McKenEic's Official Report OF the

CHICAGO, December 1.-The official
report Of Col. Mckenzie, Colonel Of the
9TH Cavalry, at military headquarters
here to-day, stated, that about noon on
the Oath inst, while marching IN South
westerly direction towards the Sioux pass
OF the Big Horn Mountains, they met
the advance scouts, who reported that
the main camp Of the Chcyennes was
about fifteen or twenty miles distant.
About sunset the command began
moving toward the hostileS, reaching the
village just after daylight, completely
surprising the Indians and compelling
them to vacate the village suddenly aud
take refuge in a ravine. After brisk
Gght lasting an hour, and diminishing
until night, they capitulated. The en.
tire village, having l73 lodges, with all
the contents, were destroyed. Ponies 10
the number Of 500 were captured, and 20
bodies Of Indians were found. Il 10

officer werc killed on our aide, and 26
wounded, besides one shoshone scout be.

lMPEACHMENT TALK.

Special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
wAsHIsaros, November 3o.-The
Democratic Congressman talk strongly
OF impeaching, not only the President
and Secretary Of War, but every Cabinet
officer who has advised the use Of troops
in South Carolina. One is represented
as having said that proceedings Of this
sort would be taken before Congress has
been 10 session week. Tho Democrats
maintain that the majority Of the Repub.
licsu Senator's In the Louisiana debate
placed themselves upon record on this
question against the President, and they
say that the President, In special
message, sought to excuse himself for
such use Of troops. The most sanguine
Democrats, however, do not expect that
the Senate would pay attention to any
such proceeding, and the entire scheme
would be undertaken simply for partisan
purpose. Thepassage referred to ia this:
Il am we'll aware" said President Grant
In special message Of January Is, 1876,
that any military interference by officers
or troops Of the United States, with the
organization Of 4 State Legislature or
any Of ia proceedings, or with any civil
department OF the Government, L. repug.
nant to our ideas Of government. / can
conceive OF no ease, not involving rebel
lion OF insu erection, where such interfer-
euce by the authority Of the General
Government: ought to be permitted or
can be justified"
The Democratic Congressman, seeing
the desperateness OF their cause with re-
gard to counting the electoral vote, are
taking sides with those who maintain
that tho Twentysecoud Joint Rule Is
still In force. Even those who do not
admit this, Insist that the House has an
equal voice with the Senate 10 determin.
log oil disputed questionS. Independent
Of the Twenty.seeond Joint Rule, the
Democrats say they will maintain that
the House has q right to 70 behind the
Returning Board or the certificate Of o
State Executive TO inquire as to the or.
isssnee ottraad.

As far as could be ascertained the fol-
lowing il the number OF houses burned
by the fire this morning: Twcnty.lonr
on Robertson street, 80 on Tillerc street,
8 on Morris street, 10 and the Stauna
Church, on Esplanade atrect. Tho dwell.
ings OF Messrs. Augusta and Amadee
Couetrie, Abrams Rocca Clark, and
Crozat, superb residences on Esplanadc
street, were consumed. Most Of the
buildings burnt we're small cottages, and
hundreds Of poor peopele lost all they
possessed. Leon Ditrieux, member Of
the Fire Department broke Is leg.
A negro who was detected setting fro 10
one Of the houses during tho conQagra.
tlon was shot and instantly killed. An.
other negro was also found in the act Of
committing the same crime. He was
shot at, but was missed, and he succeeded
in making his escape.
The FIRE this morning destroyed 1l2
houses. The loss is estimated at from
100000 to s40O, 900; insurance, $500, 900
About 90 houses werc occupied by falni.
lies who lost nearly all their effects, and
arc left destitute; many Of them losing
their wearing apparel.

Ere to-day about 20 firemen we're injured,

OF u negro was incorrect. A policeman
shot at a negro but did not hit him.
One nan had his neck broken by falling
from a wagon.
FATAL CONTROVERSY ABOUT TWO DOLLARS
Thursday morning Col. r. Brown, a
planter, Of Terre Bonne, Eve miles below
ST.. Bernard Court House, was shot and
instantly killed by negro. The difficulty
was about two dollars. The deceased
gentleman was a native Of Kentucky, and
a prominent dealer in live stock 10 this
city several years ago. He has been
planting at Terre Bonnie for the past five
years, and was highly esteemed.

THE SPEAKEisSIIIP.

specIal Dispatch to tho Cincinnati Gazette.
WAsHrSGroS, November 80. .-Morri'
son, Of Illinois, definitely announces him
self as candidate for the speakership
There Is strong suspicion that his can
didacy Ia blind 10 the interest Of Ran
dali, and that he takes the field only to
destroy Cox and sayler, by dividing
their strength, and thus making Randall'a
victory certain, Randall states posi-
lively that he IA q candidate. The can
vass will actively begin tomorrow. The
friends Of the other candidates are much
annoyed that Morrison enters the list.
They had supposed that the mention OF
his namo was only complimentary, and
that he would be satisfied with the lead.
ership OF the House accorded him last
session. II IfMorrison's candidacy proves
10 be serious, 1t will divide the Northern
vote, and, be likely TO cause the election
OF man whom the South will more spec
tally favor. Cox claims l20 votes pledged.
lie made like claims in the Kerr contest.
Morrison denies that Tilden Is interfer.
Ing In the Speakership, and claims to
know, for he, like most Of the Congress
men, spent some dayswith Tilden in New
York. Morrison is reported rs having
used this Language concerning his own
candidacy: ~ can't do much speech.mak.
ing, and this Is going to be session Of
excited debate and wrangling. I doua;
II Congress can do any legislative work
beyond passing the appropriation bills,
and these will take up all the time oil the
short session. This political trouble is
going 10 use up q good deal OF the SEES.
sion. Il Is not going to be n Sunday.
school time for the House."
There Is q remarkable difference be.
tween the present positions OF the two
parties here. The Democrats have re.
cognized leader. The Republicans have
none. No step is taken by the Democrats
In any part OF the counry without con.
sultation with Tilden. Most Of the
Democratic Congressman who have ar.
rived here are simply AidS.de.Camp from
Gramercy Square. Nearly all come to
Washington through New York. They
have taken their orders from headquar.
ters. The speakership contest Is being
decided there. The Republicans, on the
other hand, seem 10 have no leader, aud
to acknowledge no leadership. The Re-
publicans OF the House seem disposed now
10 give their party vote to Garfield for
Speaker, and 70 make him leader Of the
minority. In the troublesome times
possible In the immediate future, he IA
undoubtedly the best man 10 the present
membership Of the House for that ex-
citing and responsible position. He com:
bines with an intimate knowledge OF
Parliamentary rules, great coolness, per-
soual courage, and ability as debator.

LOUISIANA.
special to the Cincinnati Commercial.

New ORLEANS, November 30,-The
Board Is rapidly drawing It's labofS TO a
close. The argument was finished TO-
day as to the legal points, and the Board
will likely go Into secret session to.mor'
row and make up the verdict.
In twenty tineontested parishes the
votes stand, Tildkn 1881, Hayes 270OS.
In the contested parishes the vote stands,
Tilden, SO,1l2, Hayes 2s,61G; Orleans
Tilden 23,SSs, Hayes 1887. Total, Til.
den $3.50, Hayes 43,3S7. Seven parishes
not YET made public will not materially
change these figures: Eve Of them arc
Democratic and two Republican. Tilden
Is At least 10000 ahead on the face Of the
returns. Everything included, he 10 not
lar from $4,000 ahead, as the Democrats
figure it tonight.
II tho Board gives the State TO Hayes,
as they likely will, they will have to
throw out literally in all the contested
parishes.
Northeran Republicans have been en-.
gagged to-day in making rough draft Of
4 letter to the President giving the re.
suit Of the investigation here. Each bull.
dozed parish has been allotted to one
committeeman, who has made It his busi.
ness to inform himself about It.
A large may Of 0uachita Parish has
been made, showing where each rifle
company was stationed, where each muir
der, whipping and wounding was com.
mitted. A glance At II tells the whole
story. -r, Ee.- g..
The letter to the President will be
very strong, setting forth fully the con.
dition oi matters in Louisiaua, but more
particularly In the Eve parishes. The
letter will be supported by 4 copy Of
every one Of the affidavits taken, Of which
there are now over one thousand, or
some three or four thousand pages Of
testimony. ~ sr. Il
Il is probable that the President will
transmit the whole mass Of matter to
Congress in a special message.
Northern Democrats are preparing au
address, which they will likely give to
the country in u few days. They will
set out the large majority which Tilden
has on the face d the returns, and charge
that nothing developed in the investiga.
ton warrants the destruction Of that
large majority by the Returning Board.
At the Custom House to-day more tes.
timony was taken, bearing upon the
extent Of intimidation in the bull.dozed
parishes. This work promiAes 70 con.
tinue for some dule, AZ other witnesses
have not arrived.
All parties from the North are pre-.
pairing to leave Saturday:

DuFAuRE UNDER A CLOUD.

Delegates from the three groups Of the
Left in the Senate and Chamber Of Depu'
ties met to-day and resolved that whereas
the policy of NJ. Duisure, President Of
the Council, had ceased to conform with
the wishes Of the Republican majority,
therefore be be requested to resign. The
meeting was Of the opinion that It was
necessary to retain the Ministry as 1t
now is, except substituting Simon for
Dufaute. It Is not thought the proposal
will be accepted by President MacMahon.
