For once in the history of the democratic
house of representatives the caucus has fail
ed in its purposes and men have gone forth
from its atmosphere unawed by its behests.
This was the outcome Of the democratic
caucus which assembled at the national
capital on Friday for the purpose of devils
ing further means for overturning the will
of a majority Of the senate as expressed by
its action upon the army bill. In the course
of the caucus discussion upon this subject
its members gradually dropped away until
operations were brought to a termination
by the discovery that there wa no quorum
present. All through the session the de-.
mocratic party has held determined opposi.
tion to the army and in its caucus meetings
had Planned its practical destruction. But
the senate has firmly opposed this movement
and at the eleventh hour its will prevails
and in agathering ofarmy opposers no force
can be evoked to prevent the conference
from Adopting a report by which
the house practically recedes from it's posi-
tion and permits the senate dietum to stand
as the law. The army remains as it was,
the report of the committee having been
agreed to and signed.

UP THE YELLOWSTONE.

ON BOARD STR. GEN. SHERMAN
FORT CUSTER, NJ. r., May 90, '78. I

Mr.. ED1ToR.-Thinking a small item
from the Yellowstone would be acceptable
l will endeavor to give you an account
of our trip. We left Bismarck at 10 a. M,
May Sth destined. for the Yellowstone and
Big Horn rivers, arrived at Buford May
II, 1878, and was detained until Monday
having lost 20 hours by orders from the
commander of the post. We found the Vel
lowstone low and falling, passed the Gen.
Custer SO miles up the river with something
broken (she had left Buford ahead of us,5
arrived at Miles City s:15 May 18th at Z a.
M, arrived at Fort Keogh at 9:1O a. M,
being the first arrival of the season and II
days earlier than was ever known for a boat
to arrive there. Left at 5 p. n. the same
day for Fort Custer, a post located on the
Big Horn river q distance of fifty miles
from its conflux with the Yellowstone, and
1875 miles from Fort Keogh, arrived at Gus
ter May 10th at 10 .. m quickest time ever
known BY 81 daya. We found the Yellow
stone low above Keogh and the Big Horn
was very low, could only find In many
places % feet scant. Considering
the winds we have had and
low water I think the Sherman
can claim the best time on record. The
country is grand along the Big Horn, some
of the finest prairies ever seen, and now
while writing l can leok west at the Big
Horn mountains and see nov reported to
be from 10 to Is feet deep. Should a land
scape painter come in this part Of Montana
he could certainly zee enough to occupy his
entire time for ore summer at least. We
claim our time the best on record MS our
dates will show for themselves. Our time
from the mouth of the Big Horn to Custer
was 22} hours when it took most of the
boats last season from 3 to 8 days. We have
seen little game but have seen some elk,
buffalo, antelope and deer but they are thir-
ming out fast as the country is settling Up
rapidly. Last season there was only three
or four houses on the river between Keogh
and Custer, now there must be At least 100.
All good land is taken up by squatters,
many making preparations for farming
largely. At the mouth of the Big Horn
was camped 279 lodges of Grow Indians,
supposed to contain 10 to the lodge princi.

etc, and have in the aggregate over four
thousand ponies, of which neither love nor

elections OF the United States will
take place on the ensuing 9Th of
November. Full of CONSERVATION at
the plain handwriting on the wall
which, as palpably as at the feast
of Belshazzar, betokens disaster to
the Republican party, the leaders
Of that organization are now busily
engaged in spreading broadcast yet
one more Infamous caiumny
against Mr.. Tilden. They charge
him with an attempt to secure by
br bery, one Of the eleven electoral
votes OF Florida and Louisiana
which were all undoubtedly cast
for him by the people Of those
States. Mr. Tilden regulates the
charge with Indignation. He is
already on record with the noble
declaration that he might lose the
Presidency but he would not rattle
for it. 1t is really beneath
his dignity to answer a charge
so evidently inspired by par
tizan malignity as this
last. His Indignant denial
is not accepted as conclusive by
his enemies. They reverse the
i'm memorial rule of the English
common law that a man is to be
held innocent till he is proven
guilty, and hold that Mr.. Tilden is
guilty till he proves himself inno-
cent. We admit, like Topsy, that
we are desperately wicked, and we
should half like to hear that Mr..
Tiiden had recognized the necessi-
ty Of meeting the party of high
moral professions with its own
weapons. But we are in no danger
Of hearing that he had done so.

stumpers and newspaper men that,

they doubtless will, In time, that

grandmother, we shall not believe
