Switzer, of Nebraska, to ge register of the land office at Bloomington, Nebraska. SECRETARY Scuvnkz is in bad health, due, he thinks, to a touch of malaria, and exp2cts to leave the Gp dae row night for a visit of a few days at Deer Park. DECISION IN A LAND CasE.—In the case of Hans Hogland vs. Northern Pacific Railroad company, the Secretary of the Interior has decided that the grant of the Northern Paci- fie Railroad Co., attaches to lands acquired under Sesscton and Wahpeton treaty, (outside of reservation) they having been acyuired prior to the definite location of the road, and that settlement claims upon granted sections were excluded by 6th section of act of July 2, isi. making grant tocompany.

Maxwell was charged with selling duplicate vouchers of his pay several months vance, so that he reahzed about #2,0.). Charges were preferred against him by the aster general, with results stated ota. A Few Mone Noranies.—The President to- day added to the list of notaries public for the iowing:—E. B. Hay, Charles S. Kimbal!, Aaron Bradshaw, Mac- 8, and J. Thomas Turner. A REFRACTORY POSTMASTER.—The mem- bers of the state executive committee of Ohio have made formal complaint to President Hayes that Postmaster Loge, of Cincinnati, not only returned the circular of the commit- tee asking for a contribution for campaign ex- penses, but that his letter declining to con- tribute was very tart in itsterms. Extracts trom Loge’s letter to the committee weie sent to the President. EXPERTS.—Edward Lee Plumb, late charge d'affaires of the United States at Mexico, has been appointed an expert in the Bureau of Statistics, to collect data and information as to the trade of the west and southwest, andthe development of commerce with Mexico. The ebief of the bureau has also in contemplation the selection of an expert, whose duty it will be to accumulate data for a full and compre- hensive report of the value and importance of ee internal commerce on the great rivers and 23. PERSONAL.—Vice President Wheeler is at Martha’s Vineyard. ....Mrs. V. Hagmann and children have spent the hot summer days at Seneca Springs. ....Mrs.D. M. Key, Misses Emma and Kate Key, and Mr. 8. A. Key and wife have arrived in the ciiy from Chatta- nooga, Tenn. ....Attorney General Youmans, of South Carolina, arrived In the city to-day. DEMOCRATIC ADVICES FROM GEORGIA are to the effect that the state is undergoing smajl convulsions over the Congressional nomina tions. In but one district, Mr. Stephens’, is tuere less than five candidates for nomina- tion, while in others they range upward to iweniy. There is going to be some of the liveliest sort of political fighting before the neminavions are made. ‘he probabilities however, are that the present delegation, with oue or two exceptions, will be returned. JUDGE Youman’s MIssION TO: BosToN.— Judge Youmans, attorney general for the state of South Carolina, arrived in the city this morning. He will leave this evening for Boston to be present at the hearing of the ex- tradition case of Kimpton, the quondam finan- cial agent of South Carolina. Gov. Hampton issued a —— for Kimpton on Governor Rice, and Hampton has employed the ablest legal talent to prevent its being grantcd. Learning this, Governor Hampton has direct ed Judge Yourmans to go to ton and ap- bear for the state of South Carolina and de- mand Kempton’s extradition, if there is law forit, or to ascertain why the !aw does not cover the case. Kimpton is charged with bribing a whole legislature. ASAN ADDITIONAL GUARD against frauds in the distillation of liquor, Commissioner of I iternal Revenue Raum is placing two lots of gaupers in the different districts throughout the liquor producing sections of the country. On lot will, as heretofore, measure the liquor in the distilleries, while the other will regauge itafter it bas been drawn off into the ware- houses. ‘This plan will, it is exPected, pre- vent the possibility of collusion between dis- tillers and gaugers.

IN CANADA.—George J. Abbott, U.S. commercial agent at Goderich, Ontario, reports to the Department of State that the wheat crop of that district is the For one month there Was no rain, and the farmers had a grand op- portunity to_ harvest their wheat in the best condition. Fifty bushels io the aere is not unusual, while forty isecommon. One farmer ets 2,000 bushels from 51 acres, another 441 from 12, a third 840 trom 26 acres. One farmer threshed 106 bushels froin 24 acres. The aver- age yield in Ontario this year will exceed 25 bushels to the acre, which Mr. Abbott thinks i a highera\erage than in any of the states during the last ten years. Ontario hasan area of 107,000 square miles, and a population of 1,620,000. What state of equal size can com- mute with it in wheat raising? Notwithstand ig its great fertility and salubrity of climate, there is a constant emigration going on to the United States, and to Manitoba. Our liberal homestead laws are ercat inducements, es- pecially to farmers with large families of sons. OBSERVING THE ECLIPSE FROM YELLOW- STONE PaRK.—The Secretary of the Interior has received a letter trom P. D. Norris, super- intendent of the Yellowstone Park, in which he says, under date of August 1: “Otfitte at Bozeman and pashed on here, arriving at eve of the 28th ultimo, observing the eclipse of the sun the next day from a lofty, unexplored, unnamed peak, (amid the snow, with ther- mometer at 45°,) overlooking these springs, and the forks of the Yellowstone and Gard- ner’s rivers, where Mr. Sturges observed the eclipse, and_my assistas!, Mr. Bush, Cinnibar ; Mountain. Fair day, fair view, total obscurity and nearly darkness. Although lam not certain but what the Indian signals upon the mountains were made by white men to in- duce me to employ scouts, still, as all the settlers above Buvitler’s have fied, I, as a mater of prudence, have sent our trunks with official papers and [other val- uables down there, have purchased only one saddle horse and outfit for my own use, hiring the balance of my saddle and pack train with their owners at their own risk until the truth develops, which as to the Bannocks, with only loue tourists or especial! courier intercourse with the outside world is slow and uncer- tain.” He also sends information tha his party {s eleven strong; that has completed a wagon road 2 th Hot Spring terrace in the pass tothe Middl: Gardner ; and that he hasexplored this stream fifteen miles to its upper canon, finding the route here more favorable than anticipated.

He expects to be absent several weeks. PEACEABLE INDIANS.—The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has received a report for the month of July, from R. H. Milroy, Indian agent at Olympia. W. T., to the Puyallup, Nes- qually and other Indian tribes. He says, after Aiving an idea of the farming operations of ie Indians: Indians of this agency and peaceably disposed government and the whites, and there is no more danger of them going to war than of so many sheep and rabbits doing so. But the little Indian war east of the Cascades and some 259 miles southeast of the sound was sufficient to Scare many fodl whites around Puget Sound, Who got up reports that sptes and emissaries were among our Indians inciting them to go on the war path, and that many of our Indians were buying ammunition and making prepa- rations to join the hostiles. These false and groundless reports caused uneasiness mong aS, Indians, as they feared an outbreak of the whites upon them ; and there was much more ae for this fear than of an outbreak of 1 Indians of this or either of the other Puget Sound ageneies. The fools are not all dead yet.” Our Edu lonal .chibit in Paris. The following is an extract from an article on the “American Educational Exhibit,” pub- lished in the American Register, (Paris): “In the center of the pavilion stands a fine mode of the primary school of Washington, mounted on a marble bookcase, which isa marvel of compactness and neatness, containing 4,( ) objects representing that celebrated establish. ment; works of every nature accomplished by scholars—exercises beautifully bound, mathe- matical drawings, &c.—and even a number of slates, pearing very neat geometrical and trignometrical figures, whieh it is rather euri- ous to think were drawo three thousand miles off, have been brought across the ocean just as they were put down, and might “now be obliterated by the ‘touch ofa finger.

THE UNPLEASANT EXPEP'ENCES OF AN OLD LADY AT LOUISVILLE, KY. Mr. J.B. Goodford was a Frenchman. He had an aunt 80 years old. Both left New Or- leans by rail for France, via Louisville and New York, the 3d inst. About eight miles from Louisville Mr. G@. went out on the plat- form, lost his balance, and fell off the train, t2ing missed by noone. When the train ar- rived at Louisville the ald lady, Mrs. Marguc rite Gosson, could not find her nephew, and refused to leave the car. She could not speak a word of English, and talked very rapidly in French, gesticulating violently, to make the railroad officials understand that her nephew must be somewhere, that he had her ticket, ete. The rai'road officials being unable to un- derstand her, forced her off the car, when, through her efforts at resistance, she cut her {> se and was otherwise bruised. Her foreign language and ways were taken for evidences of insanity, and in a spring wagon she was soon hurried to the city hospital. The hos- pital “stail” at once made a diagnosis. Being ‘rench, her complexion was dark, yellow, and this, in connection with the blcod on her face, and her incomprehensible ravings, left no room for doubt. The doctors shook their heads and whispered nervously, then pronounced the case aver fever,” and sent the patient without delay to St. John’s Eruptive Hospital. Dr. E. O. Brown, of that institution, was {m- mediately called, and forthwith administered the “proper remedies” every ‘two hours.” Next day the dead body of Mr.Goodford was found by a passing train, and on it papers in- dieating his connection with the “yellow fever” patient. The French consul then came to the rescue. He went out to the St. John’s Eruptive Hospital, and addressed the old lady in French. She was in ecstacy. In a few minutes all was told—how she and her nephew were going to France; how he was lost, she Knew not how or where; how the railroad peo- ple did not know any French at all, and failed ‘9 comprehend her situation; how she was Riccaphen ae nureed off, she coud ee re where, perhaps to prison, and perhaps to be ki'led or robbed ; how she had been stared at and her pulse felt by several mysterious look- ing men, probably insane patients, at a place which looked like a hospital; how she had been again driven off, and, at another piece, d and dosed, she could not tell why or for what purpose; she certainly had not T2en sick; how she was well nigh driven crazy, ete.,etc. Her story finished, she was removed to St. Joseph's Infirmary and kindly eared for. Dr. E. 0. Brown ouene her hasty removal inadvisable, and insisted on continu- ing his treatment, but she recevered. The disease did not spread. THIRD VIRGINIA CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. The conservatives of the Richmond (third) Virginia district held primary elections yes- terday to elect delegates to the district con- e ional convention. In Richmond, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston gets 42 delegates out of 70. His principal opponent is Col. John B. Young, @ prominent lawyer, who gets2lor 22. The eae delegates are scattering. Man- chester Jchuston gets 4, poe 5, out of 8. Henrico county goes against Johnston. The rome counties in the district are only partiaily heard from, but the few returns re- ceived are satisfactory to Johnston's friends, Who hope to get enough delegates to insure allot. Sevent pine votes are necessary to secure the nomi- nation in the convention. SINCE THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION of the German Emperor there have been 521 con- victions of persons for insulting language to- wards the Emperor. Five of the accused com- mitted suicide before their trial. CUMBERLAND CoaL TRApDE.—The product of the mines of the Cumberland coal region for the week ending Saturday, August 10, 1878, was 52,473 tens, and for the year to that date 875,485 tons, an increase of 106,538 tons as compared with the corresponding aging of last year. The shipments to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad were for the week 18,913 tons ; for the year 495,908 tons, an increase of 38,295 tons. as compared with 1877. The ship- ments to the Chesapeake and Ohio canal were for the week 10,638 tons; for the year 315,760 tence, an increase of 69,723 tons aS compired with 1877. THE BLOODY WORK aT EDGEFIELD. Further details of the bloody care in Edge- field, S. C., Monday, show that the firing began ina bar-room where the parties were drink- ing, and was finished in the pantie square, Whither the combatants went, keeping up the fire as they retired. There were some 2}shots fired in all. The men engaged were desperate characters and very much feared. In addition to the three killed outright, a fourth, who was wounded, died soon after the fight. ACCORDING to an official statement in the English Parliament the deaths from famine in India run up tothe appalling figures of one million three hundred and fare thousand, and it is very probable that this is rather below than above the actual number who have died ‘THE TERRIBLE YELLOW FEVER PLAGUE.— One hundred and Ca new cases of yel- low fever were repo! yesterday at New Or- Jeans and 20 deaths had occurred. ‘The weather and unfavorable for the sick. obtained a foothold in Mem phis, but is confined to one locality.

CHARMING FRANKNESS OF A NEW ORLEANS REPORTER. After our telegraphic report of the proceed- ings of the Potter Committce in New York closed yesterday afternoon, Mr. John E. Leete, @ New Orleans Times reporter, was put on the Stand. He tesiificd that about 18/2 he was engaged in getting up facts and evidence in support of the Kellogg government to lay before Congress. Witness was to get the best office not traded off already, and picked out the office of harbor master; never went near the oflice except to draw pay: was constantiy associated with Kellogg; iost confidence in Governor Kellogg when he (witness) was re- moved. In the census of 1575 it was deemed advisable to swell the census of colored peop'e as high as possible, so that the basis of regis- tration could be high, as eyery colored man ‘was understood to be republican. The demo- crats ignored that census as a fraud. Witness was told to find a large republican census, meaning a large colored contingent. They tcld me, said witness, to find them, no matter howI did. I refused to do so. The only honest count was taken in my parish, which showed an rca of whites and decrease of colored people. DABRALL’S LETTER TO ANDERSON ABOUT THE VISITING STATESMEN, ETC. Here Mr. J. E. Anderson, who has already been on the stand, was recalled by Mr. Potter, who handed him the following letter, which he identified as having received from C. B. Darrall. The letters S., M. and H. in the letter he said meant Sherman, Matthews and Harlan: pave) Morgan City, ., May 12, 1878.—My Dear wir:—I have your favor of a late date and am pleased to hear from you.

NEBRASKA AND ITS NEXT CENSUS.—Nebras- kais deeply interested in the next national census. Inthe past eight years her popula- tion, which was in 1870 computed at a fraction over 122,000, has fully trebled, and estimating the pee increase for the next 18 months at the ratio of increase during the past 18 months, it is fair t> assume that the national census of 1880 will credit Nebraska with a pop- ulation of over 500,000. The next Congres- sional apportionment will prebably change the ratio of appoiiionment to al sut 150,000 inhabi- tants for each Congressman, and one for each additional fraction of over 75,000. That will give Nebraska not less than three, and in all premsoiiy four Congressmen. On the other and, her constitution authorizes an increase of sere eancn in the legislature after the vear 1880 from the present number, 114 mem- vers, to 130 members, and it is presumable that this change will be made, to accommodate the rapidly develeping sections of the state that are now short of representation. These m irked. changes in her Congressional and legislative re presentat fon cannot fail to revolutionize the political status of the state. In this respect the impending political revolution in Nebras- ka, that will inevitably be brought about through the next- national census, is only the result of the same natural law of development that has wrought such marvelous changes in the material development of that state. ARRESTED IN LIVERPOO! —A cable dispate Says that Thomas Forbes was arrested Monday morning on the arrivalof the steamer Adriatic at Lverpool. He is charged with having died Mrs. Walker. of Rahway, N. J., ouc ) while pretending to be a detective. Mrs. Walker, it will te remembered, aceom- anied by her husband and a member of the law firm of Fu'lerton, Knox & Crosby, sailed for Liverpool on last ‘Wednesday in pu*suit of ‘orbes. EX-DOORKEEPER POLK has broken loose in a private letter. He remarks: Our democratic friends had better tie up their sore heads and come together like a band of political brothers and do not act to throw away the prize they shall surely attain if they act together harmo- niously. No man has been treated worse than myself by individual members of the party, and I hope every one of them will be defeated in his aspirations for a renomination, if good Ce can take their place, but not other- wise. A NEw PENNSYLVANIA COUNTY.—The people of Luzerne county, Pa., voted Tuesday in favor of the creation of Lackawanna county from a pores of Luzerne by a majority of 7,000. It is 40 years since the question was first agitated, and ‘when the result was announced at Scran- ton Tuesday night, cannons were fired, bells rupg, and gougs sounded, and there was a general illumination. The streets were lined with blazing tar-barrels, and crowds of people fraternized and cheered tor Lackawanna couny ue. ‘The campaign was fought with come bitterness, owing to the efforts of Judges Handley and Stanton to make it a Political issue, by stating that the division would be detrimental to.he democrats and favorable to the election of Gen. Hoyt, the republican candidate for governor of Pennsyl- yenia, The judges are more afraid, however, that it will disturb their own tenure of office, but the movement was too popular to be effected by their appeals to the masses.=Scran- ; ton will be county seat of the new county. ow- ing tothe inadequate court tacilities hitherto afforded at_Wilkesbarre, 2) miles away. Sriit FROM EnD 10 END BY LIGHiNING.— A telegram from Portsmouth, N. H., says: During a terrific thunder shower, at noon to day, a large two-masted whale boat, owned by James Burke of this city, was struck by light- ning off Boon Island. She was splitin two from stem to stern and sank. The craft was occupied at the time by Mr. Burke and Frank Hutchings of this city. Poth went down with the boat, but speedily came to-the surface un- harmed, when they were rescued by a passiag vessel and brought to this port. SWALLOWING A STOLEN DIAMOND Ring — Mrs. Rebecca Schlessinger of 156 Henry strcet, the wife of the tailor of the police de- panne went to the Grand street bath on londay last.

The resistance does not come from the Mussulman population alone, but is attributed to revolutionary Pan-Slavism for the purpose of attracting the Bosnians and Herzegovin- jans to Servia. The Servian government de- clares that it is loyally adhering to its conven- tions with Austria, but this is not {mplicitly believed in Vienna, and a report was current there that an Austrian corps would be sent to watch Servia, and’ advance across the bound- ary on the first sign of bad faith.

THE POTTER COMMITTEE. THE YELLOW FEVER. Spread of the Plazue. NEBRASKA GREENBACK PARTY. RUSSIA OCCUPIES VARNA. PARIS PRIZES TO AMERICANS. THE POTTER INVESTIGATION. ..._. The Testimony To-day. New York, August 15.—Lhe first witness to- day in the Potter investigation committee was Mr. John A. Leete, of the New Orleans Times, who continued his testimony from yesterday. He said: “* When Anderson called on me after coming from East Feliciana, he told me he had carried out the cams, as was well understood between Kellogg, Anderson and myself. The programme was to KEEP THE COLORED REPUBLICANS FROM VOTING. Each man had a programme of his own. It was thought best to exclude the colored republican vote, so that the returning board could throw out the whole democratic yot@ of the parish if necessary. The republican party was de- moralized there, and would have been beaten. Ander..on went back to East Feliciana, and a peaceable election was held. Anderson told me he did not mean to make any protest until he found out “where the land lay.” Kellogg urged me to do what I could to get Anderson to make a pro’ t, The attention of the whole couniry was .-ing centered on Louisiana, and Kellogg said it was highly important tc get a protest out of Anderson before some of Tilden’s emissaries arrived there and bought him up. T advised Anderson not to make any rotest at all. Anderson and I agreed that he republican party was defeated. and we were sorry for Hayes, but glad Packard was beaten. We agreed, however, that though beaten, the republicans would get in. “IN AN INTERVIEW WITH KELLOGG he said that no matter what Anderson would Say he would count the state in for Hayes. We agreed to Kellogg's plan to count in Hayes. 1 knew very well that Sherman and the visit- ing statesmen had come down there to steal the state. I knew they were after Anderson's protest, so that after commiting himself he could not go over to the democrats without perjuring himself. There was a glorious pros- pect for Anderson, and I knew that he could get anything he demanded for his protest, which would cause the vote of East Feliciana for Tilden to be thrown out. I think that even without Anderson’s protest they would have thrown out the vote. Kellogg wanted me to manufacture affidavits. —— FOREIGN AEFAIRS The Russians Occupy Varna.

Drought regrets at parting, a part ing seems almost like the breaking u; and scatteringof a larce family after an 4 reunton. The weather of the day has appro Driately represented the smilesan: tears ofthe occasion ; we have had a little shower and then a little sun shine. The real, substantial good at has been accomplished since the inception of this camp, Will be realized in the chan, ed lives of fuily an hundred souls, now joponetioe cause of their new birth. The managers— ae Morgan, Mr. Willet, Mr. J. T. Mitchell, and others,—can have the proud satisfaction of Knowing how much the carefulan | judicious character of affairs has contributed to these beneficial resul clory arrange ments have been among the principal means of inducing the tenters to come here, bec: where there are poor accommodat camp meeting, the religious tend are overcome by the apprehension of being physically discommoded, and to this ex tent ihe grand objects of the camp are de- feated. As improvements which are sagested by experience are bein; Grove Camping Ground will be one of the Pk asantest places in this vicinity. The pre- Siding elder ot the district, Rev. B. Peyton Brown, has been indefatigable in his official and professional labors, and hiscorps of minis- ters here labored with him Incessintly and to & profitable end in advancing the cause of religion. The laymen too have done their full Share of the work. ; POLITICIANS TN CAMP. I did intend to say something hard about the way the county politicians have been utilizing our camp meeting tn the advocacy of their favorites in the Peter-Prettyman fight for Congress. But I'll desist, under a kind ‘of pro. test, from injecting it in here, because 1 have ad the good fortune to meet an enthusiastic exponent of each of the competitors, and the certainty with which they each mapped out the inevitable success of his fayorite, and fixed up his triumphant mareh to the Congres- sional halls would seem te put aside the possi- bility of the defeat of either of them. If their calculations are correct, the order of things must be so far changed as to entitle this dis trict to two congressmen; and in the mean. time a republican, knowingly winks hiseye, throws his thumb significantly over his left Shoulder and whispers, “Wait boys until our yore ts counted and then you'll serateh gravel.” And so we have an exemplification of the perfect infatibility of man’s judgment, doth sides being so ceriain of victory as are both divisions of the one sile. But religion and polities won't mix. : THE SMALLEST CAMPER YET. made, Washington aw to-day the c ity of the camp inthe of a Six Weeks’ old baby, that weighs be d and a-ha't and a pound and ntainly 1s attraciing a ation 17 iputians have jed out with Minnie Warren. st bight while Mrs. this county, having spent th upset and thr out, bruising some, but not ser’ any of them.

The young peo. ple’s meeting and the special meeting for the ladies were also held THE LAST NIGHT IN CAMP. At night Rey. Richard Norris preached to the largest audience that has yet attended a service on the ground, with ‘the exception, perhaps, of the morning service of the first Tuesday. | Multituces of the country people, ladies and geutlemen were present, the vast majority of whom secured seats in the taber. nacle, but many paraded around the cirele. though so quietly a rly as not to dis. turb the meeting. is fact is a strong in ducement to a aritabie mind to believe hap cha that they walked bccause they could not get seats. it” more hey evidentiy came for the “fun of than to participate in the spiritual bul therr decorum and ct and reverence leave them rough element of the country in shiny face, and possibly had jon to ca ‘un searchings to greater limits than the vigilance of the managers would permit.

This was the ony: theit I have heard of. colored people were also present in larger numbers than on Cosging. o nights. At ll o'clock sharp, after a happs address by Mr. Brown, the death knell of his ear’s ‘camp was rung by Brother Laney, who has so efficiently attended to the belfry dutias and the preacher's tent, «ni the coerce: tion was at once dismissed, the tenters being requ to go to their tents and the transient visitors to their homes. 1 should like to give you a resume of the re- sults of the camp, but my letter has gone be- yond the limits, and I must be content with reiterating that those results are good and healthy to such an extent as to make all the SS feel thankful and glad, and to leave no room for regrets to ~~ ene but the Ruler of the domains of lost souls.
