Another Interview With Gen. Custer
.-Presidential Candidates.


A lively interview with Gen. Custer is
published in the Toledo Sunday Jour.
nul. When asked how he thought Gen.
Sherman would do for President he is
said to have replied, ''Capital suggestion
He is trump any way you take him. Very
intelligent views of men and affairs and
unquestionably q great General. He would
run like steer" AS for Sherman's In
dian policy when elected: ''There would
be one grand Indian war and there would
be no more Indians. It would settle the
Indian question beyond the tomfoolery
Of Quakers and sentimentalists who don t
seem to know that every Indian every.
where is simply brute. You can't civil.
ize an Indian any more than you can
teach a rooster to lay goose eggs. Some
western man and a civilian will most like.
ly be the Democratic nominee. The
thing isin such mux it is hard to say.
Of course this is confidential, as we regu-
lar army chaps don't talk politics, but l
think Hendricks has the best show OF
any of them.''

London Telegram to Boston Herald
The Herald representative, after Win
slow had been remanded, visited him in
the Clarkenwell Hause of Detention where
he is confined. The unhappy man did
not at first recognize his visitor, but
shook hands in listless way, averting
his eyes. He was somewhat disinclined
to converse at the outset, but eagerly in-
quired for news from Boston, and seemed
anxious to learn the state Of public opin-
ion concerning this case. When told
that it was generally believed he had
taken away large amount of property
he replied: 81 did not expect this 1
can clear myself of these charges. All the
funds Of every kind VIC had with US when
left amounting to $4,000, and most of
this amount belonged to my wife in her
own right, being the proceeds of the sale
of snch of her private effects as were
saved when our honse at Arburndale was
burned. The money my wife's sister had
was given her by her uncle. I, myself,
had but $500. did not raise money on
the policies Of insurance on the house,
as is reported that story is false; except
that one ef the policies was transferred to

Here Winslow began to weep.
Winslow, during the whole converse.
tion, was, as before limited, much affected,
and wept like a child when alluding to
his wife and the misery she must endure.
he seemed to think more of the disgrace
that would fall on his family,
than of his own. He begged that
his vile be not left pennilcss, and entreat.
ed his visitor to use whatever influence he
| could command to have her sent home on
the same steamer that retnrns him to
Boston. In partaking from the Herald
correspondent, he says: "You are tele.
graphing to the Herald. Say that I ask
Massachusetts, to remember my services
in the army and navy. Tell them not to
condemn me until they have heard me.
1t is not justice to condemn man un.

The Grasshopper Invasion of 1876.
Reason to be Hopeful.

[Prof Riley of Missouri in N. Y. Tribune.1
The number of eggs laid in the States
Of Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska BY the
few struggling insects that passed over
that country last fall will not equal that
laid in ordinary seasons by indigenous
species. In Colorado, also, there have
been in most parts such abundant rains
since locust eggs were laid, and the ground
has been so unusually moist, that there is
some hope that the bulk Of the eggs are,
or will be, destroyed. The events of the
past eighteen months have so fully borne
out such predictions as I felt warranted
in making, that my opinion on this sub.
ject may have some weight.
I give it my belief that, first, in the
three States mentioned, there will not
hatch as many locusts next spring as
would naturally hatch in ordinary sea-
sons from the eggs of indigenous species;
second, that, compared with other parts
of the country, those States ravaged by
locusts last spring and early summer will
enjoy the greatest immunity during the
same seasons of 1875, not only from
locust injuries, but from the work OF
most other noxious insects, except the
woodborers. In short, the people of the
ravagcd section have reason to be hope
tu! rather than gloomy. They will Ger.
tainly not suffer in any general way from
locust injuries in the early season; and
the ONLY way in which hey can suffer
from the migrating pests is" by fresh
swarms later in the year from the far
northwest the odds being, however, from
number Of reasons which it is unneces.
sary to enumerate here, very great
against any such Contingency.

CHRISTIAN character OF his pastor, he
thereby has any claim upon the church
to unite with him in calling a mutual
council.
In reply to the fifth question, the
council say the local churches, however
Christian in fact, being disturbed by local
influences, may properly be excluded
from mutual council, and they regret
that Mrs. Moulton's representative did
not substitute two other churches for
those objected to, and thus crafty the
expressed desire of Mrs. Moulton for a
mutual council.
Question 6. Has Plymouth church. in
the principles and rules which it has pro-
vided for the maintenance of order and
the administration of discipline, or in any
known cases Of it's administration under
these principles and rules, gone beyond
its rights as a church Of Christ,
so as justly to forfeit its claim to the
confidence and fellowship of Congrega'
tional chprcnes?
In reference to this question the 'coun.
Gil says the part which relates to the
rules of the church, has already been an.
swered. The question of their applica-
ton to this case was decided by former
council. They regret that some one had
not sough hit from the pastor himself the
grounds Of the slanderous reports, &C.
cording to Matthew 18th. If this were
done, if the pastor were not guilty, he
