Germany to President Grant. 1t was
delivered to the President on Independ-
ence Day by the German Minister
william, by the Grace of God Emperor of Ger many,
King Of Prussia, ETC., To the President of the
United States of America.
GREAT AND GOOD FRIGND 1t has been
vouchsafed to you to celebrate the Centen-
NAL festival of the day upon which the great
republic over which you preside entered the
rank of independent nations. The purposes
of its founders have by wise application of
the teachings Of the history of the founda-
ton of nations, and with an insight into the
distant future, been realized by develop
ment without 4 parallel. To congratulate
you and the American people upon this &C.
casion affords me so much the greater pleas
ure, because since the treaty of frie ndsbip
which my ancestor of glorious memory, King
Frederic H., who now rests with g cd, con-
Guided with the United States, undis turbed
friendship has continually existed between
Germany and America. and has been de-
veloped and strengthened by the ever-in-
creasing importance of their mutual rela tions,
and by an intercourse being more and more
fruitful in every domain of commerce and
science. That the welfare of the United
States and the friendship of the two coun-
tries may continue to increase, is my sincere
desire and confident hope. Accept renewed
assurance Of my unqualified esteem.

POLITICAL POINTS.

MIR. Blaine has been appointed by Gov. Con-
nor United States Senator from Maine in
place of Mr.. Morrill,, the successor of Mr.. Bris-
tow in the Ire asury Department.
Postmaster General Jewell has left the Cab-
net at the request of the President, and Mr..
Tyner, OF Indiana, late Assistant Postmaster
General, has been appointed to succeed him.
Mr.. Jewell resigned at the request of the Pres
ident and the change was q genuine surprise
to almost everybody in Washington. Mr..
Jewell called at the Executive Mansion, on the
evening of the 18th inst, to trans
act some business with the President,
when the latter, riuch to his surprise, in
formed him that his resignation would be de-
sirable. Mr.. Jewell Immediately wrote the
following letter Of resignation, which is all the
correspondence that transpred upon the sub
ject:
SIR: hereby tender my resignation of the Office
of Postmaster General. Your obedient servant,
MARSHALL JEWELL.
To the President.
Gov. Jewell asked no questions Of the Presi-
dent, and is therefore not aware of
the reason for the request, and men,
bers Of the Cabinet also say that they are
alike ignorant Of the motives that controlled
the President. 1t is asserted, however, in
some circles, that, in addition to political cor.-
siderations, the President was influenced by
GOV. JEWELS svowed friendliness to Mr. Bristow.
On the same day Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Pratt rendered his resignation, to
take effect on the 1st Of August. There APP
pears to have been disagreement between
Mr.. Pratt and the President touching the APP
pointment of officers. President Grant has
removed d. P. Dyer from the Office Of United

knew that succor was near. Gen. Terry, with

arrived, and as the comrades I'm arms met,

After congratulations TO the gallant commando

made for Custer, but none could tell where he

line of battle. Custer was among the
last to fall, but when his cheering voice was
no longer TO be heard the Indians made easy
work Of the remainder. The todies OF all,
save the Tribune correspondent alone, we're
stripped and most of them horribly mutilated.
Clusters was not mutilated. He was shot
through the body and through the head. KEEL
logg lay in the field as he fell, undistur bed.
The Indians lost heavily in the battle. When
Terry reached their village the camp was
strewn with robes gaudily painted, with
finely-dressed hides and interesting or valu-
able Indian trinkets. In burial tent they
left nine Of their chiefs, whose spirits had
flown to the happy hunting -ground ar

dead we're abandoned by the Indians,
evidently in their solctude for the woun ded.
Here was found the Grow scout who sur ived
the battle by hiding in ravine. He bel ewes
their loss to have been greater than the loss
Of the whites. for in the battle they were so
much more numerous and were the assaulting
party after the first dash. Col. Reno and his
officers agree with this estimate. The village
numbered 1900 lodges, and many willow
tepees had been added within a few days.
1t is believed by those who fought that the
warriors must have numbered 1000, The
casualties foot up 26l killed. and SO wounded.
Thirty-eight of the wounded were brought to

SALT LAKE, July 5.-The special cor
respondent of the Helena (Moptana)
Herald writes from Saltwater, Montana,
on July 2: Muggins Taylor, scout for
Gen. Gibbon, got here last night direct
from the Little Horn river. Gen. Custer
found the Indian camp of about 1900
lodges on Little Horn, and Immediately
attacked the camp. Custer took five
companies and charged the thickest of
the camp. Nothing is known of the OPP
erations of this detachment only as they
trace itby the dead. Maj. Reno command
ed the otherseven compapies, and attacked
the lower portion of the camp. The
Indians poured in murderous fire from
all directions The greater portion
fought on horseback. Custer, his two
brothers, nephew, and brother-in-law
were all killed, and not one of his de-
tachment escaped. Two hundred and
seven men were buried in one place, and
the killed are estimated at 800, with
only thirty-one wounded. The Indians
surrounded Reno's command and held
them one day in the hills, cut off from
water, until Gibbons command came
in sight, when they broke camp in the
night and left The Seventh fought
like tigers, and were overcome by mere
brute force. The Indian loss cannot be
estimated, as they bore off and concealed

BszEMAN, Montana, July 8, via SALT
LAKE, July 5.-Mr. Taylor, bearer of
dispatches from the Little Horn
to Fort Ellis, arrived this evening, and
reports the following The battle was
fought on the 25th, thirty or forty miles
below the Little Horn. Custer attacked
the Indian village of from 2, 500 to 1000
warrior on one side, and Col. Reno was
to attack it ON the other Three COM
panies were placed on hill as reserve.
Gen. Custer and fifteen officers and
every man belonging to the five COM
panies were killed. Reno retreated
under the protection of the re-
serve. The whole number killed was
315. Gen. Gibbon joined Reno. The
Indians left the battle-ground like a
slaughter pen, as it really was, being in
narrow ravine. The dead were much
mutilated. The situation now looks
serious. Gen. Terry arrived at Glib
bon's camp on a steamboat, and crossed
the command over, and accompanied it
to join Custer, who knew it was coming
before the fight occurred. Lieut.. Grit
tenden, son of Gen. Crittenden, was
among the killed.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Ex-Secretary Bristow appeared before the
House Judiciary Committee ON the 9th inst,
and was Intercepted concerning the attitude
fraud prosecutions. He declined to answer,
on the ground that Cabinet consultations were
matters OF high privilege.
A Washington dispatch says "there is every
reason to believe that the impeachment trial
will be shorter than predicted"
The House Judiciary Committee has decided
that it has jurisdiction in the cases of King and
Schumacher the Pacific Mail jobbers.
Lieut.. Fred Grant has been promoted by ths
President to First Lieutenancy.
Don Carlos accompanied by his staff, passed
through Washington last week. The party are
travelling strictly incognito.
The authorities at Washington are Of the
impression that the troops now in the West,
near the scene of the present operations
against the Indians, are numerically, as we'll
as in every other respect, able to enforce the
demands of the Government upon the hostile
tribes, and to effect the proper chastisement
upon them.
A Washington dispatch says the heat at the
capital at the present timo sis without prece-
dent, within reasonable memory, either in in
tensity or duration, and it is having marked
effect upon the health of Congressman and
those whose business takes them to the Capt.
tol. The Hall Of Representatives and the Sen
ate Chamber are both without direct commune
cation with the open air, being simply inn
mense rooms with glass ceilings and halls run
ming entirely around them. The floors are
like ovens, and the galleries are like furnaces.
When the doors of the Senate are closed, as
they are in executive session, the heat is in
tolerable."
Mr.. Blaine's family physician having tele-
graphed to the Judiciary Committee that abb
soute quiet is necessary to insure the recoy-
cry of the ex-Speaker, the committee have
decided to postpone further investigation OF
the Fort Smith and Little Rock bond matter
until the next session of Congress.

Gen. Sherman thinks the Indian "peace
policy" is played out. He was interviewed by
a correspondent the other day, and from lis
remarks il is evident that the military mean

ordered by Gen. Sheridan are to go TO Gen.
Terry, who will then have 1000 men at the
mouth Of the Big Horn. Sheridan says nobody
need be alarmed. The country is all right.
The whole Sioux nation cannot turn out over
4, 900 warriors, and they can easily be managed
