Henry Ward Beecher ON PoIi,ics.

Henry w afu hceCucf On fOhAlIcs.
NEW YORK, March 19.-In an interview on
the political situation, Henry Ward Beecher
said he had strong faith in Hayes and his
Southern policy, which will succeed if the
blacks are guaranteed the possession of their
rights He said the cultured and rich South.
ern people have no pluck when confronted
with those who murdered and abused the
blacks. They would, he said, print cards ex-
pressing sorrow and regret after anti-negro
riots had taken place, but never dared take
preventive measures. Beecher likes Evartss
and Schurz's appointments in the Cabinet, and
SAYS the former will make an excellent Secre-
tary of State, if he can be made to stop talking
about himself and bis speeches held down to
practical things and Hayes is probably the best
man to get work out OF him.
Not one in ten could get into the church in
st Louis last night to hear Beecher, and out
sders we're so rowdyish that the windows had
to be closed and the police were obliged to keep
them quiet.

bic, before a court martial (Col. Hazen pre-
siding) is drawing to close. Ex-Gov. Davis
summed up for Major Reno to-day, and Judge
Advocate Barr will close Tomorrow. The trial
is private, but it is known charges were brought
by Capt. j. M. Bell, stationed at Fort Aber-
cromble, specifying infamouse proposals to
Bells wife, a 1d slanderous conversation and
writing concerning her. These charges are
understood to have been sustained by the
evidence of Mrs. Bell, and by the evidence of
an army chaplain that Reno had cast decided

army circles here is general that Reno will be
found guilty, and his dismissal from the

A Bisnn Story.

About three months previous to my
arrival at Fort Union, says q prairie
hunter, and in the height of the buffalo
breeding season, when the bulls are
sometimes very fierce, Joe was taking
the Fort Union bull with cart into o
point on the river above the fort, in Or
der to draw home load of wood which
had been previously cut and piled ready
for transportation the day before, when
very large old tison bull stood right
In the cart track, paving up the earth,
and roaring ready to dispute the passage
with him. On a nearer approach, in-
stead of flying at the sight of the man
that accompanied the cart, the bison
made headlong charge. Joe had
hardly time to remove his bulls head
stall, and escape up tree, being utter
ly unable to assist his four footed friend,
whom he left to his own resources.
Bison and bull, now in mortal combat,
met midway with shock that made the
earth tremble. Our previously docile
gentle animal suddenly became trans
formed into furious beast, springing
from side to side, whirlng round as the
buffalo attempted to take him in flank, al
ternately upsetting and righting the cart
again, which he banged from side to
side and whirled about as If it had been
q bandbox. Joe, safe out of harms
way, looked from the tree at his cham
pion's proceedings, at first deploring
the apparent disadvantage he labored
under, from being harnessed to cart;
but when the fight had lasted long and
furious, and it was evident that both
combatants had determined that one or
the other of them must fall, his eyes
were open to the value of the protection
afforded by the harness, especially by
the thick, strCng shafts of the cart
against the short horns of the bison,
who, although he bore him over and
over again down on his launches, could
not wound him severely. On the other
hand, the long, sharp horus of the
brave Fort Union bull began to tell on
the furrowed side Of his antagonist, TILL
til the final charge brought the bison,
with furious bound, dead under our
hero's feet, whose long fine drawn horn
was driven deep into his adyersary's
heart. With cheer that made the
whole woods ring again, down Chamber
ed Joe, and while trinmphantly caress-
ing, also carefully examined his chival-
rous companion, who, although bruised
and blown, and covered with foam, had
escaped uniDjured.
