matter, he says that the postal laws of the
United States have been uniformly construed
to terminate the property in and control over
a letter by the writer when the letter leaves

livery the letter becomes the property of and

The city of Chicago made Duncan, Sher-
man Co. their fiscal agent for paying in
New York the interest coupons on her bonds,
and deposited with that firm a sum of money
for that purpose. The firm failed with about
$4,000 of this interest money in their hands,
leaving that amount Of matured coupons un-
paid. The deposit was ample for covering all
interest due. Bondholders were duly mott
fed of the agency of Duncan, Sherman & Co.
Legally the city was not liable for this loss, as
is claimed, but the City Council has wisely au-
thorized the Mayor and Controller to pay all
coupons to date thereby shouldering the loss.

practiced upon the Sioux Indians by
their agents and contractors, as pub
aished in the Omaha Bee to-day, and
coming, as they. do, directly from the
mouths Of. Red Cloud and Spotted Tail,

dish their grievances before reaching
Washington, is generally considered d

portant chiefs were not allowed to ac-
Company the delegation, because they
would be liable to interfere with the
workings of the ring at whose hands
they are suffering so much neglect.
They claim that the delegation does not
sufficiently represent the Sioux Nation
and can not enter upon negotiation for
the sale of the Black Hills without the
presence OF more of their tribes; and
before any decided action can be taken
by the Government it will be necessary
20 reconcile, by a call to Washington,
Red Dog and other chiefs who were not
permitted to 60 along.
