THE INDIANS.
Scare Crows.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 24.-Gen.
SulIy, Superintendent of Indian Affairs
for Montana, writes to Commissioner
Parbsr concerning the recent attack on the
Crow Indians by the hostile Sioux, their
strength being variously estimated at 800
TO 1000 Crows.
The Crows are terribly frightened and
demoralized. They are out of ammunition,
which together with their being so poorly
armed was the cause of their being driven
by the Sioux. =,
Gen. Su1y thinks the Government will
bsve constant trouble with the Sioux.
Most of the black hills and Powder river
country are similarly punished.

The Constitutional, answering the asser-
ton of the London Times that the French
are in a desperate condition, shows that
that journal arrives at its conclusions with
out waiting for complete or authentic re-
ports of recent events, and defes it to de-
eide who is now in the best military posi-
ton, Bazaine or King William,
1t adds that the hostility of the Times is
accounted for by the fact that the son of
one of its proprietors married the daughter
of the Prussian Ambassador at London,
and some persons say that in addition to
this the journal has been heavily subsidized
by Bismarck,

New York, Aug. PA special and a
Paris private dispatch report great revul-
sion Of feeling in France, and that the be-
lief is widely prevalent through the empire
that from this time the whole course of the
war will be changed. Many believe that
the Prussians will be driven over the Rhine
before three weeks. The loss of the Prus-
SLAMS is said to exceed in killed and wound
ed 200, 900 men, and all the corps which
have been engaged in the late battles are
frightfully cut up.
a special to the London Telegraph says
the Prussians have, for the first time since
the breaking out of hostilities, become
doubtful oi success, and that one grand
French victory will demoralize all the forces
in the field. The Germans insist that when
official advices are received, the extrava-
CANT stories of the French Will be contra
dicted.
Private cable kilograms announce de-
cided victory for the French at Dswvillers.
1t is said to have been bloody, with great
loss on both sides. The French here are
confident that the tide is turning, and
within two weeks the Prussians will be
driven beyond the Saar.

We have already quoted from the

full life of forty years. We must still
make use Of the last words it addresses
to its readers prior to the judicial elec-
lion, to take place tomorrow. Itrcminds
them that suffrage is not mere right
but likewise sacred du.y, and Tat no
one can fail to discharge it inteliigenly
without inhicting injury upon the best
interests of the country. There is, VIC

many to make it sahseTYient to personal
inte.e est, o. to prostitute it TO individual
friendship, or to other private claims
