CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-The Inter Ocean has a
| special from Columbus, Ohio, concerning the
alleged falsity of Gov. Hayes revenue re-
turns, which gives facts and figures to show
| that the whole story is series of misrepre-
sensations and untruths The Governor has
furnished the Ohio State Journal with the
facts in regard to the principal charge that his
uncle Brchard left him nearly a., 900 with
which to pay requests made by Birchard and
which he was allowed to hold three years,
and that he did not return the money for tax
alton. Hayes says not dollar was left him
to pay requests. 1t was intended that these
should be paid from the sales of land, and he
was given three years to dispose of the real
estate, which, of course, is taxed by the
county without consultation with its holder

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-The Times special from
Tcrry's camp, Aug. 80. says: The command
left the Yellowstone river near the mouth of
Aliens on the evening of the 9th, moving
due north for ten miles and went into camp.
At the next morning the march was re-.
sumed. The country is dead and parched,
rendering long marches impossible Water
is scarce. Yesterday afternoon the COM
mand camped on the north fork of Rush
creek, 80 miles north of the Yellowstone.
Capt Ball, with detachment of four COM
panies, left the north column with instruc
tons to .move north across the divide in
search of Indian trails leading toward the
Big Dry creek, or Mussel Shell river. Capt.
Ball returned tonight reporting he discover
ed no heavy trails, hence no large body of
Indians have crossed the river to move to-
ward Fort Benton. The Camp is within IL
is within miles of the south fork of Glendve
creek, where the junction, if any, was to
be formed with Crook. A courier leaves for
Crook tonight. Terry is convinced that the
Indians have not crossed the river in any
force west eff US, and if they have gone north
at all it is towards Fort Peck. 1t is expected
that the Infantry will move east, and their
destination is Fort Peck, on the Missouri
