Conference on Infi4leIsty.

at a conference at the National Club, convened
by the Christian Evidence Society 10 consider
the state of unbelief in different parts of the
world and the best way Of meeting it. Among
those present we're the Bishop of Gloucester

of the society.
The Bishop ofGioucester aud Bratol referred
to the leading forms in which lbildellty had
manifested itself in this country. Ono class OF
persons was rendered sceptlcal by the alleged
difficulties consequent on the discoveries OF
science. Another GLASS was Influenced by the
results, or supposed results of historical crl'
cisms. But the largest class of unbeIie7ers, or
doubters, consisted OF those who neither at.
frmcd oor denied anything. With all these
we had 10 deal in a manner b,st adapted to
meet their several e;Gculties. 1t was, how
ever found that the latest discoveries OF science
confirmed the statement ef religious truth, and
that science was truly the handmade of religion.

side Of the great controversy, it was seen chat

cheyenne without a Government.

The city was astounded, yesterday,
by the decision of Chief Justice Fisher
in the injunction cast of Henry Altman
VS.. the Board of Trustees, which was
to the effect that there is no Cheyenne
city government in existence. The best
legal talent Of the city was at nee in
voked in determining the powers and
duties of the new Council and Mayor.
1t was decided that until the new Off
GERS have duly qualified by giving bond
and taking the oath of office that there
is no city government.
The late City Treasurer and Clerk
retain their books, etc, until their
successors are duly qualified, and the
same is true of the Marshal and police.
Everything is quiet and serene. Mayor
Bresnaben and the Councilmen will
meet at the City Hall at IL o'clock this
morning, and after their bonds are
duly approved and the oath of office
administered, will take the reins of
power.

DEFINE MS POSITION.
At the request of Mr. 4. Maggie, VIC
will state that the county commission

At the request of MI. +. Nagle, we
will state that the county commission
ers did not authorize Mr.. Glafcke to
represent them in any manne what
ever, in the bond matter. He further
states that no compromise oil PROPOSE
ton has been spoken of by said board
while in session, o at any other time,
to his knowledge, and further says, if
authority has been delegated, it has
been done without his knowledge or
consent.
We suggest that this might be very
possible, and yet unknown to Mr..
Nagle. Stranger things have happened.
No n who will give the matter a
second thought, will see any impro-
priety in Mr.. Glafcke's action. 1t is
not claimed, to the slightest extent, as
binding upon the county commission
ers. 1t is simply a guarantee to the
people, with Glafcke's name attached,
with Gould's and Loveland's, incident
only from the absence of any specially
delegated person to receive their propos-
ition. Only this and nothing more.
1t is such a service as one friend might
with entire propriety perform for
another. Certainly Mr.. G.. sustains
the position of friend to this people.
His whole interests are here, and his
long service in this community Is a
public officer, as a journalist and as a
citizen, are appreciated by this people,
as we believe, and the general public
will be slow to place any such construc-
ton on his act in this particular, as
suggested by Mr.. Nagle.
Mr.. Maggie opposes the bonds. Mr..
Glafcke favors them. Both are I'M
doubtedly conscientious in so doing.
II is the full right of each to act i'll
accordance with his convictions rs to
what constitutes the interest of the
town and people, with whose destiny
the fortunes of each are so closely and
largely connected.
Mr.. Maggie INSISTS that the original
contract oil the full equivalent be COM
piled with by the railroad company be-
fore his voting in favor of bonds.'
Equally sagacious business men will
consider a conservative course in this
matter the ,oiSer of the two plans, and
far preferable to this repellant and
aggressive attitude, illustrated by the
position of Mr.. Nagle, and the main.
tenance of which in business affairs,
so often eventuates in needless disaster

Condition oil Cattle.

Mr.. w. w. Sawyer, who came in u
day or two ago from the cattle ranges
northwest of Fort Laramie, reports
that there is scarcely any snow on the
ground between this city and the North
Platte river. The cattle were in prime
condition at the setting in of stormy
weather. There were heavy SHOWS dur
ing Holiday week, but strong winds
followed, and the snow was rapidly
blown away, so that the stock have not
suffered. He saw a few poor cows,
but they were poor when winter opened.
So far he has seen no dead cattle on
the ranges, and feels confident that the
losses this year will be very small.

THE REMOVED REDSKINS.

" .H
Lieut.. W. T.. Clark. who left the New
Red Cloud Agency on Jan. It'll, states
that the Indians belonging to this agen-
cy are at the forks of the White river,
sixty-five miles from the Missouri.
They brought their rations to the camp
having come in for them. There is a
good feeling existing among their In
dians. During the trip from the old
agency they were very suspicious, and
seemed to think that all the promises
made to them were mere subterfuges to
get them over to the Missouri and then
hold them there, but since there arrival
at their destination confidence has been
restored among them: as all the prom
ises thus far have been fulfilled, and in
the spring they will be allowed to Sc
lect an agency on their own reservation
according to the Presidents promise.
The scouts have all been paid off, and
the Indians generally have drawn their
annuity goods. They are very earnest
and strong in their expressions of Il
determination to go back from the
Missouri river. They desire to locate
Oh Tongue river. The President told
them they need only go near enough to
the Missouri river to receive their sup
plies conveniently during the winter,
as the supplies were already there.
The Indians claim that it is unhealthy
for them near the Missouri river, and
that many of their people having weak
lungs are subject to pneumo mia
quite a large number having already
died o fthat disease.
Lieut.. Clark left the New Spotted
Tail Agency OF the 18th. This agency
is at the old Ponca reservation. The
Indians have moved within twelve
miles If it, some being at Running
Water and some on Ponca Creek.
They aIe just now drawing their annu-
ity goods. These Indians also express
themselves satisfied with the fulfllment
of promises thus far, as everything that
was agreed to be done for them has
been faithfully carried out. They also
want to move back from the river in
the spring to the point they have Sc
lected, which is in the vicinity of the
crossing of the old Fort Randall road
with the south Fork of White river.
This place is called Wounded Knee,
and it is about $50 miles to the above
crossing.
The Indians at both agencies have
set their hearts OH moving back from
the river, and it is generally expected
that trouble will ensue unless the prom
Uses in this respect are carried out
promptly and in full and in good faith
in the spring.
