upon things it is ignorant of, it will at
least be honorable. for We cannot again
notice paper that overlooks such little
matters"
Our offense which that sensitive edit
or terms the ''dishonorable Journalism"
consisted as he says in emitting the fol-
lowing sentence from the quotation we
made from the Standard upon which
quotation we made our comments and
reasoning. Here is the omitted sen-
tence. "The outbreak must first have
taken place before he could move those
troops mere suspicion of trouble not
being sufficient in army regulations to
warrant such extreme and expensive
measures"
The quotation which we did make
contained statement Of distinct propo-
sitions or what he termed facts, the
logical and natural conclusion from
which, if they had been true, we drew
in our comments and nothing more.
Now the omission we there made and
which that sensitive editor considers the
''snap of the period" contains two dis
tinct propositions, thefrst ofwhich is not
true, to-wit: "The outbreak must
first have taken place before he could
move these troops" It is not true, in
fact at anytime that the commander of a
division Of the army cannot in an Indi-
an country, move his troops before an
outbreak has actually taken place, and
every army officer knows it is not true,
and it was not true in the case of How
ard, even if it had before been true in
any case as we will here show. Jan.
9th 1877, almost months before the
outbreak, orders were issued to J. B.
Monteith, Indian Agent of Nez Perces,
to cause the rowing bands of the Nez
Perces to be removed upon the reserva.
ton. In this order occurs the follow
ing paragraph:
"You will also communicate with
the military authorities of that depart
ment, who will be requested to occupy
the Wallowa valley in the interest of
peace, and request them to aid you in
enforcing whatever policy you may
with them agree upon for the adjust
ment of all difficulties that may arise be.
tween the settlers and these rowing In
dians. Application has this day been
made to have the military aid you in
all reasonable demands for the establish
ment of peace in the Wallowa valley
and other localities now disturbed by
the movements of these Indians, who
roam over the public domain at WILL"
Howard received the order here al
luded to, early in January, from head
quarters at Washington, and yet you
say thcr0 cOuld De no movement OF
troops before an outbreak. There was
no outbreak in the Wallowa Valley,
nothing but suspicion of an outbreak,
and yet orders were for the troops to
occupy the Wallowa valley in the inter-
est of peace, were given, and after
months delay the valley had two COM
panies sent there, but no Indians we're
there at the time. The order to Mon
teith was to have members of the tribe
who were on the reserve, visit Joseph
and apprise him of the purpose Of the
government and try to pursuade them

animation and election as highly en-
ropruring. lie will run on his general
merits and not rs a Murphyite particular
Il, lie doesn't believe in playing on
L.rp of one string in such matters. lie
d.ims that lie saved money to the city

tb,t he enforced the laws and made de-
,,aey and order respected, and that on
hi, taste Of his quality" he now rests
L, claims for n reelection. Oh"
We interogated the General as to the
present. temperance status Of Steubenville,
and found him somewhat sad and discour,
astl on this topic. With sigh he owned
10 that Steubenvillc had gone back on
oil water, and that, liket the man in
shpture, her last state was about seven
bEl worse than her first. This we sus-
,etet from the beery odor OF the news.
nEes up there OF late, and the total ab-
Knee ofany communication for so long
saOn from the charming pen of the Sec
mary Of the Woman's Band OF Street
Missionaries. The General is convinced,
nl 50 are we, that nothing less than his
wn herculcan shoulder pressed hard
v1inst the wheel will extricate Steuben-
Vile from therut Of It's present degeneracy.

ON market house and the town may yet
amount to something.
