The English journals publish a letter from Rio Janeiro received by the last steamer, in which the writer says :—“ The new Cabinet under the Viscount Itaborahy is inclined to peace and the great Majority of the people of Brazil are tired of the war with Paroguay and clamor for peace.” The*same correspondent asserts that the people of the Argentine Confederation are no less desirous of a termination of hostilities, and states that when the protocol of a new treaty of alliance with Brazil was recently submitted to the Argentine Congress it met with great opposition, and was in effect annulled. HAYTI. . Coufrmation of the Excesses Committed by Salnave—His Contemplated Flight. HAVANA, August 18, 1868, Advices from Port au Prince to the 10th instant have been received. The revolutionists had met with fresh successes, and were steadily gaining ground. Salnave recently committed some arbitrary excesses, which led toa protest on the part of the foreign consuls at the capt- tal. The British representative threatened, if the outrages were renewed, to order the English war Steamer in the harbor to bombard the city. It was reported that Sainave, flinding his position desperate, contemplated flight. His family and bag- gage were captured on board the steamer Sylvain, ‘which fell into the hands of the rebels. — Salnave Speculating on the Planters—His Outrages on Forcigners—Triumphal March of the Revolution. HAVANA, August 18, 1968. ‘We have still later advices from Port au Prince to August 10. « The planters of the republic have been compelled to sell their coffee to President Salnave’s agents at a very cheap rate. These latter make large profits on resales of this produce. The excesses committed on the peaceable inhabi- tants are of the most outrageous character. President Salnave seems to spurn the protests of the foreign consuls, who demand satis- faction for the injury done to the subjects of their respective governments. He is, however, contem- plating abdication and flight to Turk’s Island. The capture of the Sylvain, with Salnave’s baggage and family aboard, is confirmed. ‘The revolution seems to be triumphant.

It also states that furloughs have been withdrawn from regular officers, and the forces in the garrison have een ordered to hold themseives in readiness ata ‘moment's notice. OUR INDIAN TROUBLES. Horrible Outrages by the Indians in Kansas— Shocking Treatment of White Women—Re- ported Defent of the Savages, Sr. Lovis, August 18, 1868. A letter from Elisworth, Kansas, dated on the 14th inst., says:— On Monday, the 12th inst., a band of about two hundred Indians appeared on Spelimat creek, about sixteen miles nortiwest of Ellsworth. On arriving at the house of a Mr. Shaw they caught and ‘beat him unmercifally and drove him . The devils then caught Mrs. Shaw and her sister and ouiraged their persons, Some thirty or more of the savages continued to abuse these helpless women until long after the latter had become sense- less, After destroying Mr. Shaw's property the In- dians left the women for dead and proceeded to the house of Mr. Smith and beat him in the si man- ner, and outraged the person of his wife, leaving her in avery critical condition. Indeed, it ts feared that all the women who have been subjected to these out- rages are fatally injured. The red devils met and aoused several other citizens by beating them, and after destroying all the property within their reach they left forthe North, These poor women say that for five or six hours they were subjected to ow and they show feariul marks of the crueity of their captors. In their efforts of resistance they received ‘very serious injuries. ‘A detachment of soldiers was sent after the In- Qiins from Fort Harker, accompanied by fifty or fixty settlers, On Wednesday night they sent for reinforcemants, and on ‘Thursday a fuil company, under the command of Colone! Bente, started for the scone of the outrages. The latest report is that Colonel Bentine came upon the Indians, who had some ten of fifteen women surrounded In a house find that he had driven the Indians away; but ‘whether he killed any of them was pot ascertained. Those are probably the saine Indians who have beea murderin, find committing other outrages On Solo- mon cre LOUISIANA. Legislative—The Lottery BM! Become a Law— Metropelitan Police Bill. New ORLEANS, August 18, 1868, The Lottery bill, against which the presiding officers of both houses protested so strongly on sign- ing the same, has become a law without the gov- ernor’s signature, by lapse of time. Not satisfled with the bill passed some time since, vesting the control of the police affairs of this city in @ Board of Commissioners independent of the city authorities, another bill is now before the Senate creating a metropolitan police district, comprisin, the city and parishes of Orleans and Jefferson ant the parish of St. Bernard, providing that the powers and duties connected with and incident to the police pig rp and discipline in said district be vested in a Board of five commissioners, of which the Lieu- tenant Governor 1s io President, The Board is to appoint the superintendent, mapectors, cap- tains, surgeons, sergeants, patrolmen, clerks and doormen. ‘The commissioners are to be appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The advocates of the billsay that it resembles in most respects the Metropolitan Polive bill of New York. It contains the usual proviso that no one can hold even the most subordinate position created who is disqualifled to hold oMce under the fourteenth article or under the State constitution. The Board is empowered to provide such accommodations for itself as it may deem requisite and appoint special policemen at divcretion, The members of the Metro- politan Police force are empowered to discharge all constabulary powers, except civil process, in any part of the State. The Board is to select one of their own members as treasurer, to control the dis- bursement fund. It is also provided by this bill that the Board be empowered to pass enactments defining the powers and duties of the officers and members of this force, only providing that such en- actments do not conflict with this act or with the constitution o: the United States and this State. The bill makes it a misdemeanor, punishable with a fae and imprisonment, to use personal violence upon or abusive or threatening language to any member of thts force; provided, also, that all criminal pro- cess issuing from ony: court, justice or judge within the district be served by members of this force, and by them alone, and no constable or deputy sheriff shail hereafver attend such courts or be pald by any authority within said district. The Board 1s author- ized to exercise the powers now conferred on mayors of cities in respect to requiring the aid of the mili- tary; also to estimate the sums required for carrying out this law, and assess them upon the various cor- porations within this district, no appea’ being allowed trom their assessment, They are also empowered to lease or purchase anything they deem necessary for their accommodation, such purchase or lease to be a proper debt against the city corpora- tion; also to procure steamboats, horses or any means of conveyance they may deem necessary. ‘These extracts show the general tenor of the biit, An additional section offered yesterday, providing that the entire cost of this police servive shall not exceed $600,000 yearly, was voted down by a strict party vote. GEORGIA. Republican Mass Meeting—Specches by Sena- tor Hill, Governor Brown and Others— Ex-Senator’ Bradley’s Side Show—Electors to be Chosen by the Legislature. , ATLANTA, August 18, 1868, A republican mass meeting was held in this city to-day favoring the nominations of Grant and Colfax. A procession was formea in front of the Post OMice building, composed of about seven hun dred negroes and three hundred white men. Near the head of the procession was an express wagon canopied with the United States fag and orna- mented with flags and the names of Grant and Coifax. The wagon contained thirty-seven white girls, representing the several States of the Union, each dressed in white and waving miniature flags. ‘The procession marched through the principal street, with music and banners, to the City Hall square, where they were addressed by ex-Governor Joe Brown, James Johnson, Joshua Hill and others, Mr. Johnson spoke of the rule of the republican party during the past few years and of the magnitude of tue work it had performed; also of the arraign- ment of the party before the country by the insur- gents for one cause—taxation. He said the debt was createdto vanquish the party whose object was to perpetuate slavery and make it universal, and that the people conquered should be made to pay the debt. He characterized the war as an unmitigated wrong, and insisted that those who inau- rated the war should be made to pay its penalties. He said the Southern people were hostile to the United States govern- ment. He rejoiced that he had lived to see the day when not a slave existed in the United States, He said that the poor white man who coim- ee of the abolition of slavery ought to have hirty-nine lashes on his bare back. He defended the government for giving the ballot to the biack man—it was to secure them in their freedom; that the negro Was ignorant, and that was one reason that he should be allowed to vote to protect himself. WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, August 18, 1863, ‘The Rumors of War on the European Con- tinent. Arumor was circulated here yesterday and pub- lished in severat of the city papers and telegraphed hence that eable despatches had been received by one or botlr ef the diplomatic representatives of France and Prussia, smting that the rela, tions between these two Powers were about to be disturbed by war. The French Legation here regards this ramor as absurd and not worthy of serious contradiction; nor has the Prussian Minister received any information to that effect. There is nothing whatever in the relations of the two coun- tries, as far as known here, to justify such a conclu- sion, and there is authority for saying that no agents for the French government, as published, have been actively engaged in different parts of this country in purchasing horses and forage for shipment to France, Departure of General Rosecrans for White Sulpher Springs. General Rosecrans left Washington to-day for a brief sojourn at the White Sulphur Springs, in Vir- ginia, There were on the same train Generals Long- street, Ewell and Hunton. Cabinet Meeting—Collectors for Alaska and New Orleans. Secretary Schofield returned to Washington this morning and is to-day in attendance at the Cabinet meeting. All the other members, excepting Secre- tary Welles, are present. It is probable that the appointment of collectors of customs at Alaska and New Orleans is under consideration. For both of these positions there are numerous applications. The Rollins Trouble. A strong effort is being made by the candidates for Internal Revenue Commissioner to induce Rollins to tender a full and complete resignation, and it is by no means yet certain that he will not yield to the entreaties. Each candidate is particularly sweet on the Commissioner, and is using every means to get Mr. Roilins to resign in his favor. It is said Mr. Rollins has been offered a position as agent for the New England States for the National Life Insurance Com- pany, in which Jay Cooke ts largely interested. Mr. Rollins is anxious to accept this office, being sick and tired of his responsibilities as Commissioner and He referred to the intention of the democracy to make this a white man’s government, aud sald the choice was given to the Southern States in the fourteenth article to count the negroes and have them represented in the general government. Hon. Joshua Hill followed. He spoke of the good behavior of the masses; administered reproof to President Johnson tor threatening war over the shoulders of General Blair; eulogized General Grant 3 no usurping tyrant—“‘modest as a woman"—dis- tinguished among soldiers for administrative ability. He spoke of Mr. Colfax in the same strain. He spoke favorably of Mr. Seymour, although he had not @ personal acquaintance with him as had with the distinguished soldier associated with him on the democratic ticket. Chief Justice Joe Brown followed. He said he had not taken his oath of office nor received a commis- sion, hence there was no impropriety in his appear- ing on this occasion. He was sorry to think that after 80 a years of conflict and 80 few of o reference already been made to a reopening of hostilities, IfGrant and Colfax were elected there was no danger. The prestige of Grant, his determt- nation, his will, all precluded such an event. He read from Seymour and Blair's letters and speeches to show that war would ensue in the event of at- bomen to carry out their views. He said the negro would not surrender the it of suifrage without bloodshed. He did not believe the negroes would inaugurate bloodshed, but they might be goaded into it by the whites. (Cheers.) Other speakers followed. ir. A. A. popes the expelied colored Senator, got up a side meeting which drew @ large crowd. One colored speaker said he had no confidence in white men who say they are with us. He was for the negroes; he beiteved the white folks were for themselves. He said “the whites who jpretend to be for us wil! desert us in time of trouble,” and advised the negroes to stand by and for themselves, A heavy rain fell during the afternoon, and the Pra dispersed at four o'clock. About fifteen hundred colored and three hundred white men were present, some of the latter democrats. The Convention nominated as electors of the State at large Messrs. Ackerman and Farron. The Council at Atlanta have ined for the opera building for a State House, at a yearly rent of $7,000, The republicans have agreed in @ bill to elect electors by General A: NEW YORK. caucus to present embly.

ALBANY, August 18, 1868, Upon the request of the Governor, the undersigned Commissioners convened at Albany on the 17th inst,, and after careful deliberation make the foliowing announcement to the public:~ In view of the fact that the Commisioners ap- pointed in pursuance of chapter 740, laws of 1866, have the power fo act, and are directed to establish all such quarantine or other regaiations as they may deem necessary to prevent the spread of the disease “Rinderpest,” or other contagious disease, its transit in railroad cars, by vessels or by driving along the pub- lie highways; and also to appoint Assisiant Com- missio#ers, Whose duty it shall be to carry out such quarantime and other regulations, and who, in order to effect this, are clothed with all the power con- ferred by this act on the said Commissioners or their agents or appointees in order to obtain a perfect history of this disease for future use, and also to sub- serve most fully the purpose of this commission, thev have deemed it advisable to select the most practically scientific men in the State to act as such local Assistant Commissioders or health oiticers to carry out the intentions of the law and to preserve proper medical records, They have also appointed Assistant Commissioners for the various localities infected, or suspected of having been infected, or exposed to infection known as cattle disease, to the end that all_ persons dealing or having an interest in cattle in the various States shall be made acquainted with the measures which this board has deemed prudent to adopt, and in or- der that as little delay may be caused in the move- ment of such cattle or loss to the owners thereof as is consistent in the present emergency, it 1s believed that the sanitary and other authori- ties of adjoining States will act in harmony with this commission in poe carrying out measures Which it is hoped will speedily arrest the disease. General instructions will be given to all such assistant commissioners—varying, perhaps, slightly—depending upon the circumstances which may surround each locality, from tine to time changing such regulations as they may deem neces- sary to prevent the spread of disease or its transit by railroad cars or by driving along the public high- 3:— war —All cars containing cattle will be stop- at the most conveulent point on or betore entering the State, and if such cars are not in @ roper sanitary condition the cattle, even though nealthy, are to be disembarked and the cars thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, After the completion of this process, if the cat- tle continue healthy, they can be re- shipped. Such cars upon reaching such further noint or poiuts of inspection as may be designated by this Board will again be inspected, and it found unclean will be subject to such other stoppages, ex- amination, cleansing and disiniection as may deemed necessary.

Tne carcass of the ant- mal fiself should be either tried into taliow in the most approved manner or else, with the offal, &c., should be deeply buried. Cattle sick with this disease should not be slaughtered until, in the judg- ment of the Commissioner or his assistant on the spot, they are past recovery. The well cattle exposed to this disease should be removed from the cars to some distance and furnished as above directed with a suficiency of water and food, with salt at will, and kept under a proper surveil- lance for such a period as may be directed from time to time, all places or yards or fields in which cattle are sick or in which cattle having been ex- posed to the disease are to be kept disinfected, The sick cattle and all such as have been exposed to disease, and in which the disease may be incubat- ing, should be kept in an enclosure separated ‘from all well cattle by a neutral ground of at least one thousand feet. All cattle yards or places in which diseased cattle or cattle exposed to disease muy have been must be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected before painle. aaain used for the herding of other cattle.

ALEEN. DISASTROUS FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA, m the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, Aug. 18.) Oract two orelock this morning the private watch- man on the eastern side of Front street, between Race and Vine streets, discovered smoke issuin, from the crevices of the iron shutters on the secon floor of the extensive fireproof buliding on the south- west corner of Front and New streets. The fire, in consequence of the combustible nature of the con- tents, burned rapidly, and in @ few minutes the building from the second story up was in flames. The firemen were unable to get water on the flames, owing to the impossibility of breaking open the iron shutters, and they had to content themselves with play the aqueous fluid over the walls and roof and the surrounding property. The flames in the burning building were not quenched until the whole of the upper part was destroyed, and nothing is left this morning but the first floor and the walls, which had been well built. The origin of the fire is @ mystery at present, but the supposition is that it was caused by spontaneous combustion, a8 the floor on which the flames were first seen contained an excvedingly large quantity of wooi and cotton. ‘The batiding consisted of two compartments, four stories in height, separated by @ stout wall and tron doors. The larger one waa forty-three feet on Front street, and about one hundred fage on New street; and the smailer one about the samé width, and sixty feet on New street. The Front street structure was the one tn which #0 much damage was inflicted, the partition wall and tron doors saving the rear one, ‘This latter building was occupied by Collins & Kobb, provision and commission merchants, as & storehouse ey lid on hand about two hundred thousand pounds of shoulders, one hundred and aixty Kegs of lard, seventy-five cases of hams, forty harre!s boof hams, and twenty-five barrels of smoked beef, on which there was an insurance of $10,000, which wilt, ft fs believed, cover the loss.

SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, The Councihnanic Violation of Mandamus Attachments Issued Against the Members ef the Board. Before Judge Barnard. O'Brien, Lamb, Perley, Heinrick and Ivans, Re- lators, vs, The Board of Councitmen of the City of New York, Respondents.—In the early part of the present month an application for mandamus was made by these relators, who claim to have been regularly elected Councilmen of this city, requiring the Board of Councilmen to admit them to the full exercise of their duties and privileges, the Board having previously refused to recognize them. ‘The application was ‘not opposed and mandamus was |. At a subsequent meeting of the Board the Mandamus was disobeyed, the relators’ demand for admission was ignored and the matter re- ferred by the Board to the Corporation Counsel for his opinion. Several days since Mr. O'Gorman transmitted his opinion to the clerk of the Board, in- forming them that the relators were legally and properly entitled to admission; that the ‘man- damus was properly issed, and that the refusal of the respondents to obey it would subject them to imprisonment or other punishment. The writ of mandamus was returnabie on the 17th instant, an yesterday morning, on proof of service of the wri and its subsequent violation, and on the certificate of Richard C, Beamish, clerk ut Chambers, that no return had been filed, Ira Shafer, counsel for the relators, applied to the court for attachment against the members of the Board. Judge Barnard directed that non-bailable attachments, returnable forthwith, be issued against the respondents, and it is probable that by the time this report is in print a large ma- Jority of the members of the Board of Councilmen will be either out of the city or in durance vile. The tableau about the City Hall will probab!y be com- ~ largely of peg Councilmen, with pursuing Deputy Sherifts in their wake. The Credit Mobilier and Pacific Railroad Suit—Attachment Vacated, James Fisk, Jr., vs. The Union Pacife Railroad Company and the Credit Mobdilier af America.— An attachment was recently issued in this case against a witness named Tuttle for failure to appear before the referee to give testimony to be used against the defendants on the plaintiff's motion to continue the original injunction. Yesterday morning the case came up ona motion to vacate the attach- ment, on the ground that this court had not juris- diction and that the United States ¢ourts alone had cognizance, The motion was opposed on the ground that this would apply only so far as the defendant, the Union Pacific Railroad, was concerned, that corporation having been chartered by the act of Congress, while the other defendant Was incorporated under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. Mr, Field appeared for the plaintit® and Mr. Fullerton for the defendants, and after argu- ment the court granted an order to show cause, returnable this morning, why the attachment should not be set aside, at which time it was also understood that a motion for the removal of the cause for trial to the United States Court and for in- junction and receiver would be heard. While coun- sel were engaged in private conversation one of the defendants’ attorneys rose and said he supposed the attachment was set aside, and handed a paper to the , Which was returned with an endorsement va- x the order. The affair astonished some of the counsel.
