Crazy Horse Again Routed.

Gen. Wilson, in dispatch to Gen.
Sheridan, from the Yellowstone says: have
the honor to report that this command fought
the hostile tribes OF Cheyenne and Ogallallas
Sioux, under Crazy Horse, in skirmishes, on
the first, third and seventh Of January, and in
five hours engagement on the 9Th inst.
Their camp, some six hundred lodges, ex-
tended three miles along the valley of the
Tongue river, below Hanging Woman 3 Creek.
They were driven through the cannons OF
Wolf or Panther Mountains, in the direction
of the Big Horn Mountains. Their fighting
strength outnumbered mine two or three to
one, but by taking advantage OF the ground
we had them at disadvantage, and their loss
is known to be very severe. Our loss was 3
killed and wounded: They..fought entirely
dismounted, and charged on foot to within so
yards Of Captain Crazy's line, but were taken
in front and flank by Captain Buffers and
Lieutenant McDonald's companies. They
were whipped at every point, and driven from
the field and pursued as far as my limited
supplies and worn down animals would carry
my command.
The Indians appear to have plenty of arms
and ammunition, but otherwise are in des-
titute condition. Some OF the prisoners now
in our hands were captured with frozen limbs
and were living on horse meat. The weather
has been very severe, and the snow from one
to three feet deep. The command is in good
condition.

A Boa Constructors Voyage.

Wilmington IN. c. Star.
The Norwegian bark Surprise, Capt.
Weigner, now in this port, had an ex-
citing adventure lately. While the
vessel was at some port in Africa,
about six or seven months ago, huge
boa-constrictor, some fifteen feet in
length, got on board the ship without
the knowledge of any Of the officers or
crew, and made his way into the hold. j..
The vessel sailed, and the snake was
not discovered until after landing at
Liverpool, when, upon proceeding to
remove the cargo, which consisted of
wool and other articles, the presence
of the constructor was made known.
The stampede that occurred among
the bewildered and affrighted steved-
ores, as well as all others on the ship
at the time, was scene long to be re.
membered. The monster was captur-
ed and Gagged.

Nothing worthy Of note was done in
the House.
The work OF the Senate on the 7th
inst. was OF very unconnected character,
The bill to allow Indians to become citizens
was placed on the calendar. A new confer
ence committee was appointed on fast mails
and the franking privilege. The committee
on claims reported adversely to re-openinQ
claims OF the war OF 1872. The printing bill
was called up by Mr.. Window, but without
action the Senale adjourned
The House held short session on
the 7th, in which the deficiency bill for Gov
ernment printing was discussed, and an
amendment was adopted providing that the
wages of printers on Government work shall
be the same as paid in other eastern cities.
No other business was done, except to discuss
the deficiency appropriation bill in commit

A bill was introduced in the Senate,
ON the 9th, ,appropriating money fer a coloniz-
ing expedition to the Arctic seas. Resolu-

were presented asking tor aid in preventing
the destruction caused by the locust. A
lengthy discussion was had on the bill amend

the Senate adjourned.
In the House, on the 9th, the def.
cheney bill was passed with one item stricken
out; after some other business the report OF
the Louisiana investigating committee was
submitted. The majority report concludes
by declaring that the Democratic electors re-

that the canvass was illegal, fraudulent and
void; and that the vote Of the State cannot
be counted tor Hayes and Wheeler without
confirming confirming and approving the illegal and
clared that the Republican electors were cho.

lend freely on good interest and dividend

r. T. Taylor, cashier of the First
National Bank Of Franklin, Ind, was last
week found to be detaulter to the amount
ofover 3l75, 5,0c0, and he had disappeared,
taking with him all the available funds oil

tunate man was found dyingin the back room
OF DR.. Payne's Office, in an apparent uncon-
scious condition. He was removed to his
residence and the doctors pronounced him
insane and in very critical condition, being
subject to heart disease. He had no money
with him and claims that his bag, travelling
which is supposed to have contained the
money, was lett in caboose car He was
thought to have arrived during the night on
freight train. He says he has been absent
six years. The belief at franklin is that the
loss to the bank will reach one hundred and
seventy"fve thousand dollars. The general
ledger and other books Of importance are
missing. He was unconscious At midniRht.

LOUISIANA.

LOUISIANA.
The House committee continued the
examination of ex-Gov, Wells on the
9th. The examination largely con-
sisted of bandinage between the com.
mittee and witness. Wells testified
that Duncan F. Kenner, a wealthy
gentleman of New Orleans, offered him
5000, 900 to give the vote of louisiana
to Tilden. Kenner telegrapheo in
reply that Wells offered to sell for
$4,000 but he (Kenner) refused to
buy.
The House committee, on the 7th,
examined Louis NJ. Kenner, of the
Louisiana Returning Board. He I'D.
mitted that there was fraud in tho
Vernon parish return but disclaimed
having any personal connection with
it. He said 10000 votes were thrown
out on the ground of intimidation.
Four of the Returning Board clerks
were called to refute Littlefield's story
about altering the Vernon parish re.
turn. All denied having anything to
do with the alteration or knowing any
thing about it.
The Senate committee on Louisiana
affairs examined A. B. Levirse, one Of
the alleged ineligible Hayes electors in
that State. He claimed that S. W.
Ashur and Walter Pugh offered him
500, 900 to give his vote to Tilden, but
that he insisted on $200,00 He
claimed that he was doing this to
test them. Several witnesses were
examined who testified that Madox's
reputation for veracity was bad, and
they would not believe him under
oath.
OREGON.
The Senate committee resumed con.
sideration of the Oregon case, on the
7th. DR.. Miller testified that he had
telegraphic correspondence with Pei.
ton, and sent Patrick to Oregon, but
knew nothing of any illegitimate use
of money in securing the Cronin elec-
toral vote.
