there was any intrigue Of any character

or between any friends of Mr.. Hayes and

Of every sort should nave been started and

had been confirmed by the senate and house
and that vote had been counted for the re-
publican candidates, after midnight, a dem

ter officially announced the recognition of
the Diaz government by the United States
The 9th inst. President Diaz received Mr..
Foster officially on the 10th, and much COZ
dialty Of feeling was manifested on both
sides. The press discuss the event. The
Loredo Journal denounces the Mexican
governm,nt for having, as they charge, &C.
cepted the recognition with the insulting
language from Secretary Evarts. The
church newspaper, the La Bandero Nation
al, is more bitter against the United States
than ever, and does not want peace on any
terms. The portion Of the govcrnmen,
press which does support Minister vallarte,
claims the recognition of President Dia7
by the United States as a great diplomatic
triumph Of Senior Vallalte over Mr.. Eyarts
The official Journal treats the subject with
dignity and does full justice to the United
States.
Jefferson Davis, before leaving this city
was complimented with a grand military re
view at San Sorzo. About 5000 troops o
all armies were in line. Mr.. Davis was
mounted and in full uniform.

COL. Spot" IN COURT.
Springfield Times


Col Spotted Tail, commander in-cbief of
the Sioux Indians on his reservation, visited
our town Monday last, accompanied BY
three of his lieutenants named Windy"
BLACK Crow and Rooster" They came
down for the purpose of giving testimony
in the case Of the United States against Coe,
Carter & Co.. of North Platte. Nebraska,
before Judge Sterling. This is an action
brought by the government to recover pay
for some 300 head Of cattle, valued at about
$4,000, paid to the defendant in the settle
ment Of an alleged loss Of stock by the de.
PENDANTS from depredations by Spotted
Tails Indians. When Spot was in Wash
ington it is said he stated to Secretary
Schurz, through an interpreter, tina, his r.
dams only took some thirty head of. cattle,
instead of three hundred, and so suit was
instituted to recover the amount claimed to
have been wrongfully paid. Spot denies
that be ever made such a statement to the
secretary, and hence the interpreter must
have lied just a little. Spot and his patty
left for the agency Tuesday morning.

the end tina, his life may be prolonged TO
the utmost limit Wounded ard SCARED as
he is, his very existence speaks in terms
more eloquent than words of the desperate
struggle against overwhelming numbers, of
the hopeless conf CT, and of the herloc
manner in which all Went down on that
fatal day.
Second-The commanding off GER of COM
pany l will see that a special and comfort.
able stall is fitted up for HIM, and he will
not be ridden by any person whatever, un-

THE NARROW GAUGE.
Prospects of the Covington, Columbus
and Black Hills Road.

N!ooTara Pioneer, April ~,
Everybody is inquiring about the Coving-
ton, Columbu, and Black Hills railroad
bond suit, and expressing surprise that the
matter has not been disposed of some time
ago. The decision of the supreme court
was TO have been announced the 4th Of last
month, and then again it was said that it
would surely be delivered by the Ali Of this
month. The court seems somewhat, behind
with its work, and perhaps this account. in
part for the delay Of their decision in thi.
case as well az in others. Another thing a
great many regard as the true reason for the
delay in this particular case il the fact that
both sides Of it are virtually managed by
the company, and they regard ii a. being
to their interests to delay The matter for a
while.

The Deadwocd Times states that the DO
litical wire pullers of the Black Hills are
looking over the situation with as view TO
controlling next falls election. The propo-
sition is, that both parties in the Hills unite
ON a candidate for congress, and, 5 the Times
says, 60 in and elect him. The intention
seems to be to make it a sectional, rather
than a political contest. There is more evil
dence of prejudice than wisdom in this sug-
gestion. As a locality the Hills cannot hope
to outvote the balance of the territory, while
a combination of the republican forces Of
that section with those of northern and
southeastern Dakota will give to the party 4
sweeping majority in November next.

pound, the result will justify the argument
in favor Of q more reasonable excise.
In speaking of the probable repeal by Con-
gress Of the bankrupt law the Brooklyn Eagle
remarks that the idea that such q law. as an
easement for debtors. has long been an ad-
iunct OF European systems is erroneous. Eu-
ropean bankrupt laws, from those Of the
Republic of Venice forward in time, have
always been made to enable creditors to
compel debtors to pay UP. The origi-
nal theory was that fraud must be pre-
sumed Of every failure, and that the contrary
would have to be shown by the bank
rupt, on whom the onus probandi was de-
volved. The contrary has never yet been
assumed by the notifications Of those laws
through the centuries. Adjustment and dis
charge have become easier for debtors, but to
this day the creditor is the person preferred
by and favored under European laws. 1nsol-
vency is reproach rs well as q misfortune.
by the spirit and slant Of such laws. Busi-
ness is not run on unrealities there. and such
n thing rs making bankruptcy regular part
Of business career, every four or five years.
would as proposition appear as obnoxious
to public opinion as to annex forgery to bank
ing and piracy to importing.

acquired a high position among financial
circles-in its issue of the eighth instant

said that the movement In grain, cotton and

not unnaturally become somewhat smaller
