STANDING Rock, D. T., Sept. 7, 1876
A Cheyenne war party was reported as
lowering around the agency early this
week. but scouts w]lo were sent out
were unable to find any traces of them.
Yesterday scout, on his return from
Ft. Rice, was chased into this post by
party of ten or twelve Indians supposed
to be returning from the hostile camps.
An Indian also arrived here last night
from the hostile camps with message
from some of the hostile chiefs.
He is known to have left this agency
three weeks ago for the hostile camps.
While he does not claim to have been
in Sitting BULBS camp he says he was
with another much larger, where the
lodges and Indians covered all the
prairie. ..~~ .,,~
He reports these indians as abund.
antly supplied with fresh meat, buffalo
and antelope being in great abundance.
they are also reported to have more
arms and AMMUNITION than they know
what to do with. They daily watch the
naen who are engaged in building the
new posts on Tongue river, and say at
one time they might have destroyed
another body Of troops as they did the
lamented Custer and ais band, but they
thought they were going home and did
net care to distarb them for that rea-
son. This is supposed to have been
Gen. Miles and his regiment, when they
started back for the Yellowstone. They
are anxious to treat for peace and do
not care to fight the soldiers if they are
let alone, but if not, will fight for years
if necessary.
Company "H," 11th Infty, with Capt.
Gilbreath and 1t. Kislingbury, arrived
on the Nellie Peck Thursday morning,
from Texas. Two other companies of the
same regiment are still expected here.
The first issue under the new REGIME
to the Indians at this agency was made
by Capt. Johnston, 1st Infty, acting
agent, last Monday.
Those that had been counted were
issued to accordingly. The others we're
approximated satisfactorily, although
chiefs were receiving rations for only
about half the number of lodges they
had formerly claimed and received cred
it, for from agent Burke. s-,
Old Long Soldier showed some bad
blood in disputing the number oflodges
given him, and by emptying all his ra-
tions upon the ground from where it
was gathered by squaws of other bands.
This little episode created considea-
able confusion for "a few minu tes; In
:dians running off with the report that
an officer had been killed. Capt. John
.ston had his company fall in at4-the
agency building above the issue
building and was prepared to raise
some of the red devils with his long
toms had there really been any trouble.
Full rations Of -four were issued and
quarter and half rati0ns of sugar, r,cofee,
tobacco and bacon.
They evidently received as many ra-
tions as they had formerly for double
the number of lodges.

STAGE RoBBER kILLED.-The Eureka
Sentinel of las. Sunday contains the
following gratifying intelligence:
Last Thursday night when the stage
from Hamilton to Phoebe had arrived at
a point about six miles this side Of the
"Sheep Ranch" which is IS miles from
Hamilton, man suddenly sprang up
from the sagebrush and ordered the
driver to pass down that box" supple
menting the order with another to drive
ahead as soon as he had handed down
the treasure receptacle. The driver
passed down the box as directed, but
stated to the robber that there was bad
place in the road just ahead, which he
wished to examine before passing over.
Phil. Barnhart, Wells, Fargo Il Cos
messenger, was inside the stage, and
while the driver was engaging the road
agent in conversation Phil. shipped out
of the opposite side of the coach, and
passing around behind, joined IN the
conversation as he came up. saying he
must go on ahead and see if the road
was safe. The robbers attention was
thus diverted, and he was thrown COM
pletely off his guard, and when the
messenger approached near enough so
that his target was visable in the dark
ness, he raised his shotgun, and dis
charged both barrels. The horses,
frightened at the report, became un-
manageable, wheeled around and ran at
the top of their speed back to the first
station. The messenger picked up the
treasure box and leisurel " wended his
way back to the same point. The next
morning the dead body OF the robber
was found, riddled with bullests, on the
spot where he stood at the time the
weapon was discharged. He was not
known to any one on the stage or at the
station, and the body was taken TO
Phoebe for Identification. The lnessen-
ger deserves great credit for his strate-
gic maneuver. bravery and GOODNESS,
and we hope his employers will reward
him handsomely for his successful ex-
pl0it

BLAINE AND THE RAILROAD BoNDs.-
The Sub-Judiciary Committee OF the
House on Monday commenced an inves-
tieation of the charges against James u.
Blaine in relation to the Fort Smith and
Little Rock Railroad bonds. The fol-
lowing testimony is explicit and settles
the whole question:
Colonel Scott was sworn and. being
examined by Huntoon. testified that ne
formerly owned these rs bonds OF the
Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad
Company, and that he bought them one
wear and four months previous to his
selling them to the Union Pacific Rail
road Company. He gave $50, 600 for
the bonds, and sold them to the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, through Nor
ton, Bliss & Co.. for nearly $64 900.
When in March, 1871. he entered upon
the duties of President of the company
the stock was low down and everything
connected with it was depressed, but It
was not long before there was marked
Improvement in all its affairs. He had
! believed that the company would give
him liberal compensation for his SER
vices. He was pressed for money, more
than his salary, which he wanted, and
it was finally suggested that the company
should buy these '75 bonds Of the Little
Rock and Fort Smith Railroad Company.
He was to have the option Of buying
them back. The Executive Committee
agreed to buy the bonds at the price fixed,
through Morton, Bliss & Co., and the
bonds went to the Union Pacific Railroad
Company in this direct way and in no
other. His years salary had never been
paid, that would have been 5000 with
| interest. II the Arkansas road had been
completed the bonds would have been
worth from 80 to 100 cents on the dollar.
He had rendered the Union Pacific Rail-
road Company services for which there
| was no market value. He was satisfied
that if the Little Rock and Fort Smith
Railroad had been built its bonds would
have been as good as those Of the Union
! Pacific are to-day. The investment IN
| these bonds was because the company
wanted to do an equitable thing with
him. The company did not display the
| transaction or their bonds and never ex-
pected that it would become the subject
of an investigation by Congressional
| committee.

So Congress has adjourned at last
and the conflict between the two houses
has been the cause Of failure rs TO many
needed reforms. The House Of Repre-
sentatives has made vigorous efforts to
cut down the extravagant expenditures
Of the Government, and, to some ex-
tent, has succeeded. But the Radical
Senate could not tamely assent to re-
formatory measures which carried with
them direct or implied censure Of the
Administration. aud thus 1t came about
that comparatively little was really
achieved. The responsibility. however,
rests with the Republican Senator'S and
Executive, and they will be compelled
to assume 1t by the people. who know
that through partisan malignity they
have been cheated Of their dues. But
while saying this, we must admit that
in some respects the House Of Repre-
sentatives has itself failed to come up
to the high measure Of it, duty, Its
sips are those OF omission and hopes
are entertained that they may be cor
rected under more favorable auspices
when Congress next assemblies.
