MERCED , October 6. The oratioi
to General Grant which began in Sai
Francisco baa sent its echoes to thi
highest peak of the Sierras. Yosemit
has given its greeting in person
Mariposa , Bear Valley , Red Gulch
and every little mining or agriculture
hamlet of these mountains has em
blazoned welcome in flowers and ever
greens and shaken ' .he great Captaii
by the baud. Having run this gaunt
let of love and welcome , the Genera
is now returning to San JVancisa
fatigued but gratified. He left Yose
mite with his party on Sunday morn'
ing. He read the San Francisco pa <
pers on the porch of Bernard's before
leaving and was specially interested in
the news of the massacre by the Utes
in Colorado. Ho had known Thorn-
burgh and spoke of him kindly. To
some expressions of solicitude from
Mrs. Grant respecting the safety of a
Surgeon in the army who was a friend
of theirs , he replied , jocularly , that
the gentleman being a thousand miles
north of the scat of war , he might
possibly bo killed , but uot by those
Indians. To a gentleman who spoke
to him of
THE POLITICAL SITUATION
In New York , ho said he thought
Cornell was pretty surtfof being elect
ed. The prospects in Ohio were not
so certain , neither candidate for Gov
ernor of that State being strong with
the people. The stage left .Bernard's
Hotel , in Yosemite Valley , at 7 a. m. ,
George Monroe holding the ribbons ,
and the General and , Mrs. Grant on
the box. He has sat with the driver
on every stage coach since ho left the
railroad , and led on every trail he
has made it a matter of pride always
to be at the head of the column. The
inside of the stage was packed closely ,
the young ladies and Ulysses , Jr. , pre
ferring the front seats. As the stage
sped down the valley , it stopped to bid
good-by to friends at Black s Hotel
The morning was as quiet as the early
Sabbath in so remote a place could
well be. The east nail of the valley
was still in shadow , which extended
to the foot of El Captain and Eagle
Feck. The bight of Inspiration Point
achieved , whence
- , A SPLENDID VIEW
can be had , especially intha morning ,
the General and Mrs. Grant turned
and took a farewell of the scene , re
peating the terms of admiration used
on former occasions. 'Then the vis
ions faded , as the horses swept on
into the pine forests on the road to
Clark's Station. This commands many
fine views. There are noble outlooks
along the valley of the South Fork ,
and pleasant glimpses of jwnod interi
ors that would delight tourists were
not the more magnificent scenery of
Yosemite so near. All of these received -
' ceivod their share of attention. There
.were only two stoppages on the way
- one for a ten-minute picnic , and the
t other caused by the breaking of a
bolt , which was soon repaired. This
alight accident was the only one on
f the trip , there having before this been
only little annoyances from yellow-
jackets on the trails. The occurrence
entailed a change of General and Mrs.
Gran * , to a buggy , developing in the
General some of the old horse in
stinct , he taking the reins and driving
"heatlyinto the station over the few
milea of mountain road that remain-
, ad. The flags were floating on the
hotel , and its front still bore all the
.blazonry of welcome. After lunch ,
the party drove up the new road to
THE BIO TEEES ,
oUrting about 2 o'clock. There they
.west through the usual rou-
"tfme. The General was impressed by
the massive proportions of the Grizzly
Gnat. The coach stopped under
.Wah-wah-nah , and Miss Sharon took
Deep up through the big telescope.
t the little cabfn called Galen's
Hospice all the party alighted , and
both ladies and gentlemen walked
about on the prostrate form of Andy
Johnson , This tree fell'only a week
before Johnson's death. The Giants ,
General Grant , Ohio , Illinois and Ike
Cook were all very closely inspected.
While looking at the first the guide
told the General a story of Judge
Jackson , -of Georgia , who with a
, < -ftiend was visiting the grove , and who
were about taking their lunch in thor
r shadow of the tree which bears the
"name of the great Union General.
' "He called their attention to the fact
and they at once moved over and
finished their repast near a more con
genial spirit Andrew Johnson. The
General board the story , smiled one
of his alow , wise smiles , and said noth-
tag. He , in unison with the rest of
the company , expressed their
WONDEE AND ADMIRATION
at the sue cf the trees. After an
hoar pleasantly spent they turned
their faces towards the valley , reach
ing the hotel about dusk. It was the
hat night spent by the distinguished
visitor in the mountains. The party
.gathered about s bright , crackling
old-fashioned wood fire in the sitting-
room , talked for an nour or two in a
free and unreserved manner , and
then retired to gather strength for
the l"t day's staging. All were at
, the breakfast table the next morning
before the General and Mrs. Grant
de their appearance. It was a
little past 7 when all were ready and
oa'the road. A drive of 70 miles with
W. B. Doust , one of the best drivers on
the road , was in prospect , and the
road is a hard one. The route was
choMQ , at the earnest desire of the
'villages along the line , which wished
to do hoaor to the General. The
pretty little mountain village of Mari
posa had made great preparations.
An arch of evergreens had been erect
ed -icrosa the main street , and flags
were flying from the principal build
ings. The stage stopped under the
arch to be photographed , while the
Mariposa band , the same patriotic
musicians who entertained the Grant
party while in the valley , with their
pleasant music , played "Hail to the
Chief. " There was a handsome lunch ,
and hand-shaking with men , womei
and children at the Gallison House
At Hornitos the school just outsid
the village closed as the party cam
in , and the stage drove to the hotel
surrounded by a bevy of the boys am
girls running at full speed. Her
there were more bunting and decora
tions and another lunch at the hotel
of which all partook. The time madi
from Hornitos , which the stage left a
4 p. m. , to Mercedtwenty-four miles
was about the quickest over made
This village had made admirable pre
parations for the reception.
The stage reached the Six-mill
House at 6 o'clock. It was very dart
and rain was falling. Just after pass
ing it was met by the Merced band ir
a wagon handsomely ornamented
with Chinese lanterns. Passing or
from that point the western skj
seemed ablaze with
BONFIEE.SROCKETS AND EOSIAN CANDLES.
At the edge of the town the stage
was met by the Merced Fire Companj
in uniform , and escorted to the E !
Capitan Hotel through long files ol
citizens , who lined the street on eithei
side. The population of the town ie
15CO , but it is estimated that ovei
2000 people were in the streets , many
hundreds having come in front the ad
joining country. The greatest enthu
siasm was manifested. The air was
filled with exploding fire-works , and
the applause was deafening.
"HOW ARE YOU , OLD BOY ? "
GEN. M'DOWELL'S CORRECTION.
Chicago Inter-Ocean , Oct. II.
A reporter called upon Major Gen
eral Irwin McDowell , of San Francis
co , at the Grand Pacific Hotel yester-
iay , and asked him whether his visit
here had any political or oflicial sig
nificance. The General appeared very
tired , and , in a languid sort of way ,
said :
"No , sir. I am here as a private
citizen. I want to see my sisters , and
my cousins' , and my aunts in Chicago ,
irhom I've not seen in a long time.
[ have also some brothers , and uncles ,
ind nephews here that I am anxious
; o see. "
"Then the visit is entirely unoffi
cial J"
"Yes , sir. "
"How long do you intend to re-
mainl"
"I can't say. I know you want to
interview me , but I am as dry as I
can be pumped , and while I appreci-
ite your position and your mission ,
[ 'm afraid that I'll have to disappoint
you. "
"Perhaps you can tell me your ex-
> eriences at the recent Grant reception
n'Frisco ? "
"No , sir. I am sorry , but I can't.
The affair has been fully reported , so
hat you know as much as I do about
t In fact , you know more. The
dispatches gave an account of the
greeting between Gen. Grant and my-
ielf that was entirely erroneous. The
telegram stated the general approached
me , as I stepped on board the
Tokio , with hands outstretched , and
saying , "How areyouMac ? " towhich
I replied , "How are you , old boy ] "
Now , my friends know that I would
not treat him in such a discourteous
manner. I could not allow myself
any such familiarity. As far as the
reception is concerned , I know no
more than you. I performed my part
of it , and it is a thing of the past. "
Being questioned as to the Grant
"boom , " the General responded that
he was not a politician , and paid no
attention to politics.

The Third Bail Between Den
ver and Golden to be .Laid.
One of Jay Gould's Trades.
Dem er Tribune Oct. 11.
Some months ago Jay Gould ,
through a confidential friend , made
an ofl'er of twenty-five cents on the
dollar for the Colorado Central rail
road stock held by Jefferson and
Gilpin counties. Without waiting
for a veto of the people the Commis
sioners of Jefferson at once accepted
tha offer , received the § 25,000 in cash
and parted with $100,000 in railroad
stock. In Gilpin county the Commis
sioners declined to act without popu
lar consent Hence at Tuesday's elec
tion the people voted to sell or not to
sell , the sellers being encouraged by
an official promise from Superinten
dent Egbert to lay a third rail be
tween Golden and Denver in case
they prevailed.
The vote on this subject "was limit
ed to tax-payers , and the sellers car
ried the day by eighty-nine. The
amouat of stock involved has a face
value of § 100,000 , which makes the
consideration equal to $25,000 , and a
third rail before November 7. _
Superintendent Egbert is preparing
to execute his promise with all possi
ble dispatch.
This improvement , which was strong
ly favored last week by The Golden
Transcript , will obviatn the necessity
of transporting ores from the moutain
counties for the Argo works , and aho
sncourage trade between Denver and
the established mining camps by put
ting affcnd to the damage and delay
incident to the change from broad to
narrow gauge cars. The improvement
will involve an outlay , on the part of
the railroad company , estimated at
850,000.

The City Council has voted to do
iway with the use of gas in the street
lamps and city buildings. The gas
lompany insisted on charging § 2 60
per thousand cubic feet , and the
Council concluded to dispense with
such an expensive luxury. It is
thought the gas company will come
to terms. The city is willing to pay
52 40 , which is 20 per cent. Jess than
that charged private consumers.

BUTCHEEED WHITES.
KAWUNS , October 13. Emil Web
ber and Geo. Tuber , two couriers , just
arrived from v hat was a few days ago
White River agency. From them I
learn the following particulars : _
"Gen. Merritt advanced upon the
agency on the llth inst. On his way
he found many dead bodies , pmong
other bodies Carl Goldstein , an Israel
ite who left here with government sup
plies , for the Utes at White River
agency. He was found in a gulch six
miles this side of the agency , shot
twice through the shoulder. He was
about two miles from his wagon. A
teamster named Julius Moote , former
ly from Bainbridge , Mass. , who was
with him when he left here ,
was found about one hundred yards
from Goldstein , two bullet holes in
his breast , and the body hacked and
mutilated with a knife or hatchet. As
the commaud = > firlfnced through the
canyon they came to an old coal mine ,
ind in it was found a ( dead body , an
agency employe named Dresser. He
had evidently been wounded and then
jrawled into the mine to die. His coat
was folded up and placed under his
head for a pillow. Beside him lay a
Winchester rifle containing eight cart
ridges. In one of his pockets a letter
nras found which , as near aa the cour
ier could remember , was :
WHITE RIVEE , September 29 , 1 p.
oa. Major Thornburgh : I will come
with Chief Douglas and another chief
ind meet you to-morrow. Everything
is quiet here and Douglas is flying the
Qnited States flag. We have been on
juard three nights and will be to
night ; not that we expect any trouble ,
but because there might be. Did you
have any trouble coming through the
: anyon ?
[ Signed ] N. C. MEEKEK ,
U. S. Indian Agent.
. ON ENTERING THE AGENCY
i scene of quiet desolation presented
itself. All the buildings , except one ,
ivere burned to the ground , and not
t living thing was in sight , except the
jommand. The Indians had taken
everything , except the flour , and de-
amped. The women and children
nrere .missing , and nothing whatever
: ould be found to indicate what be-
: ame of them. They either have
} een murdered and buried , or else
; aken away as hostages. Their dread-
: ul and unmentionable state calls forth
; he most profound sympathy.
The dead body of
FATHEKMEirCK

rom his house lying on his back , shot
through the head , the left side of his
lead mashed in with some blunt in-

AWHILE BENEOADB.
In the position occupied by the In-
liana during Thornburgh's battle , in
i breastwork made of stone , was
bund the dead body of a whita man ,
Iressed in buckshia , sitting on his
cnees , hia gun in position to fire. He
ras shot through the forehead. From
his it appears the Indians are not
lone in their hellish work. The
upposition is that the Indians have
; one south to join the Southern Utes ,
nd the impression among the officers
if Merritt's command is that the In-
iians who fought Thornburgh. num-
tered at least 7CO.

ially as follows :
"This morning I moved down the

baried seven bodies here , includini
Agent Meeker's and three on the road
Am entirely in doubt respecting thi
force the hostiles can muster. It i
clearly ascertained that all the Unit ;
Indians joined the Utes before thi
Thornburgh fight If orders are ti
go to the southern agency and figh
what we meet I shall be glad to carr ;
them out , but hope instructions wil
not be delayed.
GAEL WANTS PEACE.
WASHINGTON , October 13. Secretary
tary Schurz immediately upon receiv
ing the dispatch stating that th
hostile Utoa had retired through thi
influence of Ouray , called at the Wa
Department and consulted with General
oral Sherman on the'subject. Th
latter at once S3nt the following tele
gram to General Sheridan at Chicago
HOW HE GETS IT.
The Honorable Secretary of thi
Interior was this morning called wit !
a dispatch conveying propositions fo :
peace , which is communicated fo :
your own information , and whicl
fhould go for what it is worth. Gens
Crook and Merritt the latter on thi
spot can tell it the hostiles hav <
ceased fighting. If so , Gen. Merrit
should go in every event to the
agency to ascertain the actual condi
tion of facts. All Indians who op
pete must be cleared out of the wa ]
if they resist. If they surren
der their arms and prom
ise. they should be held at
prisoners to be disposed of by superioi
orders. The Secretary of the Interioi
will send a special agent at once tc
Ouray , who is believed to be honest
and our friend. He may prevent the
Southern Dtes from being involved
and the Interior Department can be
friend him afterward by showing favor
to some of his special friends , but the
murderers of the agent and employes
must be punished , as also those who
fought and killed Major Thornburgh
and his men. Please acknowledge
receipt.

General.
CHIEF OUKAY'S RECOMMENDS.
Secretary Schurz telegraphed Stan
ley , Indian agent at Los Pines , to tell
Ouray that the government highly
appreciated his efforts ; that the troops
would proceed to the White River
agency and Odray should attempt to
prevent resistance there , as it would
be disastrous to the Indians , who
must surrender and throw themselves
on the mercy of the government. No
injustice would be done anyone , but
the guilty parties must be delivered
up. Ouray's recommendations for
mercy in individual cases will be re
spected as far as the general interest
permits.
HOW KIND THEY AEE.
WASHINGTON , October 13. Agent
Stanley has telegraphed Secretary
Schurz that the employe Brady and
an escort of Indians have just ar
rived from White River. The Utes
recognized and obeyed Ouray's orders ,
withdrew , and will fight no more un
less forced to do so. If the soldiers
are stopped , the trouble can be , by
the psace commission to investigate
the causes of the offenses. Let the
blame rest where it may. This will
save life , expense and distress.
THE SOUTHERN UTES.
SATURDAY , ( Jet. 10. 3 p. m. A ru
mor just from the Southern Ute
Agency with a letter from the Agent
says a general council was held. The
Utea will obey Ouray's request and
will stay at homo and take no part in
the White River trouble , and request
Onrav to inform them of this decision.
[ Signed , ] STANLEY , Agent.
I concur in the above ,
OURAY , Head Chief of the Utes.
a. Letter from Mr. Meeser'sDaughter.
GREELEY , October 9.
to the Editor of The Denver Tribune :
I , as the eldest daughter of the
mprtyred Agent Meeker , of White
River Agency , wish to thank you for
ill the kind words that have been
said it The Tribune of my good father ,
ind also to express my feelings in a
limited way about this horrible
nassacre. Had there been half as
nuch expedition and force put in
) peration from the time of my father's
: alling for troops until the battle as
; hero has been since the battle , this
loroible massacre would never have
) ccured. The government with its
ilow movements has let my father be
nurdered , when it could have been
prevented. My father wrote Governor
Pitkin on September 10 , that his and
ill the lives at the agency were in
peril , and requested troops. After
; hreo weeks' delay so small a detach
ment were sent as were overcome , giv
ing the Indians more power than pre
vious. Had the "cow-boys" of Colorado
rado been called on September 10th ,
they would have gotten there in time
to save the lives at the agency , and
they would have made so clean a work
af the red devils that it would have
been hard to find one alive to-day.
The life of one common white man is
worth more than the lives of all the
Indians from the beginning of then : .
: reation until now. And yet such
i man as my father , with brains , in
tellect anp power to move the thoughts
ot men his life is now ignominiously
put out by the hand of a savage foe ,
whose life or soul is not worthy of a
dog. And no power in all the land to
itay the deed. What a magnanimous
government we have to pamper a set
of creatures 'whose existence should
have been a thing of the past long ago !
Oh , my father , could I but have
3ied in your stead ! My protector , my
hope , and joy ! Oh , the broken
hearts of widows , daughters and sis
ters , who to-day this hour mourn
the loss of their dear martyred ones
who were their support , love , life and
their all , are now gone from their
sides forever , with only sorrow and
desolation for their comforter through
life ! Who can pay the price of this
mighty woe ? Truly the * blood of the
martyred ones cry out for vengeance ,
md shall the voice of anguish be
inshed ? ROSE MEEKER.
