The Sad Fate Of Custer.

The massacre Of five companies OF
United States Cavalry, with Gen. Custer
at their head, is shocking affair. That
large and well appointed force, fitted
out expressly to operate against the In
dians, should have chosen its time of at
tack, and been SO disastrously defeated,
can be accounted but little less than dis
grace to the country, The sad fate of
poor Custer will cause many u sigh OF re-
gret. An accomplished officer, with an
honorable record, brave. lashing, scorn-
ing danger-he was a splendid cavalry
leader, and had apparently Il brilliant
future
Gen. Custer, whose intimate knowledge
Of the Indian character and experience on
the plains peculiarly fitted him for the
place, was at first appointed to command
the expedition. Had the attack been
planned by him, it is believed the result
would have been different But Gen.
Custer, in answer TO q summons, had tes-
titled before the committee in regard to
his knowledge of the scandalous sale of
post-traderships, and the cheating opera
tions Of Orvillc Grant In revenge he
was removed from his command by the
President, and only allowed to 90 with his
regiment, in a subordinate place
Washington was agitated on Tuesday
by the news Of the sudden resigna-
ton of Marshall Jewell, as Postmaster
General. No reason is given All that
Jewell himself knows is that, without the
least warning or expectation, the Presi-
dent informed him that his resignation
would be accepted, and it was immediate
ly rendered. As Mr. Jewell had been IN
excellent and efficient cabinet officer,
there was great conjecture as to the
cause of his sudden retirement As good

Journal sets it down thus
The cause has not TRANSFERRED, but it has been

retrenchnent and reform. The recent removal
of Mr.. Dyer as District Attorney at s.. Louis
was not approved by Mr.. Jewell, who has for
some time predicted that he would be invited
to resign.
Thus it seems to be fatal to a subordi-
nate to advocate retrenchment and reform
under this administration. The removal
OF Dyer, for a too vigorous pursuit of
whiskcy thieves, was IN outrage that no
honest man could approve, And for pre-
suming to differ from the President and

WASHINGTON.

Proposed Congressional Bull Doing.
Washington, Dec. 20.-The Demo-
Gratis have abandoned Oregon, South
Carolina and Florida, and now base
their hopes entirely on Louisiana. In
Louisiana nothing will be allowed to
stand in the way of a report to the
House of the very strongest character,
asserting Tilden's election, and or that
report they will undertake to rest their
case, and demand the inauguration of
Tilden. All Republicans who were in
Louisiana during the counting of the
votes agree that it is absolutely impos-
sible for the House committee to dam
age the Republican case.
President Grdnt and the Territories.
President Grant, in a recent coversa-
ton, said: The progress of population
and occupation of the Territories is SO
rapid, that it is necessary to adopt a diff
ferent policy as far as the geographical
locations of tribes are concerned. He
thought that the useful occupation of
the public domain for mining and agri-
culture was important than their
being kept as hunting grounds for a v
ages. He said 1t is better for the In
dams, and certainly more economical
for the government, to gather all the In
dian nations and tribes as rapidly as
possible within the limits of n desig-
mated Territory, where they may be
protected from Entertainments by
whites, and be more effectually preven-
ted from further wars and devastation
upon settlements.
Sensible TdM.
There is a growing opinion among
men OF both parties, that a way out OF
the difficult situation can still be opened
by the Supreme Court. Thus far the
whole dispute IA be narrowed down to
the question whether the House of Rep
resentatives has the right, of its own
motion and without the concurrence OF
the Senate, to throw out the return of
a State. This is a purely col stitution-
al question, and like all questions aris-
ing out of different interpretations of
that instrument, should be referred to
the Supreme Court. The great difficult
ty, though, is to get the matter before
the court. Democrats and Republicans
both are favorable to the plan.
The Last Plan.
The last plan preached is that Con-
gress shall not count the electoral vote
at all, but shall declare by a joint reso
luton that there has been no lawfn
election, and then alter the law of 1892
SO as to provide for holding a new cleo
ton in May next.
The Joint Committee.
At a consultation between Speake,
Randall and Acting Vice Presiden
Ferry, in regard to the political divis
ion Of the joint committee to conside
the question of counting the %electora
vote, the former said he intended t
appoint FIVE Democrats and two Repub
licans. Ferry said he thought this a
unfair division, and proposed that Ran
dali should appoint four Democrats an
three Republicans and then he FERRY
would appoint in the Senate four Re
publicans and three Democrats. Ran
dali agreed't to this, but Ferry will no
announce the Senate committee unit
after Randall appoints theIHouse com
mittee.

To polish furniture use equal parts

ply with a flannel. 1t will remove all
white marks and all the scratches, and
should be kept always ready for use.
1t gives the room a fresh appearance to
rub all the furniture with this prepare
ton. One feels well rewarded for the
labor. If any white spots are so firmly
fixed that the polish does not remove
them, it can be done by rubbing with
turpentine; then holding a hot shovel
over them.
