They sent a delegation to meet the President on his return eastward, and urge upon him to change his route, so as to again pass through Hannibal. He did so, and at no town that he has visited was he given a more hearty and enthusiastic reception than that accorded him on his return to Hannibal. A delegation, consisting of the most prominent ladies and gentlemen of the place met and escorted the Presidential party to the Congregational Church (the largest build- Ing in the town), wbere a reception was held. All the civil organizations, the local military and the fire departments, headed by a brass band, turned out in procession. After the re- ception the President and party were invited to artake of a sup) ee prepared for them by the ladies of Hannil QUARANTINE OF THE PoRTCGUESE PoRTS.— Upon the recent outbreak of yellow fever at Memphis, the Portuguese government hastened to put a rigid quarantine upon all vessels com- ing trom the southern states of the Union.

In the orthodox con- ference the committee on Indian affairs report- ed that, owing to an order from the Interior department compelling the Indian agents t? employ only head clerks nominated by the de- partment, who are to have charge of the books and disbursements at the agencies, without be- ing uncer the contol of the agents, and also to humerous orders and. decisions by the Secretary crippling them their work, the committe2 requested 1 agents to resign, and that they had severed all connection of the meeting with the department. In the Hicksite meeting the committee reported that their agents in- tended to resign for the same reason. ‘The com- mittee was authorized to withdraw if it found an amicable adjustment could not be made.

VST OFFICE OFFICIAIS IN THE UTE COUNTRY. The Post Office department, of which Second Assistant Brady {s the acting chief, have heard nothirg from General Tyner, or J.O. P. Burn- side, who went tothe Ute country on a deer hunt. Still Mr. Brady does not apprehend that they are indanger. They are. of course, away from all lines of telegraph, and there is no way of either getting word to or from them. FEARS FOR MEEKER. Nothing has been heard from Indian Agent Meeker, and it is feared that he has been killed by the Indians. THE “UTES,” who are making this attack, have a larze res- ervation on the western border of Colorado. In 1812 gold was discovered thereabouts, and a large portion of the reservation was taken away fromthem, The tribe has usually been friendly with the United States. They number between 12,000 and 15,000, with about 2,500 war- riors, well-armed and mounted. REINFORCEMENTS EN ROUTE. The following dispatch was received at the War department this afternoon: CHICAGO, ILL , Oct. 2d.—Gen. E. D. Townsend, Washington, D.6.:—We have nothing new this morning from the Department of the Platte. General Merritt was to have started this morn- ing from Rawlins with over five hundred men. The six companies of seventh infantry, from Fort Snelling, aud other companies from different posts will reach Rawlins to- morrow and will foilow up Gen. Merritt. These additional troops will make his strength, ex- clusive of Major Thornburg’s command, over bine hundred men, and with it about eleven hundred. Gen. Crook, who left here this morn- ing for the west, thought this would be sufll- cient. I have notified him that I can give him another ‘iment. Duplicate sent to Secretary of War at Keokuk, Towa, P. H. SHERIDAN, Lt. General. AN OFFICIAL REPORT FROM CAPT. PAYNE, commanding the force, aated at Rawlings, Wy.. October 1, says: ‘‘This command, composed of tbree companies of cavalry, was met a mile south of Milk river by several hundred Ute Indians, who attacked and drove us to the wagon train, with great loss. It becomes my pain duty'to announce the death of Major ‘nornburgh, who fell in harness; the painful but not serious wounding of Lieut. Haddock and Dr. Grimes, 10 enlisted men and the wagon master, with the wounding of about 20 men and teamsters.

Ishall strengthen during the night, and belleve we can hold out until reinforce- ments reach us, if they are hurried. Officers and men behaved with the atest gallantry. I am also slightly wounded in two places. The War Separauent up tot halt-past two this afternoon had received no further advices as to Capt. Payne and hismen. It is not expected “ Jat anything further will be heard by the de- partment until! Gen. Merritt arrives on the scene. It 1s also thought that, bursulng thetr usual tactics, the Indians will have ted he arrives at his destination. It is calculated that he will reach Capt. Payne some time to- morrow. Gen. Merritt isa cool and experienced Tndian fighter. MAJOR THORNBURGH'S CAREER. Major Thomas T. Thornburgh, of the sth regiment of U. S. infantry, who was killed in the engagement with the hostile Indians, was born in the state of Tennessee inis43. In the earlier part of the war he served asa privaté soldier in the Union army in a regiment of which his brother (for many years a prominent member of Congress) was colonel. In 1863 he was admitted to the Military Academy at Weet Point, from whence he graduated in is57, and was assigned to duty as 2d leutenant in the artillery, rapa went to duty ee his command onthe Pacific coast. April, 1870, ha was pto- moted to a Ist eutenandy and assigne to duty as professor of military science in the univer- sity of his native state. In April, 1 he was appointed paymaster, and served as such on the Rio Grande frontier. The duties of a disbursing officer were distasteful to him and he sought transfer to the active duties of the line. In May, 1878, he effected a transfer with Major Thomas, of the 4th infantry (belng the first instance in the history of the army where a transfer from the pay Serene. to the line and vice versa had been made.) He went to duty at once with his regiment on the north- Western frontier. He was an officer of much promise, being the youngest of his grade in the army. He irs known as an Officer of great seeneee ane Ce e and of marked soldierly pe led the oldest daughter of Col. Cl farke, of the pay department or the army—a woman of rare worth—who 1s left with a soidier’s pension—the care of three small children. AGENT MEEKER’S REPORT OF THE ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE. On the sthof September Agent Meeker re- ported to the Indian bureau that a few of the Utes bad insisted on his discontinuing the plowing of a certain piece of land, whicn they Wanted for the past of their horses. As it was near the agency, and the most available for an agency farm, and as there was abundant parturage elsewhere for Indian herds, he con- tinued ti the work, at promising 1 move the tents and corrals, there by the Indians, to another oultable locality, and to have the work of removal performed by employe labor. Moreover, he had given notice when t the Iadians began their building of Heit there, that the lace would soon be required for farming. The Indians persisted in their claim to the land, and fired on the plowman while he was at work, The agent then called a council (summoning a rival chief to the agency to take partin the same), and the whole matter was discussed, and resulted finally tna reluctant consent on the partof the Indians to have the work proceed. On the 13th of September the following tele- ram was sent to the Indian office by Agent leeker: “1 have been assaulted by a leading chief, Johnson, and forced out of my own house and injured badly; but I was rescued by em- ployes. It is now ‘revealed that Johnson Origin: ated all the trouble stated in letter of Septem- ber sth. His son shot atthe plowman. The opposition to Powe is iy a8 en Plowing stops. Life of self, family an em loyes not safe. Want protection Imm tely, Have asked Governor Pitkin to canter W with General Pope.” On receipt of the above the War de- ‘tment was called upon for troops to be used arresting the ringleaders of the 0} ‘oppestion to the agent and to enforce order ani a upon the reservation, and the necessary were issued by that department on the ean of September. GENERAL GRANT MAKES A PERSONAL EXPLa- NATION.—A tele; to the N. Y. Herald trom San Francisco Oct. 1, says:—General Grant's speech at Stockton yesterday is the theme of general interest here to-day. Ever since his name has been associated with politics the democratic press has assailed him furiously, to the annoyance of republicans, on his alleged life at Knight’s Ferry and Stockton in 1s49, and through constant repetition was believed by many. The s| was evidently the result of s ue patting of years for an opportunity, the peered tothe reat eae of tis et ie generate | ton Statement was made ik the presence of some oo ered Who could easily have contra- dicted bim if not truthful. This speech sweeps away a wretched calumny that has circulated all over the Union. He has waited a decade to speak and when ne found the time and place he did it effectually. He was not the man known there as vcaptain Grant.” He was not in the country till 1852, VIRGIL JaMES was dying at nee Rocx, Ark. It was known that he had Sree where, and he was asked to ‘atvulge before it was too late. rad pearly gono, an old negro gone, an old negro m: ony belonged to the family, went, Jeanin; said:—“Mars Vi From midnight to 3am. the quantity eed into the pipes, and, as they are kept full, flow- ing out of them was. From 3 a. m. to 6a. m. it was Probably the least consumption w: hours between 1a M.ana4a.m. At that time most people are asleep and there 1s the least actual use of water. But if we take this least use, as shown by Colonel Casey's 's interesting Xperiment, at one-third of 2,625,000, or Si5,00 gallons per hour, we find Gmese a cae chen no man in the whole city needed water, the pipes were drawing from the reservoir and dis- charging in town $15,000 gallons per hour, which 1s at the rate of 21,000,000 gallons per day... The whole delivery, use and waste of that 24t June Was 25,947,642 gallons, say 26 millionsof gallons. At the time of most active domestic use, viz: from 6 a. m. to9 a. m. and from 12 m. to 3 p. m., it was at the hourly rate of 1,162,000 gallons, which fs a daily rate of 27,888,000 gallons. Deduct from this the rate of discharge when nobody was usefully using water, 21,000,000 gal- lons per day, and we find the probable useful consumption to be 27,838,000 less 21,100,000, or 6,888,000 gallons, say 7,000,000 gallons per day— 58 aliens 3 a head for each of 130,00) people. here does the 20,000,000 a day thus appa- rently wasted so far as relates to human use go to? Does it not escape through some open leak or unclored Sep ee of a street waste-pipe into the river?

M. C. M. a ANTI-RENT AFFRAY IN IRELAN . ¥. Herald cable dispatch dated London, Oct. itt says: An affray took place yesterday near Castlebar. One man was killed. A Mr, Sinith and his son, agents of the Marquis of Sligo, were driving near Mulranny, when they were fired on. The younger Smith returned the fire, killing one of the assailants, all of whom were disguised. A fierce struggle ensued, and the Smiths escaping went for the police. When they returned the body of the man who was kilea in the fight had ‘been removed by hiscon- federates. It is to be noted, however | that the accounts of the affair are very conflicting. The Marquis of Headfort and his agent have re- ceived letters threatening their death unless the rent is reduced. The Castlebar affray is generally believed to be an agrarian outrage. A later dispatch states that the body’ of the man who was killed was found in a bog and 1s that of a militiaman.
