Its Obligations. A Motion for Dissolution Referred, Versarties, July 9, 1874. In the Assembly to-day the message of President MacMahon, of which notice was given yesterday, was presented and read by General De Cissey, Minister of War, as fol- lows :— THE MESSAGE. When you, by the law of November 20 last, delivered the Executive power into my bands for seven years, you intended to afford to public interests that security which pre- carious institutions are powerless to give. That vote conferred upon me great duties, for the fulfilment of which I am accounta- able to France, and from which I can in no case be permitted to withdraw. It also con- ferred rights which I shall never exercise ex- cept for the good of the country. Your confidence rendered my powers irre- vocable for a fixed term in forestalling votes on constitutional bills. In according them you yourselves enchained your sovereignty. Ishall employ the means with which Iam armed by the laws to defend my power. This course, I am convinced, is in accordance with the expectations and the will of the As- sembly, which; wien it placed me at the head of the government, intended to create a strong, stable and respected power. But the law of November 20 must be com- pleted. The Assembly cannot meditate tear- ing up its engagements. Let it permit me to pressingly remind it of the claims for the ful- filment of that engagement. The country demands the organization of the public powers, and questions which were reserved must be settled. Further delays will depress trade and hamper the prosperity of the country. I hope the Assemblyywill not fail to patriotically fulfil its obligations. I adjure it, in the name of the highest. interests of the country, to deliberate without delay upon the questions which must no longer remain in suspense. The Assembly and the government are | jointly responsible. I am desirous of accomplishing all my duties, and my most imperative duty is to in- sure to the country defined institutions, se- curity and calm. I have instructed the Minister to inform the Constitutional Committee concerning the points upon which I believe it essential to in- | sist. A MOTION FOB DISSOLUTION.” At the conclusion of the Message M. Raoul Duval argued that the Assembly was power- less to constitute a definitive government, and moved that it dissolve after having voted upon the financial bills, the bill on military organization and the bill providing for a gen- eral election on October 25, He demanded that his motion be declared “argent.” The demand for ‘‘urgency”” was supported by the Left and the Bonapartists, but was rejected by s large majority. The Left Centre voted with the majority, thinking that MacMahon’s message increased the chances of Casimir-Perier’s bill. REFERRED. The motion was afterwards referred to the Committee on Parliamentary Initiative, in which the Left predominate. A favorable and speedy report upon it is therefore certain. j -THE SEPTENNATE BILL. The Committee of Thirty has approved the bill favoring the personal Septennate, and the debate upon it will probably occur within a few days. Paris Presa Opinion of the Situation. Pants, July 9, 1874. The republican journals of this morning consider that yesterday’s proceedings of the Assembly demonstrate the powerlessness of that body, and declare that dissolution is the only remedy for the unsettled political situa- tion, Prominent Bonapartists To Be Prose- cuted. Pants, July 9, 1874. The report that application had been made tothe Assembly for permission to prosecute M. Rouher is confirmed. Itis asserted that two other Deputies are equally compromised, The examination into the proceedings of tbe Central Bonapartist Committee is still proceeding. American Journals Seized in Paris. Pants, July 9, 1874. The San Francisco journals containing ar- ticles written by Rochefort have been seized in the Post Office. English Reports from Paris—Probable Result of the French Cris Loxvon, July 10—5 A. M. A Paris despatch to the Times says M. Du- val’s demand for ‘“urgency’’ on his motion for the dissolution of the Assembly, after vot- ing upon the bills named, received 180 votes. It seems certain that if M. Casimir Perier’s bill be rejected, which seems | a fresh proposal for dissolution or for a protracted prorogation; but most probably the former, which will then obtain a large majority. WASHINGTON.

Pavy, Minn., July 8, 1874. SECRETARY Of Wag, Washington :— rs A terrible calamity has betallen the people of the several counties in the northwestern part of this State, The locusts have devoured every kind of crop and left the country jor miles perfectly bare. They did the same thing iast year in the same area, Many thousands are now suffer for food, and I am using every public an private source that ! can lawiully com- mand to send immediate supplies of food. This State is entitled to two years’ quota of arms, estimated at $8,160, [ respectfully request what the Subsistence Deyavaneue be ordered to turn over to me in lieu of these arms a quantity equiva- lent in value of rations, or such parts oj a ration, as i may require, I should not make this request but for the gravest reasons, and to prevent 1mme- diate starvation I have used every resource which the State has given, LT earnestly hope that the obstacles of form will not be allowed to interfere. Please advise me by telegraph. 0. K. DAVIS, Governor, Chief Clerk Orosby forwarded the telegram to Secretary Belknap, at New London, with the in- dorsement:— There appears to be no authority of law for diverting an appropriation from its proper source, even in Cases Of emergency. The Titles of Lands Received from Gov- ernment. Cop's Western Landowner for July contains the following :— There are remaining in the General Land Office, undelivered, more than 300,000 patents for agricul- suralland. Of this number about 75,000 are from T1ll- nois abd nearly a8 many from Indiana and Missouri, Among them are patents signed by Monroe and by ‘ana jor every otner President up to Lincoln’s time. ‘The cause jor this accumulation of patents is in the fact that many landowners believe vhe duplicate receiver’a receipt is auMicient evidence of titie to their jand. Jt ought not to be so regarded, Entries are being constantly cancelled by the Gen- eral Land Office ior informality, and if the address of an interested applicant ts not known at the local office, as too orten is the case, he, or the arty to whom he has sold his land, will some day BS much asvonished to find another person holding & goverment patent for his property. Strike of the Bank Note Plate Printers. The Columbian Bank Note Company's plate printers having declined to work at the rates proposed by the company & necessary number were sent for to New York and arrived here yes- terday and to-day. The Plate Printers’ Union was strong enough to buy off the new comers, and the Columbian Company found itself without the necessary help to conduct its business. One hun- dred men of the trade, however, denominated by the union as “shoemakers,"” yet known to be good workmen, are engaged for to-morrow. This com- pany is now printing all the backs for government notes, but no fear need be apprehended that any strike of the printers will interfere with the prompt issue ol the new notes by the Treasury Department. THE SEASIDE CAPITAL. The President Enjoying His Holidays— The Dull Season and Aching Hote} Keepers. LONG BRANCK, July 9, 1874, The President, after his fying visit to New York, remained at home the greater part of this day, He received visits from @ few personal friends, and entirely set bis face against aught of an oMetal character. He seems determined now to take advantage of the snort breathing spell al- lowed him from the politicians and interviewers and tolnduigetn his favorite recreation of driv- ing. Each day ne may be seen on Ocean avenue, handling the ribbons with an experienced hana, and speeding ateam at the same time with ail due regard to his neighoors. Democratic sim- icity marks all the movements of the Chief Pagiatrate at the suri seat of government. He dreads only the inevitable deluge of poll- ticlans and office-seekers which his presence here will bring 1orth at any time. The absence of Mrs. Sartoris, whom the ladies here will permet still in calling Miss Nellie Grant, is gorely felt. She was @ great favorite at the Branch on account of her amiability, afability and willingness to contribute to the success of the many social reunions which last season lent & charm to tuis place. The coteries of the iair sex on the verandas sigh over her departure every evening and protest that “it was real mean for Mr. Sartoris to take her away.” The season has been terribly dull for the hotei keepers so far, and visions of sheriff and courts of bankruptcy al- ready disturb their slumvers. ‘The number of guests ateach hotel Is unaccountably smali, and | rey that infest | come veritable | the thousand and one oirds of such @ summer resort have harpies. Prices have gone up instead of going down, and the poor hotel keepors, with thelr armies of hungry satellites, have lengthened visages. For many seasons Long Branch has not been go dull and unprofitable in the hotel line as at present. Prayers are being daily offered up for a Teturn of the ‘good old times."

ME TERBELENT INDIANS, General Sherman on_ the “Pampered Redskins.” Sheridan’s Report of the Fight with the Sioux. MENACES OF THE BRULES. The Rees Again Suffer from the Scalping Knife. STRENGTH OF THE WAR PARTIES. Wasurxcron, July 9, 1874. Notwithstanding the budget of warlike uews from the frontier this morning General Sherman did not get excited nor order his sword sharpened, but, divesting himself of coat and vest, coolly fanned himself and laughed at the mercury clam- bering in the nineties, A SOLDIER TALKS LIER A CYNIC, “The Indians,” he says, “under the humane and tender treatment of our Christian brethren, have been well fed during the past winter. Now the @tass is high enough for roving and predatory pur- poses, and the noble redskins have no particular use for the mild-mannered gentlemen antil next winter. The history of some of the operations of the savages would, if property detalled, be very entertaining. I remember one instance where the bungry devils were obliged to suspend hostilities for want of rations, and repaired to the agency to get their government allowance of sub- sistence. These particular students of Chirts- tian civilization had gone forth to raise the hair of an unoffending tribe, but meeting with more resistance than expected suddenly dis- covered themselves without food and applied to the agent ior additional supplies. The case was a pressing one, at least so the beggars thought, and what do you think they urged as a reason for hav- ing their demand promptly attended to? Nothing lesa than a fear chata portion of the troops sta- vioned at the agency would be sent to protect the tribe against which one assault had proved unsuc cessful, There was the sublime spectacle pre- sented of one portion of our army feeding Indians who were ready to fight another portion as soon as they could getaway. The ietters and telegrams received to-day speak of @ scarcity of provisions in some localities and the fear that the Indians will resent the failure to provide for them liber- ally in such @ way as to make it unpleasant for OUR HANDFUL OF TROOPS ON- THE FRONTIER, Still 1 do not see anything to make me apprehend more than the annual raids of some of the restless warriors" “Most of the army, then, 1s stattoned on the fron- tier f? asked your correspondent, P “Yes,” replied the General; ‘but a very few troops are stationed in the South at present, A small force ts necessary at our forts to keep the men up in artillery practice and protect the buildings and grounds; but the great bulk of the army iS, a8 you gay, located on the frontier. And that reminds me that the Fifth cavalry, which has been doing good service in Arizona for several years, expected to change places with the Sixth cavalry, stationed in Kansas and the Indian Terri- tory; bat I suppose the Indian dificulties will pre- vent the transfer this summer. Our troops have not been changed about for some time; in fact, we have not many to order anywhere.” THE BLACK HILLS EXPEDITION. “What do you expect from Colonel Custer’s ad- venture f?” “Mainly information about @ part of our Terri- tories now unknown to civilization, The journey will not extend over 220 miles from the point of departure, and I presume it 1s the intention o¢ Custer to circle the region, rather than return by the route followed in penetrating this ankuown region. There are stories told of the fabulous wealth of this region which make one recall the famous ‘Arabian Nights,’ but of this Custer will notcare much. His march will doubtless ve at the rate of twenty miles a day, unless impeded by hostile Indtans.'" “Are our troops well armed for the venture?” “With the best arms known to the service. Cus- ter's expedition 1s 80 thoroughly organized and will move under such discipline as to make tt unprofit- able for the Sioux to dispute the march.” PROPRIETY OP THE MIUITARY MARCH. “I sce that some of the New York papers ques- tion the propriety of sending an armed force into territory which by treaty has been set apart to a certain tribe. There is no impropriety whatever in what is being done, for the United States has at all times the right to send her troops through any part of the country, and there is nothing in the treaties stipulating to the contrary. This delicate regard for the feelings of the Indians is akin to a sentiment somewhat popular in the South before the war. The moral effect of our aggressive army | do the one instance is not unlike that which fol lows an occasional harmless demonstration | among the Indians.” POOR ORGANIZATION OF THR ARMY. “Then you do not expect any serious work for the army this summer?” “None whatever. But troubles are contingent rascals, and if anything sertous should arise the confusion which always takes places under our army system, when additional force is necessary, will be sure to follow the call for troops to put down the pampered redskins.” ORDERS OF THE WAR DEPARTMENT. ‘Instructions have been promptly sent to all de- partment commanders to be unusually vigilant and active in attacking apy parties violating treaty obligations.” GENERAL SHERIDAN’S REPORT. The following despatcn from General Sheridan was received atthe Army Headquarters this morn- ing:— Lone TREE, Neb., July 9, 1874. To Colonel W. A. Wurrrne, Headquarters of the Army :— In consequence of the eas CaLaT eee by the Sioux in the Wind River Valley on the white settiers and the Shoshone indians, One of the latest being the murder and horrible mutilation of two white women, D. Juin, agent for the Shosnones, made the request that the Sioux shoula be pun- ished, if possipie. On the Morning Of the 24 of July, white General Ord and myself were at Camp Brown, and oppor- tunity presented itself, and Captain Torry, of the ‘Thirteenth infantry, commanding Camp’ Brown, was directed to send Captain Bales and Lieuten- ant Robinson, with Company B, Second cavalry, accompanied by twenty Indian scouts under Liet- tenant Young, of the Fourth =" and about 150 Shoshones ander their chiei, Wasnakie, to attack a camp of the Sioux lately establishea on the north side of the Ow! Mountain range, where the Waro River breaks through about ninety miles from Camp Brown. The avtack was made at three A. M., Saturday, July 4, the resnit being fifty Sioux killed and wounded, and over 100 horses cap- tured. Our loss was two men and Lieutenant Young and three men wounded; Lieutenrnt Young dangerously. Captain Torry telegraphs that the result was not as satisfactory as desired on account of bad behavior on the part of the Shoshones, Captain Torry went out on the 5th with ambulances and additional men to meet Cap- tain Bates, ‘ip. SHERIDAN, Lieutenant General, A MURDEROUS ROBBER, Captain Joseph Busb, commanding the military station at the Lower Braole Agency, Dakota Terrt- tory, under date of June 23 writes to the War De- partment that “on the 19th of June a Ponca Brule Indian named O’Mahn threatened the life of the government trader and Indian agent, and endeavored to take certain articles from | the trading store. At the request of the agent Captain Bush sent mounted men in pursuit, who captured the Indian’s mule, but the Indian himself escaped tnto theghick un- derbrusb, after having fired several times on his pursuers. Upon the return of the men a courier was sent to the Indian camp, seven miles below, with instructions to the chiefs to capture and bring in the offender. In the space of about four hours some 260 chiefs and warriors, mounted, ap- peared at the post with the indian, but REFUSED TO SURRENDER THE PRISONER unless the trader Waaaiven up to them, They as: sumed @ menacing attitude, All were heavily armed, some with two pistols and repeating rifles. 1 at once placed my howitzers in position and loaded with canister. The agent then demanded | the prisoner of them. After @ Jong pariey the cmets advanced with the prisoner, who was taken | ; i charge by the corporal of the guard. Tne In- qaians were then ordered to return to their camp and warned that if they fired a gun I would open fire. afser @ time ali of them retired. THE UNITED STATES COMMANDANT OUTRAGED. Upon the next day Bishop Hare, of this diocese, held @ council at the quarters of the interpreter, some twenty rods from the post, At the request of the agent I posted’my men and placed my guna in position w intimidate the Indiavs, who were very saucy, threatening the agent with arms in thetr hands, 4c. As they were dispersing I pro- ceeded to the place of council, when a demand was made upon me for the prisoner. I had no time to answer before 1 was sur- rounded by mounted and armed warriors, who prevented my return to my quarters. After some talk 1 pressed my way between their horses and Was not molested. The Indians were informed that if a shot was fired it would be a signal for my force to open fire. { am thoroughly convinced ‘that notbing but the unexpectediy determined action of the agent and troops prevented @ con- flict, The indians are well fed gn have no cause for complaint; and it 1s my opinion that nothing but & good show of force will prevent an outbreak among them. Weare in a poor position for de- fence, but I feel confident that we can handle them Should tuey continue in their warlike mood, We are in great need of horses, having but tnree at this station. MASSACRE OP REES BY THE SIOUX. try, commanding at the Cheyenne Agency, Dakota Territory, writes, under date of June 20, that the majority of the Indians who left that agency on the expedition supposed to be for the purpose of attacking the Berthold Indiana have returned to the neiguborhood of the agency. The reports brought back by those who have returned are to the effect thatthe expedition went to Fort Ber- thold, passing by the Heart Butte both going and returning; that at Fort Bertnold they shot @ woman across the river at the Ree village and drew the Berthotd Indians across the river into the ambuscade pre- pared for them; that they had severe fighting, the Sioux being greatly superior 1p numbers; that eight Rees at least were killed, the Sioux having only one killed and eight wounded. The one about twelve or fifteen miles from the station, a lad of sixteen or seventeen years of age, who, with his father (not quite as good as the grandfatner) was on the expedition. Several fresh scalps have } been brought in by the Sioux party, over which they have been very jubilant, THE ALTERNATIVES—BERF OR WAR Captain Boyd says:—“I am informed that the supply of rations for the Indians at this agency ts exhausted, except some flour and corn, and thas the agent does not know when he is to expect 8 farther supply. Should the issue of rations, and especially of beef, be stopped for any lengthened Period, I think it will lead to serious depredations, if not to actual warfare, on the part of the Indians who have hitherto been kept by feeding them ina pacifie and semt-friendly state. A WHITS MURDERER RECAPTURED. Colonel John G. Smith, of the Fourth infantry, commanding the Sioux expedition, under date of Camp Robinson, Neb., June 22, writes that Tous- saint Kinsella was captured at the Red Cloud Agency by Lieutenant Emmet Crawford, of the Third cavalry, and Lieutenant P. H. Ray, of the Eighth infantry, on the 14th inst, Toussaint Kin- sella was convicted of murder at Cheyenne, W. T., where he broke jail, and thereafter took refuge with the Indians of the Red Cloud Agency, among whom be has Ifved thoroughly disguised as an [ndian, end, apparently with impunity, defying arrest and threatening any who should attempt to arreat him. Repeated demands have been made for bim upon the Indians, which they have as often refused to comply wits. Kinsella had threatened the life of | She agent, made an attempt to shoot one Kinman, an employé of the agency, threatened the life of Captain E. R. Wells, of the Second cavairy, for capturing him tn the first instance, and recently endeavored fo waylay one Boyd, who tes- tiled against him when he was tried. Kinsella @nd others delayed the mail twenty-four hours On the 12th of June on White River, about five or six miles from Camp Robinson. Kinsella ts severely wounded in both iegs, he having refused to surrender and attempted to escape by running. He will be sent to Fort Laramie, thence to Chey- enne, where he will be turned over to the civil authorities, He has asked the Indians to petition the President for a pardon, which Colonel Smith hopes he will not be successful in, believing that he exerts & pernicious influence with the Indians. His pardon would also have the effect of destroy- ing the little authority we have over the Indians im the assumption of sapremacy. & FOROB OF SIX HUNDRED INDIANS ON THE WAB- Pare. Indians arriving from the north yesterday re- port large war parties, eatimated at from 400 to 600 Indians, divided into four parties; one in this vicinity, one near the old Red Cloud Agency, with the intention ofcrossing the North Platte; one at Laramie and one at Fetterman, these two last probably intending to cross between tne two posts. Also one party reported as intending to go to Sweet Water. Of course this isan Indian report and most de considered accordingly. The arrest of Kinsella created considerable ex- cltement among tne Indians at the agency at the time, but it has all subsided. General Ruggles, Asststant Adjutant General of the Department of the Platte, in forwarding the despatch, says the department commander has been notified of the movement of these Indians, and steps have been taken to intercept them. THES CHEYENNES AVENGING THE STEALING OP THEIB HORSES. The Indian Commissioner has received a report from Agent Miles, of the Oneyenne and Arapahot agency, dated Darlington, Idaho Territory, June 30, enclosing a slip from the Wichita Beacon, dated the 24th inst., by which it appears that three men had beenkilled in the vicinity of Medicine Lodge by Ouey- ennes. Agent Miles says there is no reason to dis- horse thieves of the border and return to them some of the animals already stolen from them, ail of which could have been done and would have been done could we have had the timely assistance of a sufictent force. WHITE HORSE THIEVES THE CAUSR OF THE TROUBLE. He also says:—It is useless for me to refer to the many appeals that have been made from this office for sufficient power to crush the element that we positively know must, sooner or later, bring us into trouble, and perhaps into an Indian war, all of which nave thus jar been anavailing, and to-day ‘we are forcea into the position where we are re- quired to cry aloud for & force to punish the very indtviduals that should have been protected only three months ago. The Cheyennes as a tribe have been well disposed, and many of them are yet so towards the government; and it was not until they were forced to leave their reservation and agency, to get rid of the horse thieves and to reach the buflalo herds, that they began to lose confidence in the power of their agent to control the adverse elements, and de- cided to take the matter ito their own hands. ‘vhe Crows and Comanches have long been urging them to join in @ general raid. This { get trom ‘Whirlwind, the Cheyenne chief, and not anti! they had been greatly provoked did they decide in a matter 80 perilous. They, of course, claim that sheir raids shall be confined to the exterminating of the buffalo hunters and the region of the coun- try On the border of Kansas, where LITTLE ROBE’S STOLEN PONTRS are suppored to be located, and where his son was wounded, The people of this inst place should have protection, as also ail other innocent persons who are legitimately in this country, The decided stand the Arsapanoes have taken with ug has tucreased the jealousy that already existed between the two tribes which, at the pres- ent time, amounts almost to hostility, and it wil, require much care and jadgment to bring Labouta reconciliation, It would be much better eee nsinpiisitiatgiaaitiaieneiba Captain Cariiie Boyd, of the Seventeenth tnfan | killed was a grandson of a good Indian who farms | believe this statement. itis simply carrying into | execution what they have said they would do un- | less the government would protect them from the | 5 for voth tribes that they were separated, and for the present I would recommend that temporary buildings be erected, as cheaply as possible, upon the lands designated for the Cheyennes, and they be invited to remove there at once, and shonid any refuse, to compel them to obey.

A telegram from Boston under date of the otm inst. reports as follows ;—Generai Robert Cowdim,, a@ well known citizen of Boston and prominent, identified with the volunteer militia, died 1as6 night. He commanded the First Massachusetts regiment at the battle of Bull Run, and was tn sev- eral subsequent engagements." This well known officer was Colonel! of the Mas- | sachusetia volunteers before the breaking out of the war, and distinguished himself greatly by the attention which he paid to its drii and discipline. On the 26th of September, 1862, he was appointed brigadier generai of volunteers, but his commis. sion Was not confirmed by the Senate, and he was thrown out o: the service by the Hliing of the piace to which he was promoted by another. He was, in fact, relieved of bis command and sab- sequently retired into private life. The roster of the Thirty-first regiment of New York volunteers shows that @ son o! General (then Colonel) Cow- din was appointed to» heutenancy 1D that regi- Ment, Governor Andrew Was urged by prominent men to appoint the young man in some Massa- chusetts regiment, but reiused. This action was Bald to be due to the fact of the refusal oi Colonel Cowdin to resign his commission in the First Mase sachusetts regiment. Upon the promotion of Gen- erai Hooker to the command of @ division, the command of the brigade aevolved apon Coionet | Cowdin. His (riends Were vastly pleased with the manner tn which he discharged his duties, but from very many of his political opponents he re- ceived nothing but opposition, and a considerable share of blame, trom all of which he has been now permanently relieved by being called to a final rest. General Cowdin'’s military record shows that ne was a member of one of the old ward companies of Boston militia as long ago as 1830, and at the time | of President Jackson’s Visit was @ sergeant. He | was afterward appointed quartermaster of hia regiment, the Third, of the {nird brigade, First division (under the old organization). Colonet Seth J, Thomas commanded the regiment. He was then chosen major, but the next year the old mili- Us system was abolished. In 1839 he jomed the National Lancers and in 1845 was elected captaim ofthe Temperance corps, the new Waslungtom Light Intantry (the old company of that name, disbanded in 1837, having reorgan- {zed under the name of Washington Light Guard). In 1849 he was elected mayor of the Fifty regiment of artillery. Of this Hh he alier- wards became colonel. In 1855 it was change@ {nto the Second infantry regiment, and was atier— ‘wards, in 1560, made the First regiment. When the news of the bombardment of Fort Sumter reached Boston, in April, 1861, Coione) Cowdin at once went to the State House and tendered the services of his regiment to Governor Anarew for three years or for the war. General Cowdin’s father was @ captain in the troops to suppress the Shays Rebel- lion, and bis grandfather was with Wolle at tha capture ot Quel Deceased leaves a wid nd two daughters, The General was sixty-nine yeare of age, William F. Gilley. The above named gentleman, 4 very useful pud- lic servant, died in this city yesterday morning, at the age of ffty-nine years. He was attached ta the office of the Register of the city of New Yorke during twenty years, and was universally respected both in his public capacity and private Iife. THE WEEKLY HERALD.
