THE majority report of the House
Post-office Committee on the investiga-
ton of "straw" bids, etc., made by
Mr.. Clark, of Missouri, severely CEN
su-es Postmaster General Creswell, and
declares the evidence suggests that the
Post-office Department during his ad.
ministration was either in collision
with wrong-doers, or that criminal
negligence and gross incompetency ex-
listed. Postmaster-General Jewell is also
censured for not remedying the evils of
the preceding administration when dis
covered by him. The minority report
says that the testimony furnishes a
most complete and satisfactory vindi-
cation of the department and its man.

GOVERNOR PILLsBURY, of Minneso-
ia, has called personal conference Of
Governors of the different States and
Territories which have suffered from
grasshopper depredations, to meet in
st. Paul, to devise plans for united
action in the destruction of the eggs
and young grasshoppers. He has also
minated his intention, in his next
message, to recommend the Legislature
to provide system of State and county
bounty to parties destroying the pests.
The last advices show that the grass
hoppers are now doing very little havoc
in that State. .. ,s.

Our Indian Troubles.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT, RECOMMEND
ING AN INCREASE IN THE ARMY.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives:
Transmit herewith telegram of the 5th OF
August from Lieutenant General Sheridan to
General Sherman, letter of the 18th of the
present month from General Sherman to the Sec
rotary Of War, and letter from the latter of
same date to me. all setting forth the possible
need of an increase in the army in consequence OF
the existing hostilities. would strongly urge
upon Congress- the necessity for making some
provision for any contingency which may arise
during the vacation for more troops in the
Indian country than it is now possible
to send. 1t would seem to me to be much more
economical and better to authorize an increase
Of the present cavalry force by $500 privates;
but this is not dee med advisable, then that the
President be authorized to call out not exceed
ing i've regiments, one Thousand strong each,
Of volunteers. to serve for a period not exceed
ing six months. Should this latter authority be
given wouid not order out any volunteers, I'M
less, in my opinion, based upon reports fl ON the
scene of war. I deemed it absolutely necessary,
then only the smallest number that could be con-
sidered sufficient to meet the emergency.

General W. T. SHERMAN. Washington, d. c.:
have not yet been able to reinforce the garri-
son at Red Clou1. at Spotted Tail or at Standing
Rock. to be strong enough to count the Indians
or to arrest and disarm those coming in beg
you to see the military committee of the House
and urge on it the necessity of increasing the
cavalry regiments to 100 to each company. Gen.
Crooks total strength is ,774 and Terry's s7s,
and TO give this force to them Il have
stripped every post from the line of the Manitoba
to Texas. We want more mounted men. We
have not exceeded the law in enlisting Indian
scouts, in fact we have not as many the law
allows us. The whole number in this division is
only u4.ii The Indians with Gen. Crook are not
enlisted or even paid. They are not worth pay
ing. They are with him only to crafty their
desire for fight and their thirst for revenge on
the Sioux. .et
