Chandler, ch.'Jrrnan of the liepublican national committee, n auaging a reform canvass. J-tfGrant is repudiated by many Republicans, and yet these very repudiators are forced to accept a platform which endorses Grant and his administra'ion. Stranjre folks! f "4yA vote wa3 taken on the cars going to Washington. The Republicans hail a majority. The hotel registers in Washington the next day showed among " arrivals" a large delegation of posf masters. fqfTIt is the plea of the Republican party that it has within its ample folds all the pure and good of earth, and that the Democrats are the sinners etc. It is a blessed thing to have a good opinion of one's connections whether other folks do or not. l-fjThe Indian policy remains unsettled as usual. Indications are favorable, however, for a general change io the programme. Poor Lo may loose his scalp and his wampum one of these days. The theory of sending firearms and firewater to the Indians as missionary expedients is about euded. f-i7"Mrs. C. Smith, proprietor of the Inland Monthly, Chicago, comes out in a strong article for the release of all prisoners who are not murderers seeing that it is the American Centennial. The Chicago Times remarks upon the .that had it not been for extra ollicial cleiftftufty. Christ would have been alive today. . Nobody knows what the Times means. ;i7"Brick Pomeroy has become very good man in the eyes of the Republicans since his announcement that e will not support Tilden. Now that nt 'JTcs ror trcennni-B. owim vbtr ikpublicans say he i'i a good fellow. If he had danced for Hayes, they would have killed the "fatted calf." As it is. Brick h:is won some warm Republican allies and lost no Democratic friends. F""'They, (the Democrats,) propose to carry Indianna, first, by the free use of money, and second, by bringing here a corps of trained Xew York politicians, fresh from the slums of Tammany and familiar with the most approved method of political corruption, to organize and run the campaign. Mr. Tilden, who boasts that he is the best organizer as well as the greatest reformer in the land, will detail the men and furnish a liberal portion of the money, the remainder of which will be raised by systematic assessments on the east and west." Indianapolis Journal. If Gov. Tilden can .nake it convenient to 'send us aboat seventy-five dollars of our share ritcht away, it would be very acceptable in the present emergency. rjfThe South Beud Tribune thinks that the opening of 'he campaign in this si ate, by ratification meetings in twenty-eight cities and towns on Thursday, at which the most intense zual and enthushism were, displayed in auspicious and indicative of an overwhelming victory for the Hayes and Wheeler cause. The reports received at the Democrat office don't " indii.ite the most intense zeal and enthusiasm." At Peru, where Godlove tioke. about two hundred of all shades o? political opinion were all that could !e gathered together, a large majority of whom were drawn to the meet.ng, expecting to hear the Governor ex-.f-ajn his connection wita the Ven7.uU transaction. But he didn't explain, and they wouldn't enthuse. At LaPorte the mass meeting addressed by the editor of the Indiana StaatsZeitunj, the reports state, " there was not the slightest ripple of applause or enthusiasm during the entire speech and the Republican meeting concluded with three hearty cheers for Tilden Hud Hendricks." fcsFA special dated Oshkos i. Wis. July "cd, says a burlesque combination show of blondes held for.sh m this city on Friday night, and while the performance was in progress three of the ladies got into a row behind the scenes, when Mme, St. Felix and one of her daughters assaulted Miy Treat, bitting her on the face with their fists. On yes'erday morniug the madame and her daughter w ere arrested and brought before a police justice, who imposed a fine of $12 for their simple amusement. The madame stated that she had no money and called on the manager of the show to pay the bill, as he was owing her S200 for unpaid salary. The manager did not come to time, when another member of the firm came to the front and donated the tine. The madame, after ber case was disposed of. wished to have Miss Treat arrested for defamation of her character, but in the midst of it the two ladies get into a wordy discussion, and the court room was ordered to be cleared. As the St. Felix family passed out one of the girls turned to Miss Treat and informed her that she would kck. ner again it it cost her 25. It is a lively crowd, and no doubt will fur nish many items for tbe Lca.1 press where they go.

f-ffA special from Darlington,

Iowa, dated July 2Zd, says a desperate ami singular attempt at suicide, con silient upon an attempt to arrest a burglar, occurred here on yesterday. On Friday night the residence of T. J. Potter, division superintendent of the Burlington & Minnesota railroad was burglarized, a gold watch and chain and 837 in currency leing taken. The police were notified at an early hour this morning, and officer Clark -potted a suspicious looking darkey at the railroad depot. On at tempting to search him the officer felt the watch in his pocket, but the negro fled, and jumping iito the river swam to a raft CO feet from the shore, under which he dove, coming up on the opposite side. The officers followed in a fckiff, but before reaching him the darke7 was seen desperately hacking and cttting his own throat with a penkni'e. lie was captured, before compl ning his task, in an insensible condition, and was taken to jail. Though the neck is badly cut the wound jvas sewed up, and the darkey will probably live. While under water he threw the watch and money away, as nothing was found on his person, He is a tramp and gives his name as Tom rotter. The watch lost was valued as an heirloom by Mr. Potter. ltADICALISM. What it Has Cost Under Grant, and Will Cost Under Hayes. Where Millions are Expended Without Benefit to the Country. '01clal Facta and Figures te toe Pon dered Over Washington. Correspondence of the New Tork Work xso general estimates can give an idea of the constantly increasing bur den of the system of government which exists here. The f icts must be seen in detail to be understood and appreciated. With the country poorer than it ever v?5m before and groaning under the weJgL? of unjust taxes, with congress making iv duC.ions of expen ses for years past in obedience to the demands and the liecessi'.ies of the people, we see th. departments and the bureau continually increasing their expenditures and continually demand ing more money for the not very faithful discbarge of very ordinary duties Xo reform will amount to anything which does not go througa these nests of red tan and corruption with the newest and stiffest kind of broom. Gr.mtism, like a cancer, has sent its poisonous roots through our whole ad ministrative system. The interest on the public debt, which was 8140,000,000 in the iiscal year 1S6S, has fallen to 8103,000,000 in 1876, and this includes, in addition, th'j interest on the Pacific railroad bonds; but the "permanent appropriations" for the fiscal year 1876 were 8149,001,000. In 1859-60 the expenses of the civil list were 8(3,077,008, and the " misctl laneous" expenses 820,708,233. In 1867-CS the civil list cost 813,127,783 and the miucellaneou3 expenses 838,002,091. In 18G9-70, Grant's first year, the civil list was 815,867,336, the mis cellaneous expenses 836.084.S08. In 1874-7." the civil list rose to 817,30,929, and the miscellaneous to 800,528,033. In 1S75-76 there wa3 appropria ted for the civil establishment 820,800,000; for public works, 816,755,000; for miscellaneous, 863,00-',000 ; and the secretary of the treasury, " reformer" as he was, added 821,000.000 over and above the sum of these appropriations for the year 1S76-77. It is only by a careful analysis of the accounts that we are able to detect how the bureaus and departments contrive to " pile up" these expenses, but the mystery disappears as soon as analysis is made, THE CITT THAT SHEPHERD BUILT. Washington is a leading source of expense to the people. The expenditures on behalf the city for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1S75, were as follows, from the books of the register: Joint select committee of congress to pre ink re form of gorernment .J iMtlo to inresiiiratd Shepherd Tretumr? sitiewaJk .......... .........

Total appropriations for I C t2,962,251 11 Now, there is not an item in all this miscellaneous list for the benefit of the government or the principal buildings or grounds of the government. It is all for the benefit of the people of the district. In ex-Gov. Shepherd's last report to his friend Grant, in his capacity of pmddeut of the board of public works, the report bearing date Noy. 1, 1S73, that model exponent of Grantlsm complained that " while, since the year 1S02, the citizens of the district have expended for the improvement of streets and avenues and for sewerage 8IS,14S,445.52, the total appropriations granted by congress for these purposes reach the comparatively small sura of 84,476,700.49." It follows from this th&t Grantism Cakes in one year 8-,90251.11 to do what previously cost only 84.476,706.49 in seventy years. Up to Grant's time, by Shepherd's figures, Washington and the district cost the i-xple 864,000 a year. Since Grantism has been inaugurated it costs the people 83,000,000 a year, while the citizens of the district suffer from oppressive taxation besides. PCBLIC PKTSTDtO. The cost of the public printing . has increased with the utmost rapidity since Grantism became bur system of government In 1S72 the cost of public printing, paper. biTding, etc, was $1,671, 309.24. In 1874-75 it was as follows: Conrressic.ua directory .. ha.ar.ea, eoa.-rnsdnal printer.. COGtiagnt expenses Public printing-and binding. ... LithotrrapiitBjj and eotrae...

It is enough to show however, that under Grantism the printing bills alone have come to exced 1 per cent, of the total expenses of the United States government. COtLECTIKQ THE REVENUE. In 1S67-C8. under the cumbrous old svstera. the internal revenue was $191,087.5S9, and the cost of its collection, 89,327,301. The revenue from customs was 8164.46499. and the cost of its collection was 86,700,000. In 1871-72 the revenue from customs was 8216,370,2S6; from internal revenue, 8130,642,177; the cost of collecting internal revenue was 87,418,118, and of collecting customs the total cost was 816,832e"69. In 1874-75 the revenue from customs was 8157,167,722, and from internal revenue $110,007,493. The The costs of collecting were as fol lows : Expenditures customs serrice $12,420.S9 36 Marine horpital service 472.478 S4 'u"tom house buildings 2.BW14-I 64 L'7ht house establishment 3,147.153 56 Office commissioner of custom ....... 49.159 02 Commissioner internal revenue 3:15,166 SO Taxes illerallr collected 093 00 Collecting internal revenue........... 5,138,513 31 Total S25,2S3,317 93 This is within a fraction of 10 per cent. When it costs a government 10 per cent, to collect its revenue, the system may be assumed a3 near the point of dissolution. It is too corrupt to survive. The seeds of death are germinating in it. The United States are dying of the best developed case of Bureaucracy in all history. Already there is a permanent appropriation of 5.500.000 for the collection or cus toms, a nucleus around which abusive charges may gatner ad libitum. This " permanent" sum has got into the " Revised Statutes," where it may be expected to survive the death of the Republic unless Gov. Tilden and the coming Democratic recrime immedi ately expunge it. THE BUREAUS. The bureaus are a Republican in vention, perfected under Grant and Grantism. The chief wonder is how so many bureaus find any work to do, and the only explanation at all plausi ble is that they send accounts to one another for the sake of mutual in struction In book-keeping. We ap pend a statement of the cost - of the bureaus, regarded entirely as clerical bodies, and eliminating every item of the taxes levied by them upon the country for the particular branches of the public service which they pretend to represent. In this case we give the accounts actually appropriated for the fiscal years 1875-76, and the amounts asked bv Secretary Bristow - for the fiscal year 1876-77. BURKAU. Appropriated Asked 1877. 1S76.

Most of them, indeed, are direct products of Grantism. We have not included an item for several boards in the military department, nor for the nine extravagant bureaus in the navy department. The mints and assay offices used to be run under a Democratic regime, for au annual expense of about 8200,000, and the lighthouse establishment now consumes as much money in one year as it used to take in five. PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND RIVERS AND HARBORS. " Senator Edmonds, in the senate the other day, proposed to place the sum of 84,000,000 in the hands of the secretary of war for the improvement of rivers and harbors at his discretion. In the ensuing debate Senator Logan decided that the country was going to ruin because 8200,000 was not appropriated to roof over the Chicago customhouse, while some of the Democratic senators would never consent to such an unprecedented act as to give any one man the disbursement of so much money at discretion." Yet senators are accustomed, without any squeamishness which is apparent to outsiders, to pass an annual Indian appropriation bill amounting to between 85,000,000 and 86,000,000, the major part of which is directed to be expended in certain ways, " at the discretion of the president," Under the present system, the money spent on public buildings and rivers and harbors constitntf s perhaps the heaviest singie tax which the people have to endure outside the interest on the public debt. The aggregate of the last few years is enormous it is even appalling, alongside of the benefit derived by the people for these expenditures.

Yet he is more of a reformer than even Carl Schura pretends to believe that Gov. Hayes will be. Eight years of Grantism has taken from the public treasury 892,600,115.34 in the shape of subsidies for rivers and harbors and public buildings. Four more years of this system, if the rate of progression which exists at present be sustained, will require 8150,000,000 for the same purposes, even though the president should give us in the future, as in the

19.'

past, a saccession of " reformirtfr sec

retaries of the treasury. It Is worthy of notice that amongst the iU ms of expense charged to the year 1S745 is the sum of $l.04C:)0 " for promoting the efficiency of the civil service." The Indiana Contest. Much importance attaches to the state election in Indiana, which occurs the second Tuesday in October, four waeks before the presidential contest. The result in the former will have great weight in determining which of Mie great parties will succeed in Xovember. The Democracy cannot afford to loose Indiana in October, and have. therefore, placed a popular ticket in the field, headed by Judge Williams for srovernor a ticket which Governor Hendricks says will certainly be elected Jcdge Williams is a sturdy Democrat of the Jeffersonian school, a thoroughly honest man, and a farmer. He is popular with the grangers, and will draw thousands of votes from the Re publicans in the rural districts. He made an excellent record in congress, and is familiarly known all over the t-ate as " Blue Jeans" Williams, a title acquired through his eccentricity and simplicity of dress, such as men of the o'.den time sometimes wore to show their contempt for extravagance. His opponent is Godlove S. Orth, late United States minister to Austi ia. To show the weakness of his competitor it is only necessary to note one incident in the official career of Mr. Orth. In 1S63 a mixed commission met in Car acas, Venezuela, in accordance with me provisions or the treaty 'maue in 1863, to settle international claims pending between that country and the United States. Ta'.madge, the Ameri can commissioner; Still well, of Indi ana, the American minister to Vene zuela; W. P. Murry, a relative of Still well, who acted rs secretary of legation and others of lesser light, formed the ring. The purpose of the ring was to procure awards for fraudulent claims. while no American claimant, as the story goes, was permitted to reeeive consideration unless he would agree to pay a goodly portion say one-half of whatever sum might be awarded him to so-cne agent of the ring. Thus the commission was engaged at the same time in robbing the .Venezuelan gov ernment and blackmailing and swind ling citizens of the United States who had legitimate claims against the Vene zulan government. The Venezuelan government, finding out that frauds were being perpetrated, refused to pay out money after having already paid out a great deal, and demanded a new commission to revise the awards made at Caracas. Orth, as chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, about this time reported in favor of confirm ing the awards of the commission, and during the sessions of 1872 and 1873, after he had been re-elected to con gress, openly lobbied in favor of this blackmailing commission. Some 8522, 000 was secured by the ring, it is al leged, though a sum not one-eighth as large was legitimately due by Vene zuela. Mr. Orth, by his own confes sion, was a sharer in the spoils, and, in order to force Venezuela to pay the fraudulent awards, tried to provoke difficulty between Venezuela and this government. Thus handicapped, the Republican ticket in Indiana is very likely as it richly deserves to meet with overwhelming defeat in the October contest, in which case their chances in other states in the following month will be so poor as to be almost worth less. iV. T". Express. Sitting Bnll and the Sioux. The St.. Louis Globe-Democrat of Saturday, gives the following sketch of the Sioux chief, in a conversation with ?dr. J. D. Keller, of that city. Mr. Keller was from 1S68 to 1S73 clerk of the agent at Standing Rock, aad had ample opportunities to get acquainted with this tribe of blood thirsty savages. In fact he lived among them so long that he learned to speak their language " like a native,1 and was a great favorite of the big chiefs that came to the agency. They called him "Minnehua Ochila" "(.the writing boy). The word Sioux nnans "cut-throat." According to Mr. Kel. ler's statement, the various bands of Sioux number from 25,000 to 45,000, and are divided into the following different tribes: Unkapapa, Blackfeet, Sans, Arcs, Two Kettles, Upper Yanktonh.3, Santee Sioux, Lower Yanktonias, Burgklys, Minheconjons, aud Galkas. Part of these live east and part west of tho Missouri river. Tatonko Otahka (Sitting Bull) who led the savages in the fight .against Custer, belongs to the Unkapay is (dried beef eatere). Mr. Keller knows him well, and describes him to be about five feet in height. He has a large head, eyes and nose, high cheek bones; one of his legs is shorter than the other from a gun-shot wound in the left knee. His countenance is of an extremely savage type, be:rayiag that .blood-thirstiness and brutality for which he has been so U ng notorious. He has the name of being one of the most sucessf ill scalpers in the Indian country. There has been a standing reward of $1,000 offered for Ivx head for the last eight years by the Montana people, who have special caasetoknow his ferocious nature, some of his worst deeds having been perpetrate! in that territory. The Sioux, when on the war-path, black their faces from the eyes down, the forehead being colored a bright re dWhen in mourning, and very eager to revenge the death of friends or relations, they cut their hair short and daub their faces with white earth. Their feats of horsemanship are wonderful. They consider the greatest act of valor to be the striking of their enemy with some hand instrument while alive, and, whether alive or dead, it is the first one that strikes the fallen foe that " "couats the cotip" and not the one that shoots him. They do not always scalp. Their object in scalping is to furnish a proof of their deed, and give them to their women to dance over. They always attack in a sweeping line, eagle-like, give a volley, pass on, circle and return on a different angle. When they kill one of the enemy there is always a rush to get the first crack at him, so as to " count the coup," and then some Indian who was disappointed in getting a. cut at the victim while aliye, scalps him. The Sioux always camp with tepes (lodges) in a circle, making, as it were, a stockade, and when on dangerous ground they picket their ponies in the center Mr. Keller is familiar with the ground where the disastrous engagement of Custer occurred. Concerning this he

said: " My idea of the Custer slaughter

is that the Indians had uo women or children in iheir lodges, and had para pets dug under the lodges out of sight Custer thinking it a family camp rushed into the center of their fort. where resistance would necessarily prove fatal. His only means of escape was, after finding himself in this Ex, to run right through and out. aud not stop to fight, but join Reno's command and retreat. The Teneznela Swindle. Washington, July 25. Manuel Manoz Castro, cAarye cTatfairs from Venezuela to the United States in 1S69 and 1870, testified before Spring er s sub-committee on foreign afTaiis to-day regarding the mfxed commission of 18C6. He relates the efforts made by the Venezuelan government through him, as its diplomatic representative in this country, to have the awards of this commission set asi3e. He said the ground of the Venezuelan government for wanting the awards set aside were the conduct of Ameri can Commissioner Talmadge, American Resident Minister Stillwell. and Umpire Machado. In reference to the commission, his government claim ed that they were actuated by a fraud ; that they acted in collusion with each other; that they raised the claims, or exaggerated them to enormous amounts, and that they formed a rin? for the purpose of enriching themselves out of the proceeds of the claims that the commission was passing upon. Another reason hi3 government wanted the claim set aside was, that the claims allowed by the commission were to a large extent groundless and fraudulent. He cited several claims of this character to which the government took exceptions. He stated that two-thirds of the claims in amount that were awarded by the umpire and commission of the United States were in no manner chargeable to Venezuela. He particularly referred to the claims of Beal.Xoble ft Garrison, which originated in this way. In 1862 a rebellion broke out in Venezuela, which overthrew the constitutional government. The dictator of that rebellious government made a contract with Beal, Noble & Garrison for a line of steamers between New York and Venezuela. This contract was never carried out by Beal, Noble & Garrison The never furnished any vessels or entered upon the coitract in any way. The rebels were in possession of the government less than a year, when it was overthrown and the constitution al government re-established. The acts of the dictator were utterly repudiated, che constitutional government refusing to be bound by any of them. The government of the United States also refused to recognize the rebellious government as the legitimate government of Venezuela. Notwithstanding the irresponsible ai.d rebellious character of the dictator, and the failure of all governments to recognized his authority, the claim of Beal, Noble & Garrison was presented to this mixed, and American Commis, sioner Talmadge, and Umpire Machadohis agent, allowed them $250,000 for their damages, so called, that they claimed they had sustained by reason of the anulling of that contract by the lawful government of Venezuela. This is an example of the fraudulent and groundless claims awarded by the mixed commission. All the facts relating to these claims were transmitted to the United States and an able review was presented to the government of the United States by Mr. J. J. Paul, the accredited minister of Venezuela, who succeeded Mr. . Munoz in 1870 and was before the committee on foreign affairs of the forty-first congress and presented the evidence transmitted to this government. Notwithstanding the fraudulent character of the claims themselves that were allowed against Venezuela, and with full knowledge of their fraudulent character, Mr. Orth, a member of that committee, drew and caused to be reported to the house his joint resolution in structing the president of the United States to use the army and navy in order to enforce the payment of these fraudulent claims by this government against the weaker republic of Venezuela. Springer has called upon the state department to furnish his committee with the evidence upon which the claims of Beal, Noble & Garrison and others were adjudicated by the mixed commission, and also for information as to the present owners of these certificates now outstanding. stemming1tiietide. An Exciting Time and a Xarrow Escape on the Mississippi. There was an exciting time last night about half past 6 o'clock on the Mississippi river opposite the city. The evening was cool and rather pleasant and quite a large number of people were walking by the river side. Up the river in the "great bend" where the Mississippi comes sweeping round the bar just below the mouth of the Kaw river. The boat was loaded with cord wood and was manned by two men and a boy. The boat was coming along quite rapidly, borne on the rapid current which at the bridge is as wild as a cataract. The two men were handling the sweeps or oars, the boy was at the helm, and as the current bore them toward the bridge it became evident that a collision between the boat and the middle pier was inevitable. Another minute and the boat struck the pier and the boat went over with its crew beneath it A loud cry of horror went up from the people on shore, and tl;e next minute ihe boat went whirling past, bottom up, in the boiling, rushing current. The boy came up to the surface, ilinging to a plank. One of the men, vhose name was found to be Marion Tucker, floated past the bridge, clinging to a piece of cord wood. The third person, the owner of the boat, a man named Motbersett, residing in Harlem, swam to pier No. S, where he caught hold of a drift log and so kept himself above water. Policeman Collopy, who witnessed the accident from the shore, jumped into one of Joe Burn's boats, and with another person whose name is unknown, rowed out into the river and saved the boy Holloday, who is the son of a widow residing near Plankinton &, Armours packing house. Joseph Burns and an assistant started out in a beat and soon overtcc'ii aid rescued Marion Tucker, who w&s floating past tho city clinging to a stick of wood. Then some attention was given to Mothersett, who still clung with the

tenacity of a drowning man to the middle pier of the bridge. The current rushed passed the pier with such velocity that it was impossible to reach it and the drowning man with a boat. A rope ladder was let down from shore, but the man was too weak to climb on it. He finally succeeded ia fastening himself to the l.dder and was drawn up. and all were saved. The credit belongs mainly to Joseph Burns, the boatkeeper on the levee. He offered the use of his boats, manned them, and not only saved the crew, but followed the flatboat down the river and saved it at Randolph. Kansas City Times.

Grant and the Presidency. David A. Wells said to me one day that some years since he had been requested by the president to make op for him a tariff for revenue only. David A. complied with the imperial command, and was rpadir.g to him a list of articles, with the duties artached, when he came to scrap iron. Scrap iron, said the astute presi dent, interrupting David. Why not put that on the free list?" And. to David's amazement, he learned that our chief magistrate. whose constitutional duty it is to advise congress from time to time, thought scrap iron meant the iron refuse of the junk shop. David, however, struggled through manfully, until he hit jute butts, and when his excellency wanted to know what syrup had to do with hinges, the learned maker of tariffs broke down. Did it ever strike you that, the fathers have given us rather a queer sort of government, when an intelligent president is an accident, and a rare exception at that? It is related of President Taylor that when asked by an enthusiastic Virginian what he thought of the ordinance of '87, the old man settled his dull homely countenance into as near an expression of thoughtfulness as he could pitch it. and said he did not consider the guns of that day as amounting to much they must have been smooth bores of not much force. Of course this story i3 'oo good to be true, but think of our having a president of whom such a story would be considered characteristic! And vet Taylor wa3 a burst of intellectual sunlight by the side of the present chief magistrate. Donn Piatt. The Germans For The Ticket. The St. Louis Republicn says that as the native voters take a great interest in the position taken by the Germiiv in this contest, and as some Republican papers publish a list f German Hayes papers, the following is an incomplete list of dainy Tilden papers; New York Staats Zeitung. - New Yorker Journal.

We can say without danger of contradiction, that the thirty-six papers above ennme-ated represent at least four-fifths of the daily circulation of all German papers -in the United States. The Late Gen. Custer. George a Custer was born at New xiumley, O D c 5, 1839. He graduated at West Point Military Academy in 1861, and, the civil war having broken out, was appointed second lieutenant of cavalry, and was present at the battle of Bull Run, and afterwards was employed in the defense of Washington. From October 1, 1861, to February, 1862, he was absent on sick leave. After recovering, he rejoined the army, and was additional aide-decamp to Gen. McClellan during the campaign on the peninsula and that in Maryland, being captain of staff. He served through the entire war and took part in more than 60 engagements ia which cavalry were employed. In the volunteer service he reached the rank of major-general. He was mustered out of the volunteer service Feb. 1, 1&C6. In the regular army he received severed promotions, the highest being that of brevet major general. His regular rank, however, was that of lieutenant coloneL As such in the 70th cavalry, he was, in July, 1866, ordered to frontier duty in the Northwest About 1872 the Indians in this region began to be troublesome, and Custer was engaged in many encounters with them with almost uniform success. In the summer of 1874 he conducted a large military and scientific expedit'on into a region among the Blue mountains, hitherto wholly unexploret', which was found to be well wata-ed and fertile, and apparently abounding in mineral wealth. He has published, from time to time, papers in various periodicals, describing his experiences in this region. These, with more or less revision, have been published in a separate volunni "Life on the Plains," New York, 1S74They talk of running Ben Bristow against Henry Waterson, but Henry, who is thoroughly up in parliamentary law, asserts that Ben 3 not in order, and can't have ihe iloor.

Political Chlp. Chicago Times: Grant's motto has been changed to -Let no Bristow man escape. " Boston Post: Carl Schurs has been in the minority for some time, and seems determined to remain there. Baltimore Gazette: The highest compliment the President could have paid Mr. Jewell was to ask him for his resignation. A seat in Grant's Cabinet h.13 ceased to le an honor. nattfoid Times: w The Haves party cry - revolution" when the Democrats in congress economize and reduce the lavish expenditures. 'Rah for Tilden and revolution of the plundering schemes. Chicago Times: The Republican journals can't understand how Tilden got bis money without stealing. It is not to be wondered at either.

that any other method of accumulating wealth is beyond their compre- j hension. St Louis Republican: Carl Schurz will figbt side by side with Senators ' Morton, Conkling and Logan to elect1 Hayes. Of course. Why not? This is the true Christian spirit and how charming it will be to eat crow pie in such hightoned society ! New York Sun: Grant has determined t0 punish Jewell for his misconduct, and to resent his interference with Grantism. Though Jewell was going very far to please Grant Grant found, during the last few days, that he could no longer put up with Jewell. Butler County Democrat : Now we have gotten assurance that Tilden will be elected. After careful research. Job E. Owens has discovered that out of all our Presidents the names of but two of them ended in S, while eight of the names ended in N. Mr. Hayes may as well withdraw, as the majority on our side is tojarge to successfully fight against. Governor Tilden is overwhelmed with announcing the support of citizens in various classes. The Germans are decidedly in his favor, as may be inferred from the fact that several German Republican papers in the northwest have pronounced for him, and as for the Democratic Germans, they are all of one mind in his behalf. Cincinnati Commercial: It was the boast of Republican organs a few weeks ago that the good work of Bristow, Wilson, Dyer, Yaryan, Pratt, aud others, was all performed in carrying out Grant's orders. We suppose they begin to see by this time how it is. Grant is not willing any longer to rest under the imputation that he was not interested in crooked whisky. Nothing will make one man more thoroughly respect another than to have that other man knock him down and walk upon him. Taft has the highest respect for Grant The Republican party points with pride to its past record Orth's Speech Stand up, Belknap, Babcock, Avery, McKee, Joice, Leet and Stocking, brother-in-law Casey, brother Orvil, all you Credit Mobilier boys, Pinchback and other creditable Republicans, and thank the salary-grabbing, widow-robbing, Venezuela claim swindling candidate for Governor for the compliment he has paid you. Pharos. "Let "o Guilty Man Escape." A late Washington dispatch says: "The cemmittee on the investigation of whisky frauds expects to-morrow to have Bluford Wilson, ex-solicitor of the treasury, as a witness in regard to the attitude of the administration during the whisky prosecutions in Milwaukee, Chicago, and St. Louis. Today, Mr. Yaryan's examination was concluded, aud he was somewhat freer in his statements, owing to the President's letter. He testified regardiug the celebrated expression of the president, "Let no guilty man escape." He said that order had been procured through the importunity of the secretary of the treasury (Mr. Bristow) and some of the president's friends. It was understood by the whisky conspirators in st Louis that tne president wrould not allow them to suffer, and some of the president's friends urged upon him the necessity of giving some indication that he was not in sympathy with those conspirators. After considerable importunity on the part of these persons the president simply indorsed upon one of the letters which he had received from St Louis, asking him to take some action in the matter, the words, "Let no guilty man escape." In his (Yaryan's) opinion, those words were not intended to be made public, but were intended to be kept in the treasury department, and to be produced at any time that any charge might be made against the president Yaryan testified that he and Bluford Wilson had gone to various newspapers .1 d given them these words shortly after they were wl itten, and that he understood that the president was very angry when he discovered that the order had been published. Yaryan was asked how he knew that the president was angry at the publication of these words. He replied that he knew the fact from the statement of Mr. Bristow to him. He was asked to state any facts which tended to show that the president was not in sympathy with the prosecution of these whisky frauds or any facts that induced him to believe that the president sought to shield any of the licked to be guilty. He replied that he based his opinion on the dt-lay of the president in removing the following officers who were obstructing the prosecution of the whisky rinij, viz: District Attorney Ward of Chicago, Hubbel of Milwaukee, Van Dyke of San Francisco, Supervisor Munn of Chicago, and Collector McGuire of St Loiis; bis failure to remove Collector Sedgwick and Supervisor Foulke of San Francisco; his removal of General Hendrson, assistant counsel at St Louis and his retention in office of Babcock ; his dismissal or hi3 forced resignation of nearly every officer who has taken an active part in the prosecution of the whisky conspirators; the importuning that was required to obtain the celebrated endorsement, "Let no guilty man escape," and his anger at its publication ; the length of vime that the resignation of McDonald was held before it was accepted, and the fact that he was not dismissed after confessing his guilt, were also enumerated as a base for the opinion that the President was in sympathy with the whisky ring.
