BISMARCK, d. r., Oct 24.-It Was definitely
learned by the arrival Of Mrs, Gen. Miles and
officers from Miles command that the Chey-
ennes crossed the Yellowstone on the thir-
teenth instant, II miles east of Fort Keogh.
-Four companies of the Second Cavalry were
dispatched the following day with the faint
hope of capturing them in the buffalo fields
south Of the Missouri river. 1t is sarcast-
caIly commented upon that Indians could
travel all the way from the Indian Territory
to the Yellowstone before Gibbon could send
dispatch to Miles to intercept them, and it
is hinted that Gibbons jealousy Of Miles led
to his neglect.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 2f-The tornado which
swept with such terrific violence over the
chesapeake yesterday morning carried with
it destruction and loss of life. The full extent
will be difficult to estimate as the coast is re-
ported strewn with wrecks from North Point
to Cape Henry. The most disastrous event
so far reported is the loss Of the steamer Ex-
press Capt. Barker, Of the Potomac trans
porthtlOn line, with nearly oil on board. Capt.
Barker says the Express left Baltimore at
o'clock Tuesday afternoon with freight and
passengers for Washington and other points
on the Potomac River.

waves broke clear over her upper deck.
About 3 o'clock her joiner work began giving
way and efforts were made to head her for
the shore, but the storm was 50 furious that
1t was impossible to stand against 1t, and the
rolling OF the boat prevented the engines
from working fast enough to keep steerage
way on her.
Shortly after 5 o'clock there came terrific
crash. The joiner work had started from the
stanchiOnS. The passengers and crew had
hardly time to realize what had happened be-

Mrs. Gaines Alligator story.

Mrs. Gaines, surrounded by an inter-

the hotel, was laughing and carrying on
as merrily as girl of sixteen, telling
strange anecdotes of her most strange

credulous stranger was going down the

himself in the pilot-house and kept up

time we were running race, and every
thing was excitement. To our surprise
the other boat passed. "Throw over
the lines said the Captain" The lines
were thrown overheard and the alliga-
tors took the lines and they just made
tracks, and they shot ahead of the other
boat and run our boat down the stream
so fast that in FIVE minutes we were out

"Never told lie in my life. Another

worked and worked, but she didn't

and drew us off as the skin ON a boiled

OUR Treasury authorities have decij-
ed that the expenses Of the special
Senate Committee to investigate the
Southern election frauds cannot be paid
because there has been no appropria-
tion mad" for that purpose, and the un-
expected balance on hand for previous
inquiries of a similar kind cannot BE-
used 10y the new committee, except un-
der resolution Of Congress authorizing
the transfer Of the moneys specifically
In consequence Of this decision the com
mittee has adjourned until the 10th Of
January. The suggested resolution can
not possibly be passed before the end
Of January, if at all, and there will
not be time left for the committee to
make a proper investigation or an ac-
ceptable report on the subject in hand.
Indeed, there are many members OF
both parties who think that the pro
posed investigation has fallen inane;
that it is not popular or desirable, and
that it will be abandoned.

The latest thing that the Democrats
have struck on to cripple the nation
now on the eve of resumption, is tina
Secretary Sherman has been favorinl
a National bank at New York anc
another at Sandusky, Ohio, by allowing
them to use millions of government
cash as repositories without paying in
terest thereon. These enemies not only
of resumption but of every other sue,
eessful measure that is beneficial to the
country, only show their opposition to
such measures because they have been
brought to a successful issue by the Re
publicans None have been bowling
louder against Secr etary Sherman than
the Gazette of this city and were we to
believe that paper, John Sherman
should be in the penitentiary, instead
Of in position where he is safely guild
ing the nation on to an era OF sound
financial health and prosperity. See
retary Sherman however has stopped
to listen to these quibblers aud ohiec-
tors, simply to show how untenable il
the position they have assumed, and
how easily their arguments and charges
are demolished. He says that he can
prove that he has never favored
any bank, but that he has often beer
favored by the Philadelphia, New York
and Boston banks. He has large trans
actions with them, and they frequently
hold considerab sums OF money tha

"ONLY GIVE Us the control of our Ow n
States" is what the .x-rebels in the
South asked, and III return they prom
istd to show clean record Of goverl
unent in contrast with the carpet la
governments. Well their request W
granted, and Louisiana was hauieG
over to the tenher lnerci-s of Nichols
& Co., and even before it was exper t. ..
the results are beginning to be maGt
manifest. From a Washington de
spatch in Thursdays New York Times
some idea may be CLEANED of LDuisian
Democratic iinanciering. 1t is show
that when Governor Nichols was i'll
lucted into Office, by the instruction
Of 1876. 7, he found the State debt limit
I'd t. $l5, ,OL0, 900 by the Constitutes ,
all arrearages settled, and $500, 600 il
the hands of the fiscal agent Of the
5tatr-a situation which had been
brou ht about by the skill and int"g
rity Of the much abused "carpet- bag
government of iMr. Kellogg. Durio4
the fifteen months that have passed un
der the Nichols ssurpation, the Stat
debt has been increased, the balanc.
left by Governor Kellogg has been spent
the Treasury has been emptied, the
State credit has been seriously i'm
paired, and there is grave danger that
there will be a default on the January
interest. Nothing can morally Justify
an insurrectiOn but its resulting in bet
ter government. Nothing can add t,
its infamy more than bad government
Judged by this simple standard tn,
Nichols inSurrection is doubIv worth :
of condemnation. This will afford the
Eury Evenlng another opportunity o
showing how bad a man Kellogg was
and how pure and good Nichols is.
