The Commission Finds Him Suspicious

dents Proposals..
NEW YORK. Oct. pa despatch from Fort
Walsh, Canada, Oct. Is, says Gen. Terry and
the Com mission has arrived there and had an
interview Oct. 18th with Sitting Bull, at which
they informed him that the President wanted
them to return to their agencies, give up their
arms and horses aud live peaceaby upon their
reservations. The horses and arms would be
sold and the money used to buy COWS. The
offer was rejected and the commission was dis
missed abruptly and disdainfully."
Full details of Sitting Bulls answer have not
been received.
Col Walsh had considerable difficulty in get
ting Sitting Bull to come to the Fort to hold a
conference with the commission. While the
negotiations were going Oh, band of 81 meD,
40 women and large number of children
arrived, having escaped from Joseph's band.
At first they were taken for whites coming to
attack the Sioux, but Col. Walsh went out to
meet them, followed by 200 Sioux warriors,
and this act led the Sioux to consider HIM one
of the bravest of white men. After this,
Sitting Bull consented to go to Fort Walsh.
On the evening of the 18th the chiefs met in
council and agreed not to return to America
They said Americans talked sweet words but
failed tU keep their promises. The lands of
Americans were covered with blood, but there
was no blood on the land of the white mother
and they hoped to remain under her protection
and would always be ready to assist her when
called upon.
The commission was escorted by three COM
panies of the Second Cavalry, which came from
Miles's fight with Joseph, aud few infantry.
They were met at the boundary line by Col
Mcleod and squadron of Lancers, and
escorted to Fort Walsh. where they are the
guests OF the British officers.
1t is stated that Geu. Sherman regards the
Indian troubles as suspended for the time, but
thinks they will not be finally ended until the
army is increased sufficiently to enforce obedi-
ence.
ceived by the government to-day fully confirms
the press statement of meeting of the United
States Indian Commissioners aud Sitting Bull
at Fort Walsh. and the contemptuous rejection
BY the Sioux chief of the terms offered.

SURVEYOR GENERAL GARDNER

Elsewhere the reader will find our old friend
Bob Gardeners card There has been great
deal OF noise among the 'reformers' about
Bob. They were going to send him to the
penltentlary, make his bondsmen suffer, and
do all sorts of things. After having been
dealt with after the manner of Jarndyce and
Jarndyce he has had his day in court As to
what the result is, our old friend Julius
Chester makes it known in most excellent
English as follows:
After a protracted season of denunciation
of the late Surveyor General, Robert Gardner,
the case Instituted by Democratic Legisla-
ture against Republican officer, has been
settled IN the courts. From the declaration
long since made in and out of public prints,
and the continued attacks in public and pri-
Vate upon MIR. Gardner it was fair to pre-
sumo that the parties would be able to fasten
the charge OF corruption upon him by the
verdict OF the Court in which the charge was
made. 1t was expected that the Democratic
officials whose duty it was to establish the
truth OF the charges would find it easy to
popularize themselves and the party. Seven
different complaints were made, most of
which were voluntarily abandoned, and at last,
when the pleadings were approved the case
went to trial. The prosecution spent three
days IN showing what money ought to have
come into the hands of the Surveyor General
during his term of office, and then attempted
to show that it had actually been received
ny nm, and was not accounted for to the
State In these attempts they signally failed
1t became apparent from the very evidence
gwen Ill by the prosecution that no such sum
as claimed int bor
particle of proof offered showing that
any monies had been misappropriated. The
counsel for the defense of course asked for a
non suit, which the Court felt compelled to
grant, but stated, that in view of the public |
Importance OF the case, the Court would de- |
cine to grant 1t, and, though the case had |
been closed by the prosecution, the Court |
could only open the case and give the pros
ecution two more days to furnish the neces
Sary proof. The time passed by, the Court
met, and the attorneys for the State an
nounced their inability to establish their case.
The Court granted non suit at once. To an
outsider it would seem very strange that it
could be difficult to frame a complaint for
that Court could act upon it.
Slr. Gardner pressed the matter at every
ERIN OF Court, and we believe never asked for
continuance. He announced himself always
eady to respond to the accusation, and chal-
enged his political opponents to produce
lngle item of proof to substantiate their
harges.
A more complete failure to establish facts
rought out by political bitterness was never
nown, and more complete vindication of |
he accused was never presented in court of r
1st1ce. The Commission established by the 7
tie Legislature has proved itself farce, and !,
ne people of the State will naturally wonder L
by SO much time and expense should have S
cen given to the croaking of envy, and the I
1urts invoked to punish for crimes which Il
ere barren of foundation.

WHAT THE RUSSIANS CAPTURED AT
PLENNA

New York, December 11.-Special advices
from Bucharest put the number of Turkish
prisoners taken at Plevna at 10000 and the
number of guns captured at 400 The ground
which was the scene of the sortie was literally
strewn with thousands of dead and DIVING.
Osman Pasha himself was severely wounded
before ne would consent to surrender His
valor, which is described as desperate, is
everywhere the theme of conversation. The
suherlngs of the Turks in the beleaeured
town were awful. Cold, disease and famine
declmated their ranks and reduced the soldiers
to living skeletons. To aggravate their suf-
terlngs there were no doctors and no medi-
cine could be obtained There has been an i'm
portant rise in all classes of Russian securities
on the London Stock Exchange and they
great frmness notwithstanding
large realizing sales have been thrown upon
the market The general tone of the London
press is to urge the Government to seize the
present opportunity for mediation and while
It yet may not be to late Sofia must be
captured before long, and that accomplished |
40 important obstacle remains to the rapid
ADVANCE of the victorious Russians ON Adrian
,ple.

WoMANs SUFFRAGE IN THE SENATE
Washington, December H. - During the
morning hour of the Senate to-day nearly
fifty Senators rose in succession and pre-
scented petitions for an amendment to the
Constitution which shall prohibit any State
from DISTINGUISHING United States citizens on
account of sex. There were at least 600 of
these petitions. They came from twenty-five
States and four Territories, and the total
number of signatures is said to be about
$4,000, including the names of some of the
most prominent lawyers, judges, authors, d.
vines and scholars it the country A similar
demonstration in favor of woman SUFFRAGE
was made last Winter, and it is the purpose
OF its leading advocates to continue to make
one day of each session of Congress consnic-
uously " Woman's Day." until their PRAYERS
are granted, unless before that time thew
weary in this sort of well-doing.
