Congress has made sensible move
in suggesting an increase of the cav
airy arm in view Of the requirements
Of the service. Infantry becoming
comparatively Ineffective against pre-
datory Indians, it is suggested that
this arm should be reduced three
thousand men and the force OF the
cavalry he raised TO nine thousand six
hundred sabres. AS we are not likely
to have any use for our soldiers except
REFRESHING hostile movements by
Indian tribes, our small army shall be
organized with special referance to the
requirements of Indian fighting.
What we need most is large force Of
light cavalry, capable Of moving
rapidly from point to point of our ex-
posed frontier and of following the
savages with some chance of success
over the Western plains. Infantry,
no doubt, can be made use OF with
advantage, but our infantry should be
composed wholly of rifle corps, III
which good marksmen should be re-
uuired as a test Of fitness for the SER
vice. Under the present system OF
ar,nv organization the Indian despises
the infantry soldier. because he feels
confident that he can accept or refuse
com bat with so slow all adversary ac-
cording as it suits his convenience

THE INDIAN WAR.

The news of the terrible disaster to
General Custer and his command in
the Black Hills is confirmed. Gen.
Terry is also killed. 1t is a dreadful
tragedy. The Indians won q bloody
victory, which they signalized with
merciless atrocity. That victory should
seal their doom. The death of those
brave leaders, Generals Custer and
Terry, with hundreds of gallant SOL
dierS, will doubtless result in the ex-
termination Of the savages. The char
acter of those Indians engaged i'll this
war was recently portrayed by Re-
preventative i'll Congress from Dakota.

We are told by persons who boast OF
their Christian philanthropy and trans

Linsier man ON cne silver Question.

DR. Linde.man, Director Of the Mint,
has " ,it.en letter to S. B. Euggles OF
the New York Chamber of Commerce,
in reply to some questions touching the
amendment pending in the House to the
Senate Silver bill. He says the pro-
position Of the House amendment is not
to establish . double or alternate stand
ard OF gold and silver based on the
present commercial relation of the two
metals, but to make 412 $40 grains of
silver niue-tenths O! dollar when its
worth is only about 4S-1OO cents in
gold. He adds that il such dollars
should be made unlimited tender it
would at no distant day expel gold from
The country. and when accomplished.
rs effective money il would cause foreign
exchanges to raise in proportion to the
deprication of the money unit. For
these and other reasons he does not
think it would be q wise policy to make
silverl an unlimited tender on the basis
proposed. 1t would no doubt make the
United States the best market in the
world for silver and cause the surplus
stock OF Germany. France and other
countries to CONS to the United States.
and giving our gold, cotton and other
products for it We should not sveh have
a reasonable prospect for arrssting its
depreciation. Linderman thinks the only
remedy from which beneficial and per
1nansut results can be expected is III an
convention called to con-
slider this grave question and to agree
upon the relations which gold and silver
shall in future bear to each other III

tho principal countries of the world.

THE New STATE.-CoioraGo voted on
the first day of July on the question Of
adopting o constitution. AS Congress
had some time ago passed An enabling
act, ii the terms have been accepted in
the vote of Saturday. nothing remains
to perfect her entrance into the Union
except the proclamation of the Presi-
dent, which will probably appear in q
few days. This State starts Off in the
centennial year with fine prospects.
There has been fair, but not rapid in
crease Of population. Railroads have
appeared up the country. Denver is a
bright and growing city, and there are a
number of smaller towns which contain
all the elements of future growth. If
the Act of admission is perfected in
season, Colorado will probably cast her
ELECTORAL vote at the coming election.

READ AND LEARN FOR YOURSELF.

Many valuable discoveries and much useful
knowledge is kept from the world, because of
the.immense expense in making them known to
the people. This is not the case with BoscHRE' s
GERMAN SYRUP, although but a few years in
troduced into this country, its sale now
reaches in every town and village in the o. S.
Its wonderful success in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Asthma, and all other diseases
of the throat and lungs, was first made known
by distributing every year, for three years,
over 400, 900 bottles to the afflicted, free of
charge, by Druggists. No such a test of merit
was ever given before to any other prepara-
tion. Could you ask more? Go to your

The facts of the case are as far as we have
been able to gather them, about as follows
Some two weeks or more ago the suspicious
of the officers and some of the directors Of the
Citizens National Bank of this place were
aroused by some proceedings of Gen. Woodall
in reference to certain notes which he had
left at the bank for discount, and the ease
and readiness with which be procured the
endorsement of men who were known to be
very careful and particular in such things
Suspicion being thus once aroused, to find
food for it, was an easy matter. Going
quietly to work the cashier proceeded cauti-
ously 10 push his Investigations until he had
obtained sufficient evidence to more than con-
firm his worst suspicious. At the same time
the officers of Odessa Bank, who had also
begun to conceive suspicious Of wrong deal
ing, had commenced investigations which had
the same result In the meantime, and before
any publicity had been given 10 the affair,
Woodall was covertly notified that his mall
feasances had been discovered and he was
warned to flee, which advice he took and
made his escape for parts unknown. This
warning was given to him at very early
hour on Thursday morning week and after
telling his family of bis troubles, which was
a terrible shock to them, be hastily sought
refuge in fight.
He had been guilty of the criminal act of
counterfeiting the signatures and forging the
names of sundry persons in endorsement of
promissory notes whereby he was enabled to
raise considerable sums Of money.
As soon as the matter became known the
holders of his notes, with and without en-
dorsement, began to be apprehensive for the
safety Of their claims, and thus the evidences
Of his guilt became stronger and more abund-
