"WAuaixarox. Angust 2t. The esnbsssy which John J. Wright, Bishop hippie ad Charles M. Lara bee, of the Indian See, are members, and whijch will start in a few dar to negotiate new treaties with northern Indian tribes, i of first class im portauco.
They will first try to satiify the Indian of the White Earth and Leech Lake reservation in 'Minnesota for the aid ape to their land by the fiowsge of the" govera Swat reservoirs at the bead of the Missis wi i aippi. sjiukw coiiirotri7 receive their attention. They will the visit the Fort BarllioJ reer ration, on the Mis i Man, 111 uasvoia, sua me great. "'e'" reservation, in northern Montana, to negotiates surrender of a portion of the land. In the latter caw a fdw thousand Piegans, Rlaokfeet and Croe Ventres occupy a reser Tation at large as Massachusetts or larger, between the Missouri river and the British line.
The tribe are the most backward of ray in the I'nited State, and hare to le supported almost entirely by the government, as the periodic north and south movement 4" the baflalo has been entirely broken up1 ht the transcontinental railroad, and belts of settlements, and the buffalo nearly exterminated. These tribe can do nothing with so st an allotment of land. and need a more limited range and some agricultural lands. They will probably object, Isowever, to utter removal, as they have occupied that country ever since I bey were iound there by Lewis and Clark, and the Indian, love of locality is strong. Jo a state ot nature they followed the but ifalo, a be migrated from: the; to rslley sud plains snd back again, and their best chance itrciitiooa in civinr.s tioil Is probably in connection with cattle raising.
It is no, definitely stated whether the aatue commiskioa will visit the Crows, whose reservation occupies southern Montana from the Northern Pacifie railiocd and tho Yellowstone south to the Wyoming line. The i railroad runs along its northern border for it wo hundred utiles, anil the whole tract is 'lu urlya large as Massachusetts, or two aqnartjalles apiece for every Indian in it. This land Is suitable agriculture, es jjn im i nil i.uuu. making slow progress in civilization, and re thoroughly laud poor. The commission will proceed still farther westward to Jdaho' and Washington territories and try to persuade the Spokane and Ten d'Oreilles to goon the Jocko reservation of the Flathead in Montana.
Theie re not large tribe. The Pinthcads occupy sv pcrndnisic of mountains, rushing rivers and rich' mesdows. and are good lar tint, with the old fa.shionedtepee standing hi tho yard. They will not want to share their portion with less advanced Indians. Thus this coniniission (fwi on a very delicate and liiflicult regarded from their standpoint of the welfare of the Indian.
ml i.nr nn knnnr. Ttipv nri rhnriretf to make no arrangements without the fiilf swnsent of the tribes concerned. Hut this means a consent of a majority, and Indian are as liable to differ" anion themselves as ay other people. No tgreement. will be biadiog until they have been accepted by ngrasai, but it is a luelunciioly fact that this allocation dors not alwuv secure the full arryitig out of the stipulations by nulso qiieat cwugressea The commission' labors wdl be tallowed with, into rest by the railroad and cat tie investors and those watching tfor the opening oi new land to settlement, i Powell's New Slap.
It will be surprising, perhaps, to the pub Jle to know that, after sending in surveys, that there is no actual nyp in tcsistence of tho United States. The coast survey and the hydrographio office bave prepared a reasonably accurate map ot our oast line, but the internal sarveys bare 'been so inaccurate and imperfect that rivers, noun tains and towns have in many cases been located on previous maps as much as live miles out of their true position. Thiss, of course, especially true of those points remote from railroads, wttiicu have, of course, been less accurate. 'The new map, bor in preparation by Colonel Powell, would occupy the floor space of a room in an ordinary dwelling "bouse, and will be absolutely accurate within the limit of the ccale of feet upon which it has been prepared. Jt will take about a year to complete has, and when done it will be the only accurate map of the United States in existence.
The astronomers have long claimed to hare prepared a more accurate map of the cioon at a distance of miles than has yet been made ot the state of New York, from surreys made upon the ground. These naps, however, bave been made by mean of photography, and hence are more accurate In. their outline than could bave been obtained by hasty trianguiations. Major lo clli's map, however, will be as accurate a representation of the geographical location of toe mountains, rivers and tpwnsofonr own country as the astronomers have yet prepareu oi ina queen oi ino nigut. xie lias alio in preparation a dictionary of 'altitude.

Itynnm'a Letter Announcing His Intention to Uo Into the Convention Who "Will Oppose Him? At the meeting of Congressman Bynum confidential advisers afternoon resolutions were adopted requesting him to permit bis name to go before the convention of September 4 as a candidate tor the nomination for congress. The resolutions recognize that Mr. Bynnra was fairly nominated at the convention of May 27; denounce the action of the state central committee as an usurpation, and yet recognize that this taction wijl unquestionably be considered by tne masscfc as binding ttpon tnem. The advisers thiak that it would be no sacrifice of manhood Tor Mr. Bynum "to bow to even what be ft els is a wrong for tbe cake of having the success of the party." There was opposition to the recommendation of this course of action, but the great majority were favorable to it.
The meeting further decided that the Tomlinson hail rati lication meeting should be held on Saturday night next, and Messrs. J. J. Cooper, Jac.kson,; Landers, Adolph Seidenstieker. Wm.
Henderson, hj P. Har lon, B. ClillorJ, Daniel Lemon, Hiram Miller nnd George W. Bunting wererappointed a committee on arrangements. Mr.
Bynum has received numerous letters from politicians oi prominence from ail parts of the state, conimeuding bis course and sympathizing with his followers in the late disastrous round with the central committee. "Stand says one friend. "Sorry you fell iuto the trap old Jo set for you." Another writes to say "that the democrats of his township fuliy indorse your letter in The Indianapolis News in reference to action of state coiuniife. Every democratic voter in this township support you. We would rather submit to defeat than to the wb bes of the element that is fighting you, aud we positively will not Tote for any other man." Still another writes: "Your does not require a submission to the action of the' committee." Another thinks ti)at "there are a few (heretofore) prominent men on that committee who made a grand mistake." This morning there was further consultation, and Mr.
Bynum finally yielded to the judgment of his advisers, and cousented that his name, might be presented again to the convention. It was also ordered that the meeting tor Saturday night be recalled, owing to the fact that justice to several ot his friends, whom he had promised his co operation, demanded his presence at Washington at that time.

Tha opposition are having considerable trouble iu centering upon a candidate who is willing to accept the uncertain task of attempting to run for courcss in this district, and oi all the sq far approached as available candidates, none of them are willing, unless it is somebody like Judge Good iiiir, of Hauco*ck, whom to nominate would be sure defeat. It has. been suggested that, in view of bis responsibility lor much of jthe present complication, Mr. McDonald should accept the nomination, fnnd it is believed that if he would consent to stand that be would think the times, wvri out of joint before he got through with it, A delegation is ako said to have' Waited upon O. B.
Hord, but be would not listen to the proposition, nnd there has been more or less eliort to induce Judge iurpie to vouie out, and this recalls how eagerly the democracy of this county turn to Turpie whenever they' have an unpleasant task on hand, and how readily they ignore him when it seems a walk away tor one of the gang. John A. Finch is also occasionally heard of, but so far none of the wildest suggestions hnve included the name of Mr. Liailev aud he seems to have dropped as far out ot sight as if he had never been considered a possible quantity. If any proof was needed to show that he has, been used us a cat's paw with which to rake chestnuts out of the Bynum fire, it apparently is at hand, and it practically verities the original Prediction that when a settlement was reached in this congressional muddle he would not even be among the dregs, so completely would he be swept away.
On the contrary, none of Mr. Bynum's former adjierents are heard discussing! the possibilities ot any otber candidate, and the contrast in this, respeet between the Bailey and Bynum following is a marked one. Both sides will strain every effort to capture the organization of the convention, and there is every probability the scenes of the former row will be duplicated in more ways than one. i A merchant of prominence, who is ardent in his attachment to the Bynum cause, tell of many things that are cium belli. "It is the determination of Bynum's enemies to defeat him at all hazards and it is even said that Mr.
McDonald has declared that Bynum should be ignored in the convention, if bis name is proposed and it is our determination to ran. him at any. cost. The democracy has passed into bad hands, and we may as well teach the Coys, Englishes and Frenzels a lesson, now as any time; for they must learn that there are decent democrats wbo don't propose to be used by a saloon keeper for personal ends. Sim Coy is chairman of the county committee and is practically the committee; the stats committee is a weak body, and has allowed itself to be worked by Sim.
so that he now is running the The county ticket is lost already; the state is very uncertain, and now in this off year, when there is little more to lose, we take it to be. a good time to read these bosses a lesson, eveii if it costs the state." The same informant i tells The' News that Mr. English has said that be tired of this whole business and now proposes to wash his hands of it. The By numites will decline to accept this declaration until authenticated, and continue to look upon Mr. English as allied with the common enemy.
Mr. Bynum thinks he recalls now studied slights and affronts which have been put upon him in Washington for a year by Senator McDonald, Lycurgus Dalton and others, and begins to trace a determination formed months airo to down him. Chairman Eb Henderson, ot the democratic state central committee, was asked today for the facts concerning that alleged secret meeting of the committee whereat Mr. Bynum was indorsed by a rote of 8 to i. "The facts are," said Mr.
Henderson, "that after tbe regular ineetinir, Mr. Buskirk and I weut out to take a lemonade. I'pon returning to the hotel we found, the members of the committee informally assembled as democrats, not as a state Tncy were discussing Bynunnand Bailey, but I advised that nothing Khoujlu be done unless tbe committeeman ot this district (McDonald) were present, and no vote was therefore Tho County.

The discrimination in rates against Indianapolis by the Southwestern Railway association deserves the immediate attention of Commissioner Midgeley. The commissioner has placed Chicago on an equality with St. Louis in the matter of rates to the territory of. his association, but Indianapolis shippers pay largely in excess of Chicago rates. The distance from Indianapolis to Kansas City is 51 7 miles only twenty nine miles more than the short liue distance between Chicago and Kansas City, and four miles less tne Chicago Kansas City distance, Via the Rock Island.
Indianapolis, besides paying a heavier tariff to the Missouri river points, also pay the onerous bridge toll at St. Louis, and the discrimination against Indianapolis is also a discrimination against every city of this state which reaches the southwestern association's territory by way of Indianapolis. All who are interested in the correction of this discrimination are invited to meet at the Board of Trade to morrow evening. i LOCAL PICKUPS.

If hair is true, as alleged, against John Kidd, he has developed qualities that show that he trenched very closely upon the confidence line in his financial transactions in this city.
His indebtedness estimated to be all the way from $20,000 to $32,000, and iu the majority of cases it falls upon persons ill able to lose it, several of. them being widow who depended upon their annuities for support, the handling of which he secured in such a way that while he was financially responsible, yet he could not be pursued in a criminal p'rosecntion. His female creditors hold claims ranging from a few dollars to several thousands, while he has mortgaged everything in sight, even including bis. household goods, and all of the family belougings that he could seize upon. It is also charged that he hypothecated his wife's jewelry, and there seems no question but he has been guilty of intemperance, frequently drinking to excess, and of evil associations, such as no man with his pretended standing could bave consistently kept dor oue moment.
The laundry be mortgaged to its full value, and, while Mrs. Kidd is conducting the business, with tbe hope ot saving something from the ruin, her task is a difficult one. it is oo longer a secret that tbe home on Col lege avenue had to be sacrificed ior his as well as every other yestigo of property which they possessed in couimoo. Kidd has now left the city, and various causes coming to the knowledge of Mrs. Kidd since his departure is impelling that lady to sue for divorce, and legal counsel has been taken to that end.

of brother of Henry Ward Bcecher and Rer. Thomas K. Beecher, of this city, committed suicide at the water euro here last evening by shooting himself through the head. He had been suffering under severe mental troubles Ior a number of years, and tor a time was under treatment at tbe Middletown asylum. He came here re cently ia he care of a special attendant.
At the cure he appeared to bo in pretty fcir health, and yesterday enjoyed himself with, others in shooting at a target. Daring tho evening, trhile conversing on the piazza, bo suddenly went to his room, and, taking a rifle, placed the muzzle to bis mouth and fired, kiljiug himself instantlr. Mr. Beecher was about fifty nine years old, and was the sou of Dr. Lyman Beecher.
lie was srraduatcd from Dartmouth coll ere and Andover seminary, lie. was chaplain of the Seamen's Bethel id China, chaplain of the Brooklyn regiment1 during the war of the rebellion, became a colonel, and was mustered out as a brevet brigadier general; was, pastor of the Congregational churches at Oswego and and also had charge of thej Bethel mhuion in Brooklyn. Of late years he has. lived on a larxu, ia Ulster. cbunty.
j' I fli Life Here. Rer. James C. Beecher killed himself yesterday evening at the water cure establishment in Elmira.lN. in a fit of mental depression and disturbance, it is said.
There are still living a gobdlmany residents of this city who knew "Jim" Beecher when he. then a boy fourteen or fifteen, lived hero With his half brother, Henry Ward Beefher, for a year or two. He was not a bad boy malicious, mischievous or mean but he waa as little amenable to school discipline as any boy the reminiscent, wbo was fur a time his" especial asaociate, ever knew. He indicated no unusual intellectual force in his classes, nor in the school ''composilious" or declamations he attempted. But.
for that matter, neither did his' famous brother in his school days. "Jim" was a lively, rattle brained, good oatured and that was aU. His fouduess for out door fun got hiin the worst i licking any boy ever, got in the "old seminary." It was early in the springof IS 12, possibly '4j. The bald headed reporter was the luck owner of an old ride nobody shot guns here forty lour, years ago which he used with some effect "on the wild ducks of that particular season, and happened to tell "Jim" Beecher ot one of bis late adventures iu which he had begged three ducks. It set the boy "all ou end" to goduek huuting, sad the next Saturday they went together, 'taking the b.
h. r's rifle. "Jim" had no gnu, and ho leave from his brother to use anybody, else's, but that made no difference to the. young Nimrod, a long as a gun could bo jcoine by; they hunted around Hie old "grave yard pond" and along tbe "hih bunks," and "Jim," aller sever! hit sv duck that was liomting otf dowu the rivr. That made a maniac of him.
He borrowed the riiicatfd went hunting the next morning and the day after, and seemed to forget the. school as completely as if it had been drowned in tbe deluge. But on Wednesday morning his "hookey" playing was discovered and Henry Ward brought him up to tho seminary, where the boys were playing; "shinny" holding him by tho arm as tho policeman does an offender nnd, briefly telling his crime to Mr. Kemper, suggested that be should get just such treatment as other boys got for the same offense a needless hiut to James S. Kemper.
A noon as prayers were over, the culprit was called up sud examined. He treated his nilense and tbe conrt with less than tho awful dread the boys all expected, aud hit rather defiant manner provoked Mr. whose temper was not as mild always, and he heard sentence pronounced in the order to pull his coat otf. He did and he bad another under it. He took that off aud he had a third under that, and two waistcoats followed.
1 hen he got a first class thrashing with a tough beech switch four or five feet long. But he' never flinched or whimpered, and be never played "hookey" again. In after rears, when he had beeeme a useful and laborious clergyman, be said that that whipping was about the most wholesome occurrence of hi boyhood. It taught him to come to the mark where rules were.enfbrced on tbe conduct of other boys in tbe same situation, and thus gave him a hint that if he was the son of the famous Lyman Beecher, and brother of the hardly less famous Henry Ward Beecher, he was entitled to no more consideration than other boys. After a residence here of a year, or more, he went bade to Yankee land.
lift never made any demonstration of sueh intellectual qualities as distinguish most of tbe.Beeehers, of whom Theodore Parker said here, in Masonic hall: "Lyman Beecher has and fathers more brains than any man in America." Rev. Thomas a lull brother of James both sons of the second wife has long been eminent for muclt tho same powers and religious eccentricities St, the famous pastor of Plymouth, but the second crop of the fnmily seems to have run out tho uuusual intellectual elements with Thomas. When a sohool boy here James was rather a conspicuously good looking lad, but bearing so little resemblance to bis brother that a stranger would never have suspected their kinship. He was generous. frank and manly, and made friends readily, all tho more that he "pnt on no over the distinction of his family.
If he ever did, It wasn't where the reporter saw it, He was fifty nine years oid, the dispstch reporting his death says, and was, then, fifteen or sixteen during his residence here. PERSONAL. VT. O. FUliback, of Terre Dante, was In the city to day.
