In consequence of this mes-saga, Ould oa Thursday sought young Saunders and found him threshing wheat ia a lot Bear ta Garnett's store.

Ould. riding a mule, waited 'about there for some time, ready, to make a diffleuly, but Saundera, being Intent upon' bia paid mo attention to blm, aad he want off, wm thought. Subsequently fieundera want to the store for some purpose, and Ould rode up, and, axing highly offensive language against Maunder, caused th Utter to com to tha door, where Ould. still mounted on tb mule, fired upon blm two or three time. Saunders seised a small piece of Iron and burled It at Ould, but without effect, aad then ran up to Ould and succeeded ia getting the pistol from him.

By one of Ould about feaundera wm wounded, th ball striking oa th la-aide of the left arm. between the elbow and shoulder Joint, and ranging upward into tha body. Oula arrested by the bystanders, and examined by a mag istrate aad committed to Jail without ball. At test accounts Mr. Saunders' condition wm regarded serious.

Mr. Colby, Superintendent of tb store, saw tb theft, and summoned Officer George H. Paddock, of tb Twenty-fifth Fraeinct. Petersoa wm arrasted by tba officer, aad seemed so wall disposed to go along peaceably that wm neither held nor manacled.

On their way to tb station-house, while on Twenty -ninth-street, near Madison avenue, Peterson materially changed bia demeanor. He bad been carrying aa umbrella tn his right hand. This transferred to tb other band, aad with his right pulled out twa Derrlngar pistols, and, dropping tb umbrella, with a pistol in each band he turned upon Paddock aad Colby, saying ta themi "Ton git, aowr fired, it is alleged, three shots so doss to their face that they wr blinded for a moment by tha amok. Paddock My that on of th bullet grnsed his left cheek under the eye, but it appeared to tb reporter that the wound be showed wm a very old scar. After firing the three shot Peterson ran, and aucceeded ia distancing Paddock, who jumped into a passing batcher's cart and compelled tba driver to chase Peterson.

The run-sway made such excellent use of bis lege that neither Paddock's impressed cart nor Officers Kepner, of the Twenty-ninth Precinct, and Pratt, of tha Twenty-fifth, who joined in tha chase, could get anywhere near blm. During the chase Peterson continued to reload and fire off his Derringers at bis pursuers. Bring eight shots altogether at them, none of which, however, took effect. Paddock also kept up a firs front tha cart upon Peterson, and fired Ave bullet at him, on of whinh struck hire oa the bark of the head and ran along under the scalp until it reached the top of the skull, when it came out and carried the fugitive's bat with it, and another lodged in bia right calf. Blood flowed freely from both tbeaa wounds, but it did not seem to affect Peterson's strength.

During this time he continued his course down Twenty-fourth-street toward Second-avenue, and when ha wm near the corner of the avenue ha turned upon a young man named Edward cornfield, of No. 3:14 West Fourteenth-street, who was standing looking at the chase, and shot at him. Bromfield turned, and thus Mved his life, for the bullet, which was aimed close to his heart, went sideways through the coat at tha left lapel, through the vest and shirt, and made a alight flesh wound on the right breast. Peterson then ran into a slaughter-house on Second-avenue, where he wm captured by Officer Smitli, of tha Eighteenth Precinct, who transferred him to Pad-, dock. Paddock took him before Judge Watodell.

in Jefferson Market Police Court, yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, and two complaints were made against him for felonious assault, one by Paddock and the other by Bromfield, and a charge of grand larceny wm entered against him by Colby. Judge Wsndell held the prisoner for trial in default of $22.00 bail, $10,000 upon each of the felonious assaults, and $2. OOO upon the larceny. There were found upon tha prisoner's person in cash, a bunch of curiously-shaped keys, a small vial of mysterious liquid, and several trunk or baggage checks, on numbered 221, and tamped "Grand Union Hotel, Xew York." THE EXCISE LAW TO BE ENFORCED. 1 GXXERaL order bt the police commis- EIONERS THE DOTY OF THE FORCE POINTED OUT THE ORDER TO BE PROMULGATED TO-DAT.

After th adjournment of th meeting it wm afv nouneed by th Superintendent that th order would not be promulgated until to-day. Commissioner Erhardt states that the order wm drafted in strict compliance to the law, and not as a subterfuge, as might be suspected from the phraseology of the last resolution. AVCTIOX SALE OF CALICOES. Messrs.

Townsend, Montant Co. made an extensive sale of calico prints by auction yesterday, at their wareroomx. No. 79 Leonard street. There wer 89 lota, comprising 1,775 case, containing, in th aggregate, 229,818 yards of Richmond prints, disposed of.

Tha purchasers were all City jobbers, and resident buyers representing out of town bouse. About 500 merchants attended the sals. Th goods war disposed of In lots of from on to 10 case, to suit th buyers. The prices obtained were considerably leas than the regular market rate. The lowest price received on perfect goods wm 6 rents, and the bJgheettl1, cents, while, bad the commission merchants gone on tha street to sell them, they could have disposed of them readily at 7 and 7a cents per yard.

The terms of the sale were 60 days' credit. with a discount of 5 per or 7 per cent, dis count on nuis paia witnin lu a ays after the sale. mere is a gooa aeei or nissattsraetion nxnon manufacturers and commission merchants at this way of disposing of goods, it ruins the market by forcing upon it goods which are not reallj needed, while the only parties benefiting by he operation are the Jobbers- The latter too ar getting into the habit of waiting until aa and ion sale take place before they purchase, ami thus making the extra percentage. Other manufacturers are left the alternative of aelllng their wars private sale low enough to meet the reduction corresponding to that obtained at an auction sale, or go to the expense of disposing of their good at auction also.

Osceola Cooper, a man who claimed to be a nephew of Osceola, th renowned Chief of tba Sn taol Indians, died suddenly yesterday, of acute dla-m ef th kidneys, accelerated by other ailment, atXo. 83 Bond ti Mt, a lodging-house.

Cooper, who we 3d years of aga at tb fdm of his death, was tba only son of Solomon Cooper, aa Indian doctor, who, ft is claimed, was tha brother of th Seminole chief. Tboe wba are familiar with the history of tb Sexsinol wars eaa recall tba Important incident in th life of Cooper's celebrated progenitor. Osceola wm bora ia Georgia ta 1804. His father wm aa English trader named Powell, who xoarried tba daughter of a Seminole chief. Soon after tha death of his father, Osceola, tbaa a stripling, removed to Florida with his Indian mother, and there became Identified wtth th fortunes of her father's tribe, among whom, aftar a brief period, tb young aaaa was recognised a leader.

He married, ae-eording to the rites of tb tribe, th daughter of on of the chiefs. In 1835. while on a visit to Fort King, Oseeola's wif wu seized a fugitive slave, and as such was carried off. This outrage, added to other injuries, fancied or real, angered th young chief to such an extent, that be uttered undisguised threat against his persecutors. On tb strength of those indlaereet utterances, Osceola was seised by order of Gen.

Thompson, and put in Irons, but wm released after a brief term of humiliating imprisonment. Swearing to revenged, he gathered about blm a little band of followers, with whom be laid in wait for Thompson. On Dee. 25, 1835, meeting tb Utter and other whites outside- of tb walls of the fort, tb young chief and his band massacred tba entire party. This tragedy wm the signal for th second Seminole war, which practically terminated on Oct.

21. 1837, with th capture of Osceola under a flag of truce at St. Augustine. He wm incarcerated in Fort Moultrie, near Charleston. 8.

C. where he died on Jan. SO, 1838. There is no record in history that Osceola had a brother, and yet the friends of Osceola Cooper aver that be (the chief bad one. several years bis junior, who wm sdopted br Solomon Cooper, of New-York, at the close of the Seminole war.

The circumstance of the younger brother adoption by Mr. Cooper are desert nel thus: A small band of Seminole, a remnant of Osceola's scattered tribe, encountered, a few days succeeding the capture of their chief, hostile party of Indians, from whom they rescued Mr. Cooper. At first the Setninolea were inclined to- treat Mr. Cooper as a prisoner, and would perhaps eventually have subjected him to the if Osceola's brother, who wm tha net of the band, had not interceded in his behalf.

'The half-breed' Indian boy became greatly attached to Cooper, by whom he wm subsequently adopted and brought to this City. Hera he assumed the name of hi patron, whose property, which wu of considerable value, he inherited. Alter the death of bia adopted father, Solomon Cooper for by that name only he wm known went to Barcelona, Spain, where he married a woman of good family. Osceola Cooper, the man who now lie dead at No. 35 Bond-street, is alleged to be the first fruit of that union.

Shortly after the birth of his second child, a girl, Solomon Cooper returned with his family to this country, and settled on a farm situated near the homestead of the Greeley family at Chappaqua. He became famous aa an Indian doctor, and through his professional ex-ertioni gained considerable wealth. At the outbreak of the rebellion, br. Cooper, who wm "then sojourning in the South. Joined the rebel army.

and. it is said, was killed in battle. A few years preceding the termination of the war his son, Osceola Cooper, ran war from college and iolned the Union forces, acting as courier under Gen. Sherman until the surrender of Lee. Returning homeward.

he learned that his mother had moved from the Chappaqua farm to a bouse in Forty-ninth- street, between First and Second avenues. Thinking that his sudden and unexpected reappearance would prove too great a shock to her, he requested the servant who answered his summons at the door to inform Mrs. Cooper that a returned Union soldier desired to see her. The lady replied through the medium of th domestie that sue had every incentive to loath Union soldiers, and that, consequently, she would not permit his entrance to the house. Osceola entered, however, and an affecting scene ensued between mother and son.

It wm then that the news of his father's death was made known to him. He also learned that his sister had married a Col. Mar-shall, of the Confederate Army. Marshall died at Pavoaia, New-Jersey, about five years ago. His wife died two vears later, leaving two children.

Jennie and Willie Osceola Marshall, to the guardian-ship of their uncle, Osceola Cooper, who placed them in the bouse of a Mrs. Post, in Pa von is About six months ago Alfreta PoWelL an Indian woman, who claimed Osceola Cooper as her brother, but who was only recognized by him sa an adopted sister, surreptitiously removed little Willie Osceola Marshall from Mrs. Post's house, and disappeared with the boy. Being apprised of the abduction of his nephew, Osceola Cooper left his home in Bergen Point, and came to this City in the hope of finding the boy, but had not succeeded up to the time of his sudden death. Two years sgo he visited the tribe of his father in Oregon.

Coroner Flanagan, who was requested yesterday to inquire into the cause of his death, ascertained that he wm a man of very intemperate habita. He wm apparently in excellent health on Wednesday evening, when, accompanied by two female friends, he at-tended the performance at Niblo's Garden. It is believed that he leaves property, including real estate, amounting in value to $50,000. THE SILK WEAVERS' STRIKE.

A special meeting of the Board of Trade of Pmterson, N. was held on Wednesdaevenlng, President William Ryle in th chair; The meeting wm called to consider the silksfrlke, which has now been ia existence for some 'six or seven weeks.

He did not believe in allowing the strikers to intimidate workmen in that manner. He thought that it would be very appropriate for the Board of Trade to take soma action In the matter. Mr. T. N.

Dale, proprietor of the Bale SUk Mills, spoks at length in the same vein, and submitted a resolution requesting the President to appoint a committee of five to wait upon the Mayor and advise wlta him to the necessity of taking prompt action with a view of devising measures to give security and protection to labor.

An amendment to the resolution, expressing confidence in the Mayor, was offered by Mr.

Congdon, but it wm lost on a division, and the original resolution wm then put and carried unanimously. The striking silk-weavers have resolved to eon-tinue the strike, owing, no doubt, to the action of tba Board of Trade in denying them admittance to their meeting and not showing a desire to meet them in a conciliatory spirit.

Green B. Ream. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, bad recently been blaend ia possession of sarlon charges against Collector Flee land, of Brooklyn, and that Mr. Brooks, Chief ef th Secret Servie Bureau, would leave Washington for Brooklyn to-day for tha porpo ef investigating them. Tb ehargea are embraced ta 13 speeiflca- tlona, and it Is claimed that they are preferred prominent business man.

of Brooklyn, who to substantiate thsm by tb testimony of bost of witnesses, If tb Government will guarante that tb witnesses shall protected fronvbfficial persecution and annoyance. Among the charge ar black-mall Ing. extortion, vexatious and unneceseary seizures, for sales, paying private debts withGovernment stamps, fail are to eoUeet dues, and collusion with distiller and ether revenue officers. It is also charged that whea Special Agents of tbe Treasury war sent from I Washington to investigate the affairs of Collector LFreeland's office, th account of stock wm taken by avoirdupois. Dispatches from Washington My that these grave accusations ar th result of a feeling of indignation on the part of the business men of Brooklyn over the retention of Mr.

Free land in office against their most earnest pruteafs. A reporter of Tax Times called ta see Mr. Free-land last evening ia reference to thla matter. 'The gentleman wm not at home, but bia intimate personal friends, Mr. Palmer, of tha Casonand Arpua.

and Mr. Ellia, spoke for him. Tbey said there wm no question but that charges had been preferred against Mr. Free land by some persons who bad personal or political aims to forward in the event or. his removal from office, but they ui unqualifiedly gainst th denied every material allegation aga! honesty.

Integrity, and efficiency of tbe Collector. Mr. Palmer Mid he wm confident that a mors honorable and conscientious gentleman never served th Government in any capacity. The allegation that he used official stsmps to defray private debts wm preposterous. Mr.

norland would not even use a stamp that belonged to the Government on a private letter. Tha other charges were in the main equally as absurd, and had been shown to be so already. Mr. Palmer laughed at th charge in relation to th manner in which th Special Treasury Agents had investigated the accounts of Mr. Freeland'a office.

The books, he said, were and are always open to the full and tree inspection of any person who takes sufficient interest in th affairs of the Collertor40 examine tnem. Secure in every conceivable point at which his honesty snd efficiency could be attacked, Mr. Freeland courted investigation, the result of which can only redound to bis credit. Mr. Ellis said there was no truth whatever in th assertion that tba petition for Mr.

Freeland'a removal had been signed by the foremost men of Brooklyn. He Ellis had himself drawn np a request for Mr. Freeland'a retention, and he knew that It had been aigned cheerfully and willingly by eitisens whose characters were above merehans and public men of parties. Neither Mr. Palmer nor Mr.

Ellia kna (or at least tbey said they did not know) who were the person who had petitioned for the removal of Mr. Freeland, and who had now preferred ehareee against him. but tt is understood that the name of one of them ia eolverman. TEE PRESIDENT ASKED TO EIPLAIX. The following communication, which sufficiently explains itself, hu been sent to President Hayes by the officers of the Twentieth Ward (Brooklyn) Republican Association: Bkooiltv, July 31, 1877.

Tb Bit EzetBeney Rutherori B. Hayes, frident. The Twentieth Ward Republican Association of Brooklyn hav received a large number of resignations of membership from gentlemen holding jxiei-tkras in tha Custom-house. Post Office, and Navy-yard. These resignations result from your recent order in reference to participation by Federal officers in political conventions.

The undersigned yfare ap pointed a committee from the association to ut whether the order referred to covers membership such organizations. The Twentieth Ward Republican Assoeia braces within its membership every Republican voter of the ward who has asked admiaalonma has a roll-book upon which tbe names of snen voters are en tared. The persons and no others sre entitled to vote at all the primary elections, at which not only are the delegatea to the several political conventions chosen, but the ward qfSeers. such Aldermen and Supervisors, are alsonominated for the general elec tion. The wardVbeing strongly Republican, it is manifest 1 ordinary circumstances the per- I thus nominated for Alderman and Supervisor certain of victory at the general elee- ieallr.

therefore, if vour order forbids Fed eral office-holders to be members of tbe Ward Asso ciation, and if continuance in tbe exercise of th rights of membership is a breach of the order, such persona are, to some extent, excluded from th light of suffrage. We esteem the primary election, as conducted by the ward association, an important civil right, ft ia certainly the fountain and source of political power. The resignations which have been already received by the association were laid upon the table in order to obtain from you an expression whether persons holding Federal positions will be prejudiced by membership, and whether they are expected to withdraw from all participation in the selection of delegates for convention and nominees for wsrd and other offices, and action will bo deferred until your answer ia received. Very reeneetfully yours, C. H.K.

A-V OLD GRIEVANCE. Tb fA Editor efOu Nme-Yark Tlmm A large number of your readers have been gratified by the editorial in your paper of Aug. 1, entitled Swindling States." It is Indeed wonderful to a plain person how popular dishonesty has become with the multitude, and that, however ready tba individual may be to pay his dots, yet, as a body, they are always opposed to payment, tint benefits that have been enjoyed. Perhaps this would not appear so strange if the voters were all tax-payers, but even those who have no pecuniary Interest at stake are proved to gladly rush to th dishonest tide. This tendency can only be arrested by the power of public opinion, and it ia th manifest duty of th press to strike unsparingly, without fear or favor, wherever' the thieving disposition shows itself, be It in the private station or in th Stat.

But if th "swindling State is so abhorent to our sense of justice, what shall be said of the "swindling General Government Has not our country sowed the seed and shall it decline to reap or. rather, has It not carefully taught its children that robbery is often expedient at any rate, that honesty must never stand in the way of policy I You have, no doubt, many instances before you, but it is here only necessary' to recall one, a robbery, whose victims many of them now just alive from tha years of their prime to their old age hav called unceasingly upon tha Government to return them their fathers' property only to return them their own, without any thought of Interest, so their declining yeara might be spared from poverty. And to think that they have been always denied, and always assured tbat their claim wm perfectly just but too unpopular! I refer, of course, to the French spoliation claims, aad to th arranged and outraged heirs, living and dead, of the merchant claimants, Three-quarters of a century have passed since, by the decree of Milan, tb French Government, in the midst of trouble, honorably naid tbeaa claims to the United State by the cession of Louisiana, and twice during that time hat a bill providing for their settlement passed both house of Congress, twice hu it been vetoed once by that brilliant statesman James K. Polk, and once by that astute warrior Franklin Pierce and to-day if the question wm left to tbe people whether tb Caited State should cancel it debt to th amount of even $50,000,000, tb answer st tha polls would a tremendous No Let us not speak sf- "swindling State. nor blame th branches for being corrupt, wbaa tb tree itself is rotten.
