deal, with the false and treacherous savages who upon the hardy pioneers of ociviliza- have @ peculiar right to the most ample pro- tection, gud no canting or simpering of fools ought to be permitted to stand in the way of a manly and vigorous policy. Let Howard devote himself to teaching Sunday school, work for which nature intended him. Phil Sheridan, who is now 80 pressed and punished, would speedily put an Eieuies The people of this country heartily sick of the canting peace policy, with itshectacombs of innocent victims barbar- ously slain by the cowardly redskins, who delight in slaughter,” but have not much stomach for a square fight. Treacherous, idle and bloodthirsty, there is only one effective mode of dealing with the Indian. Ho must be convinced that unless he is content to live in peace and labor for his food he must perish. We have reached the point where we can no longer afford the luxury of tribes of privileged assas- sins, If the red man will insist on blocking the way of civilization, civilization will tramp over him. That is the lesson we must texch the skulking murderers of women and chil- dren, whom a mistaken philanthropy has made the pet wards of the nation. We should be rejoiced to see the ancient American race preserved, but not on condition that they shall be privileged to cut our throats when they happen to be in an unusually good humor. To indulge in the luxury of noble savage at this price would indeed be folly. It remains in the hands of the President to take some steps to remedy the peace policy mistake, leaving the gallant Sheridan and his troopers free to act, with the simple order, ‘Put an end to these outrages.” We venture to predict that in six months Sheridan would let us have such peace as has not been known for many a long year to the unfortunate frontiersmen. The matter is pressing, as the patience of the suffer- ing people is well nigh exhausted between the thieving Mexicans and their bloodthirsty allies; and unless repressive measures are adopted by govornment we may look forward to the inauguration of 9 protracted and bitter border warfare. THE ILLUSTRATED PRESS. ALE OW aE ‘The last issue of Harper's contains some admir- ably-executed portraits of Dr. Livingstone and Mr. Henry M. Stanley, the correspondent of the HERALD, whose gallantry and perseverance have been at last so signally rewarded and so univer- sally acknowledged, There is also a carefully- drawn map of the wild land of wonder which has been the theatre of their exploits, and whose secrets are gradually being-unfolded to an inter- ested and eageriy-curious world. All who remem- ber Mr. Stanley will at once recognize the fidelity and spirit which mark this counterpart present- ment of him, The frank, open, strongly-individual- ised face, the bright, flashing eyes, and the air of resolution and daring that are indellibly stamped 4n every lineament, these are rendered with a faith- ful skill that deserves the very high- est praise. The portrait is a nalf length, and the costume gives a_ pretty suggestive hint of the work upon which he has been lately engaged. The head is covered with a striped Arab headdress, absolutely devoid of Shape, but certainly no unwelcome protection against the flerce rays of a tropical sun} and the handkerchief loosely tied around the neck, and the crossbelt over the shoulder, also speak of the errand from which he has just successfully re- turned, A couple of weeks ago there was also a very good likeness of him in Frank Lestic's, This de- picted him in ordinary dress, and represented him as he will appear when he has again reached home, to be crowned with the laurels he has won. The face has the same marked expression, and the Portrait is fincly and truthfully executed. We refer with pleasure to these efforts of the Mustrated press to popularize an achievement which has reflected honor, not alone on the journal which prompted, or the man who carried it suc- cessfully through, but also upon American journal- ism in general.

This fact, together with the antecedents of the prisoners who have been ar- rested since, it is believed conclusively establishes the allegation that the men had no political feeling which would have prompted them to attempt the assassination of His Majesty, but are merely hired instruments of a political conspiracy.

Union Squire Theatre, Tae VOKES FaMILY.—This vivacious family com- menced the second week of their re-engagement at the Union Square Theatre last evening, when they presented one of their most popular extravagunzas, “The Belles of the Kitchen.” There is nothing new to be said of the fumily, They present such a com- bination of burlesque, high tragedy, low comedy, opera and ballet that the tastes of ali sorts ot thea: tre-goers are satisfied. a have lost nothing ot the grace and vivacity in their line that they pre- sented when here before. A feature of the evening was the reappearance of Jennie Lee in the comedy of “Kind toa Fault.”” . ‘Wallack’s Theatre, The season of golden hair opened iast nigit at this theatre with great success, Every part of the house seemed well filled, and thozg” tho enthu- singm was rather subdued on tie part of the general audience, there were not wanting warm expressions of approval. On the appearance of Lydia Thompson, the queen of blondes, the audience manifested their feelings in a rather boisterous way, and Lydia acknowl- edged them in a provokingly charming manner. There cannot be much said for the burlesque of “Robin Hood,” in which the troupe made their first appearance, and it may even be stated with confidence that it was saved from collapse only by the charm of the cen. hair, aided by the dancing of Lydia and iltie Edwin, who is not only amusing but highly original. Tho singing on the whole was rather thin, and though the acting was for the most pers lively the natural heaviness of the ptece ren- ered the best efforts of the artists inefectual, It is to be hoped that “Robin Hood’ will soon be sent ») age to grass, and something livelier put on the stage. | There is no excuse for wasting the energy and ability of a good troupe on such indifferent material. It is creditable the art- ists to say that they managed to invest the jece with considerable interest, in spite of its heaviness. It, however, affords many an oppor- tunity for a good laugh. Profiting by experience, an effort is made to make local hits and puns, but, though the intention is good, the suc in this matter is not too encouraging. Lydia and her oe will continue to delight the public for some C. ns Bowery Theatre, Primful to the ceiling the “Old Drury’ was in itd element last night, and if the appetites of “the boys” for the bloodthirsty were not abundantly satiated with “Yacup,” then there is no knowing where to stop. “Yacup’ is a new sensational drama of the most improved order, and kept the audience in a prolonged state of terror, relieved at intervals by the Dutch peculiarities of “Oofty Gooft” who sustained the title rdle, Despite the vagaries of the thermometer the heavy man of the piece ruthlessly despatched two humai beings in the prologue. What with counterfeiters, mutton pie men, burglars and marines, comic and thrilling scenes alternately the assemblage passed the even ing ina very mixed frame of mind, now yelling with delight, then again giving expréssions to their apprehensions — lest the villain of the piece should escape by the stage door. And when he was at Jength caught and dis- sed of ths audience fairly howled with satis- faction, “Yacup’’ was altogether very favorably received. Olympic Theatre. The “Witehes of New York’? was presonted last evening before a very slim attendance, and, every- thing considered, it is not unreasonable to presume that even the artists felt much relieved when the curtain fell for the last time. It was rather a poor compliment to the patrons of this theatre, ren- dered so attractive by the inimitable performances of Fox, to place such @ production on the boards, The result was evident, for apart from the thread- bare and disagreeable character of the piece its miserabie representation did not tend to unprove matters. Indeed, the least sald aboul the whole performance the bette YAOHT RAGE ON THE DELAWARE.

WASHINGTON, July 22, 1872, Carl Schurz’s Statements Denied. Despatches have been sent from St. Louis to- night to the President and to members of the Cabi- wet requesting an authoritative denial of Senator Sehurz's asseition in his speech, delivered this evening in that city, that during the pendency of the St. Domingo project he was separately ap- proached by two friends of the President and offered his own terms as to patron- for his support of th» scheme of anuexation, and that he is ready to produce the written assurance of one of these alleged go-be- tweens that the President had cognizance of the attempted negotiation and had authorized the tempting offers of patronage that were made. A fulland authorized contradiction of the Missouri Senator's story ts promised by the President's friends ag soon as their present knowledge is re- confirmed by his arrival from Long Branch, The North Carolina Contest. ‘The interest in. the North Carolina contest in- creases each day, and the opposing parties grow more and more personally hostile, Thelr represen- tatives here are actively engaged in preparing and forwarding documents, and they have also ar- ranged to send additional speake:s down to take part in the canvass, Twomen named Wililam Wood of this city and formerly Chief of the Secret Ser- vice, and Blumenberg, of Baltimore, in the employ of the National Liberal Committee, passed through here yesterday, and doubtiess reached Raleigh to- day. It is alleged they were paid respectively $7,000 and $9,000 for their anticipated services, which the Grantites describe to be ballot box stuffing. Fred Douglass to Spout at Richmond. Fred Dougiass, John M.

The President, who has been expected here fora week past, is announced to reach here to-morrow morning. Among other important business requir- ing his attention is the proposed redistricting of the country into ten Supervisorial districts, and the selection from the twenty-four now in service. The reduction goes into effect on the ist of August, 60 that no time is to be lost in carrying out recent legislation. The supervisors to be retained it Is understood, are William A, Simmons, at present in Massachusetts; Silas B. Dutcher, of Brooklyn; Alexander P. Fulton, of Philadelphia; James B. Sweitzer, of Pittsburg; Dr. P. W. Perry, of Raleigh; Joun McDonald, St. Louis; J. M. Hedrick Ottumina, Iowa; Louis M. Foulke, San Francisco; G, W. Emery, of Tennessee, and Otis T. Presbey, of Washington. This was the list determined upon ashort time ago, and may be changed in one or two instances, Presbey, who is conceded to be one of the most efficient revenue oftcers the Internal Revenue Bureau has ever had, has incurred the lasting enmity of Senator Lewis, of Virginia, who prefers a politician to an honest man, and so had the law pyoviding for the appointment of the ten Supervisgrs modified to resuive tiwid gQudrmatig) by the Senate, in the event the President shoui disregard his wishes and appoint Presbey, Alex- ander P. Fulton, one of the old Supervisors, couid be retained if he wished it, but Postmaster General ‘resswell and the Fulton family cannot agree in the management of Maryland politics. Fulton, therefore, is willing to make himself a victim for sake of peace. Simmons, of Mass., is supported by Senator Wilson and General Butler. The latter in- sists on New Engiand having a genuine representa- tion in the list of ten, and will not be content with any carpet bag representative. K. R. Cobb, at present a Supervisor in Texas, is an aspirant and warmly supported, hut has a poor chance for suc- cess, Ths redistricting of the States and Terrl- ‘orles will be determineupon without delay. The Cuban Pioneer—A Muddle. The possibility of the case of the Pioneer being carried into Court leads to the beilef that under in- ternational law, beginning with our own record, the government will be bound to recognize the Cuban flag. If this should be done the Treasury Department anticipates endiess troubles, as under the treaty of 1795 the Spanish government would have the right to search every vessel carrying our flag and sailing in Cuban waters. The Spanish-American Claims Commis- sion—A New Departure by Secretary Fish. The unsatisfactory progress made by the Spanish- American Claims Commission in the settlement of the claims of Americans against Spain, for which | the Commission was exclusively organized, has in- duced the Secretary of State to represent to the Spanish Minister, on behalf of our Counsel on the Commission, that something must be speedily done to remove the cause alleged by witnesses residing in Cuba for not giving testimony in behalf ofclaimants. It is therefore proposed that a Span- ish and an American offictal should conjointly take the testimony, the latter to be the Consul General. Admiral Polo approves the suggestion, and has re- ferred it to his government for action. The only cases the Commission are prepared to proceed with are six in number, the testimony having been ob- tained in this country. New and Old Regulations of the Army. The Board appointed in pursuance of an act of Congress passed July 28, 1866, requiring the Secre- tary of War to have a new code of army regulations prepared, and which lately sat for several months in New York city, have presented their report to the Secretary, and the members have returned to their stutions, There is a great anxiety felt in the service for the promulgation of the new regulations, as those nominally in force are in themselves unsuited to tie present needs of the army and have been so changed and amended since 1861 by numerous acts of Congress, depart- | ment orders and aceepted customs as to be no longer recognizable In practice, except to a liin- ited and indefinite extent. But the law which directed the preparation of the re- vised code also required that the old | one should remain in force till Congress | should approve’ the new regulations; and, though | several efforts have been made to modify this new and stringent proviso, they have not been success- | fal. prescribed by Congress, and such military enact- ments as have been mede from time to time, have been regarded as the constitntions of the military establishment, and the Department of War, In the name of the President, has prescribed and changed the working regulations at will, and it is urged against the new idea of gov- erning the army by iegisiation in detail that the | administrative system will be deprived of its de- siravle and even necessary flexibility, and that such emergent circumstances as will inevitably arise will condace to a government outside the regulations, At the jate session Senator Wilson passed a bill through the Senate authorizing a prac- tical trial of the then unfinished code for one year before its confirmation by Congress, but the bill failed in the House. with the Department, and ag tk next possible Heretofore the rutes and articles of war, as | cr: | of This proposition originated ; thing it isin contemplation to distribute a number of Copies throughout the service, in order that om- cers may familiarize themscives with the new code m anticipation of its adoption by Congress, and that the widest opportunity may be extended for practical suggestions of amendment before the regulations go to the military committees. Among the more important changes are those in the uniforms of the several arms, The present unt- form is generally condemned as unmilitary and ‘unattractive, the only points in its favor being that there is a large stock of clothing yet on hand and that the uniferm is sanctified by its identity with that in which the rebellion was con- quered. The Une officers are much discontented at the retention of single-breasted coats, which they claim ean never be made to look dressy and which the double-breasters continue to impose upon them to keep up every present distinguishing mark of inferiority of rank, Change in the Command of the Pacific Ficct. Rear Admiral Charles Steedman, Commandant of the Boston Navy Yard, will succeed Rear Admiral Winslow in command of the racifie fleet. The order dividing the Pacitic into stations does not take effect until October 1, when another rear admiral will be assigned to the South. Arrival of Joint High Japanese.

It is under. stood that J. Mort, for sometime past Chargé de Affaires of tue Japanese government here, who has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the | United States, will be presented to the President to-morrow, a8 he has received leave of absence to accompany the Embassy on their European mission, Count de Noilles, the new French Minister, it is ex- pected, will also be presented during the Presi- dent's visit, TheJapancse Embassy expect to close up their business next week and leave for London. Our Relations With Japan—The Ténno Signally Honors the American Navy, By the arrival of the mail to-day from the Asiatio squadron private advices were received from Rear Admiral Thornton A. Jenkins, commanding the feet, to the effect that is audience wita the Tenno was of the most satisfactory charactor, and happlly | maugurated relations which, as was stated in | these despatches when his assignment was first an- nonneed, he was to carefully cultivate asa part of an Eastern policy. The favor shown him in the manner of the reception, and the compliment of | first extending the courtesy to a representative of | the American navy, is regarded by officials as an | unmistakable evidence of the friendship of the | Emperor for the Unived Stats. % Lo’s Appetite and Disposition Good. Agent Adams, of the Los Pinos Indlan Agency In Colorado, reports to the Indian Bureau, under date of July 2, that the rumors that the Indians are pre- paring for hostilities are without any foundation whatever. The Utes are perfectly quiet, and the number at the agency has been steadily increasing at the rate of ten lodges a day. The annulty goods which these Indians refused last year to receive, on account of dissatisfaction with the govern- ment’s construction of the Treaty of 1868, they have now called for and received with the best of good leeling.

C., July 22, 1972, Further particulars of the killing of Tom Lowery, of the Robeson county gang of “Swamp Angela,'” recetved here, show that it was effected by S. Wishart and Robert E, Wishart, brothers of Coloneé Wishart, and James McKay and James Campbet— all resolute and daring young men—who started out for ScuMetown, the capltal of the outlaws, on Thursday night last, for the purpose of avenging the death of the lamented Coionel Wishart, who was 80 _ basvely murdered by the gang. They arrived near Scutie- town aud secreted themselves along the road tray- elled by the outlaws and inhabitants. None of the gang were seen until Saturday morning about eight o'clock, WHEN TOM LOWERY APPEARED in sight on his way to Union Chapel, where politt- cal speaking was to take place that day. He waa walking leisurely along the road in company with @ white man named Prevatt, Lowery was armed with a Spencer rifle and three revolvers. He came on without suspicion until he got opposite where the young men were concealed, when he noticed the tracks they had made in crossing the road, He now seemed snddenly to become alarmed, fae Sale pe cursing furiously. At a given signal THE BAND IN AMBUSH DISCILARGED their pleces at Inm simuitaneousty. Each of the four shots took effect, and, uttering a yell of ter- ror and pain, Lowery plunged into the swamp and ran about fifty yards when he fell in the agony of death, ut he did not die without trying to avenge himself, The struggie was prolonged while life lasted, As the young men ap- proached him he Sttemipied to draw a pistol, but was too weak fo do so. One hand was clutched so firmly about his gnn that it was with didienlty hia fingers could be unclasped, On his body was found & gold watch, the property of Mr. John MoNair, ‘The body was immediately seized and carricd on the shoulders of the party to the pubiie road, about. @ half mite distant, where a passing wagon waa pressed into service and the body was carried to Lumberton and delivered to the Sheriff. THE BODY IDENTIFIED AND THE REWARD PAID, Tt was fuily identified as that of Tom Lowery, and was delivered to his wite, who was sent for by the Sheritt, It was interred by his friends at two o’clock on Saturday somewhere in the classle precincts of Seuftletown. The same day the Sheriff paid over to the Wisharts and thelr companions the reward of- fered by the county, which was $1,000, There im also a State reward of $5,000, which they will prob- ably soon receive, Stephen Lowery and Andrew Strong are the only two of the gaiig now remain- ing, and it is thought they will soon meet with a similar fate.

The chief | interest, of course, centres around the | CONTES! BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY CREWS of the several colleges, and undoubtedly the | athletic oarsmen of the several crews will display aquatic skill of unustal excellence. There are no | Jess than half a dozen of these crews who will strive for the laurels, and it Is within keeping of truth to gay that each one of them are inspired with @ won- derful coufidence of victory. THE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES REPRVSENTED are Yale, Harvard, Amherst, Bowdoin, Williams and the Amherst Agricultural College. Pools were sold to-night, but buyers were neither | nuincrous nor enthusiastic. Harvard was generaliy the favorite against the ficld, but why this was so no one can tell. ‘The Amherst Agricuiturais were next in favor, thelr sapposed superiority bein, counted for from the fact that they were victorious a year ago, and have been trained during the last few weeks under the direction of the renowned Josh Ward.

The favorites m_ this race, according to the pool-selling this evening, are the Yale Scientifics aad the Amhersts.
