whole column entered and moved up the
valley OF the Little Big Horn. During the
AFTERNOON efforts were made to send scouts
through to what was supposed
to be Gen. Custer's position, and
to obtain information of the
condition of affairs, put those who were
sent out were driven back by parties OF
Indians, who In increasing numbers were
seen lowering in General Gibbons front,
At twenty minutes before nine O'Clock In
the evening the infantry had marched be-
tween 20 and 30 miles. The men were very
weary, and daylight was fading. The
column was therefore halted for the night
at about ii miles in straight line above
the stream. This morning the movement
was resumed, and after march Of nine
miles Major Reno's entrenched position
was reached. The Withdrawal of the In
diaDs from around Rsno's command aud
from the valley, wss undoubtedly caused
by the appearance of Gen. Gibbons troops.
Major Reno and Captain Benton, both of
whom are officers Of great experience and
accustomed TO see large masses of mounted
men, estimated the number of Iudisns en-
gsged at not less than $500. Other
officers think that the numbers were
greater than this. The village in
the valley WIS about three miles in length
and a mile ia width. Besides the lodges

brush wood shelters were found in II, in-

turned to Omaha yesterday. He left
Crook on one of the small forks of the

Terry that six companies of the Fifth In

join him, and also that he has requested
Gen. Sherman to send from the Lake

fantry to join him. Gen. Sheridan further
says: 81 have also notified Gen.
Crook OF this fact, and i'll he re-
quired any additional force to the com

essiness, and we will soon give the Indians

bsrressed by their wounded.

CEDAR FOR PAVING.


The merits of cedar for paving is rap
idly becoming known, and wherever used
is superseding any other wood for the
purpose. Detroit was one of the first
cities which used it instead of ri ne
blocks, which were first used in Nichol-
son pavement, and so much superior has
the cedar been found that in his late in
augural address Mayor Lewis of that
city says: 'sAl pavements to be laid
hereafter should either be stone or ce-
dar." Last season there was nearly nine
miles of paving laid in Detroit, of which
about eight miles were of wood. Detroit
Is growing as fast to-day as ever, and
there probably will be no diminution in
the amount of pavement put. down this
year. Chicago and Cleveland are both
realizing the superiority of cedar for this
purpose, and both adopted it to some ex-
tent last year, and no doubt viii use it
much more largely this year., This will
be of great advantage to this section of
the state, for the cedar forests are we'll
nigh inexhaustable, and its extensive use
for paving will always make paying
market for it.

THE Lansing Republican says that the
uniform complaint of all the governors
and mayors addresses this year is the in
creasing public debts and the heavy
taxes. Massachusetts has increased her
aggregate of state. county, city, and town
debts from about $43.O00,OO0 to over SILL
100000 during the last ten years, The
state of Maine owes $5,272,6SS, or five
times as much as Michigan with only
half our population or property. Every
city in Maine excepting one increased
her debt last year. New York state has
reduced her debt about $l0,00O,000 within
twenty years, but the city has increased
hers over 100000. The former shows
Republican financiering and the latter
Democratic. Gov. Hartranft, of Pennsyl-
vania, has some excellent remarks on
this matter of public debt, and so has
Gov. Hayes, of Ohio. OF course debt
swells the taxation to pay interest and
principal. The taxes in thirty-one of the
principal towns and cities of Ohio have
Increased twenty-five per cent. within the
last four years, and the total amount OF
taxes raised in the state has increased
thirty-seven per cent. There is no ques-
ton half so engrossing as this OF finance,
debt, and taxes; for while the inevitable
tax gatherer may weaken the rich by his

The Christian Advocate of New York
City, the most widely circulated official
organ OF the Methodist denomination,
edited by DR.. Curry,a distinguished di-
vine, comes out boldly i'm favor of exclud-
ing bidle reading from the public schools
wherever the parent of any pupil objects
to such reading. He believes, that only
by complete secularization can united
sentiment in favor of the schools be
maintained,-a sentiment that is requi-
site for the spirit of intelligence and toll
Grafton that is at the basis of peaceful
government in this country. The Chris
tian Union, e'lited by Henry Ward Beech
er, takes the same ground, as best both
for the churches and the schools.

134 criminals from the State Penitentiary
in Is months ending Dec, 81, 1875. Of
these scoundrels let loose, II were muir
derers, and Z Of them had been sentenced
for life; 16 were guilty of manslaughter
or attempts to kill, and n were thieves
and burglars. This is the most whole
sale pardoning which any executive has
done of late years. Pennsylvania has es.
tablished State Board of Pardons under
her new constitution. which includes her
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary Of State,
Secretary of Internal Affairs, and Attor-
ney General. Until after petitions are
examined and fayorably decided by this
board, the Governor cannot issue any

MONEY WANTED.

The nearer the time comes for the
opening of the great Centennial exhibi-
ton, the more the commissioners for this
state find that they need money to make
the representation of Michigan what it
should be. A circular has been issued by
the Board to the several postinasters in
the state asking them to solicit subscrip-
tons, which are to be used under the li-
rection of the Board. to defray the ex-
penses necessary to erect a suitable state
building as Headquarters for Michigan
people. This building is to be made of
Michigan material, nearly all of which
is contributed, as far Us possible in a fin
ished state, but the expenses of freight
and erection must be paid, and it is de-
siredrthat money enough may be raised
for that purpose 1t is proposed that
nearly every variety of the woods grow
ing i'm Michigan shall be used in the con-
struction of the building. We have no
doubt but that it will be the most at
tractive building upon the ground.
Michigan should spare. no pains or cx-
pense to make good showing there, for
she is one of the lucky states A trip
around the state, via the great lakes,
stopping at, the principal points, is ar
ranged for northern route for all the ex-
curslonists to this country, of which
about $4,000 are already book. If Michi-
gan has an attractive showing at Phila-

The present session of Congress is like

cial propositions in which the national
banks will be concerned, and it is not
improbable that some efforts will be made
to abridge their power and profits. A
rule of the House prohibits members

ton of this the House has ordered the

Some time since the TRIBUNE suggest
ell the propriety of Offering some induce
ments to manufacturing enterprises to
locate at Cheboygan, in the way of relief
from municipal taxation for a specified
number Of years. The suggestions caused
many comments among the business men
of the place; some favoring and some
opposing the suggestion. We have
heard no argument advanced, however.
to make us change the opinion then ex-
pressed of the policy of such course.
Mayor Lewis, of Detroit, in his in-
augural address before the council of that
city. last week, advocated the same, plan,
making the exemption, upon all new
manufacturing enterprises from two to
. three years. Detroit is the metropolis of
Michigan, and has, to great extent, re-
ceiyed its growth and, prosperity
through the influence Of its manufactur-
ing enterprises. ~ -sr.ssi- saY
= If such a course is advisable in Detroit,
1 with all its advantages, how much more
Is it needed in new town, where it has
not one branch. of industry to stimulate
another? 1t is said that this plan of Sc
curing the establishment of manufacto-
{ ries is fallacious, and in violation of the
. vital principles of taxation. -e
q This is point that we do not desire to
argue. We are simply looking at the
question of policy, to secure the rapid
growth of our town i'm wealth and popu-
lation. The establishment of a few man
ufacturing enterprises, even if the capt
tai invested directly in them be exempt
ed from taxation few years, would in
crease the taxable property indirectly
as much, if not more, than the capital in
vested. No one would be any worse of,
no one would have to pay any more
taxes than at present, while the increase
of taxable property would be consider
able to begin with, while there would be
a certainty that, at the end of the ex-
emption, there would be a certainty of
an increase, equal to the amount invest
ed, which would not be the case were no
inducements held out. In any way we
can look at the matter, we cannot see but
that there will be an advantage to the
place to hold out inducements to manu-
featuring enterprises. . .,,,ff lQ !.
