MUNICIPAL politics are somewhat involved
in st. Louis. The .wo candidates for Mayor
are Republicans, and the remainder Of one of
the tickets is composed Of Democrats. and Of
the other of Democrats and Republicans.
Inc first ticket is supported by one Of the
Demoerotic dailies, and the second by the
other. The election will occur tomorrow
and will place the city completely under the
new charter. That instrument gives wide
power and responsibility to the Mayor, and
provides for an Assembly composed Of two
houses, one of them chosen by general ticket
to represent the whole city, the other chosen
to represent the wards, ample power being
invested in the Assembly and tho executive
of1cers to administer the affairs of large in
dependent municipality, but with their au-
thority to levy and expend taxes and contract
debt vigorously limited. 1t is somewhat of
an experiment in municipal government and
its success remains to be decided.

The decision of the Supreme Court in the
matter OF the Portland Liquor Agency, which
attracted so much attention two years ago,
will be found elsewhere. 1t will be remem-
bered that Judge Knight decided against
the agent. The Democrats made a bitter
fight in the matter and fiercely attacked the
opinion given by Mr.. Reed, the City Solicitor.
1t is gratifying to observe that the Supreme
Court sustalns this opinion entirely. holding
that the prosecution of the agent cannot be
maintained.

San Francisco, July 5.-A press dis
patch from Portland says: The follow
ing new has just been received from
Lewiston. via Walla Walla, under date
of July I'd. A courier Just In from
Kamia says Col. Whipple and his com
mand had an engagement with Look
ing-Glass' band, oil Clearwater, to-day.
Four Indians were killed and left on
the field dead and many others wound
ed. The squaws and children took to
the river and several were drowned.
Fighting was still going on when the

estimated by scouts to number about
400.
At 8 a. III. a courier arrived having
left Gen. Howard's camp on the night
of the 29tlI. The troops had made a
crossing that day and scouts who had
been out IN the hills found stock but
no Indians, Tie latter is believed to
have gone down toward the mouth of
the Grande Ronde. Dispatches were
forwarded to Walla Walla to be tele-
graphed, so as to apprise persons In
Grande Ronde and Wallowa, so that
they may be ON the alert.

The True and Original Story.

4 correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial tells the original story of
Buffers spoons" interest in which
has bean revived by the Generals re-
cent correspondence with "My dear
Pitkin'' end MY dear Mr.. MacVeagli."
1t is as follows: "When General But
Ter thought himself sufficiently secure
in New Orleans, he sent for his wife
to Join him. In looking over the city
for a dwelling her eyes rested upon II
fine residence on the corner of St.
Charles and Julia streets, owned oy II
physician in the Confederate army, and
occupied by his family, consisting of
his wife, her invalid mother and three
or four small children. There were
plenty Of vacant houses in the city, but
they were not SO convenient; besides,
when they were vacated everything
that could be removed had been car
ried away. Butler wanted a thorough
" furnished house, so. he ordered the
lady to vacate, permitting her to take
only the wardrobe of the family. Com
pany II. Of the Twenty-siXth Massachu-
setts Regiment, was Buffers body
guard, and from this company u squad
was detailed to guard the premises
until the arrival of Mrs. Butler. One
of the men, not having the fear of God
or General Butler before his eyes, but
on the contrary having before him the
examples of those in authority, cor
cluded to follow them by appropriating
to himself some silver spoons. 1t was
soon discovered, and the mm1' was
court martialed and sent to the Toltu-
gas for a short term, but IN application
to General Butler was ~pardoned."
