Washington, Aug. 10.
Postmaster Key thanks President
Garrett, of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, for his energy, promptness
and activity against the strikers. The
latest reports from the Rio Grande
border, are to the effect that the
United States troops are used very
vigorously to prevent hostile incur
sions by Lerdoists from Texas into
Mexico. Gen. Ord is also making
efforts to arrange border troubles by
securing the extradition of the Li pan
Indians. Negotiations looking to
this end are now in progress with
good prospects of success.
' Kemble sehurx.
Washington, August 9.
Secretary Schurz, having been
questioned to-day with reference to
Mr. Kcmbie's statement, published in
this morning's papers, said that Mr.
Kemble's statement is a confession
that the story of 11,500 having been
paid to him for repeating the same
spcecli three times, started by him
and disseminated by Gail Hamilton,
was a falsehood; that Mr. Kerable
had now reduced his own figures from
$5KLper"-day to $500 per. week in
1800 and 1868, a reduction of 600 per
cent.; that Mr. Kemble would have
to reduce his figures several hundred
per cent, more, and spread them over
the several weeks during which Mr.
Schurz had been active in Pennsyl
vania campaigns in 1860, about five
or six weeks, and he did not remem
ber how many in 1868; that he (Mr.
Schurz) had never denied having ao-
Antif n1 .nmnnnJotlAn in f rar irin ra I
when he was for months . engaged in
campaigning, simply because he was
obliged by his circumstances to do
so, but that the- whole matter had
been maliciously misiepresented.

In the House of Lords to-night the
Earl of Beacon afield, in acknowledg
ing Lord . Feversham's courtesy in
withdrawing his notice relative to the
Eastern question, said: "When this
U'uel and destructive war commenced,
her majesty's government announced
thajt it should adopt a policy of strict
neutrality on condition that the
British' interests were not imperilled.
Russia has returned an answer, which
I think I am authorized in describing
as conciliatory and friendly to the
communication in which we defined
what We considered to be pur inter

to doubt that Russia will honorably
observe the conditions which were
the subject of that correspondence.
But, whatever be the case, the main

Morning
Deaperate Aasadlt by One Colored
Woman Upon Another.
5 Last night, about .8 o'clock, a colored
woman by the name of Maggie Clarity,
living on rPrincess, between Tenth and
Eleventh streets, went to the house of an
other woman, where ehe had reason to be
lieve that she would find, her daughter,
who had left home contrary to her orders,
when: a most desperate and deadly assault
was made upon her by a colored girl by the
name of Mary Eliza Nixon, who is said to
be well known in police circles, in which a
hatchet and razor , were . used as weapons,
and in which the colored woman first
named received a severe cut in the fore-
head with the hatchet,, an ugly bruise on
the top of the head, a severe cut under one
of the ears with the razor and a cut on one
of the feet, which was caused by the hatchet
dropping upon it during the tneleer
The wound in the forehead or on the fron
tal bone was a very deep and ghastly one,
and the woman was almost literally covered
with blood when she reached the station
house, where she . was taken immediately
after the assault was made. : Dr. A. E.
Wright, the city physician,: and . Dr. J.
Francis King were called in, and dressed
the wounds of the sufferer, who is not
thought to be seriously injured. She de
clares, however, that if she had not caught
the handle ot the razor in her grasp and
held on to it, while her antagonist was
using it with such determined vigor, she
would have cut her throat ' She accuses a
colored man by the name of York Walters
of holding her while Mary Eliza Nixon
was . cutting her with the . hatchet and
razor, and that ho also attempted to pitch
her headlong down the stairs.
There seems to have been some misunder
standing between the two females previous
to the assault, and it was stated by some of
the women who were present in the guard
room that the Nixon girl had been trying to
get the daughter of the injured woman to
leave her mother and runaway with her.
At last accounts the alleged perpetrators
of the deadly assault had not been captured.
