OMAHA, July 6. Information at the Red
Cloud agency, dated July 4, is that Il
great deal OF mourning and uneasiness is
exhibited by Indians at the agencies This
would seem to confirm the reports of Sc

ments
| FURTHER DETAILS OF THE TRAGEDY.
The only survivor Of the Gustav expe-
| dition is a Crow scout who managed to
| escape. He says the Sioux completely
| enveloped Gustav, who killed his horses,
using their remains for breastworks He
fought desperately, the Indians charging
his position repeatedly, and losing heavi-
| ly. The Crow believes they lost more
| than Gustav One company, that of Cap
tain Smith, tried to cut its way out to the
rear, but all were killed, and their bodies
lay some rods from Gustav all in a little
| knot Gustav was among the last to fall.
y
beard was the last one standing that the
Crow recognized. Custar and his COM
mand were all killed within an hour. Gus
tars command having been finished, the
Indians gathered their entire force around
Reno, leaving the squaws to mutiatc the
dead and torture the living.
When the bodies of Gustav and his COM
panions were found it was three days at
81 la; a.,
scorching sun, they had become badly de-
composed All were buried where they
fell.
The remains bear many evidences Of
torture. Some seemed to have been shot
with arrows in certain parts while still
living, and from others portions Of their
| bodies were removed. The heads of near
| " all had been crushed with stone clubs.
In some eases the heads were severed
from the body and the entrails taken from
some, and from many the limbs We're
| chopped off. Some bodies were partly
burned. The clothing belonging to some
was found and recognized, but the bodies
! could not be found
The squaWs had stone malets and
smashed in the skulls Of the dead and
wounded. Many We're gashed with knives
and some had their noses and other mem
bers cut off. The heads of four white
soldiers We're found in the Sioux camp
| that had been severed from the trunks,
but the bodies could not be found on the
battlefield or in the village.
There are at Fort Abe Lincoln twenty
nine widows, made by the late Indian
massacre, seven of them officers wives
Mrs. Gustav is left without Il blood rea-
ten, Mrs. Calhoun is very low from ncr-
vous exhaustion. Mrs Custar bore up
bravely ut first, but now is almost in de-
spair. Mrs Porter refuses to see any one.
She believes her husband fell alive into
the hands of the Indians and was tortured
to death.

against the debating Of appointments by

as Secretary of the Treasury reached this
city this afternoon and was the occasion
of much rejoicing among his personal
political friends. Gov Conner called on
MIR. Blaine in his sick room and rendered
him the appointment of United States

licans of Maine that he should fill the
vacancy caused by Mr.. Morrill's resigna-
ton. 1t is understood that Mr.. Blaine
will accent the place.

Our Coming Congressional Conven-
tiGD.

The the for holding the Convention
for the nomination of Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the Fifth District is
near at hand. In another column will be
found the call for the convention TO meet
at Ellsworth, August 10Th The oc-
cason will be Of more than usual impor-
lance, because Of the strong probability of
Democratic majority in the District in
September and the consequent election of
the candidate who shall be voted for by
the supporters Of Tilden and Reform
Until within the past two weeks but lit
tie has been said in reference to the can
dldatc. But since the St Louis nominal
tloDs have put vastly improved appear
ancc upon Democratic prospects, we hear
Of the Willingness upon the part Of several
prominent Democrats i'll the District to ac-
ccpt the honor of Il nomination and the
chances OF the canvass. This is of course
all right and proper, provided such aspi-
rations are consistent with the rights of
others. We very we'll remember that in
1871 the Democratic nomination for that
position was not sought after The posi-
ton, as the saying is event begging"
Prominent and aspiring Democrats did
not volunteer with any alacritV to accept
defeat and be buried under the 1900 ma
.jority which Hale piled up in September
But there was one man, an able, accom-
plshed and popular gentleman who said
that his fortunes We're cast with the party,
at all times and under all circumstances
that il was his duty to endure its ADVERSE
ty, il he hoped to share Its prosperity
and that ii his name would help to solve
a difficulty or fill n void in the ticket, the
party were at liberty to use it That man
was Hon. Charles \. Spot1ord, of Deer
Isle 1t was Il manly position which that
gentleman took, and one for which he de
served ana received the thanks of the
party.
Two years have gone by, and we ale oil
the eve Of another Congressional election.
The aspect Of the canvass is different from
that presented in 1874 lii the Governor
vote OF last fall the Republican majority
in the Fifth District was cut down to a
very small ligure--say four hundred-;nd
with the splendid National ticket and the
spontaneous movement for Reform, the
aspect is very favorable for Democratic
success in this District And the question
rccurs,, WhO Shall be nominated? We must
confess to Il liking for the man who stood
by the party, who upheld its banner in the
hour of need, and proved himself true
man when true men We're wanted. Ii is
easy enough to be IN observer when the
issue is doubtful, and come to the front
when victory is substantially won-hut
the people have i preference tor men who
arc ready in the hour of need
Another and it possible Il stronger rea-
son for re-nominating Mn Spo1ford is that
there IS party custom, rs strong as law,
for giving all candidates a denomination
1t would be Il grievous wrong toward Il
gentleman who has this double claim up
on the party, to coolly bid him step aside
ut this time, and give place to some other
candidate-a wrong which we feel sure
the Democracy Of the Fifth District will
not cUunteMance.
