More About Crooks Expedition.

1t is q little curious, to outsiders,
that the ex petitions which were to CO.
operate with Gen. Crook in his recent
campaign, eve left their respective
posts, and nothing whatever was done
to make the movement general from
the directions of Forts Ellis and Lin
coin. There WINS a great flourish Of
trumpets by Gen. Custer, in the Chi
cago papers, about the time Crook left
here, and one would have supposed,
from the ~bombastic talk of this new
Orlando Furioso, TINT all the troops in
mediately take the field under him,
and that there wouldn't be enough
left of the redskins to give Crook or
anybody else a mouthful. All at once
Custer simmered down, and the next
thing we heard of him was that he
was on his way to Washington to
shoot off his mouth before the confed-
crate committee on expenditures of
post traders There was no co-opera-
ton from Lincoln or Ellis. Crook,

took the field, and made n march of
nearly nine hundred miles through
the heart of the Indian country, en-
during the most bitter winter storms,
and left no work undone that it was
possible to do to get hold of the In
dians. He badly crippled one of the
worst bands that has infested this
frontier. and that the work was not
more thoroughly done by his subordi-
nate is no fault of his. But If Custer
and Brisbin had a little less time for
jaw-bone, and could have given n
little more attention to their duties,
doubtless there would have been fewer
Indians left o to harass the people
of wy oming and Montana and delay
still longer the opening up of their
resources.
What the country wants of these
talking n,ilitdires, is that they give us
less chin-music, and more of the kind
of music that Gen. Crook gives the
Indians.

that the State has not been properly dis

A Drowning Mystery.

LOUISVILLE, January l6.-The Body
of Amanda Adams, colored, was discov-
cred in the Ohio river at Jefersonville,
TO day. At the coroners inquest it WAS
developed that she WAS drowned at the
wharf last Wednesday, though whether
by foul means or accident was not learned.
4 cvlored woman named Anna Downs
swore at the inquest that she was with
Adams on Wednesday night at the river,
and that ore John Mays purposely
pushed her into the water. Mays stated
that Downs and Adams were on the
wharf on Wednesday before midnight,
and that he, from position on some
lumber flats near by, heard splash in
the water and saw woman who
he subsequently ascertsined was Downs
running rwsy. The jury did not con-
slider Downs evidence worthy Of belief,
and therefore did not order Mays arrest,
Another negro named Redding was with
Mays at the time OF the occurrence.
Neither he nor Mays informed the au
thorities of the drowning until twenty
four hours sfterward, and now Redding
is missing. The mystery produced much
excitement.

BeIIigerent Note from Spain ON the
Cuban q QuesttOn.

NEW YORK, January lG.-A Herald
Madrid special reports that the Spanish
govern ment has sent out diplomatic
note in reply to the American circular
on Cuban affairs. The reply is quite bel
ligerent in its tone, and takes a high
ground on all the questions raised by the
United States. The note declared that
commerce between Cuba and the United
States has not suffered TO any extent BY
the insurrection. Instead OF having been
diminished it has in reality increased
and is constantly increasing, so the gov
ernment OF the United States had
no occasion for complaint, and
no tenable grounds for its proposed
action or interference in the affairs or
troubles existing in Cuba, and attention
is also called 10 the fact that many Amer
lean citizens established themselves in
business on the Island and being unmo-
Tested by the Spanish government have
gained large individual fortunes, which
fortunes have not added 10 the wealth

eign hands. The territory OF the
United States is the con-
slant refuge for Cuban outlaws
who are permitted 10 hatch
conspiracy to the detriment and injury Of
the Spanish Government. In this the
laws Of nations sre outraged. All just
and equitable claims between the United
States and Cuba have been amicsbly and
fully satisfied, or are in courts Of adjust
u,apt tharefore there can be no cause for
complaint on that source. The Spanish
note is believed to be the work of Senor
Joyellar.

Omeial Pound Guilty.

Official Found Guilty.
INDIANAPOLIS, January 10. The
Jury in the McGif case returned sealed
verdict this morning Of guilty on nine
counts, and not guilty on three. The
defendant is found guilty on the third
count, as an internal revenue gauger, in
having accepted and received from John
W. Bingham and G. B. Bingham, dis
tillers, the sum of $500 as bribe, with
intent to have his action as such officer,
in reference TO the business of the said
Bingham, influenced thereby.
The fourth charges that the defendant,
as internal revenue gauger, made a GER
tair false and fraudulent gauge Of GER
tain distilled spirits of the Bingham's in
this, that as such gauger he inspected,
proved and gauged fifty casks o,
reetifed spirits for the said Bingham,
containing in fact 4 ,407 proof gallons
and having so gauged the said spirits, he
falsely reported the said fifty packages
to the Collector of the first District of
Indiana as containing 2,l46 proof gal
Ions only.
The fifth count alleges that the Bing-
hams removed from their distillery to q
place other than that provided by law, q
certain quantity of distilled spirits on
which the tax had not been paid, and the
defendant being internal revenue
gauger, had knowledge and infor-
nation of this fact but failed
to report the sam to Joseph G. Veatche,
collector of that district.
The seventh count charges the Bing-
hams with having caused certain stamp
ed packages of distilled spirits to be
emptied OF their:contents without destroy
ing or obliterating the stamp thereon,
and that the defendant as revenue gauger
being cognizant of the offence failed to
report it TO the collestor of the district.
The ninth count alleges that the Bing-
hams carried on the business OF distillers
with intent TO defraud the United States
of the taxes on the spirits distilled by
them, and that the defendant having
knowledge and information OF this ohense
failed to report the same to the Collector
of the First District.
The tenth count sets forth conspiracy
and collusion on the part of the Bing-
hams and the defendant to defraud the
United States of the taxes imposed by
the law on spirits distilled by the Bing-
hams while the defendant was an In
ternal Revenue gauger. The case OF
Brownee was continued until Tuesday
next. The hearing of the argument for
u new trial in the Hill case is set for
Monday.

Medicine .. . white Heat.

A young American under treatment
by DR.. Brown-Sequard, of Paris, writes
home an account of that physicians IA
verite method of treatment by the burn
ing of the flesh over. the spine, which Is
interesting in itself, and also as tending
to correct or modify greatly the preva.
lent conception of extreme physical tor
ture as a necessity Of the operation. In
the frst week of his undergoing the actual
cautery, there were four applications, the
first in seven places along the back, the
second and third on the head aRd the
back, the fourth on the head only. In
connection with this he took (separately)
iodide of potassium aAd arsenic, and sub
cutaneus injections of atrophine and
morphine. The burning he proceeds to
say, is not burning at all. "The instru.
ment is ofplstlnum(i. 4. C., as to the tip, land
is heated to white heat in q coal fire;
then it is applied two or three times
and Immediately put back in the fire for
the next application. While red
hot iron or platinum would make ter
rible burn, there is almost no pain what
ever when il is at white heat. l can't
say there is no pain, for at the moment
of application there is sensation almost
like that Of q burn; but the in
slant the instrument is removed the
feeling is gone, and there is no sensation
whatever after ward. There is, of course,
a scar at each point, with dry scab,
which wears of, leaving the skin in its
original state. So that it is really only
a drying of the outer layer of the skin;
there is no rawness Of the flesh. One has
only to guard against the rubbing
of the collar on one OF these
spots otherwise there isn't
the least Inconvenience. The skin Of the
bead heals still more quickly, though it
is rather more sensitive; and, in tact, the
sensitiveness increases somewhat after
the first application, both on the head
and on the back. 1t is rather worse than
a mosquito bite. to which Brown-Sequard
compared 1t, but stood it without yell
ing or groaning, and even without
without clenching my hands. The
severity OF the treatment has been very
much exaggerated in popular estimation,
and the above account is as near the
truth as words will allow.
