INDIAN TEBBITOEY INVASION.
At the cabnet meeting yesterday
afternoon there "waa a discussion of
the report that the'Indian territory
had been invaded by squatters. Neith
er fho secretary of war nor the secre
tary of the interior had rfjewodanjv
information about the reported' InvkT
slon. Secretary Schur 5ifH"ydstmasi
ter General Key will telegraph to their
officers in the locality for information. [
HO INVASION TAKEN MACE. '
War officers are without any advices
other thanthosp received through the
Indian bureau in relation to the re
ported invasion of the Ute lands and
Indian territory by miners and others.
The reports are believed to be highly
colored , and with but very little foun-
d&tion. At the war office it is stated
that neither the Ute lands or Indian , j
territory could bo invaded without tbe
knowledge of the troops in thevicin , ccol
ity , and if each invasion as reported oltt
had been made it would have been ttdi
prevented by troops and tfio matter di
reported here , but not-aword on the dite

McManus , of Philadelphia , was in

Cameron his object was to inform him
( Cameron ) that ten out of. the twelve
Philadelphia city delegates to Chicago m
had determined that they would not G
vote for Grant under any circum

that if he attempted to enforce the
unit rule on the delegation at Chicago
ce :
cage , he would find himself in a min cebi
ority , with the majority of the dele bim
gation against him , and he ( McManus )
advised and urged him to make
th
known at once to the delegation that It [
he gave up the unit rule. Itan
To this Cameron is said to have re an

Mr. Woodin interrupted Mr. Ja-

Mr. Woodin asked if Mr. Jacobs BOC
iad heard the whistle. . - Bta
Mr. Jacobs ent to the clerk's desk a4 <
i
atelegraoi from Mr. Fowler stating
that its interview was false.
Mr. Woodin then characterized the
subject matter ol the resolution as in
sufferable nonsense. In his own time
and way and at the proper place he
would declare his position upon this
matter if thera was any doubt upon it.-
He moved to lay the resolution on the
table , and the motion was carried by
e vote of 18 to 7.
Mr. Woodin rose to a question of
privilege , and read an extract from
The New York Sun , saying that he ,
with otherj , had agreed to break up
the unit rule and vote against Grant.
He denied the statement in the mos't
unreserved manner ; said he would go
to Chicago to give his voice to tha
constitution as patriotic as any man
in the commonwealth. The Utica
convention only ratified his selection
to the Chicago convention. If bound
by any instructions they must ba de
rived from the constituency he repre
sented. His convictions were clear ,
strong and unmixed with doubt.
While he awarded Grant all praise he
viewed the bare possibility of his nom
ination with concern. Tho. choice of
bis district was James G. Blaine.
With him to lead the column ho felt
assured of success. I believe he will
1 39 nominated. Every hour exhibits
his 1 popularity.
Mr. Halbett asked if Mr. Woodin
jS bad j accepted the position of delegate
and now proposed to step aside and
let } another man go there aud vote for
James G. Blaine.
Mr. Woodin said he stated at the
state convention that his choice was
for Grant. His alternate should voice
the sentiment of the constituency.
Mr. Sessions said the sentiments
expressed by Mr. Woodin were hfs
own and the views of his own constitu-
ency.

WEST POINT , May 8 1 a. m. The
assistant district attorney first took
the witness stand to testify in the
Whittaker outrage yesterday. The
officers here are somewhat exercised
because Mr. Fiero had said that he
was followed to Highland Falls by
mounted officers while up here making
an investigation on April-14th. The
recorder said that he desired the wit
ness to understand that the court did
not wish to interfere in any way with
tue civil prosecution of this caseand he
asked the witness if he could give any
information that would help the in
quiry into the outrages.Vituess re
ferred the court to General Woodford
who was present and who the witness
said would tell the court how far he
could answer questi&m. Gen. Wood-
ford signified to the witness to reply
and Fiero said he could give no infer
mation. Ho thought the inquiry
had been prosecuted as for as possible.
hitl said that a great deal of knowledge
that I possess is the property of the
grand jury which as is well known , is
the hightstcourtintheland. Recorder
asked witneis if in the course of his
investigation he had observed any in
clination on the part of the author
ities here to conceal anything. Wit
ness said , "I hive not. " The recorder
IKei U
ei informed the witness that it had
been ( a matter of report and rumor A
that during his hat visit here ho had sp
been followed to Highland Falls by spwi
wo mounted officers. The witncsa
ather sneeringly said , "There has IK
03ii such a report. Oh , you have ra
lenrd a report , and you want mo to th
itate on my own judgment. Oh ; yes , evan
.here is a measure of truth in it. "
Recorder If you were followed for fiu
myjunworthy motive this court has a
ight to know it and to find out who an
hose officers were. What more in th
tetail have you to give ? ed
Gen. Wood ford and Mr. Fiero hero
told a consultation , when the witness pr
sked the recorder : " -By detiils I ioi

bout an hour. On his returd he look- coi
in at Ryan's and eaw two persons
