The talk with the President to-morrow will be mainly to explain to the noble red men that it 1s understood a por- | tion of their reservation abounds in valuable mineral resources, which the pale faces are anxious to possess; that the Great Father will promise them protection in all their rights if they are — willing to yield that portion of the reservation set | apart for them by treaty, subject to Congressional | action hereaiter. | The Indian Bureau does not object to a pro- | longed stay of the chiefs in Washington, for by the | time Young-Man-Airaid-ol-His-Horses, the heredi- tary Sioux chiel, Is ready to listen to the Great | Father, the commander of the Black Hills expedi- | tion will be nearly ready to retrace his steps and | forward to Washington | AN OUTLINE OF THE RESULTS | of the geological examination of the coveted ter- | ritory. As to the quarters assigned the Indians while in | Wasnington, nothing has been done to restrict — their liberty, and that fact will be made platn to them to-morrow, But they will be told that the same Great Father, who has other children than the poor Indian, 1s obliged to cousider how far the | liberty of the pale face may require his attention | in disputing the territory of the red brethren.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION TO-DAT— ASSEMBLING OF THE DELEGATES—THE FROB- ABLE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES—BESOLUTIONS DENOUNCING THE THIRD TERM TO BE PASSED. LANCASTER, May 25, 1875. All the delegates to the Republican State Con- vention, which assembles here to-morrow morn- ing, have now arrived, with very few exceptions. This normally quiet town is overrun by a regiment of thirsty politi- clans, sampling the famed Lancaster lager and discussing the momentous issues to be decided on the morrow, so fraught with impor- tance as to the fate of the party in the fall election and to @ numerous army of office-holders, The men who have so long held the State under con- trol by means of a system of “rings”—rings with which New+ Yorkers have good reason to be Jamiliar, Will not resign their power now; and every indication shows they will control tuts Con- vention, a8 they have those in the past, in every particular save one. There are two questions of importance to be decided by this Con- vention, over which there will be 6 hard struggle. One 1s of interest in Pennsylvania only, but the other has a Paramount importance in tne nation itself, for, While the first issue is whether or not a ‘ring’? man shail be State Treasurer, the other question | is whether the republican party in thin great State ehall not place itself squarely on record before the country as opposed to Cmsarism and the third term. It 18 too soon to predict positively what the re- sult will be. Alter the caucuses have been held to-night g better knowledge can be had. One thing is beyond all question, however, namely— that if this question is once raised, if a resolution denouncing the third term is once introduced and | allowed to come before the Convention and not stifled iu committee, if the Conven- tion is not hampered in voting upon tt, a Majority wili be iound who are ready to record to the re-election of any President, no matter how acceptable, tor more than two terms. At last year’s Convention the sentiment of the party was deilcately but significantly expressed by the nom- ination of Hartranit for President in 1876. Tos Was a plain condemnation of the third term idea in the Presidency, bat a still more emphatic one is deemed expedient by many repubucans, 1tis Staied thai a resolution, reading im substance as follows, will be offered by a Untted States officer:— | Kesolved, That it is contrary to the traditions and pre- ectients of {is country thatany President of the United tates stiall be elected as Chiet Magistrate of the nation for more than two terms. ‘The lunguage of this resolution 1s explicit and emphatic, but strong as it is it will be adopted uuless some other sunilar one is offered, The mass of the independent republicans are much in faver of this disavowal of the third term principle as & matter of policy. ‘Lhe other question upon which there will be a fight will be as to the State Trcasurership. ‘Lhe prominent candidates are Henry Rawie, of ‘rie, and Senator Buller A. Strang, of ‘Toga county. As to mr. Rawle and Mr. Sirang there 13 wide difference. Mr. Rawle bas mever held an ofice higher than that of Mayor of Erie, which position he now fills, He is @ very rich man, and is not pposea to desire the lucrative office of Sreasurer lor money's sake so much as a gratification to his am- bition, He is vigorously backed and supported by whose will has been a law unto he were elected be would be Cameron's man tn ‘rois Would make very little change In Pennsylvania afairs, with Hart- ranft re-elected to the Governorsuip and the same mau practically runuing the Treasurersnip.

At least seven of the Philadel- pbia delegation have committed themselves in lavor of Senator Strang. Mr. Strang 1s oppesed to the third term and Cwsarism, but Do issue as | been made on that pomt, as ‘iar as the State ‘Lreasurersap 18 concerned, some O1 the backers of both candidates bemg Of one mind on that question.

Boston, May 25, 1875. There appears to be no abatement in the pubite excitemeat over the murder of littie Mabel Young Jnone of the south end churches last Sunday. Little else 1s talked of,and the pupers are filled ‘with theories as to the motive of the crucl fiend, Concerning the guilt of Thomas Piper, the sexton, there seems to be scarcely @ shadow of a doubt. sesides his own strange and excited conduct since he was taken into custody there are circum- stances constantly developing which indi- cate him the murderer. A reliable man called upon the Cuief of Police to-aay, and stated that be was passing down Warren avenue on Sunday afternoon, about three o'clock that he saw several persons standing in | the vestibule of the church, and that as he was Walking along on the opposite side of the avenue he saw & man emerge from a window on the avenue side of thechurch, ana let himself down to the sidewalk, a distance of about ten feet. TRE MISSING LINK. The man then immediately entered the church by the sexton’s door; the young man haa seen the Person on the street several times, but ald | not know that he was the sexton of the church, He was conironted with Piper, and July idenvifed him as the man he saw jump out of the window. Tne window in quaes- tion fs in the staircase, leading from the vesttbule to the gallery of the church, and the supposition is that Piper, after committing the horrible deed, came down from the beliry, locked ths door, and, instead of descending into the Vestibule, where ne would have met the persons who were there engaged In conversation, leaped from the window and entered the church unseen by ali save the young man who now comes for- ward aud supplies (his lmportantlink of evidence, PIPER'S PREVIOUS PRACTICES. It has been discovered that during the past three or lour months Piper nas enticed and al- lowed alarge number of jittle giris residing in the neighburnood to play what is called ‘Tag’ in the church. Some of the little children say that he was im the habit of caressing and kissing them: but it is also hinted that his actions im some instances were not im accordance with morally und virtue, A few weeks ago a little girl named Fiorence Leland, Gaugater ui a bignly | Tespectabie jamily living near tue church, told her parents that Piper asked her to go into the beliry with nim and see the pigeons, Last fall @ Aaughter of the Kev. William B. Wright told her mother that trom Piper’s Leiavior in her presence she thought him to be a bad man and was atraid of him. Girls at various times told their parents the same thing, and since the arrest of tne sexiou jor the murder mavy other children have told tuings showmg evil in the fellow. Since a witness has been found | Who identifies Piper as the man he saw jump out as above described, Piper bas been made a quainted with the fact o1 nis identiiication. He denied that be got out of any window there that day. Woen tuid who saw bim seep, out he re- pied, “Well, 1 guess that’s the fellow I kave seen several times joating about the churca morning.” “Did he ever take little girls up into the cuureh tower?” inquired the officer. “On, no,” said Piper, ‘Well, you have,’ responded the oMicer, ‘and you have irequentiy chased little girls around tue vesury, Witu tae doors locked, | and kissed them,"’ LICENTIOUS LITERATURE, To this Piper turned away aud answered not a word. It 1s reported that he bas been giver to reading obscene literature.
