michael. The orations were in keep
ing with the spirit of the occasion, and
everything passed Off well, and the
general impression prevails that MOTH
ing since the war has occurred TO so
completely break down the barriers
between the north and south, and
unite our whole people. Only one ac-
cident occurred to mar the celebration,
and this was caused by General Cotton
Greene's 1.-THE chief marshal) horse fall
ing upon him, on his return to the
city, and breaking his left leg just
above the ankle.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, May 26.-The in
reference of the military with private
citizens who are transgressing no law,
as in the case of Evans and Gordon's
trains, which were recently arrested by
the military in the state of Nebraska,
its members disarmed and large num-
Der of men and teams taken to Fort
Randall while en- route to Gordon City,
which place is located outside the In
dian country, is denounced by citizens
of all parties and classes in this section
as high-handed outrage, which de-
serves the severest censurc. The law
in unmistakable language declares that
any person found trespassing ON lands
coded to the Indians shall be appre-
hended and Immediately conveyed
from the Indian country by the near
est and safest route to the civil author
tiles of the territory or judicial district
in which such person shall be found.
In Evans case, the doughty Captain
Walker reversed the law of congress to
suit his own inclination, made the ar
rest fifty miles away from the
Indian territory, in the state OF
Nebraska, ana undertook to force the
train into the Indian territory, and to
q point two hundred and fifty miles
distant, to reach which he had to pass
directly through Indian country to the
military fort to be adjudged by mil
itary authorities. Evans refused to
cross the river into the Indian coun-
try, and Captain Walker sent a mes
senger after assistance to enforce his
orders. Meantime, orders have been
sent by a courier from here to the
trains on the way west, in which are
about five hundred men, well armed
and equipped, to hurry forward to
Evans support, and to protect his train
from the raids of these military high
waymen to the hest of their ability.
Judge Hubbard received Il telegram
to-day from the headquarters of the
division of the Missouri, stat
ing that General Terry, commanding
the department of Dakota, had already
issued orders to the commanding Ofli-
Ger at Fort Randall to Internationally
release all persons who had been ar
rested by the military in the state of
Nebraska.
WASHINGTON, May 2G.-There is
much indignation here among the ofll-
GERS of the department of Justice and
secret service on account of the escape
of Pete Mccartney, the notorious
counterfeiter, from the deputies of
Purnell, in Texas, and the
latter will be dismissed in consequence.
The attorney general will name his
successor on Monday. The secret serv-
ice has accomplished remarkable
achievements in dealing with Mozart
ney, having captured him no less than
three times, and each time he has es-
capped very soon after being delivered
to the custody of United States
marshals. Last December Washburn
and Burson, of the secret service,
captured him with four of his |
gang at st. Louis, and committed them
to st. Louis Jail, which Benson says is
he safest Jail in the country, but on
The Sd of February all four escaped in
A manner that left no doubt that the |
