The Black HiIis-An Indian Fight
Probable.

OMAHA. January pa large mum.
Der of citizens have left here during the
past week for the Black Hills, and many
persons are arriving daily en- route from
the east. Huch trouble is anticipated
with the Indians in that section this sum-
mer. The Arrapahoes, who have been
south this winter, say that they are all
determined on war for the possession
of the Black Hills country, and are pre-
pared for it. 1t is not thought that the
govern ment will interpose to keep the
miners out, but may leave them to pro-
tect themselves.

ed by mail, accompanied with your card
an article over your signature, published
in the Delaware county Democrat, ol
Dec...SO, 1875. perused the article with
much interest, and many of It's views
command my unqualified approval, but l
have only time to thank you for your
very kind reference to me in that arti-
Gle, and say that it was not my desire in
any degree whatever that my name shall
be used IN connection with tho National

present to our next National Convention
another of her sons as candidate Tor

advocacy for that place will stand with
them in hearty cooperation. My judg-

do better, if 30 well, than to nominate
Governor Hendricks,

FORTY-F0URTH CONGRESS
Debate on the Financial
Question.

The House met in Committee Of
the Whole, Mr.. Eden in the chair, for
general debate. No buiness was trans
acted. Very few seats of members were
occupied.
MIR. Schlucher opened the debate.
He advocated speedy return to a coin
basis, which LIE held could alone give
that confidence necessary 10 secure the
investment of capital and consequent
business. He would first resume pay
ment of the fractional currency next
June, redeeming one million a month
beginning with the smallest denomina-
nation; then he would commence to re-
deem legal tenders next November by
selling ten millions gold or silver month
ly for legal tender notes, destroying all
the redeemed currency, and this plan he
would keep up till it was all destroyed.
He calculated that this could be done in
three and half years without any
shock to business, and then there would
be left a national bank circulation re-
deemable in gold and silver on demand.
The means for this operation might be
obtained: First by the use of all surplus
gold in the treasury; then by the use of
the thirty millions paid annually to the
sinking fund which was no more sacred
than the payment of past due prom
issory notes; and then by the issue
of fifteen millions five per cent
bonds and their sale for gold. Contrac-
tion formed no part of this scheme for
resumption, the only sale of bonds for
currency that he termed an advocate"
would be for the purpose of obtaining
funds to meet the deficiencies of the cur
rent expenses of the government caused
by the appropriations Of gold, and
he would have the currency at once paid
out to remain in circulation until in it's
turn it was redeemed, which would .oc-
cur but once or twice, because as soon as
the currency reached par with gold
or silver then the currency would
appear in the receipts of the government
as well as in its disbursements.
Speeches on the finances were also
made by Messrs. Ward and Campbell,
and against protective tariff by MIR.
Mills, and then the House adjourned.
