At the lEOIyIusla,

The election of State Senator is ct
present the absorbing topic in Demo
cratic circles, and the chances Of the
respective candidates are being can
vassed by their friends with much ar
dor. Not alone In this city does
anxiety over this matter ex ist, but also
in Washington. Last night quite q
number of kilograms were received
from the capital stating that the Lou
isiana caucus was being watched with
earnesthess there, and that Hayes him
self was an eager spectator. Dispatches
suggesting to some of our prominent
men the names of available candidates
produced no change In the status OF the
contestants here.

Good Words for cheyenne.

The Denver News says: "Of late
years Cheyenne has improved wonder
fully, and from being one of the most
unsightly places on the Union Pacific,
it has become a creditable city, bustling
with trade and ornamented by a large
number of fine buildings. The large
number of persons en- route to the
Black Hills thus early in the season has
added largely to Cheyenne's population,
and also to the general liveliness and
trade Of the place. Outfits in camp and
on the move give the vicinity that rest
less aspect peculiar to western points
on the highways of progress. Taken
all in all, the Magic City is pleasant
to look upon, and is a creditable show
ing for the pluck and enterprise of her
leading citizens and her local press"

Everybody Was Tired"

Dawson, the Denver Tribune man
who came up here with the Colorado
Solons last Sunday, in his account of
the affair, says:
"At a quarter past three, the march
homeward was begun, and at a quarter
past eight the train drew up ut the
Union depot. 1t may be stated that
there was not so much hilarity aboard
rs there had been on the up trip. Every
body was tired"
Dawson is right. Thirteen kegs of
beer, one barrel Of a Denver grocer's
sl.5o whisky, and 100 barrels of Chey-
enne Bourbon, 1.-THE amount of liquor ac-
tually consumed by the party while
here) certainly ought to cause consider
able WEAKNESS among any modern body
of lawmakers, and especially those of
Colorado, who duringtheir long sojourn
in Denver have been accustomed to us
ing the weakest of Platte river water,
and filtered at that. Dawson is right.

G. Washout Jones and His Horse.

"Here, you darned loafer. why don't
you give me a send-off on that new
horse l bought the other day." was
what G. Washout Jones said to a
LEADER reporter yesterday, "An
right" replied the reporter, "I'l give
you 4 send-off," and here it is.
Jones has bought another horse.
Jones is an operator in the Western
Union Office, and his front name is G..
Washout. Jones is to be married soon
to a red-haired girl with black eyes.
The horses name is Brunswick, and
he hasn't any front name. Jones isn't
a helpless orphan in a foreign land, but
Senator Jones, of Nevada, is not his
father. In fact, the Senator is no
relation to G. Washout, and it is also a
melancholy fact that there are one or
two other parties by the name of Jones,
living in different portions of this coun-
try, who are not related to G. Wash
out. This is what makes the boy SO
lonesome, and is why his moustache
has such a melancholy droop. Bruins
wick is a he-male horse, Or words to
that effect. Jones likes horses, but he
hasn't been the same boy since he lost
that sorrel mare last summer. Bruins
wick is said to have cost all the way
from $500 to $500, 80 when we offered
G.. Washout so cents for Brunswick Tor
his hide), he refused us with tears in
his eyes.
P. S.--Another "send-off ~ like this
will cost Jones 10 cents per line.

THAT connlss,on.
Who Is the fifteenth Man ?

We have been much surprised at the
vote Of the commission of fifteen in
the Florida and Louisiana case. We
had not been prepared by the Demo-
cratic press for the sharp division of
eight to seven. We had supposed from
all we heard that the members of the
commission would lay aside all partisan
feeling, and disregard party lines. We
were made to believe from what the
ardent Democratic supporters of the
electoral bill" told us, hat this COM
mission was to be composed ofmen, who
like our jurors had not formed or
expressed an opinion on anything;
men who had either never heard of
the Presidential election, or had no
opinion on it, who wouldn't know the
difference between the map of Florida
and Ogden Freeman's celebrated map
of the Black Hills. But we did sup
pose that these men, living in WASH
ington, and as it were in the bosom of
the government, would know mi
thing about the constitution of the
United States, and have some faint
notion of the rights of the states.
Great is our surprise, therefore, and
great must be the chagrin of all fair
minded Democrats, to see seven of
these men, who are described as
Democrats, acting just as much like
M ~ ica no 90 thap did hafAra thnu ,rara
put on the commission. We had a
right to suppose AEat they would look
at the case in a broad, liberal, patrio ic
and compromising way, that they would
regard themselves as a part of an i'm
partial jury, and not as advocates of a
particular side. But none of them
listen to reason. none of them take any
view of any point raised except such as
they think will help the cause of Mr.
Tilden, the contestant. The Demo-
cratic press ought to explain to the coun-
try how this happens, and how it is
that seven men stand out in a solid
lump of partisan prejudice
There is another feature of the com
mission worthy of different comment
from what 1t has received. Who is the
fifteenth man who has given the cast
ing vote? Can we rightfully say that
it is any N of the eight? We notice
Il general disposition to credit Judge
Bradley with this honor, but we are
unable to see, as Col. Murrin says, ION
what grounds" There is no statement
that he voted last. The country has a
very high opinion of his learning, his
ability, his political habit of mind.
Probably no one in the commission is
less a partisan or would be more likely
to decide a question upon Its legal
merits. But he is u modest and retir-
ing man, and we do not think he would
arrogate to himself any such distinc-
ton as the decision of the Presidential
question. There is not the slightest
cause for considering Judge Bradley any
more than any other of the eight, as
the fifteenth man. We will not say we
have no suspicion who it is and who
will have the final credit of it. There
is n man who has the courage of his
opinions under all circumstances, who
never hesitates to avow them, and rather
courts than shirks the consequences.
We think it will be found, if it is ever
discovered, that the fifteenth man is
Oliver P. Morton.

The Sioux Chiefs Whom the Crows Killed.

The names of the Sioux chiefs killed
near the post at Tongue river by the
Crows, while coming in under a flag of
truce, are as follows: Sitting Bull, of
the Ogalallas, who received the present
of the Winchester rifle from President
Grant; Bull Eagle, who recently made
a treaty with Gen. Miles, and agreed
to retire to his agency; Sack-of-Rice, a
war chief Yellow Robe; the name of
the other unknown. These chiefs were
identified by a Sioux squaw at the post,
except the last mentioned, whom she
did not see. One of the Crow scouts
got the Winchester rifle. After killing
the chiefs the Crows got alarmed and
ran off, excepting twelve, who were
caught and disarmed. The act was
perpetrated in the daytime, infull view
of the men at the post. The Mon
tanians, who know the treacherous
character of the Sioux, cheered the
Crows; the eastern people present were
Mortified.
Que of the chiefs was riding q horse
stolen from the post two nights before;
another was riding a pony taken from
a Crow squaw who was killed by the
Sioux some time ago, at Pompey's Pill
lar. About twenty-five Sioux with fifty
ponies with pack saddles on, were COM
ing toward the post, in the rear of the
chiefs, who, on seeing the latter killed,
ran away, leaving their pack animals.
Most of them proved to have been sto-
len from the Crows and citizens.
