did we not consider the men who sent
them as liable to error as civilians.
Perhaps if the Times and some others
of the metropolitan journals would not
make Vch discrimination in favor of
the army, the public east would not be
so badly prejudiced against frontier
settlers, and a better Indian policy
would gain favor in Congress. Some
of the San Francisco press are similarly
influenced as is evinced blythe following
letter.
SAN FRANCISCO Aug 10Th 1877.
Ed. TELLER:-It is noticeable fact
that there has been considerable color
given to dispatches forwarded to the
Press Of this city, in relation to your
Indian war, and by reading the same
one is led to infer that volunteers who
participated in the war at the outbreak
did more harm than good. Now, it is
not easy for one like myself who knows
the people Of your section to believe
that your volunteers were more than
useless as claimed in the official dis.
patches Of Keller. And I see that
THE TELLER places the services of the
volunteers 10 q much more reasonable
position connected with the war.
One point your correspondent desires
to make plain and that is the following
When the Press Of this city, portion
Of it at least, is made acquainted with
any initiating against army officers, or
their management Of this war, such
facts are Suppressed, and reporters for
these papers decline to publish them,
stating as reason that cit will not do
to say anything against the army" and
thus it is readily seen how coloriug is
done to dispatches, and where a citizen
or volunteer gives his testimony con.
Aicting with that Of an army officer,
these journals accept the latter as true.
The readers Of these journals receive
these statements also as the truth, not
knowing that citizens who are on the
ground, entertain views conflicting with
those Of the military. l am ready to
accord to the army and its officers all
that is due to them, but ! do.not think
they can claim to be more truthful and
therefore entitled to more credit by the
Press OF the country than citizens and |
volunteers. Yours truly,
II.

sEpULcHRE OF THE STATE COURTS.

An interesting and important question under the
Of Congress OF 1876, relating TO the removal Of
causes from the State the federal courts was ar
gued yesterday before Judge Lawrence, In Supreme
Court at Chambers. A SUIT was brought by Henry
Shields, assignee resident OF Philadelphia, against
W. stonc resident OF New York. Tho complaint
combined a demand for money judgment ana a
prayer for equitable relief Tho cause OF
action arose out of the foreclosure Of the
FIRST mortgage Of the Mississippi Valley and
Western Railway, Missouri corporation. II appears
that the plaintiffs assgnor the of $7ooo 900
Of tho Grst bonds Of thst Railroad and the defendant
owned or claimed to own $60o,0oo OF bonds OF the
