The first is the $3.50 paid for the

With in the disastrous Virginia fire,
the latter gentleman was unable 10

competed to pay the full $3.50.
Mr.. Chapin's 500 appears in the
subscription list, and hence the full
$3.50 appears in my list Of expendi-

The second item is the $tS1 50 re-
lating to the loss by the church fall

terms of the contract was not eN

this loss.
But, by all laws Of equity and fair
ness | felt myself strongly called mp

There was not shadow Of blame
on the part Of the contractor.
He hid done his work ms laid down
in the spceii ations. The building

exposed, and was swept away by nm

There was no fault, it was a sad
misfortune.

the contract that he was only allow

he had been compelled To stand the

JUSTICE" AND "BuMaNITY."

The Universal Peace Union was in
convention here to day and sent tele-
gram to the President asking that a
spirit Of justice. humanity aud fairness.
and not revenge, shall be- manifested in
tho treatment OF the Indians of the
Black Hills Philadelphia dispatch.
What modest request? II should
certainly be complied with. Its phil.
antbrophy and sagacity are about equal.
lacking as II does. common sense and q
knowledge OF the higbtoned and badly
treated red nobleman the government is
endeavoring to subdue. When the
chivalrous Sioux and the gentle Black.
foot read the dispatch over their morn
ing pipe, q silent grunt OF satisfaction
will probably be the expression OF
savage content. We ought al all hazards
preserve our fine feelings, our innate
sense OF what is due our red brother.
What does it matter If Custer is killed,
or that three hundred brave men lay in
death? The peace Union" and it's in
dividual members little profits are not
affected thereby. BY all means let the
counsels OF the Peace Union prevail.
let the frontier inhabitants sit still and
permit the high-minded and lofty.
spirited, though somewhat cratic, Sit
ting Bull to cut their throats. Anything
is preferable to hurting our red brothers
feelings. Do not blast the tender sen.
sibility and touching simplicity of bis
nature. Forbear and listen to the sweet
voice OF the Philadelphia Peace Union.
The Government in the meantime may,
before the next Centennial. drop on the
idea that It's method Of treating those
human devils as sovereign nations, is
expensive folly. Treat the Indian as he
deserves, give him fair show; il he
works and behaves himself, reward him.
il he steals. inflic. fitting penalty; il he
kills white folks. hang him; quit fooling
with him, subjugate him and make him
at least fear a government he will not
respect.

A Survivors, story.

A Chicago special from Fort Fetter-
man gives the substance of an interview
with Captain Grant Marsh, of the steam
er Far West The captain states that
on the evening OF the day after Clusters
fatal engagement with the Sioux, while
the boat lay about fourteen miles from
the battlefield, Crow scout appeared a
short distance from the bank of the river
with his head. face and shoulders CON-
| pletely developed in a blanket similar to
those in use with the Sioux. He was
| trembling with excitement, and seemed
to hesitate in approaching the steamer.
! He tried by signs to indicate that Gus
ter's force had been entirely surrounded,
and was soon recognized as one who had
been with Custer. He was then taken
| on board the boat. and related that he
had escaped death by resorting to s,rate-
gy. While the fray was raging hottest
on the morning of the 9th. and while
Clusters forces were being routed and
cut down from every quarter, he escaped
to the Little Big Horn, near which the
fight took place, washed off his Crow
paint. appropriated the apparel of
dead Sioux. and joined the Indians in
their charge upon The white forces. He
took the first opportunity to desert the
ranks OF the enemy, and had lost no
time in making his way to the river. He
stated that on the day of the fight the
Sioux completely enveloped the cavalry
force. Custer killed his horses, using
the remains for breastworks, and fought
desperately, the Indians charging his po-
sition time and again, and losing heavily,
the Grow believes more men than Custer
did. One company, that of Captain
Smith, tried to cut it's way to the rear,
but they were all killed and their bodies
lay some rods from Custer. all in knot.
Colonel Cook, with his heavy flowing
beard. was the last one standing that the
Indian recognized. Custer and his CON-
mand were all killed within one hour.
Clusters command having been finished,
the Indians gathered their entire force
about Reno. leaving the squaws to mutt.
late the dead and murder the wounded.
The remains bear evidence of the tor
ture. Some seem to have been shot with
arrows while still living, and others were
horribly mutilated. The heads of nearly
every one had been crushed with stones
| and clubs; when, in other cases, their
heads were severed from their bodies,
the entra,ls had been taken out and from
many the limbs were chopped of. Other
bodies were partially burned. A few
not found, but clothing belonging to
them was found and recognized. The
cavalrymen who we're in Reno's battle
say the Indians picked off Renos men
at the rate of two or three an hour from
points beyond the reach of cavalry car
bines.

WAS a passenger. and yielded mp $50. ell
that he had about him. He remarked

in that region and would like to borrow

amount was obligingly returned to him.

gives visitors very correct idea OF how
mining is carried on in this country and
all hands seem deeply interested in the
process. The most reasonable con-
cluson is that these unfavorable &C.
counts have had their origin in the old
committee quarrel which waxed SO warm
last year. Senator Stevenson's mill is
undoubtedly a success.
