CHICAGO, September 3.-The Times
Washington special says: The charge
concerning Tilden's failure to pay the
proper income tax is to be iudicially
tried. The correspondence was begun
with the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, and yesterday a second letter from
District Attorney Bliss was received at
the Internal Revenue Bureau on the
subject OF Tilden's so-called DELINQUENCY.
Commissioner Raum said that he did
not feel at liberty to make the tenor of
the correspondence public but he could
say that Mr.. Bliss WAS of the opinion
that the suit ought to be instituted
against the Dem ocratic candidate for the
Presidency. The commission, however,
said he was entirely free from any po-
litcal prejudice IN the matter, and what
he advised had been without regard for
the prominent position now occupied by
Mr.. Tilden. He adds that in his opinion
the years '62 and SO are the only ones
concerning which the suit can be
brought. How far the suit will be
pressed is doubtful, and at any rate the
suit can not be completed until some
months after the election.

Jerry 8 CAMP, on the Yellowstone
river, Aug. 26.-via Bismarck, D. T
Sept. 4,-Yesterday morning be moved
his com mand, after an days rest, march
ing 20 miles before camping; Crook had
changed his camp the day before in
search of better grass. going miles up
Powder river; his last nights camp being
about 10 miles in advance of ours. Our
road is that diabolical trial which had
entlced us so far to 80 little purpose and
which had been abandoned al q hope
less 100; the only reason. for following
II up again, were that the generals were
in absolute ignorance Of where the In
dams had gone or what they were doing.
That campaign had proven failure,
30 that something had to be
done for appearance sake That
traii was the only Indian sign
found and that the army might reach the
agencies oy thus route as we'll "a another.
Every body has grown dissatisfied with
what they claim to be the continued
mlsmanaRement of the officers. Thew
crlticlse the conduct Of affairs severely,
and frankly express their disgust at hav-
Ing anything to do with campaign
which is evidently based upon theories
from the steamer, which YVES still wait
ing near our last camp, having met the
Josephine and Yellowstone coming up
Az miles below Glendine Creek. Both
vessels were fred upon by Indians, one
private being killed. Several small mar
ties OF Sioux were seen at different points
on the north bank OF the river but only
one of them came within range. Thew
quickly retreated before sharp firing
from the boats, one falling as though
badly hurt. Just above here the Jose
phlne picked up white man who hailed
her; he with another had deserted from
the little garrison at GIendine Creek.
and had bren surrounded by Indians.
His companion was killed, scalped and
mntilated, and he himself badly wound
ed IN the arm. Creeping between some
rocks he lay IN the petlng rain two DAYS
and nights and the Indians firing at him
once III while and evidently waiting
TIL he was starved out. Capt. Rice.
commanding company Of infantry at
Giendne, sends word that he had been
attacked twice by small bands of Sioux;
nobody hurs. His scouts claim to have
discovered large Indian village some
distance down the river numbering from
l,0OO to l 800 men. On receipt of thus
news Terry rode over to Crooks camp
and the following plan was agreed upon:
10 cross the Yellowstone at this point
70 miles by water below powder, march
inland few miles and swing down to-
ward Glendine so as to tap the trail, if
the enemy are moving north, and corral
them if they are still below the creek: to
skirt the headwattrs of O'FaIlop & Cab.
in creeks and strike the Yellowstone
near Glendine, thus preventing coun.
termarch of the Indians and hemmipp
them. If the village really exists
row may be expected within few
days at least. should either column
strike a fresh trail it will be followed
without regard to the above mentioned
villages, and as both commanders feel
hampered by the other the trail NAV
possibly be found. Terry and Crook are
much exercised over newspaper attacks
which pour in upon them with each
mail and are already bending their
shoulders under the weight of public
condemnation. All they say in reply is:
II have done my best" They at length
acknowledge there is scarcely a hope of
striking the Indians this year, an idea
long entertained by every clear-beaded
man in their armies. Sheridan states in
his general order that the cam paign must
close by the 18th of October at the latest.
to which time We may confidently look
ior snow marches and no fighting other
.han with band of redskins here and
| there.
