THE FILIBUSTERS.
FIELD THE BRAINS OF THE CROWD.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l


WASHINGTON, March 1.-The leaders of the fill
clustering faction have the air of cOnsprators en-
gagged in desperate and lawless undertaking.
They are pale and hagCard and do not appear to
have slept well of nights. They rarely remain
long in their seats, but move about in a restless
manner keeping up each others courage with elated
talk emphasized by frantic gestures. Most of them
appear to be drinking men, and the thrcateningS
which they continually breathe forth are strongly
Favored with whisky. The only cOol-headed person
among them is David Dudley Field. He lays the
plots prepares the schemes and motions for delay,
and m,tigate5 tie frantic men who create the dis
turbance. Ne is the moving spirit of the whole
mischief. From his seat in the back part Of the
hall, a little out of the whirlpool of passion and
noise, he surveys the with crafty and self
satisfied smile. His lack of knowledge Of paria-
mcntary law makes him a bad leader, but the reyO-
lutonists have no better one.
The most active of the Senate filbuSters
MeSsTs. Wallace of Pennsylvania, Kelly of Oregon,
Barnum of Connecticut, and Merrimon of North
Carolina. These gentlemen have been eager at all
times to sign anything in the way of objections to
obstlct the progress of the count. They have been
powerless in their own body, but they do what mis-
chief they can by encouraging their friends in the
House TO keep up the fight.
Tie flibustcrs are furious against Mr. Randall for
what they call ms treachery. One of them said Ia a
knot of sympathzing members to-day, shaking his
finger at the Speaker:
Wonder is the rst traitor in our midst and the first de-
sertcr from ranks In all the caucu>es man
in favor of delay than lie. Nor than that, when. IN
his five days ago. doubts suggested to the
probability success the effort buster the count
unit, he / III of March. Randall replied tha' he hoped
Lc might be cternay id If he did not, in there
was not nerve enough the floor 10 rule that Hayes
should never get INTO office by count by this House"
Now you has he has been doing Tor the past Two
days WHY, he will not give us our ordinary par
hdncntary rights.
Another member who sat close by remarked: Il
am good friend of SAM, but this is id bad field
day for him." alludng to Mr.. Randalps chances for
the next SpcakcrShip. John Young Brown and
Benjamin Hill came in for bitter denuncaion in the
talk of the hlibusterng faction. One of them said
:" Hill got his Instructions by telegraph to-day.
They were in these words Georgia prefers war and
anarchy to fraud aud villainy.p Another member
said " Had the Democratic party stood firm tor
hour, we could have eXtorted from the Senate the
passage of Fields bill for a election and then
with Hendricks at the head of the ticket and some-
body else than New-York Democrat at the tail, we
would have swept the country.

fine mare shot and killed in the fight. His
opinion is that a large number Of Indians
were killed, and many more wounded. He
says that the regulars and volunteers be-
haved gallantly In the fight and are entitled
to great praise. Mr. Ford speaks highly of
Gen Howard. He says that at the battle
at the mouth Of the Cottonwood Gen. How
ard dismomted his men, and then IN person
led them over precipices and rocks and at
tackled the Indians in the rife pits. The
men who have fought under Gen. Howard
are satisfied of his braveness and fitness for
command.

Too SLow.-In letter dated july Ilth.
Mr. Leland, Of Lewiston, says: The en-
emy's operations have been about 10 or 100
miles IN the rear Of Gen. Howard. The
movements and maneuvering OF the latter
are entirely too slow, and Joseph is smart
enough 10 take advantage of them and flank
HIM all the time. "
Such is the opinion here; there are, now
ever, men in the community who on all occa-
sions toot their horn in praise of the militia
~. While we are not disposed to under
rate their services, and in fact deplore that
they must undergo the hardships of the field,
1t Is nevertheless tiresome to listen to such
men praisjng the military movements In the
face of actual defeat. We maintain that it
is right TO encourage them, and even to wink
at some OF their minor mistakes, yet there
Is such a thing as OVERRIDING ii, and men
engaged in distributing such mwaranted
praise, not only make themselves RIDICULOUS,
but also humiliate the officers and men of
the command, who scorn undeserved praise
And now comes the news that chief Joseph
outgeneraled Howard again, by pretending
TO negotiate peace, when really he only
wanted his warriors to escape, and they did
escape. This, Of course, is not strange, and
Is easily explained Listen.
