Sr. Lovis, Sept. 12, 1876, Reports have~ been in circulation hero sinco Sunday that a heavy forgery has been com- mitted on one of our city banks, but the matter has been kept #0 quiet that few if any of the facts could be ascertained. It now ap, pears that a young man, who formeriy lived in How- ard county, of this State, but now doing business here, forged the names of the proper officers to somo blank Howard county bonds and borrowed money on them as coliateral from one bank in this city, The forgery 13 said to have been for upward of $50,000; but this is not definitely known. It is, how- ever, kbown that ho obtained $3,500 here on $7,000 worth of bonds, and, it is beheved, that he raised some $15,000 in an Eastern city, supposed to be New York, The vonds were procured trom the house of Studley & Co,, of this city, who had printed bonds for Howard Country, and it appears the plate trom which they had been printed had not been destroyed. Under what representations the bonds were obtained is not yet known, It is said the young man intended to take the forged bonas up, he having used them merely to mect a business emergency.

Fort Tuomrsox, D. T., Sept. 3, 1876. Advices received from Fort Pierre, and subsequently confirmed, report that a party of five men wero killed by Indians near the Wakpa Sica, on their way to tho Black Hills, The massacro took place near the head of tho Sica, aud it is thought that some of tho party must have got away ,and penetrated the foot hills as far as Crook City, from which place a force of fifty miners came ont to open the road to the Missouri, It is reported that these wero attacked and surrounded, and peld corralied on a hill for 9 whole day, when a messenger escaped and went to the tho hills for reinforcements, Twenty others came out to the assistance of the besteged men, | but before being able to co-operate with them they | Were attacked and overpowered by the Indians an’ ALL MASSACRED. ‘This is the last report, which has not yet been con- firmed, but it seems probable, as tho Indians have ro- cently appeared in large numbers from the hostile camps in the neighborhood of tho Black Hills and even at the Cheyenne River agency. The troops having been withdrawn from Fort Pierre, the miners are no longer detained till sufficiently largo companies are formed for protection, but proceed to tho bilis in small parties, and thus fall AN RAST PREY TO THE SAVAGES. ‘The fact that a large number of the peaceable Two Kettle tribe recently crossed to tho east ride of the river and encamped near Fort Sully ts regarded as an | evidence that the hostiles are present in large numbers on the Fort Pierre route, and that there will be somo trouble on that line again during the fall, CUSTER'S HOBSK AXD RIFLE CarTURED, General Custer’s Remington rifle and a black horse he used to ride at Lincoln have been captured by some Black Hillers from a young warrior killed on the route to the Black Hills, SITTING DULL HOLDING THE POWDER RIVER LINK.

FZARS OF SIOUX AGGRESSION BY THE BLACK- FRET IN CANADA—THEIR WARRIORS ARMING BY AUTHORITY OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT— SITTING BULL'S PRESENCE IN THE BRITISH FOSSESSIONS ANTICIPATED. Wasnixetox, Sept. 12, 1876, A communication from the officials of tho Canadian government, forwardod trom the British Possessions, was some time since received at the State and War departments, making @ statement that the Blackfeot Indians had received a present of tobacco from Siting Bull, anda smoke was bad over the proposition of their tribe joming the hostiles on the war path, YRAR OF SIOUX VEXGEASCR. This was finally decided in the negative, and sinco then, im view of tho probability that they might bo subjected to the vengeful ire of the warring Sioux, the Blackfeet Indians became apprehensive of danger, and bave acked whether proper arrangements would ve made for their protection in the event of the Sioux coming down upon them as enemies, The Canadian government have signified to the Blackfeet that they did right in adopting their peaceful course, and that they will be protected as far as possible with such forco as it can provide. ARMING THE BLACK PRET, Bot as they aro at a long distance from where Can- adint troops cau be furnished and as they cannot bo wejl marched during this season to the country of the | Biackfeet, they are authorized, if necessary, to arm and equip Por defence in the employ of the Canadian | coveram 2,000 of their tribe to be used in defence of their interests and homes should they be attaunew they apprehend, by Sitting Bull and his warriors. Provision has accordingly been made by them im the event of the hostile Sioux going into British territory for refuge or warlike operations to meet them with armed resistance, and it is under- stood that the United States government will alo make A DEMAND POR THEIR CAPTURE and surrender to its forces when found there to bo punished for the transgressions and outlawry they have been guilty of on the Plains, This the Blackfeet, iis expected, will also aid in carrying out. From these facts and the movement of the Sioux northward away from Generals Crook and Té¥ry it is believed Sitting Bull will be heard of ero long in the British Pos- sessions, RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasuixotox, Sept. 12, 1870. THE ISSUING OF FOUR AND A HALF PER CENT BONDS—AN IMPORTANT LEGAL QUESTION IN- VOLVED—¥ORFIGN DEMAND FOR BONDS8—THE ROTHSCHILDS AND THE NEW LOAN, The question having been raised whether the Secre- tary of the Treasury was authorized by law to issue the four and a haif per cent bonds, it can be authori. tatively stated that the department long since settled it for itself Mnaily, The point has been made that the Jaw of January 20, 1871, gave authority for the issue of five per cents only, butit is maintained that this act To-cnactod the act, of July 34, 1870, and is simply amendatory "Wf thet part of it which Authorizes the issue of $200 000 000 at five per cent. The amendatory act, January 20, 1871, increased them to $500,000,000 and has been construed to take the $300,000,000 additional, covered by it {rom the amount of four per cents provided by that law also, leaving $700,000,000 of four per cents still to be issued in tho discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, and the four and a half per cents just as they were, Ibis ar- gued by those who differ with the vlew takou by the Treasury officials that the Revised Statutes bavea clause repealing all acts or parts of acts relative to the national loan, exeept — thoso_ pertaining to the five per cents as provided for in tho act of Jani ary 20, 1 But it is contended that the re-enacti clowso leaves the provisions of that act exactly as thoy Were relative to the fonr and a haif per eent bonds, Provided the total amount of bonds issued shall not eed the amount originally authorized and author. izes the interest on any of these bonds to be paid quar- terly, Inordor to set the whole question at rost it has been reicrred to-day to the First Comptroller as the legal accounting oficor of the Treasury, or for his opinion, and his decision will be at once prepared tn settlenientrof the controyery. The whole matter 18 re- garded as an absurdity so far as the legal wiseacres are concerned. The rapidly increasing popularity and demands for business purposes and investment which havermarked the incipient career ot the four and a half percent jonn still continue, besides the aggregate call of $30,000,000 of five-twenty bonds to bo’ funded at once. It 18 understood that advices haye been received of the disposal of $12,990,000 more of them already, Almost the entire lots disposed of are registered bonds for investment, and nearly the whole are to sup ply the foreign demand, The Treasury officials, and principally the Jonn branch, are engaged night and day in getting the bonds ready as fast as possible, It was ru- mored to-day that the Rothschilds would perhaps take the whole of the loan if they could get it, Tho additional $12,000,000 disposed of beyond the amount of $40,000,000 covered by the official call of the Treasury Department, it is stated, have been negotiated by Mr. Belmont, It will be remembered that Seerctary Morrill. hag not manifested any great anxiety to dispoge of all the four anda half per cent Joan, but may try his hand as he says at the four per centone, in order to saye as much interest to the goverument as ho can, aud aid in decreasimg the national debt, Tio is not in favor of the loan being monopolized, ““GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH.

THE NEWSBOY y EXCURSION, About 200 newsboys and bootblacks had a day of rare fun yesterday, Commodore Stierp’s invitation to an excursion was largely accepted, and as carly as seven o’clock A. M. tho “boys”? began to assomble in the City Hall Park, From there they marched cown to Commodore Stiern’s pier, at the foot of Liberty street. Two barges and two steambonts, profuacly decorated with bunting and flags, awaited their a1 rival there, and tho youngsters, with as little con- fusion as could be expected, were marshalied on board. At about half-past eight o'clock the boats left tho pior for Raritan Bay, where arrangements had been made to land; but, finding it would make It late for tho en- | terprising pediors of news, they changed the pro- gramme, sailed up the East River as far as Greenpoint and then turned back and sailed up as far as Yonkers, onthe Hudson. A band of music accompanied the arty and their musical efforts were appreciated by the ¥8, who “Joined in the festive dance with” eagerness and vim, A collation of beef and ham sandwiches, bread and butter, pressed beef, red herrings, cheese, crackers, ginger’ snaps, sponge cakes, lemonade and milk, was served tho youngsters, 0 seemed to relish the viands exceedingly. Mr. Charles F. Stiern, son of the Commodore, accompanied the party from the ‘start, and pertormed the honors of the occasion with tho most benign courtesy. The good and benevolent Com. modore boarded the steamboat opposite Staten Island, on her downward trip, and was received by the boys with such hearty cheers of welcome as certainly left no room for doubt as to the extont of their gratitude for his kindvess. After Mr. O'Connor (Superintendent of the Newsboys’ Lodging House) had Festored order, the Commodore ¢ dress, in which he expressed bis pl cursion had given such evident satisfaction and that the boys had condncted themscives with # side He stated that thi had been a sort of trial trip, and it went off so well ho hoped to give them several similar excursions another summer. His speech was loudly applauded by tho boys, who were fully alive to the import of his re marks. They lanited at Liberty street at about five PP. M.. where the hospitable Commo- dore nad ordered a ‘spread’? of bunns, erackers, sandwiches and cheese for the excursionisis who, being inwardly incapacitated for receiving more, caretully stowed it away in the convenient pockets of their jack- ets for future nse. A litie incident occurred as tho bonis were making their way down to Raritan that occasioned some exciiement and no ttle merriment, One ot tho Inds, John McCarty by name, wishing to exhibit his agility and skill as a swimmer leaped irom the berge and swam some distance from the boats. Aftor his swimming propevsity had been satisfied a boat in attendance was put out after him, and he was brought to the vessel. Hig com. rades, anxious to illustrate the biblical injunction to “coat”? your neighbor, gave him of their raiment, that he might be none the worse for his bath. The superintendents of the various lodging he (five in number) accompanied their charge to enjoy the excursion immensely. No. accidents oc- cured to mar the plowsure of the trip and the Inds re- turned to Now York, enlivened by one day's bright- ness that will, donbtiess, be remembered with joy. ANOTHER § SPANISH OUTRAGE, Nows has been roceived in this city of other brutal outrago committed by the jards in the city of Havana on a nat. uralized American citizen, It appears that Dr. José RK, Simoni, a resident of this city, of about fifty. five years of age, was a passenger on board of the steamer City of Havana, having taken his passago from Progreso, in Moxico, to New York, by way of Ha- vana, Upon tl tt ‘onsel at that port he was invited to go ashore and pay a short visit to the city, White descending the Iadder jeading to a boat, and hesitating Hf he svoutd go, he was suddenly seized from bebind by two police olficiais, who bad been on board the City of Havana, and forced into a boat of theirs. The old man struggled with desperation to get away from his captors, but did not succeed. One ot tho officers of the City of Havana had tho courage, however, \o jamp into the boat and accom. panied the prisoner ashore. The old gentleman was then taken betore Captain General Joveliar, who im- mediately released him. He. prudently rejoined nie steamer and arrived in this ely last night. States Consul General Hail came and acted with great energy. The explanation of the whole matter is that Dr. Simont is the Tather-iB- jew of b~ ito celebrated Cuban patriot, General Ignacio Agramonte, Dr. Simoni has receivol revere internal injaries. His body is covered with contusions aad his clothes, during the struggle, were torn to raga, “WIDOW” BUTLER ENGAGED. | Desehier REASONS WHY SHE CANNOT TAKE PART IN THE INDIANA CANVASS—HER OWN COURTSHIP TO BE ATTENDED TO, Boston, Sept. 12, 1876.
