The President and the Senate.

Washington, Oct. 24.-It is painfully
apparent that the Presidents nomi-
nations are not received with great
cordiality by the Senate, and there is
growing doubt of the confirmation Of
many of the most important of them.
This is especially the case with those
which have been referred to the judic-
iary committee, whose members are
generally opposed or indifferent to the
President. Every nomination of DEM
ocrats will, it is safe to say, be sent
back to him. The members say in
defense of the refusal to confirm them
that the southern negroes and Repub-
licans have lost every means of defense
and protection except the federal
courts, and they intend to insist that
the officers of these courts shall be men
whose loyalty to the cause of human
freedom cannot be questioned. The
names of number of such bad ap-
pointments in the south are at hand.
Members of the cabinet say the rea-
son the President did not advise with
members of the Senate on appointments
was that the Senators were absent. The
President will be disappointed if some
of his nominations are rejected for
cause.

THE BELLOWlNG BULL.
He Moves Toward His New
Reservation.
HIS Warriors EIated-The Hopes OF
the British acknowledgements
of Further Hostilities.

Fort Walsh, British Possessions, Oct.
20.-To-morrow night Sitting Bulls
force sets out for their old camp on
Wood Mountain, but it is probable that
settlement will be. found for them on
the Souris river, in the Dirt Hills re-
gion. The Indians who hung around
the Fort during the conference are de-
lighted with the way Sitting Bull
talked back" at the commissioners,
and express great confidence in him.
He said not long ago that he would live
quietly on Canadian soil and would
under no consideration violate Cana
dian neutrality, but before he died he
chopped to make the Americans cry"
Col. Mcleod and Maj. Walsh will
hold conference with Sitting Bull and
his head men on the Goth, to consider
their future relations. They look for
ward to these Sioux settling down
quietly with the Sioux who came from
Minnesota in 1862.
The frontier is quiet. The Nez Per-
ces are scattered all over, and are in
clined to rest. Walsh says there will
be no more trouble until the Indians
feel themselves strong enough to begin
another campaign, probably in the
spring. The police regret the failure
of the commission, but are satisfied
that they can make amicable arrange
ments with Sitting Bull.

MORTON'S MALADY.

Reported Improvement IN His Condition.
Indianapolis, Oct. 29.-Drs. Bliss,
Thompson and Woodburn made a
thorough examination of Senator Nor
ton, to-day, and in most respects find
his condition more favorable than at
any time since his return from Oregon.
The most unfavorable symptoms are
failure of appetite and n consequent
steady weakening of the system. Yes.
terday and to-day the Senator has been
drinking very freely of rich milk, and
DR.. Bliss is greatly encouraged. This
will impart strength and be the begin
ming of return of appetite.

WASHINGTON.
The Pettifoggers' Programme

Washington, Oct. 24.-AccoIding to
programme arranged by the Demo-
cratic leaders of the House, this even
ing, the House will adjourn tomorrow
until Monday. This will be done for
the double purpose of affording Speaker
Randall all of Friday and Saturday to
gather information concerning the 50
or 80 new Republican members, with a
view to fittingly assign them to COM
mittee positions, and also to let the
Colorado case 60 over as unfinished
business, in order to thus prevent a
call of states ON Monday for resolu-
tions, which it seems are thought
likely to prove as perplexing and
troublesome to the Democrats as to
their party opponents. All the COM
mittees will be amended on Monday
next. 1t is considered that Atkins, of
Tennessee, will be made chairman of
appropriations, and it is probable
that the craftsmanship of the Pacific
railroad committee will be given to
Throckmorton, of Texas, and that of
the judiciary to Randolph Tucker, of
Virginia. 1t is also believed that
Saylor will be placed on the ways and
means, and Ewing, Of Ohio, the cham
pion soft meney advocate, on the bank
ing and currency committee. Throck-
morton's chances for the Pacific rail-
road craftsmanship are, however, less
ened by the efforts being made in be-
half of Regan, of Texas, to place him
at the head Of commerce committee.

lot of young ladies welcomed General
Sherman at Albany. The old warrior
went right IN and kissed the whole Of
them, while his son, a cowardly young
fellow who had never been through the
wars, stood back and looked sheepishly
on" 1t isn't very strange that Mrs.
Sherman is opposed to round dancing.

MORTON, the Philadelphia defaulter,
is going to be let down very gently
because he was representative Of one
Of the best "old families" of the town.
This reminds us that defaulters nova

do not recognize in this fact sufficient
reason to stay the hand of justice or
soften the rigor of the law.

sPENcER's SPITE.

When trouble arose between the
Hidden Treasure mine owners and the
Aurora jumpers, at Deadwood last
summer, Judge G. G. Bennett granted
an injunction restraining the Aurora
men from taking ore from their shaft.
The Judge then went to Yankton to
attend Supreme court, and the Spencer
crowd were in the hottest kind of water.
Work upon their mines was at stand
still, and, they claimed, they were sac
rificing many dollars per day. Some
thing must be done. The company had
Senator for a member and surely a
United States official Of such magni-
tude could awe a little Black Hills
jurist into compliance with any demand.
Spencer was consulted; and Spencer
agreed to go on to Yankton, and did
go, first, however, telegraphing to Pen
nington ''to hold Judge Bennett until
1 arrive.n ''I'' reached the capital o.
K, rushed into the executive depart
ment and inquired of Pennington if his
telegraphic command had been COM
piled with.
"Certainly."
"Will you send for him?''
Certainly
"Right away ?''
"Certainly."
''Do so then"
Certainly" and the message was
dispatched forthwith. Judge Bennett
answered the summons in person, and
received the grip-sack man in his usual
courteous manner.
Pennington withdrew.
Said Spencer: Judge, have come
on to see you about that injunction"
"What injunction?"
"The Hidden Treasure VS.. Aurora.

about it. Nc"
"Do you wish to make motion ?"
