Ti e Queen's Fpeeeh announces the speedy dissolution of Parliament to ascertain the feeling of the people in regard to grant ng home rale in Ireland.

FIHASGIAL ATOHDUSTBIAL. The Lake Score switchmen in the vicinity of Cli cago quit work last week because eight non-union men have not been d echarged, in
accoi-Jance with a pledge made to them by Sheriff Hanchett ea ly in May. The strikers derailed a number of freight cars and delayed passenger tiains. The police had to r-sort to
their t lute to prevent greater damage. The
riilroad oScials are firm in their detenuinatici :o fight to th3 end.

with railroa 1 officials, imported switchmen, polioemen, and reporters; and the exchange of pistil-snots for heavy iron eonpling-pins, bricks, and lumps of coat The pistol-shots wef ; fired by Matt Pnrterton and four officers on the platform of the rear caboose, and the iron miss le3 and coal were hurled from the toping tender of the Nickel-Plato engine, Which was slig jt y in advance of the Milwaukee one, and running tender first At Grand Crossing the Lake Shore engines were obliged to come to a standstill The pursuing engine wa reversed, but not one second too soon, and, as it was, it went crashing into the caboose with sufficient force to ttiri.w a number of men from the tender and drive tho train forty or fifty feet forward. The instant tha colision took place the strikers wanned out upon the tracks and took possession of the La -e Shore engines and cabooses, and they were then d awn back to Chicago. Vaat nisn on tire promising engine were shot, but none dangerously. A large number of strikers were arrested.

Obstructing; the Payment of Pensions to Soldiers in tha Interest of the Democratio Party. The action of tho Democratic House of Representatives upon the appropriation I ill which provides for the oj.penses of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of tho Government has ben very significant, as illustrating Ihe disposition of Hie Democrats to m ke all they can out of the Goemni nt, now that they have secured the offices. They keep up tho old cry of "reform," but vole down every proposition pointing in that direction. In conver-a-lion with n Washington correspondent. Keprose.jtat ve Caunou. of Illinois, who is

and the salarios havo-beeu reduced btlow the statutory figures. But this Congress,
in celebrate tho restoration of the Demo
cratic pa ty to iower, has stricken out those
woi ds and has raised tne salaries 10 aero they wero when the D ?moerats got the control' of Congress. The boot is on the other foot now. and they am uot so anxious about curtailiu!! expenses. "The rule the Democrats adopted at the beginning of the Forty-fourth Congress," continue i Mr. Cannon, "and which lias remained cm t' e bookfi until the present session, was that it should uot be iu order upon any appropriation bill to change the existing' law oxoejit when it would reduce Ihe expenses of the Government. At the commencement of the present session this qualification was stricken out, and Utile '21 was chanced so as to prohibit all legislation
whatever that ehang-rt existing law on
up

of Democratic offiee-ho'ders, to protect them against Ihe old Democratic doctrine of retrenchment mid reform that we have heard about so much, ami now, as soon as tho bill to appropriate money for
the Bahiries of Government omciats comes up iu the House, Colonel Morrison arises in his seat, brings out the modified rules, and inakes a point of order ayiinst tho words 'in full compensation,' which represent all the niiik in the toeoanut, arguing that they canno: be placed in the appropriation bill bocauso they chi.nge the exist ng law. The point of order was sustained by Mr. Blount, of Georgia, who was in the chair, and thus the salaries of all officials were restored to where Hiey were when the rebel brigadiers came into power ton years ago. The following list shows a portion of the officials
whose salaries wero reduced iu 1876, and

They whj have had their nainnos put up will not bo sorry, because they will have the credit of malting a redncl.on iu the ex-

is statesmanship. "The Democratic Committee on Appro

salary or a retineetl tne rorco iu iue rcuinuii Uflb-e, doing nwnywith 150 clerks. That was objected to on ihe lfrpuhlican side by
myself and others because we tnnK m-u thera ouuht to be an iuorense inste id of a
decrease in the wo king force of tho Pension
Office, so that the claims of thousands ot
old soldiers, and tho widows of old soldicis, th.it have been waiting for years for pensions that are justly due them could bo
paietl upon. 1 bnveniged mat roesociaims must some time bo examined, and that the sooner they are disposed of the better it wil , 00 for the Pension Office and the Government. It will cost no more to examine them this venr tli :tn it will next, and to cnt
down the force of exaniii ers simply post
men for an indefinite tune a certa u uumei of claims th it ought to be adjudicated.
Tho delay is nn injure to the old soldiers,
and is no economy to tho Government.
Another noint which I have repeatedly
culled attention fo, is that it is costing
tho Pension Office nnd kindred om es at the rate of live millioii dollais per aunnm and over tojfransact the business in connection with the al
lowance and payment of pensions, most of which is spent in obstructing claimants iu the allowance of their claims. The tiouble is that wc justly owe u great many soldiers
of the lata war pensions w no can not mane
the techuical proof required by thePmion Office to sta! lish (heir claims. It is time for Congress lo clear away the technicalit es and obstructions created by the practice of the Pension Office which keep so ma y men who deserve pensions off tho pension roll. The tendency on the part of some of tho employes of the office is to obstruct or postpone the allowance of claims, for the moment this business is disposed oil their occupation is gone, and they would have to find other employment. The Kepublicaa Senate has performed its duty by passing a bill that provides that every soldiir of the late war who saw three months' service and was honorably discharged, and is or shall become disabled from anv cause, and is dependent upon his own exertions for support, and has no others aot legally bound to support him, shall have his name written upon the pension rolls. The responsibility is upon the House. The Bepublican side of the Hotise is ready and anxious to pass the bill, and I said to the Democratic side of the House: You arc in the saddle, you have the majority, and if you won't pass this bill, or assis't us to pass it, you will, and ought to, receive the condemnation of the
country. If we nass this bill, wo can 60on
discharge a larce nart of the force in
the Pension Office, which now constitutes,
in one dense, a civil pens iou list, and pay the money to the soldiers who are entitled
to it. "I ah called attention to other branches
of the Government in wldeh I think there

One is ihe. Labor Bureau. This bureau is

but facts. We can niuke our own theories,
hut we require facts. Ihts year, for tne first time, the Commissioner of the Labor
Korean submits au estimate for his force,
and an appropriation of about $90,000 is asked. The committee recommended less than half that sum. The Chief of the Bu
reau w:s before us unci made a clear and effective slatement of what he intended to do. He asked money to enable him to
make a series of investigations, but tue Democrats refused to appropriate for this purpose. He wants to niako first an investigation info the number, causes, duration, results, and other features of all strikes occurring sine aud during tho year 2. An investigiion into the hours of labor, wages paid, method of payment,

Trying to Revise History.
The brutal attack upon Secretary Stanton by rebel brigadier Wheeler, of Alabama, is Iwlieved to be but the beginning of an attoint t to rewrite the history of the war from
a Southern standpoint. His speech shows
thnt ao much labor was expended m com
niliiiL' thn facts nnd references set forth
that it is believed to hare been the work of
lunur men instead of one. there is no doubt that the Southern brigadiers, who
have never accented in c on faith the re
sults of the war, would like very much to be able to write l-. history of that per od for f utnrre geueriitions. They would begin by nrsrenreKentiuL' the position of Ihe leading

the iKinuIar ndm ration and love tor tuem
Ihfii it would be an easy sn-u iu

pursuance of this plan, Senator Brown, of fieorgia, but a few days ago, referred to the Cui'in army as an "invading army" when it went forth to nut dowu the rebellion. If the
Solid South is not only to be given free
rein to misrepresent tho trie! history of the
war. but ii also placed in charge of the of
ficial records and papers at well, 110 one can
tell in what condition the facts of that great

The tenth anniversary ot Custer's last
fight, which will be a gloomy page in Amer
ican history, was appropriately celebrated
by a few of the survivors of that dreadful June day. A special correspondent tele
graphs as follows from the scene of that dark and dreadful tragedy:
Early in the day the great Sionr Chief
Gall went over the entire field and described
in an intelligent and straightforward manner the exact place in which Custer's com
mand was destroyed. Curley, the Crow
scout, who was in.rcality the only Bnrvivor
of all who marched into the valley of the Little Big Horn with Custer, was also present, but Gall turned his back on Curley, and said: "He ran away too soon in the
fight." Gall ia a powerfull, fine-looking
specimen of the red race, 46 years old,
and weighs over two hundred pounds. He
first appeared reticent, and was inclined to
act sullen, but when he stood on the spot whieh formed the last sight of Custer on e.nrth-his dark eves lightened with fire, he
became earnestly communicative, ana ne told all he knew without restraint. His
diunified countenance spoke truthfulness,
ana there is lime aouoi uwi me wua
history of that dreadful day is at last made known. Gall's narrative was as follows: "We saw the soldiers early in the morning crossing the divide. When Reno and Custer Mmarated we watched them until
thev came down into the valley. A
erv waa raised that the white men
soldiers were coming, and orders were given for the tillage to move immediately. Beno swept down so rapidly on the upper end that the Indians were
forced to Bent. Sitting Bull and I were
at the point where Beno attacked. Sitting Bull was big medicine. The women and children were hastily moved down stream wheie the Cheyennes were camped. The Sioux attacked Reno, and the Cheyennes Custer, and then all became mixed up. The women and children caueht the horses
for the bucks to mount them; the bucks mounted and charged back Reno, and cheeked him, and drove him into the timber. The soldiers tied their horsisa to trees, and came out and fought on foot. As soon as Reno was beaivjn and driven back across the river.
the whole force turned upon Custer and fought him until they destroyed him. Cus
ter did not reach the river, bnt was met
about half a mile up a ravine, now called
Reno Creek. They fought tne soldiers ana best them back step by step until all were killed." I One of Reno's officers confirms this by saying: "Alter we were driven back to the hill where the stand was made, there was an interval of over an ho ir that we had no fighting. This gave ns an opportunity to shelter our horses in a ravine and p irtially intrench ourselves." It was probably dar
ing this interval of quiet on Reno's part
that tne Indians massea on uuter ana annihilated him. "The Indians ran out of ammunition and their arrows they fired
from behind their horses. The soldier got shells stuck in their guns and bad to throw them away. They then fought with little guns Ipistolsl- The Indians were in couples behind and in front of Custer as he moved nn the ridse to take position, and
were inst as many as the grass. The first
two companies. Keoah and Calhoun, dis
mounted, and fought on foot. They never broke, bnt retired step by step until forced back to the ridge upon which all finally perished. They were shot down in line
xrhMw thev stood. Keoch s company ral
lied bv company and were all killed
in a bnnch." This statement seems
borne out by the facts, as th.ity
eight bodies of Keogh's troopers were fnnnii niled in a heao.l "The warriors di
rected a special fire against the trooper who held the horses, while the others fought. As soon as a holder was killed, by moving hlankAta and neat shouting the horses were
stampeded, which made it impossible for the soldiers to escape. Afterward the soldiers fought despeiati ly and hard, and nnvr surrendered. They fought strong
thav fonirht in line alone the ridge. As fast
an tfriA mull fall the horses were herded and
driven toward the squaws and old men, who gathered them np. When Reno attempted to find Custer bv throwing qnt a skirmish

publicans say that the case will be brought before the Sena'e, and that it is not at all clear that the three Republicans will join
with the Democrats on the committee in
making a report against the investigation
It is suggested mat tney wi i nutse an mue pendent feport, which will state that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant the in
qfriry. The two Republicans, Hoar and Frye, it is stated by the Ohio Republicans who have been keeping a close watch on the Fnyne
ease, make a very vigorous report in favoi
of the investigation, and will cart y the tight
into the Senate. "A uu mere, s no one or the Ohio Republicans, "we expect to beat
the three Republicans who refuse to go with the other two. Doubtless the two Rennblioan members of the committee who
favor an investigation will submit to the
Senate the facts that were presented in the committee, and the Senate will order the investigation. It is possible that the three Republicans may not take -the same posi
tion in the Senate, for there is no record iu the committee whloh the public has any right to know, and it is possible that in view of the great pressure that will be brought to beav the investigation may yet
