STRONG RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THEIR REMOVAL FROM TEXAS TO FLORIDA—GENERAL SHERIDAN CABLS THEM A DEVOURING PEOPLE. Wasurxetoy, D. C., August 31, 1875, ‘The War Department has transmitted to the Indian ‘Bureau a letter from Cotonel Hatch, at Fort Texas, in re- lation to the Seminole negroes, former slaves of the Seminole Indians, He says there are about 500 men, ‘women and children of this race living in Texas and they idesire to be sent to a locality where they can earn their ‘own Iivmg. They ask for lands suitable for cultivation ‘apon some government reservation, and if the govern- ment cannot furnish them they beg to be sent to Florida, where, without owning lands, they can obtain them to work until means are created by their labor to enable them to purchase. Colonel Hatch says the land in Texas is not susceptible of irrigation, ts worthless for purposes of cultivation, and all good land is owned by capitalists or men of means, while there is much good dand In Florida still vacant, When they were trans- ferred with the Seminoles from Florida to the western territories their women and children were kidnapped and sold into slavery by Indians and bad white men, This forced them to flee into Mexico. They were in- duced to return by promises which were never fulfilled. ‘They are now living in great destitution, bordering upon #tarvation A few of them are employed by the gov- ernment as Indian scouts, which is their only means of support, He says they can easily be sent to Florida at ‘very small expense. If not, they will return to Mexico, go to the mountains below San Carlos, about 150 miles west of the Rio Grande, depredate on the ranches of Texas and furnish an asylum for deserters from this frontier. They are a distinct race from the Seminoles ‘and are like all negroes, except that they are accus- tomed to bearing arms, are brave and daring, and su- Perior to the Indians in fighting qualities. Colonel Hatch advises that they be sent on the score of econ- ‘omy; rations could be issued to them till they could ind means for their own living, and the old men say that the Florida fisheries would furnish them abundant food. General Ord recommends that they be sent. Lieutenant General Sheridan, in forwarding the letter, gays :—‘‘l have repeatedly reported to the Indian Bureau ‘the destitute condition of these Seminole de Indians, ; ‘but without eliciting any favorable reply from the In- ‘terior Department, and now forward this as a last hope ‘that this deserving people will receive some attention,” THE OWNERS OF THE BLACK HILLS, WEPORT THAT THB INDIANS ARR WILLING TO NEGOTIATE FOR THE CESSION OF THE HILLS.

NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS Ag TO THE RAILURE—MR. SHARON AND ANOTHER DI- BECTOR INTERVIEWED—‘‘MR. RALSTON USED THE FUNDS OF THE BANK TO HELP HIMSELF OUT OF 4 SCRAPE." ” San FRanctsoo, Cal., August 31, 1875. No new facts have been developed concerning the re- sumption of the Bank of California By some the statement is regarded as an electioneering job, though among business mon there seems to be considerable dis- position to believe it, and some of the more hopeful ex- press confidence that it will reopen in a few days. ‘The general impression, however, seems to be that if resumption takes place it will not be till after a few weeks, No intimation of the condition of the bank is given by the directors, and it is tmpossible at present to speculate with any assarance of correctness. RUMOR OF 4 PAILURE, A rumor has prevailed during the afternoon in the city, which may have gone East, that Burling Brothers, ‘one of the most prominent firms of stock brokers, have failed for $2,000,000, Inquiry fails to confirm the re- port It is true that the firm is affected to the amount of about $500,000 by the suspension of the Bank of California, but it ts believed they are able to stand it; and it 1s stated on good authority that Mr. Sharon will back them up if any aid is needed, OALIVORNIA STOCKS. As indicative of the feeting in stocks, private trans- actions have been made within the following figures :— Ophir, 40 a 43; Mexican, 16%; Crown Point, 24; Yel- low Jacket, 63; Belcher, 18 to 20; Consolidated Vir- ginia, 225, and California, 50, ‘THR OVER-ISSUB RUMOR. A report obtained circulation to-day that the Burling Brothers had hypothecated stock of the Bank of Califor- nia with the Savings and Loan Society, on Clay street, which proved to be an over-issue, but on inquiry the president of the savings bank says there is no truth in the report. THR MERCHANTS CONTINUE SOLID. A prominent Front street merchant, in an interview this afternoon, gave an encouraging account of affairs among the mercantile public. No failures have ac- curred among them, and none are anticipated. The brokers also speak hopefully of the condition and feel- ing; they are generally cheerful and confident. ‘THY SUSPENDED BANKS. There is nothing later from the National Gold Bank and Trust Company or the Merchants’ Exchange Bank. Both are engaged in gathering coin for a resumption of business. T0-DAY’S ELECTION. The election to-morrow begins to engross a large share of the public attention, which is heightened by contradictory reports believed to have political signifl- cance as to the condition of the Bank of California, and the prospects of its resumption, AN INTERVIEW WITH MR, SHARON. Mr. Sharon was interviewed last evening with regard to the statement credited to him that the Bank of California would resume business. He stated in reply to a direct question, “We are moving heaven and earth to reopen, It ia possible and not tmprobable that the bank will resume. There ts a reasonable proba- bility of 1%.’ In reply to @ question as to the rumors of an over-issue of stock, the substitution of worthless paper In envelopes which had contained col- laterals, and other fraudulent proceedings, he said, “I know nothing about It I have not been among the clerks or in the vaults.’” ‘ Mr. Bell, one of the directors, in reply to asimflar question last evening, said, “I know nothing of the kind.” ABSTRACTION OF ASSETS, In connection with recent rumors concerning the af- fairs of the Bank of California, respecting the over issue of stock, disappearance of securities and other fraudu- lent proceedings, this much is known positively, that from three to three and a half millions of the assets of the bank have been very recently abstracted without the knowledge of the directors. How this has been done is not known at present. The directors are still busy examining the stato of affairs, but it is not known when the report may be ready. WHAT ANOTHER DIRECTOR SAYS. A personal interview was held with one of the most prominent gentlemen of the Board of Directors, who says that an effort is being made to reorganize by form- -"” Counsel will be assigned them Ww-morrow, ing a guarantee fund to liquidate the affairs of the bank and afford means to resume business, and that the re- sponses of those approached are of an encouraging na- ture; but that nothing can yet be stated definitely, In answer to the question concerning the rumors of fraud- ulent mismanagement on the part of Ralston, the gen- tleman replied:—“All I can say about that is that Mr, Ralston appropriated the funds of the bank largely to his own use.” On being asked {if there appeared to be evidence of Intentional fraud on Ralston’s part he replied, “Mr, Ralston got into a scrape and used the funds of the bank to help himself out,” ESTIMATING THR ASSETS. It is impossible at presen} to give any statement worthy of credence as to the assets and liabilities of the Bank of California. The directors themselves do not ‘as yet know the actual condition of affairs, It is given out that the nominal assets are in the neighborhood of $18,000,000, with abilities of about $12,000,000, but from the best information at present obtainable it is believed that the reliable assets will not be sufficient to pay depositors over eighty cents on the dollar, the stock- holders losing everything. Much labor is yet required on the part of the directors to ascertain the character of the assets, VIVE MILLIONS OF CAPITAL ADDED, Mr. D. O, Mills, President of the Bank of California, has telegraphed the agents of the bank in New York that measures have been initiated for the immediate re- sumption of {ts business here, Without naming the day, it is understood that the bank doors will be opened early next week Mr. A. A. Cohen, ‘a wealthy capitalist here, andi who will in all likelihood be one of the directors under the reorganized manago- ment of the bank, informs your corraspondent that the new capital paid up will be $5,000,009, and that that amount will probably be taken by D, 0, Mills, Mr. Sha ron, Michael Reeso, J. R Keene, A. A Cohen and a few others. The first four named take $1,000,000. each, and there are quite a number of moneyed men ready to take up the rest. It is now very evident that tho directors of this bank acted precipitately in requiring the resigna- tion of Mr. Ralston, as the further they look into its affairs the more they are satisfied’ with the condition of the bank. Yesterday it was thought, and the feeling was ead and depressing, that tho Pacific coast would suffer severely from the panic, the failare of the bank andthe death of Mr. Ralston, for an indefinite period; but this evoning everybody feels full of hope and assurance that business embarrassments will be but brief, To-night the po- litical battle field te exceedingly quiet, It is the calm before'the storm. To-morrow San Francisco will bea seething caldron. THE CORONER'S INQUEST, The Coroner’s Inquest in the case of Ralston was resumed this evening The report of the phy- siclan who made the post-mortem examination stated that the deceased died of asphyxia The analysis of the stomach has not yet been completed, and will bo given to tho jury on Friday afternoon. ATTACHMENT OF BANK PROPERTY, ‘This afternoon an attachment was levied on the real estate of the Bank of California at the instance of Adolph Shirck, who claims to be a creditor tw the amount of $2,156, A NEWPORT CREDITOR. Newport, R. L, August $1, 1875. Asa T. Lawton, of this city, one of the stockholders of the Bank of California, which recently suspended, has $100,000 of the bank’s paper. He retired from active business about two years since and has resided here ever since, THE NATIONAL GOLD AND TRUST COMPANY, Wasmixotox, August 81, 1875, The Comptroller of the Currency has resumed his dowes Ho lacked the careworn expression which shaded bis face during the panic two years ago, He was glad to say the Baltimore banks were all sound, and hoped the same could be said of every national bank in the country, tional Gold Bank and Trust Company of San Francisco would be found solvent, and if the creditors and note holders did not avail themselves of the requirements of the law to force the bank into liquidation he would not interfere with their resuming business whenever they chose to open their doors. The law explicitly declares, he said, in what manner solvent or insolvent banka shall bé closed up. It was @ matter of recordin the bureau that a national bank, through the vote of the stockholders, resolved to go into voluntary liquida- tion, The doors were closed with thas intent and business ceased for several days, when the stock- holders reconsidered their action and resumed busi- ness, In this case, however, the proceedings were not legal, 8o there was no law to prevent the bank from continuing. Ifany national bank, therefore, chooses to risk 118 certificate of organization by suspending business when it is sotvenit ¢ has the right so to do, The only obstacle might come from the courts, but that, he thought, could not be lawfully interposed, THE FAILURE OF MOFFATT BROTH- ERS. Toronto, Ont., August 31, 1875. Ata meeting of the creditors of the Moffatt Brothers to-day the assets were stated to be $193,000, and the Liabilities $400,000. A proposition of forty cents on the dollar was accepted. A FAILURE IN TORONTO, Toronto, Ont., August, 31, 1875. Robert Griffith & Co. wholesale grocers, have made an assignment. FAILURES IN NOVA SCOTIA. Haurax, August 31, 1875. A large number of small traders throughout this Province have made assignments during the past week. FAILURES IN PATERSON. ‘The Washington Market Company, of Paterson, has been enjoined by the Chancellor of New Jersey from doing any further business. A receiver will be ap- pointed next Monday. ‘The liabilities are about $250,000. On Monday there is to be a meeting of the creditors before the Chancellor to agree upon a person to be ap- pointed as réceiver of the concern. The property of the company cost $225,000. The liabilities are divided as follows :—$190,000 of bonds, $73,000 of stock, $4,500 floating debt, $4,500 taxes; total, $272,000, There were three issues of mortgage bonds, which were sold as high as par on first mortgage down to fifty on the third mortgage. The income has been so small that tho interest on the first mortgage bonds has not been paid in a year, and the property has been struck off to the city 'in default of unpaid taxes for 1873. The trouble is that too muckt money was in- vested in the enterprise; the land was bought at fancy prices at a season of speculation, and a build- ing was erected at immense cost, so that it was imj i ble to get a fair return on the extravagant outlay. The: too, the stands were leased on conditions which the company could not fulfil, and the standholders, in many if not most cases, have not paid their rents since they occupied the building. Good judges do not think the land could be sold to-day for twenty-five per cent of what the company paid for it, It is expected that the property will be sold and bought in by the first or sec- ond mortgage bondholders, who will reorganize the com- pany on a capital of $100,000 to $150,000, Meantime the market building will be open as usual, ANOTHER FAILURE.

A BESPECTABLE CITIZEN TAKES A LONG RIDE ON HORSEBACK WHILE HE IS ASLEEP—HE RIDES TO THE HOUSE OF A RELATIVE—HE WAKES UP AND THINKS HE IS IN BED AT HIS OWN HOUSE. Great Beno, Pa., August 31, 1875. A remarkable case of somnambulism occurred in this vicinity one night last week, the results of which are also most extraordinary. The particulars, as learned here, are as follows Samuel Howe, a very respectable citizen of Locust Hill, about eight miles from here, has for some time been ina very feeble condition, suffering from dropst- cal affection. Ho ts sixty-seven years of age, and has been able to get about lately only with the aid of others, Early on Wednesday morning last his wife awoke, andy to her surprise and alarm, discovered that he was not in bed. His clothing lay where it had been placed the night before, and*Mrs. Howe was at once seized with the fear that her husband had dragged himsolf somewhere and killed himself to get rid of his sufferings. She searched the house without finding any trace of him, and then re- paired tothe barn, The barn door was wide open and a look inside revealed the fact that the horse was gone, Mrs. Howe now aroused Mr. Schouten, a neighbor. He came to her assistance, and examining the ground about the barn found horse tracks leading to the road and along the road in the direction of Harpersville. Schouten hitched up his team and, arousing another neighbor, Mr. Pinta, to accompany him, started to fol- low up the horse's tracks and see whether they were in any way connected with the disappearance of the old man. The horse was tracked to Harpersville, and from there to other villages, through all of which {t had passed without stopping It was easily followed, the tracks being fresh and undisturbed. The trail was kept as far as Colesville, Broome county, where it led toa house in the village and stopped, Schouten and Pintz made inquiries at this house and found that it was oecupied by a brother-in-law of Mir, res and that the old entleman was there abed He had ridden up to the jouse on horseback about six o'clock in the morning, bareheaded and with only his night clothing on En- tering, he had said to his brother-in-law :— s/ “fam very tired and want to-go to sleep.”” His relatives were greatly startled at his singular’ad:- vent among them, and at first thought he was. insana They soon discovered, however; that he warinia state of somnambulism, and at once uti Hiitm to bed. Schouten and Pintz arrived at the louse about eight o'clock, and the old gontloman was still asleep. The gravest fears were expressed as to the result of his ex. traordinary ride, his physical condition being so pre- carious. Mr. Howe ‘awoke soon after the ar- rival of the men searching for him. He was completely dumfounded when told where waa, He had no recollection of anything since retiring to bed the night before. Boyond a slight soreness and fatigue he complained of no bad effects of the ride, and, to the surprise of every ono, arose nimbly from bed and dressed himself in some clothes of his brother-in-law’ and walked about with an ease and activity he had not exhibited for many months. He required no aid to got in the wagon to return home, and was quite fresh upon reaching Locust Hill ‘ A singular fact connected with the case is that Mr, Howe never was known to got up in his sleep before. He had not beon a mile away from home in a long ume nor ridden on horseback for many years. He was still active and feeling exceedingly woll at last accounts, DAYLIGHT BURGLARS, Curcaco, Tl, August 31, 1875, This afternoon, at about four o'clock, four men drot ap to General Anson Stager’s residence. Two of thom, under the pretense of looking at the gasmeter, entered the house They then overpowered the servant and demanded the key of the closet containing the silverware They threatened to take her life if sho refused to deliver up the igi Upon being told that Mra Stager had key in her possesion, in the East, they broke in the doors of the closet and secured the silverware—the value of which is not now known—and left the premises. THE ILLINOIS KU KLUX. Civoinnati, Ohio, August 81, 1875, A despatch to the Enquirer states that Green M.

The CHARLEY ROSS. SECOND DAY OF THE TRIAL OF WESTERVELT— SLOW PROGRESS—MR. ROSS FINISHES HIS STORY—OTHER WITNESSES EXAMINED—LITTLE WALTER'S STORY—THE PROCEEDINGS IN FULL. Pumapsirma, August 81, 1875. At about ten o'clock this morning, the trial of West- ervelt was resumed in the Court of Quarter Sessions, before Judge Elcock. When the prisoner was placed in the dock he looked somewhat paler than yesterday, ‘and as he read the morning papers which an attendant brought him his hands trembled Promptly at his side was his wife, pleasant faced little woman, in faded black. Before she took her seat beside him, but outside the railings, she put her arm about his neck and kissed him, If she is guilty of complicity in the foul crime of which she is jointhy indicted with her husband her appearance indeed belies her, It was unnatural to think, a3 she sat and caresged ber own two little ones with a mother’s tenderness, that she could steal away another woman’s child. Mr, Ross sat on the other side of the enclosure with his boy Walter between his knees, while all were waiting for the proceedings to resume, and, with a thoughtful face, watched this mother and her children, Mr. Ross is a spare man of the middle height, with thin red hair, and @ thick beard of the same color encircling his face, but rather closely trimmed. He has a sharp, prominent nose, quick, nervous looking eyes, a decisive mouth, and if one were to characterize his expression and manner briefly he would be described as “wide awake.” There is an alertness, a quick roving of the eyes, as of one always on the watch. But, with it all, hts face has a careworn look, and there are premature lines on the forehead. WALTER, the little child who was kidnapped with Charley, and so fortunately returned, is@bout six years old, a year older than the lostone. His features greatly resemble Charley’s, but he has not his flaxen curls, He sat gazing at everything In child fashion, and looked as though he would have liked to get down and play with the little boy of the prisoner's, who was apparently about his own age. After a while the child tired of the dull proceedings and fell asleep on a gentleman’s lap while his father was testifying. The court room was well filled with spectators, al- though not unduly crowded, and, although the words of the actors were scarcely audible thirty feet away, the occupants of the distant visitors’ seats craned their necks and opened their mouths, and sat patiently throughout the day. Several persons from Bay Ridge were among the witnessed in attendance, among them young Van Brunt, who fired the shot that killed Doug- lass, the stableman who was with him, and the consta- ble of the village, ‘The proceedings were very slow and tiresome, The Court is behind the century. It has no stenographer, and after every few words the witness must stop and wait until they are slowly transcribed, ‘THE PROCEEDINGS. After the formal opening of court Mr. Ross, who had not concluded his testimony yesterday, was recalled. He took up the thread of his narrative at the return of Walter to his father by Mr. Peacock, the gentleman who found him. He described the first search through the suburbs and his visit to the Central police station, where he told the story to Captain Heins, who detailed Detec- tive Joyce to visit the place in the Kensington district where Walter was first found. He told how he and his nephew instituted a vigorous search fora day anda night, and how they then prepared the first advertise- mee sie appeared in the Ledger, Inquirer and Press of July On the 4th Mr. Ross went to Atlantic City and informed his wife of their loss for the first time. He testified that on the 6th he received an anonymous letter through the mail at his store. The letter was handed to him and identified, but not read. It is believed to be the tollowing. It was taken from a local box and post marked ‘Philadelphia: We have your child charley bruster Ross safe and well. Wo want $20,000, and we will return him to you. If yon are Alling to part with your money, wh. h beh ing to part is wnat aa ty. iy you can have your ot Alli ise. ben pot the oliowing in the peracnals ofthe Pwhe Lelgere On the morning of the 7th of July the personal dic- ied ee ero in the Putite Ledger as OWS im...

The rest of Mr. Ross’ testimony in the’ identification of letters handed to him the District Attorney and answers thereto from she ‘Personals’ of the Philadelphia ge mies ww York Heratp. This is a sample of the rest of his testimony :— Mr. Hagert—When did you rei ir. Hagert—When did you recetve this letter, the eighth?

The letters were none of them read, and were desig- nated by Assistant District Attorney Hagert only by their numbers, and this portion of the testimony therefore, not only uninstructive to the jury, but actually unintelligible. The letters were only offered to be {dentified ss having beon received. Tho District Attorney will, doubtless, offer to read them for the enlightenment of the jury further along. This point will be contested by the defence, very probably, who will insist upon Westervelt being connected with them. The most important point in tho trial will hinge upon the decision of this question when {t comes up. ‘These letters have all been published in the Henary from time to time. Their reproduction here would take up too much space. It Is probable that they will be read at some time during the trial. Mr. Ross concluded his testimony as follows, after hd the long and fruitless searches he has made for ‘is boy :— Mr. Hagert—How recently has that search been con- tinued t Mr. Ross—I returned yestorday from a trip to part of New York State, where { had been looling ara ceiee Mr. Hagert—Have ottiers continued the search "Mir.
