WARRINGTON, Jan. 3.-Special Agent
n.,rstt. Of the Department OF Justice,
..hieved splendid triumph over his
''s..creuts to-day. For weeks past the
vrr .anst determined efforts have been made
- - ssc,,ro his removal, while the assaults
man his personal character were OK
.sromelv bitter. When the charges were
"n,oferred against him, kilograms were
aaut 10 q prominent citizen in New Or
,s.ns ior information, who reported
",hat after the most thorough investi-
..t,on not the slightest foundation
ssI.ts for the accusations against Mr..
narrett.. The recommendations upon
.hIch he was appointed are tho strong
s.t IN the Department, the persons en-
SorInc him representing more than
sna hundred millions or dollars, and
so,ce az them the most eminent in the
.ourtrv. He recently sent the Attorney
nsreral an editorial from the New Or
ioaus T;Mes, In wlich.he was abused In
The most scurrilous manner, and which
accused Judge Piorrepont OF having ap-
rolnted him Special Agent To "cover his
avn tracks in cotton transactions when
he was Judge for short time during
the war" The Attorney General re-
cards the article as an atrocious
iibel upon himself, as he never was
Judue in Louisiana, nor In New Or
leans. IN his life. He stated to-day
"Mr. Barrett's character stands unim-
peached before the Department. He
has discharged with remarkable ability
and efficiency the duties assigned him,
and will neither be transferred nor re-
moved" Mr.. Barrett's latest reports
contain startling developments relative
70 the manner and extent in which the
Government has been defrauded.
United States Commissioner Shannon is
implicated, the contract between him
and others for division Of the plunder
bearing his own seal and signature,
being now inMr. Barrett's possession,
With letters and kilograms, copies of
which have been received by the AttOr-
ney General. II Is also reported that
On arrangement has been effected by
Special Agent Barrett with Chas. Clai-
borne, the absconding clerk OF the U. s.
District Court, by which the latter Is to
be protected from punishment upon
certain conditions, which cannot now
b. ssocrtained.

self, and every one got what he wanted
if he could, and he frequently couldn't:
Many did not try. It must be borne
in mind, however, that it is a great task
to feed from five to eight thousand peo-
pie, especially when every body wants
to enjoy themselves and are unwilling to
sacrifice themselves to wait on Others,
and when there is nc. reason why any,
body should hire attendants to wait up
on the crowd. 10 attempt this dinner
was injudicious and it succeeded about
as we'll as any similar attempt that we
ever knew. 4 picnic would have been
far more satisfactory. 1t is not fair,
however, to complain, for the committee
ala all IN their power to give satisfaction
and deserve credit for doing as well as
they did. ..
Nor is it true that there was not eat
ables enough provided for all, for there
was a great deal provided that was
never called for by the committee, and
those who had prepared it did not know
what disposition to make of it. Many
of the farmers brought in plentiful sup
plies, but failing to find anybody author
lied to receive them carried them home
again. The same is true with regard to
number Of citizens. There appeared
to be nobody to receive what they had
prepared.
The afternoon was spent in various
sorts Of amusements, and in the evening
the display Of fireworks from barge
anchored off the foot of Broad street
interested q crowd of spectators. Thus
was ushered in the second century Of
the nations existence.

Terrible Indian Eighteen Custer
and His Men Brutality
Slaughtered

SALT LAKE, July The special cor
respondent of the Helena (Nontanal
Herald, writing from Still Water, Mon
tane, July 2, says:
WOggins Taylor, scout for Gen. Glib
bon, got here last night, direct from the
Little Horn river.
Gen. Custer found the Indian camp of
about 1900 lodges on Little Horn, and
immediately attacked the camp.
Custe took five companies, and charg-
ed the thickest portion O the camp.
Major Reno commanded the other
seven companies. and attacked the low
er pOr tion of the camp.
The Indians poured in a murderous
6Ce from all directions. The greater
portion fought on horseback.
Custer, his two brothers, nephew and
brother-in-law are all killed, and not one
of the detachment escaped.
Two hundred and seven men were
buried IN one place, and the number
killed Is estimated at 300, with only 81
wounded.
The Indians surrounded Renos com
mand, and held them oEe day in the
Hills, cut of from water, till Gibbon' 8
command came in sight, when they
broke camp in the night and left.
The seventh fought like tigers, and
we're overcome by mere brute force.
The Indian loss Can not be estimated,
az they bore of and cached most of their
killed.
There were seventeen commissioned
officers killed. The whole Custer family
| died at the head of theft column. The
exact loss is not known, as both the
adjutant and sergeant major we're
killed.
The Indian camp was from three to
four miles long, and was twenty miles up
| the Little Horn from its mouth
The Indians actually pulled men of
their horses in some instances.
l give this as Taylor told nae, as he
was over the field after the battle.
The above is confirmed by other Letters,
which say that Custer met with fearful
disaster.
The battle was fought ca the 25th, 80
or 40 miles below the Little Horn.
The battle ground looked like slaugh-
ter pen, as it really was, being in mar
row ravine. The situation now looks
serious.
Lieutenant Crittenden, son Of General
Crittenden, was among the killed.

THE TRUE-BLUE AR1sToCRATs

in Republican America are the Corn
Bin and Meat Tub. They essentially
constitute not only the sure basis but
the firm, substantial capstone of
real national greatness. Bloated monop-
oily, commercial combinations, and po-
litical Olanships may triAe as they please
with the quiet, unpretending conserva-
tism of these two domestic institutions,
but their leanness is a blight to general
enterprise and their fullness is sunshine
to every industry. The mechanical and
professional intelligence of men may
vault itself as loftily as human pride
may permit, but after all, the outcome of
the soil-the fruits of agr icultural labor
tho corn-bin and the meat-tub are
their masters.
Human society leans upon these two
interests as upon joint prop. The
banker, the manufacturer, the trades
man, the lawyer, the doctor, and all
classes that utilize brain force in chief,
must see that the farmer holds in his
hand the key to their success. While
this is true, yet the farmer has been for
centuries a choppjng-block for all trades
and professions. This has obtained
simply because the inherent nature of
his pursuit has necessarily withdrawn
him from the arena of life's busting
activities, away from the rivalries of
trade and the sharp practices of com
mercial manipulators. He has been
content simply to feed and cIOthe the
world. The relation that his labor sus-
tains to society is similar to that which
steam bears to the drivingwheel of the
engine. Let the propelling arm be
wanting, and however splendid the ma
chinerY may be, it is useless, it is dead
as a factor. There should, therefore,
be no arrangement between agricultu-
raj and other labor, bat the most init
mate and friendly sympathy. There is
divinity in labor, and it shonid not be
desecrated by hostility from any quarter.
By throw of the dice, a mere streak
of luck, a man may realize great
wealth. Men may even stumble into q
fortune through some venturssome mer-
camille hazard, but when he comes to
farming, he must plant and plod for sue
cess; he requires mental ex9uipoise, q
multitude of consecutive decisions, ex-
cellent Judgment, nicer and more deli
cate scales than are used in weighing
iron and salt Hence the whole farm
ing community should be aroused to the
pressing Importance of cultivated brain
power, and of the necessity Of having
understanding of their own
profession. Skilled handiwork carries
with it charmed success. Mems mere
labor is only bru te strength but when
strong and active brain-force is brought
to bear upon it you may expect to reap
q rich harvest of grand results Agri-
culture needs in this country an infusion
Of intelligent labor. Legislation can do
much toward supplying this want The
meat and bead supply of the nation is
1t stake.
