THE INDIAN WAR.
Little Prospect of Another Engage
ment with the Sioux.
Sitting Blu II EnCamped Beyond the Big
Horn Mountains, where II is Almost
Impossible to Reach Rim--SiCk-
ness Among the Troops.

CHICAGO, August ia Times cor
respondent writing from Fort Buford,
August IL, via Bismarck, August IA,
says; ''rerry's forces, which left
Rosebud on the Sth, numbered fight
Ing force of sixteen hundred men, and
was accompanied by train Of two
hundred and twenty-five wagons, con-
tanning supplies for thirty days. Terry,
with a view of forming a junction
with Crook, will move down the west
bank of the Rosebud for distance of
seventy miles, when the combined
forces will endeavor to engage the In
dams in the region of the Big Horn
Mountains. The Crow scouts report
that the main body of Sitting Bulls
band are encamped on Sinking river,
q tributary of the Big Horn, and to en-
gage them it will be necessary to cross
the Big Horn mountains, which will
be an almost impossible undertaking
at this season of the year. There APP
pears to be no prospect Of another en-
gagement with the Sioux, unless the
Indians desire to make fight, as the
troops will be unable to overtake them
before the approach of cold weather.
1t is reported that large band OF
the Northern Indians who have been
encamped on the Missouri below Fort
Bend, have gone north in the direc-
ton of the British possessions, and 1t
is not believed they will make stand
against the troops again this year.
Considerable sickness prevails In the
supply camp.
General Terry has decided to return
his entire command to the mouth of
Rosebud about September 10, and all
troops will be withdrawn after that
date. The command will march over
land from the supply camp to a point
opposite Fort Buford, where ferry
will be procured to move the command
TO the east bank OF the Missouri. The
troops.from that point will march over
land to garrison posts in Dakotah and
along the Missouri river.

A NOVEL INTERVIEW.
Grant Did Not Ask BrlstOW TO Resign,
But Thinks lie COnspired for
the Presidency.
He Believes in BabCOCks Innocence, and
is Willing to Stand by Iobbery and
Corruption, and All the Acts of
His Administration.

New YORK, August l5.--The Herald
publishes an interview between Presi-
dent Grant and its Washington corre-
spondent, and according to the report
OF the interview, the President stated
that there were many misrepresenta-
tons made in connection with the
official communication between him
and ex-Secretary Brlstow and ex-Solic-
itor Wilson. AS illustrative of this,
he never asked for the resignation
offered, but several times when 3ris-
tow voluntarily proposed to resign and
was anxious to do so, he president
Grant, prevailed upon him to stay in
office. Once Bristow insisted upon the
acceptance of his resignation, because,
he said, he could not undergo the or
deal Of experimenting another dis
charge, or of the cutting down of the
Treasury employees. Again, and for
the third time, Bristow rendered it,
and fixed the date of its occurrence.
On the second occasion the President
prevailed upon him to remain, because
II new order of things in the Treasury
Department was about to take place
with the substitution of silver for frac-
tional currency, and he thought it
would need the supervision of Bristow.
So far as anything had been ELECTED
in the Congressional examination
bearing upon himself or the attaches
heretofore of the White House, the
President was willing to leave the
whole matter to the judgment of the
country. In relation to that part OF
Bluford Wilson's testimony, wherein
he charged Generals Babcock and Por-
ter with being concerned in the Black
Friday speculatiOns, the President
said he once put lot Of papers, rolled
up for the moment in private
drawer In his desk, and subsequently
took them out, handing them to his
son, who was acting MS his private Sec
rotary, for examination. The papers
he found, when reported upon by u.
s. Grant, Jr., did not show any con-
nection whatever of General Babcock
with the Black Friday affair. AT the
time stated they could not, as he was
then in San Domingo, and before Gen.
eral Porter's connection with the

.DIED AMONG STRANGERS"

Mr.. Richard Booth, of London, Ontario,
Canada, died of bronchial affection at the
clearinghouse Of Mrs. Robertson, in this
place, on Sunday morning last.
Mr.. Booth, who, during his sojourn among
US, favorably impressed all whom he met, and
made many friends, came to this place an in
valid last November, hoping to be benefited
by the mildness of our climate; but disease
had taken too firm hold upon his system to
be eradicated by any earthly agency, and a
few weeks ago he was compelled to take his
bed, to which he was confined until his death.
During his stay in this place, and especially
from the time he was confined to his room, he
received, at the hands of the Masonic frater-
nifty, as we'll as the citizens generally, every
attention that it was possible to bestow upon
him, and everything that the utmost thought
fulness could suggest was done to soothe his
dying pillow. On Sunday afternoon his re-
mains we're consigned to the tomb with Ma
sonic honors, the burial service of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church having been previous
ly read by Rev. Mr.. Carlisle. in the presence
of large congregation who assembled to
pay the last sad tribute to the deceased.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE.
Both Houses of the Legislature, adjourned
sine die on Friday last, 18th instant. The
adjournment was reached in a very irregular
an unusual manner, which is thus described
by the Columbia correspondent of the Charles
ton Ne,cs and Courier:
'In the Senate, Immediately after roll call, Gail
lard moved to concur in the House resolution to
adjourn sine die on April 14th. A short debate
ensued, vote was passed, and the adjournment
carred-ayes l3, nays IL. This was accomplished
in the absence of some OF the Republcan men,
bers. Amotion to adjourn at once was introduced
by Nash and carried and message announcing
the fact sent to the House. Its reception in that
body produced marked sensation Elliott, who
saw the point, explained to the astonished men,
bers that it was questionable whether the House
was now competent to transact business. After
short discussion, Elliott, Johnson, Meetze, Bamp-
field and Brayton were appointed committee to
consider the question the adjournment without
day, of the Senate without the proper ratification
previous to such adjournment The committee,
after about an hours absence, reported verbally,
through Elliott, that there was no remedy, and
nothing left for the house but to enter its protest
on the journal and leave, as it was already ad-
journed in effect by the Senate action. The re-
port and protest were adopted. Elliott then made
a brief farewell address, and declared the General
Assembly adjourned sine die. Several important
acts remain unratified. The Conservatives are
highly gratfed at the result ofthe Senates move,
but disapprove Of the irregular manner in which
it was done. No words can express the disgust
of the Radicals and the ''snatchees."
Several days previous to the adjournment,
a third attempt was made to impeach Judge
Mackey, but the Speaker ruled the motion
out of order.
