Fort King, threatened by hostile Indians. The
command was attacked at nine In the mording
by party OF $50 ambusned seminolos, led by
the Chiefs MIcASoPr, JUMPER, and ALLIGATOR.
The troops made desperate resistance, but,
OWING to the nature OF the ground. it was Of no
avail. One Of the attacking SemiDoIse, who was
subsequently Captured, said, "There was little
man, a great brave, who shook his sword at the
soldiers and said, Go dam mo rifle oall could
hit him." In the end every officer and man in
the command was killed, the beero slaves Of
the Seminoes being sent upon the ground 10

A rebolious subject Of the Dominican
republic, which GRANT, aided 10y DABcoCK, tried
to buy out few years ago, was recently seized
while aboard N American ship by the Domlni-
can authorities. When the American Consul at
San Domingo protested against bis seizure, the
Dominican Government took hum by military
force. when the captain Of the vessel was
unable to offer resistance to their action, he
spread the American Gag on his deck, so that the
arrestinR party had TO march over II With their
prisoner. The Dominican Government will have
to he c He'd to account for this, and reparation
will have to be demanded. We have during the

There has never been any prospect OF
the success OF the parties who have been trying
to open the doors Of the Philadelphia Exhibition
on Sundays. The great majority OF the Centsn-
Mai Commissioners are opposed to Sunday
opening In way that admits Of no change Of
Judgment; and they have been made To feel
that the wealthy and influential portion Of the
community was on their side. Nevertho-
less. they agreed to listen to arguments in favor
OF Sunday openinR; and on Thursday last, a
number Of representative men delivered such
arguments before them; but when the vote on
the subject WAS taken yes erday II was found
that three-fourths OF the Commissioners took
ground, ae they had always done. against Sunday
opening. II Is OF no use to agltate the subject
further. so far the hope OF practical results Is
cnncarnad.

Some One has Numbered.

90 far as we can Judge from the meaRre
accounts yet given to the public, the plan
Of campaign against the Sioux was radi-
cally defective, inssmuch as IL involved the
concurrent and convergng operations Of
four widely separated columns against q
centrally situated enemy of greater
strength than any one Of the columns, II
not greater than all of them combined.
In civilized warfare such plan would
be said to violate all the maxims Of the
military art: and events show that In the
present case 1t has led to great disaster
Crook was first compelled to retire; q few
days later CUSTER was killed and Ave COM
panes of his regiment were massacred ;
while RENO, with seven companies, was
defeated and escaped CUsTER's fate by sew
eral days pf hard fighting; GInBoN has
fallen back, aud the campaign Is at an
end for the present. SITTING BULL, with
the skill OF u good General, taking advan-
tage Of the opportunity offered him, has
shown himself more than a match for
Gen. TERRY, to whom the command of the
expedition was given when GRANT pun
ished CUsTER's honesty by taking it from
him and who. IL seems from his own tele-
gram, Is the author Of the plan which has
led to such disastrous results.
Now let the veteran CRooK be put in
chief command. with power to concen-
trate the troops and repair the damage in
ficted upon them. II we must have war
with the Sioux, let the forces be put under
the control of n master, who is as prudent
and untiring Us he is skilful and gallant.

More than three years ago a special com-

More than three years ago special com-
mittee OF the Senate, and entirely Republican,
reported tn 1t the so-called State Government OF
Louisiana was a fraud, that the Legislature
which pretended to elect PINCHBACK TO tho
Senate W 8 not legal, and therefore his creden-
tials were utterly worthless. Consequently he
was not admitted. There was no contest, and
the whole hing was a sham which the Admins
tration had set up and held together with bayo-
nets.
Mir. MORTON and others who sought TO concil-
late the negro vote, aud to keep alive the feuds
IN Louisiana, managed to have PINCHBACK's
case hung up, like MAHosrr's conn, between
heaven and earth, until finally he was kicked
out Of doors. While he was thus seeking sdinis-
sion 20 the Senate, he also applied for q seat In
the House. No parallel case exislsin the records
OF Congress where an audacious adventurer,
without the color Of right or the least claim to
serious recognition. presents himself to the
Senate and House, knocks at the doors, and asks
to be seated and sworn In on an equality with
the best.
A Presidential election Is coming on, and
PINCH has given signs OF rebellion against KEEL
LoG0's Ring OF roRues. 1t was necessary to
caln him down, to bsrmonize the party, and
to secure his aid for PACKARD, the United
States Marshal. now q candid tie for Governor.
The Republicans OF the Senate knew his weak
spot, and voted him some twenty one thousand
dollars for services he never rendered and for a
claim which they denounced US invalid when
first presented IN 1873.
The Treasury Is low, the revenues are falling
on. the people are suffering, and labor Ia im-
poverished. This Is the time chosen by the Re-
publican Senate TO plunge Its arms into the
public vaults aud give away this large sum VI
the peoples money to a colored politician whose
aid is wanted to hello carry Louisiana by force
and fr.ud. To speak pl4inly, that money was
stolen from the treasury; and II the men who
voted for II had broken Into the safe, carried IN
twenty-one thousand dollars 10 Rreenbacks, and
divided 1t among themselves, thew would not
have committed greater crime than they did
In handing the money over to PIsCHBACK. No
wonder the Senate resists ECONOMY and de-
mands unlimited appropriations. when they are
to be squandered In this way.
