evidence, directed an orderto be issued
superseding Custer in command OF the
Indian expedition. assigning in his
stead Maj. Gen. Terry, who has never
had experience on the frontier and
who knows nothing of the Indian SER
Vice. Last week Custer, who has been
anxious to get off for a month, finally
obtained consent from the com miJtee
to return to mis- command, subject to
their summons il they needed him.
He visited General Sherman, stating
the case to him explicitly, explaining
that he had no instruInentality ia
causing himself to be summoned, nor
did he take any part in the examina-
ton which WAS demanded OF him by
the committee. General Sherman ex-
pressed perfect satisfaction with Gus
ter's conduct, lamentsd the Presidents
stupid wrath and advised Custerto call
on him and ex plain the true condition
of affairs. According to Sherman,
Custer had on seversl occasions visit
ed the President for the purpose of re-
lieving his mind of any m~isapprehen-
sion and disabusing him of the current
SANDER that he was going out of his
way to bring disgrace upon his former
co,n panions in arms. Sherman could
see M reason why Custer should not
visit Grant and explain the situation,
and finally, at his suggestion, Custer
d.u call. This was IN Saturday aiier-
noon, and Custer had his tickets for
his W. st .rnjourney. He waited, howev-
or, overS Saturday, Sunday and Monday
to comply with Sherman's ad gice, and
promptly at 10 o'clock, so soon as the
Presidents reception hour begins, he
was in attendance. There were sew
eral people who arrived with Custer,
all Of whom were instantly admitted
on sending in their cards. The entire
company who came with Custer passed
in aud out, and others came and passed
in and out, and still he sat in the ante
chamber unbidden. From 10 O'Clock
until /. he waited, dozens of people OF
all kinds and conditions handing in
their cards and gaining access TO The
President, while the iackeys stared AT
him. About 2 O'Clock General ingalls,,
passing in to see the President. saw
Custer and asked HIM how long he
had been waiting. Learning the stu
alton. he informed Custer that he
would call General Grants attention to
his presence and hurry matters up.
Ingalls,, on going to the President, told
him of Custer's being in the ante
chamber, and said. ut is not fair to
Custer to serve him in that way. Ii
you do not want to see him you should
have sent him word this morning, and
not kept him out there among the
crowd waiting the entire day" In
gals went on stating further his opin.
ion of the propriety of treating an
officer of CuSter'S distinction in such
a fashion. 1t seems that his upbraid-
ing met with no response, for at 3
O'Clock. having waited since 10, Gus
ter's card WAS returned To him with
a message from the President declin-
ing to see him, stating that he was 60
ing to lunch.

CUSTER.

We yesterday laid before our read
ers the views of the New York Herald
upon the treatment of the above
named distinguished officer by the
President. Those views we Endorsed,
basing our opinion upon the facts as
far as communicated to us. We ex-
tract to-day from the Chicago Times a
detailed statement of the personal insult
TO Custer, a statement accompanied by
names and dates, and bearing upon its
face evidences Of truth. We reiterate
our Endorsement OF the views expressed
yesterday:
In spite OF his official denial Grant
has gotten himself into a very disrep-
utable position in the Custer business.
He first affronted the cavalryman, and
then tried to disgrace him. 1t il not
improbable that Grants treatment of
Custer may result in a Committee of
inquiry, which will lay bare the indie
cent warfare waged by the Executive,
and not only upon Custer, hue other
soldiers who have, in obedience to
Congress, testified as to army abuses.
In the Custer case Grants conduct
sounds like q chapter from the history
of some Eastern despotism. The facts
in the case present the Present OF the
United States in one OF the most Eu-
initiating and disreputable ofthe many
hu,niliating and d~isreputsble plights
that he has been put In this winter.
A Republican Der, interested in
the controversy, has taken pains 10 in
quire the status of the case, and from
him these facts are Ohtained: First,
Custer, az is the etiquette among army
people, called upon the President as
as soon as he arrived in Washington.
He was refused an audience. He
called again, on three successive occa-
sions, and was met by the same re-
Spouse, that the President was en-.
gagged and could not see him. Within
ten days q Republican Congressman
learned that the President finally, una

THE OTHER SIDE.-And now comes
the other side Of the story of the disor-
ders In East Feliciana Parish, Louis
lana. The reports are 30 conflicting
that we do not know what the facts
may be until they be proved. Until
then we refrain from expressing an
opinion. The dispatches OF yesterday
were evidently from the white point OF
View: those Of to day are evidently
framed In the interest Of the blacks.
We accept them both with . great

The Pedestrian Match.
The walking match is still progress
ing at Mechanics Pavilion. Each sue
cessive afternoon and evening there is
a decided increase in the attendance
and interest in the contest. Schmehl
walked better last evening than he did
earlier in the day. This forenoon the
pedestrians were continuing mile after
mile and hour after hour with seem.
mgly unabated vigor and activity.
O'Leary appeared a. gamey and
active as ever. He does not
seem to he making very great exer-
ton, but to be walking rather easily
~ ii nursing his strength. At l2:23
O'Clock Schmehl had walked 100 miles
and two laps. Hethen retired. O'Leary
retired 1857 A. M, having completed
his 100 miles. Schmehl made his $50
miles at 1857 A. NJ. The entire time oc-
cupied in walking that distance was
f~ifty-seven hours, seven minutes and
seven seconds. Schmehl resumed his
walk at | O'Clock, and astonished both
timers and spectators by his improved
appearance and gait. Last night he
placed himself under the care of al
g, perienced trainer, under whose di.
reciions he has developed unex pected
powers OF speed and endurance. He
promises to diminish the great differ
ence between his score and that of
O'Leary. Within an hour he caught
and passed O'Leary three times. There
seems to be some reason to believe thot
his statement previous to the race, 10
the effect that the first two or three
days told most Aea sily on him, but
that after that he improves in condi-
ton may prove correc, aud that he will
pull. up strongly in the latter part OF
the race. There IL a good deal Of
money bet upon the result.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-On Friday evening
last "A little eight year Old girl named Shee-
han, whose parents reside at the Johnstown
ore baul near town, was sent on an errand
to the house of family named Markey, re-
siding near by. The entire Markey family,
with the exceptio of three dogs which they
manage to provide for in spite of the hard
times were absent. One of the dogs above
alluded to is said to be a large, ferocious an
imal. The little one, having discovered that
nobody was at home, turned TO retrace her
steps when she was attacked by the dogs.
OF course she was frightened, and, as many
"A one of larger growth would have done,
tried to escape toy running. she was soou
oyertaken and thrown to The ground, the
larger dog literally chewing her legs mp from
the knee down. Great strips of flesh were
torn off and the little girl was horribly mu-
tiIated Doubtless she would have been
killed had it not been for the timely appear
ance of n man who drove the ferocious brutes
away and rescued the litlle one. The larger
animal seems to have done all the damage,
the smaller ones contenting themselves with
drinking the blood which flowed from the
little girls wounds. We learn that the
father of the child requested Mr.. Markev to
kill the large dog, but that gentleman abso-
IuteIy refused To do anything of the kind,
evidently considering his dog of more vaine
than many children. Had we been In MT
