its proper place. MOSES was a meek man, but
he was also man OF decision and courage, and
he possessed the powers Of leadership.
We fear that Gov HAYES has too much
meekness for his other virtues. lie must not
entirely abneRate his own Will, or give himself
wholly up to the control Of other people, at
this stage OF the political canvass. When ne

to be great deal Of whiskey drinking and
drunkenness on the Fourth. In this respect,

ter the charge, as they were only
traced by their dead. Major Re-
no attacked the lower part Of the
camp with seven remaining com
panies. Gen. Custer, his two
brothers, nephew and brother-in

others were killed; only thirty
one being wounded. Two hun
dred and seven men were buried
in one place. The Indians sur
rounded Renos seven companies
and held them in the hills one
day away from water, Gen. Glib
bons' command then came in
sight and the Indians broke camp
and left in the night.
The remnant of the seventh
cavalry and Gibbons command
are returning to the mouth of.
Little Horn, where there is a
steamboat. The Indians got the
arms Of the killed soldiers. Sew
enteen commissioned officers
were killed. The whole Custer
family died at the head of the
columns.

Saturday, June II, after the

Hayes is a candidate whose
weakness and unimportance are
his principal recommendations to
the Republican party. His rec
ord is brief and slight, though he
is fifty-four years old.
May 8, one month and eight days
previously, it said of the same
man, in predicting his nomina-
ton:
Gov. Hayes is far from being
an inferior or unworthy charac-

a gentleman; he is rich and inde-
pendent; he served with credit as
a soldier in the war, and his rec
ord as Governor of Ohio is with

Mr. Cadwallader, Acting Secreta-
ry of State, presentad Mr.. Schlos~

President for the purpose Of de-
livering an autograph letter of
congratulation from the Emperor
Of Germany. Mr.. Sehloser, in
presenting the letter, stated that
he was instructed by his Majesty
to deliver upon the fourth day of
Julwto the President in. person,
an autograph letter of cOngratu-
lation upon the occasion of the
centennial anniversary, and wish
ed to add his personal good wish

himi Of his satisfaction in receiv-
ing this evidence of good feeling
on the part Of his Majesty; that
his kind eXpressionsfor the Uni

and that the letter shOuld he

lation of the letter is asfollows:
WILLIAM, by Grace ofl'God En-
peror of Germany, King of -Prus-
sia, etc.-To the President Of the
United States of America, great
and good Fiiend:-It has been
'vouchsafed to you to celebrate
the centennial festival of the day
on which the great Republic, over
which you preside, entered the
rank of Independent nations. The
purposes of its founders have, by
4 wise application of the teach
ings of the history of the founda-
ton of nations, been realized by
development without parallel.
To congratulate you and the
American people on such an oc-
casiOn affords me so much the
greater pleasure because since
the treaty Of friendship which my
ancestor of glorious memory.
King Frederick H., who now rests
with God, concluded with us, un-
disturbed friendship has continu-
ally existed between Germany
and America, and has been devel-
Oped and strengthened by the
ever increasing importance OF
their mutual relations and by an
intercourse becoming. more and
fruitful in every domain Of com
merce and science. That the vel
fare of the United States and the
friendship Of the two countries
may continue to- increase is my
sincere desire and confident
hope. Acceptrenewed assurance

MEXICO.
DEATH OF Gen. SANTA ANNA.


Advices from Mexico are to
June %. No important engage
ment had occurred between the
government and the revolutiona-
ry forces, as the latter avoid a
general engagement and appear
unwilling to risk battle. Minor
military events are generally IA
vorable to the government. The
rainy season which was beginning
will impede operations.
Preliminary elections for Presi-
dent will be held July 9th. There
was no opposition candidate to
President Leroda. The revolu-
tionists are trying to prevent the
holding of the elections, and in a
majority Of districts may prevent
a constitutional election. The rev.
olutionists claim that the re-elec-
ton of Ieroda will insure his over
throw. This will probably hap
pen eventually though the gov
ernment at present is able to
maintain itself. Gen Santa Anna
died on the Goth of June. He was
"a years old.
