The suggestion is made that KEAHNEY

good one; but there are other candidates

that after the returns were all in " last

"A RUSSIAN E-DEFlL.--huOHg the
officers on the Grand Dukes staff is a
tall, handsome man, with 1.-the, slen-
der, active figure, . clear blue eye,
large, prominent, well-shaped nose,
and a face young enough for a second
lieutenant. 1t is Scobeleff, the young
est general in the army, the conquer
or of Khokand. He had the reputa-
ton, even among the Russians, Of be-
ing mailman, who would fling away
his own life and those of his troops
without the slightest regard for con-
sequences.
During the war which resulted in
the conquest Of Khokand, a Russian
detachment of eight hundred men,
with four hundred Cossacks, was com
PEELED to retreat before superior
force of the enemy. General Trotsky
decided upon night attack, anil con-
fded his plan to Colonel SkobeIef,
then his chief of staff. The latter en-
tered into the idea with great enthu-
siasm, and proposed to lead the at
tackiug column himself, and take on
~ $50 Cossacks. Skobeleff, having
reconnoitered the ground, perceived
that the Khokandians had encamped
within mile and a half of the Rus
slams in an open plain, which gave ev-
cry facility for the moving of cavalry.
At midnight he took his $50 Cossacks,
divided them into three parties, and
cautiously surrounded the enemy's
camp. The party, led by Skobeleff,
managed to pass the enemy's outposts,
who were sound asleep. Then he
gave the signal for the attack by fir.
ing his pistol, and, followed by his
$50 Cossacks, he rode headlong into
the enemy's camp, Of 5000 to 1000
men, shouting and yelling like fends,
and cutting down everything in their
passage. For quarter of an hour
the plain resounded with shrieks and
yells, shots, and the trampling of
horses, shouts and groans, and all the
uproar of battle. Then all was ST.
lence Skobeleff assembled his Cos
sacks, and when morning came he
found that the whole army Of 5000 or
1000 men had disappeared, leaving
on the field about forty dead, 1000 or
5000 muskct, and sabres, all their
camp material and baggage. But
what was his establishment on calling
the roll to discover that he had nol
lost man, either killed or wounded.
Mr.. Macghan, who first met him on
the banks of the Oxus, relates this ex-
plot to show how much method there
is in this daredevil's madness.

hot summers and cold winters Of his
youthful days"
THE BANNACK INDIANS.


| 1t is not probable that any serious
trouble will occur with the Indians
south Of the Montana line while win
ter reigns; but recent events show
that much disaffection exists among
them, and that too much confidence
must not be- placed in the friendly dis
position Of our Bannack and Snake
Ineighbors. In view of the uncertain
Ity of the situation, the following in
regard to the numerical strength and
condition of these Indians will be of
interest to our readers, as showing
what they can do in case of an out
break when the return of fine weather
renders operations possible. The fig
ures are from the special correspond.
ence of tie New York Herald:
The Bannacks live with the Snake
Indians, with whom they are inter-
married and closely assimilated. If
the Bannacks went to war the Snakes
would undoubtedly go with them, and
the Government would have 1872
hostile Indians on it's hands-the
Snakes numbering 964 and the Ban
nacks 648 souls-more than Joseph
had in all his campaigns last summer.
The Snakes have in their band 5l4 fe-
males and 400 males; the Bannacks
$50 females and 279 males. The two
bands could muster and put into the
saddle $50 good fighting men, we'll
armed and equipped The bands own
5000 head of horses, some mules, cat
tie and swine.
These Bannacks have their agency
on the Snake river, in the southeast
part of Idaho. The road over which
all the travel from Montana passes in
winter time runs through their reser-
walton and close by the agency. This
road is also the main stage and freigth
route from Corinne, on the Union Pa
cifc railway to Montana, Southern
Idaho, and Northern Utah. If it
were closed there would be no travel
from Montana to the States during
five months in the year. So import
ant thoroughfare could not remain
closed long, even if it took half the
United States army to keep it open;
yet the Bannacks have it in their pow
er to close it at any moment and cut
off the whole Territory from communi-
cation with the States. Great ankle
ty on account of their location as we'll
as disposition has been felt, and the
Bannacks are today an important
menace to the citizens of the three
Territories. If they should break out
they could overrun idaho, Utah and
Montana and destroy hundreds of
lives and millions of property before
they could be checked.

TIE rival papers Of the public schoc
were to have been read last evening

ALExANDER Ii. STEPHENS was once a
great man. Disease has attenuated
his mind as we'll as his body, and ne
is only respected for what he was in
the latter days of orr country. Little
remains of the victim of painfully
prolonged life but the spleen OF per-
sonal hate and the vagaries OF a dis
torted mind. The fact Of Ben Hill be-
ing on one side of public question
instantly drives Mr.. Stephens to the
other, and this illustrates how sadly a
once great man has fallen through
nhvsical infirmity that has led him in
to a premature dccrepitude Of both
body and mind.

A COMMITTEE has been appointed by
the Supreme Court Of this Territory
to investigate charges preferred by
members Of the bar against Governor
Brayman. He is accused of making
public declarations at different times
sndplaces in the Territory rejecting
upon the integrity Of the courts and
judges thereof. Whether it is proper
Tor the Executive to shake the conf
dence of the people in the Judiciary is
aquestlon, yet if Mr.. Brayman did
make the remarks and can prove their
'Futhfulness he has done a good act
lor the people. If our Judges are
honest, well and good, if not they
ought to be removed, and we think
ae Governor would be justiiable in
beng instrumental in bringing about
the changes.
