THE LATE INDIAN fleHr ON THE
pLAINJ

In the Platte Argus OF the 5th instant
We find an account Of the late fight
Among the Indians Of the Plains. From
this account we gather that, the number
Of Pawnees, luwas, 0ttoes, &c. on one
side, were eight or nine hundred, and
Of Sioux aud Cheyennes one Thousand.
The Sioux FIRST attacked the Ottoes
and lowas, and being beaten OF turned
upon the Pawnees, WIN il seems were
not then with the Offices and Iowas,
but immediately joined them. The
fight was maintained till 8 o'clock in
the afternoon. when a band ol Sacs and
Pottawatomies, who had been with the
Ottoes in the morning. came back and
ioiued them. The fight went on, when
the Sioux and the Cheyennes tuok to
flight and were pursued until night.
Ten Of the Sioux aud Cheyennes were
lett dead upnn the field one 0itoe was
Killed Is PaNnee warriors and seye-
raj women aud children were also kill.
ed. Wounded: 1 Iowas, 10 0ttoes,
2 .sacs, 4 Pottawatonies, and about 60
Pawnees. Several OF the wounded have
died. The ten Sioux and Cheyenne
warriors found dead on the field Of bat
Tie were scalped, and the conquerers
celebrated their sictury in theausuai
Indian mode. this is the second time
the smaller tribes Of the Missouri have
been victorious on the Plains within
the last few years; the first time was
against the Camanches and Eheyennes,

600 out Of the government annuity,

FuelTIyE SLAVE cAsE.-Jadge Me
Lean. Of the L. 5. Court, in his deci-
sion Yesterday. surrendering up a fugi-
tive slave from Kentucky !. to his own
er. answered several points raised by
the counsel for the slave. b. saving, in
substance. that the fugitive slave laws
of 1895 and 1880 are constitutional,
and that no State has power to pass a
law preventing fugiti,es from beingde-
liyered up TO those to whom they owe
service. That no proof was necessary
before the Supreme Court, that slavery
existed in the State from which the flu !
gitive escaped, as il should be taken
for granted that the Supreme Judge
knew the law of all the States. That
the State could not be compelled TO
give up fug.ti,es BY law Of Congress.
nj the provisions in the constitution did
not do 50. That slavery can only ex-
thy authority Of law, and asst 50 ex
lists IN slave States, said law not being
an infringementof the constitution, the
free States are bound.Sto recognise il
in delivering up slaves from these
States, upon clear proof that they are
