Y 1t has now been proven beyond dis
pute, that Gen. Custer was not scalped,
and that his body was not in any way
mutilated, and his uniform was not
stripped off by the Sioux. But it is a
fact that Buffalo Bill, white nan and
killer Of Indians, has just sent to his
friends in Rochester the scalp which he
cut from the head of the Cheyenne
brave, Yellow Hand, after he had kill
ed him, and the blanket, head dress,
and girdle which he took from the body
of Yellow Hand, after dead.

Communicated

To the Editor OF The Leader:
I notice in q late issue Of the Chey-
enne Daily Sun what purports to be a
history of the race track imbroglio, and
after following the story down to the
present time, allusion is made to the
fact that Mr.. Edward J. Morris was
arrested for perjury, alleged to have
been committed in the trial Of the case
of w. H. & J. T. Holiday VS.. my
self.
In the main the history of the legal
controversy is correct, but I desire to
ask the editor Of the Sun what right or
authority he or anybody else has to as
sume and assert that / had Morris ar
rested in order to discredit his testimo-
ny rs a witness in the case of G. A.
Emery VS.. the Holidays, which is now
pending? Does the aforesaid editor
know, when he makes that assertion,
that he is libelling me-publishing me
to the world as having been guilty Of a
malicious prosecution Of that posy Of
perfection, Mr.. Edward j. Morris, by
the grace of God and the ignorance OF
a certain J. p. of Cheyenne, nov at
large, whereas his proper place would
be started on the road to the peniten-
tiary?
But u word as to the merits
Of the case-for l don't care to
quarrel with Mr.. Slack, ifshe is slack
in some things that pertain to respecta-
BILE journalism I: Now, Mr.. Edward J.
Morris, ''by the grace of God, - etc.,
did testify on the trial Of that case to a
| wilful and malicious untruth, and an
untruth is a lie a lie sworn to in ju-
dicial proceedings on a material point,
is perjury, and in committing perjury,
as I assert he has done, he has blossom
ed out into a full 1edged, eligible candi-
date for the Territorial ~penitentiary.
Let mt state my a and leave It to
a discerning public to judge as to
whether Mr.. Morris is a p~erjurer or
not. On the trial alluded to, Morris
the race track. / swear that l did not
purchase it. George A. Emery swears
that l did not purchase it, but that he
did. Moreover, on the late examina-
| ton, Morris himself in his statement
admitted the falsity Of his former testi-
mony, and said then that he sold the
lumber to hem-that is, A. S. & G. A.
Emery, not to me individually. Hence,
it is easy to perceive how and wherein
he swore false, and If anything further
was necessary to demonstrate that fact,
it is to be found in the fact that Morris
at that time professed to consider G.
A. Emery not responsible, and that !
was.
He was holding such relations to Hol-
liday q Co., that unless he fixed the LA
bility on some responsible party he him
self was responsible to them for the
amount in controversy in the case,
which was something over 5000,
though Mr.. Morris was really the most
interested party that had anything to
do with the case, he at that time being
the agent for the Holidays.
am prepared to make good any and
| all assertions above made. / am sorry
to wound the feelings Of Mr.. Slack,
who is half brother to Morris, but ]
propose to stand by the record, and shall
do so against all gainsayers for several
generations after the heather Chinee,
including Morris, is played out.
/, A. s. EMERY.

The grasshopper yarn season has

being told by q Denver Cobb
who filed himself with corn
juice before telling it. The story is as
follows "Cobb had a nice garden a few
days ago, but the hoppers stopped a few
hours and that garden has practically
gone southwark. A few leaves that had
dropped on the chimney attracted them
thither, and after their departure some
trouble with the draft caused Mr.. G. to
examine, when he found 1t bored on
every side, admitting the wind from al
points of the compass, and each hole
containing a quantity Of half cooked
grasshopper eggs. A lawn mower that
had been left covered with grass had al

When the Indians attacked the ranch

When the Indians attacked the ranch
of ''Ranger'' Jones, on July Both, they
drove Jones and his men into their
dug-out, and kept them there for two
days. Tuesday night, August l, they
escaped and made their way to lifts
ranch, about forty miles south, or the
Platte. The Indians shot and killed a
horse, under one of the men, and
wounded two others. They captured
and got away all the horses on the
place except those ridden in by the
men, getting twenty or twenty-five al
together. They also got four or FIVE
horses from another ranch, Ante
lope. two or three days before. There
is no doubt that this is the same squad
of Indians that raided the same section
of country in May last and killed Ira
cy's three men. They number four
teen.

The War Against the Sioux.
DETAILED INTELLIGENCE FROM
CROOKS COMMAND.
What Gen, Sherman Thinks Of die Recent
Peace Proposition.

AS announced in previous dispatches,
Gen. Merritt, with his force, Joined
Gen. Crook August Sd, and they are
now ready for aggressive action. This
united column has over POO fighting
men. Under the new organization
Merritt is the ranking officer of cavalry
and Col Chambers commands the in
fantry. The entire column, with the
pack train was to move at once toward
Tongue river with its 800 pack mules,
10000 rounds of ammunition, $4,000
rations and no forage. This is the
lightest marching condition. The men
and horses are in the finest possible
trim. Scouting parties have discover
ed large fresh trails of Sioux leading
toward the Lower Tongue and Powder
rivers.
1t is believed the savages are in need
Of yictuals, as picked a Of dogs
are found around their camps. They
have fired the prairies to ruin pasturage
and render cavalry useless.
Gen. Terry had not been heard from
for a month. He is believed to have
nearly 1000 men. e
Gen. Crook made speeches to his men
before starting, representing the neces-
sity of each man doing his duty.
On the 30th of July twenty Ute In
dams from the Uinta agency, accompa-
MED by half a dozen more Snake vol
unteers, very unexpectedly joined
Crook. The Indian allies will be under
the command of Maj. Randall. The
irregulars will be commanded by Col.
Stanton, and Buffalo Bill will have a
command by himself.
The health of the entire command is
very good. Every preparation for
transporting the wounded has been
made. Should the enemy break up into
small parties it is intended to follow
them up accordingly. How the Sioux
succeed in living off the country is a
mystery to everybody. The weather is
quite warm, with little rain. Grass
hoppers are numerous.
SHERMAN ON THAT s'sNIDEn PROPOSE
TIoN.
Gen. Sherman says the proposition
from the Agency Indians that a cessa-
ton Of hostilities with Sitting Bull and
his adherents shall be arranged in the
interests of a permanent peace is alto
gether out of the question for several
reasons. The Indian tribe with which
Government is at wal is not such a ma
ton as to allow establishing any nego-
tiation of this or of any character. No
confidence can be placed in their prom
Uses, while another patent reason not
~favoring the proposition of the peaca-
BILE Indians at the Agency is that the
request does not come from the hostile
tribes and there is no ground for be-
lieving there is a desire for peace. Gen.
~Sheridan's views on the proposition
have not yet been received at headquar-
tiers.

aphorism the unterrifed Southerner may
take profitable warning.

NEARLY five millions of citizens were
added to the population of the Southern
States by the eenfrsnchisemento of III blacks.
Based upon the increase of population is
estimated the representation in Congress.
Now, the policy of the Toombs- Hill school
of practicing intimidation and the grossest
of frauds upon the colored race in Georgia
mas thus far, with some exceptions, entirely
disfranchised that people. 1t becomes
serious question with thoughtful persons
whether or not the Government will not be
forced in self-defense to appropriate money
to defray their expenses, and thus encour-
age the colored citizens of Georgia and
other communities where this terror holds
sway to emigrate to regions where they
will be guaranteed in the enjoyment of
equal rights. This course will either have
to be adopted or else Congress will have 10
declare that a republican form of govern
ment no longer exists in those communities,
and remand them TO territorial condition
until they are educated up to a standard
which will result in their ceasing to violate
one of our most essential constitutional
mandates
National Republican., 1876-09-12

IT is DIFFICULT to conceive of anything
more audacious than the arrogant and
supercilious air assumed by the unrecon-
structed Southerners. From the style in
which they enforce their peculiar ideas
one is almost impressed with the thought
that there never was Vicksburg or
Donaldson, and that General Grant was
forced to deliver Lee his sword at Apo
mattox. Men who but a decade since
were in doubt as to whether or not their
rebelhous lives would be spared, or
whether they would have to atone on the
gibbet for their treason and unprecedented
barbarities, are now the governing spirits
of the South, proud monarchs of all they
survey. Themselves the spared monu-
ments of mistaken clemency, these men
have Systematically set about expressing
large class of fellow-citizens whose suffer
ings since the war were caused by their
loyalty to the Government Such men as
Tucker, Hill, Singleton and others who
forfeited their lives by participation in the
rebellion, now constitute a body whose
province it is to defend Ku-K Klux murderers,
and demonstrate to the poor Southern
whites how they may murder Republicans
without incurring the penalty of violated
law. The Southern rebel will hereafter
take rank as the checklist individual upon
record. Having just had the moose taken
from his treacherous neck, he systemati-
cally encourages murder and rapine upon
a large class of loyal citizens, and becomes
noisy in his denunciation of the Govern
ment because its powerful arm is out
stretched at last to shield its weak children
from the Jaws of ravenous political
wolves. For effrontery and cheek that
surpasses all comprehension, commend US
to Southern Democratic statesmen.

Drew came before that court and claim I'd

loyalty so conclusively that the United
