Erie, November 15. The Whit-Holden prize fight may not come off after all. White arrived yesterday, but Hplden not here yet, and White's friends offer bet a thousand dollars he on' come. Two Canadian detectives are reported to here watching events. The presiding judge of this judicial district remarked fro iu the bench yesterday, that the full penalties of the law would be visited npon all parties brought before him for viola-tioa'of the regulations against prize fight- ir.g.

This served to render the managers m.r.sually cautious, and it is exceedingly difficult to obtain any reliable information. The present intention seems to be to leave here for Canada at 2 "6 o'clock to-morrow, anei settle the affair immediately on landing, returning Erie in the afternoon, the steamer Pearl, of Buffalo, is expected to take the crowd across the lake. Some think the right wilt occur on the peninsula, just across Erie bay. It belongs to the government, and the promoters of the mill are inclined to the belief that the state laws cannot reach them there. HOLDEN ARRIVES WHITE WARNED.

Both the principals in the coming prix fight are now here, Holden having arrived late this afternoou. He is a solid, substantial looking fellow, and looks as if he-might get away with White with comparative ease. While at dinner the sheriff wTarned White and his associates that there must be no light on Pennsylvania territory. All this evening and up to this hour a strong force of police and constables has been posted near the hotels at which the pugilists auu friends are stopping. Some pickpockets were arre ste'd about 9 o'clock and an attempt at rescue was but the crowd dieln't seem disposed to taikle the police.

The steamer Pearl from Cleveland, is lying outside at th entrance of the harbor. She is said to have brought down about a hundred persons from Western aud Southern cities. The appearance on the streets of the fberiiTs posse, together with a strong force of military, started a rumor that the principals and backers were to be arrested, but this far no attempt bus been made to interfere with their freedom. All are quiet and Weil behaved, a.id seem anxious to avoid making themselves conspicuous. It is believed the party will embark for Canada about 2 o'cioe k.

The lake, hich has been very rough all elay, is growing calmer. THE SHERIFF WILL BE ON HAND. Simocoe, Ontario, November 15. The shenif is advised that "the fancy" are pouring into Erie, and bats have been chartered to leave for Long Point at three o'clock to-morrow morning. The sheriff has chartered the Annie Craig, and she is lying at Port Dover wharf with ste.tm up.

Two companies of volunteers have been' furnished with ammunition, and the sheriff is furnished with fifty pairs of handcuffs. RENT PAYER BEATEN- Particulars of the Assault Made Uppn James Galvin, iu County Kerry. 9 Dublin, November 15. Tue following are the particulars of the attack on farmer A Keply by the Former to Some Statements in a Washmeton Dispatch. New York, November 14.

The Tribune of this morning publishes a Washington dispatch containing sundry extraordinary statements concerning General Grant, and General Grant's alleged overshadowing influence over President Arthur, which is creating, naturally, no little stir in political circles. The general interpretation put upon it is that this Washington blast is the first gun in the warfare which Mr. Blaine and the anti-stalwarts, it is understood, are about to open on the president anei his administration. Among the allegations are, (1) that the cabinet is to be reorganized a Grant basis, and at Grant's dictation; (2) that "his especial representative in the government will be Mr. Chaffee, of Colorado, whose daughter married General Grant's son, and with whom, the General has intimate financial relations" (3) that "General Grant speaks with the utmost frankness of his desire to see Mr.

J31aine out, and of his purpose to assist the president in arranging the diplomatic service" (4) that "he is especially anxious to fill the Oriental Legations; and that he has already offered two or three missions to two or three friends, precisely as if he were (5) that "he ele-sires to have Mr. J. R. Young, of The New York lltrald, appointed minister to Japan, and to make a vacancy there wishes Mr. Bingham transferred to Vienna;" (6) that' Mr.

Cramer is to have a better legation than the Swiss, which General gave him; and General Badeau, if the president should think it not politic to displace General Merritt. will get consolation elsewhere; (7) that "General Grant, with a frankness which must be acknowledged, says that Garfield men ought to be pnt out without any nonsense and 'our put in their places, and he seems confident that this will be done." Your correspondent has seen General Grant with reference to these several alle gations, and, as a iratter of public interest not less than that of justice to himsslf and the president, it may be said he denounces them as falss and malicious. He says he has not sought in any way to influence the president in the manner imputed to him; tint, as regards Mr. Chaffee, the latter was politically hostile to him at Chicago, and was never considered a "Grant man" and, as for his "intimate financial relations with him," "the fact is," said the General, "I have never been interested with him in any transactiou to the extent of a dollar." As to his "wishing to have Blaine out of tlie cabinet," General Grant says that is the only truthful item in the entire indictment, lie wishes him out because he believes he is not a fit man to be there. The only arrangement of the diplomatic service that he is aware of is an expressed desire that the Eastern missions should be filled with si eoial reference to the promotion of our commercial interests in that epiarter, a thorough knowledge of the peculiar requirc-mems of which the general obtained in his journey around the world.

If Mr. Young was urged as minister to Japan, hence- it was wholly in the interests of the public; anei the same motive operated in regard to Mr. Bingh-im. The insinuation in regard to Mr. Cramer the general characterizes as wholly baseless; and the statement that he has insisted that "Gat field men must be put out" he denounces unqualifiedly and with unmistakable emphasis as an "unmitigated ffdse-hooel." General Grant, at times, spoke with considerable feeling, and gave your correspondent to understand that he was not ignorant either of the motives of his accusers or of the source of their inspirations, baok ot the accusations themselves; and lie intimated that it might yet be a duty to himself and to the president to publicly expose both.

THEY STICK TO IT. The Bar Association Sends Another Chapter About Jeidtre Shannon. Yankton, D. November 15. Several attorneys have been interviewed to-day in reference to the reported Pittsburgh interview with Judge Peter C.

Shannon, and the following is the substance of what the Yankton bar have have to say: Chief justice omnnon, oi uaKoia, is nis interview of the date of November 10th, at Pittsburg, mat es no eieniai of the serious charges agi'ust him, sworn tcv and tiled by the bcir association. Shannon seem to convey the inioressioh that his services are indispensiblt to the proper disposition of certain cases pending: the tact is that neither the star route cases, false weight cas-is in selling cattle to Indians at Standing Rock the Spotted Tail murder case, the Lieutenant Cherry murder Lone Rib murder case, Bear Butte murder Cise, Noimany railroad mine casts, are pending before him at all, but must be tried in the BUai'k Hills Judicial district. In fact, the only cases of this nature ever b.forc nim Hie those of Lovinsston, who wrs acquitted, and the cas 3 of Cameron, wherein the jury tlis-agreed. The Bar association most most emphatically deny that their action has been influenced in the case by any person al consideration, or that any cf the so-called rings Indian, or otherwise, have anything to do with their action. The Bar association declare their readiness and ability to prove each and every allegata )u charged.

New York. Iscvember 15 The steamer Bohemia arrived to-day. She brought one hundred and sixty Jews, the first that found an asylum in Spain from the. perse cutions Russia and Germany the past summer. Thev were assisted to tins coun try by the Alliance Israel universal.

The steamship cnupany agreed to provide these -pasl-engers with food accoreling to the Hebre ritual Jesser, beginning at their start from the Miisjon frontier until they arrived at New York, and the agents af the line co-operate with the alliance in provid- ing tor their comiori io ineir destination. The migrants are principally agricultur ists, and tre strong, hardy men. l'heir ob jective points are Louisiana rnd Texas. The steamer Silesia, due here Wednesday. will bring two hundred and fifty more, and it is said fifty thousand will emigrate this winter.

I I i WHO WILL BE THE NEXT SPEAKER? Tlie Principal Candidates on the Gronnd avid Ready to Engage in Battle Keif er Probably theStrongest Man, with. Iowa's Man Close Up. Washington, November 15. The canvass for the speakership of the house is becoming lively and interesting. Of the candidates Keifer, Hiscock, Duuneil, Bur rows and Kasson are here.

Orth, Reed and Robinson, of Massachusetts, will be here a few days. Keifer has established headquarters at the Ebbitt house, Hiccock the Arlington, Dunneil at the National, and the others have not yet opened their 'headquarters. GEN. KKIFEE'S FRIENDS ARE VERY HOPEFUL. They say Keifer has the united and cordial support of the Ohio delegation, and that while the fiht will be of a sectional nature, the against the East, that Keifer will get votes from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and several from Maryland, as well as several from 'the South.

Keifer's friends believe that he bus now a more positive support than any other candidate, and that he is the real choice of a number of members who for state reasons have to xromise their votes to other candidates. It is the general opinion that some of the WESTERN CANDIDATES WILL HAVE TO DROP OUT of the race before the heat of the fight naturally those having ihe smallest support are expected to be the ones who will retire. It is believed by the Ohio members that Keifer has certainly more strength than any other Western candidate, and that therefore he will finally become the candidate of that section. As one of the humorous features of the fight it is related that last spring, in his letter to members of the house asking their support, Hiscock claimed the speakership ought by right to go to the East, and particularly tlmt it ought not to go to Ohio because thnt state had the president, two members of the supreme court, several prominent diplomatic positions, and other officers. Now, time and the changes it has wrought have TURNED II 13 VERY ARGUMFNT AGAINST HISCOCK, say the Ohio representatives.

New York, thay say, has the president, two members of the cabinet, tlie French mission and other diplomatic missions, the second assistant and postmaster generalship, arid will have a member of the supreme court. This, urges a Wescern member, is sufficient honor and power for New York, at the pretent. None of the candidates have yet given estimates of their strength; they say is too early in the canvass for that. Kasson, it is admitted, is a 'strong. candi- date, and a Repubiitan member of the next house aiel to-irght: "If Kasson had been a member of thelast congress he would push Keifer very closely, and perhaps win, but he has been out of 'congress so long that he comes before the house as a stranger, comparatively; but few of the men he served with in congress are now members of the -seventh, congress.

Notwithstaning this, i HE IS'A STRONG CANDIDATE. His qualifications for the place are admitted, he is prompt and determined, and a good parliamentarian, but is handicapped by his long from the country. The member who thus expressed himself is a friend of General Keifer and naturally regards the latter as the strongest cindidate. It is reported that in organizing the house numerous Democratic members de-2iare they would not join in a movement for a fusion organization, if it coui i succeed. Representative Manning, of Mississippi, said to-night that he would not, and that he wanted the Republican to take the organization, btcausa the responsibility goes with it.

He says the Democrats would make a much better record, and better purpose for the next year's congressional campaigns, as a strong minority, without the re-sporsibility that, as a ieak majority, hampered by an element of another party, unable with the piesiuent against them, in short, the Democrats would thus be responsible for all the legislation without the power to control or direct it, and lie was not willing to put the party in any such predictament. There is a promise oi ABUNDANCE OF an CANDIDATES FOR ALL SCBOjJ- iii ate positions of the house the latest addition being John Dawson, of California, for sergeant at-arms. He librarian of the senate piior to the Democratic organization of that body. Edward M. Joan of New Yoik, ite cierk of the state senate, Edward Me Pher-sonand ex-Cemgiessmaii Ramsey are among the candidates for chief cletk.

It quite probable, however, that the election of sptakei will largely influence the disposition of this piace. If the speakership poss to the West, thrii an Eastern man will bo made clerk, and vice versa. -V THE NEW CABINET. Filley for Postmaster General anei JSIiriory Storr for Attorney General. Washington, D.

Fdley, ot Missouri, postnias ter general, and Gen. Longstreet, or some some other Southern man, secretary of navy. Rumor does not the fill state and war department.

The name of Fielinhuysen hs dropped from among those menti jBed for cabinet positions, since it was ascertained that he was offeitd ami declined the attorney generalship. Some who profess to be we di pi sted, say Howe is no longer cousiviertd hv th president, and that Ex-Senator Chaffee, oi Colorado, wiil be the next seeTetary cf the interior. There is ison to believe, too, that Ex-Senubr Sargent is no longer th jughi of. Ths Pacific c.a.rt has omy four Republican votes Congress, California and Nevaeia were Democratic lusi year, and Oregon is very close; hence it is said the claims of that section for cabinet representation have been passed by. It is aUuostjthe universal biliei here that Fiiiey is bo'kf for postmaster general upon James ietiremcnt, nd it is quite tertaln that James will not tarry long in the cabinet after congress meets.

v. WORDS OF WEBSTER REPEATED. General Sherman Addresses the Mexican Veterans at Atlanta He is Jast as Friendly to Georgia as to His Native State, Ohio. Atlanta, November 15. The Mexican Veterans' association held its annual meeting to-day in the judges hall at the exposition grounds.

General Walker, in a brief speech introduced General Henry R. Jackson, of Savannah, who delivered an oration on the history of the campaign against Mexico. General Sherman being called on made a sharp speech, and in the course of whie-h he said: "We have heard an eloquent addresson this memorable day its spirit is good, and I see no reason why we may not now declare, with Webster; 'thank God I am an American citizen. We are American citizens; 1 thank Cod I am one, and I tell you I can go to any spot from Maine to Texas and stop wbers please, so long as I behave myself and obey the laws of th? place, and that is th spirit of the government; that is what made us the United States of America, and that is the founelation stone upon which governments are built for thi continent. WE FOUGHT OrR MOTHER, and acquired our independence, and today we are the same nation, the same sol dlers, the same government, the same fla-r.

So far as I am concerned, I am just as friendly to Georgia as I am to my own native state of Ohio. Immense applause. If you all think Georgia is part of the country, wrhy stick to Georgia, and if you want to go to California, why go there; that is the great value of our system of government. It is a government worth righting for. I have come to-day to look 'upon these buildings WHERE ONCE WE HAD A BATTLE FIELD, and I delight to look upon them than to look upon the scene which was enacted sixteen years go, anil I say that every man, every kindly Ionian, over this broad land takes as much pleasure iu your prosperity, and itij this exposition, as do those who are sitting in this presence today.

I did not intend to be brought out even this much, but I think we are all now a position to say, every one of us. that we thank God that we are each and every one i us, great and small, Toung and old, American citizens. LOTS OF LIBEL SUITS- A Local Row at St. Louis Results In Six Difiereut Suits for I.ibei. St.

Louis, November 15. The local excitement which has prevailed here for a week past, and which originated in uncharge made through the newspapers by ex Governor Charles P. Johnson, a leading criminal lawyer of the city, against the board of police commissioners, oi inefficiency and malfeasance in office, in r.ot enforcing the law against gambling, and which the board made a preteme of investigating, culminated this afternoon in the board adopting a resolution suspending further investigation and referring the whole matter to the grand jury. Whether the grand jury take the matter up or not it is likely to be pretty well ventilated, for six suits have grown out of it and if they are brought to trial the true inwatdness of the cases and the bottom facts as to why gambling houses are permitted to run under the existing law-will no doubt be brought out. Three of these suits are brought by ex Governor Johnson, one against Morgan Boland, ex-police "making a false affidavit, one against the board of police commissioners and Chief of P- lice Kennett, for giving circulation to the sffi-davits of Boland end Black, which were defamatory of Johnson's character, and for which he asks damages in the sum ot $50,000.

The other suits are one by Frank J. Bowman attorney for Chief ot Police Kennett against The Post-Dispatch, for criminal libel, one by Chief ot Police Kennett against the same paper for crim nal libel, and one by John H. Maxon, one of the police cooamissioners, against The brlobe-Democrat for libel, and damage in the sum of A good deal ef interes; has been excited in tlrs affair, and a very considerable number of reputable citizens hope that all the facts in the: case will be brought out. The board of police commissioners is composed of some ot the best men in the city, but notwithstanding this and the fact that the keeping of gambling house in 'he city is a felony under the present law, gambling is carried on with impunity.

It i understood that, an additional case of embezzlement, amounting to $40,000, has been found against Captain Howgate, and the matter to be laid before the grand jury. is to be or to "Washington, D. November 14. The case of Charles Guiteau, President Garfield's asesin, 'was called ujj promptly at? 10 o'clock this morning in the criminal court, Judge Cox on the "bench. The prisoner looked much better than on his former npiarar.ce In court; still he had the same restless, furtive cxprefcsicn which characteriitd him before.

One of his first movements was to stick his hand in his pocket and pull oat a roll of papers. At thi3 juncture, Leigh Robinson, associate council for the defense, moved for a continuance cf the case as Le wanted to get additior.f.1 counsel, and also have three more witnes.e who could not be here at this time. Tiis motion took Guiteau and Seoville, his original counsel, by Mirprif-e, and the latter threatened to leave the case ur.lt-is the defense could get along harmoniously, denouncing Robin Bon's ac tion as an unprecedented proceeding. Guileau aho managed to say a good deal at intervals, smd in a very excited manner, to the effect that he wanted Robinson to get out of the case, fccoviiie tried to get him to keep quiet, when he informed him that he (Guiteau was a lawyer, and knew the law, and proposed to conduct the case i intel f. The deputy marshals trying to pud hiui down, he informed them that he know what he was doing and told them to mind their own business.

This performance was kept up for some time, when linally Judge Cox stopped it all bv that the case should go on without any unnecessary delay, saying that 'it is an important trial, and it thould proceed without delay, and I intend it shall proceed." Tim vork of obtaining a jury was tli begun, live being selected, when the parel was exhausted and the court adjourned, ordering a panel of seventy-live additional ium.es, to be drawn out the boxiu the morning.

Stewart, Hour and teeel dealer; Henry S. Rignt, re-tired from business; Thomas II. Langiey, grocer. Guiteau bad a speech carefully prepared and written out, which he wanted to make to influence the public, bat the court remarked that this was not the time for such speech. In his speech Guiteau says that he is clmrgtei with murdering Pr-sident Garlield, and that nothing cn be more absurd ttian this charge.

After the ushers had exercise! the right of selection and had admitted two or three score of weli-elressed, respectable looking people, including a Pennsylvania mem her of congress appointed hy the ladies, the doors were thrown open and there was a sudden impetuous influx of representatives of the rough elements of society.

INDIAN AFFAIRS- Good Iteeommenelations From tlie Interor Department. Washington, D.

November 15. The annaal report of the secretary of the interior is largely devoted to a fresh discussion of. the Indian question. The secretary strongly recommends that a liberal provision be made by congress for teaching the Indian youth our language, and that upon such terms to the Indians the number and area of existing reservations will be greatly reduced: that in such reservations as are not well adapted to farming without irrigation efforts be made to teach the Indians to become herdsmen, instead of endeavoring to work them as farmers; that Indian titles to re duced reservations be individualized and thoroughly protected by law, and that the more reservation Indians be encouraged to abandou their tribal relations by setting up experimental forms of local government among them, as nearly alike as may be to the system of the county government prevailing in the states or territories, in which the reservations are respectfully located.
