partuent at Chicago this afternoon reporting that
Postmaster Macarthur is a dcfaultcr to tie Govern
r,ept that he has gone into bankruptcy. and made
she Government preferred creditor This is the first
scd only information in regard to this matter re-
ceiyed by Post-Cncc officials. Mr. Tyncr instructed
,b specal agent at Chicago TO forward details to-
morrow Sixth Auditor McGrcw, who audts all
post-Ofice accounts, says that Mr.. McArthur's ac-
couut, have been adjusted to Dec. 81. They were
.ben correct with the exception of $4,000 dcpos-
it,d in the Cook County National Bank, about
which there is still some controversy. Since that
day there has been no suggestion OF irregularities
made 70 the auditing officers. Mr.. McGrew believes
that If there has been any defacaton it must have
been in the stamp account. The money-orderaccou
90 reported upon every week, and there could not be
= defc:,1ey in that branch without the department
hearing Of IT. I'm week or two. Less frequent reports
arerelurrda the stamp account which IN Chicago
is very large. The Cook County Bank $4,000 Is
m old matter. which has long been in controversy
between Nh Macarthur and the Government The
Cook County National Bank having been United
States depository, Mr.. Macarthur claimed that ne
should not Ice responsible for the 100000 deposited
there "a the time Of It's failure The dispatch Of the
special agent received to-day Is uhueIo'oo Ho"c'04'

II is now safe TO say that Crazy Horse will
not come TO Washington this month with
the Sioux delegation. His spirit has been
waited TO the happy hunting grounds or to
some other indefinite locality, and the places
which knew him Will know him no more
forever. The telegraph has thus far failed to
place US in possession of the exact cream
stances OF his death, but the natural infer
ence would be that he was killed by Sioux
Chief named Little Big Man, since q dispatch
says that while being disarmed al Camp
Robins on he drew O knife and cut Little Big
Man severely in the arm, whereupOn he was
fatally stabbed in the side, but by whom the
telegram fails TO state. The defunct redskin,
although a young man of but twenty-six
years of age, distinguished himself as 1.-The
fighting chief OF Sitting Bulls band, and In
that capacity served al the Custer massacre.
A few months later he came into the agency
with portion Of the hostile band. They were
all disarmed and dispossessed OF their ponies
and since that time Crazy Horse has been
chatting under his helpless condition, and
lately made q break for liberty, which ended
in bis death.

A Philadelphia writing TO one of the New

the sitting of the commission he received a

AS his term does not expire until 1879, the
