How Crook Whips the Indians.

one OF the most important events of
the Sioux war occurred at Red Cloud
agency on the morning of Sunday last.
convinced that the Indians at that
point were in communication with the
hostile camps, and were ready to join
the cut-thrOat bands rather then sub.
NIT to the order requiring their dis
armament, Gen. Crook made the neces-
sary disposition, and, at daylight on
the morning named surrounded the
lodges Of the Red Cloud and Red Leaf
bands, some three hundred in number,
and captured the whole of both parties,
including braves, squaws, and children.
Their ponies and arms were taken also,
and the captives were at once marched
to the agency. Following this success
full coup General Crook deposed Red
Cloud from his chieftainshlp, and
made Spotted Tail head of all the bands
OF the two agencies, being satisfied of
his good faith and ability to rule the
tribe effectively. The new chief prom
lsed substantial assistance in the COM
ing campaign against the wild tribes,
and will probably find enough of peace
ably-disposed in the united bands to be
of material service in the movement
in which Crook is now ready to make.
A like change of the chiefs of the Sioux
was made by United States authority
about half century ago, when Black
Hawk was deposed during the war in
this region that has been ever since
known by his name, and the effect was
decidedly beneficial. Last Sunday 8
work is particularly important as a
forcible example of the new policy of
disarmament on large scale. Pro-
perly followed up, this policy cannot
fail to have the most satisfactory re-
suits. AS prisoners of war, the cap
tured savages have lost all their rights,
real or theoretical, under the treaties
which they have violated, and there
will no difficulty about their immediate
transfer to any reservation that the
government may set apart for them.

Thanksgiving Day Proclamation.

The President has issued the follow
ing proclamation for the observance of a day
of thanksgiving throughout the United States:
sFrom year to year we have been accus-
toned to pause in our daily pursuits and set
apart time to offer our thanks to Almighty
God fer the special blessings He has vouch-
safed to us, with our prayers for O continu-
ance thereof. We have at this time equal
reason to be thankful for this continued pro-
lection, and tor the many mater ial blessings
which His bounty has bestowed. In addi-
ton to these favors accorded to us as indi-
vlduals, we have especial occasion to express
our hearty thanks to Almighty God that by
His providence and guidance our govern
ment, established century ago, has been
enabled to fulfill the purposes OF It's founders,
in offering an asylum to people OF every race
securing civil and religious liberty all
within its borders, and melting out to every
individual alike justice and equality before
the law. 1t is moreover especially our duty
to offer our humble prayers to the Father OF
all mercies tor continuance of His divine
favor to US as a nation and as individuals.
"By reason of all these considerations I.
Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United
States, do recommend to the people of the
United States to devote the 3Oth day of No
vember next to the expression OF their
thanks and prayers to Almighty God. and
laying aside their daily avocations and al
secular occupations, to assemble in their re-
spective places OF worship and observe such
day as day OF Thanksgiving and rest"

Dangerous Inventions

Many years ago gentleman In a
subordinate department of the Bank OF
Ireland discovered device moro use

like nature he found out way of
splitting bank notes, so that each note
became two, and to all appearances are
the same as when they were one, II :
Guiding, of course, the water mark ard
all the rest of it. He was an honest
man, and informed the Government
of the result of his ingenuity where
upon, on his solemn promise OF never
revealing his secret, they made him
governor of the bank. Another gen.
tleman, but who unhappily is rogue

drawn by good name. for seventeen
or nineteen pounds; the word pounds
is obliterated so completely that no
trace of the origional writing can be
discerned even under the microscope,
and the words hundred pounds in
serted in it's place; two ciphers are adj
ded to the figures, and then the thing is
done. since all the other parts of the
document including the signature, are
quite correct. This ingenious plan is
causing great CONSERVATION in London,
and the gentleman who invented it
could get good round sum to retire
from business.

Tilden'S Tax Steal.

Washington Telegram toChicags Tribune
Tllden'S income tax furnishes its
own explanation. Unless Mr.. Tilden
authorizes his personal and political
friends to make public the contents of
the books which they have so jealous.
ly guarded from the Government Off
GERS, the charges against him will be
considered to have been presumptive-
ly proved. If those Charges are false,
Mr.. Tilden's friends are the sole GUS
todians of the proof of their falsity.
These friends do not deny the charges
or claim to be able to disprove them,
but maintain that no legal power can
compel the disclosure either of their
truth or falsity, and with this threat
and defiance they fall back upon what
they assume are their legal rights.
The evidence already obtained by
United States District-A ttorney Bliss
seems pretty clearly to establish, beth
by fair legal presumption and by abso-
Lutte proof, these facts:
That the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne
Railroad Company, about 1869, paid to
Tilden $50, 900 for services, this being
the year in which he returns only ST.
900 income; that this payment and
Tilden's receipt for it is among the
papers Of that Company that the
books containing this information have
been transferred to an officer of the
Company who is special political
friend of Tilden. and who refuses &C.
cess to them. This refusal seems to
have special significance, as it comes
from a board Of Directors of whom
Tilden Is one.

A Carnival of Fraud.

The Democrats, sailing under the
false colors of Reform, are making
a desperate fight for life. 1t is recog-
nized and felt by the eX-Rebels Of the
South that, unless they succeed in
gaining power this time, they can
never again be banded together ON a
sectional basis, hut that men will di-
vide up among the different political
parties south of Mason and Dixon's
line as they do at the North. 1t is
recognized and felt by the Tammany
politicians of New York that there will
never be another opportunity for them
to get an immediate representative
in the White House. 1t is recognized
and felt by the greedy Democratic
wolves in all parts of the country that
there will be left to howl in the will
derness forever unless they can break
into the doors Of the government this
year. There is nothing in the record
of their past to which they can point
as an earnest of their professions Of
good faith in the future, and there is
no important issue of the time about
which they are not quarreling among
themselves. But there is one unfail-
ing Democratic resource which they
hope to use in the present election
more extensively and effectually than
ever beforehand this is fraud. There
is scarcely section or district in this
country which the Democrats cherish
the smallest hope of carrying where
they are not making preparations to
pollute the ballot-box in one way or
another
