from Helena, Montana, of the 2Sth ult.,
give an account of severe fight between
four companies of the Second U. S. Cav.
airy and one company Of the Thirteenth

and the Blackfeet Indians. A friendly
Indian arrived at Fort Benton and re-
ported that early on the morning of the
23d, Col. Baker surprised Bear Chiefs
camp Of over thirty lodges, and killed
men women and children. No quarter
was given. The surprise was complete.
Only six or eight men escaped. Bear
Chief was among the slain. He is known
to have murdered several whites. Col.
Bakers loss is trihing. Other tribes Of
Blackfect, upon learning Of the affray,
Immediately made all haste to reach the
British possessions, but it is understood

How THE TARIFF OPERATES. The
tine will most likely come when the
workingmen of the country will fully un,
derstand and appreciate the workings. Of
the tariff The present high tariff imposes
a duty Of fifty cents per pound, and
thirty five per cent, ad valoren,, on all
fabrics Of wool, or Of which wool is a
component part Thus: On yard Of
coarse broadcloth, which costs one dollar
in England or Germany, and weighs two
pounds per yard, the duty is one dollor
per yard and thirty five per cent. dd va-
loren equal to one hundred and thirty
five per cent. This is the duty poor
laboring man pays. Now for the wealthy
man: On yard Of fine cloth, weighing
sixteen ounces, he pays fifty cents
specie and thirty. Eve per cent. ad ualoren'
duty. The cloth is valued at fvo dollars,
and this makes the rich mans duty only
forty five per cent. while the poor man
must pay one hundred and thirty five pei
cent.

A very prominent and thoroughly in

tuckian the Fifteenth Amendment would
be ratified and officially promulgated
within twenty days, and advised an i'm.
mediate organization Of the negroes in
Lexington, Kentucky, with view of a
sweeping Republican triumph in that city
at the municipal election to be held on
the first Saturday in March. Immediately
following the promulgation of the amend.

an act providing severe pains and penal
ties on all who interfere with or prevent
the exercise of the right of franchise OF
those upon whom it is conferred by the
Fifteenth Amendment.

Broken Pledges,

must be maintained uJ,iie he question of
suffrage IN all the loyal States properly
