Sitting Rull does not intend to maintain
a quiescent position, but will raise up and
give battle to every white man who appears
in the Black Hills country, until the ques-
ton shall have been settled upon such
terms as he demands. Indeed he would
like to have it settled soon, for he is dis
gusted with the savage brutalites of the
white men, who kill each other and pollute
the air with the foul stencil of their putrid
bodies. The place has become very offensive
to him because of the bad smell occasioned
by the decomposition of the dead carcasses
of the uncivilized whites, who knew no
better than to murder each other. report
was current in the northwest at the close of
asst week that Sitting Bull was killed in
the fight with Custer, but the news is, per-
haps, too good TO be true,

APen Picture of Gen. Custer.

Gen. Custer was brave, even toreck-
lessness, as the manner of his death
showed. He was bold, dashing
officer, who did not know what fear,
and not always what discretion, was.
His success was a rule without eX-
eeptions, and his progress an advance
almost without pauses. He was the
youngest Brigadier and the youngest
Major General in the army. "He
never lost Il gun or COLOR" and
Captured more guns, flags, and pris-
oners than any other general not an
army commander" and these guns and
flags "were all taken in action and
field service" His personal appear
ance was singular. Col. Newhall.
who wrote "NVith Sheridan in Lees
Campaign,n described him thus;
"Custer of the golden locks, his broad
sombrero turned up from his hard
bronzed face, the ends of his crimson
cravat floating over his shoulders,
gold galore spangling his jacket
sleeves, pistol in his boot. jangling
spurs on his heels, and ponderous
claymore swinging at his side, wild
daredevil of general, and prince of
advance guards, quick to see and act"
While he fought brilliantly and
bravely, he does not seem to have been
a soldier capable of real generalship.
AS a subordinate working under SYM
pathetic direction he did his best.
He died as he lived-fighting his
hardest and at the head of his men.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1876-07-20

Pittsburg, July l5.-Since the appoint
ment and Induction into Office of United
States District Attorney Mccormick an
examination of the records shows that H.
Bucher Swoope, ex United States District
Attorney, now dead, was a defaulter to the
government in $4,000. 1t appears that
number of merchants Of Pittsburg during
Swoope's term were prosecuted for viola
ton of revenue laws-of disposing of goods
without a proper revenue stamp thereon.
Judgments were obtained and amounts
with costs and commissions paid to swoope,
who, it appears, pocketed the money in
stead ofturning it over to the United States
Treasury. As district attorney is not
authorized to receive any money for the
government and as the government is not re-
sponsible for his financial acts, there is a
disposition to collect from the unfortunate
appellants the amounts standing against
them on the docket. They have obtained
q rule in the United States District Court
calling upon the government to show cause
why the judgement should not be marked
Hsatisfed." Mr. Mccormick holds that
the Court has no power in the premises, as
a settlement of judgments obtained by the
government rests solely with the Treasury
Department at Washington.

The New York Post is mpolte toward
Hendricks, 1t says he is "a politician Of
the politicians; poor, shambling shutting
two-faced, flexible waiter upon the tides
with no more conviction of principle in him
than his neighbor Morton of the Republi-
can side; with no more consistency than a
lump of dough, which he who handles
kneads into shapes, whose habitual attitude
for years past has been that of striding
fence; who, in the Ohio election, strove to
ride tho hard-money horse while he fondled
the rag baby" The Post seems to frown
upon Hendricks as a reformer. Tilden
ought to get another man on the tail Of his
ticket.

The report of mercantile failures by
Messrs. Dun, Barlow & Co., for the six
months ended on the Goth of June last
is just out. 1t is not an encouraging
document. The number of failures for
the six months is 4,606, against, 1868
for the corresponding six months of
last year, and the amount of these
failures is sos, 100000 against SIG, ,OOO-
900 for the corresponding six months
a year ago. 1t is noticeable, however.
that great number of failures occurred
in the first quarter, and that the last
three months, although showing a
much larger numberand amount than
the corresponding three months of the
previous year, exhibit a decided re-
duction as compared with the first
three months of this year This will
be welcomed at least a slight indica-
