The Hoosaac tunnel and an average pres

Hercules once slew, was horriic, tusky,
bristly boar. But all the bores beneath

From Terry's Command,

CHEYENNE, July 15.-The following is
from Fetterman tonight: Three soldiers,
carriers from General Crook at South Big
Horn, have just arrived. Gen. 1erry's
and implies very plainly that had Custer
waited one day longer Gibbon would lave
joined him. Terry is anxious for Crook
to join forces, make plans and execute them
regardless Of rank. The Indians are still
lowering about Little Big Horn, one days
hard march from here. They fire into
camp every night of late, and try to burn
us out by setting the grass on fire all around.
On the 9th Lieutenant Sibley. Company E
Seventh Cavalry, with twenty-five men,
Frank Gruard and Baptiste Currier as
scouts, went on reconnaissance, but were
discovered and surrounded, and followed
into the timber Of the Big Horn mountains,
where by hitching the horses to trees and
abandoning them, the men were enabled to
escape ON foot by way of a ravine in the
lear. They all got back alive, and proba-
bly, this diversion saved the camp from a
grand attempt at stampede or capture.
The Snake Indians, 200 strong Joined us
here yesterday, but unless the Utes also
come seon, no offensive operations will
likely take place until the arrival Of the
Fifth Cavalry from Cheyenne, Additional
infantry are due from Fort Fetterman to-
day. The health Of the command is good.
Gen. Gibbons reserve force were met by
victorious Sioux, dressed in Custer's mems
clothes and mounted on their. horses, firing
into the soldiers. The Indian village pog-
sessed evidence of white mems presence,
kegs of whisky, etc, being found. Signal

/. By whom are the electoral votes for
President and Vice President counted
The Constitution says the President of the
Senate shall open, but does not designate
who shall count them. 2. Why is it that
tie popular vote - of the people does not
always elect the President take A. Lincoln
for instance, who was elected by the Elec-
toral College, but did not receive a majority
of the popular vote in 1860? 8. In what
battles did Governor Hayes distinguish
himself? He receives no mention whatever
in Greeley's American Conflict" an
acknowledged authority on the rebellion.
Ans.-1. The Clerk of the Senate, in the
presence of the Senate. 2. Because the
popular vote does not elect. Take two
States: Illinois has twenty-one electoral
votes, and casts about 100000 popular
votes. Ohio has twenty-five electoral
votes, and casts a popular vote of about
1000. Suppose the vote of Ohio was
two in a majority for the Republican cleo
tors; that is, received 259, 442 votes, and
that the Democratic vote was 259, ,440 and
that in Illinois the Democratic electors 1e-
ceived all the votes. This would make in
the two States Republican popular vote
of 259, 44S and Democratic popular vote
Of 709, 440, which would give popular
Democratic majority of 5O,o17; but in
the electoral vote the Republican candidate
would have majority of one vote, although
largely in the minority on a popular vote.
8. The battles in which General Hayes
distinguished himself were Carnifex Ferry,
Giles Court House, South Mountain,
(where he was severely wounded) Cloyd
Mountain, Winchester, Fishers Hill, Cedar
Creek (wherc he was promoted to Brigadier
General for gallantly), and other conflicts.
Greeley's history, which is valuable work,
could not in it's limited space mention any
large number of officers, even those who
distinguished themselves.

their character. 3. We think SO. If the

Our Delegate.

Hon. Orange Jacobs, who has rep
resented the interests of Washington
Territory in Congress for the past year,
has returned to his home ut Seattle, and
will doubtless. ere the winter. give an
account of his stewardship. 1t is not
ordinarily in the power of a territorial
delegate in Congress TO do any very
wonderful thing for the benefit of his
constituents, and especially when the
House Of Representatives is so largely
composed of an element hostile 70 inter
nal improvements and jealous of ma
tional success and prosperity. Judge
Jacobs whether the people appreciate
the situation or not) has been placed in
more trying position than any dele
gate who ever preceded him in Con-
gress from this Territory. The cry of
retrenchment has met him whenever he
applied for even the smallest appropri-
alton needed in the Territory. Presi-
dent making has monopolzed the lions
share of the attention of Congress, and
territorial delegate, representing a
people who have no voice in this mat
ter, dwindles to ins%niticance in the
presence Of the great party leaders OF
the States. But Notwithstanding these
difficulties, Judge Jacobs has worked
earnestly, patiently and constantly tc
secure. and has secured, the recogni
ton and respect of that great Legislative
body. 1t is not possible for any man
to more than pave the way for the fu-
ture during his first year in Congress
That years experience renders him &
more valuable public servant, twice
over, than he was before, and the iuicr
es,s of the people, as well as jus
tice to the man, demand that he should
be again honored with the position iol
another term. The Territory cannot
do better than to return Judge Jacob.
to Congress. The Kalama Convention
should give him the nomination aud the
voters will elect him.

Lewis River Republican Primary
Meeting.

The Republican Primary meeting
was held in Lewis River Precinct on
the 9th INST. X. 4. Lockwood and
l.. Gather were elected as dele
gates ~ the County Convention ut
ancouvcr. and instructed to vote for
the following nominations. to-wit
Il. L. Lockwood and w. Byron
Daniels for Representatives to the
Legislature. VIM. Ginder for Sher-
i'll. Chas. Brown for Auditor, VIM.
Ranck for Probate Judge, Chas.
Stiles for County Surveyor, Cap. ID.
X. Fales and E. II. Hamilton for
County Commissioners, Alcinous
buchanan for Assessor.
The delegates were also instructed
to use their influence with the Coun.
ty Delegates to the Territorial Con-
vention at kalama for the nominal
ton of Hon. Orange Jacobs for Del
Cgatc to Congress.
The committc on Resolutions re-
ported the following, which after a
brief discussion were adopcd:
Resolced, That the Republicans OF
this Precinct here assembled most
cordially endorse the National Re
publican Platform emanating from
the Cincinnati Convention, and, also,
the worthy, able and available nom
inccs, Hayes and Wheeler, candi-
dates for President and Vice Prcsi
dent, and that it is an egrcgious and
gross wrong that we and others OF
the Territory are not permitted to
vote for them,
Resolced, That the denying quail
fled electors citizens of territories
the privilege of voting for Prcsidcn,
and Vice President, is a violation OF
an inalicnablc and political right and
a great governmental wrong and
loss; and we therefore request oul
delegates to the County Convention
to urge the matter upon it with {
view of requesting or instructing oul
Representative to prepare and sup
port a memorial to Congress for the
attainment of this right.
Resolced, That a copy of these
resolutions and proceedings be for
wardcd to the INDEPENDENT toi
publication.
On motion adjourned sine die.

Hon. G. c. Bozarth has the cham

have been trained over frame work
about eight feet high, and now cover
an area of about 900 square feet and
are loaded to the fullest capacity with
rich clusters of grapes.
