THE INDIANS. Arizona Apaches Going Upon Reservations Indian Marauders from the Kio Grande Protected by Mexican Officials, WasHineTon, August 16, 1871. The Secretary of the Interior to-day recetved the following despatch from Vincent Colyer, dated Santa I'6é, New Mexico, August 15:— Roving Apaches are rapidly coming tn. There are 1,200 at Cornudos de los Alamos and 600 at Fort Stanton. Cochise has beea beard from. Runners have been sent out from different points, giving the Apaches @ fair waruing that i they want peace they must come to the reservation designated. The Utes are seriously discontented and should be promptly attended to. The Navajoes are quiet, They have over forty thousand sheep. and will be self- sustaining in @tew years. The Puebla schools are well attended. I leave with Superintendent Pease tor Cornudos de los Alamos this moruing. ‘The Secretary of the Interior has received from the War Department extracts from a letter of the Commanding General at the Lepartment of Texas in relation to the removal of the Kickapoo Indians now 1n Mexico, on the reservatton north of the Ked River, which further shows the agency of the Mexi- can oiticials in preventing a return of those Indians to the United States and the Soeeepemene given to their depredations on this side of the frontier. General Reynolds says he has just returned from an official visit to Forts Clark and Duncan and the ad- jacent Rio Grande frontier. The people in that ‘State are fully informed as to the con- duct of the Mexican ofiicials in pre- venting the return of the Kickapoos to United States territory. They have been retained in Mexico by bribes of money and goods, as set forth in the report of Agent Mills. ‘The depredations on live stock continue unabated. gMarauders, with their stolen stock, have been traced time and again to the Kio Grande, and he is reliably informed that parties in pursuit can often see from the north side of the river their stock in the po: of other parties, collected in convenient droves on the side of the river tor sale or distribution to toe interior of Mexico. This gradual but heavy loss of property is, he says, very discouraging to the people. They are becoming reckless, hot to say desperate, and seeing the determinatiou of the Mexican officials to retain (ue Kickapoo Indiaus in Mexico as acloak for the real deeds of the Mexican people, they talk now quite freely of organizing themselves into an armed band and Crossing, into Mexico to recover their stolen property. This feeling 18 untversal on the frontier since the recent gy std with regard to the removal of the ickay Indians, The ranchemen live from ten to thirty mtles apart, and incursions from the south side of we Rio Grande in small parties canbot be prevented by a reasonable force In Texas, unaided by any force, civil or military, from. tne Mexican side. General Reynolds adds:—“It ts believed that these depredations can be effectively and perman- ently stopped by pursuing fhe marauding bands into Mexico with troops, accompanied by the owners of the stock.’?

AMUSEMENTS. WALLACK’S THEATRE—Tas BLUE BRARD Bur- LEsQus.—The very mention of the name of Blue Beard to the Western or Caucasian races serves to awaken and excite their magination, There are two books which have mastered whe intellect of childhood during the pag thtee generations since books have plentiful. These two books are““The Arabian gts” and “Robinson Qrygoe.’’ All men are anil enildren STO" Yip, aid ine power of the sp spell of that Mosi fascinating of books, the “Arabian Nights,” hangs over civilized mankiad like a deep vell which is often lifted, but when replaced makes life as seen through the siove-like perfora- tions to resemble @ dream or @ picture seen from afar on & mountain top. The story of Biue Beard and his six wives waa known long before the Mormons became blessed with the inheritance of Salt Lake; before Joe Smith was cradled or pistoled to death by Missourt bor- der raMans; and when Henry the Eighth took Oatharine of Arragon to his royal bed it ia just possible that the dim tradition of Blue Beard evolved from the mysterious ana shadowy Kast, as it was told for ages previously in Merry England by Saracen story tellers, may nave suggested to the kingly profligate a sudden and cer- tain way for the taking off of all those women who acted as his temporary wives, to finaily follow in the footsteps of the first victim, Anne Boleyn, as far as Tower Hill and the executioner's axe. Search as we may we find no positive or credible origin for the story of Blue Beard, and no one, with Perhaps the exception of the half dozen of German and Hungarian savans who ait In the alcoves of the Astor Library, dressed shabbily and eating their scanty lunches from greasy newspapers under the tables in the intervals between their perusal of those musty quarto tomes in the Hebrew text, could be expected to trace the derivation of the tradt- tionary nursery tale which 1s told to-day tochilaren in every household in Europe, Suffice to say, the modern world, collectively and individually, 1s con- versant with the story, as fascinating and lasting as anything told to Sultan Scherzerade in his seragllo. Last evening every seat in Wallack’s Theatre— despite the intense heat—was packed by an audienco of New Yorkers whose expectancy rose to a zenith when the first bars of the overture to” ‘Blue Beard’? reached their ears and the curtain rose and disclosed @ fair and handsomely painted picture of the “Vil- lage of Bishmullah at Sunset,” with the usual num- ber of Eastern houris, having khol-stained eyebrows and henna-pped inger nails; pages in velvet em- broidered jackets, short gauzy trousers adorned with silver tissues, and their throats surrounded with ded ET The picture was so thoroughly riental in its aspect that we expected every mo- mént to hear the chorus cry out with unanimous throats, “Allah, Akbar! God is great and Mauomet 1s his Prophet;'! but they did not. Miss Lydia Thompson, her blonde yellow hair clus- tering around her weil-shaped head, came on the Stage amid-a clash of brazen instruments, looking as she always does, sumptuous as a princess gnd vastly improved by her ocean voyage on the return bi from Europe. the American mind craves burlesque, and the immense audience at Wallack’s last evening is an evidence vat it does, it 1s better that it should be gratitied by the toler of acting in that speciaity—aud perfection in burlesque is only found on this side of the Atlantic in the person of Miss Lydia Thompson, who last evening magnetized thousands of people who never saw her before. Miss Thompson was the Selim of the evening. This rollicking, seductive and dare-devil character was the gem of the performance, Lydia Thompson has the first great quality for a successful actress—a fine face and a noble person and a figure face, with hair and eyes that fll the space on the stage walch she occupies more tho- roughly than any actress of to-day. Added to these quailfications and embellishments she has a plea- sing voice and-an éium and vim that are most refreshing. Miss Hetty Tracy, a very pleasing and pretty member of the company, having the same complexion and seeming nearly of ihe same 8iz@ a8 Miss Thompson, and dressed nearly like her as Hassan the page, Was received on her entrance by @ perfect rain of bouquets, fower baskets and fioral wreaths; but the mistake was corrected when the rea: star of the evening came up to the footlights, and a second shower of horticulture greeted her with @ salvo of Cg and a tornado of hand clapping. Altogether if was a reception which would have been ample compensation for any amount of sea sickness cucountered on an ocean voyage; but we believe that the Queen of Burlesque never gets seasick, and no One could velieve Ute tA” At AS PS Se to Poll.” This dasning and vivacious bahad alone would be suilicient to carry the most wretched bur- lesque through a succession of wet nights, and those who heard {t last evening certainly enjoyed an original sensation, Two other persons must be cred- ttea with ariane ne honors of the eveulng besides Miss Thompson. These two were Mr. Harry Beckett, who took upoa hig shoulders the weighty respon- sibility of the character of blue Beard, and Mr. Joho Eaduia, who piayed the part of Corporal. Zoug-Zoug, ninee, i Beckett's the reformed Heathen gtrous make-up Was so perlect Xagge that it excited tne Opre: Ol every one present in tne theatre, sid his Teally tafeful and excellent acting was fully commensurate with his extraordinary make-up. The Chinese dance and song of Mr, Edouin was something so strange, novel and foreign to our New Yorkers that many were stupetied at first and did not know whether to cry or laugh until the absurd antics of the actor convulsed the house with sudden enthusiasm, and then all douvt was forgotten in the wila clash of cymabals so fechas Eastern in its fanfaronade, and the stage seémed to dissolve and fade away, and people saw Shanghae, Foo-Chow and Can- ton, wilh conical roofed houses, sharp mina- reis, Chinese junks and solemn mandaring with large abdominal developments suddenly appear in the mind’s eye like the pictures on the retina of a camera. Mr. W. H. Montgomery was the Irish “O’Shacabac” of the night; and, though his part was a small one, what he did was well done, and his brogue was very fair and not at all the hideous ruffian brogue with which some actors bespatter the Irish accent and character. The ladies of the troupe, particularly Miss Uam- milie Dubois and Miss Carjotta Zerbini, who sang With remarkable freshness; Miss Hetty Tracy, Miss Tilly Earl, Miss Kate Heathcote, Miss ‘Nellie Cooke, Miss Lotta Mira and Miss Kate Egerton, dressed well, looked well and did all they could to make the piece run smoothly, And Mr. Michael Connolly, the musical director, a most painstaking and careful artist, did more than any other person to add to the zest of the evening’s enjoyment, the music being ail new and well selected at a'ver: short notice. One thing more can only be said. ‘There are more than two or three celebrities In New if. local allusions are to be made ima bur- lesque, and a change of names in the allusions nightly woud do no harm.

Mr. Jack has seiected “The Last Man” and @ portion of :‘Henry IV.” as the pieces in which he. will present himself to hig friends on that occasion, In the former he essays the part of Geoffrey Dale, in which he justly claims to be the only successor of Mr. Blake; in the second he will play Faistaf, which he has madea specialty, and in which he will shortly be without a rival. A number. of prominent actors and actresses have volunteered their services for the performance, among whom are Charles McManus, Theodore Ham- itton, Pauline Markham, who will sing an entirely new song, and Signor Operti. PARK THEATRE, BROOKLYN—UNDER THE WIiL- Lows.—An excelient sensational drama, with this title, was presented at the Park Theatre on Monday evening. It was well mounted and carefully played, The house was filled in every part by a most appre- ciative and enthusiastic audience. The interest never lagged, but was maintained throughout, which, aiter all, 1s the best proof of the merit of a Piece. As usual, at this favorite theatre, the actors were painstaking and effective, and were liberally rewarded with applause. Mr. Mark Bates sur- prised even his warmest admirers, while Mr. Lamb ‘Was, as ustial, edcellent. Mr. Chippendale richiy deserved the warm expressions of approval that greeted his efforts. Aitogether the ptece proved genuine success, and, no doubt, will continue to tract crowded houses while the management keep it on the stage. WEATHER REPORT.

BLAINE. Grand Ovation to Speaker Blaine at Saratoga. — An Eloquent Address Upon the Political egues of the Day—Strong Defence of the Republican Party—What Has Beon Effected Under President Grant's Adminisiration—The Democracy Reviewed—The New Democracy Defined—Severe Ex- Coriation of Tammany Lead- ere—Republican Econo- my Versus Tamma- ny Extravagance. Saratoga, August 16, 1871, Upon an tnvitati on of distinguished citizens and Sojourners of Saratoga, Speaker J. G. Blaine, of the House of Representatives, now visiting the Springs for rest and recreation, addressed them on the no- litical issues of the day. It became generally known throughout the day that such a treat was in store, and at an early hour of the evening the immense piazza of the Grand Union was fillea with ladies and gentlemen. The crush of silks and satins was of such a nature that one stood appalled at the ruinous sacrifice of so much costly materials; but each and all were in the best possible humor and awaited with com- mendable patience the arrival of the orator and his escort. At fifteen minutes of nine o'clock Wagner's band marched up Broadway, and, taking @ central Position in the street, serenaded the gentleman, When at nine o'clock precisely he appeared, acccm- panied by Charles E. Smith, of Albany; Judge William A. Sackett and B, F. Judson, Juage Bockes and Mr, Marvin, ot Saratoga, together with other notables from many of the States, When Speaker Biaine was recognized the crowd that had now blockaded the wide street cheered him lustily. So soon as the music had ceased Judge Sackett stepped to the railing of the balcony and thus introduced the speaker to the citizens and sojourners of Saratoga:— “I have the pleasure of introducing to you James G. Blaine, Representative and Speaker in the House of Representatives, a gentleman elected by the peopie, who will to-night speak to you upon the political duttes of the day,” Speaker Blaine then came forward, and, mounting achatr, was received with renewed cheers. After this ovation had subsided he said:— SPEAKER BLAINK'S SPEECH, GENTLEMEN—To so much of thi3 ovation as may be personal to myseif I tender you my most grateful thauks. I came hither, as you all did, to enioy the rest, tne recreation and the invigoration of this most delightful resort, and I am very sure that the quiet of my stay 1s not broken by this vast con- course of people for the mere purpose of paying 8 personal Conn PIERRE to 60 humble an indi- vidual as myself. Holding, as I do at present, a position of responsibility in connection with our national government, I am forced to infer that the mere fact of your assembling 18 an invitation tor me to speak to you, however briefly, upon the political questions and issues of the nour. And yet at the very outset, gentlemen, I fecl compelled to say that there never seemed to me to be a time in our his- tory when there is less need of speech, or when facts of public record, and patent to every one, carried with them so fully their own argument and enforced so clearly their own conclustons, The two Pied parties between whom the American people divide their sympathy and their support must be judged, not by their projessions, but by their acts, where each is in authority. ‘The repub- licans are in full power at Washington; the demo- crats bear undisputed sway in New York. Need I draw the picture which this brace of facts suggests to every intelligent mind? Iu Washington every dollar that can be saved above current expenses is faithtully applied to the reduction of-the national debt. In New York every dollar that can be raised or wrung from the gaining tax- payers above current expenses tis faithfully applied to the beneilt of a private ring of political specula- tors. In Washington we have witnessed with amaze- ment a admiration id Lf our national debt at the rate of ong hundr loMs per annum, tn New York we Bete ita With wong erhation and alarm the increase of the muyicipal sey % such a Fale as would involve at no long per! he bank- rupte: ud ruin even of that gigantic metropolis, with fis iinmense resources and its fabulous wealth. It seems but yesterday that General Grant was in- augurated, and yet in the brief period that has since elapsed $250,000,000 of our debt have been paid—a sum equal to more than one-eighth of our entire bonded debt as it exists at this hour; and this payment, be it remembered, has been made while laxes were repealed that were yleiding $80,000,000 per annum whep neral Grant oe into wer. Look at NOW .York chy dur the’ “same perlod—its. bondéa debt incre to such ®& Mammovi extent tinat the au- thorities dare not confess the actual amouiit. Tax levies are all the while heaped up beyond the imagination of honest men, aud a scale of corrupt expenditures maintained that challenges the cre- dulity even of those who are best acquainted with the audacity of Tammany Hall. I do not desire, gentlemen, to be understood as making a random and reckless cbarge, inculpating every democrat in the land and paging: him respon- sible for the corruptions in New York. I have too much respect for tdividual members of that party, and trust, J may say, that I have too many trends within the ranks of that party, to permit me to make so unjust an accusation, But this I do say, ana I address it especially to honest democrats, that the source of power and the controlling guld- ance of Cad are in just such hands as have been gullty of the gross frauds recently exposed in New York. Without the aid and leadersmp of Tammany tt would be impossible for the democrats to carry the State of New York; and without tho State of New York their chance in the Presidential contest of 1872 18 not worto reckoning, and they well know it. I go further, rg and aver that the power of Tammany, with its yo in the North, and the power of terrorism tn the south, are the wea- pons relied upon by the democratic leaders to carry the national contest next year; and if it were not for this, we should have to-day absolute ee, Uhrough- out the length and breadth of the land. Way, I ask, is there not as much supremacy of law, as much civil order, as taorough protection of life and pro- erty inthe South to-day as there ig in the North? hy is there more disturbance between the Potomac and the Rio Grande than there iy between the Potomac and the St. Lawrence? 1 answer, simply because it is not the interest of the democratic party to haveitso, I answer, simply because it 13 the interest of the democratic party that such a condition of attairs shall be maintained in the South as shall ye @ fair, full, unre- strained vote of the whole people. And I do not charge this responsibiitty wholly upon the demo- cratic party in the Southern States, They are the immediate actors; but the responsible endorsers are in the North, Ifthe Northern democratic party to-day sincerely, honestly and carnestiy willed it, there Would be aa end at once of Ku Klux outrages in every Sou‘hern State. Nay, gentlemen, as in the olden time ten rghteous men migit have turned the wrath of Goa from the doomed city ot the plain, so, this day, and this hour, | believe, [ could name ten leading aspirants ior the Presidential nomina- ton of the democracy, whose united and righteous appeals for peace in the South would produce peace In the South. And tlus brings to the test the sincerity of the ‘new departure.” Aud what ts the “new departure 7” Why, certain constitutional amendments being ad- judged necessary to secure the full fruits of our vic- tory over the rebellion, and these amend nents hay- ing been regularly Sacpted by the requisite two- thirds in both ‘branches of Congress and the ratification of three-fourths of the States, the democracy refused to abide by them, In several instances every democratic member of Congress voted against resolutions in the House declar- ing these amendments to be of binding force—the last vote of this kind being given so lately, L think, as April of the present year. But the late Mr. Vallandigham and a few others, discover- po Sid this attitude of the democracy was incipient rebellion, called @ halt, and the party ip the Norsn generally obeyed, Tesolving that upon the whoie they would agree to submit to the constitution of the United States. And this law-abiding spirit being 30 unusual with that party and the sensation of constl- tutional obedience so novel with them that, with @ keenness of wit and a reac: tive sarcasm apparently not appreciated, by themseives, they with oue consent called it the **New Departure.” But we must be pardoned for a jittie incredulity as to the full sincerity of the “new departure” until we see it bear frait, When every man in the United Staves enjoys his full right to pro- perty, nis full protection ta persona, aud his undis- turbed, unmenaced right of suitrage, and all this by the co-operation of the democracy, we will begin to have some faith in the purity and the sincerity of the sudden conversion of that party. Until then we wilt pray and ho for the best, and yet all the while be tortured with distrust. In ilustration of my own feelings you will pardon me ff I narrate a homespun anecdote which came to my lips when the Mame democracy made their new sealer A plous old deacon of the Free Will Baptist Church hind a scapegrace of a son, who gave lim @ vast deal of troubie, and who, after years of misconduct and bad morals, ran oil and was upheard of for several years. Finally, whea the old genveman was well advanced tn itfe and bis property shad to be dls: Lot the son turned up, professing to be a thorougniy reformed man and an exemplary member of the Churob, The old man was of course delighted and eager to belteve in his son's sincerity, but withal a Shade distrustful, In order to assure himself he subjected his son to a personal examination, to as- certain the “evidences” of bis conversion, as tho theologians term it. When the examination was concluded the ola man said, “Joshua, you answer well; your evidences seem good, and I sincerely trast you have met with a change of heart, but be- fore God 1 sttit have harrowing doubts,"” But the lst of democratic offences is not eX. hausted, Respoasivie for tue continued disorder ia the sonth, thelr recent conduct in ¥ of New York threatens that most angerons et, St outien excitements—a war of ae ‘and of la.

In our domestic policy we deciare for the equal rights of all men before the law—knowing no caste, no creed, no color, but only and simply the tnaltenable and indestructible mghts of American cltizen- pp as prociaimed in the Declaration of Independence and decreed in the constita. tion of the United States, as it now is; for until the thirteenth, fourteenth and fitteenth amendments were adopted the federal constitution did not embody the doctrine of human rights a3 set forth im the immortal Deciaration. in our foreign policy we rest the honor of the government upon peace and prestige—the brostige Which commands peace—the peace which adds to our FFs Our a history from the first inaugurati of Washington down to the presout hour contains no other chapter so brillant as that which records the recent treaty with Great Britain.

When we reflect on the nameless and unimaginable misery and wretchedness inflicted on hundreds of thousands by the late war between France and Prussta, the vast number that were alain, the still vaster number less kindly dealt with in thetr crael_ wounds and maim- ings, the hardly less cruel buraen of debt and tax falling upon all atike, we may in some faint degree Measure the blessings of a policy that avoids war and secures @ peace foundes up mn justice and upon honor, Our utiferences with Engiand were of the gravest possible character; those between France and Prussia were but trivial in comparison, The latter were settled by an appeal to arms anda fright- ful war.

Yesterday Dis- trict_No. 1 of the Workingmen’s Labor Union as- sembled ana appointed a commitiee, composed of Henry W. Evans, John Barnes, John Halvey, Johu Meredith and Thomas Edmonds, to enter the mine and inspect the condition now and inform them- selves, aa best the circumstances and evidences will admit, of the character and cause of the disaster, The committee have invited Mr. Thomas P, Williams, the old engineer of the mine, to accome any them. In a conversation with Mr. Barnes, who ja the Peg of tue district, he informs us that Henry Harris, the present mine boss, refuses to ellow one of the committee, Henry W. Evans, to go into the mine \o examine it, because Evans is well acgainted with tt, and has cautioned ‘Tis hereto- fore against the danger of working under the sys- tem of ventilation when the accident occurred. The committee postponed their investigation until to-morrow on account of the funerals to-day. Mr. Tompkins, the operator, on account of severe sickness, which has contined him to his house for the greater part of the last ten months, has not been down into the mines during this whole time, and 1¢ would appear that since the inspector has not. visited if the mine boss has had full control of the working and ventilation.
