Rktrmish with Indians

CHErENNE, February ia Red
Cloud agency special to the Cheyenne
Sun says: Red Sack, an Indian ru.ner
from Crszy-Horse's village, brings par.
ticulsrs Of fight which occurred near
there about January Sd. This runner
has been closely questioned by different
parties, but adheres strictly to the toll
lowing. which he told % Gen. Crook and
others: About month ago the main
body of hostiles, consisting sf 800
lodges, was camped on the Tongue river
near the mouth of Hanging Women's
creek. A small band afCheyennes wer0
encsmped little further down, and
about January Sd they discovered some
$50 infantry advancing from the direc-
ton Of the Yellowstone. A skirmish
ensued, and the Indians retrested to the
main village. The small squad of saw
ages gave an alarm and large force
of Crazy -Herse's warriors advanced
eighteen miles down the Tongue River
70 meet the soldiers. A few Indians
were thrown forward as decoy, while
the remainder srrsyed themselves along
the canyon to ambush the sdvanc-
ing troops. According 10 Red Sack,
however, the Indian skirmishers
were not followed, and after a desaltory
fire of three or four hours the military
returned northwsrd by the same route
it had advanced.

stitution, so the subsequent repeal of the
act Of 1870 would not revive
the act of 1868. The act OF 1868
is lost entirely unless it is con-
tinued 10 force by revision. If the re-
yised statutes continued in force, then
! the provisions of the act OF 1870 did
contain provisions in regard to the elect
ors; the act OF 1872 did not, except to
| fix the date, which was wholly un-
necessary, Congress having deter
mined that. Now, then, l MAINTAIN
and here cross the path OF
some other cJunsel far more dis
tinguished, that the electors are not State
officers, they are therefore not excluded
in these general provisions OF this act of
1872. Another point in this regard
as entirely. conclusive. iniregard s.to the
action of this Returning Board in ex.
GLIDING voters, when the Constitution OF
the United States says that the
electors shall be appointed in such man
ner as the Legislature OF the
State may direct. ltspesks of course,
of an American State. State of this
Union with a republican form Of
government. Congress could to-mor-
row take up the Constitution of Mssss-
chusetts and inspect it, and finding that
it was not republican could reorgsnize
that State, and when the Constitution
says the State in such manner rs It's legal
Legislature shall prescribe shall appoint
electors, it refers of course to that form
OF government which its Legislature has
restricted by its own Constitution. 1t
does not mean some HOttentot commu-
nifty. 1t means one of our States. So /
maintain that if the manner prescribed
by the State of Louisiana for appointing
electors is in violation CT the Constitution
of Louisiana, then it is not in compliance
with the Constitution OF the United
States, claim that if | can show that
the election law is clearly in violation of
the Constitution OF Louisisn a, it is equal.
ly in violation of the Constitution OF the
United States. | am now proceeding TO
treat OF 1872, as inough it applied to the
election of electors. This act creates the
Canvassing Board to be appointed by
the Senate, and so far as any body
knows they held their offices
uurinS lbeiT hdsuIaI HNeS. as 'hCanS!es
occur they have right to fill them.
They are a close corporation, and rs
mucH more potent than the people OF
that State-if this law is constitutional
as the government of the United States
is more potent than the government of
that State. Mr.. Carpenter then recited
the provisions OF the act, and enumer-
ated the duties devolving upon the
Board of Canvassers.
At this point Mr.. Carpenter complain
ed OF feeling unwell, from the close at
mssphere OF the court, wbicn had some
time previously been rendered very dis
agreeable by .he smoke of candles, with
which alone it was lighted, and the Com
mission thereupon shortly before
o'clock adjourned till tomorrow At IL
o'clock.

law be competent and perfect IN such con-
siderstion."
Yet the Commission in the Florids
case disregarded its duties and sbdicsted
its powers. This action Of the Commis.
sion is convincing proof that the par
tizan majority were afraid to scrutinize
too far, as the result would have been
what the Democrats announced as the
fact, that the certificates of the HAYES
electors did not carry the truth with
them, but we're frsudulently obtained.
Having in one instance by a
strict party vote disregarded the
plain language of the law
and having sbdicsted the powers con-
ferred upon them BY the act, it is res
sonable to suppose, they will do so again
In which event the only remedy lett the
Democrats will be to carry the case to
the Supreme Court of the United States.
AS the court is at present constituted
and with the evidence that the Judges
are as tslllble as other men, there seems
to be but little use in pursuing that
course. There is one hope and it is the
most reliable of all, and that is, this un-
fair, partizan action of the majority
of the Commission will arouse
a storm of indignation among the people
which will sweep like whirlwind over
the land, and: by its fury cause even the
supreme bench to bend to its force.

laid aside the unfinished business, the
bills TO amend the Pacific Rail
road Acts, and took up the
resolution submitted yesterday
providing for the issue OF an attachment
for the arrest of Conrad n. Jourdan,
cashier of the Third National Bank OF
New York, who failed to appear and
testify as to the account IN that bank OF

with the understanding that the melton
to take up again shall be made as soon
rs the resolution tor the arrest OF Jour
dan shall be disposed of.
Mr. Mitchell referred to the testimony
IN the case OF the Oregon electors, and
argued that Sl5,380 was placed 10 the
| credit of the Democratic leaders in Ore.
| gon 10 be used in connection with the
controversy going on between Watts,
Republican elector, and Cronin Demo-
cratic elector. The money put up in
Oregon came directly from the head of
/ the great Democratic party in New
York. Samuel j. Tilden was one of
the directors of the Third National Bank
| of New York and the testimony would
show that this whole conspiracy in regard
to the electoral vote of Oregon originated
in the very headquarters OF the Demo-
cratic party in New York city.
Hr. Herman argued that the witness
Jordan had been subpenaed st the in
stance OF an Individual member of the
committee and not by the committee. The
gentleman presenting this resolution to
the Senate MITCHELL deemed 1t proper
to 90 into discussion rs 10 what the
testimony showed before the proof was
all in and had it not been for that he
Herman would not have referred to the
matter Mr.. Herman then quoted
from the testimony and said when it Was
discovered that Watts was Ineligible
it was thought that suits would be in
stituted to compel Governor Grover to
give him certificate, and funds were
raised 10 defend those suits. Ii was sug-
ge:ted that the National Democratic
Committee should bear the expense, and
telegrams were sent to New York for
thst purpose. There never was n sug-
geston that money should b. used for
improper purposes in Oregon; the money
sent there from New York was returned
he mad no idea that Inc bank account
Of Mr.. TIlden would show that any money
had been used improperly, and he
was willing TO throw open the
doors TO see If corruption
existed.
After some further discussion the res
olution, as submitted yesterday by Mr..
Mitchell for the arrest 0: Jordan WAS
agreed to without division.

mon were appointed members Of the
