The Presidential Contest.

The Presi Dental contest is still un-
decided and nothing but the official
canvass in the states of South of Caro-
lima, Florida and Louisiana, will settle
the question as to who is the President

states named above, IS, is just the
number requisite to elect Hayes
There now seems to be little doub

denied by the Democrats to the very
last. but the bulk Of the evidence is

HAYES has carried the state The
election or defeat of Hampton is of no
account, comparable to the result on

A number of the prominent Repab-

Sherman on the Indian.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. G.
Gen. Sherman Is very hopeful of the
l"dian situation. He says: "Since
he victory of Miles, We feel that the
war and its results are mainly deter
mined. 1t is only question of time,
as, in fact, it was from the beginning:
bat we will have that country so safe
that no white citizen need be afraid to
enter it. We Will clear the Indians
from the land much faster than the
settlers can till it up. The autumn
campaign was satisfactory and success
tul as the circumstances warranted.-
The campais n has been energetic
enough, and a great number of the
indians have laid down their arms
The others vii! soon be compelled to do
50. They will never have chance to
make SO III oh trouble again, for our
treatment of them will be different in
the future. We must be more rigor-
Gus, and end our leniency toward them
in many ways. Those Of them who
surrender at the Indian agencies now
are now not sonly deprived of their
arms, but also Of the opportunity of
beginning fresh belligerencies. We
are moving upon them now in four
columns. There is onl J one body Of
them remaining, and their number
cant be very large Miles took 500
tents which must have comprised about
2,OOO Indians We shall push things
as rapidly as possible, and if it takes
all through the winter and even the
following summer, We will dog them
till they succumb At times we must
have been somewhat inexperienced,
but we shall manage to do we'll enough
with our present force if no greater
demand is made npon US.

The prospects of numbering On the
Upper Wolf are not very brilliant this
winter. There were about 705,00O,-
OO0 feet gotten out on the river last
winter, and old umbermen inform US
that not much over half that amount
will be cct this winter Fl II. Martin
and Warren McCord, old lumbermen
on the river, have gone over to the
Chippewa to lumber there this winter.
This is not from any lack ct pine on
the Wolf, but because of the low
prices, and because it pays better to
market lumber in the Mississippi river

Charles Francis Adams, as the
Democratic candidate for Governor of

where he was best known. The Irish
men scratched his name for his anti

Republicans were attracted to him by
the splendor Of his family name. The
