WAR VS. PEACE POLICY. ‘While we fiave in progress en the morthern end of the Pacific States a war against the Modecs, en outbreak of a formidable character is reported to hhave occurred at the extreme southern border of Arizona. The Apaches, who have the character of Deing the most trreclaimable and bloodthirsty of American savages, have broken leese from their reservation, located in the southeastern portion of that Territory, on the Mexican boundary tine, and made a raid tnto Sonora. The veteran warriors composing the hostile tribes In Arizona and New Mexico, under control of the noted chiefs Cochise, One-Eyed Riley, De-Shay, Es-cim-en-zeen and Shelter-Pau, number over sixty thousand souls, nd though large parties still roam over these Territories, having refused to go on the reserva- ‘tions, the raid across the border against the Mexi- cans, their hereditary foes, must result in great loss of life and destruction of preperty. Having broken faith, it will now Decome the duty of eur government ‘te see to their proper chastisement. They cannot remain leng absent, and the reservation they have deserted will be closed against them. The Apache ‘war will therefore assume propertions not here- tofore known, The attempt to drive ent the Me- ‘docs from their lava beds wilt be but a mere trifle ‘to it. The Peace Commissioners sent to the latter ‘will in all probability arrange terms of peace, but 4m the case of the Apaches Vincent Colyer and General Howard (the latter but recently returned from Arizona), who have faith in the amicable in- ‘tentions of the Apaches, have tried their hands and ave have the result before us. Up teayear agoall efforts to subjugate the noted cnief Cochise failed. ‘The popular feeling against him was very strong, but in his mountain recesses and haunts, dim- cult of access by troops, he, with his fol- flowers, set at deflance the power exerted for his capture. Strenuous efforts were made to induce him to visit Washington ‘without avail, but at length he was prevailed upon ‘to locate on the reservation he has just leit. The ‘talks that took place between Messrs. Colyer and Howard and the principal chiefs are given below, and it will be seen how eager they were for peace and the causes that led te their fear of coming aear the military camps, MAGNITUDE OF THE RAID. The raid now made by Cochise is s serious matter. He must have brought with him several thousand warriors, The enmity between the Apaches and Mexicans is of eld date. It is a war to the knife—no quarter on either side. The fear Of the latter of their mortal foes it is hardly possi- ble to decribe, Frontreras and Magdalena, the two towns attacked, are close te the boundary line and are places of some importance. The Mexicans in Sonora uow occupy the same position in refer- ence to the Apaches that Americans in Texas do towards the Kickapoos, who raid across the Rio Grande from Tamaulipas, but while pursuit in the former case would be welcome tt is denied in the latter. In any event it is not in the power of General Crook to follow Cochise across the frontier, owing to want of suficieat troops; but in the interests of humanity seme- thing must be done to punish and stop the maurauding savages who have broken their pledges and carried war inte the Territory of a friendly Power. THE BLOODY GROUND. Arizona has been for years the modern bioody ground. The Apaches have murdered white men and women by the scofe, and robbed settlers and travellers on the highways. It 13 not to be sup- posed that there has been any failure to pay them off in kind. Fearful slaughters of Indians have taken place; one particularly, at Camp Grant, in April, 1871, was characterized by the great- est inhumanity, and for seme time the war against them has been ene of simple extermination. As to who is in the wrong, opinions differ. Army officers and government agents lay the blame en the whites, while tne lat- ter and the Territorial functionaries say that it is impossible to live side by side with the wild red men, The latter unhesitatingly denounce the efferta of such humanitarians as Vincent Colyer and General Howard, whe know nothing of the Apache devils, and unreservedly applaud the vigorous policy of General Crook. The country is rich in gold mines, and the miners, beyond ques- tion, have too often suffered from savage attacks, and even with a large number of Indians oa the extreme southerm reservations the business men of the Territory very iately petitioned the War Department to remove the headquarters from Tucson, the capital, toamore nerthern point, in Consequence o! Indian attacks on trains and mail riders coming from California and the head of the Colorade River. It is impossible, the settlers say, for the people on the Atlantic side to believe the stories of the bestiality and utter degradation of the Apaches to be true, but no person who has ever visited Arizona or New Mexico hesitates to put perfect taith im every recital of barbarous acts done by them and utterly refuses to believe anything which may ve said in their favor, Phi- Janthropy towards them is Puch absurd. For iifty years tae settlers declare the Apaches have been the scourge of the country, and yet they are 80 lowlived and cowardly that it only requires a strong hand to show them they must live in peace or be exterminated ike vermin. They cannot be kept on reservations; they are so craity and quick of movement that in one might a party of them will run away, do some of their favorite work and be back before morning, so that it is impes- bible for an efficer to tell who did the deed, A RELENTLESS WARFARE. There can be no doubt that the Southern Apaches have by their frequent depredations and outrages caused great Joss and injury to the citizens of Arizona and New Mexico, and so exasperated have the settlers become that they are determined not te cease to wi a relentless warfare against the disturbers of their peace and Spoilers of their property. They compiaim, not without reason, of the increasing tendency ef these Indians to leave their reservations in bands Perhaps from thirty to one hundred strong, and move on to or near tae cultivated lands owned and occupied by white settlers im the vicinity. In several cases these red raiders have taken pessession of the houses of the settlers living in the thinly populated bpd and, r rifling them of their contents, actually destroyed them, Unable to obtain protection from the gov- ernment, they have banded together as a last re- sort, fully determined to defend their hemes with their lives. It is trae that all the Indians im Ari- wona are not bad, and that many of their chiefs and captains exert themselves to preserve peace with the whites, but the citizens fail te see any distinction, and, as stated above, It is impossible to find the eviidoers, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION. ‘This brings us .o the ether or Indian side of the hi question. ‘They have many complaints te make, the most important bein they have pas ae to leave their old mnsing eo nore they do ge upon sterile reservations hot get enough to eat, and that they will not starve nor see thelr ‘children starve Sroand them while the means of subsistence 13 wi their reach.

The Apaches, with their terrivie Feputation for bloodthirstiness, were the friends oi the Ameri- cans when they first knew them, and when first laced on reservations, in 1858, were industrious, telligent and made rapid in the arts o1 civilization. ‘Their ili-will and CONSTANT WAR WITH THE MBXICANS aroge from the fact that the Mexicans denied them any rights to the seil as original occupants and waged a war ef extermination against them.

They sent word back they were @ party of prospectors on their way to the mountains, and declared that “the: would cross the reservation.” Guns were place’ in position, and the military commander informed the invaders that he would open fire if they en- tered the mouth of the canyon, This had the effect of causing the party toreturn, The most singular art of the matter is that Dr. Wilbur, agent of the psegees, accompanied the expedition. APACHE CHILDREN TAKEN CAPTIVE. The Apaches complain that at the Camp Grant massacre twenty-seven of their children were taken captive, and that only four have been re- turned. It appears that the rest were carried into Mexico and Sold as slaves, and all efforts to re- cover them have been fruitless. Cochise in his late raid may have gone alter them. These circumstances have aroused apprehension that they have been wrongfully dealt with, that they Rave been enticed, under the display of tne white flag, to come in to be slaughtered, and these things, no doubt, have led to the manifesta- tion ofa determined hestile spiriton the part of the leaders, The facility with which the Indians on the reservations obtain whiskey is an unmixed evil, All the enmity and hate of their character are given {ot sWay when intoxicated. Mexicans carry on 6 trade of selling liquor, and it is done in such a way that itis impossible to detect the guilty par- ties; and there another class (Americans and Mexicans), who, under the name of traders,debauch the women, defrand the menand weaken the in- fluence of the government. All efforts to weed them out have failed, and, despite the law, they ply their demoralizing vocation.

Last September Jour ranches were attacked simultaneously by a detachment of the Third cavalry, and forty Indians were killed, a great many more wounded and eight women and children captured. At neany the saine time a party of soldiers, while on a scout, killed seventeen warriors. and took one girl pris- oner, and a few weoks since over a hundred Apaches were destroyed. The Modoc war bears no qomperieon to ths resuits, and, ther, the casualties on the part of the troops were nil, The war in Arizona during the Jast ton years has cost us a thousand lives and over forty milliens of dollars, and the country is no uieter nor the Indians nearer extermination than ey Were at the time of the Gadsden purchase. ‘The war that is now certainly upon us threatens to be more bloody and cover more ground than ever before. Cochise and the other chiefs, not- Sinenting. Saar rotestations, have proved faise and noe faith can be held tn them for the 1uture. The settlers in Arizona and New Mexico will de- mand ® Vigerous Policy, and there wiil be no lack of Mexicans to cross the line and take vengeauce on their traditional enemies. The peace policy has been found wanting. A lesson not to be torgotten has now to be adiministered the Apaches. Brigham Young cannot prevent it. FOREIGN ART NOTES, A.W.

The liscontent, therefore, is only natural, and, taken in connection with the eft-repeated ‘violation of promises and the relentless war waged against them, lead them to look with distrust upen the whole white race and to entertain many doubts of the good intentions of the government. MORMON EMIGRANTS TO ARIZONA. A few days since we had a report that a pioneer party of 200 Mormons were about leaving Salt ‘ake for Arizona for the purpose of settling on the line of the thirty-fifth parallel, along which the Southern Pacific Railroad of California 1s to con- nect with the Atlantic and Pacifio road. The coun- try, it would seem, offers inducements to the fol- lowers of Brigham Young, and it is eee an ex- odus will take place from Utah to that Territory. It must be remembered that the Mormons have always succeeded in living in amity with the Indians, but this is accounte for by the fact that Young was for many years Superintendent of Indian Affairs in Utah aad managed to impress on the minds of the Indians that the bounty of the United States Which was distributed by him was the result ef Mormon igen carats. An imaginary line divides the two Territories their entire width, and, no doubt, a geod understan has been maintained with the Apaches, Pimas, Coyoteros, Pinais and other tribes in Arizona, Besides Cr the nature of the country will prevent its being filled up with Gentile emigrants, The Atlantic and Pacific road, new i course of construction, will pass through the Camp Verde reservations of the Apaches Arizona, but it is mot known whether the immeal- ate construction of this road is being proceeded with or not. It is admitted that the present at- titude of some of the Indians on the preposed line is not very favorable for peaceable operations. Perhay solution of the Indian difficulties may be reach yy the expected Mormon migration, and the strong aad suflicient escorts and garrisons necessary for the presecution of the work, COCHISE, In November, 1871, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, as intimat above, was anxious to have the great Apache Chief, Cochise, visit Washington. ‘The condition of the 1,200 Indians at Canade Ala- mosa reservation was most deplerable. They were witheut foed and clothing. Superintendent Pepe, ef New Mexico, sent out a party to com- municate with him. They found the camp and family of Cochise in Arizona. Cochise, with @ few warriors, was absent on a scout in Sonora, as he ts now, with @ larger party. Later the chief was met, and in reply to m: ges sent him, said that he desired peace, but was afraid to take his women and children to the reservation on account of the numerous scouting parties of troops and citizens in Arizona and New Mexico, and that he would not go without his people. There was some reason to doubt the correctness of this information, and 8 third deputation was despatched frem Santa Fe to endeavor to persuade Cochise and his baad to come to Canada Alamosa. These messengers were turned back by General Creok, who was in the field in command of 400 cavalry. Mr. Piper, am Indian agent, stated that General Crook refused to recognize the thority of the New Mexican Superintendent an rew his letter down with disdain; that his instructions autherized him to capture any American or Mexi- can that was iound on his route.’ He would not let the messenger get his rations, which were at some distance from where he met the party, and told him he was lucky to get back with his life without his rations. Mr. Oolyer arrived soon after, but did net succeed in meeting Cochise. It was re- ported that General Crook and Mr. Colyer came to cross purpeses, but this was officially centradicted by the latter, ONE-RYRD RILEY. ‘This chief, against whom the United States troops are pow operating, had a talk with Colonel Dud- ley, of the Third eavairy, before going to vhe reser- vation. He said all his tribe were ready for peace, They were tired of living an holes and on the tops of mountains. Now their women and children had to feteh all their water two or three miles. ererenals not go down ve the streams, except at night, for fear of the soldiers; that they hid their infants and small children among the rocks for safety; even the rabbits were safer than the Indians; that their people were all starving; that they must steal or Starve; that the seldiers had driven them away from the co! elds; Pm was scarce; they were afraid to ge out and hunt. One-eyed Riley, ac- cording to Colonel Dudley's report, spoke of his children—four of whem hi been killed by seidie1s—with tears streaming down his cheeks. He wanted to e 8 peace, roll @ rock on it, and make it till the rain came and washed the rock level with the [fig dw He asked for five days to go and see all is people; that he did not want any bianket, for he was satisfied the soldiers now wanted to do right and he wanted to go pack and induce Del- Shay and all bis captains to come in, and the blankets and clothes wouid retard his rapid travel- ling. He expressed great fears of the Pimas; did mot want them to come into camp while the Apaches were there, and fertunately a military es- cort was sent out in the rear of himself and party, for lurking Pimas were tying in wait for them on the trail. Colonel Dudley concludes wy stating that he was present at many talks on the plains the past seventeen years, but had never seen so much feeling or good sense exhibited by an Indian as One-Eyed Riley showed. DEL-SHAY. Early month a detachment of the Fifth cavalry marched from Fort McDowell in pursuit of Apaches, Whe were reperted to be committing depredations in that vicinity, On coming up with them a fight ensued, and the entire number of In- dians were killed, and about the same date eight soldiers and twenty Pimas had destroyed a band of one hundred Apaches in one of their mountain strongholds, They belonged to parties of One-Ryed Riley and Del-Shay. The latter in @ talk with Vincent Colyer in November, 1871, said:—‘l don't want torun over the mountains any more, I wiil make @ peace that will t. 1 will keep my word until the stones melt, so that bota can travel over the country and have uo trouble, God made the white man aud God meda,” a representation, in medieval spirit, of a fight with a dragon, the subject probably being the battle with the Dragon ef Wantiey, “Wili-o’-the-Wisp,”? ‘The Lady of Shalot’’ and several portraits have beer cngaging the attention of Mr. Bog es.

He was born in St. Domingo in 1787; attended, in 1810, the studies of Vincent and David, at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, and obtained the grand prix of 1813. At a recent sale (January 18) in Brussels, of Pictures belonging to M. Brienen, the following rices were realized:—Rosa Benheur’s “Le ‘enaison,’’ 17,800 francs; A.

They will be interspersed with many of the Oiner works of Creswick. Next April General Scott will succeed as Secre- tary at South Kensington Mr. Henry Cole, who is te manage the London International Exhibition. At the Louvre, in the hall occupied by the so- called “Diana Hunting,” are to be piaced many important objects dating from the most ancient epoch of Greek art to the time of Pericles, includ- ing the bas-reliefa of tme architrave of the ‘Temple at Assos, in Asia Minor; those found by M. Miller in the island of Thasos; the fragments oi the frieze and metepes of the Parthenon, acquired by the Count de Choiseul-Goufier, and the funeral vases found at Marathon.

At the last meeting of the Phetographic Societ; of London a parer was read by Mr, Edward J. Gayer om “The Fading of Albumenized Pictures.” The object of the i r was to show how albumen prints fixed in hyposulphite of soda might be rendered permanent, and to ex- plain upen chemical principies why albumen prints so fixed are permanent. No change whatever, Mr. Gayer said, is requisite in the usnal mode of toning the albumen print; the only change is in the mode of using the hypo-bath, which is as fol- lows :—Dissolve one ounce 0; hyposulphite of soda in eight ounces of water in a periectly clean glass bath, and having taken it into the dark room, immerse in {t one print, net more than eight inches square, for ten minutes, or at-most a quarter of an hour; then take the print out and rinse it in two waters for afew minutes before removing it from the dark room; aiterwards: let it receive the usual washing in plenty of water, the latter opera- tion being performed in the daylight. The hypo- solution is now thrown away, as it is quite useless for fixing a second picture. According to Mr. Gayer’s statement, after ten years’ ex- perience of this processia India, prints treated as abeve described have always remained unaltered and fresh looking, while those treated in the ordi- nary way have faded sooner or later. Each print Angin & separate hypo-bath, and it is also essen- Ual to the success of this precess that the fixing and first washings should be done in the dark room, It is also necessary that the size of the print should be in proportion to the quantity of hypesulphite ot soda used to fix it. An ounce of hyposulphite of soda in eight ounces of water is the proper strength of solution; and this quantity will suffice only for one print eight inches square, which should not be allowed to remain in the solution for more than @ quarter ofan hour at the most, The temperature of the bath is also a matter of seme importance, the best temperature being from sixty degrees Fahrenheit to eighty degrees Fahrenheit. The seventy pictures left by George Mason are now being exhibited at the Burlington Club, Not more than twenty are complete works. The col- lection includes comparatively early pictures and studies made in Italy, and more purely idiosyn- cratic paintings of English themes, marked by mah artistio inspiration and great power of execution. Here are to be found “The Evening Hymn,” “Cross. ing the Moer,” ‘The Gander,” “Girl Driving Geese,” “Return from Ploughing” and “The Harvest Moon.’? The Atheneum well says:—“To Frostio inspiration Mason added the most subtle feeling for harmonies of color, and, what is extremely rare in this country, tone. His extraordinary powers were devoted to subjects usually homely, and always genial and gentle; the refne- ment of his tuste was peculiarly conspicuous in the simplest and apparently most trivial and natural subjects. A barren common, the skirts of a wood of spindling trees, a si) iz harvest feld at sunset, @ garden with linen hanging to dry, & group ot country girls returning trom miiking and caught ina Spring storm, the gathering of black- berries, mist on a moor, a girl driving geese and & score not more ambitious themes were exalted by his art, never weakened by false pathos, In his feeling for his subjects, as in his technical treat- ment of them, there was unfailing harmony of sentiment, not sentimentality; grace and beauty, never beauty made apparent tor its own sake. Harmony, which oid-fashioned people call keeping, obtained everywhere in Mason's works, His power of grading in perfection ail the elements of his desiga was, perhaps, the strongest proof of his genius,’?

HOW INTERVIEWS WERE ARRANGED. Toregka, Kansas, Feb, 13, 1873, Senator Johnson was called before the committee at ite session lust evening, and swore that Frank Bacon, a member of the House, had said to him that he had been offered $2,000 in money to vote for Pomeroy by Rohrabacher, an unseated member. Christian A, Rohrabacher was next sworn and said that he came to the present Legislature as a member of the House from Sumner county, and was here during the Senatorial caucus; was & member eleven days; witmess had frequent inter- views with Pomeroy, who considered him friendly; he did not know of Pomeroy paying any member any moncy for his vote. The witness here stated that Pomeroy had authorized him to use money to induence Dr. Davis and Dr. Cummings, members of the House, to vote for Pomeroy; this was at the hotel where Pomeroy was stopping and previous to the first ballot; Pomeroy stated that DR. DAVIS COULD BE BOUGHT for two or three hundred dollars; he had heard that Davis had said that all he wanted was his ex- penscs paid; Pomeroy wanted witness to see Cum- mings, as he might desire some money also; thia was between the 26th and 28th of January, 1873; Pomeroy, however, furnished witness with no money. Witness stated that he did not make any such propositions to tuem, and he told Pomeroy that he did not helleve that Cummings would sup- port him; witness did not, on behalf of Pomeroy, offer any money directly to any member, but he ‘was authorized by Albert H. Horton, United States District Attorney (the bosom friend of Pomeroy, who testified so strongly to all want of complicity on his part before the committee), to offer Representative Bacon $2,000 if Bacon would vote for Pomeroy; Horton said for witness to tell Bacon that if his vote was recorded to elect Pomeroy, and if he would vote for Pomeroy he could have $2,000 by going down to his room. Witness transmitted the mes- sage to Bacon, and, no doubt much to his surprise, was told by Bacon that “the little thing would not work.” Witness testified to Horton and Represen- tative Searey having had a private interview, but could not say what occurred. The witness testified that he was the guest of Pomeroy at the hotel, and he did not know whether the hotel bill was paid or not. Witness stated that he had resided one year in Kansas; came from Black Hawk county, Iowa; that while residing there he was subject to crimi- nal prosecution for burglary and the larceny of $26,000; WAS CONVICTED, SENTENCED to the Penitentiary and served there for two yeara and a half, until pardoned out by the Governor; he was pardoned in consequence of events transpir- ing proving his innocence of the crime, and the pe- tition forthat purpose was numerously signed b; people of the county where witness resided; witness, while a sitting momber of the House, applied to Horton for a loan of money; Horton replied that he could not let witness have it then, as it would not do, but for witness to wait a iew days. Witness saw Horton after the election and told Horton that if Hortop would give him $50 he would go home and not appear before the investigating committee; Horton said, “Why, go before it! Ihave been before ee, witness re- lied that it would not do; that if they pressed him he would have to tell about the Bacon matter; Horton answered it would make no difference, as he had not been authorized to make any such offer. The witness said he was witling to be under- stood that he was willing to go home and avoid testifying before it, and would have gone had he received the $50. During the contest for his seat, witness said that while he had made no promise to any anti-Pomeroy member to vote against him, yet he had to make a good Lord, good Devil fight to accomplish his purposes. THE ANTECEDENTS OF THIS WITNESS, as testified to by himself, show that Pomeroy, during a political fight, maintained clese com- munion with other than Church members. It is common and unnoticeable for people here not only to ask of any stranger they may meet his name, but also what his name was where he came from.’ If it is proposed to make an innovation and supplement this by asking what penitentiary they last served in there are people Who would be fas- tidious enough to object. The witness stated that Pomeroy was alone with him when the interviews were had wanting wit- ness to approach Or. Davis and Dr. Cummings. At the time of witness’ election ne would not have voted for Pomeroy. The witness stated, in explanation of his conviction, that he was pardened by Governor Merrili on facts developed provving his innocence, and that on his return home from prison he was ten- dered a public reception by the citizens of Black- hawk. He exhibited to the committee a letter from Governor Merriil,in which the belief was expressed that the witness was a deeply injured man aud Was innocent. REPRESENTATIVE O'DRISCOLL Was next sworn. He stated he had been offered money for his vote by David Payne, and Hoke and Brown, of Atchison. Payne told him that what he offered was government money, that he believed it was stolen money and he advised witness to take it. Hoke and Brown were friendly to Pomeroy and witness did not know in whose interest Payne offered the Hae Hoke asked him his price, and Brown told him he could get money, but witness did not see any. Representative Eldridge, a member from York’s county, was next sworn and said he had known Pomeroy forty years; the first meeting of witness and York took place in Pomeroy’s room Thursday evening previous to the election; witness was then having a private conversation with Pomeroy, when York, Peck and Page came in, and, upon their coming in, arose to 0, but was requested to remain by both York and Pomeroy; York said he had cailed to see Pomeroy about the Ross letter; Pomeroy took trom his pocket @ letter from the conutumacious J. B, Stewart and one from Clarke, in which Pomeroy’s authorship of that letter was denied; York, after reading the letters, asked Pomeroy if he had written the Ross letter, to which Pomeroy replied, ‘I did not; York said he desired to ask Pomeroy further questions, which Pomeroy declined to answer until York told him whetier he believed what had already been told him by Pomeroy; York replied, that from the evidence produced and what Pomeroy had said, his opinion as to Pomeroy being the author of that letter was very much shaken, and that Pomeroy was a very greatly abused man or ® very bad and wicked one; Pomeroy said he hoped that YORK WOULD SUPPORT HIM, and York replied that he could not then make up his mind; upon the conclusion of the visit, as the party were about leaving the room, Pomeroy told ‘ork that although York was politically opposed to him they coutd still be friends socially, as he had always treated York well, he thought; York re- plied that he had never been treated more kindly by any one than by Pomeroy and his family, and thereupon the party withdrew. (Parenthetically, it might be added that the little political disturbance between York and Pomeroy it is hoped will not lead to estrangement socially, or a disruption of the iendly personal ties that have so long bound them be ma The next interview the witness had with York was on Saturday afternoon previous to the election, York calling on witness at his room; York told witness that he wanted to see him pri- vately; witness took him into an adjoining room, and York asked him ifhe was @ Mason or church member; witness said he was both, and York then said that he was a Mason and church member, and as @ gentleman he came to TALK ON THE He said, “Mr. E SQUARE. ldridge, you have been a Pomeroy man; I have been an anti-Pomeroy man, and I came here to elect a Senator; I think you are on the strong side; I want to go with you if you can show me how I can satisfy my constituents at home; I have personally no objection to Mr. Pome- roy, and could vote for him with a great deal of pleasure were it not for the pledges I have made to my constitwents to not vote for him; witness told him that although Pome- roy was not his first choice he was now his ardent supporter, and felt sure of his election; witness asked York if he did not see that the lobby from Montgomery (York's) County, were in Pomeroy’s interest; he replied that he did, and said there seemed to be a great change in the public sentiment tn favor of Pomeroy; witness told York that all the delegation could unite on and help elect Pomeroy and then home to- gether, supporting each other, and give satisfac- tion to’ their constituencies; that Pomeroy would do more for Southern Kansas than any other man, to which he replied, ‘I think so too; and now, you can convince Be that Mr. Pomeroy can be i elected, Ipledge you here now that I will voce for him on ‘the second ballot if not on the first.’ The witness said he used his best endeavors and arguments to show York that Pomeroy woud be elected, and to which he gave his assent; as witness was right and his argument correct, York asked if witness knew any man in the anti-Pomeroy caucus that really in- tended te vote for Pomeroy in the end; witugss told him he thought he knew of ral; he asked who they were s promised secresy ; still witness de- clined to tell, and York then and there again edged himself to vote for Pomeroy, asked if any money to purchase votes, told York that he did not be- Heve a dollar was being used illegitimately; York said it was 80 conceded by the auti-Pomeroy men; he then asked witness to PROCURE HIM AN INTRRVIEW with Pomeroy, and that witness might say he was all right; the witness made the ment with Pomeroy for them to meet in witness’ room at four o'clock that afternoon, snark Pomeroy and wit- ness compared watches, and witness went back ; witness knows that Intment was kept; he locked York in from an ingide door, and the door in the hall, usually kept fastened, was unlocked; what took place at that meeting he could not tell; witness at York's request srranged for another interview with Pome- roy, which k place on Monday evening, at eleven o'clock; watches were compared as beiore ; Pomeroy and York came, and were locked in, but as to what occurred witness did not know; at the request of Pomeroy witness hunted for York on Tuesday evening to attend a secret Pomeroy cau- cus, as he had promised to go if WITNESS WENT FOR HIM; witness told Pomeroy he could not find him, and Pomeroy replied that it was all right, as York would vote right on Wednesday, The witness, after flatly and pointedly contradicting the te: mony of J. C. Horton in some particutors, unin esting to the readers of the HERALD, leit the stand, and the committee adjourned, The Legislature this morning, in the way of a resolution, demanded of York some explanation of what he meant by charging in his speech on the floor of the joint convention certain members with having received Pomeroy’s money, and after he returns from Washington it will probably be given. VIRTUOUS EDITORS IN KANSAS. York a Pomeroy Man—Pomeroy in His Distress Says He Is Honest—Kalloch, the Boston Clergyman, the Confiden- tial Adviser of the Christian States man, ‘omeroy was using whereupon witness TOPEKA, Kansas, Feb. 14, 1873. John A. Martin, editor of the Atchison Champion one of Pomeroy’s warmest friends previous to the election, was placed on the stand this morning. He stated that an interview was had between Pomeroy and York on the Monday evening prior to the vote, between eight and nine o'clock. The witness, like Horton, who precedéd him, knew nothing; and the testimony develops the fact that hearer persons Were jpertultted 6 bask in the sunlight of Pomeroy’a intimacy and confidence the less they knew of any corrupt practices on his part. Since Ingalls’ election no man has poured out at the feet of the Senator elect more adulation than Martin, Dantet H. Horn, next on the stand, knew nothing, al- though in Pomeroy’s hotel arrangements the chief bummer and henchman. Captain George R. Peck gives the particulars of the first interview of Pomeroy and York, differing in nothing from other versions as detailed by other witnesses. , Isaac 8, Kalloch, member of the House, testified that he had visited York, at his home in Independence, prior to the meeting of the Legislature. The points which impressed witness most were that York said he was under great obligations to Pomeroy for favors rendered him in Washington; that he had entertained him very kindly at his house in Wash. ington, and had, upon his solicitation, removed the Lana Office tq Independence, and that’ Pomeroy had a right to expect York’s topos for the Sen- ator! in consequence of it. York said he be. lieved that POMEROY WAS A GOOD MAN, and that he believed the charges of corruption alleged against him were untrue, but that his constituents were prejudiced against him and he expected he would be obliged to vote against him. Witness was present at an interview between J. C. Horton, one of the conspirators, and Major Eld- ridge. Horton said Pomeroy would be beaten; if by no other means, somebody would be found who would be induced to get money from him and then make an exposure. He it would take money to carry out the campaign against him; that a thousand dollars ought to be raised at once. He asked Major Eldridge to contribute towards the amount, and stated that it would take a couple of hundred dollars to get the Ross letter lithographed, and he wanted to use the rest of the money to keep Thatcher, the editor of the Lawrence Journal, hot on the subject. He said he had to give ten dollars out of his ewn pocket to get an articie in that journal against Pomeroy, as he had noticed that the paper had contained no Pomero; artieles for several Ghy and he wanted funds suf- ficient to keep them in all the time. Eldridge de- clined to contribute. This was on Monday or Tues- day evening prior to the election. Witness swore he was one of the confidential advisers of Pome- roy and acquainted with his plans, and would have known if Pomeroy had used money improperly. Just before going to the joint convention, on the day of the election, witness went to see Pomeroy, and asked him directly and confidentially if any money, had been used by him improperly? and he answered witness most emphatically that he had not. After the disciosure by York and In- galls’ election witness went to see Pomeroy, and asked him to explain the atfair that had happened. He said he was in great distress and could not talk much at that time; ali that he could then say was that there was NO BRIBERY OR CORRUPTION in the matter on his part, and that he would prove it to the satisfaction of his friends at some future time. He did not admit or deny that he had paid York any money. Lieutenant Governor Stover brought in the package of $7,000, and identified it as the money sent to the Speaker's desk by York. ‘The money was counted by committee, and again sealed up and again placed in his hands. George ©, Crowtner, Clerk of the Senate, stated he had never received from any member of the Legislature any money refunded by them as conscience funds. It ta, in this connection, nothing but just tothe common business habits of the people of Kansas to Say that all the reports telegraphed abroad about members becoming conscience stricken and having disgorged are wholly false, and, I might add, in- famous. The committee’s witnesses are all summoned to Washington, and, whether to await and find out the decision of the Senate Committee and act ac- cordingly, or becanse there is now nothing te do, the committee adjourned its sessions until the 24th inst. Strange things have happened, and if the committee galvanize Pomerey with a sort of post- mortem respectabiilty the people need not won- der. Toa careful reacer of York’s testimony the result will not be wholly unexpected, ‘'Yhe Legislature have not passed over a half dozen bills the entire session, conspicuous among which was the bill to pay members, BRIBERY POM. No Witnesses Examined Yesterday—A Statement Criminatory of Bacon, Simp- son’s Liberal Republican=The Investi- gation Adjourned Until Monday. WASHINGTON, Fev. 21, 1873. The Pomeroy Committee reassumed its session shortly after ten o’clock. Mr. Simpson regretted to say that witnesses whom he expected had not yet arrived, They had been heard from, and if the committee would adjourn until Monday he thought he could put in all his evidence on that day. Mr. Horton said J, ©, Richardson and Senator Matherey,who were mentioned as witneses in Simp- son's statement, were present and sucgested that they might be examined, calling attention to the importance of an early close of the prosecution, so that the defence might have time to examine wit- nesses. Mr. Simpson said they were here, but he found he could not use them only in rebuttal. He would place them on the stand at the proper time. He called attention to the 1act that he had been obliged to base his statement of what be desired to prove mainly upon vague telegraphic reports of what witnesses prove before the Investigating Committee at Topeka, and therefore his statement pei definite and precise as might be de- sired, Mr. Horton said that Mr. Simpson had stated that he expected to prove BRIBERY ON THE PARP OF POMEROY’S FRIENDS, and to connect Pomeroy with the transactions by the testimony of Messrs, Bond and Bacon. He had a telegram from Leavenworth stating that John C. Murphy had denied that he offered Mr. Bond money for his vote, as stated by Bond before the committee, and he desired, if the committee should decide that the testimony in question connected Pomeroy with the alleged transactions, that Mr. eo ‘be summoned. Mr. Bacon had testified that he ( orton) had offered to buy his vote. He (Hor- ton), while zealous of his reputation in this com- munity and betere the committee, knew that Bacon's statements could not affect his character in Kansas, and, therefore, uniess the committee should decide that Bacon’s evidence affected Pom- eroy, he would Day no attention to it; but, if the committee should decide that Pomeroy was af- fected, he desired to summon J. Dolan, from whom ne had received the following letter :— Arcnison, Kansas, Feb, 16, 1873, To Judge A. H. Horror, Washington, D. FRIEND HoRton—I see’ by the papers that Bacon, @ member of the Legislature, json his way to, Washigion in company with York an@’Ben Simpson to testify that he was offered $2,000 to vote for Senator Pomeroy. I thought it my duty to inform you that this man Bacon of- fered to sell to me his vote for $3,000, He had done so on three different occasions. 1 told Senator Pomeroy of his offer, and SENATOR POMEROY REFUSED TO PAY any money for his vote. This man Bacon he was clectéd as a hiberal, and was subsequently under no obligation to any republican for his vote, therefore told ine he would vote for the man who would Promote his interests the best.

Domingo, Past and Present, with a Glance at Hayti,” by Samuel Hazara.. Mr. Hazard will be re- membered as the author of the best book which has yet been written on Cuba, afd if his “Santo Do- mingo” is unequal to bis previous work it is be- cause his subject 1s inferior in invérest and picta- resqueness. The customs of, old Spain, which in Cuba are more Spanish than in Spain itself, have been almost obliterated in St: Domingo. The revolution of 1793 obliterated almost everything Spanish in the island, and the wretched negroes who now inhabit it offer nothing in their manners end customs for the pen or pono of oné except @ ca ricaturist, Indeed, the everyday realities of Domincan existence are a caricature, The ament- ties of civilized life are not.observed. Intelligence and industry are unknown. The fruitful earth yields only ‘what chance has sown. Hayti is almost as wretched as St. Domingo, and both parody freedom and republicanism. It is little wonder, then, that the island is almost a ‘terra incognita, To most Americans it is as absolutely unknown, except in name, as the most insignificant island et the South Seas. Mr. Hazard’s book is accordingly a very timely work. Init he tells the whole story of Dominican history, and thus shows how the present was born of the past. Any one who would understand the question of annexation or the full meaning of the Samana Bay Company scheme should read the book, for Mr. Hazard brings to- gether in this volume more information im regard to the island than was ever before gathered in 0 small a compass, He tells everything that one wants to know of the country, and tells it well, “‘A Manual of Land Surveying,’ by David Mur- Tay, Professor of Mathematics in Rutgers’ College, has been published by J.

It is re- rted that Mr. W. P. Clyde, the owner of the jorida, has backed his steamer heavily to beat the Niagara’s time by a Gozen hours at least. Bad weather 1s to be expected in the ocean at this sea- son, and it is probable that both vessels will have good opportunities of showing their weatherly ca- pacities. It is certain that both vessels wil fo there as fast as steam can take them, for the swi! est sailer will undoubtedly get the contract. The Florida, which wag expected to leave this port at the same day and hour as the Niagara, has been wore unavoidably in her departure for a few jays. “ROBBING THA CITY, A day or two since Commisstoner Van Nort called the attention of Captain Bennett to the fact that a number of contractors were carting sand from certain unpaved streets in the Tweifth precinct, thus robbing the city of thousands of dollars’ worth of valuable builaing and paving material.
