In Kansas there is town named after
the Rev. Gen. Garfield, of Credit Mobilier
and Ring pavement notoriety. The town
of Garfield has church, and the Con-
gressman has presented to the church a
bell. This was liberal on the part of Boss
Shepherds friend and supporter, but the
question is whether the gift properly be-
comes matter to be introduced into a
political canvass. The church men,
bers and citizens of the Kansas town
have passed resolutions eulogizing Mr..
Garfield for his generous donation, and
the worthy motives prompting it, one of
the resolutions being the following:
'ReSOlUed, That the newspapers, in the
Nineteenth Congressional District of Ohio,
be requested to publish these resolu-
tions."
These have been sent to all The news
papers in Mr., Garfeld's district, with a
request that they should be copied, and
the consequence is that people unkindly
try to trace a connection between his in
vel'tment in bell metal and his known
desire for reelection to Congress.
They say he wants to ''ring inp for an
other term.

GEN. CUSTER shed a food of light upon
the country in relation to the reason
why army officers have been so silent in
relation to the gross abuses existing, and
constantly increasing under their eyes
in the service. Belknap. Secretary Of
War, issued the following peremptory
order, that he might, like the Arab, fold
his tents and silently steal away:
No officer, active or retired, shall, di-
rectly or indirectly, without being called
upon by proper authority, solicit, suggest
or recommend action by members of
Congress for OF against military affairs.

Mr.. BELL moved in the highest cir

companion, while he was doing the dirty
work of Radicalism and playing the spy,
but no sooner does he tell the public the
character of the work in which he has
been engaged, than his former associates
and intimate friends denounce him as a
dead beat, sneak, spy, and without
character and honesty. His associations
would lead one to infer as much. @

Massacre Of Gen. Clusters Command.

The country was startled last week by The
telegraphic report that Gov Custer. of the
regular army, had made an attack upon a
camp OF the Sioux Indians, at Little Big Horn.
in Montana Territory, and, with his immediate
column of the command, had been mastered.
At first, the statement was doubted, but later
and more authentic accounts came in fully cor
roborating the first rumor
Salt Lake July "a special correspondent
of the Helena tMontana) Herald writes from
Saltwater Montana. July 2, as follows MUG
gins Taylor, Il scout for Gen. Gibbon, got here
last night direct from Little Horn river. Gen,
Custer found the Indian camp of TWENTY-FIVE
lodges on the Little Horn, and immcd,ate-
ly attacked the camp. Custer took five COM
panies and charged the thckest portion OF
the camp. Nothing is known of the oncr-
it by the dead. Maj. Reno commanded the
| other seven companies and attacked the lower
portion of the camp.
The Indians poured in y inurtlerous fire
flom all directions, besides the greater portion
fought On horseback. Caster, his two BROTH
ers, nephew and brotlier-in-law were all kill

There were POI men buried in one place, and
the killed are estimated at 30O with only ri

There were seventeen commissioned officers

from Little Horn to Fort Ellis, arrived this

The battle was fought OH the 25tl, thirty or
forty miles below the Little Horn. Custer at
tackled the Indian village Of from $500 to 4 600
warriors On one side, and Col. Reno was to
attack it on The otlier. Three companies were
placed Oh hill as reserve. Gen. Custer and
fifteen officers, and every man belonging to
the five companies, were killed.
Reno ietreated under the protection to the
reserve. The whole number killed was 3l5.
Gen. Gibbons joined Reno. The Indians left
the battle ground, which looked like a slaugt-
