The im'cstigation by the United States Court of Claims into the various claims against the United States for cotton seized by Government officers rebellion brings oiit'some remarkable "developments which tend to throw additional light on the mystery wliich has surrounded tlie sale of cotton by Government agents shortly after it was seized from the Ileliels during the war. The Government realized from this sale about $30,000,000, hut the examinations of the Government agents' books and other evidence which lias been obtained through the prosecution of these claims, reveals the f.ict that the cotton was worth over twice that amount, it ap-jiears tliat some of the agents at Now York disposed of the cotton at twenty-nine cents a pound, when its market value at the time of tlie sale was seventy-five cents per pound.

Some of the agents appear to liave been in collusion with the purcliasers, and the jioorest kinds of cotton were shown as samples of the entire lot held by the Government, the bidders getting it by this arrangement, at the low figure of twenty-nine cents per pound, and subsequently selling it at the market price, thereby realizing a handsome profit. The claimants, however, refuse to base their claims at a figure less than its market value at the time of the 'Sale, and it is feared tliat the Government will, in refunding tlie money for these cotton seizures, be a considerable loser, especially now that the Uritish claimants stand a cliance before the mixed Commission of some compensation for these losses. It is now known at the Treasury that 01 aSelU3 Government out of large amounts of i- several of these cotton agents defrauded tlie ev. 1 hese accounts sliow. this, nut wnai steps there will lie taken to recover its just dues lias not been decided upon.

INDIAN TERRITORyT A Border Town Ku-Klnxed. St, Louis, Oct. 28. The Reimblican has an account of the riotous proceedings of a gang of desperadoes, last Friday, at Gibson, the terminus of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad in the Indian territory. The rioters were led by the notorious villains known as Limber Jack, Pony Bill and Keno Bill, and having got dwspor-ately drunk they rode through the town firing revolvers at random, wounded several persons, and intimated the people to such an extent that tlie stores were closed and business suspended.

Finally they attempted to destroy the property in tho store of Keys 'where they were met by a posse ot citizens who ordered them to de- sist, and on their refusing were fired upon by the posse. Limber Jack was wounded I in the face and lungs, and one of the posse wounded in the abdomen. Keno Bill sur-i rendered and the rest of the gang lied. The citizens determined to liang Keno Bill, but filially "yielded to better counsel and sent him out of town, threatening to kill him if ho ever returned. Next day United States Marshal Johnson, of Fort Smith, pursued Keno Bill and captured him at Fort Scott, "Kansas, and took him and Limber Jack to Van Burcn, where they will lie turned over to tlie United States authorities.

Chief Justice McKean this morning pass ed sentence upon Thos.

Hawkins, the po-lygamist, a3 follows: 'ihomas Hawkins, I am sorry for you, very sorry. You may not think so now. but I shall try to make yon think so by the mercy which I shall show you. You came from England to this country with the wife of your youth. For many years you were a kind husband and kind father.

At length, however, the evil spirit of polygamy tempted and possessed you. Then happiness departed from your and now, by the complaint of your faithful wife and the verdict of a law-abiding jury, you stand at this bar a convicted criminal. The law gives me a large discretion In passing sen tence upon you. 1 might both lino and Imprison you, or I might finojyou only, or imprison. I might imprison you twenty years, and fine you $1,000.

I can not unpr son you less than three years nor fine you less tlian S500. It is richt that you should be fined, among other reasons, to help to defray the expenses of enforcing the laws; but my experience in such cases lias been such that, were I to fine you only, I am satisfied tho fine would lie paid out of other funds than yours, and thus you go free, absolutely free, from all punishment, and then those men who misled the people would make you and thousands of others-believe that God liad sent, them to pay the fine tliat God had nrevented the sVnd- 1 ing you to prison tliat by a miracle yon I naa neen rescued lrom the authorities of the United States. I must look to it tliat mv judgment eives no aid and comfort to such men. I must look to it tliat my judgment be not so severe as to seem vindictive, and not sotliat tIie cost of tl10 war ln Cuba, during the light as to seem to trifle with justice. This community ought to begin to learn tliat God does not interpose to rascuc criminals from the consequences of their crimes, but on the contrary, tliat He so orders the affairs of His universe, tliat sooner or later crime stands face to face with justice and justice the master.

I will say here and now, that whenever your good behavior and the public good sliall justify me iu doing so, I will gladly recommend that you bo pardoned. "The judgment of the court is that you be fined five hundred, dollars, and, that you be imprisoned at hard labor for the term of threeyears." Contrary to all expectations there was little Or no excitement in the court-room. The attendance was large, but generally all maintained proper decorum. The United States-Marshal and deputies were fully prepared for any emergency. Notice of appeal to the Supreme Court was gheiTby the prisoner's counsel.

The prisoners were placed in a carriage and taken to Camp Douglas. A slight excitement prevailed at the Marshal's ollice while the accused were there, waiting for a conveyance to the camp, some policemen saying they should not go to prison if they did not wish to go, and one or two women calling out to the officers to take them if they dared, and they would fight them with a vengeance, etc.

The officers, however, were firm, and nothing serious liappened. The alleged crime consists in the killing of Ricliard Yates and a man named Buck, several years ago. A warrant was out "for the arrest of Orson Hyde one of the twelve apostles on the same charge, but he eluded the deputies who were sent to arrest him. He was pursued to the Southern Territory.

While the fire was buru'uig, she telegraphed her brother, in Indiana, to buy and send her a carload of provisions. Her brother did so. This girl took sick families into her rented house, and in the first ten days after the fire fed, by one meal or more, six hundred people.

She is a pure, modest, retiring Christian girl, and'my wife discovered it, not from her, but indirectly. She has been my wife's dress-inaker for about UM mcjears.

M. McUhee, of the House of Reprcsenta- tives, and Moses J.

Wicks did, on the 21th 1 of October at his own ollice, in the city of Memphis, co'mmunicaf to the editors of the Memphis Appeal the fact tliat Gen.

Mahone did propose to Mr. Wilson, in Xew York, through Maj. Wicks, to purchase at par the entire stock of East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company, including the stockownedby CM. McGhee, Jaques, Jackson and said Wilson, as well as the stock of all other stockholders who wished to sell, and tliat Wilson said, in reply, that "it is useless to make the oiler, as I am committed to Scott and his associates for the stock owned by McGhee. Jaipies, Jackson and myself." We further find that the fact so communicated to the editors true, and tliat the communication of tliis fct was the only connection that Maj.

Wicks had vith the editorial which appeared in the "lpeal" of 25th inst. Tpt, we arc satisfied tliat there were circumstances calculated to impress the mind of Col. McGhee with the belief that Maj. Wicks was tho author or instigator of the editorial referred to. Upon full consideration of all the facts and circumstances, we decide that the remarks made by Col.McGhee in the Uouseof Representative's, on the 27th under a.

They assembled at the comer of Cherry and Broad streets and headed by a band marcTied through the principal streets of the city. The procession was divided into two sections, the first containing niitety-uino men. not including the brass band, and the second one hundred and twenty-nine men, including a band of colored men. Each one carried some implement of his trade. The whitewasher hoisted aloft a long-haudlcd brush us bis pennant; the wood-sawyer slung his saw over hU shoulder, and looked like a minstrel boy on his travels.

One venerable-Icoklng darkey staggered along under the weight ofa heavy drill; a savago-Iookhig chap carried a bloody meat axe in his hand, while a sturdy cordwaincr bore triumphantly aloft a shoemaker's clamp in which was securely fastened the scarcely recognizable remains of an old shoe.

ine large majority 111 favor of the nronn- sition is a terrible rebuke to the illiberality of the controlling spirits in the Snanensinii Bridge Companr. and show that the people are determined to crush out the monopoly tliat lias been so damaging to the interests of the public at large. Some of the stockholders are not responsible for the narrow-minded policv pursued bv the present Bridge Conipaiiv, but their views have been overruled by tho majority of stock against tliem. We believe if the prc-Iiosition to cross the bridge by the street railroad liad lieen left to the vote of tlie stockholders, tliat the privilege would liave buen granted, but in all such matters ther lias iH-en a controlling power tliat could not be moved.
