayes’ bands, in bequests from Mr never returned for taxation, the fact is that not @ dollar was thus left him, and tuat be- quests were tp be paid from the sale of the land, and he was given three years in which tosellit. This land is, of course, taxed by the‘ ounty without consultation with owner or holder. This Birchard property is ail vest- ed in Hayes by the will. It was, therefore, not required that he should make separate returns of pi rty held by him asexecutor. 1t all belon: to him and was listed as luis. Governor es is authority for these state- ments. The Political Riot at Kingston, N. ¥. FATAL SHOOTING AT A POLE RAISING. Additional dispatches giving the detalis of the political row at Kingston, N. Y., men- tioned in the telegraphic columns of Tas » Set forth that the inhab- place are nearly ali Irish demo crats,and that @ republican club of thirty Irishmen has spay ten formed there, and rouch ill feeling between the two bodies is the consequence. About three weeks ago a ole raised by the republican club was cat lown, and Wednesday afternoon the repub- lican club made an excursion to Stony Hol- low to erect & new pole and present tus club of that place with a flag. One hundred and tbirty persons went from Kingston, with Gen. Gates and A.T. Clearwater as speakers. Amriving there a meeting was organized Gen. Gates attempted to speak, but was silenced by how!s, the ringing of cow bells and other noises. The meeting was aban- doped, but the pole was raised, and the party started for the cars. All but two had got into the cars; these two, John T. Bond and Edward Clay, were on their way, when they saw Michael Lamb take hold of the Ee to pull itdowa. Lamb was druns, and Jonstable Hyland and others say they triet to pull him away. Bond, however, thought they were rushing to help Lamb to pull the pole down, and wlidly gesticulating and flourishing a club he shi uted to the men in the cars, “They are pulling down the pole,” at which the party rushed outof the cars. The democrats made a rush for the crowd, and revolvers were drawn by the parties from Kingston, most of them being thas armed. Revolvers were also seen in the hands of some of the Stony Hollow party. It is claimed that a shot was fired py some of the repubdijican band, but accounts differ, sae roainiy supporting this statement. The fight then became shots being fired, aud stones were buried freely. The republican party was finally ston¢d back to the cars, and several of them were wounded. Captain Al. Tanners was badly cut on the head with @ stone; D. L. Montague, a clerk in the post office, was cut also op the head with a stone; Frank Harden and T. J. Boud were wounded by pistol snots. Of the Stony Holiow part, elins and Jozeph Brachett, Tuomas Hyland, Michael and @ boy Brachett is believed to be fatally wounded, having been shot through one of his lungs.

Au Old Trapper’s Accou: of Cas- ter’s Lost MINNEAPOLIS, MiNN , Sept. 8.—The Pio- neer Press and Tribune publishes an inter- view with an old trapper, named Ridgely, Who has beed for @ long time in the Yeliow- Stone country, and claims to have witnessed the Custer massacre, being 4 PRISONER IN SITTING BULL'S CAMP, and seeing every movement of the troops. He was taken prisoner last March, and Kept in the camp of the Indians ever since until the Custer massacre. He was dly treat- ed while there. He says Siu Ball an. ized not to fight the whites, but to drive miners from the Hills. Previous to Custer’s attack mounted couriers from Sitting Ball's pg teed for eight days watched his forces, its division into small detachments being Roted with manifestations of extreme de- light.
