AN OPEN LETTER TO THE STATE COMMITTEE OF MASSACHUSETIS—HIS ADVICE TO THE REPUB- LICAN PARTY—GET RECRUITS AND PUT TRIED MEN TO THE FRONT. Boston, Mass., Sept. 11, 1875. The following letter from Vice President Wilson, ad- dressed toa member of the State Committee, will be published here to-day :— Natick, Mass., Sept. 10, 1875, Dear Str—I have received your invitation to attend a conference of leading Massachusetts republicans to consider their duties in the coming election. While it will not be in my power to be present, I cannot but express to you and all other republicans the solicitude I feel and have felt for many months in regard to the position and prospects of the republican party of this Common- wealth and of the whole country. ‘Surely the hour has come for all Massachusetts republicans to ‘forgive, for- | get and unite,’ and to place our Stato in the samme com, manding position she has hitherto occupied. That Massachusetts which stood in the days of trial so firmly and with such persistent steadiness in “support of the rights of man, the unity of the nation and the authority of the general gevornment does not now occupy the leading position she once held is painfully true, That the old Commonwealth, which at each of the last three Presidential elections gave to Lincoln and to Grant a majority of 75,000, has lost some of its former: prestige republicans are compelied, with unwonted humiliation, to confess, Your proposed meeting, 1 take it, is by a full and frank consultation and comparison of views, to aim to regain what has been lost, and to place Maska- chusetts once more in Its recognized position among re- publican States. Certainly this object ts worthy of tho thoughttul, considerate and unselfish attention of every republican Who would faithfully serve either his party or bis country. In these consultations and compari- sons it shonld ever be remembered that nothing will be guined by lowering the standard in regard to principles, measures or men, Human rights have ever been the watchword and inspiration, the guiding star and dom- inating idea of the republican party, It can with either honor or safety t no step Vackward. Mistakes have becn made in the State and in the. nation, Some men entrusted with official _ position | have proved themselves unworthy. Bat public attention has been aroused and directed to such mis- takes and misconduct, Republican presses and Con- ventions have spoken and are speaking loudly for re- form of abuses and for the removal of faithless and incompetent officials, Mistakes, too, have been cor- rected and are being corrected; unfaithful officials have be dismissed, and the public voice imperatively de- mands that all such shatl be. And there is increasing evidence that the party in whose ranks is found 80 much of the worth and character of the country looks with regret, as it was expressed by a British statesman, upon every hour that’ passes over recognized and unreformed abuses, Is there, then, or can there be suilicient reason why the republican party, containing the masses of Hoary lovin and patriotic men who fought the battles of the rebellion and piloted | the country through the stormy night of civil war, should be displaced in the commonwealth or pation, or voluntarily relinquish the helm of State to the demo- cratic party, with its past or present record ? In your consultations and comparison of views I trast qn will place little confidence in mere party discipline. n the present temper of the country it has lost: much of its potency. It has seemed to me, and now seems to me, that the way to strengthen the republican party in Massachusetts and in other States is to put it right on the living issues that divide thé country, with the prin- ciples and purposes so clearly expressed and honestly avowed that there need be neither misapprehension nor mistake, to open wide its doors and make the invitation and promised welcome full and free. Not only should new recruits be sought, but those who once belonged to its ranks and helped to swell its victories, and who for cause or without cause have left it, should’ be pressingly invited to return, Its tried and trained leaders should be brought to the front again and their wisdom sought for counsel and guidance in the efort to retrieve what has been lost and to restore to the party its former restige and power, Republicans should look peril in the face and meet the present emergencies with prudent, wise and healing counsels, They ould act, ‘too, in a spirit of — self-abnegation prepared to sacrifice for the cause all personal aspira- tions, Candidates for public stations, high or low, should see to it that their individual aims and ambi- tious and their personal rivalries should not be allowed to be a burden or hindrance to our now imperiled cause, and that, in the presence of the dan- gers that menace the party and the na- Uon, something of the spirit that prompted the self-denying ordinance of Cromweil’s time should animate them and secure a like self-sacrifice now. With this policy I ain still confident the republicans can re- gain their complete ascendancy in Massachusetts, re- cover lost States, continue to guide the counsels of the | nation and complete, without reactfon, their grand work of unity and liberty, reconstruction and recon- ciliation, Truly yours, H. WILSON, THE TAR-HEEL CONSTITUTION. ANOTHER SESSION OF THE CONVENTION TO RE- VISE THE INSTRUMENT—A BUDGET OF sUG- GESTIONS WHICH WERE NOT ACTED UPON— THE DEADLOCK STILL CONTINUES. Raneran, N. C., Sept, 11, 1875, The Convention met at ten o'clock A. M., President Ransom in the chair, After prayer by Delegate Has- sell, a hardshell Baptist clergyman, the Chairman asked the.Hon. Thomas J, Jarvis, democrat, to preside, he himselt retiring in consequence of severe illness. Tho galleries and lobbies are still thronged, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, Several delegates are absent, having “paired off.” Mr. Durham, democrat, proposed the election of a provisional President, to act in Mr. Ransom’s absence, Judge Tourgeo (rep.) objected. General Clingman, asked the withdrawal of the objection, Judge Tourgee declined, Mr. Jarvis took the chair. Yesterday's journal was read, and then it rained ordinances again, No less than fifty-seven additional propositions in the shape of bills or resolutions amendatory of the constl- tution being introduced, mainly from the conservative side, Of these, several were substantially identical, PROPOSED CHANGES. The main points covered Were logislative appoint- ment, instead of popular election of judicial olticers, distranchisement of persons convicted of. crime, payment of public taxes as prerequisite of suffrage, repairing and — building — highways by taxation, abolition of ofMces of Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General, abrogation of township system, rotation of judges in riding circuits, re-establishment of ancient Courts of Pleas aud Quarter Sessions, lmita- tion of legislative sessions and reduction of per diem, extension of time of residence for voters, prohibition of miscegenation, and the Lord kuows what besides. Hon, W. H. Wheeler (rep.), of Forsythe, offered an ordinance providing that no convention shall be called until the question shall have been submitted to the people and shall have received their sanction; also an ordinance making the homes r THE BIG TALK. A Preliminary Council at the Red Cloud Agency, Concessions to the Tender Feelings of Mr, Red Cloud, Man Afraid of His Horses, the Strikes for Stock. Younger, Rep C1oup AExoy, Neb. Via Fort Larauin, Wy. T., Sept. 11, 1875. A preliminary council was held at tho office of the agency toM@uy by the Commissioners, with elder and the younger Man Afraid of His Horses, Red Cloud, Yellow Hair, Two Strike, Blue Horses and Red Dog, in regard to the place for the holding of the grand talk, It was agreed that it should be near this agency, at the Crow Buttes, near the Spotted Tail road, Man Afraid of His Horses tho younger claimed from the Commissioners to-day the fulfilment of their promise to reward him with a gift of horses for going after the Northern Sioux and persuading them to join the coun- cil. Red Cloud supported Man Afraid of His Horses in his claim, and the Commissioners appeased them by pledging themselves to get for them from the government 100 horses, . Red Cloud and Man Afraid of His Horses said that they do not want any troops near the council lodge, but will protect the white men themselves. The large number of savages who will be gathered here will place in their hands the power of doing much mischief if evilly disposed. THE SIOUX RELEGATION. The bands of the Sioux to be represented are the Cut Heads, Uncapapas, Minneconjous, Blackfeet, No Bows, Yanktons, Brules and Ogallallas, Their princi- pal chiefs, beside Red Cloud and Spotted Tail, are Run- ning Antelope, Lone Horn, White Swan and Woonocta, Spotted Tail opposes the holding of the council so near this agency and will probably earnestly protest, He is actuated by petty jealousy. The other chiefs present at the council yesterday be- sides those I mentioned were Walk Under the Ground, Sword and Rock. The following are Red Cloud’s words regarding the safety of the Commissioners at the coming council :— RED CLOUD’S SPEECH. “My friends, wherever you hold the council I will place my young men there to guard yon, I do not want any soldiers to be near the council.” In deference to Red Cloud’s tenderness as to good faith, Major Vroom’s company, Third cavalry, which was to encamp at the agency will probably remain at the post. Senator Allison made the following assurance to the ‘Indians:—‘We want you to know the Great Father means the utmost good faith toward you Indians,’’ THE INDIAN FRAUDS. EXAMINATION OF SAMUEL WALKER REGARDING THE MANNER IN WHICH INDIAN ACCOUNTS ARE SETTLED. Wasntxaron, D. C., Sept. 11, 1875. The Red Cloud Commission this morning commenced the examination of Samuel Walker relative to various matters in connection with the settlement of Indian accounts, &c, Professor Marsh and Indian Commissioner Smith were present, MR, WALKER ON THE STAND, Mr. Walker was examined. The first part of his tes- timony was in relation to frauds in connection with the ioe of the Red Cloud Agency, the over issue of rations and the purchase of corn at that agency. He was asked if he could give the names of any parties who could furnish information of frauds, and named Mr. Steele, delegate in Congress from Wyoming, who told him that he knew threo or four reliable persons who would swear to the gale of Indian supplies at Cheyenne; among these supplies were coilee, sugar and oats, He was asked if he knew anything relative to the charges of Professor Marsh, and replied in the affirmative. The overissue of cattle at the Red Clond agency had been brought to the attention of the Interior Depart- ment by the Board of Indian Commissioners, Inferior flour of a lower grade than that called for by the con- tract was furnished—tlour unfit for use. Here Mr. Walker sabmitted a sample, which was examined by the members of the Commission, The speciinen submitted was yellowish in color, very heavy and coarse, resembling Indian meal ground fine; the Board of Indian Commissioners recommended that no further payments be made to the flour contractor until a full investigation was made; an inspector was sent out, but his report was vague and indetinite. Mr. Walker was asked if he knew any other instance of fraud, and referred toa depredation claim of G. M. Dodge, amounting to between $5,000 and $6,000, which was approved by the Commissiouer of Indian Affairs, when it could not legally be paid except by order of Congress, Mr, Dodge claimed that some of his cattle had been stolen by Indians, but submitted no proof. The Board of Indian Commissioners returned the claim to. the In- terior Department disapproved. It was sent back by General Cowen, The Board again returned the claim, specifying a law of Congress which prohibited the pay: ment of similar claims. The claim was subsequently presented to Congress, but was finally withdrawn. It was never paid, although it was approved by the 4caunm.ssisoner of Indian Affairs. ‘Commissioner Smith here asked Mr. Walker if he did not know that in sending this claim to Congress the Secretary of the Interior recommended it not to be paid, and Mr, Walker replied that he did not, but he did Know that it was approved by the Indian Oiltce, ‘THE MISSISSIPPI TROUBLE, THE LAMB AND THE LION LIE DOWN TOGETHER, Epwanps, Sept. 11, 1875 A very largo democratic, conservative meeting of the people of Hinds county was held here to-day, in which nogroes participated freely. They rode in procession simple vested in the owner, The latter was objected to by democrats, as being of a legislative character, Considerable debate ensued. Somebody introduced a wildcat proposition requiring the State Treasurer to de- posit public funds in certain banks, so as to get divi- dends and interest. Mr. Wheeler offered a resolution for a general overhauling of credentials of delegates by the Committee of Privileges and Elections, THE CALENDAR TAKEN UP, At twenty-seven n@nutes past eleven A. M. the calen- dar was taken up. The Surry county contested election case was debated by Messrs, ‘Tourgee, Clingman, Man- ning, Badger, Turner, Durham, Chamberlain and others, In the progress of the discussion, which was ry lengthy, the thing got badly mixed "but resulted in an instruction to the Cominittee of Elections to hear and report upon the matter as soon as practicable, Judge Ralph P. Buxton, republican, presented a resolu- tion directing the Election Committee to report upon the contested seats of Robeson county delegates, which was adopted after some talk. At twenty-three minutes past twelve, yesterday's resolution to adjourn sine die was taken from the calendar, and a motion to lay it on the table was carried by 57 to 55, A similar resolution was at once iutroduced, which goes upon the calendar and comes up on Monday, Hon. Oliver H, Dockery asked to be excused from the chairmanship of a coin mittee, and said, “All of us are outof place. We are sitting here in deflance of a clear majority of 12,000 against the Convention.” (Applause.) The Convention adjourned at fourteen minutes to one, DELEGATE: "TO HE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION, Fivsuxa, L. 1, Sept. 1, 1875. Hon. James B. Pearsoll, Hon.

THE TRIAL—MRS, WESTERVELT SEVERELY CROSS- EXAMINED BY THE DISTRICT ATLORNEY—CLAIM- ING AN ALIBI ON THE 6TH OF JULY—ANOTHER LETTER, PUuILapEnPana, Sept. 11, 1875. Mrs, Westervelt, the wife of the prisonor, wason the witness stand during the entire session of the Court to- day to answer the questions of Assistant District Attorney Hagert in cross-examination, THE OTH OF JULY. The questions regarding the 6th of July, the day when Mrs. Peers testified to having seen Westervelt in a street car, with a little boy answering the description of Charley Ross, wero very minute and close. On that morning witness arose about seven o'clock, leaving her husband in bed; she did not see him again until nearly noon, and she had every reason to believe that that he remained in bed all that time, although she did not see him after she left him there, At about noon he came, dressed, out of the bedroom into the room where the wife did the cooking and asked for his coffee; there was a door from the bedroom into the cooking room and one from the cooking room into the hall; the bedroom was a dark room, lighted only by a hall window, above reach; the door between the two rooms was kept open all the time for the sake of ventilating the room; witness explained that when she said she did not see her husband between seven o'clock and nekfly noon she meant that she did not see him up; she passed the bedroom door several times in the m- terval and saw him lying in bed; this she was positive of; he did not go out at all in the afternoon, but took a pillow and blanket and lay down fn the hall; in the evening he went out, MOSHER’S VISITS, The visits of Mosher to the Westervelt house were closely inquired about; dirs, Westervelt, judging from her manner of speaking of Mosher, did’ not regard him cordially, and said she had no idea why he came to their | house, as he was never invited there to her knowledge; she herself mailed a letter that her husband brought from Philadelphia, but she could not remember that he told her whose letler it was, why he brought it to New York to be mailed, or what was the address on the en- velope, although she thought it probable that she read it, certainly having curiosity*enough for that; the con- tents of the letter she was entirely ignorant of, At this time the composure of the witness gave way, and for a time she wept violently, shaking with sobs so that she could not answer any questions. INTERESTING QUESTIONS, Toward the close of Mrs. Westervelt’s cross-examin- ation Mr, Hagert asked her a few startling questions, He first asked her—she haying stated that she knew Mrs. Manning—if she did not say to Mrs. Manning, after the Bay Ridge affair, “that Mosher had stolen the child to get money to build a floating palace, and that if Mosher lived until December 14, 1874, Charley Ross would have been given up, us the papers had been drawn up ata hotel in New York.’ Witness responded, “No, sir, I did not; I didn’t say anything like it, for I never heard it.”” id you tell her at that interview that Mosher break- fasted with you and your husband the first Sunday morning after you moved into the Henry street house? was the next question. Witness said she remembered saying something like that, but she did not remember that she specitied the first Sunday morning that they lived there, Witness was then asked if anything was said during the conversation about the stealing of the child, Mr. Ford objected to this as improper cross-ex- amination, but the obje¢tion was overruled, and witness replied that she didn’t know hart At about the abduc- tion to say, and never said anything to any one about the stealing of the child. Witness was then asked if Mrs. Manning did not ask her, “Why Mosher, if he was so smart as represented, should steal the child?’’ The reply was in the nega- tive, ss ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS LETTER. Mr. Ross has received another letter in relation to Charley Ross. He was in and out ot the court room all day, as though something important was on hand. Of course he declined to give any information as to the purport of this last letter, but an official who saw it intimated that it announced that the child was still valive and would be returned.

Sr. Lovrs, Sept. 11, 1875, Mr. Jefferson Davis spoke at Callaway County Fain, held at Fulton to-day to @ very large audience fathered from all sections of that part of the tate, He was introduced by Governor Hardin and made nearly the same speech he delivered at De Soto.

By it twenty-six persons were drowned, The Equinox left Saginaw for Chicago on Sunday !ast laden with salt, and was near Point Au Gable, about 180 miles from Chicago, when she went down, THE STORY OF TI DISASTER is told by Captain Lusk, of the schooner Emma A. Mayes, which hus just arrived here. His schooner was being towed by the lost propeller up to within a few minutes before she went down. The storm was the most severe that has prevailed for years and struck vessels with great fury, No signs were shown by the Equinox that there was any danger anticipated, but about two o'clock on Friday morning Captain Lusk heard an order from the propeller to cast off lines, which was immediately followed by the shricks of women. For # few seconds all was still, CRIES YOR HELP, The crew of the Mayes meanwhile loosened the lines and the voices of women from the propeller were again heard crying for help, | Captain Lusk was peering through darkness at the receding propeller. It appeared to tip, and alinost- before he sould: makes “motion the immense craft went down, @ ssing and bubbling of the water only tellii wi She had been, ih m aalesitieiys It was so quick that no one on board the schooner seemed to have an idea of the true state of facts. For a moment it seemed as though it might be that the propeller bad steamed away and was lost to sight in storm. But that the spectacle of the sinking steamer was too plainly impressed on bis mind there could be no mistake, The steamer had been swallowed up, and there had been no warning, no sign, that anything was wrong until the order came to cut loose, and from that instant all seemed to have been lost. Captain Lusk weathered the remainder of the night as best he could and arrived in harbor considerably worse for wear, THK EQUINOX was built in Cleveland fifteen years ago and rebuilt a year ago, She was of 870 tons burden, and was valued at $25,000, The cargo, which was insured for about half its value, was worth about $6,250. The in- surance on the boat is unknown. Twenty-six persons were on board, not one of whom is known to have escaped. There were two passengers on board, the other twenty-four being captain and crew, CAPTAIN DWIGHT SCOTT. The drowned captain was Dwight Scott, of Cleveland, formerly owner of the Ironsides, the 8. D, Caldwell and the Governor Cushman, the las named having beon blown up at Batfalo three years ago, THB LOST PASSENGERS, ‘The two passengers were Miss Minnie Scott, daughter of the captain, aged nineteen years She was on a va- cation from a convent, where she was being educated, The other passenger was Miss Hattie Scott, aged seven- teen, a granddaughter of the captain, who lived in Cley land and was travelling for pleasure. Captain Scott was about sixty years of age and has a son in business at Cleveland. Captain Bain, of the schooner Onondaga, was lost during the gale, That vessel, at a late hour last night, was in a critical condition, and, it was feared, would go to pi Her captain was swept from the deck by a wave and could not be recovered. The vesset is worth $25,000 to $30,000 and has on board a large cargo of coal from Builulo, consigned to this city by Ler owner, A. © Taylor. SCHOONERS ASHORE AT MANITOUS, Curcaco, Sept, 11, 1875.

Kuartoum, Jaly 27, 1875, A few months ago the news reached here from the White River that the Kenusian ivory dealer, Mohammed. Abd-es-Samat, who, for his unselfish services to Dr, Schweinfurth in Niam-Niam and Monbutto, had been decorated with the Order of the Crown, bad been. MURDERED BY NEGROKS. As Mohammed Abd-es-Samat has been made a rather prominent personage by the mention mado of him in Dr. Schweinfurth’s work, his death has evoked interest among a very wide circle, I therefore give you the DETAILS OF THIS TRAGIC OCCURRENCE as I have them from an eye-witness of the facts. When Gordon Pacha issued, last year, the memorablo order, in virtue of which the ivory trade became a gov- ernment monopoly, and the business men of the place were ordered, under penalties derived from the miti, tury code, to give up the establishments which have for years existed in the negro country, Abd-os-Samat was informed by his relatives of this chango, in order that he might give up his business and come home. Mohammed received this terrible news in Nganje. He immediately made his arrangements and got his stock of ivory, about a hundred weight, carried north to Sabi, ‘A second ivory party, several days’ distant from Niam- Niam was to be hurried forward, in order to pass together through the district of ‘THE HOSTILE SCHEIK INGLELI, who attacks all passing caravans. Mohammed wanted to make the road safe, and he succeeded in getting the Scheik Ingleli imprisoned in Nganje. But the savages wanted to free their leader, Under Mahbub, Ingleli’s brother, they SURROUNDED MONAMMRD'S SERIBA at two o’clock in the morning (November 13, 1874), and seized the powder magazine, disarming and cutting down the guards. Untortunately, the garrison had no munitions, Mohammed, seeing the uselessness of resistance, shouted to his people to save themselves by few of his faithful ones, who had guns and cartridges gave fire, and continned it until after midday, From eighty to ninety negroes bit the dust. His ammunition being exhausted MOHAMMED SURRENDERED, ‘The negroes wanted to parade him as a trophy, asked them to make short work of it, Th hands and feet, ut ho ey ted his CUT OF HI8 HEAD, and carried it in triumph through the district, OBITUARY, HENRY T. BLOW, Honry T. Blow, of St. Louis, dicd suddenly of cont gestion at the United States Hotel, Saratoga, yester day afternoon, Ho was born in Southampton county, Virginia, July 15, 1817, removed to Missouri in 1830 and graduated at the St, Louis University; devoted himself to the drag and lead business; served four years in the State Senate.

RUM AND JEALOUSY. A German named Frederick Judd came to his home at No, 330 West Thirty-ninth street, about twelve o'clock last night, and commenced to upbraid his wife for some imaginary wrong.
