The following queer communication
is published in the Times. Wouldn't it
be well for the Legislative Committee to
have Smith hunted up by detective
and brought back, in order that he may
tell all about it:
1t is we'll known fact that repeated
efforts have been made by parties to OBJ
tain possession of the funds of Alexander
Smith, the pardoned convict, which have
been in the hands of COL Noonan, SO
far, without effect. This fact will be es-
tablished before the investigation is COM
pleted. The balance of Smiths money
is held by Col. Noonan, and no shark
will ever be allowed to get possession of

The smith PardOn---sA Ssr""E
oder Of Corruption.

The House will have to amend the afti-
cles impeaching Gov. Ames. The pardon
oftbe convict Alexander Smith, sentenced
short time ago for life, for ii shocking
crime which deserved hanging on the spot,
was an outrageous abuse of power, and
smells loudly of corruption. The facts of
his conviction are recited in the resolu-
tons of inquiry introduced by General
Tucker, into the conduct of Mr..
Parsons, of the House, who is charged
with bavin~ received pay for his agency
in procuring the pardon. The petition
on which the depraved wretch was
pardoned was signed, not by the people
where his crime was committed, but by
few persons to whom he was a stranger,
residing two hundred miles away from
the scene of the outrage. Having fallen
heir to several thousand dollars recently,
the presumption is strong that he bought
his way out of the penitentiary. An
investigation will probably reveal the
prime agents in the dirty affair, but it
requires no investigation to establish that
the party responsible above all others for
turning him loose, is Adelbert Ames.
The result of the inquiry into this
shameful transaction will be looked to
with intense anxiety.

The Indian Campaign.

All who hope that the calamities of June
may not go unavenged were pleased to hear
that our entire force was concentrated and
in pursuit of the enemy. They will be
grieved, however, to learn from our de-
spatches this morning that Crook has not
behaved toward Terry with the chivalry
which is due from one soldier to another,
and will be led not to be too sanguine of the
punishment of the savages this season. 1t
is absolutely necessary that the combined
forces should act in harmony, and that the
commanders should treat each other with
confidence and respect if their united action
is to meet with any success. When the ex-
petition started it is plain nobody had any
clear idea Of the whereabouts of the Sioux.
1t was supposed that Sitting Bull was some
where between the Tongue and Powder
rivers, south Of the Yellowstone but then
it was equally probable the Indians were
already over the river. This is possible,
even if the trail recently followed by the
troops was the last made by the Indians.
and now it is conjectured that the trail
is an old one. But, whether the In
dams are on the south or north side
of the Yellowstone, they have the course
of the conflict in their own hands. They
can fight or not, as they please, and it seems
unlikely that they will fight again unless
correspondent asserts that battle must oc-
cur very soon if it is to occur at all. We
fear the Indians cannot be in
duced to make stand; but if
our men are caught in false position they
will find the enemy" only too soon. In
view of the severe lessons of the season it
is not probable that any misstep will be
made in our advance; and this very care, the
discretion which deprives the savage of
the opportunity for an easy victory, will
keep him away. Sitting Bull has made
campaign that cannot fail to affect the whole
Indian mind in the greatest degree. He has
deied US in arms for whole summer, and
in two collisions, in each of which we fondly
believed we could close his career, he has
terribly beaten us. If he closes active
operations with the prestige Resulting from
such record he will only have to hold up his
hand in the spring to gather about him every
Indian in the Black Hills. He is not the
man to throw away such future by sitting
down in corner and waiting for the troops
to come up and whip him. He is but few
DAYS from the British frontier and can cross
