TELLGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, July 7, 187%. Mr. James J. O'Kelly, the imprisoned Herrarp Commissioner, is still confined in the national prison of Santander, Spain. HIS PRISON. His present quarters are somewhat better than those he was forced to occupy in the island of Cuba, but they are far from being as good as they might be. WHY HIS CASE HAS BEEN NEGLECTED. The last Spanish revolution has imposed upon the government duties deemed mare im- perative than releasing unjustly imprisoned foreigners. It is evident that Mr. O'Kelly must linger in prison yet a little longer, subject to the barbarous impulses of Spanish ofiicials. DIPLOMATIC OPINIONS. Telegrams received from Mr. Layard, the British Minister, and frgm Minister Sickles are to the effect that the Spanish government are well disposed in the case. Mr. O’Kelly Ordered te Change His Pres- ent Prison for One in Madrid. Maven, July 7, 1873. The Colonial Minister has ordered Mr. James J. O'Kelly, the Heraup Commissioner, to be transferred to this city. HOPES OF RELEASE. There is good reason to believe that his re- lease will soon follow. SWITZERLAND. TELEGRAM 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD, Berne, July 7, 1873. The session of the Federal Assembly was opened to-day. THE HERALD’S LATEST BEAT. BaLtrmore, July 6, 1873. The greatest sensation that has happened here since Harry Gilmore's raid was the appearance of the HERALD in the streets this morning four hours in advance of the usual time. The newsboys’ cries of “Here’s your New York Hk-Raxp, with all the noos and the full account of the great Centeny-ary at Philadelphy,” attracted great curiosity and un- bounded surprise, and the HERALDs were disposed of with alarming rapidity, Many of the incredu- lous were so astounded at THE UNPARALLELED FEAT of getting the paper to Baitimore in a little over six hours that they couid scarcely be made to be- Meve that it was a legitimate transaction, and that it was none other than @ “sell.” They, however, soon got Over that. One news dealer was so shaky that he telegraphed to parties in New York to ascertain if the HERALDS sold in the streets of Baltimore were not antedated; others wagered, that it was an impossibility to send papers such a distance in such a short space of time, but they all gave in to the inevitable truth. A wag, at the corner of Baltimore and Charles streets, during the. after- noon, was surrounded by a large crowd who were eagerly discussing the strange event, when one Jellow pointed to a dark object floating far away on the horizon, “That,” said he, ‘is THE HERALD BALLOON. It dropped seventecn packages at the Calvert street depot, and is now on its way to Washington. I tell you what it 18, boys, it’s hard to beat the HERALD, and I guess the next move will be to send the HERALD by telegraph.” The crowd scanned the speaker, and then the mite in the air, and went on their way fully impressed with the news they had heard and the enterprise of the HERALD. So, the lightning special train was @ complete success, and the Baltimoreans are well pleased. Heretofore they have been accustomed to receiving their New York dailies late in the afternoon, and this innovation on the old timg régime is hailed with great satisfaction, and the HERALD, as THE PIONEER in the movement, is looked upon with especial jJavor. The conductor on the Philadelphia, Wil- mjngton and Baltimore Railroad, upon whose train was placed the HeRanps after leaving Phila- delpina, was dumioundered at the undertaking. His emotion and enthusiasm were so great that ater swallowing 2 chew of tobacco whole in the en- deavor to give vent to his feelings, he at last yelled ingham Palace, and $12,000 to the policemen who | tthe agent, “By Jove! talk about your London Thunderer; why, it ain’t knee high to a duck in | comparison with the New York HeRap; it beats the world.” At Wilmington, Del., the excitement was almost as intense as when a steamship is on the eve of being launched. Young and old bought of the newsboys, and from the eagernass with which they SCRAMBLED FOR COPIES it was plain to be seen that the enterprise was ap- preciated. Here, as elsewhere along the line, the people were at first inclined to the belief that they were trying to be made the victim ofa hoax. The idea of a LLERALD special news train, poor souls, never entered their heads. The national capital was likewise electrified by the shouts of the HERALD newsboys early in the a/ternoon, and for the first time inthe history of that city copies were to be had containing all the news of the day at least FIVE HOURS IN ADVANCE of the usual time. The cry is, “Keep it up if it takes all Summer.” Philadelphia has been, thoroughly aroused by the experiment, and the business men are anxious that it shall become a fixed fact. Here in Baltimore the same desire is expressed on all sides, and to you, 0 HeRaLp, do they look to for its accomplishment. THE LONG BRANOH RACES.

MM. Rane and De Cassagnac in Deadly Combat. M. De Cassagnac Dangerously Wounded—Fx- citing Causes of the Fight and Publio Antecedents of the Moen. TELEGSAMS TO THE KEW YORK HERALD. Lonpox, July % 1873. A special despatch from Paris to the Londen Times, under date of the 6th inst., says:—‘The duel between M. Arthur Rane and M. Paul de Cassagnac is to take place at five o'clock to-mor- Tow morning.” M. De Cassagnac Dangerously Wounded. Parts, July 7, 1873, The duel between MM, Ranc and de Cassagnac took place this morning on Luxembourg territory. M. de Cassagnac was seriously wounded, M. Ranc was also wounded, The Cause of the Combat and Public Career of the Combatants, MM. Rane and de Cassagnac are well known in the world of Continental politics and press Iiterature in Europe. M. De Cassagnac was at one time named the “Mameluke of the Empire’ under Napoleon il. M. Rano, who was a prominent and active mem- ber of the Commune, is @ man of most varied rev- olutionary expericnee, a lawyer, novelist and journalist, and has been a member of the staff of M. Gambetta’s organ, La epui Francaise, He held office as Prefect of rolice under M, Gam- betta, M. Rane sits in the French National Assem- bly as Deputy for Lyons. The Assembly coufirmed his election after a very suggestive devate. A committee was appointed to examine into General L’Admiranit’s demaud for authority to prosecute him for his share in the proceedings oi the Com- mune, and of this committee, consistung of filteen members, thirteen were in favor of and two fgainst the prosecution. The political significance of the proceedings 18 to be found in the tacts that, though M. Kane signed the decrees for attacking Versailles, and be ara M. Thiers in reference to the hostage ‘Thiers allowed him to go un- courtmartialled, It was suggested that this abstention was due to some compromising oilers upon the part of M. Thiers, and at the same time hinted that an inquiry would iead to awkward dis- opuring: th edings M. De Cas uring these proceedings M. De Cassagnac gave offence to M. Rane by his remarks on the cause, ACTION OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY. The Bureau of the Assembly charged with the examination of the elections for the Rhone met in session and heard M. Ernoul (Justice) with refer- ence to M. Ranc’s claim to sit in the Assembly, The Minister declared tuat M. Ranc was prosecuted im 1853 after the conspiracy of the Hippodrome, and was sentenced to a year’s imprisonment by the Tribunal of Correctional Police; he was after- Wards set at liberty by the general amnesty of 1859, Alter the Commune M. Ranc had been summoned by the law ofiicers of the Seine to answer for usur- pation of public functions, A warrant for his ar- Test was issued, but not executed, In August, 1871, military justice took the matter up, but it was abandoned, as the examining magistrate had dis- missed the case. The new Deputy has since then Sppeared as @ witness before # court martial, which did not consider itself called on to change his tion into that of a prisoner. The Bureau considered that M. Ranc, “not having been condemned to ot sentence involving the loss of civil rights or by default, was Consequently per- fectly auigbie to a seat in the Chamber.” The Prince de Joinville abstained from voting on the question relating to the prosecution of M. Ranc, It will be remembered that the Prince, being de- sirous of serving in the war against the Prussians, Was arrested and escorted to the frontier o1 France by orders of M. Ranc, then Director of, Public Safety. M. RANO AND NAPOLEON III. A Paris journal, referring to M. Ranc, quotes a retrospective anecdote, which gives a good idea ofthe man. It says:— In 1653 M. Ranc, then an obscure individual, ‘Was summoned beiore an examining Judge of the Empire relative to an attempted asgussination of Napoieon I. An unknown individual, clerk to @ huissier, led away by the ig ge of the secret societies, had formed the daesign of shooting the Emperor. The magistrate charged with the affair interrogated M. Ranc in_ these terms:—“‘You were acquainted with M. X. (naming the accused)?” ‘Yes, sir.’ “He men- tioned to you his intention to make an attempt on the life of the Emperor?’ “Yes, sir.” “From what I see,” continued the examining Judge, turn- ing over his papers, “you endeavored to dissuade 9 friend from his project ?’ At those words M, Ranc breathed freely again, and answered, “All 1 aid induce him not to carry out his intention.’ “But in what manner,” returned the other, “Did vou stay tne arm of the wretched man? He has himseli told us you said, ‘You are shortsighted, and will miss him.’ M. kanc bowed his head, He could not deny that he had used those words, It will be imagined that such @ manner of discouraging regicide justified the imperial policy in not losing sight of M. Gam- betta’s future Prefect of Police. A Valuable Prize for the Winner in a Two-Mile Running Race. TO THE UNDERGRADUATES OF ALL UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES IN AMERICA:— GENTLEMEN—I have been requested by Mr. James Gordon Bennett to state that he will offer a piece of plate, of the vaiue otf $500, to be competed for in @ two mile running race, on the track of the Hamp- den Park Association, at Springfeld, Mass., at ten o'clock on the morning of Thursday, 17th inst. Any one may take part who has been connected as an undergraduate with any college or university in America for the greater part of the collegiate year recently closed or now closing. This notice is short, but of necessity, as the idea did not occur till very recently. But it is really for many long enough, as at this time of year such numbers are from much exercise at rowing, base ball or in other ways in quite good condition, that if they make the most of the time yet remaining they can show well in the hour of trial. The quickest time by any Oxiord or Cambridge man over the same distance in 1866, 1867 or 1868 was 9m. 50348, while in the year first named 10m. 208. were required by the winner. It is not expected that these figures will be equalled here this year; but any one who can on the day of the race run two miles in twelve or even thirteen minutes had better enter, as the renewal of these yg next year will depend much on the resuit of is. All entries must be made by letter to the address below, on or before Monday, 14tn inst., and must be accompanied by @ catalogue for 1872-3 of the college of the person entering, together with satis- lactory evidence of such persun’s connection with such College for the time above required. Each runner is requested to wear in the race the | colors of his college, and in such a manner that they can be easily distinguished for a quarter of a mile at least.

The New Orleans Terror in One of Its Phases. Indians Satanta and Big Tree to Receive Clemency, of Course. THE HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Naval Appointments and Changes in the Revenue Marine Service. WASHINGTON, July 7. 1873, The Arrested Men of Rapides and Grant Parishes—Fuil Evidenee Against Them. ‘The recent arrest of the residents of Rapides and Grant parishes, who kave been brought betore a United States Commissioner at New Orleans, and held for trial before the United States Court, are understood to be the resuit of a iong and secret investigation pursued by special agents of the De- partment of Justice, and indicate that the law oMcers have now suficient evidence to proceed to trial under the Ku Kiux section of the Enforce- ment act of May, 1870. The secrecy of the investi- gation was found by experience to be necessary in consequence of the unwillingness of some and the fears of others to give any information that they thought they might be called upon to sub- stantiate in Court. As now reported, com- Plete success has attended the compulsory policy pursued, ail names of culprits and witnesses and other essential facts being now in the possession of the government. In some instances the accused will be confronted by friends, summoned as wit- hesses for the prosecution, and these latter, if they determine to give no testimony against the prison- ers, must perjure themselves, with the full knowl- edge that they are liable to conviction and punish- ment upon the testimony of the secret agents to whom they have imparted information of the cir- cumstances attending the massacre. The circum- stances so related are said to fully sustain the al- legations already made of atrocious crueities prac- ticed on the Grant parish negroes. The Satanta and Big Tree Casé—The Governor of Texas and Secretary De- lano in Consultation—The Secretary Friendly to the Indian At an interview to-day between Secretary De- lano, Governor Davis, of Texas, and Mr. Smith, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, in reference to the release of Satanta and Big Tree, tt was agreed that Superintendent Hoag should notify the Kio- was and Comanches to meet at Fort Sill, Texas, for @ eonference with Commissioner Smith and Gov- ernor Davis on the 8th day of August next. Super- intendent Hoag thinks the prisoners should be re- leased, as he is under the impression that Governor Davis promised them if they would return their captives and behave themselves the release of the imprisoned chiels would be ordered. ‘The Indians have returned their captives:and now promise to behave themselves, but Governor Davis is not dis- posed to put any confidence in these promises and Wants time to prove the truth of them. He de- mands as a condition for the immediate release of Satanta and Big Tree that the Indians will give up their arms and horses, return to their reserva- tion, place themselves under military surveillance and draw the rations, otherwise the prisoners can- not be surrendered. He believes the only true peace policy for Texas is to deprive the Indians af arms and horses and let the military have com- plete control ofthem. Secretary Delano expressed himself as having more confidence in the Indians than General Davis has. While he of course desired that peace be maintained, he was in favor of dealing as leniently as possible with the Indians, and thought the fact that they had retarned the cap- tives and were now behaving themselves was an argument in favor ot their iuture good behavior, Governor Davis leaves here this week for New York to make some efforts to dispose of $900,000 worth of Texas bonds, bearing seven per cent in- terest, payable in gold, The State debt now is about one million six hundred thousand dollars, a greater part of which was incurred by maintaining troops for the frontier defence. He willreturn to Texasin about ten days, and meet Commissioner Smith, of the Indian Bureau, at Sherman, in the latter part ol this month, from which point they will go to Fort Sill for the conference, In a general order just issued from the War De- partment the Secretary directs that, in conformity with the provisions of the existing law relating to courts martial and to the powers and duties oi the Bureau of Military Justice, hereafter the proceed- ings of all general courts martial convened by de- partment commanders be transmitted by them direct to the Bureau of Military Justice as soon as the same are completed and such action as is required by law of such commanders has been taken by them thereon, The concluding paragraph of the order refers to that portion of the ex- isting army regulations directing that a superior military commander to the off- cer confirming the proceedings may sus- pend the execution of the sentence when in his judgment it is void upon the face of the pro- ceedings, or when he sees a fit case for Executive clemency, and in such case that the record, with his order prohibiting the execution, shall be transmitted jor the final orders of the Presi- dent (which regulation the Secretary regards as legally inoperative, because it is incon- sistent with the sixty-fifth and eighty-ninth articles of war, which provide that any gen. eral officer commanding the army or colonel com- manding a separate department may appoint a general court martial when necessary, but no sen- tence of the court martial shall be carried into effect until laid before the officer ordering the same for approval, and the oficer so ordering may mitigate any punishment except in cases of death or where the officer is to be cashiered, The Howard University and the Suspen- sion of its President—General Howard Exonerated—Financial Condition of the College. The members of the committee appointed by the Trustees of Howard University to consider and re- port upon certain statements assailing the financial management of Howard University, and more especially designed to cast discredit and suspicion on its President, General Howard, have submitted their return, together with a statement of the pres- ent financial condition of that institution. Among other denials they say the recorded proceedings of the Board of Trustees will show that no single dollar of University money wasever voted asa gratuity to General Howard, nor any money at any time under any pretext, to which he was not justly entitled in consideration for valuable and indispensable ser- vices faitnfully rendered, and there is nothing mysterious or difficult to explain in the present condition of Howard University. The report is signed by Frederick Douglass and George E. Baker, the Rev. Ezra Whipple, the other member of the committee, being absent from the city. There is appended to the report a statement of the avail- able resources ana total liabilities of the Uni- versity to July 1, instant. The total re- sources are $213,411 93. The total iiabili- ties are $94,666 05, leaving & balance of available Tesources of = $118,775 88. In addition to this, a statement shows the value of property permanently received for University pur- poses to be $593,916 60. The statement further shows the vaine of real estate not permanently reserved, but whichis known as salable property, to be $522,973 44. The movable property is esti, mated at $15,600, The recapitulation of the assets, after deducting the liabilities, shows the University to possess property, estimated at present rates of value, of $1,051,164. Of this property, however, hone 18 productive save the stocks, bonds, notes and mortgages, though the real estate is constantly enhancing in value. The estimated recetpts of the University for the year ending with June, 1874, is £22.00, The estimated exnenditures for the sama period were $32,812, leaving only $207 to be raised from outside sources, A statement is submitted, also, showing General Howard's receipts trom the U1 ‘sity and his dis- bursements from his private iunds for the Univer- sity since bis connection with it. He has received, including the $11,000 of back pay voted him, $17,583, and has expended on account of the Uni- versity in contributions to destitute students, loans, subscriptions, endowments, &c., $16,906 18, ‘The latter statement is certified to be correct by two accountants who have examined Generat Howard's books ana papers. The deficit of $821,000 charged avainst Jacob ‘Thompson, Secretary of the Interior under Bu- chanan’s administration, is explained by the state- ment that that amount of Indian trust bonds was abstracted by one Goddard Bailey, a clerk in the Department of the Interior. The deficit, though charged to Thompson’s account, is carried from year to year in the accounts of the Secretary of the Interior, The Indian trust fund accounts of secre- rary Delano have been settled up to June 30 last, American War Veasels in Asintic Waters, Commodore Baker is detached from the com- mand of the Wyoming and placed on waiting orders, Rear Admiral Jenkins, commanding the United States naval forces on the Asiatic station, reports from Shanghae, May 26, the following movements of vessels under his command:— On the 27th of April he temporarily transferred his flag from the Hartiord to the Monocacy for the purpose of visiting porta between Hong Kong and Shanghae. He visited Swatow, Amoy and Foo- chow, calling on the Viceroy of the latter place, and being, as he was imformed, the first foreigu ofMcer who had obtained an in- terview with him. The present Viceroy on account of ill health had usually avoided receiving such interviews, The Admiral had a pleasant interview with the Viceroy, and was conducted through the Chinese arsenals, dock yards and schools near the Pagoda anchorage. On the 13th of May he arrived at Ningpo and visited the Tontai and the military commander, and onthe 17thof May arrived at Shanghae, finding there the Hartford, Iroquois and Palos, The Hart- ford sailed trom Hong Kong on April 30, arrived at Amoy May 2 and at Shanghae May 10. On May 47 the Admiral’s fag was retransferred to the Hart- ford, The Lackawanna was at Yokohama May 23 under orders to be at Nagasaki early in June, ‘The Saco arrived at Nagasaki May 11. The Yantic sailed May 19 for Amoy and Nagasaki. The Palos was under orders to relieve the Ashuelot at Tient- sin, The Idaho remains anchored at Yokohama. Appointments by the President.

The Yellowstone Expedition. A despatch received from Stanley's Yellowstone Expedition, dated at camp, seventy miles west of Bismarck, Dakota, June 30, states that the health of the whole command was good. The Indians were offering no serious resistance to the location of the railroad through their hunting ground.

The Military Element To Be Introduced Into the Force. The loungers about the Central OfMce yesterday morning were more than usually numerous. Some rumors had spread to the effect that important changes were to be made, and the place-seekers were early and largely in attendance, The fact seemed to have entirely escaped their memories that the day was not one of those on which the Board meets. A moment’s reflection would have taught them that no transfers, dismissals or re- tirements would be made without the full Board, and that would have been impossible yes- terday, as all the members were not in town. There are, however, some changes going on that are certainly taken no notice of by the loungers about headquarters, but which are of a very important nature to the public. These im- provements look more to the general standing and efficiency of the force than to the gratification of any particular setof men or to please political partisans. As soon as the present Board of Com- missioners took office General Duryee directed his attention to the drill of the men, He made two or three inspections of them, and en the closing day of these examinations delivered them an address complimenting them upon their quickness and steadiness of movement. While General Duryee was abie to admire the pro- ficiency of the officers in drill as they understood it he saw many things that could be conveniently introduced in the system that would tend mate- rially to advance it in point of efficiency for public uses. Foremost among these in the mind of the Commissioner was the — the men into a more military training and teaching them the use of arms, ‘The idea was communicated to some of the other Commissioners, and they entertained it warmly. General Duryee’s desire is to have the men properly instructed in military drill, and to have them supplied with arms, so that in the event of a public necessity they could be used at once, without waiting to call out militia or the regular soldiery. The movement would be beneficial in many ways. It would give the officers a gr iT reliance in them- selves and cause an increased fear of them by the “roughs’’—two very important points to gain and which are very desirable at the present m it. It is unders that General Duryee is now ing arrangements Jor a gift of 1,000 stand of arms from the State to the police, and as soou as he ob- tains them operations will begin at once. The feeling among the men on the subject is one of great satisfaction, aa the arrangement Will give them greater security.
