Yore, It preferred to make s poor hibition of jealousy and envy by question- fing the authenticity of the letters, and at the ame time displayed its ignorance of proper per management by suppressing their Poblieation in its own columns altogether, thus lagging behind every paper in the city in a news matter of especial interest. Similar blunders are, in fact, made nearly every day by this imported Cheap Jack jour- nal, Instead of reproducing the HxRaxp's important news from Africa, concerning which all the world is excited, it gratified its jeal- ousy by sneering at a great enterprise which ‘it never had the brains to conceive or the means to prosecute, In like manner the spe- ‘cial HeRaLp despatch from St. Petersburg, giving the first information of the position ‘taken by Prince Gortschakoff and the Russian government in the Catacazy controversy, was ignored by the Cheap Jack journal, whose readers are to-day ignorant of the important ‘events that are taking plave at the Russian capital. If the stockholders of that paper ahink that its conductors know anything about “mewspaper management they will before long ‘be likely to receive practical evidence of their error. In these‘days of vast enterprise, libe- ral expenditure and broad independence in the newspaper press, success can never attend a journal that sacrifices news to personal jeal- pusies; and hence the Cheap Jack journals, although for a time kept afloat by political or personal efforts, must eventually go to the wall, Asrounpina Crvuetry to Dump CrEA- TuRgs.—In order to prevent interference by Mr. Bergh in the oyster slaughtering business of this city the following notice is prominently posted in the Astor House restaurant :— “Oysters chloroformed and opened 2 la So- wiety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals,” When it is known that one veteran Ful- iton Market oyster dealer alone confesses to the plunging of the ruthless oyster knife into the very hearts of sixty-one million three hundred and twenty thousand innocent bivalves during his business career it is time that something should be done to stop this nvholesale massacre of one of the most harm- Jess creatures in the world.

Kep WILLOW CREEK, Neb, Jan, 14, 1872, After a dash of thirty miles on horseback over the Western prairie tiis Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Alexis and the whole distinguished hunting party have returned to camp, bringing their tro- Phies and their honors witn them, The Grand Duke has shown himselt to be a thorough and successful sportsman. His noble bearing, his splendid horse- manship and his battle with the buffalo of the frst day's hunt have won for him the unbounded admt- ration of every member of the select and gallant company who witnessed them. His Imperial High- ness has been looking forward to this occasion with Special interest, and his anticlpatuous have thus far been fully realized. A SPLENDID SCENB. More sport, however, awaits him. To-morrow is to be the grand chase, in which all are impatient to participate; and with the Grand Duke and Shert- dau and Custr in iull gallop at the head, followed by the other guests who compose this imperial hunting party, as well as by Spotted Tall, Pawnee Killer, Red Leaf, Whistler and other less celebrated chiefs, with their bands of ambitious Indian bevies, will constitute a Scene such as never has been wit- nessed in these broad, unbroken prairies, ALEXIS KILLS THE FIRST HORNED MONSTER. But already the ambition of the imperial sports- man has been partially gratified; and the special carrier, Who carries this @espatcn for the HERALD to the nearest telegraph station, also bears a cable telegram frum Alexis to his father, the Emperor, in St. Petersburg, announcing that he had killed the first wild horned monster that met hls eye on the plains of North America, THE RIDE TO THE RED WILLOW CREEK, Afcer we left the railroad station at North Platte yesterday morning tor the boundaries of the Red Willow, where we are now encamped, we made a swift and splendid run over the frozen prairies to this place, with no road to mark the way, but only with “Bugalo Bill” as a guide. BUFFALO BILL LEADS THE WAY—HIS ACHIEVEMENTS. Builalo Bill 13 aiamous Western scout, employed by Sheridan for Indian service, and one who ts eficient and reliable, Bill is about thirty years of CAMP ALEXIS, | age, 8 over six feet in height and with other proportions. He has a pleasing face and. fine address, and would have been prominent in other walks of life had not circumstances made bim famous as a Western hunter. The tales thatare told of Bufaio Bill's hunting experiences since he was old enough to ride a horse—for Bili Was born, and brought up on the Plains—are truly wonderful to hear related, as they are, around our blazing camp fires, and in the presence of all the parapnernalia of frontier life upen the Plains. Bill was dressed im a buckskin suit, immed wiih fur, and wore a black slouch hat, his long hair hanging in ringlets down his shoulders, ALEXIS AND LITTLE PHIL IN A WAGON, As he dashed out from the railroad station ae was followed closely by the Grand Duke and Geue- ral Sheridan tn an open wagou, drawn by four powerful horses, which carried the two als- tinguisued representatives of two powerful ations at a fearful rate of speed over the rugged prairies. Tie remainder ofthe party, in army ambulances, Kept hard atter Sheridan and Alexis, aud all.had an excellent opportunity of appreciating, to some extent, the style of traveling here in the days of the old overland stage coaches before the Continent was spanned with iron rails, and princes and gen- erals and otaer people of high degree came out in silver palace cars to go sporting on the Piains, THE FIRST HALT AND LUNCH. Anhalt was made at the Medicine River, where horses were changed aud a light lunch of sandwiches and champagne was speedily dis patched. Soon, however, when we resumed our run, the speed with which we were proceeding produced such effects as broken springs and spokeless wheels. Our course was a little southwest, and the distance over fifty miles. Just before the sun nad sunk below the distant hills, and as we ascended some rising ground, we came tn full view of a splendid military camp. THE STARS AND STRIPES ON THE PRAIRIES. The Stars and Stripes were seen flying from a towering flagstaff on a broad pmteau on the bank of Red Willow Creek, A cheer arose from every member of our party as this scene burst upon our sight. A few mo- ments more and the band of the Second United States cavalry was playing the Russian hymn, while Sheridan assisted to alight the honored guest of this magniticent camp, which bears nis imperial name. It was not long before most of the remainder of athe party had alighted and formed @ picturesque group around the blazing, bright fre, which was burning in the centre of the camp as we came in. A few of the party were missing, however, and nearly an hour passed and they were missing silll. A BREAK DOWN AND SUDDEN HALT, Genera: Ord, commanding the Department of the Platte; General Palmer, commanding the cavairy escort and the camp ; General Custer, one of the ceie- Drated cavalry heroes of our late war, and Lieuten- ant Starlegof, of the Russian Navy, had not yet come intocamp. Sheridan was just about sending out @ party to look after them, when Custer, carry. ing his boffaio rife on his shoulder, came striding down the oill, followed presentiyv by the others, Palmer being the only missing man who did not finally come in afoot, Their wagon had broken down five miles from here, and the oniy way they could get here was to tramp through the snow. Talis, however, sharpened their appetite for the splendid dinner which was an- nounced just as they arrived. CAMP ALBXIS AND SURROUNDINGS, Tnis Camp Alexis embraces about four acres of ground, and ts situated on @ low grassy plateau, from which the snow has been removea at the Junction of the Red Willow with one of its small but now frozen tributaries. Two companies of United states cavairy, E and K of the Second regiment, are located here for the purposes of this grand ducal buffalo hunt, The camp faces south, and looks out on Red Willow Creek. Twelve new wall tents, fitted up with all camp convent- ences, including comfortable stools, are arranged in @ line for the accommodation of the guests, THE GENTLEMEN age IMPEBIAL BUNTING ‘The party consists of His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Alexis, His Excellency Vice Admiral Posaiet, His Exceilency W. F. Machin, High Coun- cillor of State; Count Obzenfiet, Mr, Bodisco, Consul Generat of Russia to the United States; Dr. Coudrin and Lieutenants Tudr and Starlegeff, of the impertal navy. These are the Russians, and they are accompanied by Mr. Frank Thompson, who manages all their railroad tranaporiation and telegraphic business. The American gentiemen are Lieutenant General Philip W. Sheridan, General E, Ord, General Palmer, General G. a, Custar, General Sweetzer and General Forsyth, Colonei Forsyth, Colonel Sneridan and Dr, Asch, of the Lieutenant Generals staff, to- gether with the Henacp correspondent. The ofticera of the cavairy compantes present were Captain Egan and Lieutenants Fowler aud Allison, of company K, and Lieutenants Stevens and Thomas of company E. Lieutenant Hays, of the Fifth cavalry, attended to all the quartermaster business tn camp aud Lieu- tenant Clark accompanied General Paimer. TAE BANQUET ON THE WESTERN WILDS. The diningroom of our camp ts formed out of two large marquese, and ts very handsomely fesvooned inside with fags. A sumptous banquet was pre. sented before the guests, after all haa reached the ground, ast evening. The meal included different varieties of game to be found on the Western prairies. Choice wines were served with the different courses. On the run to the Red Willow Custar killed a prairie chicken with a rifle ball, and the Grand Duke was so delighted at the shot—it took off the chicken’s head—that he wanted asticeof it for Mis dinner, Accordingly the bird was cooked after we came into camp, and the Duke relished it exceedingly. SINGING SONGS AND SPINNING YARNS. After dinner some songs were sung and yarns spun over the blazing camp fire, and one by one the members of the party retired to their tents to sleep, perchance to dream of the expectea Bufalo hunt on the morrow, Spotted Tatl and his Indians baa received notice to come up, and interpreters were sent off to hurry them. GLORIOUS WEATHER FOR THE SPORT. The splendid sunset of the previous evening was quite surpassed by the brilliant coloring of the clouds that hung over the horizon at dawn of the succeeding morning, ‘the sun, how- ever, soon dispelled the floating vapors, and the aky presented nothing but the sun itself tm an unbroken feld ot olue. The weather nere is wouderfal for this season of the year; the day has been warm and beautiful. Overcoats have been quite unnecessury, and some who brought them found them cumber- some. THE FIRST HERD OF BUFFALO. Very early in the morning Budfalo Bill went out to see what the prospects were. Before ten o'clock he returned with tidings that about fifteen miles distant there was a herd of buffalo browsing on the grass that grows on the divide between tue Red Wulow and the Medicine. This was pleasing news tothe Grana Duke and ali the other sportsmen, Orders were given at once to make the necessary preparations to follow and to find them, TO HORSE! TO HORSE ! Accordingly, soon after breakiast, the hunters in our party, armed to the teeth, were snugly in their saddles, General Sheridan, being slightly mdis- posed, did not come out with us in the morning, but we found tn Custer, who was assigned the duty of the initiation of His Imperial Highness into the mysteries of buffalo hunting, the most dashing cavalry officer in the service, next to General Sheridan. THE DUKE IN MUNTING ATTIRE, The Grand Duke’s hunting dress was very appro- priate and simple, It consisted of jacket and trowsers of heavy gray cloth, trimmed with green, the buttons bearing the imperial Russian coat of-arms; he wore his boots outside his trowsers; hts cap was an Aus- tralian turban, with cloth top, He carried a Russian hunting knife and the Smith & Wesson revolver re- cently presented to him and bearing the coat-of- arms of the United States and of Russia on the handle, GENERAL CUSTER'S APPEARANCE, General Custer appeared in his well-known frontier buckskin hunting costume, and ifinstead of the comical sealskin hat he wore he had only had feathers fastened in his lowing hair, he would have passed at a distance for a great Indian chief, Buf- falo Bull's dress was something similar to Custer’s, When the three started off from camp together the Duke, Custer and Bili—all large and powerful aua ali hardy hunters—they attracted the attention and admiration of every one. Most of the members of the imperial party went along and all the start officers in camp. PRACTICB BY THE WAY, ‘The face of the country was very much broken up and the snow in some spots was eighteen inches deep, The Grand Duke avatiea himseif of Custer's experience, asked many questions, and prac- tised running and shooting at imaginary buffaloes as he went. Bill led us up and down and round ravines and over rolling lands—and sometimes within signt of howling wolves—a distance of nearly fifteen miles, when, just as we ga'loped up the rugged slope to the divide, we came close upon part of the herd that we had seen, THE FIRST CUARGE—ALEXIS BRINGS DOWN HIS BULL, The Duke and vuster charged together, but what seemed singular to the hunters the buffalo did not run; they stood at bay, as if they had been expecting the imperial party, and as if to say “Come on; but Custer charged througa an open space and scattered them. He kept his eye ciose on a big bull that was waiting ‘to go for” the Grand Duke. Alexis, however, rode close up to the animal and put acouple of pistol shots in him, when he started down the ravine, the Duke and Custer after him. Another poy trom the pistol and he fell, when a shot trom a rife finished him. THREE CHEBRS FOR THE RUSSIAN HUNTSMAN. A cheer arose from the company. When the Duke had got his game, out came his hunting knife and om went the tall of the dead buffalo, which he brought Into camp as a trophy. Meanwhile the rematnder of the few that were near enough were “gone for’ by the other members of the party, and four budalo were kille’ inail, One of them led GENERAL SWEETZER AND MR. THOMPSON @ distance of three miles, but they finally brought him down. Count Olzonfieff secured nis m gallant style, though the victory over the animal was not easily won. He who killed the otner shall be name- less, but it 13 one of the incidents of the day that he secured his game. A REMINISCENCE OF RUSSIA, Two years agoto a day the Grand Duke was hunting with his (ather, and killed his first Kussian bear. It delighted His Imperial Highness im- mensely to mention the incident that he killed his first buffalo on the anniversary of that day. y “Another bond of union between Russia and America,” said @ member of the imperial party, while all joined in congratulations to the Duke, RETURN TO CAMP IN TRIUMPH. It was now getting late in the afiernoon, and by unanimous consent it was conciuded that we had better gallop back to camp before dark, and leave the larger herd beyond for the next day’s sport. In the best of spirits we now turned our horses’ heads toward our camp on the Red Willow Creek. As we came within sight of itjust atsundown we announced our return and our successin Indian style, with yells, which were responded to from camp, During our absence ‘Spotted Tail’ with his braves had come in from Blackwood and camped on tne other side of Red Willow Creek close to our own, They will accompany us on our hunt to-mor- row. PERILS OF THE AUNT—GENBRAL INCIDENTS. ‘There was some hard riding during the day, and the ground was both slippery and rough. General Sweetzer and Mr, Starlegof, when chasing abufalo, came into collision, and both went tothe ground together, and thetr horses also. Neither was hurt, but Mr. Starlegot lost his pistol and his hat. Sweetzer haa a fall all to bimself after. wards while galloping down a precipitous place. ‘The gallant Admiral went over 0000, but was soon sailing with even keel again, Mr. Machin’s horse ran away with him, but slacked his pace when he got with the advance party. Cotonet Forsyth’s fell on him; but Forsyth has had more wonderful escapes than that, Lieutenant Hays went scouling on his own ac- count and could not be found by the mounted soldiers sent in all directions af- ter him, While we wero at dinner he came in and was received with cheers. He had given chase to a band of elk, and had killed two buffaloes on the trip. to-tay and no serious accidenta. We hope for a0 worse luck to morrow. Preparing for the second Hunt. Came ALBXIS, RED WILLOW ORERK, Neb., Jan, 15, 1872, ‘The morning opens with promise of a splenatad day. Reveille is sounded and the orders are that we make as early a start as possible, for the buffalo are supposed to be from fifteen to twenty miles away, unleas perchance we should come across a herd om another tratl. Tue Indiana will accompany ua General Sherl- dan wul be along. If there are any budato within twenty miles of here we will surety find them.

We are, however, of opinion that, though the change would be more in keeping with the calculating genius of the nation, it would not heip much the empty-neaded fops who lack ideas more than power of expression, MAILS FOR EUROPE, The steamship Colorado will leave this port on Wednesday for Queenstown and Liverpool, ‘The mails for Europe will close at the Post OMloe at haif-past eight o'clock A.

President Grant’s Instructions te General Emory. New ORLBANS, Jan. 15, 1672 The fi¢ht ts over, Governor Warmoth has com pletely turned the tables on his assailants, and re- mains master of the situation. Gatning over one of the democratic Senators, he established a quorum in both houses, and has forced through the Legis lature the repeal of the very measures the repeat of which was demanded by the Carterites. To-night he has signed the bills and sent them to the oficial journal for promulgation. He thus compsie the opposition either to recognize the legality of bus Legislature, or io repudiate measures they-bave been clamoring for. The Custom House party ac- knowledge themselves whipped, and attribute their defeat to the egotism and self-will of Carter in re- fusing to follow Packard’s leaaership and advice. THE ABSENT SENATORS have come back from Bay St. Louis and will go to the Senate to-morrow, A feeble attempt at getting up a popular disturbance is being made by Carver to-night, but falls still-born. Tne cost of the filfteen days’ struggle in mileage and per dtem of members, militia and police, expenses and maintenance of wandering Senators, telegrams to Washington and) bribes to members 13 ascertained to be over three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. How the Fight aad Hasty Legislation—Warmoth Spiking Carter's Guns, New ORLEANS, Jan, 15, 1872. Eighteen members were present in the Senate to- day, including the President—a decided quorum, After the transaction of other business the rules were suspended and the Registration, Election, Cons stabulary and Printing bills were all repealed. * « In the House the repealed bills from the Senate were taken up and passed without a dissenting vote, and the Senate was notified of the fact. AGS three o’clock the repealed acts, as passed by the Senate and the House, were presented to the Gover. norand at once signed. The Carterites stigmatize this hasty legislation as a trick. HOW IT WAS DONE. The way the obnoxious bills were repealed waa that the Senate for several days had lacked only one member to make a quorum. On Sunday Sena- tor Anderson Demorest arrived in the city with the previously secured pledge of Governor Warmoti& that he was not to be molested, Mr. Anaersom had no intention of attending the session, which met, a8 usual, to-day, without a quorum. About am hour afterwards Governor Warmoth despatched @ messenger for Anderson, ag bret | to see him at nis private office. The latver responded. After some preitminary conversation, of the Senators had the Governor — asked hus party demanded and was told the unqualifed repeal of all the obnoxious acts. This Governor Warmoth offered to pledge himself to accomplish. Senator Anderson said that would not be suflicient. He did not want proles- sions, bat business; that if a bill.for the repeal of all these laws, postponing action on the Police and Militia bills, for obvious reasons, were drafted then and there, he wouttl go in the Senate to make @ quorum, and enable all legislation to be periormed necessary to their repeal. He, however, required in addition that no Other business was to be transacted without his approval. After SOME LITTLE DISCUSSION AND DELAY the offer was accepted by the Governor, and the Repeal bill was summarily drafted. Hence the legisiation wich lollowed in the Senate, Some difficulty was experienced in pushing the bilt through the House, but by three o'clock the Repeal bill had passed and was signed by the Governor, and it only wanted prover publication to become law.

The President received to-day voluminous de- spaches from New Orleans concerning the troubles in that city, Among others a despatch was re- ceived from General Emory giving details of the situation of affairs, and stating that he had beea informed that the Attorney General had given some opinion on the subject of pending dificulties in the State and asking for instructions.

United States troops will not be brought to the city unless you receive ex- press orders (rom here."
