consequence, one of the most revolving chap
tiers has been added TO the history OF Indian

The foregoing paragraph from the

very unjust criticism upon one Of the most
faithful and vigilant officers in the service,
Is matter OF fact all the troops at Gen
eral Pope's disposal were sent forward to
the frontier Immediate, in response to the

had but few TO send was no fault of his

ocratic policy OF reducing the army The
Giabs-DeaocTofS remark about troops loaf

IN which it is used, since Gen. Pope las
nothing more 10 DO with the forts and ar

THE INDIANS.

The bands of Indians that escaped from
the Territory about three weeks ago, have
succeeded in marching with their squaws
and papooses across the entire width of the
two States Of Kansas and Nebraska. cross
ing on the way three of the largest rail-
roads in the United States-the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe, the Kansas Pacific and
the Union Pacifc,-and have made their
way safely to the Black Hills country,
where they are "at home," and where they
will be able to give the troops as well as
the settlers great deal of trouble. The
New York Times thinks they will give our
little army as much work as il can attend
to. and saws:
WhiR the dispatches from 81. Louis indi-
cate that the Indians who have begun hos
tilties in Northern and Northwestern Kan
sas have been scattered by the trco;s and
quiet restored in that region, i; appears pos
sible that we are TO have trouble in The Black
Hills. The bands Of Red Cloud and Spotted
Tail, the latter amounting TO nearly 5,0oo
souls, are reported TO be in motion, with the
intenti.n of raiding the Bills. The Spotted
Tail band have been discontenled for a long
time, though they have behaved with unu-
sual quiet since their encampment on the
Upper Missouri. Nowthey have burned the
grass tor miles around their villages and
threaten disturbance. Should they prove
really TO be on ne war-path, they can give
our small army good deal of hard work and
probably some hard fighting before they can,

Ets. ANDERSON

Our candidate FOR Congress III this Dis.

able canvas, is winning hosts Of friends,
and is spoken Of in the highest terms
wherever he goes. Concerning his meeting
at Belleyille, the Yds5e2ps of the 81 says
As per announcement, John 4. Anderson,

Anderson h the next best mar, ana VIII re-

dsnce of the people. He would be elected If
his opposition should combine against him.
Similar accounts reach Us from all parts

that THE TINES did not exaggerate the
truth when it stated, just after the nomi-
mating convention, that Alr. Anderson was
one Of the ablcst men ever nominated TO

Bs n HllI's Liver Out Of Order.
tCbicaso Times, 5

Ben Hill, one of the most irrep,essible of
the blatherskites sent to Congress from the
COME feierate States, has written a letter Ia
voring his constituents with his opinion
about Hayes title to the Presidency. An
dy johnson became President through A
great crime, Mr.. Hill says, bu, johnson
punished the criminals. HAYES obtain d
his title also from criminal practices. md
he hss rewarded the perpetrators. What
Mr. Hill proposes TO do about it il not
clear. The dispatches say the letter ''is re-
garded as the keynote of an attack on
Hayes title TO be made in the Senste."
Probably it is merely the consequence Of an
unhealthy condition of Mr.. Hills liver.
With all this tendency to incontiuence and
intemperance Of speech, he is not such Il
hopeless idiot as to suppose that any politi-
cal profit can be made by himself or bis
party in seriously raising or attempting to
raise question as 10 the conclusive charac-
ter of the action of Congress in March.

ruECsLiro.s.A CONVENTION.

The members OF the Constitutional Con
yentIon OF California, now in session, are
classified as follows: Non-Partisans, 1S +:
Workfngmen, 81 straight Democrats, .;
straight Republicans, 10; Farmer and
Workingman, /; Granger aud Republican,
/; Independent, =. The subdivisions of
political opinion in the convention, il will
be seen, are numerous and curious. But it
understood that the delegates, themselves,
furnish the political descriptions which are
attached 10 their names in the published
lists. OF the l52 members of the conven-
ton, a fair majority are Non-Pariisans, So
called, elected with special reference to op-
posing the Workingman's Party, so-calIed
led by Kearney. The majority is already
reinforced from the other anti Kearney,
groups. The New York Times thinks it
was TO this victory of the Non-Partisan
ticket in the Stale that Kearney referred
when he said in his Boston reception speech,
that ''the fostering carcass of corruption
and monopoly lies bowling upon the fertile
plaius OF California"

The piano pupil Of the present day finds
difficulties enough in his wsy towards the
achievement OF even moderate success in
his art to tax his best powers and to occu-
py most Of his time for years, but if the
London HUsicol .Stdndord is correct in pre-
dieting that piano recently invented is to
become the piano of the future" the PA
mist OF the future will find his task far
greater one. This new instrument is pro-
vided with a second keyboard, the scale of
which run in an inverse direction from that
of the usual order; that is, it ascends from
right to left. The object of this second
keyboard is to facilitate the playing of the
passages that now require she crossing Of
the hands, instead of which operation the
second set OF notes are to be used, the hands
thus playing apart from each other. An
ascending passage for the left hand, for in
stance, is plSyed on the old style keyboard
TO almost the centre of the piano, then con-
tInued by playing backward on the other
board, and so with passages for the right
hand. The increased power thus given to
the musician in the execution of difficult
music is obvious, but the corresponding
difficulty OF learning TO Use it TO advantage
will be discouraging 10 manv already skill
full pianists. 1t requires. for instance, .
triple score, and the confusion of playing
backward and forward will be
something requiring much patience to be-
acme accustomed to. Tbs new instrument
is a French invention.

the correspondent claims, Of every candi-
dale making fight for himself and in his
orn way; or. in other words, the result Of
4 lack Of thorough organization. Reports

COOP FOE THE EIAWGEnS.

The recent decision, or opinion, OF the
Secretary OF the Interior, to the effect that
lands granted TO railroads, and rot sold
within a certain period, revert 10 the Gov
ernment, and are subject TO priva,e entry,
is likely TO give rise to endless litigation.
The St. Louis RepuJIioGn OF the Sth says:
The decision of the Secretary Of the In er-
rthat UnSoli remnants of certain Pacific
Railroad land grants have reverted TO the
Government promises to occasion endless
litigation, unless Congress and Supreme
Court undertake 10 settle the questions, in-
volved at an early day. The Kansas Pacific
Company, ignoring the action of Secretary

How the Darkness Benumbs the
senses Of the Miner.
Virginia City Enterprise, !

Owing to the darkness that fills our deer
mining shafts our miners are less conscious
of the dangers of their trade than they
would otherwise be. \ miner standing on
bit of plank thrown across shaft 900
or 500 feet in depth sees little of the ri,
yawning beneath his feet. The darkness
rises up until it almost seems to form a
floor under his plank, giving a place on
which his eyes may rest and preventing an
unsteadiness of the head. Place the same
shaft on the surface of the earth, and let it
tower l 500 feet into the air and broad
light of day, and the miner standing on his
single plank at the elevation three times as
great as the tallest church spire would he
unable to move-would be paralyzed
Looking down through the awful depth be-
low, he would clutch the nearest timber,
afraid to make move in any direction.
Make for him doors on each eide OF this
shaft, representing the openings at the sta
tions, and he would not be likely to leap
from door to door across the yawning shaft,
as he does underneath the ground, where
the dark rises up and makes q seeming
floor between the doors. Ii is undoubtedly
the darkness that benumbs the senses Of the
miner TO the danger to which he is exposed
when passing to and fro across shafts and
wines, or when climbing the interior Of
their compartments. trusting to the &C cinty
hold for hands and feet afforded by the mar
row lodges of the timbers projecting from
the walls

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

The result in ilt Oc;oo.i State as indi-
Gated b. the now almost complete returns
is about as good a. the Republicans could
ask Tor. The great tidal wave OF Deno-
cratic success, propelled bya coal.t.Jn with
the National Greerback Labor Party, and
which was expected to roll up and inun-
date the country, hasn't rolled any to speak
oi. Iudisna Is Democratic, Of course, but
not by as large a majority as the Demo-
crats expected to have. Iowa, which was
to have been revolutionizsd by the combin-
ed Democratic and Greenback vote, comes
to time with a Republican majority Of
thirty thousand or moreno. as large a
majority az she is able to give at Presi-
DENTAL election, but full enough for an off
year.-Ohio, which went Democratic at
the last election, by a majority of seven
tboH-and, and which the Democrats ex-
pected to carry this time by much
larger msiGrity, ia now conceded
10 the Republicans by the Cincinnati En-
qsirer, by majority OF probably ten thou
sand. A Democratic legislature re-distric-
ted this State for Congre-smen last winter,
and by the most shameful "gerrymander-
ing" ever attempted in the country, it was
expected that nearly all the Congressmen
from the State could be elected BY the DEM
ocrats, but the result Of Tuesdays voting
shows that by all their disreputable gerry
Wandering they have not been able to gain
more than two, or possibly three members.
The result shows that the people have
not lost confidence in the honor, integrity
and patriotism of the Republican party,
and that while the Republicans discuss par
ty issues and questions of party policy
among themselves with the broadest free
dom and severely criticIse the conduct OF
their own officers whenever they think it
necessary, they have no disposition to look
TO the Democracy for those reforms which
can be better affected through the Republi-
can party. The people believe that the
party which saved the country can still he
trusted to govern If
