By command of Major General Hancock, com- manding the department of the east, Gen. Mitchell on Saturday last appointed a general court-martial to convene at Washi mn bar- racks, D.C., on Thursday, 15th September, 1881, at 11 o'clock a.m., or as soon thereafter as prac- ticable, for the trial of such persons as may be brought before them by authority of those head- quarters. The following is a detail for the court:—Capt. John MeGilvray, First Lieut. R. G. Howell, First Lieut. J. E. Eastman, First Lieut. Edgar 8. Dudley, First Lieut. W. P. Edgerton, Seeond Lieut. Lotus Niles, Second Lieut. D. M. Weaver. Second Lieut. Hamilton Rowan has been appointed judge advocate. All these officers are attached to the 2d artillery, now sta- tioned at Washington barracks. No particular cases are specified in the call to the court, but it is extremely probable that Sergeant Mason will be called upon to appear for trial for breach of discipline and disobedience of orders before this court-martial within a few days. Gen. J. 8. Bigelow, Mason’s counsel, visited him this morning and had a lengthy interview. The charges which have been preferred were made out by Mason's co iz : ace ones a momanding officer, Capt.

The two following dispatches were to-day sent to the Interior department from the War department: , A MESSAGE FROM GEN. SHERIDAN. Cuicaco, Sept. 10, 1881. Gen. R. €. Drum: Have been in free communication with Gen. Pope on the subject of the troubles about Fort Apache. The trouble is confined to the White Mountain Utes, and there isas yet no reason to believe it will spread. Bradley has gone to- wards Apache with two companies of cavalry and three of infantry, and will soon be joined by McKenzie with six companies of the 4th. Additional companies of infantry are being collected at Wingate and the nine companies of infantry at Uncompahgre will be sent there if necessary. I thought it best to hold them in the Ute country a little longer, although the Utes seem tobe going to the new place all right. Pope has been of the opinion that he controls sufficient troops to protect New Mexico andhelp Wilcox. IfI get the slightest information that will lead me to believe that the trouble will spread I will send the whole of the 3d cavalry and one regiment of infantry from department of the Platte, one from Texas and one from Da- kota and one more can be pushed out from de- partment of Missouri. We cannot prudently spare these forces, but will take the chances, as the cold weather is coming on and the Indians will keep quiet in the north. Z Signed) P. H. SHERIDAN, Lieutenant General. Gen. Drum endorsed on the above telegram the following: “I have informed Lieut. Gen. Sheridan by telegram of yesterday of the re- quest of the Secretary of the Interior, that in the movement of regiments referred to in the foregoing dispatch, he (the Secretary of the In- terior) would be glad if Gen. Sheridan would have athe troops guarding the Utes the last to be moved.” Cuicaco, Sept. 11, 1881—Gen. R. C. Drum— Gen. Pope’ telegraphed me last night that ad- vices from Wilcox are to the effect that there was no concerted attack of Indians on Fort Apache; that what occurred was @ mere temporary outbreak, occasioned by arrest of medicine man, and unexpected firing of Carr’s scouts which killed Hentig and six ree Ae fare been no epee since the ing on burying y, the day after officially reported. Gen. jee ills some doubts as to whether the Indians will fire on the troops now advancing on them from every direction. [Signed] P. H. SHeripan, Lr. GENL. ‘WHAT GOY. SHELDON SAYS. The following from Gov. Sheldon, of New Mex- ico, has been received by Secretary Kirkwood, dated Santa Fe, September 6: “‘ Sir:—I have just returned from the southern part of this territory, where I have been making preparations to aid in the suppression of Indian raids. I shall leave again to-mor- row on the same mission, and in a few days I shall have organized companies with arms in their hands at all the exposed points in the territory, if Secretary Lincoln will comply with my request for arms, dispatched to him this morning. The reports relating to In- dian troubles are undoubtedly exaggerated, but there is some reason to apprehend a general participation on the part of all tribes in the operations of Nana and the White Mountain Apaches. It does seem to me that the time has come when offending Indians should receive vigorous and severe treatment. Whatever action I shall take will be entirely in accord with the military authorities. Very respectfully your obedient servant, Lioxen A. StiELpoy, Gov. Mexico. The Banker's Talk. RE COMMISSIONER RAUM ON THE QUESTION OF BACK TAXES. There was a hearing this morning, before Commissioner Raum, of bankers, and their coun- sel from New York, Baltimore, Cincinnati, and one or two from Chicago. The question under consideration was the claim of the internal rey- enue bureau that back taxes, on deposits and capital were due the government from the bank. The recent investigations made by the agents of the bureau have established the fact that there are back taxes due. The interview with Gen. Raum was for the most part technical to the banking business, and consisted mainly of questions and answers about the system of checks, and how the returns to the internal rey- enue bureau were made up. The main difficulty was evidently in the checks which came into the banks. The banks have not regarded as they should that checks are deposits, and by omitting them have scaled down their taxes. There was a good deal said on either side pro and con, and several misunderstandings which existed on both sides of the case were removed. Commissioner Raum made no decision upon any point, but stated that he would listen to the arguments made and hold the matter underadvisement. The general tenor of the whole interview was to arrive at an understanding by which an amicable adjustment as to the amount of back taxes due could be reached and a system for future business founded, so that there could be no misunderstanding, either innocently or wilfully, in the future. That there will be such understanding there is no doubt. Prominent among the bankers present there was the head ot the Dowd house, in New York, which recently manipulated the corner in Hannibal and St. Jo, and prominent among the counsel was Mr. Southmayde, one of ex-Secretary Evarts’ part- ners. A HEARING WHAT GEN. RAUM EXPECTS TO DO. It was evident, however, that though the sys- tem of checks in making up deposits and the deduction made therefrom was the main point of difference which was being considered, still it was not the great cause of the whole disturb- ance among the banks. There was very little difference between Commissioner Raum and the banks in regard to the deductions to be made ‘on account of checks which are balanced in the clearing houses. Gen. Raum was very plain spoken, and said that his investigation had resulted in showing that the banks had made erroneous statements in their taxable returns; and he intended that the bal- ance due should be made (Snes “T ex to t = mito Lrresen he e banks which have Been investiga 1,” he it is prett; in that there have been erroneous: returns.” hhetne vestigation in Cincinnati has not yet been complet- ed. Some of the banks in New York and Boston have come forward and volunteered to make good their deficit in the matter of taxation as soon as | It can be definitely ascertained how much they are in debt to the government.

THE MICHIGAN SUFFERERS. NEW ENGLAND HIGHWAYMEN. Another Cheerful Day. SECRETARY LINCOLN CALLS ON THE PRESIDENT— ENCOURAGING ADVICES FROM THE SICK ROOM— CONFLICTING STATEMENTS OF THE PHYSI- CIANS, ‘Special Dispatches to Tax EVENING Star. Lona Braxcu, N. J., Sept. 14, 12:17 p. m.— The day is bright and cheerfnl. The President has had a good night and started out under the most favorable auspices. In addition to the usual nourishment given him hé ate for break- fast the better part of alarge pear sent by one of the guests at the Elberon Hotel. Soon after the morning dressing of the wound Secretary Lincoln was admitted to the sick room. SECRETARY LINCOLN’S CALL. The President readily recognized the Secre- ‘tary and extended his hand, which, the Secre- tary says, he shook more firmly than he ex- pected. The visit was entirely commonplace. The Secretary says that business was not alluded to and that the President said nothing that could be tortured into a great saying of a great man. Attorney General MacVeagh says the President is really in a much improved con- dition this morning. Doctors Bliss and Hamil- ton decided that they would not put the patient in THE INVALID CHAIR unless he made the request. The nurses are in- structed in case of such request to ring for the help, and tranefer him to the chair in the sheet upon which he lies. The President said just now that yesterday’s experience at the window, where he could see the green grass, the soldier walking his beat, the men and women in the summer house and walking around, the fisher- men at sea, the ocean and-the veseels, and the bathers in the surf, made-him feel for ‘the first time since he was shot that he was himself again. THE PATIENT'S CONDITION is in all respects pleasant, and) all the advices from the sick room more encouraging. It leaks out, despite the reticence of the doctors, that five pus boils were found on the President's back yesterday, which were punctured, and pus from each exuded. Dr. Boynton says while there may be no abscess on the President's lungs, there are several pus cells, and that he is afraid the lung will be the repetition of the parotid gland. It may be that THE LUNG DISTURBANCE can be readily overcome, but in chasing it away the liver or kidneys may become affected; still he is encouraged in the belief that the President will eventually recover. He says the President has chronic pyemia, and that the pus cellsfound in the back are the result of blood poisoning. Dr. Bliss, on the other hand, says the blood poi- soning has almost entirely been eliminated from the President’s system. A UNANIMOUS DENIAL. All the doctors deny that there is now or has been any paralysis of any bowel, and especially of the lower bowel. which was supposed to have been affected by frequent enemata. While the President was on the reclining chair yesterday he saw his daughter Mollie and Lulu Rockwell in the bath. Dr. Bliss says the President’s atti- tude in the chair was about 80 degrees. Dr. Boynton says the position was recumbent, and it was simply a change of couch. Second Dispatch, A TRIP TO FLORIDA PROPOSED. Lone Brancn, N.J., Sept. 14, 12:45 p.m.—Dr. Bliss says that if the President continues to im- prove, his recommendation will be to keep him here until the 10th of October; after that to get him on board the Tallapoosa and take him to Florida. By Associated Presa, ' A Good Morning Bulletin. THE PRESIDENT BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL. ELBERON, N.

SECRETARY LINCOLN HAS AN INTERVIEW WITH THE PRESIDENT—THE TEMPORARY RAILROAD TRACK. ELBEkon, N.J., Sept. 14, 11:40 a.m.—Secretary Lincoln just saw the President. He says he ex- pected to see a very ill man, and that his ex- pectations were realized. He had not seen the patient since the afternoon of the day he was shot, and of course a great change had taken lace since that time. The conversation be- ween the gentlemen was very brief andentirel iy personal, no business being referred to at all. The Secretary only remained in the sick-room about sixty seconds. At this hour the favorable conditions continue. THE TEMPORARY TRACK. At the request of Attorney General Mac- Veagh, the temporary track from the Central railroad of New Jersey to the Francklyn cottage will not be removed at present. HE ASKS FOR THE CHAIR. ELBERON, N.J., Sept. 14, 12:30 p.m.—The Pres- ident has just requested to be placed in his re- clining chair, and Messrs. Rockwell and Swaim have just gone to the cottage to remove him. ENJOYING THE SCENE. Exseron, N. J., Sept. 14, 12:30 p. m.—The President has been safely removed to his reclin- ing chair and is enjoying the scene yery much. After he had comfortably settled down in his chair he expressed a sense of gratification and remarked: “This should have been commenced three weeks ago.” The patient will remain in his chair until he requests to be returned to his bed. His head is elevated to an angle of about 25 degrees. IN THE CHAIR AN HOUR AND A HALF. Esenoy, N.J., Sept. 14, 2 p.m.—The Presi- dent has just been removed from his reclining chair to his bed, after remaining in the chair for an hour and a half, during which time he had a quiet nap. His head was elevated and his feet ete to dropto about an angle of 30 degrees. -. Bliss says he was rather reticent about being put back to bed. The disturbance did not change the pulse or temperature. At this hour his pulse is 104, temperature 98.8, respiration 19. ss as The Michigan Sufferers. A THRILLING APPEAL FROM THE NORTHWEST.

Crosby, pee of the Michigan fire relief committee this ca “ Port Huron, Micn., Sept. 14.—To Mi Fire Relief Committee, New York City: just emerged from burnt district. Have tray. over seventy-five miles of roads in it. The suf- fering and devastation is indescribable. Inmany places, as far as the eye can see along the land once occupied by comfortable hcmes and a pros- perous people, scarcely anything is visible but what seems a boundless sea of ashes, from which arises a stifling odor of burning flesh and bones. The blinded and fire crazed peo- ple abound. ‘Transportation is difficult and supplies come through slowly, especially at a distance from the shore and railway. A man is asked the whereabouts of his wife and children, and he stares wildly. He leaps at a loaf of bread and leaps away like a wild beast. Almost hourly the names of additional victims are added to the burned and to the death-list. Tht homeless are thousands; the blinded, scorched, crippled and deranged. ‘are very, very many. My own rela- tions are heavy losers, but still have abundance and to spare for others. They are all alive, but my mother and brothers will, I fear, lose their eyesight. Woeful want prevails and will be hard to supply. For God’s sake let not the blessed hand of charity be too soon stayed in New York. (Signed,) — J. 8. MacDonaLp, Secretary of New York Committee. Mr. Crosby stated that the committee for- warded over $1,500 to Michigan this morning, and that $5,000 more would be sent this after- noon. ———— Iroquois Wins Again. THE ST.

Andrews, of Boston, who was driving with his family ahead of the regular coach, which contained several passengers. The high- wayman was a large man, wearing a veil. RBe- fore the coach drove up he had stopped Mr. An- drews and compelled him to deliver $300 an watch. He also took a pin from Mrs. Andrews. He then allowed these persons to go on and ad- vanced upon the stage, but the driver of the latter started his horses and attempted to run him down. The robber fired his pistol several times, but was thrown to the ground by the horses. A passenger shot at him with a small revolver and he retreated to the woods, leaving the stage to go rapidly down the hill, the lead- ing horses breaking loose and running ahead. As soon as the stage reached Glen station word Was sent out to watch all the roads, and it ts possible the robber may be captured with two at the side of the road at the time of the rob- bery. a - Doesn't Do Business in That Way.
