Althotigh Mr. Disraeli is to be elevated to the pecrage ‘ve will remain I’rime Minister. | Sir Stafford Northcote will become the leader of tho fiouse of Commons. It ‘s the general impression that the conservatives are weakened by the change, but Mr. Disraelli is physt- tally uvable to sustain the labor of the leadership of the House, It is rumored that other Cabinct changes will be made after the prorogation—namely, Right Hon. sir Charles B.

THK PRESS OX THE CHANGE. The Daily News to-day says:—“For more than one Session it has been manifest that leading the House of Commons was growing too burdensome a task for the Prime Minister, who never spared himself when pablie inty demanded bis time and energies, His accession to the peerage 1s not so much a promotion as » devclop- mént or rather tho crown of a careor.

St. Lovis, August 12, 1876, Chief of Police Mcvonough at a late bour to-night gave out the confession of Hobbs Kerry, the Otterville train robber, to be published to-morrow, The oreontial points of the confession are that Kerry, Frank and Jesse James Cole, Bud Younger, Clil Miller, Charles Pitts and William Chadwell constituted the gang that robbed the train, and that Kerry got $1,200 of the “swag.” It appears that the train was not robbed tn accord- ance with a previously concerted plan, but the party had been riding over a large extent of country without finding anything particular to do, and finaliy con- ciuded to attack this. train, ‘acting apparently more from impulse than from anything elec, Kerry was not a reguiar member of the gang, but had been with them during their raid through the country and was present at the robing of the train and shared in the spoils, It also appears that the police authorities here had information early in Juno last that the Youngers, James and other members of the band, con- templated robbing the bank oat Granby, in Southern Missouri, and officers were sent there from here. This project was abandoned, however, and the officers returned. As soon as the robbing of the tran occurred Chief MeDonough felt certain that it was done by this gang, and immediately sent officers to Granby and other places, and the arrest ot Kerry | and Bruce Younger-was the resi McDonough had ine tercepted a letter written by Kerry to one of the band, and it was throuch this letter that he oxtracted the confession from him, which gives a description of the robbery of the train, being essentially the same as heretofore published. and also the move- ments of the robbers for some time p@viously and their sonrse to the point where the booty was divided. The confessor makes quite a circumstantial account of all the robbers’ proceedings. A DUEL IN VERMONT.

Some surprise has veen expressed by officers of this command that no orders have been issued thanking the men, like Porter, Wier, Hare ana the soldier Madden, for their distinguist gallantry in the ficid. Those who saw these men in action say they fairly won tho commendations of their General, and that they ought not only to bo mentioned in the papers, but even to re- ceive brevet rank as marks of appreciation and as an encouragement to others. i : In the case of the three soldiers of the Seventeenth infantry, who accomplished the perilous feat of com- municating with General Crook after the professional scouts had been foiled, General Terry bas issued a general order heartily thanking them for their gal- Jantry and asking the attention of the government to and Congress to bestow the reward these men havo 80 richly merited, If Congress would pass a law appoint- morale of the soldiers, who have hitherto had no in- ducements to voluntarily undertake a dangerous ven- In tam Fisiy, Came at Mourn oF Bic Horn River, July 26, 1876, occasion to communicate from the cathp with Brigadior General Crook, commanding a force encamped on the cup.ed by alarge force of hostile Sigux, was of the most arduous and perilous nature as a scout, inspired resort a call was made on the troops of this command for volunteers, in response to which not less than se soldiors were selected :—Privates William Kvans, Ben- jamin F, Stewart and Joseph Bell, of company E, the 12th inst, delivered their despatches and returned arriving in camp on the 25th.

SMITH, Captain, Eighteonth infantry, ‘THE COMMAND NOT TO BE DIVIDED. Tho continued presence of Indians at Powder River has induced Colonel Reno and General Miles to request permission to go down with their commands to seo what force of Indions may be thereabout, and ondeavor to inflict some punishment on them. The detachment would then cross over bythe oldtrail from Powder River to the Rosebud to rejoim the main command. General Terry, however, bas had enough of this kind of experiment, and refused to divide up his command. SLOW MOVEMENT A NECESSITY. Our movements will probably be very slow, but this is the fault of tho administration, not of the com- manding geveral. i NO PROVISION FOR WOUNDED mE, It will scarcely be believed that in this whole opm- mand there is not a male litter to carry the wounded, altnough the naturo of the country where there is most probability of finding the Indians absolutely re. quires some other method of conveying wounded m than by wheel ambulances. When I toll you that Ci ter’s force went into battle without a single ambu- lance to convey the wounded, some idea may be formed of the horrors of an Indian campaiga ander a military administration, The wounded of Custer's fight were conveyed in litters improvised by Licuten- ant Doane, of the Second cavairy, for which he de. serves all praiso. It is horrifying to learn that our troops are in the habit of abandoning their wounded when hard pressed, because the government of this great Republic, with its military President, dées not know enough pr care enough to supply troops on a campaigo with mulo ambalances, which could keep up with the oolamns and travel over any ground which cavalry could paas, “What becomes of your wounded if you have no ambulances ?’’ I asked of sevoral cavalry officers. Tho reply in each case was almost identical. “They are out of luck to have not been killed. Am I to sacri- fice baif a dozen men to save one of my men who is wounded? Ho ts out of luck, that isail.* The coun” try is bofind to supply the army with ambulances, and although the government at Washington have plenty of them it neglects to send them where they may save the lives of our brave soldiers, Hore, then, ix an item for the humanitarian. The poor soldier, abandoned to the merciless fary of the savage Indians or the not less terrible fate of death in tho desert, with no one near to offer to his parched lips a drop of water! no use of fino writing in acase like this. Let the coun- try know that here is an army without a single amnbu- There is | lance; yet tne mule ambalance ia the only one in Indien | fighting which ean possibly be of any use. Ambo- lances we have; but the probability js they will have to bo left bebind if wo are to overtake Indians. The scouting columns, which run the most danger of coming in contact with the enemy, will have to march without any ambulances and depend on throw. | ing a wounded man over a pack mule and carrying bim as if he were a sack of senseless matter, or to abandon him to his fate as one OUT OF LUCK. Here is a subject for the poet and painter, The wounded soldier lying im the sago brash with his com- rades disappearing in the distance and the shadows of the savage Indian foo coming fast ito the foreground. Let the hamamtarians who howl ovor the sorrows of a stricken mule do something for the poor fellows who are daily risking their lives that their fellow citizens may dwell in peace and security. mulo ambulances and orders never to abandon wounded cornrade. It is to General Terry's credit that consideration for the wounded was one of the canses that induced him to change his base of operations to the Rorebad. It was impossible te use the wheel seif justified in engaging in operations in a country. whore no aid could be given to the wounded men, Ile bas not yet learned to practise that savage stoiciam which merely looks on a disabled comrade asa person out of tuck, PRODAMILITIES OF THE CAMPAIGR, There ig some probability that the Indians may elude us and cross the Yellowstone, as the facilities for tora- ing are very great just now, bat in that case wo will double back after them. Our force is provisioned for eighty days, and as there is no possibility of getting a new supply the campaign must come to an end at tho expiration of that time, Besides, a winter campaign in this region would probably be ended with frightfal loss of life. Ifthe government will only take steps to dis- arm and dismount all Indians presenting themsetves at agencies the Sioux problem would be rendered easy of settlement, We have rumors in camp that Indians, armed with the gans of the Seventh cavalry, have visited one of the agencies and have been allowed to depart unmolested, The country surely will not permit this to continuo, ‘ GUARDING THR sUPPLine.

Driggs, who 1s acting as nurse, Tho assertion of the dying woman is corroborated by many suspicious circumstances, Mrs. Larn left Buffalo tour weeks ago to come to New York for the purpose of prosecuting a divorce suit now ponding ngainst her husband. On tho train she became acquainted with Mra, Driggs, a woman about forty years of age, who soon ingratiated herself into her confidence. On arriving in town Mrs, Lara invited her travelling companion to visit her boarding honse at the above number, which invitation was accepted. A few days afterward Mra Laru beeame sick with dysentery, and Mrs. Driggs volunteered to norse her, Her condition not improving, Dr. Joseph W. Richards, who lives in the house, was calied in, and by his advice Dr. FE. M. Deer, of Thirty first street and Sixth avenue, was also engaged. Three days afterward her condition became suddenly —_alarmipg, and she determined to telegraph = to Buffalo for her brother, @. F. Walkerman.

WASHI Commissioner Smith's Explanation of the Sale | of Arms to the Sioux Indians, TAR INDIAN SCOUT BILL SIGNED. Why Mr. Scott Lord Moved His Southern Outrage Resolutions. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasminxcrox, August 12, 1876. COMMISSIONER SMITH'S KXPLANATION AS TO HIS ALLOWING THE INDIANS TO JIAVE ARMS— THE ARMS SUPPIIED FROM THE BRITISH POSSESSIONS AND MEXICANS—lOW THE 1ND- IANS SHOULD BE GOVERNED AFTER SITTING BULL 18 WHIPPED—BISHOP WHIPPLE’S POLICY COMMENDED. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs says tnat he feels an unintentional misrepresentation has been made of | the action taken by him in the matier of allowing the | Indians to have arms and ammunition trom the trad- | ing stores, He desires to have it stated that as long | ago as Jannary 18 he issued an order that no arms or ammunition shouid be sold anywhero tn Indian Ter- | ritory. The only way he can account for the manner in which tho Irdians obtained any supplies of them would be throngh p2rsons from the British Posses- sions, or Mexicans who cross the plains and trade with the Indians for skins and furs, Such has been the custom for a long time; but under the law just pasred preventing the introduction of fixed ammunition among the Indians, which tho President 48 authorizod to execute according to his discretion, he thinks a speedy stop will be put to any further traffic of the kind with them by the confiscation of the | traders’ stocks and along imprisonment or other pun- ishment after trial by court martial or civil proceed- ings. With a viow to favoring the Iatter, ho is in favor of having a law passod extending the jurisdiction of tho United States over all Indian reservations. He wants the strong right arm of ‘the government re- spected os much among Indians in their camps as it is with white and other citizens all over the United States, If an Indian docs anything wrong ho wants him punishod us wellas any other transgressor, The evil he thinks whick bas most impaired the success of managing tho | Indians heretofore 1s a want of concentration of au- thority, Tho Inaian must be tirmly and justly dealt with, Commissioner Smith has ascertained through agents of tho department that, as Red Cloud com- plained, there is no one source of authority to which the Midian can look with confidence to have anything done, This Sioux chief complained that when he was here he was sent from one to another when he desired to transact any business, Ho was sent from the President to the Secretary of the Interior, and then to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and when he got round he was confused and had accom- plished nothing. Commissioner Smith saya that the question of manag-- ing the Indians successfully after Sitting Bull 1s whipped is ono of statesmanship and wilitake a year a least, He ts generally in favor of the views of Bishop Whipp'e in his letter to the Prosident as to the consolidation of the Indian tribes at Whito Earth Reservation, in Min- nesota, and all tho Indians in Washington and Oregon Territories in ono or two reservations, — Genoral Howard says they ought to go on the Yakima reserva- tion, m Oregon Territory. Twenty tribes of Sionx Indians can be taken to Indian Territory, if the Presi. dont has power and the appropriation is made. GOVERNOR TILDEN AND MR, SCOTT LORD. Mr. Scott Lord wishes it to be understood that Gov- ernor Tilden has written no letter on the subject of the Southern outrages, The paper Mr, Lord had in his hand at the time of offering his reso- lution last Thursday was the origizal of his resolution, and not, as some of the pross understood, Mr. Tildon's letter advising the resolution, Mr. Lord says he had contemplated this matter somo time, and was eventu- ally prompted to bring it before tho House in the way he dia by hearing one of his republican fellow members exulting with anothor over the fact that the demo- crats had failed to put themselves on record regarding those outrages, notwithstanding the obligation imposed upon them by the {vct that they were now in power in the House of Representatives for the first time in six- teen years, ‘MR, HEWITT AND THE SIGNAL SERVICE. Mr. Hewitt will, on Monday, present a petition for tho continuance, unimpariod, of the signal service, signed by corporations, merchants, bankers and other rich men in comparison with whose combined wealth the hoards of Midas were a trifle. As Mr. Hewitt looked down over the long list he exclaimed that the sands of Pactolus were not so auriferous as the string of names before him; pointing out one he said, “that man represents the English Lloyds, with a capital of $50,000,000," Owing to the reading of the conference report on the Legislative bill the papers went over to Monday, when Mr. Hewitt will deliver bis groat sockdolager of apetition, Its naturo will be bost understood by its text, which Is as follows:— Tho undersigned, members of the Maritime Associa- tion of the port of New York, respecttully reprosent that the curtailment of the efficiency of the United States Signal Service, by the discontinuance of impor- tant seaboard stations and by the relimquishment of valuable service of thoso remaining, must resuit disus- trously to the interests of commerce. Wo respectfally urge that the public good and true economy demand that th® usefulness and ofliciency ot the service be enhanced rather than diminished, and wo respectfully urge upon your honorable bodies the improprioty of any action or policy to the contrary. THY PRESIDENT SIGNS THE BILL, EMPLOYING INDIAN SCOUT8—THE LEGISLATIVE BILL AND THE REDUCED APPROPRIATIONS. The President immediately signed, as soon as de- livered to him, the bill providing for tho employment of Indians as scouts to the number of 1,000, [oth the General Ot the Army and Lieatenant General Sheridan havo been very anxi6us that this should be done at tho earliest possible moment, #0 as to facilitate the ope- rations of the troopain the fleld against the hostile Sioux. Tho employment of Indians as “scouts and guides has been found very beneficial in movements against the [ndians, but so far as any reliance may bo placed in them for fighting purposes army officers do not depend upon them. ENLISTMENT OF A SPECIAL SERVICE AGAINST THE stoux. The House Military Committee agreed to-day to ro- porta bill in compliance with tho suggestions of the President's Message on the subject of the Sioux war. It authorizes the President In his discretion, and if the emergency continucs, to enlist a force of 2,500 special men for service against the hostile Sioux, and for no othor purpose; their enlistment to bo for aterm of six months, unless sooner discharged, i THE LEGISLATIVE BILL. The Legislative bill, as it has finally, 1d doth houses, appropriates a total of $15,373, — THE APPROPRIATION KEDUCTIONS. The exact total of the Consular bill as agreed upon in conference has not been given out yet, but the alterations in the several bills the past few days will | mako the reduction in the appropriations for tho cur- ront fiscal! year barely $29,000,000 as compared with Jast year, COMMODORE VANDERBILT. Throughout yesterday the condition of the veteran Commodore was encoursging, No dimination of strength since Friday was manifested, although his appetite had not improved. The usual refreshments were given ander the direction of the physicians, and consisted of eggs, stexk and melon. In the opinion of the doctors the diseate that has aMicted him js une der control, and they have now to aid nature to re- store bis system. The Commodore was bright and cheerfnl throughout the day and evening, conversing freely with the few friends out of the many who called upon him that were admitted to bis room. Among the visitors were tho Rey. R. 8 Moran, D. D., of Baltt- | tor the more, Md, = and Rev. Dr. = Deoms, with whom the Commodore conversed on religions topics, condensing his ideas tne objective points of the creeds founded on the Bible, and evincing tho depth and parity of the teachings of bis mother, It 7 pleasing rovelation of the Iife of the Commodore that amid stormy scenes of business, while caring for the interests of thousands and handling many millions of dollars, there was running through his mind, controle ing his action, and unsuspectea by the world, a deep religious sentiment implanted by a mother’s love. He Sard, a few days, ago, in conversation with a friend, ear never deterred mo from doing anything, Whea Men osked me to do things and I retused, thoy said ‘Why, what are you afraid of? Nothing. I had no fear; but I knew that what they wanted me to ao was wrong, an¢ when I refused I meant it,” On all maiters of business the mind of the Commo- dore is a clear ax the tones of a silver bell, Dr, Elliots reads to him the salient points of news in the morning and he exhibits great interest in the Hudson tunnel and in the proposed running of the cable st River bridge, The reports of the Saratoga and the yacht races give him considerable pleasure. The Hrravp bulletins of his health are read to him, and on Thursday afternoon he feit so much better than usfal that Ne remarked, iaughingly, to a friend, “1 would not swap chances with O’Conor now,” ‘At ten P.M, the Commodore was removed on his rolling chair from the library to bis usual dormitory.
