Of July. and up to this time not one

actsr. What are the Democrats doingf
Where are the investigating commit
tessi All the strength of the Demo-
cratic party-and that was very little
has besn derived since the war from the
so-called Independent Republicans.
These men have now passed over to
Hayes and Wheeler. Even Carl Schurz
has placed ths lanes Of the Republican
leaders at the head Of the columns Of his
paper. We suggest. in view OF these
facts that the Democrats % the United
States celebrate the Centennial year by
voting for Hayes and Wheeler. They
have no hope Of elscting their W
ticket ou the doubls.facsd platform
which they have adopted. Why not
make the election Of Hayes and Wheeler

rnE TRIAL.

The impeachment trial Of ". ".
Bslknap. late Secretary Of War. is pro-
essding in the Senate. but very little
testimony OF importance is being elicit
ed. The main witness, Caleb Z. Marsh.
who sent all the money from the Fort
Sill post to Bslknap. seems to be al.
ficted with . Troublesome memory. lie
says he has destroyed all the letters
which passed between himself and Bel
KNAPP. and ~ the events occurred 30
long ago. he cannot definitely remember
them. II begins to look very much Is
though Bslkuap would escape a tech
nical conviction. although every Senator

can only convict on evidence. and II the
evidence to eoms is OF the same mega
tive character rs that already presented.
William W. Bslknsp will walk forth
from the Senate chamber acquitted Of
the charges against him.
The aequittal in the Senate Court OF
Impeachment would amount TO nothing
in itself. All that the court could do
would be to disqualify him from hold
ing Office again under the Government.
lie 10 already practically disqualified. as
no President would ever dars to present
his name to the Senate for ratification.
and no community would have the Of
frontsry to elect him to Office. The
United States Government il really
spending . great deal OF money to &c.
complish no good whatever. The only
importance which this impeachment
trial assumes Is in It's forsshadowing Of
the probable result Of that other Grim.
inal trial which is still to come in the
District Of Columbia court. II Bel.
knsp cannot DO convicted in the Senate.
he cannot be convicted in court. where
the rules OF evidence are still more
strict. The sum OF the whole matter is
that this man. who has brought dis
grace. not only on his party. but on his
country. Is in a fair way to escape scot

that they are magnificent men physically.

abundant ammunition, which they have

would he much better adapted for this
Kind VI fighting than cavalry horses. which

In conclusion. General Conner remarked
that the Sioux could put 1000 warriors IN
the field. and taking into account the
neighboring tribes - Cheyennes, Arrapa-
hoes and Others who would Join in-any
white force sent against them would have
tn encounter an army Of some 1900 men.
These Indian wars are by no means the

forces To cope with the sayages whom their
