Lieutenant Smither, of the Tenth cavalry, with @ body of troops, was sent to the camp, and succeeded in recovering fifty-two head of cattle which had been run off by the Indians, ‘The body of one man was found, scaiped and filled wita arrows, The Indians made good their es- cape. Hteutenant Colonel Davidson says he is guarding too long a line, irom Red River to the Cheyenne Agency, and wil! have to break up the camp. Lieutenant Maxon has orders to move down to Wichita Agency as soon a8 the troops arrive irom the Department of the Missouri. If ne had more cavalry, Colonel Davidson says, he could make it hot for these redskins by operating trom Fort Sill. The wildest stories are in circulation about the combined iorce of Kiowas, Comanches and Chey- ennes moving to attack Fort Sill, but Colonel Davidson expresses a belief that every man at the fort would be glad if they would make an attack.

Professor Swift’s Observation of and Description of the Stranger. ROCHESTER, N. Y., July 30, 1874. In @ communication to the Bemocrat and Chronicle Protessor Swift says:—“‘A new comet ‘was discovered at Marseilles, France, on Sunday morning last, in the constellation Draco, the an- nouncement of which reached me this morn- ing by the New York HeRaup, I com- menced searching for it at early darkness, and in @ few mmmutes caught sight of the stranger. It is Lyre large and bright tor a tele- scopic comet, and has a strong central condensa- tion, but, as far asl could judge by observation, both in the solar and lunar twilight, it has no nu- cleus or tail. It is in the fourth coil of Draco, and moves at the rate of about one degree a day,” A MURDEROUS ASSAULT. Disgracefal Scene Under the Shadow of the Central Office. At twenty minutes to one o'clock this morning a row took place in the lager beer saloon kept by Mr. Jaumaan, at No. 49 Bleecker street, A large crowd of persons was attracted to the place by the shouts of twu young men, who were being violently clubbed with @ policeman’s baton on the bead by the proprietor of the place, These men were first unmercilully beaten by the infuriated proprietor, flung in the street covered with blood, which was flowing fast from their heads, dragged back again and clubbed again. When the clubbist grew tired he thrust both into the street with the assietance of some friends, then gathered the friends within the saioon and shut the door, This was going on for six minutes and no policeman appeared. The saloon is situated on the Fifteenth precinct side of the street. Two policemen, one irom the Four- teenth precinct and one from the Fifteenth pre- cinct, are on duty in the street. Both | have short posts, one consisting of that part of the street between — Broadway | and Bowery. Both during the progress of this riot were in the part of the street between Mulberry street and Broadway, and yet both were | so engaged that they saw nothing of the disturb- ance until their attention was called to It. The stupid fellow from the Fifteenth allowed the bieeding men to pass him on their way to the station house without noticing them. Finally both got to tne door of the saloon, but a | more heipiess or imbeciie pair of officials | could with difficulty be found in the de- partment, They stood m front of the door meekly requesting the man who had | just failed to murder two men with a locust club | to please come out and be arrested. The club man did not respond to the invitation and the | policemen slunk sway. Notice was sent to the Inspector at the Central OMce that bis presence was required, but the officer on duty at that building replied that the Inspector had gone to bed and was not to be disturbed. A double murder then might be committed within shadow of the Police Headquarters. Stupid policemen were plundering in the midst of the trouble and yet the repose of the Inspector must not be tnter- lered with. It really does seem that for the sake of the reputation of the department the highest officials belonging to it ought not to think it too much trouble to attend a most disgraceful dis- turbance so close to the very fountain head of order. When Mr. Matsell first went into the Superintendent’s chair his first order was that he should be called at no matter what hour of the night jor anything seriously disturbing the public peace. Superintendent Walling would scarcely walt for a second hint in such a case, and yet the Inspector, who has the entire weight of the force on his shoulders every night, must be allowed to rest in peace while skulls are being broken.

The Filth Maryland regiment, which for eight days has given an unusual degree of animation and bustling activity to our seuside capital, has at length disappeared, and our only lions now on “the shore” are the President and Donald McKay and nis historical band of Wurm Spring Indians, ‘The Marylanders, however, did not Fold thetr tents, like the Arabs, And silently steal away ; but to the strains of martial music they took the cars, and leit their tents behind them. The wei- come rain o! yesterday had thoroughly saturated them, rendering them unfit for transportation; putin the bright suushine and strong vorthwest wind of this beautiiul day they are ready now for the baggage master. After the departure of the Marylanders the New Jersey Seventh was reviewed by the President in front of the Metropolitan Hotel, and then by Gov- ernor Parker at the Ocean Hotel, where, in re- sponse to a serenade {rom the baud, the Governor delivered one of those directly-to-the-point, ort- hang speeches which never fail to bring down the house. At half-pasv seven P, M. the regiment, by special train, leit us for Trenton, aud “so tade away all the glories of this world.” They tell a goou one of Governor Parker at the President’s review of the Seventh. The President, the Governor and @ numerous staff of sub-chieis in gold tace and epaulettes occupied a little summer arbor, where the band of the hotel plays in the afternoon; and San pressure of 80 ne many heavy weiguts flooring gave way and dropped the whole party two or three ieet. Instantly rallying from tis abrupt descent, Governor Parker ob- served—‘‘I hope, Mr. President, this 1s your plat- form that bas broken down, and not mine.” The President’s reply was not heard by the ‘“out- siders," but still hoiding on to the railing with both hands, alter his sudden let down, he was hardly in @ position for a guod shot at the Gov- ernor. The afternoon and the early evening were showery, Ocean avenue was an ocean of mud; but those Jersey soluiers, having mostly been through or in “the war,” appeared no more to be disturbed by the rain or the mud than General Grant himsel, who was punctually on band at the appointed time in a drenching shower. From those liberal ratns of yesterday the sky, the land and the sea look brighter and better to-day, A thousand excursionists from Lancaster, Pa., under the auspices of the Young Men’s Cnristian Association, are on the beach at the East Kad to- day.

Mr. James A.

The numberiess beads and hands that com spire to concentrate at one point all this muita. rious intelligence; the amount of vigilance and activity required to note the vast array of details; the incalculabie interest that centres about this wonderful record—ail impress the miod with pro- found surprise and admiration. * * Addi- tional instances of the lavish expenditures o/ Mr. Bennett are afforded by the act that the HERALD keeps afloat at great cost two splendid, swilt-sailing steam yachts, ior the express purpose of intercepting vessels coming in irom sea, and of securiug the latest news im advance of ali competition; while during the sum- mer season the journal has engaged a special San- day train at its own expense to carry the paper to Saratoga and Lake George and interveAking points. *« * * The world is familiar with the extraordi- the conviction that the South is unalterably de. voted to the great principles of government advo- cated by the democratic party, and that she is wedded to the behe: that liberty can be preserved only by the re-establishment of those principles as the permanent policy of the government, then shail 1 esteem myself as being unworthy of the higb compliment you pay me and utterly jailing to meet the obligations of the sacred trust com- mitted to me. It is possible that 1 may exaggerate the danger of breaking a precedent which the example of Washington has clothed with the Sanctity of law; but if a third term were proposed for a democratic President whom 1 regarded as pure a8 Cato and a8 sell-sacrificing as Doria, still | should feel that devotion to a democratic leader had betrayed us into a step which would tend to the final subversion of our democratic institutions. In conciusion, permit me to say, that with union aud discretion in our ranks—indeed, without some egregious blunder—we have the best grounds for the most sanguine hopes of success in the next presidential election. I am, my dear sir, very truly yours, J. B, GORDON, MEETING OF UNION LEAGUERS.
