He IL Teton-Sioux, and only thirty
Ave years OF age. Capt. McGarry, Oh tne
steamer Benton, tells me he has known
Sitting Bull about the Upper Missouri
trading posts for many years. HIS prin-
cipal bartering place was ut Fort Peck;
though Of late years he and his band
have followed the buffalo north on the
Souris aud Pembina rivers, ana nave
bartered their robes and tongues 1or
guns and ammunition with the French
and half-breeds of Manitoba. Sitting
Bull was q convert and friend Of Father
DeSmet, who taught him to read and
write French He has always scorned
to learn English, but Is fair french
scholar. In the Dakota language ne is
also versed, and declared to be greater
orator than Little Pheasant, .chief OF
the Yanktonnais. Capt. McGarry
read the French history of Napo-
Icons wars, and believes that he has
modelled his generalship after the little
Corsican Corporal. Sitting Ball has
never accepted an overture OF peace,
the report that he gave In his adhesion
at SulIy to the contrary notwitbstand-
ing. He has always been an unrelent-
ing and yindictive savage-to the Amer
leans what Schamyl was to the Russian.
Father DeSmet kept the Teton-Slonx
from the war path until 1868. He then
left the Upper Missouri, and Sitting
Bull became a chief. No organized
effort was made to array the Sioux Ma
ton against the whites until after the
Minnesota massacre Of 1868, when the
Sioux were driven west of the Missouri
into the bad lands and mountains Of
Dakota. Sitting Bull aspired to the
leadership, but Red Cloud. Spotted TAI,
Little Pheasant and the Ogalalla Sit
ting Bull chiefs repudiated him. From
that time he has been q amalcontent, and
ut war with the chiefs Of the Sioux Ma
tion, though he has by his persuasive
arts Of oratory seduced many hundreds
of their young braves into his ranks.
He Is also largely reinforced by young
braves from the Crees and Assiniboins
of Manitoba. Every summer for flve
years he has been up north among these
tribes, and now they are Hooking 10 hls

HAYES AND THE SALARY GRAB.


A few days since, we heard Dan Prime
make an assertion on the streets, that the
most brazen Democrat has never dared
70 make about Gov. Hayes, charging that
he was salary grabber Ordinarily, we
would not take any notice OF such a wild
charge, especially as every one knows Dan
never talks, and is not likely to spread
such yarn; but this charge being so far
from and so wide Of the truth, we pro-
pose to give the facts. Gov. Hayes was
not in Congress when the back pay grab
was passed, neither had he been for years.
He was first elected to Congress in 1864,
reelected in 1866, and elected Governor
in 1867. before his term of Congress ex-
pired, and was never reelected to Con-
gress again, being beaten in 1872, by
Henry Banning, liberal from Cincinnati.
The second Ohio, Hayes district, was at
the time the grab was passed, represented
by Job E. Stevenson, Republican, who
voted against the bill every time. Daniel
YOU should be careful and not make
charges of such flimsey nature, and which

HON. HIRAM PRICE.

The SecCnd District has done a good
thing, as announced in our special des
patch last week, by nominating Hon.
HIRAM PRICE for Congress. There has
been lively fight in that district for
some time, with the half dozen candi-
dates, and all feared bad blood would be
engendered, but when on the seth ballot
the name of Mr.. Price, (who not had been
a candidate) was announced, all saw their
way out, and on the next ballot he was
nominated by reclamation. Mr.. Price
served six years in Congress, 1862 to
1868, and was one of the strongest mem
bers of the famous Congress, when Iowa
had the strongest delegation as whole.
on the floor. Mr.. Prices ability, honesty,
and integrity have never been questioned,
and he will keep Iowa's standard to its
present high position. We are glad to
see such men brought to the front by the
Republican party, in this important con-
fest

WELL DONE NEW YORK.

This is a good year for Republicans
all over the Union. They have stopped
fooling, stopped chickering's and back-bit-
ings, stopped personal warfares for small
bored ambitions, and are nominating the
wisest and best men in the party for stand
ard bearers. For a long time Indiana was
looked to doubtfully, but Ben Harrison's
nomination for Governor put the question
at rest, and Indiana will go Republican.
Then to New York did all eyes next turn,
with an anxious gaze, and the Democrats
hoped against hope that the Republicans
would put up man of straw for them to
knock over but again they are doomed to
disappointment and defeat, for with
hearty and healthy unauimity, Hon. Ed
WIN d. MORGAN, the old war governor,
was placed in nomination, and has given
the best satisfaction the country over. We
have few such men in the land as Gov.
Morgan, and the Empire State viii never
permit his defeat. Immediately after his
nomination by the Republicans, the Liber-
al State Convention which was in session
awaiting the action of the other, took him
up and endorsed him, agreeing unani-
mousIy to support him. This is a great
element of strength, and will surely insure
a Republican triumph. This reunites the
warning factions of the State, and makes
doubly sure the fact that in November
next we will roll up rousing majority in
New York, for Hayes and Wheeler.

JUST AS WE EXPECTED

The Democratic cloven foot showed
itself early in the campaign in this county.
Last week we warned Republicans against
the snares that were being laid for their
feet, and Saturday proved the truth OF
our warning. Last Saturday according to
a cut and dried programme agreed upon
by the Democratic fuglers both the Dem
ocratic and greenback conventions, met in
this city, to nominate candidates for coun-
ty officers. The greenbackers, composed
principally of old-line Democrats met in
the morning, and nominated the follow
ing ticket: For Clerk, Geo. L. Shinnick,
a lifelong Democrat, who has been their
candidate for same Office once or twice be-
tfore For Recorder, John A. Proudft,
supposed to have been a negative Repub-
lican in the past For Representative,
DR.. Lucy, a Democrat, who has hardly
lived in the county long enough to gain a
residence. For member of the Board,
Gideon B. McFall, lifelong Democrat
There we have three Democrats and one
"nobody-knows what" on the ticket for
Republican greenbackers to support, and
to make the bargain still palmer, the
Democratic convention met in the after
noon and ,oith a aoritten programme in
the chairman's hand, proceeded to carry
out the job hV adopting the bantling that
was born in the greenback camp in the
morning. So the above ticket will be
foated at the head of the Peter Cooper
paper of this city, as well as that of Tam
many Tilden's sheet.
Now wavering Republicans do you not
think the gauze little too thin to cover
that trade? Will you be thus sold and
delivered, before you are fairly out of
the old oeRip? We imagine not. We
think this corrupt bargain can but open
your eyes to the fact that Democracy are
running both these parties, and that when
election comes, the vote, nearly as whole
will be cast for Tilden instead of Cooper.
Will you i. Up do this We think not
We k7lo,o YOU will not, if you are honest
in your professions, unless you are very
easily duped.

STATE SUPERINTENDENT.

The Republican State Central commit
tee met at Des Moines last Thursday, to
fill the vacancy in the ticket caused by
the resignation Of Prof. Abernethy, as
State Superintendent of Public Schools,
and placed Prof. G. w. Won Coelln of
Black Hawk county in nomination. The
nomination is meeting with general favor
in all parts of the State, in both parties.
Prof. Won Coelln is German by birth,
and graduate of Bonn University, Ger
many, has been resident Of this coun-
try for over 20 years, all of which time
he has been engaged in teaching, mostly
in Iowa. He was at one time connected
with Iowa College, and has the highest
recommendations from his old associates,
and also the principal-Pres. Nagoun.
He has for some years been exclusively
in the public schools, and in the institute
work, and is now Superintendent of the
Waterloo schools. That he will be elect
ed by a rousing majority, everybody OF
course comedies. The Governor will no
doubt appoint him to gil the vacancy
