C., Sept. 21, 1876, The steamship Regulator, of the New York and Wil- mington line, which touched at Beautort, arrived hero to-day with Messrs Walter I. Parsley, J. M. Cronley and Fred Price, three of the sarvivors of the ill-starred steamship Rebecca Clyde, which was wrecked at Ports- mouth last Sunday. Mr. Cronley furnishes the tellow- ing particulars :-— The Clyde left Smithville, at the mouth of the Cape Fear River, at six o'clock Iast Saturday morning, the wind blowing quite fresh at the time from the norsh- east, All told, there were twenty-threo persons on board, six of whom were passengers, At twelve o'clock on Saturday night Cape Lookout was passed, at which time all was well and no apprebensions of danger were felt, At © three o'clock on Sunday morning tho wind got around to the southeast and began to blow a gale, which had increased atten o'clock, to a fearful storm. About seven o’clcok that portion of the deck joad which was stored aft of the houses, consisting of about fifty harrels of rosin, began to roll about, and soon afterward broke the steering gear on both sides of thedeck. Some of the men were promptly pat to work to clear the chains, in which they wore assisted by Mr, De Loot Whilden, = passenger from Charleston.- While so engaged tho lashings by which the deck load was secured were Dlown overboard and fouled tho ship's propeller, and about the same time an enormous wave swept the deck and carried off Mr. Whilden, the first mate and two seamen, who were all lost. About twelve o’clock Captain Childs gave up all hope of saving the ship, and stated that the only chance Joft was in beaching her. fle knew that she was being driven on the coast, and himself cast the lead as the abip strack on the sand, which occurred about one o'clock, The Captain advised every one to provide himseif with a life preserver and to prepare for a des- perate attempt. At the same time bimself and the cook lowered one of the bouts, which he intended for himself and the passengers, while the other officers and the cr were to take the other boat, As tne Captain’s boat strack the water she was swept away at the game moment. Three of tho crew sprang for the boat and managed to cling to it, sincere it soon swamped. One of these was lost, but the others succeeded in reaching the shore. Tho re- mainder of those on board clung to the ship until she wont to piecos under them, which was about three o'clock. The last seen of Captain Childs was after tho ship had gone to pleces, and he was then clinging to a spar with both arms. He was thus seen by Mr. Cronley, who also attempted to graep the spar, bat missed it, and asho hada life preserver, was eventually saved, ‘THR Lost, The following is a list of the lost:— Captain D, C, Childs, E.

Captain Childs’ body was washed up on the beach about hailf-past threo o’clock, and, as it was still warm, every exertion was used to restore animation, but with: out avail This was tho only body recovered when Mr, Conley left. The young men from this place were taken down to Beaufort in the mail boat—an open whale boat—on Tucsday, while the others remained on tho island to await the arrival of the underwriters’ agent, THE CARGO, Much of the cargo has been washed up on the beach, The survivors speak with tearful earnestness of Cap- tain Childs. He did everything that mortal man could do to save his ship and the lives of those who wore intrusted to his care, MURDEROUS TRAMPS, TERRORISM ON ACCOUNT OF ROWDY RUFFIANS ‘WHO BEG THEIR BREAD THROUGH NEW ENG- LAND. ‘ Bostoy, Sept. 21, 1876, There is areign of terror on account of the tramp nuisance throughout the entire castern section of the country, in cities and large towns, as well asin the rural districts, Their dopredations and outrages aro daily becoming bolder. Only last Sunday an inoffen- sive old woman in the town of Otis was murdered without tho slightest provocation, and when taken into custody the only explanation offered by the vaga- bond was that ho ‘couldn't help it,”” and he was “‘per- fectly willing the crowd should lynch him.” An officer prevented this, however, and the wretch was to-day committed for murder, Another, the circumstances of which are moro hor- rible even than the above, is reported from Moaway, a small town a lew miles southeast from this city. About twelvs o’clock yesterday a tramp called at the house of Mr. John Neylon, near tho brush factory, at the boundary boiween Medway and Norfolk, and asked for iood. fis wants wero supplied and it was supposed he had departed on his travels, Ho proved to be scoundrel, however, as ho decoyed a little daughter’ of Mr.’ Neylon, eight years old, into the woods, and attempted to out- rage lier, The'child screamed for help, notwithstand- ing the threats of the ruilan, and her’ cfies aroused her father, who at onco went to her relief. The tramp became 80 onraged at his faliure that he lifted the child bodily and threw her intoa pond, He then fled into the depths of the wood and escaped. Mr. Neylon touod the child in the pond, and, with the assistance of neighbors, rescued her in an ox hausted condition, ‘There was great excitement in the town over the affair, and a large crowd turned out to scour the woods culprit, The indignation was intense, and had mp deen caught yesteruay he would have been lynched, Tho woods wero surrounded, but the search for the miscreant proved unavailing up to alate hour last night. It 1 known that he is still in the woods, however, and the search for him continues. It is not improbablo that the citizens will take the law into their own hands if the criminal should be found, “MOLLIES” GETTING JUSTICE. MURDERERS AND PERJURERS VIGOROUSLY PROSE- CUTED IN PENNSYLVANIA, Pottsvitix, Pa., Sept. 21, 1876. Hitherto one of the defences greatly relied upon by the criminal classes in this county, and especially by the ‘“Mollies,” was the wholesaio perjury of thoir friends to prove alibis in case of arrest and trial. Sev- eral notorious murderers have in the past escaped tho halter by this means, two of whom are known posi- tively to have been guilty, but who wero not tried the second time. Wholesale perjury was relied upon by all the “Mollies’? when they were first arrested, and it known through detectives that an entire tine of defence was prepared for Doyle. Just before his triatat Mauch Chunk witnesses wero drilled as to what they wer rT to, The would-be perjurers somehow received intelligence that they had been betrayed, and Doyle had no defence at all, In the trial of the Yost marderers a number of wit- nesses for the deience perjured themselves and wero arrested. ‘Lhe law officers recognized tho fact that for the safo administration of justice perjary must be made not only odious, but as dangerous to those who should be guilty of it as murder, A vigorous prosceution Was, therefore, resvived upon, The first trial of perjured Witnesses began yesterday and ended to-day ib the conviction of the detendant, o1 ines, Dany, He will pay the fail penalty of the law, Tho trial of Miebael Lawlor, of Shenandoan, an ac- cussory belore t tin the murder ot William Wren, at Raven Rau, began to-day and will, no doubt, end shortly in his conviction, Patrick McKenna, Body Master of the Molly Maguire division at Summit Hill, was lodged tn jail here to-1ay to await his trial on the charge of the murder of Mor- NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22. 1876.—TRIPLE SHEET. 7 _ THE INDIAN PROBLEM, ‘THE COMMISSION IN COUNCIL WITH BED CLOUD AND HIS PEOPLE—THE CHIEFS WILLING TO @O TO INDIAN TERRITORY AFTER EXAMINING ‘THE OOUNTEY—SPECIMENS OF INDIAN OR4- Tor.

Among the Prominent Indians present were Red Cloud, Little Wound, Swift Bear, Red Leaf, Black Coal, White Tail, Sitting Bull, an Ogaliala Sioux; Pretty Crow, Ea Dress, Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses and Quick Bear. Many officers from Camp Robinson attended the council, which lasted two hours. Red Cloud made the first speech. BED CLOUD’S BPERCH. He said he and his people were willing to give up the Black Hills country; also to have his young men take ‘8 journey to see the country spoken of by the com- mission (tho lodian Territory), and if they report it good country his people will so consider. If they report it bad they will consider it bad, REMARKS OF OTHER CHIRVS, Quick Bear said that wnen the young men got beck from that country the Indians would want to go to Washington with their agents, chiefs and intorpreters, and have a talk with their Great Father before giving this country up. Sitting Bull, tho Ozallala, said:—“I havo got a jadg- inst the agent, It ho is sare every ten days promptly, it ig all right; but if he don’t, I will go North.’” Young-Man-Afraid-ot-Hie-Horses sald:—'My father shook hands with thetGreat Father on the Platte, and was told that this country belonged to the Dakotas. Iwas brought up in this country to beachief. The soldiers have no concern im this country sineo. [ havo been here and hare tricd todo right. [ wish to toll you plainly I have been ashamed ever since soldiers came here and sat down, I you my friends who have brains and hearts would Great Father what my opinion 1s and what I h said. agree to the young men going on the jouroey, but we are going to ask the Great Father a great man: things, We expect to have food and blankets as long as welive, The Great Father bas not lived up to bis promuscs in the past. ”? INDIAN SARCASM. . American Horso said the soldiors had no business here. If they wish to arrest anvbody the country is wide, lot them go and arrest them; there are a great many bad men in the Nortn, let the soldiers go and arrest them. (Laughter on the part of the Indians.) Here Red Cloud took Dr. Daniels, Major Howar id Joseph Bismett and set them among the Indiav chr and gaid he wanted them to do his business tor hi and go to the Southern country with bis young men, and he also wanted F. ©. Boucher, Antoine Janis, Bul Lowtand, Hank Clifford, Tudd Randall, Frank Solway and Nelso Moran to go a8 interpreters, RED DOG'S SPEECH, Red Dog said the Indians were not willing to sign any paper until tho young men got back irom the Southern country and they had a chance to go to Washington and talk face to face with the Great Father, Black Coal, chief of the Arapahoes, said his people had an equal right with the Sioux to the Black Hilis country, and they would want their re of money received for them. Hojwas willing to gp and look at the Southern country. BISHOP WHIPPLE’S REPLY. Bishop Whipple replied to tho Indians tbat the Great Father reqaired them to signa Paper binding them- selvez to go to tho Missouri River. If they did not go to the Indian Territory thoy would get no more rations, He urged them to consent at once to the proposition and go to tho Indian Territory upon the return of the young men. Judge Gaylord, Solicitor of the Interior Department, followed to the same effect, urging prompt action on their part in order to secure rations in the future. While he was talking Sitting Bull, to whom the Presi- dent gave a fine riflo last year, broke up the council, saying thero would be plenty more days to talk. Sup- plies wero issued to the Indians for a feast to-night, and it fs thought another council may be held to- morrow. TROUBLE WITH THE NEZ PERCES INDIANE— ANOTHER TREATY BROKEN AND ANOTHER WAR THREATENED. Wasutixetos, D. C., Sept. 21, 1876, General 0. 0. Howard, in command of the Depart- ment of Oregon, has arrived here to endeavor to adjust the difficulty with the Nez Perces Indians, which threatens to result in a general Indian war on that frontier. These Indians claim that promises made to them by the Modoc Peace Commissioner, Meacham, to the effect that a certain valley, with its salmon fish- eries, should be reserved to them {reo from tho white men, have been broken, Through the influence of the government of Oregon ‘and the late Secretary Delano this valley was opened to settlement. WAR THREATENED. The whites have crowded in thero and have threat- ened to drive the Indians out. One Indian was re- cently murdered by white men and both parties are now arming. General Howard is of the opinion that a commission of civilians and army officers could adjust tho difficulty and prevent a war, which would cost the government at least $10,000,000, The Interior Depart- ment authorities seom to epprove General Howard's plan, and it will be submitted to the Adjutant General ot the army.

H., Sept. 21, 1876, About 350 men, Iaborers on the Manchester and Keene Ratiroad, marched into this city about one o’clock this afternoon, armed with sticks and clubs, and created a general alarm. The Court House bell was rung and Central squaro was speedily filled with citizens. The men belong to Commer’s gang and are princiwally Italians, The men from other gangs have joined them. They claim that they wero promised their pay on tho 2oth of August, but have been pat off from day today, They also state that their boxrding house keepers can no jonger obtain credit and are out of provisions and that they have nothing to eat, They say they only want THEIR PAY AND SOMETHING TO RAT.

On the Court being convened Colonel Whitley was called for cross-examination, which was conducted by Mr. Fullerton. In giving a narrative of his proceedings he said that he again came to Washington on the 27th of April, the safe having been blown on the 23d; he saw Harrington and Babcock; in a conversation with General Babcock the latter said something about Har- Tington’s bad management, and remarked, “I thought you wero too smart to be connected with it,”? or something of the samo import; the witness conveyed the idea to Babcock that Harrington and witness were engaged in it, and Babcock then made tho remark; the witness said ho did not think that Babcock made any remark, one way or the other, a8 to his baving any knowledgo of the imatter; the witness went to see Geverul Babcock next at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, of New York; the conversation took place on the stairs in the month of diay; the witness weutto see him in regard to tho investigation of the Secret Service, and told him that his administration had been honest; Babcock said to him, “Stand by your guns and I'll protect your rear;’’ the witness did not sup- pose that General Babcock was cntirely ignorant ot his (Whitley's) connection with the sale burglary, ior Babcock had seut him to Harrington. Judge Fullertou—Give any reason you have for sup- poring that General Babeock knew of the sato burglary. Witness replied that he never talked of the affair, and told Babcock that Bluiord Wilson was bis enemy, and General Babcock replied, ‘*I think not.’? Witness was questioned at length as to his testimony betore the Congressional committee investigating the affairs of the District of Columbia, and was asked, ‘Did you not intend to convey the impression by your an- Swers.that you knew nothing of the burglary ?” gitness replied that they did not ask the proper question, and said to Mr. Fullerton, “If you had cross- examined me they would have got all’’ Judge Fullerton—Then 1 would have had better lack than | have had to-day.

Nettleship was then called, ana betore being sworn tho District Attorney obtained permission from the Court to enter a nolle prosequi in regard to him. Nottleship being one of the parties indicted for con- nection with the conspiracy, his prerence created quite @ flutter, it being the first time ho hus given any ovi- dence in public in regard to tbe burglary, the prosecu- tion having been unable, although he was indicted, to bring him here during tho former trial. The court room was densely crowded, and his evidence was given in a rapid and jolly manner, and it created quite a sen- susion. Betore commencing the District Attorney satd there was no pledge or promise made him, but that be en- tered the nolle prosequi in stnpie justice to Nettle- ship. Nettleship testified that he resided at Newark, N. J. and bad for several years held the position ot Assistant Chief of the Secret Service, under Colonel H. C. Whit- ley, aud took charge of matters curing tho latter's ab- gence; he said that in March of 1874 ho received in- structions from Whitley to come to Washington and bring a couple of men with him to doa pitce of work; Whitley told him that the folks at Washington wero being investigated by Congress and that they were pressed very bard; that the me- morialisis were getting up testimony to injure them; ho said our duty would be to connect with the memorialisis and ascertain what they were doing so as to be able to counteract their efforts and post our folks if there was unything wrong being done, Wit- ness first sent for a man named J, N. Overworth and another named Gus Ziruth, two fellows who were will- ing to do such a Job, and engaged them to goto Washington, giviog them the same orders that he ro- ceived from Whitley; witness accompanied them part of the way, telling them they should get in with Wh correspondent of the New York Tribune; Captat Adams, 9 newspaper writer, and A. M. Gibson, correspondent of the Now York sun; alao with Mr. Columbus Alexander, who was the head of the memori- aliats, who had asked Congress to investigate the affairs of the District and try and find out everything they could, especially where the newspaper men got the information they published, and the report daily to George Gideon, who was Babcock’s assistant; some days aftorward, probably tho 27th or 28th of March, Whitley told witness that he had better = go down to Washington and see bow things were working, which witness did; upon arriving im Washifgton witness loarned that one of his men (Overworth) bad been arrested for selling cigars without a license, or out of boxes without stamps; Whitley also came to Washington with him, and they both called upon Harrington at his house, whore witness spoke of Overworth’s arrest; Harring- ton said the men should Lereafter report to him, so that he would know them. Witness secured a release for Overworth and ordered him back to Now Yor«; after taking dinner with Whitley and Bantield he returned to New York, os did Whitley; about the Ist of Aprit Whitley complained that tho in Washington dia nothing; he bad in the meantimo sent a man named Parker here in Over- worth’s place, and said be had a good pian, and one that, if worked properly, wouid suit PROPOSED BURGLARY. He then spol ft the investigation at Washi 5 and said that the books of John 0. Evans, a district contractor, had been called for and brought before the commitieo; but that the memorialists thought the books were not genuine; he said if these samo books could be stolen and given to the memorialists, and have it arranged that the memorialists would produce them as the genuine books, and then cxpose the memo. rialists alterward, after they found they had been fooled, that they Would be blown out ot the water and the memorialists would be ridiculed so that there would be no more inv tions heard of. Witn ked “Bat suppose it don’t work, what then?” Whitley answered, ‘Harrington is the District At- torney there, and he wiil tako care of us all;” adding, “Wedont intond that any ono shall be burt, only ridiculed and blown out of the water.’” During this time Zirruth was working in with Alex- ander, and through others had managed to get intro- duced to him and other memorialists ; he was letting on that he wanted to buy property and build a saloon; on April 8 witners was in this city again and met Michael Hayes, a detective, who had been sent on here to work part of the caso by Whitiey ; so far, witness had taken no steps to have the burglars break the safes open; he bad a long talk with H at the Owen House, in thia city, frst giving Hayos a supposed case, to see how he would bite at it— speaking about robbing Comptroller Greea's safe, in New York, upon which Hayes said impatiently, “What is the job” bo told Hayes that ali he ited to do was to mako the memorialisis “sick; that tho books must be taken out of Hurrington’s oflice and put in Alexander’s house in some wi that ho must bo fooled into receiving ther, to take them there must rested just as ho was de- livering the books, and would bavo to go to jail for fow days; that the purpose of it ali was to have some fun, as Whitley told him; Hbayes said he would go to New York and hire a man to do the burglary part, and a man who would agree to go to jnti for a little whik witness said that from $500 to $1,000 would be pait for the job; Hayes went to New York, and witness re- maived fo this city; about April 14 Hayes telegraphed here to him ‘Parties won’t sell at that price—want $2,000. "” Witness then went back to New York, but wes anablo to find Mayes; he showed Whitiey the telegram and arked what he should do; Whitley said, ‘Go down 10 Somerville’s office, on Chambers street and get Mier; he will do the work;’? witness did go to Somervillo’s office, but did nat find Miles; did not tell Somervillo what kind of a job he wanted Miles for, vat said he had some work for him to do: on tho next day ho called again to see Somerville, and was told that at ten o'clock Miles could be found at Deimoni- co's; ho went there and met Miles, and told him he wanted a job done in Washington, and that one of tho rly would have to be arrested and kept tn jail for a ttle while: Miles, who is also known as Whigs and Williams, sai “It wou't do lor me to goto jail; some one would know me; but 1 will get youa man todo that part, and | will blow open the safe in filteen minutes.” 1 then left him aod went to see Hayes, and told him that he would seo me on the Jersey serrybont t next. morning — sitting —_ between two men and that they were the men who would go to Washington and do the job; the next morning witness found that Miles seoured Walter brown, alias Ben- ton, to assist nim ; be did not introduce them to Hayes, but left him to scrape up an acquaintance with them; the three men lett for Washington together, witness remaining in New York; on the 9th of the same mon called mnon Maxrinaton ton asked him how the work was gett witness inquired what kind of work, bo = replied :—"This new enterprise, book and paper business,” witness asked bim if their bids re safe, when Harrington, as be did always, nd said that be (Harrington) was the and that no one would be burt, that he would protect all; witness told him that to give the barglary a decent appearance one ot the party would have to go to jail for Harrington said alt Tight, that the thing was for the purpose of throwing mud on Alexander; witness had a conversation with Harrington at the Capital in the room of the | joint committer, when Harrington said. he had san arrangement by which he eould get a lotter from Now York purporting to give him in- formation that his safe was to be biown open and that | would be hia pretext for calling in the police to arrest tho burglars as he was delivering tho suppored books to Alexander, Witness also arranged it with him (bat Hayes and Miles shouldexamine the sate in Harring | ton’s office, take soundings, &c. Witness also told | hitn that bo intended to get out of this city on the | morning previous to the burglary taking placo; that | Mayes was competent to take charge of the conne Witness iett the city prior to the sale burglary. On Sunday, April 26, three di after the sale blow- ing, the witness recoived a telegram from Washington, asking him to come on immediately, signed “HL. ;? he did not come, but went to Boston, where ho met Whit- ley and showed him the telezram; Whitley said ho would go to Wasbington; witness told him that he thought Hayes had been blowing; a couple of days after witnoss receivod a letter from Whiuley—a blind— to the effect that *the counterteit case is all right, See H. and send bim West,” meaning that the safe case was all rightand that I should find Hayes and send him out of the country; 1 then sot out to find Hayes, and finally found’ him, and got him to agree to go away by paying him money; in the meantime Whitley had returned to New York from Washington and told how the thing miscarried; that everything worked all richt, but that | Alexander did not wake up or receive the books, and | wnton bad been arrested and was in jail; te said, that Hayes had talked about the case'in Balti- more; he met Hayes some days alterword, he having returned, and told bim to go to Somerville’s office to make some kind of an affidavit to aid him in getting Benton reloasea trom jail. MAY RA? PRRIURY. Hayos was to swear tha! it was the memorialists who employed him; Hayes went there, as ho aiterward learned trom Somerville, who said he had been em- ployed to take care of Benton; at hia request witness accompanied Somerville to Philadelphia, where they bad an engagement to meet Harringion; they met in tho Bingham House; Somerville charged Harrington ‘with going back on his promises to release Benton and | other things that he had agreed to do; Somerville left the room for a moment, when witness said to Harring- ton, “ick, you will get us ail into trouble if you do not do as you promised;’’ Harrington replied, ‘fhero ia no use talking; I can’t do everything; don’t you worry ; I'll take good care of you, ? Witness being asked to fix the date of tho interview, said he could not. The question was asked if he reg- istered at the hotel, when he replied, ‘Just about that time I was doing anything else but registering,” which answer caused great laughter, Leaving off tho narrative at this point tho witness testified to sending Hayes to Canada to get him out of the way of Bluford Wilson and the committee, who were anxious to investigate the safe burglary and wanted the evidence of Hayes; Hayes was promised $8 a day while away and $100 month to his wito while he was absent, which terms he agreed to; an arrange- ment was made by which he could correspond with the witness, who was to be known as J, P. Shaw, of No, 168 Forsyth strect, New York, aud Hayes ‘as Mrs, Hines, Commercial Hotel, Montreal, Canada. T witness visited dayes while tn Canada, and Judged from conversation with him that he would make an affidavit clearing the Secret Service division of any connection with the sate burglary; the affidavit to be used before the committee. The witness tele- graphed to W. W, Applegate at Boston, “Stocks up; Duy. (Signed) Miledge Johnson,” which meant that Whitley should send a man on to see Hayes tor his alli- davit, which Hayes afterward refused to make, The witness was about taking up another branch of the caso whoa the Court was adjourned. It 1s probable that ho will occupy the stand aii day to-morrow, AN OFFICIAL SENTENCED. THE LUZERNE COUNTY COURT HOUSE RING BE- CEIVING PUNISHMENT. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Sept. 21, 1876, Reinhart Gersbacher, ex-County Commissioner ‘of Luzerne, and a leading member of the Court House Ring, whose trial in six cases of extortion and em- bezzlement was set down for this week, to-day aston- tshed the entire community by pleading ‘guilty’ to the five charges of extortion and ‘not guilty” to the charge of embezzlement, which tho leading counsel say cannot be sustained.

THE BEAVER MEADOW MASSAORE.

Lee is sad and threaten- ing at times. There is a rumor that he intends to ex- pose more than is already known. NEGROES AND UNITED TROOPS, STATES Cuarcestoy, S. C., Sept, 21, 1876, ‘The city was considcrably exeited to-day by a tele- gram recoived from Augusta, to the effect that a com- pany vf United States soldiers had been fired into by the negro rioters in Aiken county, and that five ot the soldiers had been ecriously wounded.

Wasmixatox, Sept, 21, 1876, Neither Governor Chamberlain nor any one repre- senting South Carolina had called on the Attornoy General up to the hour of closing his office to day, Judge Taft loit to-night for Ohio, ,Itis thought that the South Carolina delegation thus far have failed to convince the administration of the propriety of send- ing troops to the State in any larger number than is covered in the disposition now made. However, a h official of the government acknowledged that a very bad stato of affairs exists there and the declaration of martial law again in the Southern States 1s among tho near probabilities and is now under consideration if the prosent state of affairs becumos aggravated.
