Benton with great dignity, II

The speaker alluded to the num-

sonal "reminiscences OF Thomas H,
Benton. The speaker said that
when Benton was first nominated
for the Senate the opposition to
him was very bitter. One oppo-
nent. Philip Dubuque had said that
b wOnld lose his life armed rather
than vote for Benton, and it rcquir-
ed the strongest efforts Of the
French families TO moderate their
views. The convention was held
at the old Missouri Hotel on Main
street. In one Of the rooms o
delegate lay dying, and four stout
negroes were placed at each corner
Of The bed, and he was carried to
tho convention, where he cast bis
vote for Benton and died. !.

Of his seat about twenty.two

THE FIGHT WIN THE NEz PERCES

CONCLUSION or GENERAL TERRYs DfsPATCH-RE-
PORTED CAPTUrE AND RELEASE OF JOSEPH
CHICAGO Oct. 9.-The concluding portion OF the
report Of Colonel Miles of the engagement with
Josephs band, the first of which was sent on Sun
day night has just been received. the wires having
been repaired 1t is as follows:
To keep the companies with him another escort
was provided. Tins last escort will now be used to
convey a train OF wagons which will leave IN the
morning for Snake Creek with supplies. | have
assumed the responsibility of notifying Colonel
Mel cod, the Commissioner of the Canadian police, of
the situation and of inviting his attention 10 the
importance of preventing Sitting Bull and his fol-
lowers from crossing the line.
A. IL. TERRY, Brgadier.
The TriJunes special dispatch from Fort Benton,
Montana dated October 8, says the scout who
brought the report of the late tight between Josephs
band and the United States troops, states that Jo-
seph was prisoner IN Aliles's hands, but was ex-
changed for Lieutenant jerome, of the I'd Cavalry,
who had been captured by the Indians. The story
needs confirmation.
