After ex.President Grants return from
Liverpool he has no special engagement
until July Sd. On the Fourth Of July
Minister PIerrepont will give reception
at his residence exclusively y TO Americans
in London, when General Grant will be
present. The next day he will go to
Paris.
The Mayor in proposing General
Grants health, spoke Of the sterling
qualities he possessed as a soldier, which
had enabled him to restore peace and
prosperity to his country.
General Grant replied, saying the re.
ception he encountered in Great Britain
was far beyond his expectations, and was
such as any living person might teel
proud Of. He believed, however, that 1t
was an indication Of the friendly rela.
tions which existed between two people
who we're OF one blood and civilization.
He hopedthis friendship would continue
to be cultivated and long endure. Re.
ierring TO some remarks relative to the
British army, he said there we're az many
soldiers,at Aldershot as in the regular
army Of the United States, which had a
frontier Of thousands Of miles, but II
necessary the United States could raise
volunteers.
LIVERPOOL, June 2S.-Upwards Of two

tives of public bodies, attended the ban.

LONDON, June 2S.-The Times says the

the report that the Russians have been
violating the laws Of war by the iniliCtion
Of wanton injury. II they deliberately
directed their guns against Consulates
and defenseless ports Of Rustchuk then
their guilt is surpassed only by their folly,
and that folly would be all the more glar.
ing because il, as reported, they continued
to FIRE on English Consulates after the
Consul hoisted the American flag, they
would have gone out OF their wayIto assail

have deliberately inflicted such an out.

similar charges invariably accompany

Fraud Freeman's Fracas.

Says the Green River Press: "One
day last week, Mr.. Freeman, of the
Ogden Freeman, entered the postoffice
at that place, and accused the postmas-
ter of sending his papers in the wrong
direction. They argued rather hotly
for a few minutes, when Freeman left
the Office. The postmaster followed
him out and along the street and COM
ing upbehind Freeman, felled him to the
goound, where he remained unconscious
for some minutes, the postmaster
still striking him. He would probably
have killed freeman but for the inter-
ference of some citizens who were pass
ing by. The weapon used by the post
master was a hardwood club, about the
size of an AK helve."

Declined With Thanks.

Jay Gould and associates have de-
clined the proffered subsidy for extend
ing the Utah Northern railroad into
Montana. The legislature of Montana
made a mistake in not submitting
to the people for their acceptance or
rejection, the proposition of Gould s.
Co., instead of binding the company
to conditions which no capitalists would
accept. The chief cause for the refusal
of the aid by the Gould party, was the
condition in the law requiring the
company to pay into the territorial
treasury, monthly, for all time, one
twelfth of the receipts for freight. This
would have amounted to more than the
roads profits on freights, hence it could
hardly be expected that it would be
subscribed to.

HUGE and Handsome Horses.

Four very large and hadsome horses
arrived here yesterday from the Oak

old, and weighs 1850 lbs. The other a
black, 8 yrs. old, 15t hands high, and
weighs 1900 lbs. The other two are
half-breeds of the same stock, one, a
bay, being 3 yrs. old, 15t hands high,
and weighing 1900, the other a dapple-

The Missing Murderer.

Norman McCuaig, the brutal assassin
of the Jacksons, still goes unwhipped
of justice. A report that he had been
seen at Laramie City called Deputy
Sheriff Dalton to that place, and after
a fruitless search he has returned home.
The party Of ranchmen residing on
Horse creek who went out to hunt
McCuaig have given up the chase and
returned home.
We still adhere to our first opinion
regarding McCuaig's whereabouts. We
believe that he is in the immediate
vicinity of the ranch Of his relatives,
the McArthurs, and that he is aware
of every movement of his pursuers. We
renew u recommendation that a vigil
liant watch be kept in that region, and
that every person suspected Of aiding
this fiend in human form be subjected
to a close surveillance, both night and
day. La gt.

Intelligence was received at Fort
Leavenworth on March 3lst regarding
a fight which took place out on the
buffalo range in the western part of
Kansas, between a party Of buffalo
hunters and a band Of Indians, said to
be Sioux. 1t is stated that fifteen
hunters were killed, the Indian loss not
being known, as they succeeded in
taking all their dead away with them.
The hunters had been engaged all day
hunting, and upon returning to camp
neglected to put out sentinels, as they
had no suspicious whatever that there
were any Indians in the vicinity. The
next morning, about 8 O'Clock, their
camp was surprised by a large band Of
braves, and as the hunters rushed out
they were shot down before they had
an opportunity to fire their guns. The
Indians were finally driven of, after a
stubborn fight of about an hour.

Our exchanges will do US . great
favor by publishing to the printing
world the fact that no more printers
are wanted in this section of country.
They swarm in here daily in regular
droves-penniless, hungry and foot
sore, and it is hard to say no to their
piteous appeals for work and money.
Every case in this city is full and there
are plenty Of ''subs" who are obliged to
stay here and who get all the extra
work there is to do. We cannot feed
an army every day, and printers here
are not rich enough to be able to con.
tribute money to support their tramp
ing brethren. Again we say to print
ers-stay away from Cheyenne.

Mixed Matrimony.

A correspondent of the Salt Lake
Tribune, at Nephi, Utah, writes as fol-
lows: s!There is a man here by the
name of Rolly, who married Il woman
and for some reason left her. He mar
ried again and time passed on. They
both raised families, she having raised
several daughters. Rolly saw her and
married her as a third. He has since
married one of the daughters as a
fourth, and it is generally believed that
he intends to take them one after an
other as fast as they arrive at a mar
riageable age"

~HUaRAH1foR SPOTTED TAIL.
He Is Coming in with Crazy
Horse and Nine Hundred
Hostiles:
Their Camp Now on the Belle Fourehe,
Fifty Miles North of Deadwood.
Sitting Bull sun Holds Out, But His Fol-
lowers Are Few--Great 10y Among
s Black Killers.

When Spotted Tail started for the
camps Of the hostiles on his self-im-
posed mission Of peace, many doubted
some his sincerity Of purpose, others
his success, and still others his ever
coming back. Gen. Crook was conf
dent that the shrewd old chief would
succeed, and repeatedly stated it as his
belief that the Indian var was ended.
At the same time preparations for an
active summer campaign were carried
on.
Days and weeks passed, and no word
came from the great chief who went
out with the olive branch. Now, after
an absence of nearly two months he is
heard from, and the news is good news.
The following dispatch reached this
Office at a late hour last night:
DEADwooD, April A., 1877.
A courier from Spotted Tails band
arrived at Captain Vroom's camp, near
here, tonight.
He reports that Spotted Tail, with
Crazy Horse and nine hundred of his
warriors, are camped on the Belle
Fourche river, about fifty miles north
of here. They are en- route to the
Agency, to accept the terms of peace.
Sitting Bull still holds out, although
he has but few warriors.
The report causes great joy in the
Black Hills. M
Meantime the military authorities are
not entirely idle, but are proceeding
with preparations for an active cam
paign against Sitting Bull if that be
necessary. Supplies are being shipped
in immense quantity to Fetterman and
REM. All the surplus ordnance in the
departments is being forwarded to the
same places. Tho cavalry is being
thoroughly drilled, and everything put
in readiness for active work.
At Fort Russell, the six companies
of the Fifth cavalry, under GeneralMer-
rift, are daily exercised in company,
battalion and other military maneuvers,
and under his skillful discipline have
reached a high state of soldierly perfec-
ton. These troops have already had
the experience of severe Indian cam
paigns, not only in this but also in other
departments.
Whether the campaign will take the
shape of a large military expedition, or
of smaller bodies of troops penetrating
the Indian country simultaneously in
various directions, is not known; but
there is no doubt that active work is
being planned by Gems. Crook and Sheri-
dan, which we trust will definitely settle
the Indian business during the present
year.
