Crook says the Sioux have three fighting men to his one, but when the fifth cavalry and other re inforcements on the road arrive, ho has no doubt of his ability to whip them. If you want to make a Democrat look sour ask him if he has seen Greeley's letter to Tilden. Greeley Is good authority with Democrats, as he was not long ago their candidate, and they see the point at once. The Chicago Inter-Ocean in a care ful and reasonable review of the sta tistics of increase of population in the United States, estimates the popula tion at the present time to be 4G.2S4,--344 ; and that at the close of the pres ent declining decade, 1S79, the popu lation will be 50,709,783. At Freedom, Pu., a small town on the Ohio river at the junction of Crow run with the river; a heavy rainstorm occurred on the 14th, which caused a part of the town to be inundated and great destruction of property. The house of Thos. Iiighthill was swept away, and Mrs. L. and her four children, who wero in ..the building, were drowned. Col. Ingersoll, who made the great speech for Mr. Blaine, at the Cincin nati convention is an atheist and infi deL We once read a book written by him. The first chapter commenced with the words, "An honest God is the noblest work of man." That book Is as full of vivid flashes of thought and apparently incontrover tible reasoning as was his Blaine speech. A party of nine miners from Bur lington; Iowa, at work in a dry gulch in the Black Hills, the latter part of June wero pounced upon by Indians and seven of tho nine killed. Two men named Hanscome and Gook es caped. The murdered men were ter ribly mutilated and scalped, their hy draulic engines and machinery all burned or otherwise destroyed, nine horses taken and a thousand pounds of provisions.

( ! ) Democratic papers, and the present Democratlo platform claim for that party that it has always been tho leading advocate of free and popular education ! How long has it been that more than one half the Demo cratic States In tho Union went so far on this subject as to announce by plank In their platform, opposition to any such measure. This was so In many of the States up to as late a date as the commencement of the war. The Democratlo party, as a party, is not in favor of popular education, and the people know it. The Hams Kene3aw Times, Prof. Wil- paper, believes In hangln; murderers murder for murder and that if courts will not do the hanging mobs ought to do It. It characterizes "some in editorial chairs," as "sickly sentimentalists," those who do not believe in hanging nor mobs. "Sick ly sentimentalists" is old, very old on the list of modest sarcasms. The originator of that fearful epithet has been dead no doubt about a thousand years, and the Prof, can safely use it without tho use of quotation points or objection from tho author. We are a "sickly sentimentalist,'' or else the Prof, lies ; for we do not believe In murder for murder, legal or by mobs. A newspaper could not be put to a worse.or more dangerous purpose than the encouraging of mobs, or defend ing them or excusing them In any manner. When a citizen has arrest ed a desperado or criminal and placed him within reach of the power and " penalty of the law, he has discharged the whole duty he owes to himself and his country, and when he goes farther than that and resorts to lynch Jaw, such a proceeding is alwayB prompted by a dangerous, devilish feeling akin to that which the sm.ell - j.M.BasCCTara?nr,....Ji i !V.. rzzzsmz ZS225SC33: of blood excites in the ferocious tiger and causes him to tear and rend his victim. We have no idea that a but ter feeling everprompted mob violence amongst a people with good-laws am ple for the sefety of all. The plank iu tho Democratic plat form referring to soldiers and sailors is peculiarly constructed, and deserves attention. We quote: licsolvcsl. That the soldiers of the re jntblic, and the widows and orphans of ttiose tvho have fallen in batllc, havo a joint claim upon the care, protec tion, and gratitude of their fellow citizens. The convention which conceived and adopted this resolution was made up of elements which represented both rebel and Union soldiers and sailors of the republic, and tho reso lution was made to embrace- all and does embrace all the confederates as well as the union soldiers of the re public, "and tho widows and orphans of those who havo fallen in 'battle havo a joint claim upon the care," &,c. Whether they be tho orphans and widows of federal or confederate soldiers they "havo a joint claim up on the care and protection and grati tude of their fellow citizens." No dis tinction or preference expressed in that reslution for union soldiers. The rebels of that Democratic convention promise their confederate comrades and the widows and orphans of those fallen in battle, the gratitude and pro tection of the republic and all the benefits that are now bestowed upon the union soldier and his widow and orphan. A different resolution on the subject could not have had a happy reception in that convention. The Democracy are on tho record with boldness they place themselves on the record In favor of making no dis tinction between rebel and union sol diers. Hpw different Is the corresponding plank In the Republican platform. It Is as follows: The pledges which the nation has given to our soldiers and sailors must bo fulfilled.. The grateful people will always hold those wlio periled their lives for the country's jwcscrvalion in the kindest remembrance. It is to tho Republican party alone that the country must look to to save it from shouldering the expenses of paying rebel pensions and bounties, and tho rebel debt, and the claims, including claims for every released slave. Democracy in the slight flush of victory within the last year or so have been bold in showing their in tentions ; the do not even keep them out of their platform, and node need be deceived. Samuel J. Tildon as Stnffer. a Unllot-liox In 1SG3 when Grant first run for for President, the following letter in the form of a printed circular from Mr. Tilden was Eeut to leading Demo crats In every county and important locality in the state of New York : K001IS DEMOCRATIC STATU COMMITTEE, October i7, lies. J My Deak Sir : Please at once to communicate with some reliablo per son in three or four principal towns and in each city of your county, and tell him (expenses duly arranged for at this end) to telegraph to William M Tweed, Tammany Hall, at the minute of closing tho polls, not wait ing for the count, such person's esti mate of the vote. Let .the telagraph boas follows: "This town will show a Democratic gain (or loss) over last year of (number)." Or this one, insufficiently certain: "This town, will give a Republican (or Democrat ic) majority of ." There is, of course, an important object to be at tained by a simxdtaneous transmission at the hour of closing the )olls, but no longer waiting. Opportunity can be taken of the usual half-hour lull In telegraphlo communication over lines before accurate results begin to be de clared, and beforo tho Associated Press absorb the telegraph with re turns and Interfere with individual messages, and give orders to watoh carefully the count. Very truly, yours, Samuel J. Tilden, Chairman. Why was Mr. Tilden so anxious to have Mr Tweed, of Tammany Inform ed of the "estimate of tho vote" at the thousands of voting places within New York ? Why was it so essential that Mr Tweed should know such es timates "at the minute of closing the polls?" "Expenses duly arrauged for" by Mr. Tweed and Mr. Tilden machinery in perfect order, greased by Tilden's "bar'l of monej'," and Tweed's two barrels of money, stolen from the laboring people of New York. Why this circular, and systematic movement to find out the probable losses and gains to the Democrats, after tho polls were closed, after all honest voters had voted and honestly decided who wero elected, although the vote had not been counted and the verdict not yet known ? Mr. Til den says, ''There is of course an im portant object to be attained.11 This object was to know how many votes would havo to bo stuffed to secure the state beyond doubt to tho Democracy how many votes must bo manufac tured by Tweed, Tilden and Tam many to over ride the honest vote of tho State. This circular was private and in tended to have been kept a profound secret, but murder will out, "and Hor ace Greeley was so amazed at the brazen frauds perpetrated under the leadership of Tilden, Tweed & Co. that he, In an open letter accused the ringmaster, and Mr. Tilden never to this day has denied the damaging charges of Mr. Greelej'. The follow ing Is an extract from Mr. Greeley's letter: Mr. Tilden, 3-ou cannot escape re sponsibility by saying, with the guil ty Macbeth, "Thou can'st not say I did It; never shake Those gory Jocks at me !'' for you were at least a passive accom plice in the great frauds of last No vember. Your name was used, with out publlo protest on your part, in circulars sown broadcast over the State, whereof the manifest intent was to "make assurance doubly sure" that the frauds here perpetrated should not be overborne by tho honest vote of the rural districts. And you, not merely by silence, but by positive as sumption, have covered those frauds with the mantle of your rsespectabil- ity. On the principal that "the re ceiver is as bad as tho thief," you ore as deeply implicated in them to-day as though your name were Tweed, O'Brien or Oakey Hall. tfCyWfBL And though our city has largely in creased its population, the lower wards wore quito us populous then (1S40) as they are to-day, heveral of them"nioro so. ' .-";; ,.Now look at the. vote of four of theseward3 iu 1S10 aud ISoS, respect ively: President 1810. Governor Ji'GS. 1 wards. I 4.79'$ '5.621 Jil) J 2rt,2S3 Van Buien's majority, 72S: Hoff- man's majority, 17,443. Mr. Tilden, yon know what this contrast attests." Right well do 3011 comprehend the means whereby the vote of 1SGS was thus swelled nut of all proportions. There aro not 12,000 Ipgal voter? living In those wards to day, tboueh they gave Hoffman 17, 443 majority. . No man doubts tho truth of tho statements and accusations contained in this celebrated letter ; and being true they brand Samuel J. Tilden aa guilty of complicity in frauds upon the ballot-box sufficient, if proven, to consign him to the penitentiary. And yet he is the chosen candidate of the Democracy for the Presidential office! Indian News. Gen. Crook lias finally b?en heard from. Those rumors about disasters to his command were false. lie la all right. But tho general tenor of tho news from tho Indian war is, that Crook, Terry, and nil our soldiers confronting Sitting Bull, havo their hands full, and so far in the struggle have lost much more than they havo gained. The Indians so raanago to control the war as to gain advantages over the eoldiers at every encounter. A dispatch from Crook's camp says that the Indians hover about and fire into the camp every day. On the Gth inst. a scout of twenty-five men went out to reconnoitre; they were at once discovered by the Indians, surround ed, or nearly so, and only escaped by leaving their horses aud slipping away in a convenient friendly-ravine. The men all escaped, but left their horses and baggage as prizes to the Indians. The soldiers begin to real ize that there is work to do, and not Indian squaws and children to pun ish. In the village on the Big Horn where Custar was killed, kegs of whiskey were fouud, and other evi dences of the presence of white men with tho Indians. Tho Chicago Times' Bismarck spec ial says: The impression prevails here. that the military authorities do not realize the work they havo to do. The Indi ans in hostile cauips are believed to number at least ten thousand, and while there are many wonen and children, nearly all of these are effec tive In a campaign. There are cer tainly five to seven thousand Indians, who can and will fight until subdued, and the fate of Custer should be a warning that they intend to make thorough work, and have confidence in their ability to do it. Two hundred Snake Indians re cently joined Crook's command. The hostiles are saucy and defiant. The victorious Sioux dressed in the clothes of Custer's mon, and riding their horses, recently approached a part of Gibbon's command aud boldly fired Into it, and rode away with savage yells of deliancee. Sitting Bull an.d his braves feel confident of evading or repelling the soldiers, and will doono or tbe other as suits them, while Crcoh and Terry are encamped far apart, neither havingsufficicnt force to move on the enemy or invite a fight. Uncle jbain mut send out more men, or this campaign will terminate in a misera ble failure. It is very interesting to examine the accounts under the several admin istrations. 'The report commences with General Jackson, and it will be seen that the defalcations In General Grant's administration, notwithstan ding the constant Democratic howl of "thief, thief!'' have been infinitely less than those under any other Pres ident. The losses to the government under Van Buren were by far the lar gest, being more than double those of any other administration. The losses on every $1,000 of dis bursements were, in the administra tion of Jackson, $10.55; Van Buren, $21.15; Harrison, (or Tyler) $10.37; Polk, $8 34; Taylor aud Fillmore, $7.G4 ; Pierce, $5.8G ; Buchanan, near ly $G.9S ; Lincoln, $1.41; Johnson, 48 cents ; Grant, tho first four years, 40 cents,; tho second four years, 20 cents. This is exclusive of tho Postoffico, which administers its own revenue. In ths Postofiice the loss has gone down from $11. IS on tho $1,000 in Jackson's administration, and$2G.19 in Van Buren's, to $1.59 for the first term of Grant, and $1.01 for the seo-' ond, with an average of $3.51 for the whole period. The first reports regarding Custer's fight and death, say his body was not mutilated; that tho "noble red man' had such respect for tho dashing yellow-haired chief as to leave him un touched in his quiet repose as he fell upon the field of battle. Hostile Indians, however, who wero in tho fight say that this was not the case; that Custer was killed by a chief call ed Rain-in-the-face, that Rain-in-the-face cut Custer's heart out and carried it on the point of a pole. While it was gratifying to think that tho handsome 'form of tho brave man might not have been gashed with In dian butcher knives, or "all haggled o'er" with the dull stone tomahawk, "where In gore he lay insteeped," it is unreasonable to suppose Sitting Bull's warriors to have left any such mark of refined or generous respect for auj' white foe however bravo and meritorious. If Custer was not scalp ed and mutilated it was because the Indians had not on opportunity to so wreak such savage vengence upon his dead body. And as they had am ple time and opportunity before Terry and Gibbon approached the scene of the massacre, we must conclude that the comely form of Custer met with the usual savage treatment, and that his long silken scalp-locks now dang le against the breechclout of some haughty painted chief. Dom Pedro, gone home. king of Brazil, has ZBSSSfESSEg&ZSSS?', i : The President's Letter to Ex-Sccrc-iary Bristow. r BXEC17T.IVF MANSIOJf, WASHINGTON, Jaly"mii, 157(5. J To tho Hon. B.IL Bristow: Dear Sir: Through the press I leani-that the committee of Congress investigating the whisky frauds have summoned you as a witness, and that you,fwith great propriety, as I think, have declined to testify, claiming that what occurs in the Cabinet or between a member of the Cabinet and the Executive officially is privileged, and that a committee of Congress has no right to demand an answer. I ap preciate the position 3'ou have assum ed on this question.'but beg to relieve you from all obligations of secrec3 on this subject, ond desire not onl3' that 3'ou roa3T answer all questions asked relating to it, but vish that all mem bers of my Cabinet and ex-members of the Cabinet since I have been Pres ident may also bo called upon to tes tify in regard to the samo matters. With great respect, your obedient ser vant. TJ. S. Grant. The above letter explains itself. If Mr. -Bristow, as he is charged with doing, pretended by his mysterious airs that the President tried to obstruct investigation of whisky frauds, this letter unseals his lips, and ho may dis penso with his magnanimity and tell all he knows. IIo declines however to go beforo the committee agnin, and .has been relived of tho duty of doing so by tho chairman, on account of a private fetter written to the commit tee asking not to be .recalled because he knows nothing moreii'au what ho told. Had his examination continued it would have been shown th.t tho President was the moving cause of the destruction of the whis ky ring, and tho man to whom the credit is due from the country for the great reformation in that respect. Signal Triumph for Hayes Predicted. Under such circumstances, it seems unlikely that Governor Tilden will be elected unless Governor Hayes throws tho battle away. If the Re publican nominee, by his letter of 00 ceptance or in any other manner, should head the peoplo to believe that his election would be the continuation of Grautlsm of tho rule of the Senator ial Ring, if he should falter in his po sition on tho currency question, if he should show a leaning toward the corrupt and disgraced elements of the Republican party which the people have so strenuously repudiated, a can didate like Mr. Tilden might easily beat him, But we havo no anticipa tion of such a misfortune. Under tho leadership of the honest, straightfor ward, popular, and accomplished Ohio Governor wo lcok for a signal tri umph of that party which, in spite of all Its errors, Is still the safest to be trusted with the honor and material welfare of the United States. New York Tribune. Since the above appeared In the Tribune Mr. Hayes' letter of accept once has been published, and it pleas es the Tribune well. It thinks the Republican candidate has not endang ered the Republican ship bj' running afoul of any of the rocks pointed out by that fastidious independent jour nal, and it. is therefore enthusiastic for Hayes and Wheeler. The Tribune has the largest circulation of any po litical paper in the United States, and its influence is perhaps greater than any other. S. S. Cox. who lias always hereto fore been considered a good enough Democrat, was at the St. Louis con vention as a spectator, but being call ed on for a speech said among other ambiguities said : Who shall stand in the holy places, who shall stand as our great chief ex ecutive in this centennial year? Who shall stand to offer the sacrifice? ("Cries of Tilden, Hendricks, Hancock, etc., with which cries Mr. Cox did not agree. Well, my fellow citizens, I will give von tho answer In the lan- eiiace of Scripture. The answer of the Psalmist is this, and he is my man for President: " He. that hatha pure heart and clean hands1' It is not for this meeting, altogether, to name a man. It is thought from these remarks that Mr. Cox Is for Hayes and Wheel er. mm . -i Tho Irish TForM, a Democcratic Catholic paper, printed in New York, referring to the Democratio platform adopted at St Louis, don'tthink much of the financial plank, and says : Not many of our readers, after pe rusing this document, will be able to tell where precisely the party stands with regard to tho financial issue. It was on thi3 point that the onl3 real contest of tho Platform Committee occurred the other portions having been disposed of with little difficulty. All the comments, defenses and vindications written does not change the fact that the cause of the gallent Custer's terrible defeat was disobedi ence of orders, an under estimate of the Indian strength and on over esti mate of his own. A man named Ha3Twood Grant was hung at Rome, Ga., for arson on the 14th. He confessed to having killed four men, one of whom was tho con federate General, Hindman.

I do not deem It nec essar3T to enter upon nn3' extensive examination of tho declaration of principles made by tho convontion. These resolutions aro in accord with mr views, and I heartily concur in the principles which the3 anuounce. In in several of the resolutions, however, questions aro considered, which aro of so much importance that I deem it proper to express my convic tions in regard to thorn. Tho fifth resolution adopted by the convention is of paramount interest. More than thirty 3'ears ago a system of making appointments to office grew up, based on tho maxim "To the victor belougs the spoils." Tho old rule, tho true rule, the rule that honesty, capacity and fidelity.constituto tho only real qualifications for the office, gave place to the idea that party service were to be chieil3T considered. All parties in practice have adopted this 83'stem. It has been modified since its intro duction; it lias not, however, been Improved. At first the president, either directly or through the heads oi the departments, made the appoint ments, but gradually tho appointing power ju many cases passed into con trol of members of congress. The of fices in theS? cases havo become not merel3' rewards for party services, but rewards for se ylees to part3' leaders. This s-stem destroys the independ ence of the separate departments of the government. It tends directly to extravogavtoe; it is a temptatiou to dishonesty; it hinders and impairs that careful su pervision and strict accountability by which nlone faithful and efiicient pub lic service can besecured : it obstructs tho prompt removal and sure punish ment of officers unwortli3r in ever3' va3 ; it degrades civil service and the character of tho government; it is felt I am confident by n large majorl of the membors of congress, an intol erable burden and unwarranted hin drance to the proper discharge of their legislative duties, and ought to bo abolished. The reforms should bQ brought ubout, though gradual j'et complete. Wo should return to the principles of the founders of the gov ernment, Huppty by legislation, when needed, that which was former!; es tablished by custom. They neither expected nor desired from public offi cers un3' partisan service; they meant that an officer should serve in his ten ure as long ns bis pergonal character remained untarnished and tho per formance of his duties were satisfacto ry ; if elected I shall conduct the ad ministration of (he government upon theso principles, and ail constitution al powers vested in the executive will be employed to establish this reform. Tho declaration of principles by the Cincinnati convention makes no an nouncement in favor of a single pres idential term. I do not assume to add to that declaration, but believing that restoration of the civil service to the s3-stem established by Washington and followed b3' early presidents can best be accomplished b3' an executive who is under no -temptation to use the patronage of his office to promote his re-election,'! rt'eslre to perform" what I regard as a dut3 in stating now 1113' inflexible purpose if elected, not to lie a candidate for election to a second term. On tho currenc3" question T hove frequent expressed my views in public, and I stand l3' ray record on this subject. I rpgarti all laws of the United States relating to the paj'tnont of indebtedness and the legal tender, ns constituting a pledge, a moral obli gation on the government, which must In good faith bo kept. It is m' conviction that a feeling of uncertain ty' inseparable from an irredeemable paper currency with fluctuations of value is one of the great obstacles to a return of prosper' ; thatuncertain ty can bo ended in but one way re sumption of specie pa3ment; but the longer tho instnbility connected with our present money S3'stem Is permit ted to continue, the greater will be the injury inilicted upon our entire interests and all classes of societ3 If elected, I shall approve of over3 ap propriate measure to accomplish the desired end, and shall opposso ai3' steps backward. The resolution with respect to the public school question is one which should receive the heart' support of tho Americau people. Agitation upon thi3 subject is to bo npprehended until b a constitutional, amendment the schools are placed beyond all dan ger of control or interference. The republican party is pledged to secure such amendment. The resolution of the convention on tho subject of paci fication of tho countr' and tho com plete protection of citizens in the free enjoymout of nil their rights is tinie- 1' one of great importance. Tho condition of the Southern States attracts attention and commands the sympathies of the people of the whole Union in their progressive recover' from theeflectsof tho war. Their first necssity is an intelligent and honest administration which will protect all classes of citizens in all their social and private rights. What the South most needs is permanent peace. That depends upon the upremac3' of the law. There can bo no enduring peace if tho constitutional rights of an' portion of the people aro habituall' disregarded. A division of political parties resting merely upon the dis tinctions of race or upon sectional lines Is always unfortunate, and may be disastrous. Tho welfare of the South, aliko with that of any other part of the country, depends upon tho attractions iff can offer to labor and Immigration and capital, but laborers will not go and capital, will not bo ventured where constitution and laws are set at defiance, and distraction, apprehension and alarm take tho place of peace-loving and law-abiding social life. All parts of the constitu tion are sacred and must be sacredly observed ; tho parts that are new, no les3 than parts that are old. Tho mor al and material prosperity of tho southern states can the most effectual ly advanced by a hearty and generous recognition of the rights of nil by nil ; a recognition without reserve or ex ception; with such recognition fully accorded, it will be practicable to pro mote by influence of all tho legitimate agencies of tho government, the ef forts of tho people of those States to obtain for themselves blessings of honest and capable local government. If elected I shall consider it not on ly my duty, but my ardent desire, to labor for the attainment of this end. Let mo assure my countrymen of tho Southern States that if I shall be charged with the dut' of organizing an administration, It will regard and 1 cherish the truest interest of the white and colored people, both equal ly, and which will put forth Its best, efforts In behalf of tho civil service; which will wipe out forever tho dis- ,.K?rWL"m"-'-"-ip-j vr-.n-JL 'jj - tinction between the North and South in our common countrj'. .With n civil service organized upon a system which will secure purit-, experience, ofiiciejicy and economy, actual regard for pub! c welfare, os tho policy in ap pointments, and the speedy, thorough prosecution and punishment of all public olncers wno neira3T oiucini trusts: with sound currency, wun education unscctorlan and free to ev ery One alike, with simplicity and frugality in private afiairsand with a fraternal spirit of harmony prevail ing among people of nil sections and classes, we maj reasonabl- hope that the second centennial of our existence aaa nation will, by tho blessing of l . 1 God. be permanent as an era 01 goon 'taVHrioriiTfl'si -neflbd'of nrnsnerity and happiness.

Letters wero re ceived here to-dny. from Albany and Saratoga, detailing the circumstances of an interview between Tilden and Hendricks at Saratoga, and democrats here confess that Tilden cannot writo such a letter of acceptance as he desires to and have Hendricks for a portner. Hendricks has said that if Tilden ex presses himself honestly for hard mon ey ho will decline the nomination, ami he will ofTend many of his best friends and supporters if he does not make a positive declaration in favor of hard money. There is a great deal of concern here among democratic leaders on ac count of theso differences, and both candidates are being appealed to to compromise. The Tribune's New York special says: Later information from Sarato ga" shows an irreconcilable difference between Tilden and Hendricks. Among those consulted wore Isaac Sherman, David Wells, and Park Goodwin, who had been urging Til den to make a bold strike for hard money voters and to step outside the platform and pronounce for early re sumption. Goodwin sajs that tho man is the platform, and he. Wells t;nd Sherman havo brought Tilden al most to beliovoit. Hendricks was dis gusted' with this sort of talk, and it is snid high words passed between ho and Sherman. Sherman told Hen drloks that unless Tilden cut entirely loose from him and out hid Hny on the currency question, Tilden and he would be beaten as badly as Greele3' and Brown. Dcmocrntic Blundorim The Democrats are, after all our boat allies. If tho Republicans are ever weak in any point, the formor gener ously come forward and strengthen the latter. In 1SG4, instead of advo cating a simple change of policy in the prosecution of tho war, they de clared the war to be a failure, and nominated the incarnation of failure for President. In 3808 they took up Seymour on a repudiation platform, and absolutely frightened thousands into voting for Grant who might oth erwise havo preferred a civilian. In 1872 they capped the climax by nom inating, on a platform that meant nothing, a man .who, up to a few months previous had been their bit terest enemy, aud who lost them more votes than he gained. Now they have repeated their foJ'y, and will meet with a defeat besides which their otiior failures will seem victo ries. There can bo no dubt of this. If the Republicans of this country could havo made the nominations and platform at the St Louis Convention, thy would not h'nvo oimngod thm. in tho least. The' botli mean utter and overwhelming do- feat to tho Democrac'. Tho platform alone, declaring as it substantially does in favor of immediate and conse quently forced resumption of specie payments, is enough In itself to beat the part' adopting it. Take In con nection with this, Mr. Tilden's un popularity' in the Weet, ami the bit- ter animosity that exista against him in tho ranks of his own party Ka.st, and the (wo will make up a hind un der which he will stagger and event ually go down. Intcr-Occnn. Of Interest to Soldiers. Jotin Jjana, a sergeant in company H, 20th Indiana volunteers, has juot received an answer to an inquiry ad dressed to the adjutant general at Washington, concerning the course to be pursued where tho discharge pa pers have been lost. Mr. Dickey in advertantly lost his and wished to file on a soldiers' homestead, an.d wrote to headquarters requesting a duplicate discharge that he might present it to the land office. The adjutant-general in reply stated that a homestead entrj' under tho soldiers' act could not bo made on a duplicate discharge. Application for land in such instances must be made to tho general land commissioner. The orig inal must be preserved. Although the loss of such papers is rate, this precedent may be of interest. Kear ney Press. Vhal the Indians say. Bismarck, July 12. A gentleman who is reliable, just in from Stand ing Hock, soya several Indians have como iu from Sitting JJull, one of whom is wounded. They say there were nine bands engaged, and of tiicse tho Uncpapas alone lost 1G0 kill ed and many wiuuded. 2ine chiefs were killed, among them Crazy Horse, or I3Iack Moon. Sitting Bull is third in rank and inlluence, Black Moon being first and Crazy Horse second. The Indian of whom our reporter gained the information says there were so many Indians engaged he could not count them, and that they lost more than Custer. Some of the older chiefs realize tho consequences that will follow this massacre, aud aro very much depressed, but the young fellows are very deliaut. The Reservation Open. Dr. J. J. Savlllo received a telegram Saturday from SenatorHltohcook, an nouncing that the Fort Kearney mil itary reservation bill, aa originallv re ported in tho senate by Senator Hitch cock and slightly amended by Sena tor Paddock, had passed the house on Friday. It permits of either home steads, or pre-emptions nc the mini mum price, the same as all the other government land. All settlers who were there prior to June 1st, 1S76, are entitled to the quarter Eection they are on, and all actual settlers are en titled to a quarter-section, under the usual jirovisiona. Senators Hitch cock and Paddock are receiving the expressions of recard from all our people. Kearney Press. TIic Liberals for Hayes and "Wheeler.

But the source of this revenue Is now in a confused and unsettled con dition. The law controlling the care and sale of the lands, and the invest ment. of tho moue3's, is exceedingly defective. The people need now, more than at any futuro time, a man of. wisdom, experience and integrity, to lay tho foundation, to suggest a system that will give to tho State per fect security in its sales and Invest ments. The right man must be sought, regardless of party and local feelings. The people cannot afford to allow any consideration to outweigh tho one of eminent fitness for the po sition. There aro many competent men spoken of for this position ; but there is one, a quiot, unobtrusive man, who never ha3 sought publio favor, a man whose business for the past seven years hos given him n schooling cal culated to fit htm eminently for tills position; that man is William, Adair, of Dakota-City. The people will do well to scrutin ize carefully the private and public character of their servants before plac ing them in responsible positions. William Adair's oharacter will bear the test. . - Veritus. its come ! The divine afflatus Ik working. See what a moment can bring forth!

It is very evi dent from the harried manner in whieh Tilden and Hendricks left Sar atoga that the meeting was not a har monious one, and that there aro wide diilerences between them on tho cur rency question, which may oblige Hendricks to repudiate Tilden or peacefully withdraw, from the ticket Since the news of the passnjje of Hitchcock's reservation bill through the eenatethe excitement over takiujr claims is about as great as It was last r summer, and parties aro Iinving claims surveyed on thn island just south of town and are building on them quite rapidly.
