tTreasury robbery case. Mr.. Cook, after stating
that he had been ready for months to proceed
with the trial OF Ottmanr gave notice that he
would ask on 10 day that the case be continued
another week. He would predicate his motion for
continuance on the ground that his most import
ant witnesses were absent, and that ex-senator
Matt. Carpenter, who has been retained In Ott-
mans defense, desires several days In which to
examine into the case. Mr.. Cook Will make Q
formal motion TO the above effect today, and,
from the remarks of his Honor yesterday, IL Is
probable that Uttman viii not be put upon trial
before to day week. Ottman was In court, and
his friends declare that he is comfortably on In
prison, he having gained forty pounds OF hesh

Gov. Hayes Letter.

Gov. Hayes's letter of acceptance Is doc
ument which leaves nothing to be desired.
1t would, in fact, be hard TO indicate where
in it could have been made more frank,
straightforward and explicit than it is.
There is not word of meaningless VERDI
age about it, there is not particle of hedg-
ing and trimming, and there is not the
slightest attempt on the part of its writer,
10 make himself all things 10 all men with
the arts OF the willy politician. On the con-
trary Gov. Hayes writes like positive man
who has established principles of his own
which he is determined TO abide by. His
position is fully abreast of the most adj
vanced reform sentiment of the times. On
the question of civil service reform he takes
the highest possible ground, and appropri-
ately makes, as it were, personal applica-
ton of the subject by declaring that, If elect
ed, he will on no account be candidate for
a second term. On the financial question
his views are sound and unmistakable; on
on that of the public schools he frankly ac-
cepts the doctrine of the Republican plat
form as regards the policy to be pursued
toward The South his words indicate an in
telligent appreciation of the situation, and
his declarations on this point will receive
general approval. In short, it may be said
that those persons who have expressed the
belief that Mr. Hayes is weak, 'colorless"
and negative sort of man, must now radio
ally revise their opinion. His letter proves
him decided, positive mana man for the
times-and it will do very much to assure
his election.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1876-07-14

The difference between tue nominees OF
the two parties, to say nothing Of their
platforms, is marked and unmistakable.
In Hayes and Wheeler we have an embod-
iment of open, straightforward, patriotic
men who are platform in themselves, and
In whose record there is nothing to explain
or extenuate, while in Tilden aud Hen
bricks we have ticket which partakes I'M
mistakably of the arts and devices which
mark the course of the mere politician. 1t
cannot be said that the Democrats, either In
their ticket or their platform, have given
the country cause for renewed confidence
in their honesty of purpose or in their abll-
ity 10 bring about the "Reform" of which
they say so much. The Republicans, on
the contrary, have given the strongest pos
sible pledges, both through their utterances
and their nominations, of their desire for
purity and reform, and it now only re-
mains for them 10 keep plainly before
the people the issues involved in the cam
psign. Let this be done constantly, fairly,
and in that spirit of decency which Gov.
Hayes has so strongly plead for, and we
have no fears as to the result.

AN ACCOUNT OF CUsTER's FALL AND THE
SLAUGHTER OF THE TRooPs-NoT A
MAN LEFT TO TELL THE STORY.
Dispatches and official reports from the
Indian country confirm and supplement
the story of the slaughter of Gen Clusters
command by the Indians, as given in
brief paragraph last week. On June 18th
Gen. Clusters command came upon the
main camp of Sitting Bull, on the Little
Big Horn river, and at once attacked it,
charging the thickest part of it with five
companies, Major Reno, with seven COM
panes attacking on the other side. The
soldiers were repulsed and wholesale
slaughter ensued. Gen. Custer, his broth
err, his nephew, and his brother-in-law
were killed, and not one of his detachment
escaped. The Indians surrounded Major
Reno's command and held them in the
hills during whole day, but Gibbons
command came up and the Indians leit
The number of killed is stated at 300 and
seven men are said TO have been buried in
one place. The list of killed includes sew
enteen commissioned officers. 1t is the
opinion of army officers in Chicago, Wash
ington, and Philadelphia, including Gems.
Sherman and Sheridan, that Gen. Custer
was rasEly imprudent TO attack such a
large number of Indians, Sitting Bulls
force being 1000 strong.
THE STORY oF'THE FIGHT.
At noon on the 22d day of June Gen.
Custer at the head of his fine regiment of
~ veteran companies left camp at the
mouth of the Rosebud to follow the trail of
a very large band Of hostile Sioux leading
up the river and westward in the direction
of the Big Horn. The signs indicated that
the Indians were making for the eastern
branch Of The last named river, marked on
the map as Little Big Horn. At the same
time Gen. Terry, with Gibbons command
of five companies of infantry, four of cav
airy and the Calling Battery, started to as
cend the Big HON, aiming TO assail the
enemy in the rear. The march of the two
columns was so planned as to bring Glib
bon's force within cooperating distance oil
the anticipated scene of action by the eve
ming of the Goth. In this way only could
the infantry be made available, as it would
not do TO cucumber Clusters march with
foot soldiers. On the evening of the 24th
Gibbons command was landed ON the
south bank of the Yellowstone, near the
