A correspondent of the New York Herald
with General Crooks command, In Wyo-
ming territory, brings q grave charge against
him. He states that Crook seems to have
formed his estimate OF the Sioux from his
experience In fighting the Apaches, and that
the surprise which he suffered on the nth of
June last was the first awakening from this
delusion. He has consulted none Of his SUBJ
ordinates, many of whom are experienced
Indian fighters, In regard to his plans, and
this correspondent charges that ever sipcs
the expedition left Fetterman Gen. Crook
has shown a contempt for the fundamental
principles of military policy. According to
the same authority. the march has been un-
guarded; the camps have not been compact
enough for the most advantageous defence;
the scouting has been without system; the
troops, although many of them were the
rawest recruits, have scarcely been drilled
Notwithstanding that they have been Ian
gushing In Incidence for nearly two months,
amt the proximity of Indians has not been
taken advantage of TO strike them blow.
We very much doubt whether the criticism
OF a civilian who never set squadron in the
field will weigh much against the testimony
of such distinguished soldiers as Generals
Sherman and Sheridan in regard to General
Crooks ability as a commander. 1t isn't at
all likely that he will be caught mapping,
Notwithstanding the fears of this timid cor
respondent.

The Withdrawal OF Mr.. Orth as the repu b.
lican candidate for Governor of Indiana is
generally regarded as a strong indication
that parties have come to realize the fact
that to win In political contests hereafter,
they must put unexceptionable candidates
on their tickets. Mr.. Orth may, or he may
not be, guilty OF the charges brought against
him in connection with the Venezuela
claims, but bis party is apparently satisfied
that their candidate must be like Ce Sar's
wife II they would succeed. The New York
Erening Post thinks the republicans could
not do better than TO replace Mr.. Orth's
name with that of Hon. ID. ID. Pratt, late
Commissioner of Internal Revenue

The House has provided for an adjourn
ment next Monday. 1t is safe to say that
the Senate will not concur in this action
simply because OF the large amount OF busi.
ness before Congress which cannot be dis.
posed of by the time mentioned.

The amount already conveyed into

is: Let no guilty man escape.
1t is hoped and believed by those
