THE INDIANS.
THE CAMPAIGN CLOSED.
Red Cloud Surrenders.

CHEl ENNE, Oct. 26.-The arrival of General
Merritt's command at Red Cloud Tuesday, s,g-
nallzed the closing up the Big Horn and YELL
lowstone campaign which will be succeeded by
the Powder river expedition, consisting OF hf-
teen companies of infantry and eleven c0mpa-
MES of cavalry, the latter principally or the
fourth regiment, with few companies OF the
second and third, which have not been in the
summer campaign. All are fresh troops and
will be commanded by Gen. CROOK IN person.
The fifth cavalry will have its winter headquar-
tiers at Fort Russell, Gen. Merritt in command.
The third goes TO Fort Laramie. len compd-
MES will remain at Red Cloud.
Spotted Tail was formally installed chief of
the Sioux nation by virtue OF authority OF the
President, and was as such accepted by all the
Indians at that agency.
On Monday band under Young Man Afraid
of his Horses, ran off in the excitement and
started north. Word was sent them to come
back in five days or be considered hostile to the
government
The capture made by General Merritt consist
ed OF 500 Indians 700 ponies and large mum
Der of arms. The ponies and arms are to be
disposed of at auction on the I'd of November
at Fort Laramie.
The moral effect of this decisive policy is
wholesome, and peace promises to prevail at
the agencies.
LARnIIE, Oct 25.-Red Cloud and "a warriors
left the agency armed and equipped for the war
path, taking northeasterly direction towards
Shadron Creek. Gen. Mackenzie started to
head them off and in short time had them
surrounded and corralled twenty miles from the
agency. The warriors surrendered, though Red
Cloud wanted to fight. He finally submitted
and the whole outfit were disarmed and are
now prisoners. Red Cloud told Gen. Merritt
to let him out, give him chance and he would
show him some fighting. The Indians have
nearly all left the agency, going north in large
bands. The stage just in from Custer says 81
ponies crossed the road going north yesterday
There were fifteen lodges of Indians.

Mockhtar Pasha will shortly withdraw to
Trebinje. The plain around Trebinje is COM

turned home and refuse to relinqush the arms

The Posts Berlin dispatch states that Rou-
mania has given assurances that her military
measures are intended for nos other purpose
than the autumnal practice. The six weeks
armistice with prospect of subsequent pro-
lopgatOu If necessary, is now reported as Sc
cured.
LONDON. Oct 27.-The Times correspondent
at Belgrade says: The depression here contn-
ues. L cannot help thinking we are at the be-
ginning of the end. If the Russo Servian army
is lett uBassisted the Turks will assuredly
reach Belgrade. They are advancing slowly
and irresistibly. However, unless the arms
tice is concluded Gen. Tchernayeff will Ger
tainly fight to the last. There is scarcely any
reason to doubt that the Servian government
has lost all control over Tchernayeff, which is
| completely at variance with the minister OF
war. In regard to the rumors of a crisis cor.
respondent says doubtless the minister would
| gladly resign if the Prince would accept his
resignation mud if they could get others to re-
| place him.

POLITICAL
Especial Despatch to the Boston Traveller.l
Tllden's Letter.


Tllden's Letter.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-That Tlden himself
is thoroughly alarmed about the political out
look is evidenced by his letter on theipayment of
Southern claims, which is regarded here as a
desperate move to check the tide of public SEN
timent in the North and to try to save New
York state to the Democracy.
The Southern Democrats are very indignant
at Tilden's course, and some of them freely as
sert that mis- letter will drive away from him
thousands Of voters in the South. Others,
while denOunGng him. assert privately that
they regard the letter as purely an eectoneer-
ing dodge, and that he will be only too glad to
give them the payment for the losses incurred
in the war, when he ascertans that the Dem
ocratic party in the South are united on this
question.
Among Republicans the letter is spoken of
as virtual admission that the Democrats are
in danger of losing New York, or else that the
chairman of the National Committee would
not have called on Tilden to supplement his
letter of acceptance with declaration of what
his course would be 10 regard to certain meas
ures If elected. The letter has done more to
inspire Republicans with confidence that New
York will be carried by Hayes next month";
than anything that has occurred during the
campaign. 1t is said here that the instructions
were sent from the New York Democratic
Headquarters to keep the letter out of the
Southern Democratic papers, so as not to reach
the eyes of Southern men, on the ground that
it was written purely to affect the canvass in
New York state.

THE RAILROAD WAR,
Aance Of Eastward Freights.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The Post says the
railroad representatives which recently met at
Detroit are now in session in this city. From
what we heard yesterday we are led to suppose
that such arrangements would be made as
would lead today to the announcement of
general advance in rates. Our information
this morning does not prepare us for such an
announcement for several days, although we
are assured that an advance has been practi-
cally ag reed on and is only delayed by settle
ment of details.
At the railroad meeting today there were
present John Newell, representing the Lake
Shore; Messrs. Sloan and Ledyard, President
and general manager of the Michigan Central;
Mr.. Broughton. representing the Great Yves
tern and Grand Trunk of Canada, and Mr..
w. L. Scott of the Canada Southern. They
unanimously agreed to advance eastern bound
treights. The next step toward the settlement
of the railroad war is meeting of the eastern
trunk lines, which will be held Immediately.
The meeting of the eastern trunk lines or rep
resentatives is called for tomorrow at the office
of VIM. II. Vanderbilt.

In connection with the recent stock jobbing
report of the death of Commodore Vanderbilt,
1t is interesting to read how similar offense
was punished IN England sixty years ago. The
story is told by Mr.. Townsend in the Graphic.
The offender was Lord Cochrane He spread
abroad a false report of the death of Bonaparte.
He was sent to Newgate for one year, exposed
in the pillory, and expelled from parliament.
For 20 years after he was a vagabond on the
face OF the earth, and all his romantic gallan-
try in Greece, Chill, and Brazil could not sof-
ten the British heart.
