KE. P. Suitn, Commissioner of indian Affairs, Washington :— My clerk was assassinated by Minneconjon or Unopapa indiaus, who called him out at two o’clock in the morning during my absence at the Waitestone Agency.

Marauding Indians Sammarily Dealt With in Texas—Stolen Horses Recov- ered and Ten of the Thieves Killed. Fort GRIFFIN, Texas, Feb, 8, 1874. For some time past rumors have repeatedly reached Fort Griffin that bands of marauding Indians, after depredating upon our citizens along this exposed frontier, made their way with taeir plunder, consisting generally of horses and mules, te the fastnesses of Double Mountain, where, from the rugged character of the country, they evi- dently considered themselves secure irom pursuit. The sequel shows how far they were justified in their supposition, On the 27tn of last month Lieutenant Colonel George P. Buel, post commander at Grif_in, with a small force of cavalry and friendly Tonkaway In- dians (enlisted in the service of the United States ag scouts) and sufficient intantry to guara his sup- plies, started to test the truth of these ramors, To-day we have received the satisfactory intelli- poche that the command encountered a party of Indians herding stolen horses twenty miles west irom Douole Mountain, engaged them, killed ten of (ue number and captured over sixty head of stock. ‘The casualties to the troops were one man wounded and one horse killed, Tne officers Comprising the command were Lieu- tenant Colonel George P. Buell, Eleventh infantry ; Captain P. L. Lee and Lieutenants 8. R. Colliday and E, P, Turner, Tenth cavalry, This, to ua, is a very Satisfactory mode of hand- ling the Indian question. Contradiction of the Report of the Burn- ing of Red Willow—Quiet Near Red Cloud’s and Spotted Tuil’s Agencies— Recovery of Stolen Property trom a Pillaging Bana. OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 17, 1874. The report telegraphea yesterday about the Indians having attacked settlers at Red Willow, Neb., proves to be untrue. General Ord received @ telegram to-day from Fort McPherson, which says:— “The mail carrier has just arrived from Red Willow. There is no alarm there, and no attack has been made. Before receiving this news a company of cavalry had been ordered out to scout in that direction. A courier was sent to-day to re- call them.” HOSTILITIES NOT IMMINENT. News from the vicinity of Fort Laramie 1s Meagre, but indicates that hostilities in the vicin- ities of Red Cloud's and Spotted Tail’s agencies are not imminent. Mr. Connolly, in charge of this agency’s supply train, was killed on the 13th inst. The train was saved. The attack was made near the Platte River. Frontiersmen continue to come in with their families, feeling unsafe, NO ALARM AT RED WILLOW. Arrivals trom Red Willow up to yesterday fore- noon say no Indians have been seen there and no alarm whatever exists, STOLEN PROPERTY RECOVERED FROM INDIANS, The week before last a band of Indians robbed a camp beyond the head of Frenchman’s Creek. Hunters followed them up and recaptured some of the property. A SON OF ROMAN NOSE KILLED. A Cheyenne Indian, who came into Fort Fetter- man to-day irom the agency, reports the killing of a son of Roman Nose on South Platte, near the mouth ef Lodge Pole Creek. This is supposed to be the Indian whom the trapper, King, shot.

Stokley Re-elected by a Large Majority. Pasi Balle EXCITEMENT IN THE QUAKER CITY. PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 17, 1874, A brighter, lovelter etection day never dawned Upon the city than this. The cool, bractng atmos- Phere, the warm and genial sunshine, the streets cleared from mud and the sidewalks free irom ice and dampness, encouraged an enormous rep- resentation at the polla, and seemed to bring from his home every voter, young and old, in tne city. Your correspondent was out at an early hour, apd Scoured the city from one end tothe other. ‘the number of voters assembled at the polls was, con- sidering the earliness of the morning, unasual and almost extraordinary. By the new constitu- tion each ward is divided into districts or divisions, which comprehend but 250 voters each. This es- tablishes a great number of ballot boxes, and renders it quite difficult in the absence of hourly returng to learn of the result until the election is over and the polls are closed, Pansing at each ballot box just long enough to catch a glimpse of the popuiar sentiment, your cor- respondent hurried on from post to post and recapitulates his impressions as follow: In the MTwenty-eignth, Twenty-ninth, Twentieth, Twenty-sixth, Tenth, Third and Ninth wards, despite the anticipation which every one entertained to the contrary, the election was ex- ceedingly quiet, and, while the numbers about the ballot voxes were unusually great, there were no indications of tumult or riot. In the Nineteenth ward, however, there were several knock gowns, and nothing but the presence of the police awed into submission the rampant inclination ot those bent upon arow, The excitement in the drearier quarters of the city—namely, in the Sev- enth and Filth wards—wus very great, and the negroes down there had formed jong lines, and, in @ military manner, were going to the polls in a solid phalanx tor Stokley. It is no exag- geration to state that some of these lines were fully a quarter of a mile in lengtn. As to the Germans in the Twenty-ninth ward, where McCluve’s chances were considered as certain, I jound almost all of them voting for Stokley for the Mayoralty, but repudiating the remaining names upon the republican ticket. Here at this point the issue of the struggle seemed to me to become inevitable, and that McClure did not stand even the shadow olachance, This was at ten A. M., and, hurrying from the German quarter to the Mayor's ortice. I found the returns up to that hour, At one o'clock, according to the returns received at the Mayor's ft Stokley’s majority was 5,654, Upon passing through the Fifth ward I learned that Stokley’s Majority there at four P. M. was fully 300. AT THIS HOUR RIOTOUS DEMONSTRATIONS broke out here and there. In the Eighth ward a citizen shoots an officer and an officer shoots a citizen; both slightly wounded, neither seriously ‘ijured. Several other shooting alfrays have occurred, but have been attended with no serious results, At five o’clock twelve wards of the twenty-nine in the city, according to returns, showed a majority of 6,024, The most sanguine re- publican did not expect any such majority. They | had calculated upon no more tuan 5,000, and many were doubtiul of even such a large number asgtlus. The result of the remarkable campaign has made the republicans ‘demonstrative beyond Meacepe tion, while the McClure men are proportionaily disheartened. The large reform vote which Mcclure hoped to gain he lost utterly, and demo- crats almost innumerable were found this morn- ing in the ranks-of the republicans, THE QUAKER CITY EXCITED. It is universally admitted that neither of the Lincoln campaigns, nor the campaign preceding the last Presidential election, created such intense excitement as that which is raging through this city to-night. It 1s almost midnight and yet every political centre is crowded and jammed with vehe- ment politicians, while on the leading thoroughiares: travel of all kinds is virtually suspended. ‘The fac- tories and business houses open during the day are all at this hour dusky and silent, while all who filled them are assembled here upon the street in a wild, boiling, Seething mass of human forms, In tront of the ofice of Forney’s Press the multitude is packed, sardine-like, from sidewalk to sidewalk, while irom this point up to the Continental Hotel hundreds of the interested fiil up almost every inch of space from curb to curb. In tront of the Mayor’s oMce words would fail to describe tue scene. But not oaly here at these two points is the ex- citement. manifested, but on the grand avenue of Broad street, in iront of the Union League, is a living sea. The returns whicn follow in the sequel are read here, and each report is greeted with wiid and mingling yells. In front of the Reform Club the multituae 1s equally intense, while underneath the brilliant lights of the Mysterious Pilgrims, that strange coalition of republicans and democrats whicn is usually denominated as the “ring,’? the street is filled to repletion. Everywhere, about the theatres, around the hotels, and at every point where news can be obtained there are hundreds excitedly waiting to hear the political results, Municipal Electi Elsewnere in Penn- sylvania, READING, Pa., Feb. 17, 1874.

Chiids, Jr., editor | of the weekly Register; Thomas Leary, Mr. Gregory, General Lockwood and other prominent citizens were early at the scene of the fire and rendered assistance at the right moment. The Croton Aqueduct, which runs through the village, was tapped, and after twenty minutes the hose were adjusted, which furnished water tor the hand eu | gines. There were also two large tanks in the village, and these were also used immediately, ‘Telegraph messages were sent to Yonkers and to | Tarrytown and Peekskill for assistance, which was | rendered very promptly. Yonkers sent two fire companies, Tarrytown two and Peekskill two com- panies. ‘hey were forwarded on the gravel cars, which were put into requisition. When they arrived at about nine o’clock they were received with a good deal or enthusiasm and fervor, By this time the fire had spread to a great extent, covering over two acres, bakers, butchers’ shops, harness shops and groceries burning like tin- | der boxes. Chetf of Police James Ryder, with his noble battaljon of tour men, the entire force of the villrge, was on hand and did good work. The | Chie1 says that he heard the church bell ring its the man who rings the obell for and in three-quarters of a circle there. were five roads running together in the vicinity. The wind was very fierce, aud the good people of Sing Sing began to believe that their beauti'ul town was about to evaporate into smoke, but the firemen | and about midday the | worked very hard, | flames were got under way. Then, after hundreds of thousands of doilars worth of valuable property had been consumed, Sing Sing was declared to be sale. There remains but one thing more to be sald, and that is tat Sing Sing was invaded by 300 or 400 | loaters, thieves and blackguards from Yonkers, ‘Tarrytown and Peekskill, who, being filled with bad whiskey, behaved like wiki beasts apa in- sulted everyone they came across.
