Diause. Sir J. Pakington responded in the name of what ‘Was still left of the army. Its bravery, discipline and efficiency would be the same through all time. Tho policy of the present government was con- demned by all parties. To disconnect the army and reduce its force by twenty-lour thousand men was injudicious economy.

THE REDSKINS. Mr. Vincent Colyer’s Reply to General Sheri- dan—He Thinks the General Strikes Wildly at Him—A Mild Reproof Administered to “Little Pail? WASHINGTON, MARCH 9, 1870, The following 1s the letter from Mr. Vincent Col- yer, in reply to General Sheridan, on the subject of the recent attack on the Indan camp and killing of a number of women and children:— To Hon, Fetrx R. B Chairman, Pittsburg :— Sin—General Sher! ikes out at me almost as wildly ashodid at the poor Piegans, and with about as much jus tice. He says that in my extract from Licutenant Pease's report of the massacro, “in order to do injustice to Colonel Baker and to decelve a kind-hearted public T suppressod the fact that Colonel Baker took women and chil- dren prisoners. If the Geuerai thinks that it re- Heves ‘the blackness of the picture any to say that in addition to the piney. women and fifty children sick with the smallpox, killed, there were 100 women and children also taken prisoners I will add it now. Lieutenant Pease, I notice upon acl look, does not make it quite so bad as that. He says there were eighteen women and nine- teen children (none over three years and the majority much younger), some of whom were wounded and were taken risoners. i The Gene seems to quite forget that the same govern- ment which placed him in command of the military of the West appointed us to do our humane work among these Indians, and virtually makes it our duty to stand In front of these heipless, outcast women and children, and to say to any one who may attack them, cease your bloody work; these are not the gulity, Of the outrages aga! the poor settlers of the norder he asaya that I “want it to goon,” No, General, you know you are not justified in any such inference this. Because I pull aside the curtain and let the American People see what you call a “great victory over the Indians” it does not follow that we do not want the men who perpetrated the hurrid crimes you portray with so much zest justly punished. Strike, If you must strike, the gully not the Innocent. Faithfully yours, VINCENT COLYER.

Boston, March 9, 1870, The annual mecting of the stockholders of the Union Pacific Railroad was held tn this city to-day. The attendance was very large and @ lively interest was Manifested in the proceedings. Oliver Ames, of Easton, Mass., president of the company, occupied the chair, and after having called whe meeting to order he addressed the stockholders assembled as follows:— GENTLEMEY—Since the junction of the rails of the Union Pacitic Railroad with those of tne Central Pacitic Katiroad, ten months ago to-morrow, we nave been actively at Work putting our road up to the highest standard required by the various com- missioners that government have seen fit to sead over it to examine its structure and equipment. ‘The commission of eminent citizens last appointed to examoe our road commenced their work on the 14th of september last at vromontory, and arrived at Omaha on the 234, examtning the road, its depots, machinery, shops and equipment very critically. Lia concluding their exccedingly elaborate report, they say:— ‘Thin great line, tho value of which to the country Is ines tmable, and in which every citizen should foal a just pride, has ben built in about hale the time allowed by Congres, and Is now a good, reliable meang of communication between Omaha and Sacrainento, well equipped and fuily prepared to carry passengers aud fretyit with safety and despatch, com: pariug favorably iu this respect with a majority of the frst class roads in the United States, ‘The country 1s bow reaping the beneftt of this early completion of our road, and it is by no means certain that vhis earlier use of the road may nov re- pay all of our extra expenditures. Since the junc- Vion of our ras with those of the Centrai Pacific Rauroad last May we have employed a large force m_ widening embankments and cuts, putting in new culverts and bridges changing the bed of one of the rivers, by which we save & number of bridges. Our depots, Machine shops and station and eating liouses have been improved to mect the demands of business anticipated the preseut scason. We iiave apent during the past season upon show sheds and snow tences over $300,0W. We have now over tive miles of snow sheds and nearly fitty miles of snow fences, 1m addition to the large amount of snow fences put up last year. The experiment thus far this winter shows that our road can be run without any serious hindrance or obstruction from snow. ‘The snows of the present winter have been avout the same as last winter, and we have been but in one instance ob- structed over twenty-four hours. Our superintendent 1s contident that we can keep our road as free from obstruction by snow as are the roads of New Engiand and New York. We may now consider the “snow qusnbe 43 substantially settled, and this serious raw back to the vaiue of our road as a reliable win- ter route, which has taunted the fancy of the timid, as entirely dissipated. ‘The express business over oar road was fully investigated during last summer, and we came to the conciusion that it would be for the best interest of our road to dissolve our con- nection with Wells, Fargo & Co., and do tlils pust- ness ourselves. The results of the change have been to increase our receipts from this source about thirty per cent. above what we received from Wells, Fargo & Co. Kor the purpose of utilizing our telegraph lire we have made a con- nection with the Atlantic and Pacillc Teie- graph Company, through which we are getting @ large poriion of our teiegrapn service tree, and have the expecttaion of realizing ® handsome income trom the $3,309,000 of stock we receive of the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company for the use of our line for commercial pur- poses, We shail be under the necessity of putting up one or two additional wires should this company make & connection with the Central Pacific Company, as they now expect to do, and secure 4 fair share of the California business. ‘The point of permanent junction designed by the resolutions of congress to be in the vicinity of Ogden nas not yet been detinitely fixed. The Mormon occupation of the lands where it was desired to {1x our juncuonbas thus far prevented our obtaining sumicteat space to give to us the accommodations needed. A bill has been introduced into Congress to secure to the railroad nine sections of land about five miles weat of Ogden, on which tne two roads may establish their depots, machive shops and ail the necessary side tracks and accommodations required at the Junction of these two great nattoual roads. We expect this bil will 800n pass, and we shall at once enier upon the con- Struction of the necessary structures for tne accom- modation of our business. The earnings of our road for the nine months reported since it was opened amount to $6,300,000. We anticipate the ensuing year that the gross earnings of our road wili reach $12,000,000, and shall pot be surprised spouid whey largely exceed this sum. The net income irom this will pay all our interest, with a bandsome dividend upon our stock, suould we not need it for improve- ments upon our road.

The New York City Charter Finally Agreed Upon. The Charter Introduced Into the Assembly. Summary of Its Most Prominent Features. Passage of the State Ex- cise Law. ALBANY, March 9, 1870. A duplicate caucus was held this afcernoon on the New York carter. The Senatorial delegation, con- sisting of Senators Tweed, Bradley, Norton, Genet and Creamer, met at half-past three o’clock in Tweed’s room, in the Delavan House, ana the democratic delegation of the lower House met at the samo time in @ higher story— Speaker Hitchman’s room. There were present Messrs. Hitchman, Kiernan, Fields, Nachtma le Flanagan, Campbell, Cavanagh, Frear, Burns, Bergen, Irving, Mitchell, Cooke, Blair, Plunkett and Brown, Colonel Murphy was in the chair ana Peter Mitchell acted as secretary. It was at first re- solved that ths meeting should be a “consultation,” and not a caucus, and its proceedings not binding upon delegates; but ag the discussion waxed warm and the provisions of the new charter wero dis- sected, it was resolved, on motion of Mr. brown, that it shouid become a secret caucus, and that every member should pledge himself to stand by the deciston of the majority. ‘The charter came up from the Senatorial caucus im printed form ana was read by Mr. Hitchman. A snggestion was then somewhat vehemently made by Burns, supported by Tim Can- eid, that the Central Park Commission was not included in it REPUBLICAN INSTITUTIONS 10 BE ABOLISUBD, Jim Irviog was most demonstrative on the same subject and hammered away at it all through. Tom Fields, who, beng ® Park Commissioner, spoke by the book, of course, denounced the tdea of having the immeuse patronage of the Park in the hauds of the republicans, who were six to two on the Com- mission, He wanted it for the democratic party. Burns and Irving sawa job in the omission and wanted to Know tn what part of the fence the mig- ger was. ‘1m Campbell vowed that he would vote against @ny charter that did not abolish the Park Commission, and offered a resolution that an amena Ment should be fustantly made to that effecs before te bill was presented to the House. Senator Genet appeared af an early part of the Proceedings as a committee of one from the Senate caucus, asking that the bill should be presented in the House to-night, ‘The discussion took tia turniog point on this proposal and the absence of any refer. ence to the Park Commission. The talking was very stormy, the members evidently mtsunderstand- ing each other, Kiernan wanted every republican comission wiped out, but he wanted the bil read and all wie amenaments made section by section, and that delegates should not declare themselves independent of the action of the cancus, Denny Burns purled back the insinuation, If1t was meant for him he was not tobe misrepresented by Kiernan or any one else wio might favor the Park Commission. Kiernan denied that he favored the Commission or any re- publican commission, ana would be bound by the action of the majority under ail circumstances, whereupon Jim Irving grasped bis band and swore by Kiergan. The upshot of nearly three hours’ noisy discussion was that Campbell's mouon to add to the bill @ clause abolishing the Park Commision was adopted, The Chair appointed Hitcnman, Fields, and Mitchell to make te swendment, aud named Alex Frear.’as the man to present the bill to the House to-night, with instructions that it be referred to the New York delegation for further consideration and amendments, which was done at the evening session. There are many other points which are not satis- factory. It will undergo changes before the bill goes to the Legislature, but in its main features it seemed to be ace le wo the Assembiymen. The Park Cominisston and the Clause that no man shall hold two oftices were the bones of contention. The points 1 sent last nigat and published exclu- sively in the HERALD to-day comprise the main features Of the bill. The mayoraity term does not expire until Decomber, and in future charter elec- tions will take piace in November. All the republl- can commissions aro completely wiped out, ana the door opened for a muititude of democratic office seekers. Already some names are mentioned for Park Commissioners, such as A. H. Greene, the present incumbent, Judge Hilton, J. W. Gerard. S. L. M. Barlow, Henry L. Uoguet and J. Oswald Ottendor- fer. ‘hese gentlemen may be surprised at their premature appoiutinent.

The Governor wiil, no doubt, sign it without delay, and the Teutonic hearts will then be made happy. ONLY HALF A MILLION dollars are appropriated, in accordance with a bill introduced by Senator Morgan to-day, forthe Hud- son River State Hospital for the Insane, which is to provide an insane asylum for the counties of Clinton, Easex, Franklin, Warren, Washington, Saratoga, Albany, Renssalacr, Green, Columbia, Ulater, Duteh Orange, Sullivan, Putnam, Rockland, Westchester, New York, Kings, Queens, Suffolk and Richmond, This is pretty good, seeing that New York county has aiready paid some $400,000 or $500,000 toward building an asylum.

There 1s at this time @ great pressure brought to bear upon Gover. nor Hofman by many of his friends to send to the Senate the names of port wardens and harbor masters, but the Governor says that he is not dis- posed to do so until some use!ai result can come from 16, or, in other words, until the Senate isin a posi. tion to act harmoniously apon them. He has no desire to add any fuel to the fire now burning in the Senate Chamber. Moreover, although willing to oblige his friends, he reserves the rigat to act upon his own judgment, as well as to accept the responst- bility. PAWNBROKERS Will bo apt to find their extortions upon the poor considerably restricted if the vill introduced tuto the House by Mr. James Irving—one of the most watchful members in the interests of the poorer classes—shail become a law, and he has made up bis mmd that it shall if he can effect it. As the pawnbroking system 18 now conducteds the anjortu- nates who are compelled to use it are submitted to fearful imposition by the owters of pawnbrokers’ dens, in the matter of interest piled up on the Joans, which sometimes ainounts, in Course of time, to as minch as the loan obtalued upon the personal prop- erty pledged. Mr. Irving's bili is short, but compre- hensive, It reads a8 follows:— AN Acr to regulate the rate of interest to be charged by awnbrokors, KOTION L.
