THE expedition in which General Gus
ter lost his life, was not, as many SUP
pose, an invasion of the Indian Reserya-
ton in the Black Hills, but to compel
Sitting Bull and other wandering and
hostile Sioux to go upon the reservation
assigned them by the Government. The
disaster is attributable to the rashness of
the attack. Had Gen. Custer waited till
the reinforcements came up, the event
would undoubtedly have been different.
The charge of five companies upon
camp of two thousand lodges was dar-
ing feat for even SO dashing and intrepid
a fighter as Custer And the Indians
seem to have been prepared for it. The
Indian policy of President Grant has
borne bitter fruit.

The perfect uniUn of the Democratic
party on the st. Louis ticket renders its
success almost morally certain. The en-
thusiasm for Tilden and Hendricks in
the west was held in check for a few
days by feeling of disappointment, but
the second, sober thought, like that
which moved the party to the support of
Polk and Dallas in 1874, has given il an
impetus, and revived the old Jackson
spirit which is now sweeping over the
whole country.-AHiance Leader.

A MURDERoUs affray occurred at Ham
burg, South Carolina, close to the Geor.
gia line. 1t seems company of negro
militia drew a Gordon across the streets
and refused passage to anybody, and
made prisoners of those who undertook
to go to their homes. The town was put
under martial law in time of peace, and
without any authority. Some young
men who had been detained went before
a negro Major General and Justice of
the Peace, and made information against
the militia officers who were obstructing
public travel. The negro official ordered
the arrest of the militia officers, who, or
dering their men to load their guns, de-
fed the law. The fight that ensued was
a natural consequence. The whites raj
lied at last, got a cannon and soon dis
persed the colored company, killing sew
eral.

GRANT has driven his Jewell from the
Cabinet in most arbitrary manner, and

Hendricks,

We hear a great deal about Governor
Tilden being trained politician, great
in organizing politicians and managing
conventions. This gives very incor-
rect idea Of his character. He is undoubt.
edly an excellent politician, because he
is man ofgreat acuteness, patience and
devotion to duty; and attention to poll
tics is one of the duties of every Ameri-
can citizen. But Mr.. Tilden is not pol
itician in the low and mere sense of
management and intrigue. He is man
of principle and conviction, genuine
philosophic Democrat like Jefferson and
Silas Wright; and he seeks to accomplish
his ends by appeals to reason and patri-
otism, and not by trick and chicane y.
If there were many more such politicians
the country would be great deal better
off than it is.-N. Y. Sun.

In response to a serenade, after the
ratification meeting in indianapolis, on
Saturday night, the Sth inst. Gov. Hen
dricks made short address, closing in
the following language: 81 would not
say word against Governor Hayes. l
would speak of him as well as his most
partial friend, but his election is but the
continuance in power of the men who
have controlled the politics and the ap-
pointments Of Grants administration
If elected can he disregard Gov. Morton's
power in Indiana, Cameron's sway in
Pennsylvania, or Conkling's lordship in
New York. They say he is an honest
man Was not the same said of General
Grant four years ago. In speech that
/ made in the Academy of Music, the
first in my canvass for Governor, said
that if left alone Grant would make a
better President, but the surroundings,
the influences, and the political power
that would control his administration
would bring upon the people the ills
which we now deplore. l have ben in
formed that during the next week will
be formally notified of my nomination
on the ticket at st. Louis, l will then an
nounce my action, and l trust it will be
satisfactory to the Democracy of Indi-
