Neither is Collector Arthur at New

Secretary Schurz is represented as
giving boisterous support to the Presi
dent's order forbidding office-holders
from active participation in politics.
Hisfellow secretaries think he is over
zealous in not confining his efforts to
his own department. In fact, Schurz
is becoming meddlesome. - v
7 , There are loose statements that the
President,' some time ago, tendered
the Haytien mission to Professor
Langston, and that yesterday Lang
ston had accepted the place. He may
be too late, as it is understood that
recently Hayti bias indicated, with
great diplomatic delicacy, a preference
for a white nian as minister from the
United States. '
No active steps have yet been taken
by the Attorney-General in regard to

his reply as soon as possible. As soon
as the response shall be received from
Marshal Purnell, the Attorney-General
will take the papers and examine care
fully all of the circumstances in the
case. "' '
North Carolina affairs 1 are red hot.
Marshal Douglass has ' filed his final
answer to the charges filed against his

John Nichols, late superintendent of
the Deaf and ' Dumb Asylum at Ral

There is' also another movement on
foot to remove collector Powers of the
second district,whose place the ex-color

Hayes said to a Kansas politician
that no political service can be render

This Well Known and Leading Hotel,
LOCATED IN CENTRE OP THE CITY, OFFERS
Washikqton, July 13. The
was received at the War Department
this morning :
"San Francisco, Cal., July 12.
"To the Secretary of War, Washington:
"The following dated Lewiston,
July 11th, has iust been received, hav
ing been forwarded from Portland to
day: " 'In the absence of General Howard,
who is beyond my reach, I tbink that
General McDowell should be informed
that I have reliable information that
Joseph's band has lately ! received con
siderable! accessories! and! it is' feared
that many other reservation Indians
will join him . I would suggest that
two hundred Washington Territory
or Oregon troops be called for imme
diately, to prevent this, and the dam
age that may follow during the absence
of tbe troops, until they can be re
traced by regular troops. (Signed.) .
' Sculley.'"
"Colonel Scully, who sends this dis
patch, is an old officer of much service
in Indian warfare, and in tbet Depart
ment of the District of Columbia, and
I do not feel at liberty to disregard his
appeal. In eome way, unaccountable to
me, the second infantry, ordered here
a week ago, has not yet started. I
send to-morrow every man that I have
been able to scrape together this side" of
Arizona; and altogether, tha four skcle
ton companies do not amount to a
hundred men. Sir,under these ciream
stances, V approve; the suggestion to
call out,4 for a limited time, two hun
dred volunteers from Oregon or
Washing! on Territory.- (Signed.)' -..p
McDowell, Maj.-Gen.", ;
- As soon as the above . dispatch was
proceedea to tne
! London, July 13. The Times' Vien
na correspondent denies that there
will be a meeting between the Emper
ors of Germany and Austria this year,
and confirms the report that no con
vention has been; concluded between
Servia and Boumania. He says that
Strvia hesitates until the Roumanian
army has been established on the Turk
ish side of the Danube, It is not pro
bable that that this hesitation on tjhe
part of Servia will restrain the Prince
of Boumania. '
, The present moment is thought fa
vorable for crossing the Danube, as it is
supposed at Roumanian headquarters
that a portion of the garrison1; at Wid
din, has been sent to' Nikopolis, and
is kept in check there by the Russian
column; detached against that town.
The Russians claim to have driven
off the Turks who were operating
against Bazail in Asia. The Turks are
bombarding Sanperopolin the Crimea,
All is quiet along the Danube. The
Russians are sinking stone laden ves
sels at the mouths , of the Danube, in
spite of the remonstrance of the inter
national commission.
. The combined or effective separate
aid from Servia and Roumania is re
mote, and does not seem desired by
the Russians. . '
The Times' special dispatch from
Kara, July 8th, says : "Yesterday,
Mukhtar Pasha with eighteen field and
six mountain guns, five hundred regu
lar and thirty-five hundred irregular
cavairy, ana tnirty natuuions 01 in
fantry, advanced from Kirkbunar to
Waherankale, eigbt miles south of
Kara, and this m orning Mukhtar Pasba
come in leaving his forces entrenched
at Waherankale. Sir Arnold Kimball,
a British military attache, also came in
and went over tbe batteries, on Kar
digh redoubt, the most eastern position
wnere the bombardment baa been
Heaviest. 1 esteraay mere was a very
heavy bring on both sides 01 the Rus
sian headquarters at Zaim, eight miles
to the northeast, but their batteries are
advanced to within four thousand yards
east. Ihe lurkisn loss during the
siege has been trifling. That of the
Russians is unknown. Their fire was
most accurate, and for some days has
been overwhelming. Over 20,000 shells
from fifteen or eighteen centc metre
guns were thrown into that place in
one day.
Mukhtar Pasha proposes to entrench
himself and revictu&l Kara for the win
ter. At present it is well supplied with
stores of ammunition, and prices are
eneaper tnan in jrzeroum. Tbe ap
pearance of the troops is excellent and
their health good. They are most en
thusiastic, and the officers seem well
educated. The place is almost impreg
nable.
Bucharest, July 13. The Russian
advanced detachments have reached
Gabrava, near the boundary of Bul
garia. It is declared here that although
the investment of Kars is interrupted,
the siege has not been abandoned.
Constantinople. Jnlv 13. Manv
Mussulmans with their wives and child
ren, fleeing before the Russians, have
been killed by the Bulgarians in the
Kbanbogaz defile, between Turnova
and Kezovilik.
St Petersbukg, July 13. The Rus
sian telegraphic agency says : Prince
Bismarck has declared it to be his opin
ion that any mediation is at present
impossible. - - '
