One of Washakie's band OF Shosho.
mes who, Joined General Merritt's
forces and went TO Sitting Bulls do
minionS, says the SitUer State, arrived
in town the other day, having been
sent back to the settlements with dis
patches. He came from Ogden on the
cars to have an interview with Naches,
chief of the Piute,. We learn from
that noble red man that the ShoshOne
informed him that Merritt's expcdi
ton on its way to join Crook, had g v
eral skirrnishes with small parties of
hostile Indians in the Black Hills,
and that the troops killed six In
dams and took about $50 wo-
men and children prisoners. Among
the latter was a little n hite girl, with
red hair, whom the Indians had prob
ably stolen and adopted a, a member
of their tribe. The prisoners were
sent TO White Cloud agency, from
which point a description of the pale
face child will be sent East with the
view of ascertaining where she was
captured, and restoring her to her rela-
lives. Naches says That the Shoshone
does not believe that Crook will over
take Sitting Bull, as his forces are s1p-
posed TO have scattered and will go to
the agencies in small bodies and II
tor peace and rations during the win
ter.
Tho bullion yield Of the Consolidat-

GRANr1sM.

One OF the most earnest assertions Ol
the Democracy is that the election O
Hayes will perpetuate Grantism
Hayes is certainly not is any way re.
sponsible for the mistakes of the pres
ent Administration. He was not sus-
rected of dealing in gold on Black Fri
day. He never appointed Murphy 10
the New York Custom-house. He did
not appoint Belknap or Williams 10
his Cabinet, aud lie never dismissed
Secretaries Jewell and Bristow. Gov.
ernor Hayes never appointed Babcocl
to be his Private Secretary, and he has
no Brother Orville. no brother in-law
Casey or Dent. He never accepted
any brides, does not love fast horses,
nor drive four INLAND, nor smoke CT
gars. Hayes does not W a cottage al
Long Branch, does not desire to run
for q third term, has no Seneca stone
quarries, and is not ambitious like C9-
sar; and so we see no Grantism involv-
ed in his election.
The foregoing is from the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. 1t is a brief but forci-
BILE arraignment Of President Grants
administration; no Democrat could put
the shortcomings of the President in
stronger language; but how, I'VE would
like to know, is the Republican press
to reconcile such utterances as the
above with the seventeenth plank of
the National Republican platform
adopted at Cincinnati, and which reads
as follows:
The National Administration merits
commendation for its honorable work
in the management of domestic and
foreign affairs, and President Grant de-
serves the continued and hearty graft
tude of the American people for his
patriotism and his immense service in
war and peace.
TO what extent Governor Hayes is
responsible for the mistakes Of the
present Administration is a question
that is at least open to inquiry. 1t
cannot be successfully denied that the
Republican party, of which Mr.. Hayes
is just now a very conspicuous MEM
Der, has emphatically Endorsed every
one of those "mistakes," whether they
be few or numerous, great or small.
The trouble is, that the Republican
party, as a party, str%enuously denies
that any Mistakes" to put it no
stronger, have been committed. The
great mass of voters know better, and
this is precisely why the people are so
much inclined to turn that party out of
power. IF the Republicans lose in the
pending contest they may charge it all
up to the injudicious attempt of their
leaders to shield the rascalities OF
Grants administration.

ABOUT misunderstanding to recent

in 1855 to $47 900, 900, and 1865 to about

precious metal during the year 1878 is
subdivided as follows: England and
its colonies, $lO,0OO,oOO; Norway,
Sweden and Denmark, $3.50, 900; Rus

United States, S36, 500, 900, which gives
a total of $S5, 250, 900. Including the
year 1873, it is estimated that the total

cry of the new world by Christopher
Columbus, has been Sis, 900 900, the
largest source Of accession, during late
years, being due to the Nevada mines.

Suicide Prompted by GrIef-COn-
testing tn e Insurance ~a.aws-The
Smallpox.
About 4 o'clock this morning Mrs.
Lille Newton committed suicide at her
residence, l44 Pacific street, by taking
strychnine. Some few weeks ago her
husband died of smallpox. The case
may be remembered from the fact that
a certain quack doctor named Bara
.donis gave "a false certificate OF death
from scarlet fever, for which otiense he
was fined $500. At that time Mrs.
Newton attempted suicide, but her de-
sign was frustrated by medical attend
ance. She left a letter addressed To
Mr.. Olsen, her landlord, showing that
grief at the loss of her husband prompts
ed the act.
s. T.. Rankins and others have
brought suit in the United State Cir.
cult Court against J.. w. Ford, Insur.
ance Commissioner, to test the law
prohibiting Eastern and foreign life
insurance companies from doing BUSH
ness in the State except under certain
restrictions, and praying that defend
ant he enjoined from prosecuting such
cases against the companies mentioned.
Three new cases of smallpox this
morning and three deaths, the latter
all Chinese.
