Tin: telegraph reported brielly the fact
that the Secretary of Interior had modified
hi- order in regard to Soldiers'additional
koine-tends. Mr. W. W. Curtis, of Wash*
in-ton City lias sent out a circular from
which we extract the following part of the
nullified ruling: "It now appears that owing
to the death or change of residence of the
mildier, it is often difficult and in many cases
impossible to procure his attendance at the
Local Land Ollice for the purpose of making
tin* required affidavit, and in other eases
wiiere the entry has been made at a Land

dier, and the land subsequently sold, the
v jldier has no longer any inducement to com
ply with the order of May 17, above referred
to, 1 have therefore determined to modify
my order of the date above mentioned, so
far as the same relates to applications for
entrv which were pending at its date, and to
allow all such entiie. as appear to have been
m.ule by a duly qualified person, in accord
ance with the regulations of this Depart

IT is expected that the Dakota and City of
Panama w ill shortly be withdrawn from the
northern service and the Salvador and South
Carolina substituted in their places. These
latter arc somewhat smaller ships hut arc
both regarded as good, serviceable crafts.
The City of Panama ; will be put on the
Panama route as that trade has increased
immensely since the agreement between the
I'. M. S. S. and Panama Companies, and it
is not improbable the Dakota may run on
that route too. The Australian line is also
doing a good and increasing business, but
the China and Japan line is running light.
This company seems to have a fair lot of

BY a private letter from San Francisco we

ease is frightfully on the increase. The in
terior towns of California have adopted strict
precautionary measures against its introduc

in hand to also see to it that it gains no foots

Ax Indian doctor, named Pete, belonging
to the Skagit tribe, was killed at Muckilteo
by another Indian Sunday. He was
stabbed in the neck by the other, while in
his canoe, from which he arose, ran a little
way up the beach, fell down and expired.
An examination of his body discovered scars
all over, said to have been caused by the In*
dian process of doctor making. The mur
derer escaped, but as he is kuown to the
other Indians he may yet have to pay for the
killing of the old doctor.

FITOM THE DAILY OF FRIDAY.
In a previous issue we alluded to the pre
valence of " bard times" in New York, and
other Eastern cities, and from more recent
reports it appears that this prostration of
business is not confined to that locality or in
deed, to our own country. In England the
same depression is felt. Years have passed
since there was so lind a season. This effect
is not attributed to any special cause, or im
pending calamity, but a number of things
have conspired to produce an unfavorable
result, which doubtless will pass away with
out a general crisis. A large amount of
eapit:-' is lying idle in the vaults, and rates
of interest are exceedingly low—from two to
three per cent, per annum when four or five
have been the ordinary ruling rates. The re
ports from all quarters of the globe are
similar, all note a general prostration of
present business, with a poor prospect for an
immediate revival of trade. Those who are
making a fair living anywhere, should he
contented for they are doing as well as their
neighbors, and much better than the poorer
classes in cities, where any marked depression
is so severely felt.
IT appears that the recent appearance of
the circus in this place has infected the
juvenile portion of the community with an
unprecedented passion forlofty tumbling and
tight-rope performances. Bills are out for a
" Grand Centennial Show," which indicate
that adolescence is not a whit behind his pa
triotic progenitors in making use of the
American flag to dispose of his wares. The
price of tickets has been placed at two mar
hies, which all must admit is exceedingly
low, even in these dull times when specie is
scarce. And that these youth are not be
hind the age in any manner, is illustrated by
a little episode which occurred a few days
ago: Prompted doubtless by a spirit of
economy, the managers of the " Grand Cen
tennial Show," availed themselves of written
tickets of admission, and these were counter
feited by a Belknap ot the party, who drove a
lucrative business until the fraud was dis
covered. It is thought that the spurious
tickets if recognized by the company will
haukrupt the institution.

TUE Oregoniau gives a description of a
mammoth stock of pie-plant, or rhubarb,
raised by Mr. Buck, of Oregon City, from
ities of the outline, 19 feet and 2 inches:
distance from the base of the stalk to the ex
treme top of the leaf, 4 feet 5t inches; length
of the stalk, 22 inches; distance from the
top of the stalk to ilie extreme top of leaf,
31J inches; extreme breadth of leaf, 3 feet
and 2J inches; circumference of the stalk at
the base, 6J inches; circumference of the
stalk where the leaf commenced, 5 inches.
The vegetable from which the leaf was taken
was raised from seed sent to Mr. Ruck by-
Mrs. J. (}. Wilson, while that iady was in
Ohio. Mr. Atkinson has made an accurate
diagram of the monster leaf and stalk, giv
ing the dimensions of the same, which lie
will forward to Mr. Dufur, now at Philadel

INJUNCTION —On application of 11. G.
Strove, Esq., Attorney for the Northern Pa
cific Railroad Company, a temporary- injunc
tion was granted on Monday by- Judge
Greene, restraining the Sheriff from selling
the railroad and other property of the com
pany for the non-payment of some two
thousand dollars taxes assessed against the
company by the authoiitics of this county.
IT is claimed by the company that the rail
road is exempted* from taxation by a special
provision in their charter, and that their
lands are not taxable because the United
States hold the legal and equitable title of the
same, until the cost of surveying and locat
ing said lands is paid by the company. The
final hearing of the cause will he postponed
until the regular term of tliC District Court
in December next.
LATE returns from Stevens county fixes
the population at 350, one hundred of whom

2,000 horses, 500 sheep and 150 head of lings.
It is almost exclusively a stock country,
though small grains and \-egctablcs arc pro
duced in sufficient quantities for home con
sumption. Timothy grows well. There are
a great many stock ranches in Hie district
that can be taken up by any one desirous of
so doing. The Chinese are engaged in min

of country embraces the Crab Creek and Big
Lake portion of Stevens county, and tip the
Columbia river from White Bluffs to the

THE SEATTLE RACES. —The following is
from our Seattle correspondent:
"Tom Merry" won the race on Wednes
day, in three straight heats. "Butralph"
and" Rosa Mansfield"'were in the race " Tom
Merry" is full brother to "Osceola." The
race was mile heats, best three in five, purse
s3oo—The match took place under Califor
nia State Rules, The races are open to
all except "Osceola" aud "Twenty-one."
There were eleven entries in all. Howard,
from Esquamault Harbor, brought three fly
ers overonthe City of Panama, and he says
he has not the least objection to taking some
Puget Souud money home with liim. The
crowd here is tremendous. Hotels and
boardingohouscs full. Billiard tables are
used for beds, when not used for billiards.
We have consolation iu Seattle. When the

that the hotel clerk so smillingly, says beds
all full, all the chairs engaged but gentlemen
you will find plenty of saw-dust to repose

Political.
I.Nivr tNAPOLis, July 18. —The chairman of
the independent Greenback State Central
Committee denies the report that the green
back party of Indiana will support Til
den and llcndricks in case the House repeals
the resumption net, and savs in no case will
the Independents of Indiana support the
Democratic ticket, either State or national.
They will stand by Peter Cooper and their
own State ticket at all hazards, believing
they can carry the State. The Committee has
called a new State convention for August
17th to take position on the silver question,
and will declare that the State legislature
has the right to make silver coins of the
United States, full legal tender without limit
as to the amount, and will make the question
a test one at the election for members at the
next general assembly.
Peter Cooper's friends say they will nomi
nate him as candidate for Vice President
next weec in place oi Booth, who is delieved
to have made.the great mistake of his life in
declining. They expect to carry Missouri
and Indiana in October, and agec-t to believe
Cooper more likely to be elected than Hayes
or Tilden.
The Herald's Washington dispatch says:
The desperation with which the Western soft
money men arc pursuing their project of re
peal the resumption act, obviously reveals
their object, which is none other than to
drive Tileen from the ticket. The leaders in
it are those who are opposed to Tildeu's as
ccndcucy in the party, and will not hesitate
to do anything that will embarrass or cripple
him. It cannot he denied but what Hen
dricks has encouraged this movement very
recently, and since his meeting with Tilden
at Saratoga. It is a plain fact that Hendricks
can't make up his mind to be the tail end of
the ticket.

quarters this morning:
CAMP ON GOOSE C'REKK, Wyoming, July 25.
To Gen. Sheridan:—l sent out Lieut. Sib«
Icy on the (ith with a small detachment of
the 2d Cavalry to escort my guide, Frank
Gruurd, in making a reconnoisance. When
the party came, on the 7th, to a point near
where the Little Big Horn debouches from
the mountains they encountered the Sioux in
strong force, and saw enough to convince
them that the main village of the hostilcs is
not far from that poiut. They succeeded in
making their escape only after abandoning
their iiorses and marching across the rugged
foot hills of the Big Horn mountains. Lieut
Sibley and Frank Gruard are entitled to great
credit for their coolness and judgment dis
played in the detachment when surrounded
by largely superior forces of the enemy
The Sioux Underestimated.
One of the greatest mistakes in the cam
paign is the under estimate of the number of
Sioux and their disposition to fight. Gen.
Miles suys he is satisfied nearly all of the
fighting men from Standing Rock are out,
and lie stopped there long enough to look
the ground over; and the agent at Lower
Brule adds that his Indians are ail out, and
also those from Cheyenne agency, not to
speak of Spotted Tail and Red Cloud, who
arc certainly with them. Tlio hostile bands
have been largely reinforced since the battle.
Gen. Miles gives the key to the recent re
moval of women and children and friendly
disposed Indians of Standing Rock agency to
the cust side of the river; the hostilcs had
notified them they intended to raid the
agency unless all joined them, and believing
they would do it, they have removed to the
other side of the river for protection. A
Sioux scout in the employ of the Govern
ment at Fort Rice, after the recent battle,
said he always knew the Sioux outnumbered
the whites, and that he believed they would
conquer in the end. The idea prevails to a
great extent among the young warriors who
go into the campaign better armed than the
whites, witli a knowledge of every ravine in
the country, and almost every tree from be
hind which an Indian can shoot a cavalry
man, nnd they are confident that they will
win. Well informed river and frontiersmen
insist that the Indians have an effective force
of at least 10,000 well armed and abundantly
supplied.
Administration Aid to Carry tlte Louis
iana Klfctlou.
WASHINGTON, July 24.—General T. Morris
Chester, a leading colored Republican politi
cian of Louisiana, called on llie President
this morning and received from him assur
ances that the administration will furnish all
necessary aid to Packard and the Republican
managers of Louisiana to carry the State next
November. The President is reported as
having' said: "We shall carry Louisiana.
We don't want to curry only three of the
Southern States—the other two are North
and South Carolina." The President also
sent a message to Packurd lequesting hiin to
select u good man for his successor in the
marshal's office, and assuriug him thut means
for making a most vigorous campaign in the

Advices from Gen. Crook,
CHKYENNL, July 26.—Advices front Gen.
Crook's command in camp on the south fork
of Tongue liver, July 23d, arc of much iut
portance. The main body of the Sioux sre
believed to have taken to the Rig Horn ntoun
tains, where game is more abundant and
grass fresher. The Indiuu efforts to burn the
grass of the valley makes it almost iutpara
live on Crook to fallow them up at once. His
force now musters about twelve hundred
regular soldiers and volunteers, besides the
two hundred Snake allies, and he feels that
he can at least hold his on any ground the
enemy may select. It is expected that the
wagons will be packed on Main Tongue riv
er, near the mountains, and with the pack
train loaded with from 15 to 20 days' rations,
