May 18th, 1876.
Editor Husbandanam: The Big Horn and
Black Hills Expedition, of which / happen
to be a member, organized on the Saltwater
on April Ttll, 1875, and on the Sth we started
on our journey. Our progress to Fort
Smith, ON the Big Horn, owing to the
bad roads, was very slow. The stream at
that point being rough and difficult to ford,
we laid over one day. From there we
started tor Goose creek, reputed to be a place
Of fabulous riches, but we failed to find any
wealth.
Our next Land of Promise was Fort Phil
kearney. We laid at that point for four
days, and sent ottt prospecting parties.
With the exception of a party, headed by
John Z. Barnes, who, by indomitable per
seyerefcc. found a single color in a tribu-
tary Of Clear Fork, there were found neither
colors nor paying prospects. The noun
talns could not be penetrated on account of
snow and the want of time.
The next point where our hopes conferred
was Clear Fork. Here we were also doomed
to Disappointment, although it was by far the
most favorable place We have seen. I do
not consider this a gold-bearing country. If
there are any mines IN the Big Horn coun-
try they are far up in the mountains where
wagons cannot penetrate and can only be
entered in the fall.
We have seen no Indians since we left the
Crows. We found Crooks camp, on Crazy
Woman's Fork, and judged from appear
ances that the command had left a month
previous. We found a mans entire suit of
clothes which were saturated with blood,
the shirts being pierced through both sides.
We found camp sign at Reno, but have no
idea where the command is at the present
time.
Our party split up this morning. About
one hundred men start for the Black Hills
with pack animals. The remainder of the
expedition consisting of about one hundred
men, one woman and her little girl, with
thirty-two wagons, will start this evening or
early tomorrow morning, to make a thirty
mile drive without water. We go through
the Pemmican Buttes, and thence down the
North Cheyenne. Yours ETC.,

Mr.. O'Brien's Vote.

We are glad to record the fact, that at
least one Maryland Democratic Representa-
tive in Congress voted against the violation
of the solemn national pledge contained in
the Sherman act, which fixed period for
resumption of specie payments. Whether
the Republican party had failed or not to
supply the means to accomplished the re-
suit, yet to use Mr. O'Brien's own words
"The business interests of the country
"now waning needed strengthening by
"some substantial provision for return to
"the money of the constitution. The
"repeal Of this provision would be a sur
"render to the madness Of imitation, and if
"obtained on the ground of political erpedi-
"ency, would" he feared, 'prove seri-
"ous hindrance, if it were not fatal to the
"cause sought to be advanced"
Yet the repeal was secured on the ground
of "political expediency," as no one knows
better than Mr.. O'Brien. Query: How, in
view of his own protest against this act,
can he consistently support Tilden and

THE HAPPY INFLATIONISTS.

They who dreamed that the defeat in
Ohio last Fall of the Currency Reform
ers, Inflationists, Rag Baby worshipers,
Olebillallenites (or by whatever euphoni
GUS title Repudiationists are known in the
West and South was final and decisive,
reckoned without their host, as the events
of the past week amply demonstrate.
Since our last issue two events have
occurred calculated to excite very serious
reflection, not only in the minds of Repub-
licans, but upon the part of all who respect
national pledges and regard national credit,
viz, Mr.. Tilden's surrender to the Infla-
tionists, and the repeal of the Resumption
act by the Lower House of Congress-
Neither event, it is true, has taken the
country by surprise, for an impartial con-
sideration of Mr.. Tilden's record as poll
tician, will be sufficient to assure any seeker
after truth that he is made of just the
plastic stuff to meet the demand of men
ready to sacrifice national interests to party
expediency. Such lie has shown himself
in his I, cent letter. If lie or his friends
wish TO vindicate his claim to political sin
CtiIty, let them turn to tLat record. In
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1876-08-12
MR.. TILDEN'S LETTER REPUDIATION.

After painful and protracted period of
incubation, relieved only by the anxious
solicitation Of its political God fathers,
that full fledged epistolary bantlng, whose
birth the Democratic soothsayers had fore
told was to herald the dawn of the great
era of National reform, has at last been
warmed into life and being.
Although oppressed by cares of State,
and weighed down by the pressure of mani
fold millions, rescued from the grasp of
Mr.. Tilden has, in the native goodness of
his heart, snatched few tleeting moments
from his unavoidable occupations" in
which to tender to his grateful countrymen
the assurances of his happiness at his
unexpected prospect of realizing at
their nnselfish hands the coveted prize of
the Presidency. Equally gratified by the
egotistic and self-laudatory tone of this
puzzling epistle to the people, charmed
alike by the graceful ambiguity of his
classic phrases, and the cogent force and
originality of his reasoning, his admiring
but wool-gathered couutrymen yield to the
spell of his commanding genius, the neces-
sity of fully compromising the meaning
of his profound but perplexing verbosity.
We had intended to say, however, until
betrayed into this happy strain, by four
careful readings of the letter in question,
that the country at large, particularly
the professional and educated portion of
it, should be, irrespective of political
"screeds," congratulated upon SO elabor-
ate and exhaustive a contribution to cur
rent political literature
That MIR. Tilden's letter is in one sense
table," no one pretends to deny. That it
is a sharp arraignment of the present Adj
ministration for the liberation of evils, the
growth and development of which are
largely the result of the teaching and tenets
of the party whose purity he pleads, is no
less true. That it is an admirable piece of
special pleading, drawn by the ready hand
and dictated by the cunning shrewdness of
a partisan politician, rather than the per-
spicuous declaration of opinions of pro-
found statesman, is no less fact. Its
apparent object is rather to confuse by it's
oppressive prolixity of language, than to
convince by the simple drectness of it's
argument. That it displays the "phrasy"
financier, given to fine spun theories and
speculations, which, however much be may
attempt to elaborate and explain, yet fails
to satisfy and convince his readers of the
reason and practicability of, is also true.
1t is not free from the charge of wilful
misstatement. Can its ingenious writer
expect an intelligent public to accept in
good faith the apology rendered almost in
its opening sentence for the delay in its
appearance, when he declares that "Ae
acaHs himself Of tie first interUalin unagoid-
able occupations,' to write it. What is the
inference herein conveyed, and what is the
fact? Has lie not consumed more than five
