POLITICAL HISTORY.

An Open Letter of Henry Watterson to
Abram 5. Hewitt, Charging Him With
SURPRISING Mr.. Tilden's Views rs to the
Electoral Commission.
New YORK, June 22.-Hon. Henry Waiter
son, editor of the Louisville Courier-you,,.al,
publishes in the Sun of Sunday (this morning)
an open letter to the Hon. Abram s. Hewitt.
in which he says: ''You know. and know,
that MIR. Tilden disapproved of the electoral
bill You know, and know, that
you spent Sunday, the l4th of
January, in New York. and that he
made his objections sufficiently known to you.
On Monday, the evening of the 18th of January.
q meeting of the committee of advisement
considered the terms of the bill alphabetically
submitted to it; that at the meeting opposed
them; that You were dumb as IN oyster "a to
MIR. Tiiden's opinion; that finally we all argued
to support. the measure, most
of us believing it the emanation Of
our chief l have charged. and 1 do charge,
that your failure to deal frankly with us on
that occasion, your failure to tell us what Mr..
Tilden had said tosyou the day before was a
practical suppression of his more sagacious
councils, and, to all intents, betrayal of your
friend. Now repeat, and declare my charge of
personal dishonor upon you and as you don't
wish to fight it out, and am sure don't,
will make you this propositions: You select
two members of the committee of adyisement
of which both of us were members. will se-
lect two. The four shall select the fifth and if
do not make my charge good, will make you
public apology.

THE BLACK HILLS.

Gen. Isragley's Command Detained by
High Water at Belle Fourche River---
Miners for the Tongue River.
CHEYENNE, June %, Camp on Belle Fourche,
Goth, via Deadwood, u. r., June o.
Gen. Bragley's expedition reached Belle
Fourche river Tuesday evening, the 18th, and
went into camp, remaining in camp on the
10Th, making preparations for fording the
river which is at high stage. Owing to the
high water and overflow it was necessary to
corduroy the approach to the river. On the
night Of the 10Th, the river rose IA inches
and is still rising on the Goth. Should this
continue, it will be impossible to cross for
several days. Heavy rains and consequent bad
roads have done much to delay the movement
of the command since starting. and the Little
Missouri river will not be reached till the latter
end of the month, instead of the 18th as
was expected. 1t is not yet known whether
Gen. Bragley will establish the permanent camp
on Little Missouri, which is only two days
march from the present camp, or on some of
the beautiful tributaries of the Belle Fourche
river. Several large parties of miners have
passed through the camp en-route to Tongue
river from the Hills.

Kid Glove Investigation.

NEW YORK, June 22-Continued progress is

ed that recently the Trefousse glove was re-
