suggestions. II will be seen that he has
cut down the appropriation required by

CHICAGO, February 20, 1876. !
The necessity Of two military posts
on the Yellowstone has been appar:
ent to me for two years past, and |
have recommended their establish
ment in two of my annual reports.
So strongly have ! been convinced Of this
necessity that have without any ex-
pense to the government made m ex-
animation OF the Yellowstone river, and
he had settled the points at which they
should be built.
The Indian question in the Black Hills
must now be settled, by the establishment
ofthe Indians on the Missouri river, and
with tie accomplishments Of this purpose
the two posts mentioned will have to be
located, one at or near the mouth Of the
Big Horn rivar, and the other ator near
the mouth OF the Tongue river. Those
posts, can be supplied, by steamboat
up the Yellowstone, and cam be construct
ed OF material found in the vicinity
Of the points selected. | think l can
have them built for 100000 each; in
other words, / will try TO build them for
100000, instead OF the 100000 men,
toned in the bill. The Black Hills coun.
try will probably be covered with towns
during the next five or six years. Its
value win canse mn extension Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad on the south
side Of the Yellowstone star as Gallatin
Valleytin Montana, and will also build
another railroadirom North Platte Sta.
tion, on the Union Pacific Railroad, to
tile Black Hills. I am Of the belief that
the largest deposits Of gold are further
west than where the miners are now
working. Owl Creek Mountains are
gold bearing; the. Big Horn Val.
ley is gold bearing; the Pow
der River is gold bearing; also
Clark's Fork OF the Yellowstone. Be-
sides this, the Black Hills have an abund.
ance Of good timber for tie treeless coun-
try south OF them and west Of the Mis-.
souri, river. The success of all these
interests depends upon the establishment
Of the two posts named. Military opera.
tions have now been commenced against
the hostile bands Of Sioux by request oil
the Interior Department, and | consider
this appropriation 80 necessary that ]
specially request immediate action.

From the New York Sun Of Monday.
In the Church OF Paulist Fathers in
West Fifty-ninth street yesterday, the
Rev. George NJ. Searle said that what
ever laws wcro created and enforced by
the Catholic Church would be sustained
in heaven. Tho Protestants let import.
ant passages Of Divine law so in at one ear
and out at The other. The fundamental
idea on which Protestantism started is
the rejection Of all,law upon the subject,of
religion. The Protestant Church is not Of
God, but merely OF men and women. The
Catholic Church is Gods visible kingdom
oRearth, II isthc highest power on earth,
and constitutes a court from which there
can be no appeal. The temporal. power
should be subject to the spiritual. Who:
ever denies that power rejects the law OF
Giod, The State has its own field Of &c.
lion, and with the State the Church would
not interlete 40 long as the State keeps
within its proper sphere. In all matters
Of faith and morals the Supreme PontiH
Is intallible, and when the Pope makes
any law in matter Of faith which con.
diets with the law OF the State, Catholics
are bound to obey him. The Pope may
make laws explanatory Of Divine law, in
SSSd!tion 10 Divine law, or independent Of
Divine law, where matters oi faith or
morals are concerned.

The Times special from Rome contains
the details Of the forgery Of bills Of ex-
changed purporting to have been drawn
by the King. The Marchese Mantegazza
was always hitherto regarded as a gen.
tleman worthy Of all confidence. He was
a director in the Mantwa Railway, and
some assert that he has been employed by
the King in financial operations, and has Ia
ken advantage Of the opportunities afford
cd by tkat confidence. In March, last
year the Marchese Mantegazza negotiat.
ed loan OF six millions francs for

GoRDoS's AFRICAN EXPEDITION.
The Times has letter from Alexandria
containing the following: It is stated on
good authority that Col. Gordon, the
African explorer, is returning to Cairo.
Various reasons are ascribed for this step,
among which are the following: Har-
rassing struggles with the rebellious
tribes have thinned his forces; the Egyp-
tian troopsd do not thrive at the Equator;
the blacks are not always readily received;
and also want Of harmony between Col.
Gordon and the Egyptian administration
for the permanent control OF Equatorial
Egypt. 1t is probable that Egypt will
temporarily abandon the development Of
her Equatorial possession.
