Jones was ordered from Fort Laramie to
detail duty. tstha department headquarters
ia this city about seven months ago. There
was nothing out Of the regular routine of the
duty he performed in the office Of the adju-
tant general of the department until about
Eve weeks ago,swhen being informed by
telegraph ofthe death of his father, q whole
aale druggist in Memphis, he went home on
leave. He returned to Omaha, having been
absent . little over two weeks, and he
brought back with him the sum of $4,000 in
cash. He said he would receive the balance
of a fortune of Sl50,000 left him by his
father as soon as the estate had been legally
acted upon.
He went on a regular high old spree,
spending his money lavishly. He, too,
boarded at the Omaha house, and becoming
attached to a servant girl there, he bought
her a diamond ring, for which he paid over
500. He bought himself a very costly
gold watch. fine chain, and was intoxicated
with the most expensive vine every day.
He finally strayed away from the young
lady q worthy young person as We are in
formedl to the company Of bawdy women
and sporting men. He carried a check
book with him, and gave checks for sll the
debts he contracted. On one occasion the
the young lady referred TO above went RICH,
into one Of these dens of vice and brought
Jones out. In six days he had checked out
$1,000 from one bank in this city.
Jones was finally relieved from duty at
the headquarters, and was sent to Omaha
barracks. 1t is believed that every dollar
of the S., he brought from Memphis less
than three weeks ago, has been spent.

have been elected gov, rnor had il not been for

boring men by their employers. The NJ ississippi
plan of bull doing is much more honorable and
far more brave; that is done with shot gun and
two men can play at that. The Massachusetts,
plan is 10 work upon the laboring mans fears that
his wife and children will starve during the hard
winter that is coming, which is simply knavsh,
cowaidly and dishonorsble and yet it is done by
men who claim to be honorable men, openly adj
vocated in the newspapers and a circular was
printed IN this city, which would have been dis
tributed II had not fou md it out and exposed 1t
beforehand, calling upon the employers to exer-

pioyes to make them vote against me.
General Butler also said be is not going out of
politics, and says the greenback party holds the
balance of power in the next congress- aud instead
Of Just going out is just coming into power.
He strongly condemns Hayes administration

With regard to the Tribune cipher dispatches
Butler SAYS he knows they have not got the de-
spstches they pretend 10 have, but possibly they
may have copies of some of them. As to the cor
RICHNESS OF the trans atoms, he had no opinion,
but says all originals are in safe keeping.

Salisbury argues that the award made by the

any other subject woatever; that the questions
that may Use touching the regulations OF rights
and privileges OF the respective parties, under the
treaty of Washington, can be equitably settled by
the high contracting parties, in accordance with
the letter and spirit Of the treaty itself.
The award Of the commission he holds to be
final and binding. 1t was so intended by the au-
thority under which the commission was credited.
ing the decision OF the commission, and to admit
such principle would be to declare in adva De
the absolute failure of all attempts to arbtrste be-
tween disputants of any parties possessing rights
under the treaty. who have been made TO suffer
damage or loss by reason of unlawful acts.
Such damage or loss may form proper subject
for discussion and arbitration under the treaty
but grievances of this kind should not be permit
