II is claimed that Joseph's band has
al no time numbered above 25O, or at
most 800 fighting men. 1t was originally
composed of only fifty-eight families, and
to these he joined few score of other
non-treaty Indians of Idaho, who SYM
pathized with him in his wrongs, and
were willing to take their chances with
him in his desperate war for his rights.
The assertion that he materially outnum-
bered Gibbon in the late fight at the Big
Hole pass rests on no plausible ground.
When be fought Howard on the South
Fork of the Clearwater, even Howard
did not venture to set Joseph's force at
more than $50 warriors. Joseph and his
band continue to bother Howard and
his men.

Failure of the State Savings Institution.

CH1cAao,Augus 2S.-The State Savings
Institution made an assignment this at-
ternoon to Abner Taylor, This bank has
been established some twenty years, and
from the prestige of It's early reputation
has secured the patronage of great ma
iority of the poorer classes who deposit
in savings institutions here, The maxi
mum estate of directors is sixteen thous'
and dollars and the minimum twelve
thousand. The failure will fall with
crushing weight on these people, many
of whom have invested their "all" with
thatban The State has for many months
been in somewhat precarious condition,
and the run upon it has accelerated the
failure. The officers give this statement
of the affairs of the institution: Savings
deposits, s., ,93l ,756; Certificates of depos-
its, 1858; Bills payable, $52,O5e; Total
debts s$2, ,9SS, ,339; Mortgage loans, 81 $780,
1874; Collateral loan, 81, ,l67, ,850; Real es.
tate, $l05,131 Building, $l2l, ,625; Total
credits, $2,724,69O. The President, D. d.
Spencer, is at present in New York, HAY
ing gone there for the purpose of securing
loan.

LAST weeks Repository was more than
usually bitter and sharp at the Democ-
racy, showing that the leader of the edi-
torial gang, Louis Schaefer, Esq, is be-
coming fairly aroused. The sketch of
our meeting in the Opera House, entitled
Democratic Love Feast" was Schaefer
all over. The freedom taken with Mr..
Lynch, in calling him Billy" and with
A. McGregor, in famiiarly clubbing him
"Archie," shows the Schaeferism. The
nominal editor of the Repository never
was sufficiently familiar with Mr.. Lynch
and Mr.. McGregor to act thus free, and
as he is not Il blackguard, he could not
have written the mticle. The local edi-
tor is in similar position, being Con-
parative stranger in our city, And be-
ing, too, member of the NJ. i. church
in good standing, he could not and would
not so far forget ttheamenities due rs to act
the bIackguard. We do not exactly call
it blackgnardism in Mr.. Schaefer, but at
tribute it to old familiarity. Mr.. Lynch
read law in his office, and Mr.. McGregor
followed lis valiantand brave leadership
during thewar, except that Sunday morn
ing, when he ran up the alley with his
coal tail flying behind. We did not re-
ceive that day an invitation to dine with
him and Col. Spiegel. In fct we could
not have complied if an invitation. had
been extended
The leading spirit Of the Repository ed
itorial gangis beyond dispute, and is-the
mighty cavorting Schaeier.

Mr.. GARFIELD finds it necessary to de-
fend Hayes's title TO the Presidency. He
clings to the Resumption Act, and insists
upon its enforcement, indorsing Hayes's
words-"I would consent to no backward
sters. To yield or compromise is weak
ness, and will destroy us. X X We can
better afford to be beaten than to back
out"
Mr.. Garfield also prefers National
Bank currency, and opposes greenbacks,

Mr.. PENDBEToN does not have any
faith in the plan of making the working
men of the country the wards of the ma
ton. In his speech at Columbus he said
that when the Government "takes la
borers under its special and parental care
to make them Eardeus of the nation, it
belittles and Injuries them" This isgood
doctrine, and should be carefully con-
sidered by every true workingman.

4 Sheriff Killed By a To,va Marshal.

DANvILLE, August 2S.-Walter Sanders,
late Sheriff of Lincoln county, and his
brother-in law Jack Ballard, were killed
last evening at Richmond, Madison coun-
ty, by Gus. Edwards, Town Marshal and
a party of his friends. The particulars
are these: "a younger brother of Sand.

during that time was badly beaten over
the head by Edward Sanders, and his
friends say inexCusably, Edwards saying
that Sanders interfered while he was in
discharge of his duty as au officer. Yes
terday, Walter Sanders and his friends
went to Richmond to attend the trial OF
young Sanders for his alleged oflense. AT
ter the trial was over conversation oc-
Cured between Edwards an Walter San
ders at the Garnet House, during which
Sanders denounced Edwards conduct as
brutal and cowardly, at the same time
drawing a pistol. About this time San
ders was shot by some other person, but
leveling his pistol made things lively
while his strength lasted. When the firing
ended Sanders and his brother.in law
Ballard were dead, Marshal Edwards

MINING BUSINESS IN OHIO.

COLUMBUS, O., August 25.-Mine In
spector Roy states that all the mines at
Straitsvllle Shawnee resumed work at
ten cents advance per ton, and tina! there
are very few idle miners in the State.
Nearly all the mines are doing fair bu-
siness, except the Ohio River mines,
which have no transportation on account
of low water. There is thirty per cent.
more coal now mined in Ohio than at
this time last year.

R. H. FoLGER, our candidate for Sena-
tor, has sent challenge to Mr.. Haines,
the Democratic nominee, asking him to
meet him in discussion at as many points
in Carroll and Stark counties as he may
desire. It is not yet known whether
Mr.. Haines will accept Repository.
Is not the Repository aware that Mr.
Folger two years ago, voted for Mr.. Hainea
against Coates for the Senate of Ohio
We wonder if Mr.. Coates is not properly
advised. About that time Folgerwanted
the Democrats to favor him for Justice
of the Peace.

Tx Enquirer finds fault at. the Penn
sylvania Democratic State convention,
because that sensible body endorsed the
st. Louis platform, and said no more on
the financial question. The Democrats
of Pennsylvania are evidently consider
ing that the financial is Congressional
or National question, and hence ques-
ton for the National Democracy to settle
for the party. That's just what the old
Democracy used to think. Pennsylvania
has not the financial wisdom of Ohio !

WE trust Hon. A. r. Haines will main
tain his deserved reputation for extraor-
dinary good sense and sound judgment
by making no reply whatever to the
characteristic challenge from the bonn
bastic Folger of Massillon. Let him

We suggested to Mr.. Worley the other
day that it would be quite as proper for
him to challenge his opponent for the
Legislature, Mr.. r. r, Porter, of Canal
Fulton, az for Mr.. FOlger to challenge
Mr.. Hanes to discussion. Mr. Worley
said he had not thought of making him.
self so ridiculous; that if he honestly de-
sired to discuss with an opponent, he
would assuredly be man enough to chal-
lenge gentleman who made some pre-
tensions to public speaking. We antici'
pated just such reply; and this just
serves to show the attitude that Mr. Fol-
ger has placed himself in. But, If Mr.
Folger feels as if his elephant powers
must be let loose or burst, let him relieve
himself by blowing off at Farmers pic
MICS, at Murphy meetings, where he can
abuse liquor sellers as he has been do
ing, or at radical Hayes.John Sherman
meetings, where he can dilate on the
Hayes fraud, smoothe over Credit Mobi-
lier, De Golyer Garfield, yillainous re-
sumption, hard times, &c.
But if the valiant champion of the
Hayes fraud party in this Senatorial dis
trict must have a victim to demolish in
discussion, and Mr.. Haines declines, we
will endeavor to find some one to pre-
sent as sacrifice, hoping in this event
the mighty Goliah of the raging canawl
would be satisfied and seek none other
TO devour.

OLD Spinner rather thinks the supply
of currency not at ali times equal to the
wants of trade. He believes in an elas-
tic currency which shall be legal tender
for all purposes, and, therefore, at par
with coin. Mr.. Spinner's opinions on
financial subjects were sought for for
merly by the Republican party as being
of value. Now Mr.. Sherman holds that
party by the throat.

WASHINGTON.
Democratic Economy Shows a Surplus
OF $3O,OOO,OOO.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 26.-The
receipts of the Government from all
sources for the last fiscal year ending
June goth last, were as follows Customs,
$I3o,956,4o4 o. internal revenue, $I1o,-
63o 4o7 50; sale Of public lands, $780,
253 68; miscellaneous, $IS,437,432 o.;
total, S26o, 1000. $50 81. The expendi-
lures were as follows; Civil and miscel-
laneous, S56,252, 900 60; War Depart
ment, S37, ,oS2,735 90; Navy Department,
$I4,o5o,o35 26; Interior Department,
S33,24o,75o 40; total, exclusive of inter
est on public debt, $I4G,535,495 IS. In
terest on public debt aggregated $97,~
I24, ,5II So, making the total expenditures
of the Government $23S. 600 ,ooS 90. 1t
will thus be seen that the Treasury has
in round numbers surplus of $50, ,ooo,-
900, or $4, 900, 900 more than Secretary
Morrill's estimate in his last report to
Congress. Before the Democracy Sc
cured the lower branch of Congress a
deficit was the exception rather than the
rule, and this favorable showing of a
surplus of $50 o,ooo, 900 is due solely to
the retrenchment inaugurated and sue
cessfully carried out by the Democratic
House of Representatives.
