TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES. GENERAL NEWS. HOSTILES GOING NORTH. Deming, N. M., Sept. 13. A band of In dians crossed the railroadjseven miles east of here this morning, going north. It is not known whether they are Indian scouts, fol lowing renegades, or another band of hostiles which the troops h.ive run jut of Mexico, but they are generally believed to b. hos tiles, who are following the route of those who passed north last, week and did the killing gear Lake Valley. Fiom signal fires seen iu the mountains the hostiles evidently have sc. mts in advance, and find no trouble iu evading the troops and passing safely from one section of the country to tnotlier. New York, Sept. 12. The Times' leader declares that the independents will not fol low the lead of Hoar and Sherman. "Nom inations, which represent nothing better nor worse than Hoar's ide.is of republicanism, coupled with tle platform utterances such as a republican convention inspired and managed by that pre-Adamite geutleman will be very apt to adopt, would drive thousands of Massachusetts independents to the support of any respectable democratic ticket. Democrats of that state manifest a disposition to make nominations which will acceptable and be worthy of independent support. Bat the republican party iu New York is not iu the bauds of Hoar. It is fortunate iu having leaders who, it not exactly blameless according to the indepeudeut stan dard, are yet not fossils. The New York independents can await with unconcern the work of the two conventions. We say the two because as there is uutuing certain in politics it is possible tbr independent.', or many of them, will not decide upon their course iu the campaign until they have in spected the democratic ticket. THE SILVEK QUESTION. New York, Sept. 12. The Sun says: An ither important phase of Treasurer Jor dan's effort to circulate standard silver dol lars and subsidiary coin has been developed. It was iearued yesterday that the supply ot legal tender notes held by banks of this city has beeu decreased in the last two weeks nearly nine million dollars. This ex traordinary decrease occasioned inueb. com ment amongst the presidents of banks rep resented in the clearing house association. The comment is not favorable to Jordan's constructiou of the clause iu the silver bill providing for the issue of silver certificates deposited in lieu of standard silver dollars. A bank president said last night that Jordan's construction of the clause, while undoubtedly within the law, nevertheless is decidedly too rigid at this season of the year, when the cotton and other crops have to be moved by money supplied by New York banks. "The big banks in this city," continued the bank president, "are now sending soutli every week everywhere from a quarter to a half a million apiece, in five, ten, twenty and fifty dollar bills. We are compelled to dp it because we haven't silver dollars to deposit with the sub treasury in order to get silver certificates. We will not handle silver dollars. We will no! even take ad vantage of the law which gives us the right to make them a part of our reserve. Last year Gen. Spinner's construction of the clause gave u; $23,000,000 iu silver certifi cates in lieu of deposits of gold. Of course that was an evasion of the law, but it tided ds over aud assisted southern merchants and everything was serene. Now we haven't any silver certificates, our supply of small bills are daily growing less and less aud if something is not done we shall have to fall back upon our gold supply. Of course we could send them silver dollars, but southern merchants will not stand the expense of handling silver. Why, I know of bask presidents chasing around in cabs, scouring the city for small bills for southern customers. The sub-treasury cannot sup ply us aud we are in a pretty fix, all because of Jordan's interpretation of the clause re lating to the issue of silver certificates." A movement is on foot by which the effect of Jordan's order will be annulled. Certain bank presideuts suggest that it would be possible to deposit gold treasure with the sub-treasury and receive iu return standard dollars, and the next day return the silver dollars and get silver certificates The gold would remain here, the silver cer tificates would be returned in time and the force of Jordan's construction would be broken. MM immii Kom Ka.-ma'iC'itv, Mo., Mept. 13.-Tin; Times Little lick ecil riy; Cattlemen arc ra pidly removing their stock from the Crow reservation, in accordance with the order of Indian Agent Ai mstrong Several owners of herds were slow to obey, but Armstrong informed them that he would call on the president and have them forcibly ejected by troops, and Hie exodus became general. Several thousand head of cattle have been driven out, and by the loth it is believed the resetvation will be cleared. THE MOLLIE MAGUIRES REORG AKIZING. Shamokik, Pa., Sept. 12. Mollie. Magui rcism is again rampant in the upper and lower Luzerne districts. Nine murders have recently occurred in the northern coal fields, and mines are frequently fired. The murderers and fire bugs go free, anil the coal and iron police seem powerless to afford protection to life and property. "Moon light" rifle companies are drilling unmolest ed, and the association of miners aud lobor ers is daily growing by hundreds. It is well known here that the Mollie Maguire brotherhood has been quitely organizing since last April, and a general outbreak is confidenly looked lor before November. Detectives are watching for the approach of socialist Gormen of Chicago, who intends to organize a revolt among the mines. Fam iliar "coffin notices" have been received by a number of law and order societies. WASHINGTON NEWS. AN IMi'ROBAHLE RUMOR. Washington, Sept. 14. Among political rumors in circulation here is one that Blaiue desires to receive the republican nomination for governor of Maine this fall, and that he already has put the political machine in that state in opperation to attain his end. Blain's principal object iu being a :anli late is to keep in the political field, aud to prove he can carry his own state. INCREASE OF CHINESE LAUNDRIES. Washington, Sept. 14. It is probable that some action will be taken by the Kuights of Labor soon iu regard to the ra pidly increasing numberofjChinesc laundries which have started here in the past year. T:iere are about sixty (Chinese laundries now iu this city, thirty having beeu added in the past twelve months. Labor organizations have been appealed to to do something to prevent the increase of these establishments. They v. ill probably issue an address to the public asking that laundry work be giveu to steam laundries, noiie of which euipioy Chinese lal)or. Nine-tenth of the family laundry business iu this city is done by colored women. They are feelingjthe effects of the influx of Chinese very much at pre sent. Chinese laundrymen secure more than one half of the transient lauudry work. THE SILV KR QUESTION. Washington, Sept. 14. It is said by treasury officials that there is no hope for the repeal of the Blaud silver bill and that it is doubtful whether any legislation modi fying the act can be got through congress. The subject has become of such importance that it may be made an issue in the choice of speaker, for the composition of committee on coinage, weights ami measures would, iu i great measure, facilitate or defeat action by the house. Of 184 democrats elected to the next congress 108 are from the southern states and 76 from northern states, and o the southern democrats 64 were members of the forty-eighth congress and 44 are nsw members. Of the northern members 45 are old and 31 new members. Iu caucus the southern members have fifteen more than a majority. The proposition from the appro priation committee at the last session of congress to suspend the coinage of silver was defeated, yeas 113, nays 152, not voting 54. Of;the 152, 75 were southern demo crats, 48 northern democrats and 29 repub licans. Of those not voting 12 were south ern democrats, 16 northern democrats aud 26 republicans. Iu the next house the southern democrats have 12 more thau iu the last house, while the northern demo crats fall from 105 iu the last house to 76 in the next house. Calculation is made that the advoca .es of silver coinage in the next house will number nearly 200 mem bers. A majority of the house is 163 mem bers. PACIFIC COAST. SAN FRANCISCO POLITICIANS EXCITED. San francisco, Sept. 13. Politicans are all astir investigating a rumor that Ex-Governor Johnson had been appointed to the collectorship of the port. The fact that Mr Johnson had finally contradicted the rumor, and that Cot John P. Irish had expressed his belief that "there was nothing in it" did uot entirely allay suspicion that the report may have had some foundation iu fact The stir occasioned by the rumor showed how timid politicians are at present, and how mightily the shadow of Judge Field oppresses them with deep meditation when it appears to fall in the direction of any fat federal office. Judge Field having gone E.ist, the rumor that Mr. Johnson had beeu preferred above all other aspiring partisaus ofe very shade of democracy, came as a re minder thatthe eminent jurist, while absent. was still amid the California democracy in spirit at least. COWARDLY OUTRAGES AT SALT LAKE. Salt lake, Sept. 13. This morning at 1 o'clock some parties, evidently Mormon ro ve igers, threw two two-quart jars full of privy vault filth, mixed with sand, through the window of the parlor of United States Commissioner McKay, who has heard most of the unlawiul cohabitation cases. One burst, spattering the floor and furni ture, and ruiuing the room. Two were al so thrown at the window of United States Attorney Dickson, aimed at the bed where he slept, but struck outside the window cas ing, bursting over the outside walls. Two were throwu in the house of Assistant Attor ney Variau, where his wife was alone with a sick child, doing much damage. There is no clue. Much iudignatiou is expressed, aud it is claimed it was a precoucerted movement. THE OREGON AND CALIFORNIA ROAD. Redding, Sept. 13.--Yesterday three car loads of Chinese passed Delta to work ou the extension of the Oregon and California. l'here is great activity at the front, and the indication is that there will be rapid construction. "Oregon on Wheels-" The Oskaloosa (Iowa) Herald of the 3rd inst., contains a long article on Oregon's exhibit car. We give below a portion of the same: Our readers arc aware that a car of Ore gon products was promised as among the fine aud entertaining sights to be seen at the County Fair. That promise has been fulfilled, for on Saturday eveniug the car came in on the Bock Islanl. Commissioner Allen of the Oregon Board of Immigration is in charge of the car aud is very assiduous iu giving all information that can possibly be lesired. What is it composed of ? That is a hard thing to answer. Very many kinds of wheat, oats, rye anil barley, of a quality never surpassed before; plums, prunes, ap ples, nectarines, and e erything of that sort in endless variety, and in size and quality; vegetables that will satisfy all that there was no mistake made by the Iowa editors when they came home and spoke of the many wonderful things that were seen by them in roaming from one end of Oregon to the other. The contents of that car stand as an undisputed fact that at least for once the Iowa editor did not enlarge upon the actual fact if he even did only fair justice to the products Oregon has. Iowa fears no rival. It extends to this splendid specimen of Oregon enterprise a cordial welcome. It comes from a great State, v. ith a great hearted people making its valleys teem with the evidences of civilization. It wants Iowa farmers and Iowa people and it pre sents these pro lucts as the reward that has awaited the industry of the husbandman, laboring where the seasons are certain anil where nature in all her elements is kindly and well behaved. "The products that fill this car," said Commissioner Allen, "are simply the avenge products of our State. So far as the fruit is concerned, much of it was purchased in the open market and not specially selected for exhibition purposes. As for the most of the grain nearly all of the leading varieties here shown could be duplicated on many farms, equal in every respect, and iu many exhibits, far superior. What we want to do is to make plaiu to you that Oregon is something of a State even compared with Iowa; that our products, in many respects, cannot be matched by any of these interior western states, great as they are in produc tive capacity. Of course we do not try to compete with you ou corn. In that we can do something, but here is pre-eminently the corn section of the world. Until recently Oregon has only been reached by a round about way thro' Fisco. Now, however, the Union Pacific aud Oregon Short Liue give quick transit to Portland, aud into our great valleys. It is there where we want Iowa farmers to come and break up some of the large forms, by purchase. Our people know how to extend a hearty welcome to all worthy people seeking homes, aud this car is the big missionary to do the pentecostal work of conversion if the people can only see it. Yon see with the richness of all products we also have a climate that I can didly believe canuot be matched anywhere in this uuion. A mild climate, it strikes me, would suit thousands of good people better than the fearful rigors that I have ex perienced in Iowa, for, you see, 1 was for many years a resident of Iowa, and think much of it. In Oregon, at Portland, I have never seen it colder than seven degrees above zero, and that but once and for about two hours in one day. Our summers are equable, nights always cool, aud life iu a general sense always enjoyable. Do we fertilize our land? No! Here is some wheat which is the forty second consecutive crop grown on the same land, and the last crop was 45 busnel per acre. You have heard it said that we could not grow timo thy. How do those specimens strike you, for a land that could not grow them? We have thirty different varieties of wild aud tame grasses here, which is probably as many as this section could show. There are twenty-three different varieties of wheat, thirteen of oats, four of rye, six of barley and as to the fruit you can see it. Where do we go? From here to the State Fair of Iowa, Illinois, Michigan aud theuce to Louisville and New Orleans, expecting to be out uutil spring, or the end of the New Orleans exposition. "Seeing is believing," you know, anil we hope to corroborate even the statements made by the most enthu siastic real estate agent. I have received many kindnesses here, aud your officers of the fair could not have been more accommo dating and courteous." PRODUCE PRICE CURRENT.
