New York, Aug. 12. The Times'
Washington special says: During the
day Mrs. Garfield read tho President
some private letters, received from per
sonal friends, and subsequently read,
at his request, from leading newspa
pers. The surgeons report that there will
be a lower pulse and temperature to
morrow, and after the present week
they are of the opinion that rapid pro
gress will be made toward convales
cence. There are apprehensions ex
pressed by certain newspaper surgeons
about the presence of the assassin's
bullet, not shared by any of the sur
geons attending the President; nor
does it give the President so much anx
iety as is appeared to cause the outside
surgeons, who have never seen the
patient. They are daily clamoring for
the bullet to be taken out, regardless
of consequences.

Lexington, Ky., Aug. 12. Governor
Blackburn believes the President's
wound will prove mortal without a
doubt. He discusses the wound from a
medical standpoint, and says nothing
but injury to the great nerve of
the spinal column could produce the
pains he had in his feet, lie believes
they are getting him to sign his name
only for the purpose of calling Con
gress together when he dies.
Dendwooil o(Ci,
Deadwood, I). T Aug. 12. The
excitement of the carbonate discoveries
nine miles from here continues. A new
town has sprung up, called West Vir
ginia, which is now represented in all
branches of trade and support a daily
newspaper.
The Grand Jury to-day accused tho
County Commissioners of malfeasance
and demanded their removal from of
fice. Agent Lcmard, just in from Rosebud,
reports that Spotted Tail was on his
win (m V ndiinrrtnn wlirm miiri1frril
He'wtis in an aniuulanee, accompanied
by several other chiefs, when Crow Dog
rode up, and placing a revolver against
his breast, shot him dead. Crow Dog
immediately tied to Fort Niobrara for
protection. 'Crow Dog is not a chief,
but is ambitious to become one, and for
a long time has been engaged in pro
moting discord among the Indians.
Spotted tail was permitted to visit the
ollicers at the agency at pleasure, but
other chiefs were not accorded this
privilege, except when a general coun
cil was held. This caused jealosy and
on the 4th of July, Crow Dog called a
council of his friends to test the feel
ings of the Indians. Crow Dog made a
speech and pointed out favors which
were shown Spotted Tail by the gov
ernment, which ought to be shown all
Indians alike, find that if he weve-iutul
chief, things would be different. Stand
ingJElk spilue for peace and harmony and
was followed by Spotted Tail, who hap
pened along. Spotted Tail denounced
Crow Dog as a snake-in-the-grass, and
called on him to come out like a man.
Bearing his breast he called on Crow
Dog to empty his revolver in his heart
and called him a squaw and a coward.
Crow Dog responded that he was not
ready to do that, but would do it when
least expected. Spotted Tail's three
sons tried unsuccessfully to get the old
man home, and guarded him with their
rifles. Spotted Fail was not in the hab
it of carrying firearms, and was unarm
ed when murdered. He was 53 years of
age. A Deputy Marshal leaves here to
morrow to arrest Crow Dog.
Inq.ieHt on I.intlfi'iii. ill's It !'.
St. Louis, Aug. 12. The inquest was
held this afternoon on the body of W.
E. Linderman, who was killed on the
street, at the electric light, near the La
clede Hotel, Tuesday. There is no
certainty vet as to the murder, though
Charles Wolf, policeman, who was
with him when he was killed, has been
arrested and has contradicted himself
twice. He now says the man suddenly
appeared at the corner of the street
who tired the fatal pistol shot after a
few words of quarrel. The general
feeling is that Wolf knows more than
he will tell and several persons knew
enough to contradict him on some parts
of his narrative.

GLADSTONE ILL.

EARNELL'S OPINION.
London, Aug. 12. Parnell, writing to
the editor of the United Ireland with
respect to the land league says: "I am
much pleased to learn you intend to
make the developments of the interior
resources of the country and the en
couragement of manufactures a leading
feature in your paper. I think the time
is fast approaching when we might do
much to assist the reestablishment of
Irish manufactures by encouraging our
people to use home made instead of
English made goods. I am disposed to
believe in regard to articles not at pres
ent made to any extent at home that we
might use products of American facto
ries. This would tend to actas an indi
rect protection to Irish manufactures,
as it would encourage the organization
of works for the purpose of manufac
turing such articles at home. The or
ganization which the' land movement
has fostered would be very important
in assisting such a movement."
MUTINOUS RUMORS.
London, Aug. 12. The Alexandria
correspondent says: There is consid
erable anxiety regarding the attitude of
tin; army. Them are rumors of mutl
nous disorders, but the Government re
fuses to give any information on the
subject. A change of ministry is be
lieved to be imminent.
LANDLORD AND TENANT.
London, Aug. 12. On the vote in the
Commons last night O' Connolly report
ed on Lord Cairn's amendment, con
cerning the unfair and unrcasogable
leases, was on Lord Lnnsdown's amend
ment to omit the proviso that tit the ex
piration of the existing leases, shall
be tenants , at present on ordinary
yearly tenancies at rents, and subject
their leases. After the vote this
amendment was rejected by law. The
Attorney General for Ireland proposed
to amend the words thus restored by
giving the power of resumption in the
case of reversionary lease and when the
landlord desires bona tide, to occupy,
holding that the first amendment was
accepted. But Parnell, Ilealy and oth-
erg warmly opposed the second, Healy
remarking that the resumption by the
landlord would be regarded, as an evic
tion. Healy proceeded to speak of the
dirty work of the Lords and described
them as hereditary enemies to the Irish
people, when the speaker called him to
order. After a warm discussion on the
laws the amendment was assented to by
a vote of 285 to 56.
One clause of the 23d section, which
defines the number of tenants compe
tent to pnrchasa an estate an amend
ment was prepared Ijy Gladstone and
agreed to, according to which, under
certain circumstances, half the tenants
may be competent. A number of ob
structions to the motion were reported,
because they proposed to add Parnell' s
restored amendment, relative to the
proceedings in action for rent, a pro
viso that the court must be satisfied that
the judicial rent will be fixed within a
reasonable period, not exceeding three
months. The laws in the proviso car
ried by a vote of 210 to 34. Various
members moved that the amendments
were given a further extension period
for fixing the rents, Parnell declaring
the Government was attempting to car
ry out the views of the Lords in an un
d'erhand manner.

LAND BILL.
London, Aug. 12. The Land Bill, as
amended in the Commons, came up for
consideration to-day in tho House of
Lords. In clause one, on Duke Ar
gyle's amendment, excluding from the
right of free sale tenancies on which
permanent improvements have been
made by the landlord, a trifling modi
fication was made to the provision.
New York NiiiaMiicea.
New York, Aug. 12. The Times
finds more deplorable matter for polit
ical criticism at its own doors than the
condition of civil service in San Fran
cisco, according to the following from
to-day's editorial: The Governor's
proclamation, concerning the suppres
sion of nuisances at Hunter's Point, is
very much like Pope's bull against the
comet. The proclamation was issued
April 22tl, and the manufacturers of
these corporations can do it. The
Times shows that the Brooklyn Board
of Health and the district attorney of
Kings county are directly amenable to
this charge, members of the former
having actually lobbied against the
passage of a law under which the Gov
ernor s proclamation was issued. When
the Times reporter visited the district
attorney's office he found all authorities
within reach disposed to treat the whole
matter as a subject for merriment antl
ridicule. All the. officials of Kings
county, whenever their , services were
required, have rushed to the defense of
the stench factories of nuisances re
ferred to, and were given until June to
close their factories. The middle of
August lias been reached, and the vile
odors continue to be generated. No
pen can fitly describe the filth and
abomination which defiles the air and
water along New Town creek. This
little sluggish stream is black as ink.
It reeks with indiscribable mistiness,
tne atmosphere being laden with sti
fling smells. The factories are owned
by rich corporations who defy the law
ami public opinion. If anybody can
bribe the officers of justice or corrupt
juries, and silence with cash the men
whose business it is to proceed against
them, the managers maintained it right
tinder the windows of a great city
whose air is poisoned by their emana
tions. The Mint Sqnnbhge.
San Francisco, Aug. 12. A Times
New York special says: Whatevermay
be said relative to the merits of the two
opposing parties in the San Francisco
mint quarrel, the investigation has
shown conclusively that this scandal
has grown out of gross abuse of the
parties of the civil service. In the First
place, Dodge, who was one of the com
mittee charged with the duty of inves
tigation of the methods and accounts
of his immediate predecessors office,
should not have been appointed to fill
the place which was made vacant on
account of the investigation, in which
he had participated. In the next place,
if F. F. Low, the banker who is alledg
ed to have been favored by Dodge in
his designs with the mint, had not also
been a member of a former investiga
ting commitee, his present condition as
a customer of the mint would be a far
better one in the public estimation. In
the third place, Page, who is Dodge's
accuser, sought Dodge's removal on
the ground that he, (Dodge,) had op
posed his (Page's.) re-election to Con
gress. And finally Dodge admits that
after he had quarrelled with Page over
the gentleman's attempt to the ftilliill
ment with the appointees of his own,
he did retaliate by trying to defeat
Page's renomination. Viewed from a
standpoint of even partially reformed
civil 8ervice,.this whole affair may be
described as deplorable.

To AftanasinMe Washington
An attempt made to assinate (Jen.
Washington in this city in 1770 is im
perfectly described as follows by James
Thacher, a Massachusetts surgeon in
the Continental army, in "A Military
itary Journal during the American
Revolutionary War," under date of
Sept. 10, 1770:
"1 have omitted to record the follow
ing incidents till I could ascertain the
particulars of the reports: We learn
by accounts from New York that some
time since a plot of a most atrocious na
ture was detected in that city. A gang
of Tories had associated for the pur-
Í ose of joining the British army, and
i ad concerted a plan, it is said, to as
sassinate his Excellency Gen. Wash
ington, and some other officers; and
while our army were engaged with the
enemy to blow up our magazines, &e.
The Mayor of the city and an armorer
who was engaged in making rilles for
the Tories, and several others were tak
en into custody and committed to close
prison. The Mayor, on examination,
confessed that he received money from
Gov. Tyrou to pay the armorer for the
rifles. Two of his Excellency's guards
were confederates, and a third, to
whom the secret was confided, honestly
disclosed the 'information. Several of
these miscreants were tried and con
victed, and two or three were exe
cuted." A foot note of this account quotes as
follows from one if David It anisa v s
histories: "Gov. Tvron had suborned
the then Mayor of New York to assist,
the royal forces on their arrival in that
city, and Gen. Washington was to be
assassinated. This detestable de
sign was rendered abortive by
apprehending Thomas Hickey, one
of Gen. Washington's, life-guard
men, who was engaged in the conspi
racy,, and had engaged others; this
false miscreant was tried by a court
martial on the 28th of June, fund guil
ty, and was executed the same day,
amid the cursesof the American army."
