ingness to economize, if the people desire
il, on scale much greater than that pro-
posed by the Democrats, and one that
shall put them to real test as to their
sincerity. Now, in relation 10 this point,
one more word viii suffice. The clerks
in the employ of the Government almost
without an exception. are dependent upon
their salaries for q living. Their salaries
might be reduced, but not fairly so. for
they are poorly paid now as coz
trasted with the pay allowed by business
concerns. This can be shown, and If 1t
does not hold good let them be reduced.
But for the most part members Of Congress.
and especially Republican members. are
men of affairs and are not dependent upon
their pay for their living as are the clerks.
They can afford to raise the dignity Of
their positions and live upon honor for
awhile il this thing must come to Kill
kenny fight. They certainly can afford it
as well as their Democratic colleagues from
the South, and since the latter have
raised the question and are such stick
lers for economy and starvation, let
them have their fill, and more than
their fill of it, and let us see how it
comes-out. This will introduce an era Of
Democratic simplicity that win satisfy even
the chairman of the Committee on Appro-
priations, who has lapsed TO virtue with
the suddenness of Elijah, who went up in
cloud. By all means let US have law
abolishing the payment of any salary what
ever to members of either House.

The GEORGIA NEWSPAPERS are wrang-
ling over the claims OF their respective
fayorites for Presidential honors. The
Augusta Chronicle has become disguised
with the Gordon. Lamar programme for
making Thurman President, and talks
right out in the following style:
'There are reasons for believing that he
would be the weakest candidate the Demo-
Gratis could put in the field, with the single eX-
ception of Horatio Seymour. 1t is extremely
doubtful whether Mr.. Thurman could carry
New York or Pennsylvania. 1t is reasonably
certain that he cannot carry either Indiana or
Ohio-States which properly belong to the
Democracy, and the loss of which will in
eVitably lose the party the election. Mr..
Thurman's conduct in the last Ohio cam
paign was such as to array against him a
strong faction, if not a majority, of the party
in that State. Ohio is a cloBe STATE, and the
opposition to Mr.. Thurman among the Demo-
Gratis would give it to the Republican candi-
date by large majority. Mr.. Thurman so
shaped his course last fall as to incur the ILL
will of both parties. He was denounced in
New York as a coward and in Ohio and Indi-
ana as a traitor. He cannot obtain friendly
delegation from his own State to the national
convention. He cannot carry Ohio in the
event OF his nomination. We must have a
candidate WHO is able to carry both Ohio and
Indiana. The name Of that candidate is not
ThuTmsn.''

is unanimous on Mr.. Klbourn's side OF
the controversy. He is not playing bluff
game, but is merely resisting an unwar-
ranted attempt at persecution, in which
his prosecutors hide themselves m their
ubiquitous efforts to destroy the best inter
es,s of the District behind the transparent
shadow of 4 Congressional inquest. Let
Mr. Kilbourn stand up firmly for his rights.
Nine tenths of the intelligent citizens Of
the District commend his position.

Still. the ex- Confederate House fails to
accomplish anything for the relief of the
country. Having by an accident exposed
Belknsps disgrace and at the. same time
opened up an avalanche of scandal which
threatens to overThelm certain leaders OF
their own party, even the force Of their
investigations has been blunted, and they
stand dumb in the presence of general
public demand that some tangible result
something more than the resignation o!
Belknap-shall follow from their boasts Of
reform. When they succeed in Furnishing

Of Just punishment, as they have in the

The INFAMOUS slave owner William
Welsh, of Philadelphia, has afflicted the
public by the publication of another letter
regarding Indian affairs. He argues in
this last epistle in favor of transferring the
Indian Bureau to the War Department.
Coming from such a source, however
meritorious the proposition may be, it will
certainly be regarded with suspicion.
Until Welsh explains away the incon-
sistency of his professions as q Christian
philanthropist with his acts of receiving
money from "chsttel mortgages upon
Cuban slave property, his publications Of
disinterested regard for the poor Indians
will be received with some grains OIL

THE Real Estate Pool investigation still
hangs FIRE. Mr.. Kilbourn, by advice of
able counsel, declines to expose his private
account books and papers to the inspection
of greedy partisan committee, unless
some definite charge of fraud is made
against him. OF course, the committee
has failed to make such charge, because
the charges on which the Investigation
was ordered were not definite, but were
simply based upon the most gauzy rumors.
In short, like the most Of the investiga-
tons now being pursued by the Exon
federate House, this one threatens to re-
solve itself into nothingness, so to speak,
and to result simply in an exposure of the
absprdity of the suspicious of the Detective
Press regarding District affairs. Mean
while, the sympathy Of the business public

THE "weird and beautiful J. B. S. re-
turns to his assault upon the Administration
with a three-column personal attlek upon
the President. 1t is simply rehash Of all
the exploded ISLANDERS against the Admins
tration that have been afloat for the past
seven years. 1t shows that whileJ B. S. s
somewhat eager and clpacious ears have
always been open to the flimsiest kind of
lies, his poetic eyes have been as persistently
closed to their refutation. OF such is the

The Daily Washington Tri6use failed
to make IFS accustomed appearance yester-
dsy morning. During the ten months of
its life it led a precarious existence, at
times was lively and readable, but at no
time did it have the assurance of moral or
financial support required for the estab-
iishment of a successful popular journal.
The moral of this is that the Democracy
of the District is incapable of supporting
an Opposition daily journal.

STARTLING intelligence comes from

STARTLING intelligence comes from
the Black Hills to the effect that Gen.
Custer and five companies OF the 7th
Cavalry were cut to pieces, not a man
escaping, in fight with the Indians
on the Little Horn river, June 25th.
The Indian camp contained from
$500 to 1000 warriors. Custer took
five companies and charged Ill the
thickest place, and Col. Reno was to
attack with seven companies in an
other place, three companies being
posted on hill as reserve. Custer
with his usual impetuosity led his
men into the center of the Indian
camp, and paid the penalty with his
own life and that of every man with
him, 3l5 in all. Custer had with
him two brothers, nephew and
brother-in-law, all killed. The mas
sacre was accompanied with the usual
atrocities of Ladian warfare. After
the destruction of Clusters command,
Reno retreated under the protection
of tho reserve, but was surrounded
nv the Indians and held without wa
ter until the arrival of Gen. Gibbons
command. The dispatches say that
when the Indians left the ground it
resembled slaughter house, which
1t really was.

DEATH ON THE FLOOD.


The Dubuque papers Of yesterday
came laden with the sad
details Of most appalling calamity
which befell the peaceful hamlet of
Rockdale, two miles from that city,
on the Illinois Central r. r., at the
crossing of Catfish Greek, on Tues
day night, July 4th. The village
of Rockdale is, or was flor it is not)
situated in a gorge of the hills west
of Dubuque, about 80 rods wide, and
hemmed in on each side by precipi
tous hills. The heavy rains of Tues
day night accumulating in this ravine,
with continually augmenting and
resistless force, rushed down the
gorge a perfect avalanche of wa.
tiers upon the devoted hamlet Of
Rockdale, the inhabitants of which
had retired to their beds for the
night. Before they could realize the
danger Of their situation, the fearful
flood like mighty wave of the
ocean came upon them, lifting the
buildings and tossing them to dis
truction like egg shells. For one
brief moment with shrieks of morta
terror, the overwhelmed inmates bat
tied for lite and then all was over
But one building was left standing
and less than a dozen persons O
those who comprised the little com
munity were loft alive.
Thirty-nine bodies were taker
from the scattered debris the mex
morning. In these were included
whole families; of other families but :
single member was left. The Du
buque papers publish list OF thu
names of the dead, but our limited
space forbids particulars of the sac
disaster.
