A despatch has just been received from Governor McOormick, of Arizona Territory, saying that the attack of Colonel Mason on the Apache and Mojave isthe most important blow ever dealt to hostile Indians in that territory. It is now known that most of the murders and robberies are to be chai to them, and that at least two of the Killed participated in the massacre of the Loring party near Wyckenburg in November.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN OUR FAVOR, ——_— Insanity of Leesburg’s Female Poisoner. WASHINGTON, Oct, 6, 1872, Parchase of Bonds and Sale of Gold to Kaso the New York Market—Kxtra Is sue of Legal Tender Notes, Judge Richardson, Acting Secretary of the Treas- ury, to-night telegraphed Assistant Treasurer Uill- house, at New York, to buy $5,000,000 bonds and sell $5,000,000 of gold to-morrow, anbdject to the usual conditions of the monthly purchases of bonds and gale of gold. There has been unusual activity about the Treas- ury Department to-day. ‘The Acting Secretary was in constant telegraphic communication with Secre- tary Boutwell, and telegrams were also received from leading banking houses in New York and Phil- adelphia. The cause is explained in the telegram sent to-night to Thomas Hillhouse, Assistant Treas- urer in New York, to sell $5,000,000 in gold and buy $5,000,000 in bonds to-morrow—intended as @ surprise to Wall street. This act, it is understood, has been fully anticipated. There is in the Treasury vault here $133,000,000 in legal tender notes held not 2s a reserve, but for convenience in redeeming mutilated currency, and the first tssue of legal tenders, which the government wishes to call in as fast as possible, The stringency of the money market in New York led to the inquiry whether the Secretary of the Treasury had authority to issue any more legal tenders. It was decided that in an emergency he conld; that Congress had not restricted the «department except within $400,000,000—$356,000,000 of which are in circula- tlon; that it was at those figures Secretary Mc- Culloch was checked in reducing the legal tender circulation, while the Secretary has had ample au- thority to fill out the $400,000,000 If he chose to ex- ercise his authority. Such {s the opinion held at the Treasury Department. Yesterday the question arose asto the manner in which any portion of the $44,000,000 could be precipitated on the New York market out of the virgin legal tenders locked up in the Treasury vaults, and, after consultation, it Was decided that it could be done best by ordering the immediate purchase of bonds. Tne considera- tion went so far as to include the speediest method of forwarding the greenbacks to New York. The financial programme of to-morrow is the result of yesterday's deliberation, Tho British American Claims Commis- ston—Important Decisions for the United States. The British American Claims Commission ad- journed yesterday until the 28th inst. Business is progressing rapidly, considering the magnitude og the work presented to the agents and counsel on both sides. The treaty requires ail claims to be de- cided within two years from the first meeting, which avas held September 26, 1871.” It is ex- pected that the Commission will be able to dispose of the last case by September 1, 1873, when @ bal- ance will be struck as to the amount due Great Britain over the amount. awarded to Ameri- can claimants, payment to be made within twelve months after date of final award without interest. A deduction of five per cent is to be made for the expenses of the Commission, including contingent expenses. Clatmants cannot be paid before 1874, as Congress, which will make the appropriation, does not meet until December, 1873, and will, it is said, have to await the action of Parliament, which does not meet for several months after. The American agent and counsel, Mr. Robert 8. Hale, expects to represefit the Sixteenth New York district in that Congress, and vote for the appro- priation. During the sessions held the past week a number of decisions were made, disposing of some impor- tant questions, among which were the following :— Yesterday the Commission decided an important principle in two cases for tobacco burned at Rich- mond. The claimants, Scotch merchants, alleged themselves the owners of the tobacco in question at the outbreak of the war; that the President, by the proclamation of blockade, and the Congress, by the non-intercourse act of June, 1861, prevented their removal of the same, although under the non-Intercourse act the President was per- mitted to license epecial and im. ited trade with the insurrectionary districts, and, as the claimants alleged, such licenses were given to those willing to take an active part against the rebellion in preference to aliens and neutrals, The claimants charged the subsequent destruction and loss of their tobacco to this prevention of removal by the United States and claimed the United States liable therefor. On demurrer to the memorials, the Commission de- cided against the claims, holding in effect the proc- lamation of blockade, the non-intercourse act and the practice of the United States under them law- ful acts of war within the law ofnations, If this claim could have beeu sustained the United States would be made liable for an immense amount of property in the South owned by aliens at the out- break of the war. In the cases of Watkins and Lee and Dalgetty and Du Croz & Co, vs. the United States, the claimants claimed damages for a portion of the cargo of the Hiawatha, consigned to them bya contractor in Richmond, alleging that by the capture of the to- bacco their vender failed to tulfll his contract and claiming the damages resulting from such non- fulfilment. By the decision the Commission held, in effect thease damages to be too remote for allow- ance, the claimants not alleging themselves to have been the owners of the tobacco at the time of cap- ture, but only entitled to receive it on contract. In cases 357, 559 and 447 the demurrers of the United States were sustained, the Commission hold- ing in effect, in accordance with rules of the com- mon law, that an action for wrongful arrest and imprisonment was a personal action which died with the claimant and did not survive his adminis- trator. Incase 427 the demurrer of the United States was sustained, the Commission holding, In effect, that a British insurance company could sustain no action for insurance paid on property of others than British subjects wrongfully captured and con- demned by the United States, but that to sustain such @ claim the property must have been owned at the time of capture by British subjects. On demurrer by the United States to various claims for alleged wrongful capture and condemna- tion by the United States of ships and cargoes as prize, where no appeal had been taken from the prize court of original jurisdiction, the demurrers of the United States were overruled, the Commis- sion holding that an excuse for the owners to ap- peal might perhaps be shown by the claimants; but, at the same time, deciding virtually that in every case of allegation of wrongful condemnation the omission of the claimants to appeal from tue prize court of original jurisdiction must be satisfac- torily explained in order to establish a ground for claim before the Commisston. The Payment of the Geneva Award. It is anticipated in oficial circles that the award made by the Geneva Tribunal will be paid before the expiration of twelve months from the time of its announcement, this being the treaty limit, The money will be paid to the Department of State. and. as there ls no law concerning tho disposal of it, legislation vy Congreas becomes necessary for that purpose.

Sr. Louis, Oct. 6, 1872, The Democrat to-day gives a lengthy account of a secret political organization, called the American Reform Party, information of which was derived from a gentleman holding a high office in its ranks. The report says the organization was formed in 1867; but it had only a feebie existence, being confined to a few Eastern States, until the New York riots of 1871, when it broke out anew. Shortly after that agents were sent through all the States to form the nucleus of the American reform party, and now the organ- nization ramifies the whole country. In Missouri alone there are 280 clubs and a@ State Council. In St. Louis there are twelve club councils, which hold meetings almost nightly, and claim to have 5,000 voters in this county. The principal features of their platform of prin- ciples are a declaration for a perpetuation of feder- alism in that Americans must rule America, Nevertheless, persona born abroad of American parents, and foreigners coming to the United States when under twenty years of age, should be entitled to all the rights and privileges of native-born citizens; that no person should be selected for a political station, whether native or foreigner, who recognizes any allegiance or obligation to any foreign power what- ever; the unqualified recognition and matnte- nance of the reserved rights of States; non-interfere! by Congress with purely State questions; opposition to any union between Church and State and no interference with any re- ligious faith or Mba? and no test oath for office; thorough investigation of all alleged abuses of trust by public officers and strict economy in public expenditures; enforcement of all laws constitutionally enacted until they are repealed or declared vold by competent judicial authority; that all children are entitled to educa- tion at the public expense, free from sectarianism, and that there should be no division of the school funds for other than school purposes. The party claims to have already influenced some elections in the New England States. The position of the party is not aggressive but delen- Slve, the object being to defend the laws and prin- ciples of popular government and compel every man in this country to be American. The closing words of the Democrat's informant are :—We have in our order persons of all nation- alities and religions, and we only ask that they shall all be Americans in principle and feeling. We are not against any man’s nationality or religion, but we say no monarchical principles shall be en- grafted upon the political system of America.”’ REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS IN NEW YORK.

Rubinstein, The Saturday matinee of the king of pianists at Steinway Hall was signalized by the performance of Beethoven's sonata tn F minor, “Vogels als Pro- phet,’’ ana “Abends," by Schumann; Bach's fugues in C minor and D major; Rondo, by Emanuel Bach; gigue in A major, by Handel, and Romanza in F major, Barcarolle in A minor, and Valse Albe- by Rubinstein, The interpretation of these works was absolutely marvellous, and showed the pianist to be Sprrieos master of even the most op- bat styles. Wicniawski played Vieuxtemp’s “Alr Varié,” and his own incomparable arrangement of Russian atra. No one who takes any interest in music should miss the Soporantty of hearing both | of these artists. Thetr equals have never been heard in America, and their concerts are of the most instructive kind, They play: to-night, Wednesday afternoon, and bic | evening for the last time in Steinway Hall, and tn Brooklyn on Tuesday, Italian Opera. The races at Jerome Park, probably, interfered with the attendance at the matinée of “L’Afri- caine’ on Saturday last at the Academy, for although the orchestra stalls and dress circle were well filled, the boxes and amphitheatre were not. The opera was “L’Africaine," in which Madame Pauline Lucca made her début, and her Selika was, if possible, grander and more impressive than ever. The little lady has had the good sense to guard her dainty throat against the treacherous and fickle weather that signalizes the present Autumn, and it would be well if members of her company would follow her example. When both thermometer and barometer indulge in the most fanciful and unexpected antics every hour of the day, it behooves singers to be more than ordinarily careiul. Tenors should take this lesson particu- larly to heart, as their throats are susceptible of every change in temperature. Now, at the last matinée Sefior Abrugnedo, the Spanish tenor, seemed to forget all about the weather and also to forget that the rdle of Vasco di Gama is one of the most trying in the entire range of opera. Consequently he came on the stage hoarse and did not sing as he should, In the grand duet of the fourth act, which has only a parallel in the duo of Vdlentine and Raoulin “Les Hugue- nots,” Madame Lucca had to bear the brunt and right nobly she did it too, This scene alone would be suffictent to stamp her as the greatest dramatic Poke living. In tpe Mancauilla scene she again achieved @ success by her intensity of passion and abandon. Judging trom the two impersonations ofthe same character, we can readily belleve the assertion made in Europe by her admirers, that she never plays the same rdle twice in the same manner. She is the true child of genius, unfettered by any artificial rules and she enters into the spirit ola role with such earnestness that she does not know herself in what manner she may interpret each scene. Signor Moriami has a very good baritone voice, but his acting is entirely too prononcé. Were he to take a lesson from thatexcellent artist, Jamet, who isan accomplished actor, he would avoid every- thing approaching harlequinade and gymuastics. Nelusko Ts a wild, peri warrior, it is true, but then there is no necessity in making him a votary of Terpsichore. Moriami’s voice, with moderate action, can always make an impression in the rdle, To-night we are to have “L'Africaine” for. the last time, and on Wednesday “Faust.” Footlight Flashes.

The prospect in this district is favorable for the election of arepublican, and Ross will undoubtedly be elected in the Eighteenth district. 8, G. Morrison, of Willlamsport, is also running in this district as the candidate of the labor reform party. The Pennsylvania delegation in the present Con- gress is made up of thirteen republicans and eleven democrats, who were chosen in 1870 by the following vote :— Majority. Repiitican. Democratic. 10,853, 4,148 dem, 2. x. choose @ United States Senator in place of Hon. Simon Cameron, whose term expires in 1873. Of the thirty-three members composing the State Senate eleven are to be elected this Fall, twenty- two holding over, of whom ten are republicans, eleven are democrats and one independent (A. K, McClure), who has shown by his votes that, on party questions, he will act with the opposition, making the Senate stand, practically, ten republi- cans to twelve democrats. Of the eleven districts which elect Senators seven gave republican and four gave democratic majorities in 1871. Thus, to secure control of the body, the republicans must carry all of these seven districts, or, failing to do 80, must make {it up by carrying one or more of those which gave majorities against them last Fall. The Legislature as last constituted was composed politically as follows :— Senate. House, Joint Ballot, 16 56 7 v7 “4 6 Democratic majority .. 1 Rep. maj.. 12 i The people are also to vote upon a proposed amendment to the State constitution, whereby, if it is ratified, the State Treasurer will become an elective officer.
