CUSTER HEARD FROM.
A Purpohed Message From the Dead Hero as
Given by Spirit Medium.

\ spiritualistic journal Of recent date
contains the subjoined 'spirit message"
from Gen. Custer:
passed out, as you call it. from Your
earth by tne hand of the Indian. On
entering spirit life-or when life was
extinct and spirit life begun-I found
myself still surrounded by hostile bands
of Indians; there were Indians on the
right side, Indians on the left side, In
dians above me, Indians below me.
Though my head escaped the scalping
knife, yet my life was taken by the In
dian warriors.
You would expect me, perhaps, from
the ideas | expressed while dwelt in
the form, to speak harshly of the Indi-
an; but since have come to spirit life
| have learned lesson that none can
ever take from me; that was mistaken
in regard to the red mans character;
that the selfishness and barbarlty of
the white man has made him what he
is; that the Indian has been outrageous
ly wronged.
! l have been first and foremost in the
field of battle, working with will to
crush ont the red man; and by his hand
| was carried down into the valley of
! the shadow of death. AS | stood there
surrounded by the Indians, not fully
realizing whether | was in mortal or Il
spirit. suddenly desire came over me
that / wanted to be away from the
scene, away from the hordes of Indians
that encompassed me on all sides.
While thinking of delivermce, II spirit
drew near and took me by the hand:
and when | said, ~ have wronged my
red brothers. and | am sorry for it,
the red warriors who surrounded me in
spirit-life opened ranks, and | passed
through their midst unlarmed. now
return to send Il warning 10 our people
and nation, and urge them to deal just
ly by the Indians, or they will do more
mischief to the whites The warriors
in spirit-life are inspiring their brethren
to resist and avenge the wrongs perpe-
trated on their race. Let me say to the
Government officials, that the recent
visit to Washington of the red chiefs
has enabled them to leave there an in
huence that will work against the peo-
pie if they do not keep faith with the
Indian. Then be true to the letter of
all agreements; care not so much for
those paltry acres of wild land, but
strive to give homes, peace and con-
tentment to the red man. ! would
plead with you my couLtrymen, my
brother officers, my friends, to be lem
lent, and endeavor to bring peace and
good influence to bear upon the red
man, that he may become civilized like
his white brother. Do not seek to an
initiate them, but try and make them
better if possible.
once thought it no more harm to
kill a savage than it was to kill wild
deer, tiger or a leopard! But i tell
you, friends, they are human beings
and have souls.
The Sioux Indians have been under
the control of the Roman Catholic
church, and the Jesuit rites were dear
to them, and whoever proved himself a
Jesuit was saved. was not scalped,
though the knife was on my head; the
color of my hair saved me from that
barbarity. Golden hair is held sacred
by the Sioux CUSTER.

DAKOTA.
The Governor After the Press.

Yankton, Nov. 22.-The grand jury
returned two indictments to-day
against Grigsby 4 Smith, publishers of
the Sioux Falls Pantagraph, and one
against Taylor Brothers, of the Dakota
Herald, for alleged libelous publica-
tions charging the Governor of the
Territory with dishonest speculation in
Territorial warrants. Gov. Penning-
ton went before the grand jury and
asked these indictments, that he might
confront his accusers in open court.
He pronounces the publications false.

The publication in Washington yes
terday of the facts proves that what
ever delay there was in the ratification
of the treaties under Sumner, it was not
due, to any neglect OF Summer or the
committee over which he presided, but
that Of the Senate itself, and that Fish
in blaming Summer for these delays has
nnwittingly done great injustice to tho
memory of one whose practice it was
not to allow the business of his commit
tee to accumulate unacted upon.

Struggle for supremacy in the Senate.


Washington, Nov. 22.-Political eX-
citement ran extremely high at the
Capitol to-day, and especially in the
Senate chamber, which was the scene
of an intensely interesting parliamentry
and party struggle, involving almost
conclusively the momentous question
whether the organization and immense
power of the Senate shall in the near
future he controlled by Republicans or
by Democrats. Throughout the strug-
gle the efforts of the Democrats, headed
by Thurman, were exerted to force a
direct vote upon the resolution discharg-
ing the Privilege and Elections. COM
mittee from further consideration of
Buffers credentials; while, on the other
hand, Conkling and Edmunds exhaust
ed every parliamentary resource to
postpose action until the full force of
the Republican Senators could, if posi-
BILE, be rallied to maintain the present
party ascendancy. With this view al
so they put forth their utmost power of
warm sarcasm for the benefit of Como
yer and Patterson, insisting that vote
should be taken on Hoar's motion to
table the pending resolution, in order
that they might ascertain at the earliest
moment who were the Democratic re-
serves or recruits relied upon, accord
ing to whispered reports Of a holy al
a
lance and coalition to transfer the
control of the Senate to the other side
of the chamber. Conover and Patter-
son nevertheless voted with the Demo-
Gratis against tabling the resolution.
Edmunds then ironically compliment
ed the Democrats upon their admirably
arranged contrivance for making votes
in the fastest possible manner. but sug-
gested that, as twas desired to force
action on the cases before they were
considered by the committee. tt would
be better to take the first case first, and
he therefore moved to amend the reso-
luton by inserting Kellogg's name in
place of Buffers.

amendment, but Patterson and Davis,
still adhering to the Democrats, it was
defeated by vote of 81 against 80.
After several other dilatory motions
had been defeated, Edmunds sarcas'
tically remarked that, as he was fully
persuaded that sentiments of justice
animated all the Senators, he would
move a postponenent Of the resolution
until Monday, his object being to give
the committee time to consider the
pending cases and report to the Senate
This was also defeated by one majority
