Thus a promenade through the Exposition isa tour in miniature of the world, The second western transept, both the northern and southern halves, were allotted to England, together with other space, which may be described at another time.

Baron Schwarz-Senborn Grants More Time to the United States, VIENNA, April 12, 1873, Ina Uttle over two weeks the World’s Exposition 3 to be formally opened, and the condensed treasures of the world exhibited to the gaze of hundreds of thousands of natives and foreigners, ‘To all appearances, however, the formal inaugura- tion, or opening, will be premature; for it is declared on all sides that it is impossible to get the Duilding completed and all the goods placed in their proper position, before the 1st of May. I have just returned from a thorough inspection of the Exposition edifice and of the Surrounding grounds, and return to my hotel with the impression that the best thing the Commis- Sioners could do would be to postpone the opening until the ist of June, I am also impressed with the mecessity of warning intending visitors about Teaching Vienna until June, since the Exposition ‘Will be incomplete for some weeks after the open- ing day. They would therefore either have to wait in Vienna and submit to a longer period of hotel highway robbery than they had originally cal- culated upon, otherwise leave the city without seeing the Exposition in its expected glory. I Walked through all the parts of the building, as I said, through the main avenue, into all the tran- Septs, the out-edifices, and did not find anything teady—if I except the restaurants, the beer gardens, and 4 single exhibiter of German pumps. Taking the present condition of the building into. consideration, I would say that even in America it were Ampossibie to get the Exposition anything near ready within three weeks. Now, Austrian” work- men are not American. They work by the day, and appear te be conscious of the fact. They take things as coolly as can possibly be imagined. In nd out of doors the laborers smoke their long pipes while carrying beams or unloading the cars. Inside the building Inoticed some boys who ought to have been &t work away in a far corner playing Qt pitch and toss; in another room a number of workmen were LYING ON THEIR BACKS ASLEEP. The only place where the men seemed to be pushed was in the great rotunda, where the open- ‘Ing festivities will be held. There, indeed, the Scene niight be compared to the inside of a bee- hive (and the rotunda is just as much like a beq- hive as anything I can compare it to), and Iamin- clined to think that this part will be tne only por- tion of the Exposition fit to be exposed on the Ist of May. Scenic ornamentation has, how- ever, not been commenced even there. The roof of the dome is about half covered with its fresco-like decorations, and the rest will be com- Pleted in a few days. Noticing some huge re- Mectors placed around the rotunda, I inquired of a policeman if the men worked overtime, or if there were relays. He answered in the negative; that the men came at six and left work punctually at the same hour of the evening. He was honest enough te express his conviction to me that the opening Ought to be postponed, and that it would be time enough on the ist of Jume to ‘declare the Exposition open. The great delay appears to be in connection with the Exposition building it- self, for at least a thousand freight cars are outside the building waiting to be unloaded as soon as the Space for the reception of the goods is finished: Germany alone has 400 freight cars, standing. Eng- Jand 150, Sweden 60 and Austria some nundreds, CONDITION OF THE DEPARTMENTS. ‘The only department where I noticed the first ‘attempt at the arrangement of articles and scenic decoration was the Hungarian transept. The English contributors have likewise made great advance, and their department is, perhaps, nearer to completion than that of any other country. Much of their space is already oceupied, but the greater partis yeton the freight wagons outside tne building. The Austrians have just commenced to decorate and arrange their part of ‘the principai avenue, Their transepts are as yet quite bare, and some intervening spaces only in process of building. It would require something more than a miracle to bring anything like order and beauty out of the general chaos in tne gpace of three weeks, even with the Qnusual facilities everywhere at hand and the aid of the 6,000 workmen. Mechanism and steam take the place of labor wherever possible. Vessels from the Danube can discharge their loads within a few hundred feet of the building, and from the river's bank lines of rail lead to all parts of the building. The railroad depot is only a few minutes removed from the Machive Hall, and branches of rail are laid extending through this de partment and all around the building. In the pro- cess of delivery there is no delay. It is in the etructure itself where the great incomplete- megs lies. The magnificent Machine Hall is built, but the arrangements for motive power are not yet seen. The bridge work for the support Of the turning cranks is erected; the latter have yettobe putup. The engines which the exnibit- ing nations have to supply, have not yet been Drought into position. As to the outside buildings, a few of the smaller pavilions are erected, but the seaffolding is still about the greater, number. Parks, lawns, fountains, are yet undeveloped. Everything is in a state of three-quarters finished, © yet great progress is made day by day, and Baron Schwarz-Senborn is indeed hopeful that all will be qweady by the Ist. THE AMERICAN DEPARTMENT, The progress in the American department is Satisfactory, and though we shall not make so good o show as is desirable, what there will be will be good and well arranged. The American transept is quite ready for the reception of the articies to be exhibited, and the intermediate covered spa: (between the American and English transepts) goods for the Exposition, the Supply, arrived at ‘Trieste yesterday escorted from Gibraltar by the Brooklyn. Immediately on receipt of a despatch at the Assistant Commissioner General's (Mr. El- @ath’s) office, Mr. James took the train for Trieste ‘wo take charge of matters and to conduct the trans- to Vienna. The other vessel is not due {until two or three weeks later. The fact should not ve overlooked by the govern- ment at Washington and by producers and manu- facturers, that the space now possessed by the United States in the Exposition is much larger shan was at first aletted tous 1 will exulaia how Mmits of her transepts. Not only this, but the British Commissioners had even encroached on South American territory, and had pushed their goods fifteen or twenty feet into the South Ameri- can transept. Thus, the entrance beimg in the possession of England, it was impossible to reach American territory from the western (second main) entrance without first crossing British soil, A plan will show you the state of affairs :— 6 5 al 5 6 5 5 a 3 5 B Western eatrance. Cnited States transept. ited States covered territory. South American part trausept. English territory. ANOTHER SAN JUAN DEFEAT. Our Commissioners did not relish the idea of having to cross this strip of British territory every time they wanted to get into the American de- partment, and conferences being had with Mr. Jay it was determined that Baron Schwarz should be asked to regulate affairs a little more to our satisfaction. The result was that the English suffered a second San Juan de- feat, and now the United States possesses, besides its transept and covered intermediate space of that portion of the South American tran- sept formerly held by Great Britain, and the space o! the main nave trom the entrance to a few feet beyond the transept wall. A diagram will show the gain:— 1 2 3 4 5 The shaded lines represent the American space in the main Exposition building. The space origi- nally allotted to the United States was, then, simply this one transept, 250 feet by 50, or 12,500 square feet, and a large hall for agricultural pro- ducts on the grounds. The space in the main building was considered by the Commissioners to be too small for the proper exhibition of the ar- ticles expected, when it was decided to cover in the space between the American and English transept, which gave us @ space of 25,000 feet more. The space allotted to us in the machine hall was found too small, and a wooden structure has been erected outside for the purpose of exhibiting dead machinery. Since it was decided upon to cover in the intermediate space, the Imperial Commis- sioners have allotted (atthe request of our repre- sentatives) this further space of a fifth part if the South Ameriean transept, aud the entire entrance of the main nave, @ few feet beyond the United States transept wall. Thus, we have a much larger area than can, perhaps, be advan- tageously utilized with the exposition goods al- ready sent off, The great tning to be decided now is how to fill up the space. EXTENSION OF TIME TO AMERICANS. Tam authorized oy Baron Schwarz, the Director General, to state that he will make an exception in favor of American exnibit- ors, and permit that their goods ve received up to a5 late a date as the second week in June, when the jurors will begin their sittings. This favor is granted to no other nation. I have just spoken with our Com- missioners, and they request me to state that parties wishing to exhibit snould communicate at once with Francis A. Stout, Vice Commissioner and Vice President of the Geographical Institute, 61 Chambers street, and for machinery, Projessor Thurston, Stevens Institute, Hoboken. 1 may add that American art will be very poorty represented, a result, | am told, of the Acad- emy of Design having declined to act in the matter of securing pictures for the Exposition, Fortu- nately American artists in Europe—in Rome, Flor- ence and Munich—are sending some twenty speci- mens, and these will contribute much towards giv- ing us @ better art representation. (There should be no delay in exhibitors sending further iustal- ments of goods). ~ + ee Lee The United States gains a very good position in the machine hall, which ts parcelied out to exhib- iting nations according to their geographical post- tion. We get, therefore, the western entrance, and some seventy feet by the entire width, Here the labors of Mr. Pickering will be appreciated when the Exposition is opened. The Austrian govern- ment furnishes for this bail a three and a half-inch shaft, ranning the whole extent ef the buliding each to furnish their own motive power. The Austrian shaft will have some 120 revolutions per minute. Now tbis speed was found by Mr. Pickering to be too slow for American machinery quire very much intermediate machinery to get up the requisite speed. So he has obtained permis sion to put up on one side of the American division | @ line of coid-roll shaft of two and one-half inches | in diameter, which will make 150 instead of 129 rev- | olutions per minute, and better adapted to the dis- play of our rapid machinery, The side spaces of | the Machine Hall were originally devoted to ma- | ‘will be finished in a few days. The first vessel with | chinery not in motion. THE AMERICAN COMMISSIONERS have here displayed sound judgment in deciding that, dead Machinery never showing to advantage, slender salts shall run along the side spaces for | the purpose of keeping the smaller machinery in | motion. The advantage of this idea is very great. Two small engines—one of four and the other of ten—will run these shafts, each twenty-two feet long. One side space will have a shoe manu- factory in complete working order. All the dead machinery Will be placed in the wooden butiding, near the bouer houses.

America will be the only country exhibiting her sewing machines in the main- building, for Mr. Pickering has arranged that the central space of the intermediate floor shall be studded with them, and this floor is 250 by 100. This intermediate space has a large en- trance from the Exposition greunds, and ikewise twe smaller doors leading into the American transept, Between these two doors is a length of 150 feet. To fill up this side Mr. Pick- ering has resolved upon a truly American idea. He is going to have a large table—150 feet by 8—on which he proposes to exhibit our Northern Pacific Railroad—that ts, the products and manufactures from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The walis above the table are te be adorned by the North, American Geographical Societies. Before closing this letter I would mention the fact that the Director General of the Exposition deserves the warmest thanks of the HreKaLD for the courtesy he has shown its representatives, as, indeed, to all American journalists. I visited him a few hours ago and obtained from him the information relative to an ex- tension of time to American exhibitors, He is much abused by the Vienna journais, principally I think because he has seen fit to select the Neue Freie Presse as the oficial organ of the Exposition. Baron Schwarz isa courteous gentle- man, and all Americans who have come in contact with him agree in the verdict that he is the right man in the right place. OBITUARY. ee Lam William Charles Macready, the Actor. We are informed by the cable of the death of this distinguished English tragedian, not the least among the galaxy of great actors who refiected the lustre of Shakspeare in their histrionic efforts. The sad episode in his life during his visit to this country gives the name of Macready a special interest to American readers. He was born in London, March 3¢ 1793, at- taining at the time of his death the ripe age of eighty years. His father, designing him for the legal pro‘ession, sent him at ten years of age to the celebrated Rugby School, and at this institution his proficiency in classics was of a marked charac- ter and gave promise of a brilliant future. Pecuni- ary embarrassments at home, however, interfered with his studies and dispelled the hope he had formed of entering the University of Oxford At seventeen years of age he made his first bow as an actor at the Birmingham Theatre. The first réle he attempted was that of Romeo, in which he aiter- wards won such eminent distinction. In the year 1816 he made his début in London as Orestes, in the tragedy of “The Distressed Mother,” and his fame as a tragedian of great power was at once as- sured, Even the critical Hazlitt recognized in him the coming monarch of the stage. Yet the lavish praise and encouragement received by him did not cause him to relax the efforts necessary to perfect himselfin the dificult profession which he had chosen. In 1826 he visited this country for the first time, and received scarcely less honors than those lav- ished upon him in his native land. The kindness and hospitality extended to him induced a second visit in 1848. During the years which intervened between his first and last American engagements he had a few seasons of managerial experience at Drury Lane and Covent Garden theatres, where he made the most strenuous efforts in behalf of tne highest and purest standards of drama. The memory of those seasons has not faded from the recollection of the Lon- don public, and many old theatregoers in that city speak as enthusiastically and confidently | of Macready’s company as some do here about the j ‘days of the Old Park.” The treatment received by the great English tragedian during his last en- gagement in this country is @ foul blot in the annals of the American stage. The history of the diMiculty between him and Edwin Forregt down to its tragical conclusion has been told {foxength in these columns on occasion of the Mili of the American tragedian last December. failure of Forrest during his engagement at the Princess’ Theatre, London, in the year 1845, and the hisses which greeted his performance of Macbeth, were attributed ee him to the jealousy of Mr. Macready, and he thought it was a conspiracy 10- mented by the latter tocrush him. This feeling was also entertained by -many of Mr, Forrest's friends and admirers on this side of the At- lantic; but no one was prepared for the terrible results, four years later, of this misunderstanding. When Mr. Macready commenced his iarewell en- gagement in this country in the Winter of 1848 there was a disposition manilested by the friends of his rival not to allow him to play. On November 20 of that yeara disgraceful attempt was made b: some of the Philadelphia roughs at the Arc Street Theatre to drive Mr. Macready trom the stage. Cheers for Forrest and groans and hisses for the tragedian present repeated; interrupted the” periormance of ‘Macbeth.’ During the last act he was struck with rotten eggs thrown at him irom the upper gallery. Mr. Macready made @ speech at the close of the per- jormance, in which he alluded to the unjust and bitter hostility of an eminent American actor, whom he accuse’ of hissing him a few nights be- fore. He appealed in the warmest and most feel- ing manner to the sense of justice and fair play of the American public, Mr. Forrest came out with’ @ card in the morning jour- nals, which had the effect of intensify- ing the dangerous feeling of hostility against his rivaly This feeling culminated in the Astor Place riot, which took place on the evening of May 10, 1849. A few nights previously the eutrageous conduct 01 @ number of miscreants, interspersed among the audience of the Astor Place Opera House, succeeded in driving Mr. Macready from the theatre. A written request from a number of promi- nent gentiemen asking him to favor his numerous admirers with another exhibition of his great pow- ers, and repudiating in the most indignant manner the insults offered him, caused Mr. Macready to ap- pear again on the night which was destined to end im areal tragedy. The details of this tragedy are familiar to all. During the first act of ‘‘Macbeth’’ the performance was interrupted repeatedly by hisses and shouts of derision, but before the third act was reacned a shower of missiles assailed the windows of the theatre and the efforts of the mob outside became more flerce and persistent, The calling out of the militia and the reading of the Riot act was followed by a dls- charge of musketry into the infuriated mob, by which seventeen persons were killed and thirty wounded, After the firing of the first round from the militia, Mr, Macready threw up his hands and exclaimed, ‘My God! bas my appearance led to the sacrifice of human lie’ I wish I bad adhered to my first resolution and not yielded to the solict« tations of my friends.”’ Aiter having got safeiy to his hotel from the Opera House it was deemed among by himself and his frignds that he should ave the city 48 800n aa possible. The uniform of a lief Was procured, and in that disguise he ; le't ti tel on horseback for New Rochelle, ¥ he could wait forthe first morning train for ton. It is said that he passed through a portion of tue sorsye his way out of the city, but did not excite their Suspicion. Before his departure for Karope he made a manly, dignified and dispasston- ate explanation to the American public, disavow- ing ali knowledge of a threatened riot previous to hus actual appearance on that memorable evening. On February 26, 1851, Mr. Macready took his final leave of the stage on the boards of Drary Lane Theatre, London. The vast theatre was crowded 4 to its utmost capacity, and the applause and en- thusiasm Was of the most vehement character. The parting words of the tragedian were:—‘“My Jast theatrical part is played, and,in accordance | with long-established usage, | appear once more before you, Ihe distance of more than five-and- | thirty has not dimmed | lection of the encouragement which gave fresh impetus to the inexperienced essays of my youth and stimulated me to perseverance, when struggiing hardly tor equality of position agamet the genius and talents of those artists | Whose superior excellence | ungrudgingly admit- ted, admired and honored.

W. L. Sharkey. William L, Sharkey, qx-Governor of Mississippi, died in Washington at an early. hour yesterday morning, after an illness of six weeks’ duration. He was carried off, by an attack of typhoid pneu- monia, at the age of eighty-three years. He was born in South Carolina, but emigrated to Mississippi at an early period in the history of that State—say forty-three years since. He studied law, wac called to the Bar, and soon became eminent as a jurist and not less 80 as a political leader. In the year 1865 he was elected United States Senator from Mississippi, to fill the unexpired term of Jefferson Davis, after having then being honored with more State offices than any man in the State, perhaps, except ex-Governor Gilbert Galatin Brown. His talent soon gave him & prominent position, although he belonged to the whig party, which was largely in a minority in Mississippi during most o1 his career. He was a member of the mira House, Speaker o1 that body, and Chancellor of the State. In that position he acquired, by the ability and importance of his judicial decisions, a national reputation, taking igh rank with the great law lights of America, He conducted himself in office as to win the Dlaudits of his opponents, even in a time of pas- sionate political excitement. During Mr. Fill- ministration he was appointed Consul to and was in Cuba during the memorable filibustering expedition of Lopez and his com- panions. In his relations to the abolition question he was considered the most moderate in his hos- tility to it of the public men of Mississippi. He was uniformly an undeviating Union man up to the beginning of the war, Iu 1862 he was arrested at Jackson, Miss., for refusing Confederate money in payment of debts by order of General Van rn. He took no part in the war, ving his attention #s best he could to his private business, so that his antecedents as well as his talents, and the general respect telt jor his private character, qualitied him to take the lead in the Union reorganization of the State. Judge Sharkey was, defore the war, the leader of the “constitutional union party” of Mississippi, and presented by the delegates of his State as a suitable candidate for the Presidential nomina- tion to the Convention which nominated Bell and Everett in 1860, In the year 1849 Judge Sharkey took issue with Jeff. Davis on the question of yr 4 repudiation, and, as Judge of the Court of Api is, declared the State debt to be con- stitutional and legal, and that it was obli- eg & on Mississippi! to assume and pay it. the month of December, 1865, the President of the United States, through the Seore- tary of State, relieved Judge Sharkey of the trust of Provisional Governor of Mississipp!, and recog- nized his duly elected successor ip tae person of Governor Humphreys. The letters addressed to them were similar to those written to the Provi- sional Governors and Governors o1 the other South- ern States, remitting to the constituted autheri- ties chosen by the people the care and conduct of their proper affairs. In personal appearance he was dignified, but affable and unassuming. His height was {fully six feet, and his figure sufficiently developed to avold gauntness. His face wore a kindly expression, and was eminently of a con- pon ative aud judicial mould, rather than execu- ve. THE CABLE MONOPOLY---MODES OF RELIEF, haben aici {From the Journal of Commerce, April 29.) Next Thursday, May 1, the new extortion of filty per cent advance in cable rates goes into effect. We have already denounced this breach of faith, this outrage on the public patience in the terms it deserves; but it is a theme that invites frequent and most indignant comment, and we mean to cut and come at it again and again until the company learns that it cannot with impunity repudiate tts plighted word and sacrifice every- tning and everybody to its insatiate avarice. If a merchant should seek to increase his line of cus- tomers by announcing that on and after a certain day he would reduce the price of his goods twenty-five per cent to all who bought from him up to that time, and then should turn about and run up the prices on them fifty per cent, that operation would fairly be called a false pre- tence. This is precisely what the cable company has done, as we explained in a former article. It tempted its patrons into making arrangements for regular despatches some time ago by the promise that on and afcer the Ist of May the then exorbi- tant rates would be cut down one-quarter; and, now that the newspapers and business houses have perfected all their plans tor a larger use of the cable, and engaged new correspondents in the various capitais of Europe, the unscrupulous cable management coolly tells us that the rates have been raised flity per cent, on the former price, or 100 per cent on the tariff promised. ‘The etfrontery of this is matchless, sablime. This cable company owes its ' existence to the aid obtained from the United States government (in money and ships) and ftom the press. But for government t and whole-souled newspaper support the be no working oceam cable to-day. The moment the cable was operative, the press became its most liberal and constant patron, and has con- Passed the Bard of Avon finds a place in the human heart Forrest Macready unued so to this day, iving in return only ingratitude and “duplicity. There has been a time when the newspapers pe were decently treated by the cable people; ifany concession was made or eee it Was seemingly only for the purpose of enticing the press into new arrangements for correspondence, of whica the company took advantage as soon as possibie by advancing the rates, or by throwing every obstacle in the way of the press obtaining pri- ority of intelligence. It has been known even to delay press despatches far out of their rightful order. The cable company hgs always treated its first and best friend, the press, as its natural enemy. At last our patience, long and sorely tried, ves way, and we cast about for some relief from this greediest and most cold-blooded of monopolies. There are two methods by which the pride of power can be taken out of this bloated corporation. One is the laying of a cable by the governments of the United States and Eng- land. We are opposed, on principle, to the as- sumption of the work by the United States gov- ernment, in whole or part. But there are two sides to this question as toevery other; and we do not deny that there is much force in the arguments that can be used against our own, For this government to lay a new cable wouid be but an extension of the original policy by which the present cable company was assisted, That concern would have no right to oppose tne princi- ple of the thing. Our government could claim tu: there was an absolute necessity for owning (alone, or in company with England) a cabie through which it could send without the least delay the constantly growing heaps oi telegrams to its finan- cial agents and diplomatic and consular represent- atives in Europe. During the proceedings at Geneva the American government patronized the cable enormously, paying enough into the treasury of the monopoly to make @ handsome dividend on the stock. We have no doubt that henceforth, owing to the exceedingly intimate and fast increasing re- lations between this country and Europe, the neces- af government patronage of the cable company wul nearly amouni to the interest and the cost of laying a new one, All that can be said in behalf of the government purchase of the land telegraph lines and the creation of a postal telegraph sys- tem—to which we are opposed—could be said with much more cogency in favor of a government cable to Europe. All government undertakings of this character are theoretically objectionable, but this one, we confess, Would be the least so, A general desire, We presume, will be felt thronghout the country that the government should now eng: in an enterprise for which so many plausible reasons can be given. im the event of po rgae t+ cable being laid, the Pres and the public at large | would jqubtless be served much more cheaply than yy fhe present monopoly, and we might at last honestly forced to say that the case was an exception (0 Ag! general Tule, But there is another escape from this Intolerable tyranny, and that is for the press of America to lay iis own cable. The press is strong enough and rich enough to do this of itself; but it could count on outside aid to almost any extent. Primarily the object ot the press would be to get its own despatches through at reasonable rates; but, after ail that was done, there would still be ample time tor the transaction of an immense quantity of other business. Commerce and trade, the natural allies and supporters of the press, would be peculiarly inclined to assist in the laying oi a cable under press auspices. It would everywhere be felt that so powerful an institution as the Amer- ican press, Which manages its own concerns so successtully, could be trusted to manage @ cable with economy and profit to all concerned, and with a system and despatch unknown to the monopoly. A press ca%ie would coin money at rates far less than those now charged; and, what is of great im- portance, the public need have no fear that such a cable would be sold out to the grasping combina- tion. It would always be jor the interest of every newspaper concerned in the enterprise to keep up the competing company; for there is no assurance that any terms which the press might make with the monopoly in selling out a company of its own would not be perfidiously broken the very next day. We could say much more in support of the plan of a press cable, but at this time only throw out the thought lor general discussion. THE ATLANTIC WRECK.

They are self- explanatory and will be read with interest :— GENERAL ORDERS—NO. 12, Prescort, April 7, 1873, It is with pleasure the announcement is made of the surrender of large numbers of Indians lately hostile, against whom military operations have been prosecuted for the past four months, and the assurance through the chiefs and head men of these tribes of their desire and the desire of their people to conclude a permanent peace. ‘These propositions are made in the midst of a campaign in which they have been severely pun- ished, and the Department Commander, believing in their sincerity, announces and hereby declares peace with the tribes referred to. The basis of this peace is simply that these In- dians shall cease plundering and murdering, re- main epee their several reservations and comply with the regulations made by tne government through authorized agents for them. So long, therefore, as they remain true to their apronmens they will be protected by the military of this department in the enjoyment of all their rights under the law. After a sufficient time shall have elapsed to en- able the friends of any renegades still at large to bring them in apo their proper reservations post commanders will use the troops at their command to pursue and force them in; and in case any such straggling bands continue to remain absent with- out proper authority they will be forced tosur- render er be destroyed. GENBRAL ORDERS—NO, 13. Prescort, April 8, 1873, The following memorandum of instructions is perny, published for the guidance of oificers com- manding troops stationed on the several Indian Reservations in this department :— 1, With a view to bringing the straggling bands and families still at large upon reservations, and to serve as @ nucleus for the establishment of civil government, a small number of the Indians re- cently used as scouts will be retained in service under existing laws at each of the reservations hereafter specified. Eachof these detachments willbe under com- mand of an officer, designated by the Department Commander, who Will have charge, under super- vision of the commanding odicer of the post, of their clething and accounts; but the post com- mander may communicate with them direct, at any and all times. These Indians will be selected from among the best of the’several wribes, and will be liable to be mustered out for misconduct towards the indians of their own or other tribes, or other good cause, and their places filled by others duly selected. They will constitute the police force of the reser- vations, and, while required to attend regular musters and inspections, will not only be allowed, but will be required, to cuitivate the seil and per- form the varions industries prescribed by the In- dian Department, the same as other Indians. ‘They will be used trom time to time, upon appli- cation of the agent or the commanding oficer’s own motion, to preserve the peace, report and correct any irregularities that y occur among their own or other tribes in the vicinity. i. commande, Ofiicers will aid the duly au- thorized agents in instructing the Indians in and establishing among them civil government in its simplest form, enabling them to settle their differ- ences according to the usages of civilization, grad- ually showing them its benefits as contrasted with their own barbarous forms and customs, To do this effectually will require ditferent forms to suit the peculiarities of different tribes, and the ageuts of the several reservations are requested to meet the oiticers commanding the military on their respective reservations and agree upon the neces- sary forms, being careful ‘to make them too complicated at first Jor the comp! nsion of the tribes to which they are to be applied, leaving them to be enlarged with their capabilities, so that when the auxiliary force can be dispensed with they will be capable of self-government, and event- ually become good citizens. While they should not be judged harshly for acts which in civil codes would constitute minor offences, care should always be taken that they do not succeed in deceiving their agents and the oMcers in matters of great import, being careful to treat them as children in ignorance, not in in- nocence. Perfect harmony between the officers of the In- dian and War departments, on duty together, is absolutely necessary in treating Indians so lately hostile and so apparently incorrigible, and the Ve- partment Commander earnestly enjoins this har- mony and directs, in case of difference in mat- ters where the line is not plainly marked, that officers carefully avoid such difference being made known to the Indians and that they reirain from any overt act in the matter at issue until instruc- Hons from these headquarters shall have been re- ceived. What the Troops Accomplished=Thanks to Officers and Men—Names of the Most Distinguished. GENERAL ORDERS, NO, 14. Prescott, April 9, 1873. The operations of the troops in this department in the late campaigns against the Apaches entitie them to a reputation second to none in the annals of indian warfare. In the face of obstacles heretofore considered in- surmountable, encountering rigorous cold in the mountains, followed in quick succession by the in- tense heat i arid wastes of the desert, not in- frequently at dire extremities for want of water to quench their prolonged thirst, leaving their ant- mais when stricken by pestilence or the coun- try became too rough to be traversed by them, and, carrying on their own backs such meagre supplies as they migbt, they persistently followed on, and, plunging Xpectedly into chosen pesi- tions in lava beds, caves and canyons,they have out- Witted and beaten the wiliest of foes with slight joss, comparatively, to tiemselves, and finally closed an indian War that has been waged since the days of Cortez. While the Department Commander is aware that this task has been performed in pursuance of com- missions held and obligations assumed with a high sense of duly and honor, it is due to the ofMf- cers and men engaged that they should know that the task has not been a thankless one, but that dis- Unguished officers of the Civil and War Depart- ments, the General of the Army and of the division have advised him of their appreciation of the ser- vices thus rendered. In the accomplishment of this task the Depart- ment Commander commends the cai cal named officers, enlisted men, Indian scouts and guides, Whose services have been spectaily reported or per- formed under the Department Commander's own Observation, and whose names have not heretofore been mentioned in orders for special services, as follows :— For gallantry atthe battle of the Caves, in Sait River canyon, Arizona Territory, December 23, 1 ptain W.

Boston, April 29, 1873. The trial of the offending members of the Massa chusetts Medical Society, against whom charges have been preferred by the society because they practise homeopathy, commenced to-day. Among the prominent physicians on trial are Dre. William Bushnell, David Thayer and J. T. Taibot. No. 2 of the specifications alleges “that while a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society you have joined and are a mem- ber of @ certain society called the Massachusetts Homwmopathic Medical Society, which adopts as its principle in the treatment of disease a certain ex- clusive theory or dogma Known as hommopathy, and whose purposes are at variance with, an which tends to disorganize the Massachusetts Medical Society.’ The trial attracts quite a large attendance of medical doctors.

Hart, president, and H. C, Luce, treasurer. All the mem- bers of the Board elected by the bondholders on the 17th inst, were present, except Mr. Oliphant, of New York.
