Ul(~Nqln. During the evening some OF
them gathered about the camp-llrcs OF
the soldiers and scouts, but conycrsed
very little. Nearly every Indian was
found to be armed with Winchester
rifle, and four were found having in their
possession
LoNG-RANGE CREEDNOR GUNS.
There was little about the dress OF any
members of the tribes which would class
them with any OF the prairie Indians.
They wore neither paint nor feathers,
and there was lack of brass-work about
their hair and necks. The women are
better looking than ordinary squaws, and
carry more extensive wardrobe. A
squad was placed over the works occupied
by the Indians during the night, bat no
one ventured inside the defense. On the
morning following the surrender, Gen.
Miles, accompanied by zen. Howard,
visited the riiie.pits and saw the wound
ed, who were being cared for by the
squaws, Some of the Indians were
HORRIBLY WOUNDED,
showing that the shells thrown into
their works had done terrific work in
some instances. Gen. Miles had litters
prepared and lowered into the pits, upon
which the wounded Indians were con.
veyed to the field hospital, where the
surgeons extracted the bullets and cared
for them in the best manner possible.
No trace was found OF the Indians killed
in the fight, but Joseph admitted the
death of twentysseven, and it is proba.
bic that the number is in excess of this.

Fraudulent Sale Of Stamps by Post
masters.
New York Herald.

Ever since the new mode of COM
pensating pos tmasters of tho fourth
class by commission on the amount
of sales of stamps, stamped envelopes
and postal cards was adopted, it has
been source of endless trouble to
the Post Office Department, and has
made work for every special agent
who could be spared to look after
the frauds which the system makes
easy Of preparation. Hundreds of
postmasters have been removed, and
to make their punishment greater,
their names have been furnished to
the press for publication; and yet so
strong is the temptation that all the
efforts OF the department have proved
unequal to the suppression of the
illegal traffic, and there seems but
one mode to put stop to it, and
that is by the repeal of the law and q
return Of the old plan OF adjusting
salaries on the basis of the stamps,
&C., actually cancelled in the respec-
tive offices. AS an illustration Of the
manner in which the present law
operates the following fact will be
sufficient: A special agent, who has
been engaged in the Southwest for
some time past, sends to the depart
ment an affidavit made by merchant
who is engaged in regular business
in that vicinity, in which he states
that he has received very large
amounts of postage stamps of the
denomination of one cent, two cents,
three cents, six cents, and ten cents,
from parties whose names are given
with the Suns received from each.
There are some eight pr ten names
given, with the amounts received,
and date, etc. One firm alone, q
member of which is Il postmaster,
has paid him $3.50 in stamps, in
sums ranging from $500 to 200 at i
payment. In every case where
stamps have been thus used, the
party Ia either postmaster or 4
member of firm in which there is a
postmaster. In some cases q discount
was made by the party disposlng of
them of from five to seven per cent.
The value of tie stamps thus received
by this merchant is over s., 600, on
which the Government is unlawfully
made to pay, in increased salaries, a
commission Of from $1,000 to ~ 500,
which goes into the pockets OF these
dishonest postmasters.

The color.line is already giving
away in Louisiana. A municipal
election was held in Vermillion last
week, and the whites broke into two
parties, one of which put up ticket
composed entirely of Whites and the
other one of whites and blacks. The
white voters were almost evenly d.
vided, and the ELECTION was decided
by the negroes, majority of whom
voted for the white against the mix
ed ticket. The whites largely pre-
dominate in point Of numbers in the
parish,-having cast 900 votes for
Tilden to 277 for Hayes. The blacks
held the balance of power, bnt did
not use it to secure the election of
men Of their own color.

SENATOR MORTON has delivered
himself with regard to the Presi-
dents policy, IN response to an open
letter, addressed to him, and publish
ed in the New York Times, by GER
tain Southern Republicans. His
answer does not entirely satisfy
either the friends or the opponents
of the policy, though the latter, hav-
ing built great hopes upon the pre-
sumption that Senator Morton would
lend them his powerful aid and coun-
tenance in their insane and reckless
onslaught upon the President, are
the more dlsgruntled. He regards
the Republican governments of
Louisiana and South Carolina, az
having yielded to brute force, but
fully agrees that Packard and Cham
berlain could not have sustained
themselves. lie ACCOUNTS President
Hayes of all blame for the result, de-
claring that he could not do other
wise than he did. He says that the
President "but accepted the situa-
ton as il was bequeathed to him on
the 4th of March" intimating that if
blame attached anywhere tor the eK-
tinguishment of the Republican gov
ernments in those States, it belongs
to Gen. Grant, for not promptly rec
ognizing Packard and Chamberlain
in January. Further, Senator Nor
ton makes this significant DECLARE
ton: "While, in my judgment, it
was clearly the right of the Presi-
dent under the Constitution, to rec.
ognize the Packard government and
support it by military power, the I'M
dertaking would have been futile
and the failure disastrous. With a
divided public opinion in his own
party and both Houses of Congress
against him, he would h9ye failed in
the end" This is as much as the
friends of the policy could reasona-
bly, have expected Senator Morton to
say in support OF it, considering the
extreme position he has always &C.
cupied. 1t is an assurance; at least,
that he will not factiously oppose it,
and this certainty, as before intimat-
ed, is causing good deal of disap-
pointment and discomfort among the
implacables.

THE anti-policy papers of Iowa are
seeking to hold over the heads of
those Republicans who uphold the
policy tbs name of Jas. F. Wilson,
as sort Of spell to conjure them in
to silence and submission to the lead
ershlp Of the little implacable ring
centering around the State capital.
We notice that Mr.. Wilson has been
induced to write q letter in defense
OF that palpable combination of gush
and impertinence, the addenda to
the call for the Republican State
Convention. To do this, Mr.. Will
son arranges the language of the lat
this time) uncalled for addenda into
a political concession of faith, and,
by this means, trumphantly proposes
to "test the Republicanism of those
who accept it, All this smacks of
something very much like dema-
gogueism. Mr.. Wilson very we'll
knows that the objection to the USE
less stump speech attached to the
call is not to its mere phrasing, but
to the evident intent and purpose
concealed in it. He does, or does not
know that that purpose, no matter
what its surface Interpretation may
be, was to open the way to array the
Republican party Of Iowa against
the President, and to take open issue
with him on his Southern policy. If
Mr.. Wilson does not see this pur-
pose, he is man Of less dlscernment
than we had supposed. If he does
see it and yet approves of it, it is not
necessary to go into any extended
argument to demonstrate that his
opinion should be matter of very
little Importance to fair minded Re
puhlipaHs.

The "stalwart" Fighters.

The Keokuk Gate City has time
ly word to say of the class of politi-
clans who are held up for admira-
ton by their followers on account of
their aggressive qualities; their
"pluck," their "stiff:backed" and
"strong-kneed" characteristics, ire
spective of the cause in which this
quality OF aggresslveness is display
ed, SO long as it bears the label of
"our party" Packard was one of
these "stalwart" fellows, who had a
procliyity for making splendid
fights tor partisan advantage, but
no "pluck" in the reformation of
abuses. OF him, the Gate city
says:
He was one of your splendid
fight" fellows. He was honest; that
is to say he wouldn't steal. He had
pluck and force, and what "splen-
did fight for the party" he would and
did make. 1t compelled the admira-
ton of all of us nearly. He was of
the kind that are much boosted of as
stiff-backed and strengthened Repub-
licans. His letter to the n. Y. IEi6-
une shows us just how to estimate
this stiffbacked and strong-kneed
sort of politics. Its rule and spirit
briefly are: "Our party must win;
honestly if we can, if not we must
win!" Packard couldn't control
Hayes, so he gives Hayes notice in
the Tribune that he can prove that
Packard, Wells q Co., gave him
Louisiana by fraud! And this is the
kind of splendid fight" "stif:back-
cd" and strengthened" Republicans
ism which the anti-Hayes organs are
denouncing the President and the
supporters of his policy for not boil
STEERING up and supporting! Pack
ardlsm in Republicanlsm is not a
whit better than Tweedism in De-
mocracy. We trust we have had our
last touch Of admiration for these
splendid fighters" in politics who
conduct it as game wherein con-
science is amused by sentiment, while
fraud is the employed, ready assis-
tant for tho real work that is to be
done.

DURING a trip last week to Chicq-

DURING trip last week to Chicq-
90 and return, we took some pains
to ascertain, so far as was possible
by conversation with all classes of
people with whom we came in con-
tact, the drift of public sentiment re-
garding the Southern policy of Pres
ident Hayes. We were impressed
with two facts, made apparent in this
search for information. The first
was, the general disinclination
among the people-tarmers, business
men and others-not engaged in it,
as pursuit, to give politics promi-
nent place in general conversation.
The people appear to be satisfied
with the political situation as it is,
or at least, are not excited or appre-
hensive aboutit. Business, pleasure,
the crops, the eastern war, SC, fur
nish the material for communication
in promiscuous circles, to the exclu-
sion of the exciting topics Of a few
months ago. People are glad to ig.
more warning political theories and
policies, and to attend closely to
their material interests. This is as
true of Republicans as of those Of
opposite views, and is of itself signi-
ficant in view of the efforts being
made by the implacable press to
make it appear that the mass of the
Republican party are profoundly ag-
itated and indignant over the Presi-
dents new departure. The other
fact, which struck us, is more directly
to the point, and that was, that of the
Republicans with whom we oonvers-
ed, three out of four either warmly
endorsed the policy, or held hope
full attitude toward it. Very few are
bitterly antagonstic toward the
Southern experiment, and while
many still regard it as an expert
mcnt they express their unwilling
ness to approve of anything caculat-
ed to embarrass it. We found hard
ly Republican ready to make an
issue with the President on this
point, nor do we need any assurance
that the papers now making warupon
him and his policy with avehemence
and vindictiveness alike unjust and
unwise, represent but small portion
of the thoughtful, deliberate Repub-
lican sentiment of Iowa, and If not
Iowa, surely Of no other State.
