The. Objects which Induced the selee-
tion Of Tilden.
The Indian Bureau has been advised
through one of it's inspectors, on duty in
the Black Hill regions, that the recently
appointed Commission, to treat with the
Sioux Indians, will have better opportu-
nifty to secure the whole Black Hill coun-
try to the Government than has ever bgen.
offered before. Adviccs from this imspcc-
tor nre to the effect that the Indians arc
beginning to understand that they will not
get fed unless they submit to tue desire OF
the Government To its endeavors to opeI
up the country for settlement.
The Government has impressed upon TIN
Indians that those settlers, who have nL
ready taken up their abode in the IIillsP
shall remain unmolestCd.
The frmncss OF the Government in IL
movement to put down he hostile uprising
of tho treachcrous Sioux has had a very
wholesome effect
The Secretary of War il in constant
receipt of letters desiring him to orICr
the discharge OF friends sons, or brotheE,
who have recently enlisted in the United
States army. In response to these ie-
quests it is almost impossible for him To
comply. Recruiting for the general sew
ice iS now going on, and has been since
the Sth nf last May. The recruiting officer
h ere informs me that no man is emitted
until the hardships of n soldiers life arc
fully explained t. him the description OF
the discipline he will encounter il eveI set
forth worse than the actual conditioh OF
things. In order to show that the army
does not desire recruits except those who
are fitted for a soldiers life, both by incl-
nation and sound bodily health, the follow
ing figures from the recruiting officers
books in this city are publinhed :..eiaec
the recruiting commenced, on the'Sth of
May last, 233 white men who applied for
enlistment were rejected and AZ cnliated
29l colored men were rejected and 20 en-
listed. If these recruits find army lite
not 80 rose coored ns they anticipated the
Secretory of War ia not to blame for it.
The military discipline the recriits
would be subjected to was impaired to
them at the tms of their enlistment, and
the Secretary respectfully declines 10 order
their discharge until the expiration OF
their term OF service.
P0stm 1sterships thro ughout the country,
l. e., those termed third class, whose salaries
range from 81 900 to ST. 900 inclusive, will
receive pecuniary benefit after October lst,
next, as by recent act of Congress most of
these officers are to receive slight increase
in compensation.
The eK-confederate House ousted several
Republican claimants to seats where there
was not the least doubt they were honesty
elected The same Republicans proposet to
run again for Congress, and have every as
surance of again carrying the day. They
have no idea of being crowded out of their
seats again because Republican House Of
will act upon their creden-
tiala.
One of the officers OF the Depocratic
House OF Representatives is about TO return
to North Carolina, his native State. lie
has remarked 10 several of his friends that
the campaign will be very active in his
State; that he hopes for a peaceful canvass
but, says he, very seriously, I" / am very
much afraid we shall have to kill two
prominent Republican politicians out
there" naming them at the sam nc time.
Col. j. s. Mosby, who made himself con-
spicuous during the war as an officer in
the Rebel army, but who, after it's close,
the situation, and has since Yield
ell n willing obedience to the condition Of
his surrender, has published letter in re-
ply 10 one received from Confederate
comrade, urging him (Mosby) to support
Tilden and Hendricks. This reply IL ar
and unanswernble He gives
ample reasons for the "faith that is in
him." few of which are as follows:
The ground on which you urge me to
support Tilden and Hendricks is that they
are the candidates of the Southern people
and, If elected, will be under their cotdrol.
Now, IL is becL use this thing is apparent
that the election of Tilden is an impossi
bility. In attempting to grasp too much
the South will loose everything. The sec
tional unity Of the South has been the bane
OF their politics"
Mosby again assures his correspondent
that call the Republicans propose is to
preserve what they have accomplished" in
to which, as stated by his
"if Tiiden is elected, he
will hc under the control of the Confeder-
ates." Again, says Mosby, "the Demo-
Gratis say they are going to rebuild every
thing if they get possession OF the govern
ment. Have you ever known party ont
of power that did not promise reform to
get in? Has there been any single abuse
exposed for which the Democrats have not
established precedent? Do you think
that higher standard of morality would
prevail in public life by transferring the
influence of Tammany Hall to Washington?
Has that been proper school to educate
rcformers" :" We apprehend that Morhy's
friend will find it to he difficult to pfnte
the position taken in the letter from Which
we have quoted.
Elect Uncle Jimmy Governor" cry the
Democratic editors in Injiany,"" and he
will run the Office on the same principles
as he does his farm" Undoubtedly! "To
able-bodied men So per month boys, 81
per mnn.h fourteen hours to the day's
work" Lcther hinges cheap fodder ia
boring men have no rights that employers
are bound to respect" "TObncco and
whisky for sale on the farm" This "mod-
ell " farm is constructed on the reform
principles of the great phlanIhropist I'll
den, and "impudent niggers" not employed
The leading objects which induced the
selection of Tilden at ST. LouiS were first
to squeeze from his well-filled purse Tho
last cent which he could be influenced Ia
invest in his nomination, and then the hope
that, by placing him at the head of the
ticket, the Empire State could be carrie
by the Democracy. The first object wal
realized at the place and time of his nom
ination. The second has been recedinl
from his party day by day until
"HOpes that beckon with delusivs CLEANS,
TIN the dances in the VOID Of dreams"
The auspicious action of the Republican
Convention of New York has been suppl.
mented by the contempnraneous action q
the Liberal Republican Convention oi tha
State. 1t has been resolved by that party
to give cordial support to Hayes nnt
Wheeler, and we think settled it," 1t il
beginning to be as plain AS the sun at noon
day, that the defeat of rilden in 1875 viii
be as disastrous as that OF his friend Sey
mour in 1868. ETA.
