Col. PERRY AcQUIrTED.-Th court of
inquiry appointed to investigate certain
charges preferred against Col. Perry, has
fully exonerated the accnsed from all
blame The following is the text Of the
opinion "The party of citizens attack
ed by Indians on the 5th of July, 1877, =,
near Cottonwood house, idaho territory,
were not and could not be recognized as
white men by Capt Perrys command then

actually commenced. After the character
Of the party was made evident by the
attacA of thu Indians there was 4 delay
on the part of Capt. Perry of about ten
minutes in ordering troops to their relief,
but the court does not consider this DELAY
in determining upon his action, excessive
under the circumstances and, besides,
it Is conclusively established by the testi-
mony that no additional injury resulted
from this delay, as all the casualties oc-
Cured on the first volley. The action
taken by Capt. Perry in sending out three
detaelinents OF troops to their assistance
afforded ample relief to the citizens at

THE REPUBLICAN ELEPBANT-For the
edihcation of hissrepublican friends MIR.
Mast, the caricaturist Of Harpers Weekly,
publishes very striking picture illustrat-
ing the position of their party consequent
upon the result of the late state elections.
The republican elephant is hanging sus-
pended by the tip of his trunk from a
slender twig, Of very uncertain strength,
growing out from a rock, labelled with
the names OF a few republican states, and
overhanging anunfathomable abyss. From
his position, as depicted by Mast, We are
to infer that he has no hope for the ele-
plants salvation. There is no time or
foothold for bridge to be built beneath
INN there can be no ropes let down from
above to save him; and no party, weighed
down with the elephantine load of sin
that the republican organization has to
carry, can ever relieve itself from the per-
ilous position in which the elephant hangs
The ponderous beast, that used to travel
over the country with his boots rolled up
and floating the pennant of immense cleo
ton majorities, is in sad plight. He
travels with the circus no more.

Gains When Hayes restored to Runkle
his forfeited rank, and thus forced con-
victed thief upon the company of honest
officers and gentlemen, he violated decen-
cy; but when he procured the payment of
$1,000 to that convicted thief, he took
money he had no right to take. This
transaction is now before committee of
the senate. 1t is proper matter for in

PAETiES IN CONGRESS-. are ap-
preaching a wholesome equality in the two
branches of the national legislature, and
the dangers that ensuc from large majori-
ties are likely TO be avoided. Since the
admission of Metcalfe, of Missouri, Oh
contest, there are i'll the house OF repre-
scntaiives 29l members, of which i52 are
democrats and $50 republicans, with one
congressional district unrepresented-tEat
of Colorado The democratic majority of
thirteen is sufficient FOR all party purposes,
while it is not sufficiently large to incite
those abuses OF power into which reckless
or evil disposed partizans are prone to
rush when they are sure Of the party snp
port TO any scheme they may By chance
sc. endorsed by a Caucus The senate
now stands, republicans, 50; democrats,
80; independent OR. Davis, of Iliinois)
/, with l vacancy from Louisiana. With
Dir. Sharon, of Nevada, absent, and
counting MIR Davis with the democrats,
with whom he has voted on some ques-
tions, the republicans have but two ma jor-
ity, which will be entirely wiped ont when
the democrats get the member from Lou
isianato whom theyare entitled. The most
satisfactory feature of the present eondi-
ton Of the senate is that there is no direc-
ton toward which the republicans can
turn with q hope of bettering it. What
the democrats have they can hold and
there is a stong probability in the Rear
fnture of important gains to them. 1t Is
no wonder that the administration turns
deaf ear to the solicitations of a COM
mittee who represent so nearly minority
party in both houses of congress.

tn. REPTGLICaI PARTY PARALYZED.
The New York IicJGH has been holding
an inquest upon the republican party ard
prcnoauces it a dead corpus. 1t does not
ytn urc 20 say TIA; the republican party is
d al and that it WAS buried in the same
grave with Senator Morton, but its chances
of life were certainly impaired by the loss
OF that vigorous leader The party strongly
resembles him, both in his infrlnities and
in his Sanguine hope Of recovery when the
hand of death "a visibly upon him. It's
disease is Ike para!ytic shock, which
commonly visits ard diSahles one side be-
fore completing its work on the whole
body The southern half Of the republi-
cali party is in a state of complete. and
hopeless paralysis. There are sixteen of
the thirty y-cight states in which the repub-
lican organization has become extinct.
Although it may be premature as yet to
say that the republican party is dead there
can bc no dispute or question as to its
complete death in sixteen States in the
Union. 1t is ike a man whose whole left
sideis paralyzeland lis right side afflicted
with apparently incurahle wounds Aside
from the wounds how can the paralytic
expect to run political race and win it
Tie author of 'EHudibras" gave his
doughty knight but one-iialf Of PAIR of
spn"s, assigning as a reason that if he
pricked one SIDE OF his horse into gallop
the other could not hang behind. But
the converse OF this grotesaue maxim
would hold equally true, that if one side
Of the steed stood still the other could not
get very far ahead. The same reasoning
applies II paralytie man or a paralytic
party; and that the left or southern side
of the republican party has lost every vital
function is evident to those who VII not
yet admit the death of the party

WHAT Ir CosT We see it stated that
1t cost one hundred thousand dollars to
enable the late government commission,
under Gen. Terry, to interview Sitting
Bull and get snubbed by that saucy say
age, without accomplishing single thing
of benefit to anybody. This is another in
stance of how the republican adminis;ra-
tion is taking care of the peoples money.
What sense was there in spending all that
money to send commission into the Can
adian wilds to ascertain whether Sitting
Bull would not return to his reservation

UsEING MONEY. charge is made
that money was extensively used in New
Jersey to prevent Gen. Mcclellan from
having a very large majority, and thus
prevent such evidence of his popularity as
might make him a formidable candidate
for the presidency in 1880. If money was
used for such a purpose, it failed to ae-
.complish it, as McClcl!an's majority Of
over y 600 shows. For 4 little state like
New Jersey, those are BIZ figures.
