XIII Eagles Story.

Wo publish in another column the story
told by Kill Eagle, an Indian chief who was
present with number Of his young men in
Sitting Bulls camp at the time of the Custer
fight. He denies having taken part in the
battle; but that, probably, is due to fear
of possible consequences. In its chief points
this Indians story does not differ very ma
terially from the account given by the white
soldiers, but it sets at rest the rumors that
Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse lost their lives
in the encounter. The picture of life in
Sitting Bulls camp and the authoritative
description of that now celebrated chief will
be read with interest. There is touch of
comic pathos in Kill Eagles story of his
treatment by his brother Indians He bore
with great equanimity reproaches, blows and
wounds but the height of indignity was
put upon his head when the Indian warriors
deprived him of the savory dish of ..dog,"
which his devoted daughter was pre-
pairing to appease his hunger. Here the
zone touch of nature, which makes the
whole world kim" shows as that the red
man, like his white brother, is most sensible
to those wrongs which affect his stomach.

woodward's Capture.

The arrest of Elbert A. Woodward, one of
the principal actors in the Tammany Ring
robberies, will give an additional interest to
the return of Tweed. The head Of the con-
spiracy will be astonished to learn, when he
reaches New York, that his most trusted
agent is already in Jail awaiting trial for his
crimes Woodward, no doubt, knows every
fact connected with the details of the frauds
and forgeries committed by Tweed and his
associates, and should he make O con-
fession, as he intimates in his inter-
view with our Chicago correspondent
he is very likely to do, the conviction Of
Tweed on the grave criminal indictments
still hanging over his head may be ON easy
matter. The business of Woodward was to
present the fraudulent warrants at the bank,
to certify to the correctness of the forged in
dorsements and to divide the proceeds
among the conspirators It win be remem-
bered that certain percentage of the plum
der was never satisfactorily traced to its re-
ceivers, and probably we may now learn
exactly where this amount was placed. All
sorts Of rumors have been afloat in regard
to its destination, many of which are now
revived, and it is alleged that much conster-
nation has been occasioned in certain quar-
ters by the intelligence of Woodwards ar
rest. 1t is to be hoped that the captured
agent may make a clean breast and tell all
he knows The people would like to get at
the bottom facts Of the Tammany robberies,
and O full confession is Woodward's onlv
chance for lenient sentence.

Tho New Cab Company and tho Old
ProprietOrs.

We publish elsewhere communication
cab enterprise, in which it is insisted that
the present cab proprietors will not be in
jured, but, on the contrary, will be bene-
flied by the establishment of the proposed
joint stock company, inasmuch as they will
be compelled to reduce their rates of fare to
the company s rates, and will, in consequence,
do business enough to realize larger profit
than they make under the existing system.
The writer of the communication seems to
forget that the hacks now in use are for the
most part more expensive vehicles than those
proposed to be put into service by tho new
company, and that small proprietor, own
ing from one to half dozen hacks, even if
not burdened with debt, cannot contend
successfully with rich corporation having
q large cash capital and paying ready money
for its vehicles. horses, feed, &c. The pres
ent proprietors in such competition must
60 to the wall, and the company will not be
long in existence before it becomes practi-
cally monopoly. The HERALD favors now,
as it has formerly urged, tho proposed en-
terprise. Individual interests should not
be allowed to stand in the way of the public
good, and a reasonable rate Of cab fare is
certainly needed in New York and will be OF
great convenience to tho residents and to
those who visit the metropolis. What We
propose is that the present hack propretors,
large and small, shall be afforded an oppor-
tunity to become interested in the new en-
terprise on favorable terms, 50 that instead
Of being thrown out Of employment and
ruined, which they are certain to be if forced
into competition with rich company, they
may be enabled to remain. in the business
they have so long pursued. Lot them be-
como partners in the enterprise and give il
the advantage Of their experience. The
public will not be injured. tho company will
be benefited and number Of industrious
and for the most part civil and obliging men
will be saved from the loss of their business,
which thsy cannot hope to keep alive when
thrown into competition with q powerful
combination, backed by half million dol

fer on the city. Then there is Mr. John
Grenville Kane, q gentleman who is thor
oughly familiar with the city's needs, who
who would make an admirable Mayor.
Finally, we name for the consideration Of
Messrs Kelly, Morrissey and O'Brien,
Judge Brady. Of his ability no one pre-
tends to doubt, and his nomination would
not only secure the Irish support, but, being
a great favorite among the Germans, he
would capture that famous German vote
about which SO much is written in these
days.
Here are good men to choose from only
we advise the democratic chieftains not to
waste time in further chickering's There is
no time for them to lose. Mr.. Kelly may
not expect much of Mr. Tilden as President,
but he cannot afford to defeat Mr. Tilden
If he insists on having his own way he may
bring general disaster upon his party, and
that would undoubtedly put an end to Mr..
Kelly. There is SO little time to waste, and
the agreement Of these city magnates is SO
important to his own success that we advise
Governor Tilden to try to reconcile the con-
flicting powers. He has the reputation Of
being an adroit and successful manager Of
men no prides himself upon his art
rs peacemaker here is an op-
portunity for its exercise in man
ner which will rebound not only to
the city's good, but his own. If, by his
interposition, the next week should see q
thorough and hearty reconciliation between
Messrs. Kelly, Morrissey and O'Brien if the
Governor could persuade Mr.. Kelly for once
to surrender his own wishes to the general
interest and submit to follow instead of
leading, not only may New York get good
and capable Mayor, but the democratic
chances in November may be greatly i'm
proved. It does not need any elaborate
demonstration to show the democratic lead
ers that they cannot afford to lose or to
hazard New York 1t is, as we have shown,
is, as everybody knows, an uncertain State I;
even Governor Tilden's well known man
agement did not secure the expected results
last year; and he should not now rest until
the warning factions in this city are recon-
ciled, until harmony is restored and the city
nominations are settled in such manner that
the democratic candidates shall command
general confidence and shall be sure Of the
hearty and full support of all three of the
city chieftains. 1t is probable that the Gov
ernors Intervention may do good in dis
pute where the offices Of mutual friend are
needed, and where he, as the head of his
party in the country, can interfere with the
voice of authority and without being sus-
pected of favoring any one of the rivals at
the expense of the others.

Unyorthy Nominatiens.

The air is filed with rumors to the effect
that some of those who are most active
in bringing together Tammany and anti
Tammany have in view the elevation
Of incompetent persons to the Bench.
The accomplishment of such o purpose,
if it exists, must be defeated. 1t can be
done if the people have the will to do it.
The people are superior to the politicians,
and our political managers must be taught
that the giving away Of such places as Surro-
gate to unworthy and incompetent men can
only bring disaster. Improper nominations
are often condemned by the popular will, as
in the case where Miles O'Reilly was op-
posed to the regular Tammany candidate
years ago, and as in the municipal election
last year, when the whole Tammany ticket
was beaten. Already on two occasions have
the people defeated the attempt of the poll
ticians to place an incompetent police magis-
trate in our highest courts, and we are con-
vinced that they will continue to condemn
unworthy nominations
The Office of Surrogate is one of the most
important in the gift of the people of this
city. Iti not only judicial in its character,
but judicial office in which the incumbent
is Mt once the judge and the jury. The Sur
rogate daily hears and determines cases in
volving thousands and often millions of
dollars. The most delicate questions of law
and of fact come before and are determined
by him. In such an officer honesty is an
important quality but it is not more i'm
portant than sound judgment and legal
learning. The Surrogate ought to be good
lawyer. capable of filling the highest posi-
tions on the Bench. We are afraid our
people have been overlooking these things
in the selection Of candidates for the place,
and have failed to regard the position as
what it is-a judicial Office of tho highest
consequence. If this had not been the case
the politicians would not dare to offer their
incompetent and improper candidates for
the place. The importance of the Office, too,
has been kept out Of sight for the very pur-
pose of making it place to be filed by in
competent persons. The Mayoralty is
scarcely SO important, and the people of
New York cannot afford to give all their
attention to the nominations for Mayor,
while none is paid to the selection of cam
didates for an Office the incumbent Of which
has in his keeping the interests and dearest
rights Of every family.

THE TICKETS FOR Mayor n-John Kelly has
given his opinion of the way in which the
union should be effected between the two
parts of the city democracy, and it is a very
good one. Tammany is 20 make its ticket
and anti -Tammany to make its ticket, each
separately then committees of conference
are to meet, and out of these two tickets mako
one ticket which the united democracy can
support This will make it possible for the
anti-Tammany men to do great public
service by putting on their ticket as .
candidate for Mayor the right sort of man.
On the Tammany ticket there will, of course,
be one of Kelly's candidates, and against
such ticket the anti-Tammany men may
hold out and insist upon the acceptance of
the man they name. They will have the
support of the puhlin-

yoN ARNIM's AGONY is probably over at
last; but the report OF his trial for high trea-
son which reaches us by cable conveys q
very queer idea Of the judicial machinery of
the German Empire. If We had not that
sympathy for the fallen diplomatist which is
given to the under dog in every unequal fight
we would look on the description of the trial
ne have received as the skeleton of scene
IN an opera Jo'.Ge, so truly farcical are the
dement's and with such high personagcs it
deals. Count Arnim is personally safe, but

OPPORTUNITY OF THE ANTI TAMMANY MEy.-

surrendering to John Kelly and permitting
