LYNCHBURG, July II, 1877.
MIR. J. Il. BURsON.
My Dear Sir-In reply to your es-
teemed favor, permit me to thank you
for your kind expressions, and to say
that the statements made that voted
for the Funding Bill are utterly false.
The Journal of the House Of Dele
gates, lS70-7l, page SS7, shows my per-
sistent effort against it. My record
speaks my views better than words,
and | staEd upon it.
Please see that the statement is de-
MED and justice done me. thank
you cordially for your kindness and
partiality, and remain,
Your Friend, Truly,
JNO. w. DANIEL.

What says General Malone? hear
him.
The limit Of revenue has b c c n

taxation; and, though there are gen

the State, aud who profess TO desire
to grant all that the Funding 5lll all
lows to the public creditors. there
remains the pregnant and indiSputa-
fact that the resources of the State
are unequal by several hundred thou>
sand dollars to the support of the
Government to the annual demand of
the bondholdcrS, and that the only
method of augmenting the revenues
is to increase the per centage of tax

And he asks who fayors that -

''Not | for one,

The people must decide between

have to say is they have the entire

CURTIS, in Harpers Weekly, thus
warns the administration against tenn
porting upon practical civil service
reform issues: 1t is for the admins
tration to take care that the expecta-
tons of its friends shall be fulfilled
The sincerity of its support comes
from confidence that it means what it
says, and that it has courage Of its
own opinions. IF its friends have
seemed ito lack enthusiasm it is be-
cause it.has Itself seemed to be hest
tating and reluctant, hoping to be
friendly all around That is fatal
delusion. Indefniteness and timidity
will repel friends, but.1hey cannot win
foes. TIE administration in some
ways attempted the same kind of ne
gotiation in Pennsylvania, and the
State is lost by heavy Dem cratic
majority. In Massachusetts the Re-
pubIicans heartily sustained the BRAY
est acts of the administration, and
hold the state more strongly than ev-
,er.

SITTING BULL.

WASHINGTON, Nov .14tE. Colonel
Corbin Of the Sitting Bull Commits.
sion, has returned to Washington,
The rest of tho commission will reach
here on Monday next, when they will
commence preparation for their re-
port. Corbin communicates some in.
teresting facts in connection with Sit
ting Bull Which rave not heretofore
been published. He says the commits
sion had number of private inter
views with Sitting Bull and found
him to be very agreeable in his man
ners and a very intelligent Indian.
When the commission started.on their
return trip Sitting Bull accompanied
them for a number of miles, convers-
ing freely about the business of the
and of the Custer cam
Rpaign. Sitting Bill repudiatcd the
idea that Custer and his men were
massacred, and says it was fair
fight, in which the desperation of Gus
ter and the menunder his command
made it necessary for the Indians to
kill them. Sitting Bull says Custer
charged upon his camp with great inn
petuosity creating a temporary panic
among them, but the Indians soon raj
lied and outnumbering Custer ten to
one, they were enabled to surround
him. He says Custer and his men re
fused to surrender, and fought until
the last man was killed. He express
ed great admiration for Clusters bra
very and that of the men who were
with him and was sorry that his refu
sal to surrender made it necessary to
put him to death. When the Indians
discovered Major Reno, who was com
mandiQg the second division of Gus
ter's forces, they supposed it was the
entire force under command Of Terry
and Immediately made preparations
fer retreat, sending their women and
children forward. When Reno made
his attack the Indians beg an to retreat
and Sitting Bull says had Reno fol
lowed them up-at that time he might
have captured,a larger part of theil
train. Reno, however, discovered the
Indians were in such force, and as
certaining the fate oftCuster fell back
to the place at which he entrenched
himself, and from which he was re

No such information as mentioned
in the above item has ever reached

received it. The editors of that filthy

in order to lay the lie on somebody
elseS shoulders when the people are
correctly Informed in regard 10 the
matter. They do not do as honest
men should do, ascertain whether
their information is reliable, and then
say it is so, but sneak around and, by
perverting the English language and
appearing to say what they do not,
often deceive these who read careless
" their statements. Come out bold.
