Sitting Bulls Plans.

The observations taken by the guides,
n the reports received by Gen. Crook
from Crow scouts, with a duplicate dis
patch from Brigadier General Terry,
encourage a suspicion that the willy foe
intend to intrench their families and
property among the mountains while,
after recuperation, they continue to
contest the dominion of the plain. 1t is
not to be doubted that there are spirits
among them who foresee the inevitable
end OF an open struggle, and that,
through their counsel, a place of final
refuge has been or Will be selected.

thereto. His funeral occurred in this
city on Sunday, and we cannot refrain
from mentioning in this connection the
generous kindness with which the dead

and the deep respect shown his memory
by Richard Latham and family, with
whom Dougherty has made his home

the sole surviving member Of his
family, and during the time he lived
with Mr.. Latham had, by winning
manners and manly qualities, won the
love Of the entire family, and came to
be regarded as a brother by all. While
he was suffering from the effects Of his
wound, nothing was left undone which
could in any way have contributed to
his comfort.
When life had fed from his body, it
was carefully conveyed to this city,
enclosed in a rich and costly casket, and
arrangements made for the last sad
rites without regard to expense, by Mr..
Latham. There was a very large turn

AN APPALLING CILAMI1I !

The American Exchange and Review,
in its August issue, has an article on
1.-The double Standard of Gold and Sill
YER" by George w. Weston. who is OPP
posed to demonctizing silver. lie says:
This madness is of very recent origin. The
date OF it is no longer ago than 1867, when there
was assembled III Paris what styled itself an
International Conference, and which undertook
the work Of cl angling and remodeling nearly
all human things.
What we are confronted with is an avowed
policy of demonetzng silver the world over
and a series OF measures looking To that tata
measures of resistance No calamity wide
reaching, 50 momentous, and SO appalling, hn

When we consider this measure pro
poses to destroy one halt tho money OF th'
world, thereby doubling the value OF III,
remainder. to wit. the gold; which III
creased value OF gold is evidenced by
and mcans.a reduction of one half in til,
value oil all the fruits of human labor
and human labor itself. we begin to re-

DEMOCRATIC NONSENSE.

At the Mankota Democratic Conven-
ton, which nominated Mr.. Buel, Mr..
Brisbin of St. Paul made q hard-money
speech. We quote the St. Paul Dispatch
reports:
The first speaker called upon was Hon. J..
B. Brisbln. who delivered one of his most
forcible and eloquent speeches, i'll which he
reviewed aud compared rilden's and Hayes
letters OF acceptance, his scathing CRITICISMS Oh
the present administration being bitterly Sc
we're. In aluding to specie payment, the
speaker stated that there was sufficient coin
now i'll the country to allow SIS to every man,
woman AID child. and tEs most able financlers
state that IN cities $40 and i'll agricultural DIS
tricts So is sufficient for all commercial pur-
poses He stated th1t the industries are par
alyzed and commerce crippled not by want o.
specie, but bv the niquitous tariff which i
crushing ont the nations life.
Now it is universally conceded tina,
the total amount of coin in the Cnitee
States, gold AID silver, is less than Sloo
900 600. II we divide this among $40,
900, 900 people it will give s3.07 TO eacl

for each man. woman and child. ant
France Sil 90. Does any body ocliev'
that the people of the United States cal
transact their necessary business witt
s3.o7 per capita?
Does not Mr.. BrisUin know that thi
country has never carried on its trad
aud commerce with gold and silver ex
clusively. and never will? Before til
war our principal currency was ban
notes. Does he not know that in In
gland only $50 OF every $4,000 c
currency are gold or silver And doe
he not know that even the Republics
programme contemplates that the na

Very well stated. so far as the repub-
lican party is concerned. But what
remedy does the Democratic party pro-
pose?
They propose to reduce taxation.
Very well as far as it goes. But will
that give employment to the hundreds OF

From Breckinridge Comfy.

CLovERPoRT April 80, 1876.
EDITOR HERALD--My attention has
been called to communication in your
paper over the signature of II. c. Tru-
man, in which allusion is made to
the candidates for judge of the Crimi-
nal court, and a statement made de-
signed to convey an impression so ut
tealy at variance with the facts in the
case, that l must ask sufficient space
in your excellent paper TO set the mat
ter right. l am surprised that any
one at all informed as to the feeling of
the people of Breckenridge should haz-
ard the assertion that there is any
doubt at all in their minds rs to the
election of the Hon. John Allen Muir
ray. II. G. T., if citizen of Breckin-
ridge at all, has certainly not been long
enough resident to have learned much
of the sentiments of our people, and
should be careful how he misrepresents
that sentiment. Murray, just, honor
able and upright in all his dealings,
learned and able in his profession, has
so endeared himself to the people that
he will receive a vote more nearly
unanimous than perhaps any man who
has heretofore been presented as can
didate for Office, and will go ont of the
county with such an overwhelming
vote-to be added to the majorities
and very large vote that he will re-
ceive in the other counties, as to insure
his election in the district by hand
some majority. Those who think 9TH
erwise in this county, are "few and
far between"
