HAYES AND WHEELER.
SenOtOr Morton Opens fine Cam.
paign at Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. Ex-senator Morton was
tonight escorted by the Hayes Guards, in uni
form, from his hotel to the Academy of Music,
which was filled to Overlooking. Hon. Albert
g. Porter presided, introducing the Senator,
who in the course of long speech said: Gov
Tilden is an inveterate bachelor Of g. a life
long Democrat and has been for 20 years a
leader in his party and closely identified with
all OF its most infamous measures, trained in a
school of New York city politics, graduate of
Tammany Hall, disciple of the revolution of
'9S, an ardent sympathizer with the rebellion
He completely filled that character known dur
ing the was as a ceppeIhead.
Hendricks you have known for nearly thirty
years and during all that time he has suggest
ed no policy, produced no measure, started no
idea Which any human being can reAember
save and except one which we are all asked to
forget. His place of general retirement and
relaxation has been upon the fence and he has
never gotten down upon one side or the other
till his party had taken such decided ground as
left US no doubt about their position Like
Tilden he will be the cast of his line and will
leave no idea, measure or policy as a political
contribution to those coming after him. His
official life in small things has been respecta-
BILE, and successful in lodging larger RESPONSE
blities.
The approaching contest in Indiana. said Mr..
Morton, will be watched with deepest interest
by the whole country. Indiana is one of the
three states voting in October. and the result
will exercise a powerful influence upon the
election in November. In this point OF view
the Importance of our success can hardly be as
certained, and no exertion ought to be spared
to secure legitimate triumph.

Solicitor Wilson Again ConIradicted.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 11.-Internal revenue
Agent Gavett writing from Jacksonville, ILL
nois, complains that Bluford Wilson has
falsely and maliclously s]andered him before
the whisky fraud committee, and encloses q
copy of a letter from Supervisor Matthew'S and
one from ex-Commissioner Pratt in which
Gavett's character as officer and man is strong
ly endorsed.
superviOr Matthew'S Testimony.
Asa G. Matthews, Supervisor of Internal
Revenue at Chicago was examined this after
noon by the subcommittee on the whiskey
frauds.
He gave the history of the immunity feature
of the whiskey prosecutions and said that when
he came to Washington, Dec. 21st, on business
connected with this subject, he saw Secretary
Bristow, who was inclined to reject the terms
of immunity proposed to those who should
plead guilty as terms too broad, and as they
were paying too much for information. The Sec
rotary said he would leave the matter to the
discretion Of the District Attorney and special
thing. The terms of immunity as finally agreed
on had the effect of entirely breaking up the
whiskey ring.
Mr.. Matthews read letter dated Chicago,
Dec. Is, 1876, from Collector Webster of Chica-
60 to him urging him to come to Washington
and consult with Secretary Bristow as to pay.
ing large sum to Rehm for information
deemed of the highest Importance in prosecute
ing distillers. Matthews says he gave the letter
to Bristow, who read it to the President and
Cabinet. He understood Mr.. Bristow to saw
that the President thought the price was too
high. Matthews said it was utterly impossible
to reach Hessing and Rehm in any other way,
and the result was that the whiskey ring of
Chicago was effectually broken.

General Terry Advancing-The Indians
Breaking Up into Small Bands.
NEW YORK, Aug. ia despatch dated at
the camp on the Yellowstone, Aug. Sd, via
Bismarck Aug. 10th, says that several COM
panies of infantry and detachment of artil.
lery, with two three-inch guns have arrived
under General Miles to reinforce General
Terry. They brought with them few horses
for the 18th Cavalry. General Terry immediate
~ ordered forward movement, and General
Gibbon crossed the Yellowstone that day, to be
followed by the remainder of General Terry's
forces.
1t is believed that the Sioux are breaking up
into small parties, as a scout arrived on the Sd
from Powder River and reported that large
parties were crossing there and going in the
direction of Fort Peck, which line of retreat is
open, owing to lack of troops. General Terry
will march up the valley of the Rosebud in
order to be within cooperating distance of
General Crook. The troops are in excellent
spirits.
Another despatch, dated the 9Th, says that
the troops are now we'll in motion, the train
has passed across the river, the Seventh Cav
airy were to cross on the 9th, the 22d Infantry
crossed on the 9TH, and that the whole COM
mand would be marching up the Rosebud
valley by the morning Of the 7th.

Message from the President Urging that
Provision be Made for Its Increase.
WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-THE following mes
sage was sent by the President to Congress
to-day:
To the Senate and House Of Representatives
transmit herewith telegram of the 9Th of
August instant from Lieutenant General Sheri-
dan to Gen. Sherman, and letter of the pres
emit month from Gen. Sherman to the Secretary
of War, and letter of the latter of the same
date to me- all setting forth the possible needs
of the army in consequence of existing hostili-
ties. would strongly urge upon Congress the
necessity for making some provision for a con-
tingency which may arise during the vacation
for more troops in the Indian country than it is
now possible for to send 1t would seem to me
to be much more economical and better to
authorize the increase of the present cavalry
force by $500 privates; but if this is not deemed
advisable, then that the President be author
lied to call out not exceeding five regiments of
one thousand strong each of voluntee to
serve for period not exceeding six months
Should this latter authority be given, would
not order out any unless in my opinion, based
upon reports from the scene of war, I deemed
it absolutely necessary, and then only the
smallest number considered sufficient to meet
the emergency.

Executive Mansion, Aug. IL, 1876.
The following is Sheridan's letter to GEM
Sherman:
CHICAGO, Aug. 5.
To Gen. W. T. Sherman, Washington:
have not yet been able to reinforce the gar.
rison at Red Cloud, at Spotted Tail or at
Standing Rock, to be strong enough to count
the Indians. or to arrest and disarm those COM
ing in. ! beg of you to see the Military Com.
mittee of the House and urge upon it the
necessity of increa ing the cavalry regiments to
100 to each company. Gen. Crooks total
strength is LIZA, Terry's 1875 and to give this
force to them have stripped every fort from
the line of Manitoba to Texas. We want more
mounted men: We have not exceeded the
law enlisting Indian scouts in fact, we have
not so mauy as the law allows US. The whole
number in this division is only ia, The In
dams with Gen. Crook are not enlisted or even
paid. They are not worth paying. They are
there only to crafty their desire for fight and
for revenge on the Sioux.

of War endorses the recommendation of Sher:-
dan, and the letter of the Secretary of War
recommends the same to the President.

to very great hardships. He was not opposed
to the principle of the bill, but he desired to see
it perfected and therefore he desired to have the
question postponed till next session in order
that all classes in interest might have fair
hearing.
Mr.. Sampson of Iowa, one of the conferees,
argued that the bill had been carefully consid-
cred by the committees of both Houses, and
said the President of the Junk Dealers Associ-
alton had been in communication with the COM
mittee, and had his views fully considered
No persons could be in iured by the bill unless
it was shown his act was done with intent to
defraud. In fact, the promoters of the bill
feared its provisions in that respect were too
diluted to be effective against the evil sought to
be remedied.
Mr.. Conger also argued in support of the
bill.
The conference report was rejected, yeas 6S,
nays S3-eauivalent to the defeat of the bill.
