The Indiana Democrats have got tired
of carrying their State by round majori-
ties and seeing the Republicans get off
with most Of the Congressman. Having
the control of the next Legislature, the
Democrats have already irtimated that
they will give the counties a general
shaking up next winter and bunch up a
few more Democratic districts. In the
way of gerymander the Republicans
have taught the Democrats some very
bad tricks.

IHE Republican attempts to delude its
readers into believing that the Republi-
can ticket will be elected and Mr.. Clark
be the next Sheriff of New Castle county.
1t relies on carrying Wilmington, Chris
tiana, Red Lion, Mill Creek and ST.
Georges Hds. 1t is hardly worth while
TO follow the assertions of that paper.
1t was equally sanguine that Mr.. Gala
CHER would be elected Mayor: but he
was beaten by over 600 votes. He GOT
more votes here than Mr.. Clark will yet
in November. Then the Republican was
again sanguine that the Assessor in the
southern District, Mr.. John johnson. a
very worthy and popular gentleman,
could be elected, but he did not get
enough votes by 7l6; Mr.. Hughes GOT
81, and Mr.. johnson 1862; and the Re
pHbttcdIt laughed at us because we said
Mr.. George G. Ward would be elected
Assessor in the Northern District, that
always went Republican. But here again
the Republican was without information
and totally ignorant Of what it was pre-.
dieting, and the GAZETTE was right
The vote stood for Mr.. Ward, Dem, GGt
and for Mr.. Agnew, Rep, 351; Ward,
majority 315. And to show that neithe,
Mr.. Hughes or Mr.. Ward ran ahead O.
their tickets, the Democrats also electe,
all the Inspectors except one in thes,
districts.
Now, we carried this county two year
ago with Wilmington against us, an,
when the Republicans had all the judge
in the upper wards where they voted al
the negroes who came up with fraudu
lent receipts, and it is simple nonsens
for the Republican to be thus attemptin,
to delude its readers after the Democrat
have carried the city by such great ma
jorities.

All this vast expenditure was made in
the interest of bondholders, who, under
the law creating the debt, have no legal
claim whatever to rt ceive dollar in
gold or silver. The exchange from legal
tenders to coin was the result of procured
legislation. Consequently, not only the
five hundred millions which We're the
direct result of this transformations, went
into their pocket, but the Treasury paid
ont nearly hundred millions more to
put up their value still higher If there
is any other record of legislation and ed.
minirtration in the direct interest of n
special class like this, il has escaped o,lr
notice. And with all our strong convic-
tions for honest and sound constitutional
money, as not only just but pohtic, " e
are bound to say that the authors of this
system have provoked much of the re-
sentiment that is now exhibited every.
where.

THE SEVENTH CAVALRY FIGHT.

DcadW0Od lines, lotil.
n. N~ewbanks, of Rapid City, arrived in
town this forenoon and called at the Times
office Immediately upon his entrance into
the camp, and like every well regulated cit
izen Of the Hills should do, gave lis the fol-
lowing interesting Indian news:
On Sunday evening a short time before
sunset a band of Indians were seen to cross
the Box Elder creek. about twelve miles
below Rapid, on the Pierre road, in a north
erly direction. 1t Is thought that they were
the runaway Cheyennes On the previous
day a small party Of scouts arrived at the
crossing Of the Cheyenne, from the bad
lands south Of there, and reported the Sew
en,h cavalry surrounded by Indians. The
soldiers at that place Immediately went to
the rescue of their comrades. The scouts
said that the Seventh was in a bad box, and
if they got on, it would be by a scratch. 1t
would be by a remarkable fatality if the
reds should gobble this remnant Of Clusters
old regiment, and il view Of the above facts.
which we are assured are reliable, we would
not be very much surprised to hear Of such
a result at any hour.
A soldier just in from Camp Sturgis this
afternoon confirms the report above given
regarding the Seventh cavalry fight in the
bad lands, and says a number were killed
and wounded. THIS information, we under.
stand, was officially received at the Bear
Butte military headq 1arters to-day.

Correspondence Dcadwood lines

Correspondence Dcadwood Times.
The Pierre mail came in tonight, and
from the carrier we learn that the two COM
panies of infantry that passed here a few
days ago, are in the vicinity Of Grindstone
buttes, temporarily encamped there, patrol
ling the road from there to the river, and
that the Seventh cavalry had passed on south
of the Pierre road. Al Tom Madden's
ranch on the Cheyenne river, he was ,old
that a runner had como in and reported q
fight IN Jackson creek, south of there, be-
tween the Seventh cavalry and the Spotted
Tail Indians. This story is probably . lit
tic fshy.
To night the town is excited over the In.
dian question. A public meeting has been
held. and everybody was there TO take some
measure TO protect the town and vicinity.
DR.. Pierce, a noted man here, an old, expe-
rienced Indian fighter, has been placed in
full command. and has gone to work organ
ling the fighting % %terial by getting il in
shape. Under his direction a chain Of rife
pits will be made, extending round the
town-some have been made, and tomorrow
will see them all completed. A rifle and
6re-proof, large enough 10 hold the women
and children, will be built IN the ceetrs Of
