- AhOtaSC cHhvC AhH
New YORK. July 26.
A Washington dispatch dated July
25th says: The advocates of the Silver
bill showed to-day a desire to avoid
discussion on it, if possible, and while
they propose to allow separate votes to
be taken on two or three amend
ments they intend to force the bill
through the House under the opera
ton of the previous question.
Carpenters Argument In the Bel
KNAPP Case.
WASHINGTON, July 26.
The impeach ment trial was resumed
Immediately after the Senate was called
to order, and Carpenter continued his
argument for the defense. He denied
that Belknap had received money with
intent to have his official action
swerved, and without that intent there
was no crime. Carpenter then spoke
OF m peachable crimes and argued that
Belknap had not committed any crime,
aud even if he had taken brides the
courts here in the District we're ade-
quate to deal with him. He comment
ed at length on the question of juris-
diction, and cited many legal author
tiles upon the subject TO show that the
Senate had no jurisdiction.
Movement Of Troops.
Fir. FETTERMAN, wy, July 25.
General Merritt reached here with
eight companies of the Fifth Cavalry
this afternoon, and intends leaving for
the front tomorrow morning, taking
with HIM a small body of recruits for
the Fourth and Ninth Infantry. 1t is
thought that Gen. Crook will advance
upon the Sioux within twenty-four
hours after this reinforcement reaches
him, which will be in about nine days.
A battle may be expected almost inn
after the advance, as the In
dams are massed in large numbers in
the neighborhOod of Crooks COM
inand, and are rendered owe confident
by their late success. Merritt's COM
mand amounts i'm all to about $50,
will give Crook an. available
of something over 1000. The
army is we'll equipped, is supplied with
two months rations, and officers and
men are alike confident that the cam
plign will be a success. 1t is gener-
ally thought that an attack will be
made upon the cavalry before they
reach headquarters.

man says: Merritt's column of the
Fifth Cavalry leaves heret o join Crook.

Latest from the Front.
CHEYENNE, July &c.
Adyices from General Crooks com.
mand, in camp on the South Forth OF
Tongue river, July %, via Fort Fetter-
man, July rs, are of importance. The
main body OF the Sioux are believed to
have taken to the Big Horn mountains,
where game is more abundant and the
grass fresher. The Indians efforts to
burn the grass of the valleys makes 1t
almost imperative on Crook to follow
them up at once. His force now mus
