Mystery still Unsolced.
caledonia Cour;er.l


We have no definite information to give
this week relative to the mysterious disap-
pearance of Nicholas Poncelet, who has been
absent from his home near Hokah nearly
three weeks. There was no truth in the
report published last week to the effect that
his body had been found. Three brothers of
the missing man are making diIigent search
and offer $25 for the recovery of his body. A
most careful search has been made between
La Crescent and Hokah, but no trace has been
discovered. The brothers, as yet. have been
unable to find the Indians whose statement
that they had found the body buried in the
mud with the hands protruding, gave rise to
rumor which caused the report to be pub
lished last week. A tramp by the name of
John Evendorf was arrested at Hokah last
Friday on suspicion of being the murderer.
The prisoner was taken before Justice
Keller, and when asked if guilty, he an
swered no, and denied knowing anything as
to the whereabouts of the body. Evendorf
was brought to this place and lodged in the
county Jail to await examination, which takes
place tomorrow Friday). The prisoner is
said to be a hard looking fellow and claims
to be about SO years of age. At present be
is obliged to go on crutches, as he is suffering
from the wound made by pistol ball that
entered his left leg. This he claims to have
been caused By the accidental discharge of a
revolver, but his story about the whole mat
ter is doubted.

Gen. Sherman Pr0nounces His Ipse Di1it
The Indians Must Be Governed by the
Far Department.
Washington Special (Nov. 22) to Chicago
Times.
Gen. Sherman, in an interview, has the
following to say upon the subject of the
transfer of the Indian bureau to the war de-
partment, about which there promises to be
sucn bitter fight this winter: s.Such a
transfer would entail great deal of extra
responsibility and care on the ar
my, and consequently it is not
desired. The whole matter, how
ever, rests on this proposition-either the
Indian bureau must come to the war depart
ment or the army must be turned over to
the interior department to protect the In
dian bureau. The protection of this bureau
is not the sole duty of the army, as is claim
ed by the interior. Such protection is sim
ply an incidental duty of the army. The
present plan of operation is costly one.
Here we had built Fort Sill, at an expense of
about $4,000, to keep the Kiowas quiet and
permit Indian agents to unmolestedly draw
their salaries, when the Indians were re-
moved, and now it is desired to move the
tort also. 1t is not 80 easy to take up fort
and plant it here and there at the whims of
any set of men. 1t is, besides, costly ex-
pertinent, and may be said 10 be
plan to cost the war depart
ment hundred thousand dollars worth of
property In order that an Indian Office agent
may peacefully and safely draw his salary of
$1,000 or $1,000 year. This Fort Sill
business is only one instance of the policy
which is likely to involve loss to the gov;
eminent of millions, not to speak of its eff
feet IN making army officers the peripatetic
police of civil Indian agents, who are in
many cases selected for no other reason than
that OF political e1pediency. say police
Indian warfare is peculiar. You cannot
head off these Indians on the plains with any
more certainty than you can find and catch
a particular vessel on the high seas. The
Indian Office practices its peculiar policy on
the Indian, and when he INDUCES in an
outbreak it begs the army to protect it. At
ter the army, at the sacrifice OF life and
money, restores peace, and puts the Indian
back on his reservation, the question is
naturally put to the Indian agent: what
are you going to do now' and his answer is:
I want you to stay around here for awhile
and protect me- This the army does till,
after season, the Indian seems quiet, the
troops leave, and the red men break out
again, when the play must be re-enacted.
The Indian Office cannot control the Indians;
the army can. One has not tho power; the
other has"

for 100000.
Philadelphia Special to Chicago Tribune
Social and political circles have been all
agog over a suit just entered in the United
States district court of this city by young
lawyer, Frank F. Brightly, son of
Frederick G. Brightly, editor of "Purdon's
Digest" and one of the ablest lawyers of the
city bar. He married, some time ago, a
daughter of William B. Mann, prothonotarv
of the court of common pleas and ex-dis-
trict-attorney, and has lived with his father
in-law and occupied an Office with him. The
latter is one OF the most prominent poll
ticians in the city, and lives in an elegant
mansion on Girard avenue. A few weeks
ago young Brightly left the house of his
father-in-law, and a few days ago suit was
entered in the United States district court by
his father and Pierce Archer as attorneys-a
plea of trespass vie ct arnis--in which
Brightly sues-to recover 100000 from Gov
ton of his wife, and enticing her away from
home. The bill charges that, on the 1st of
March last, and between that time and July
force and arms assaulted and i'll treated
Mary Caroline Howard, then and still
being the wife of said plaintiff, and then
and there carnally debauched and knew her.
A repetition of the otfense is charged at New
port on the 18th of July, and between the
9th and 21st of the same month. The charge
is then made general that the assault was re-
peated at sundry and divers times and places,
until the commencement of the suit, and,
lastly, that he s:unlawfuliy and Justly
kissed and embraced her, the said wife of the
said plaintiff, and undermined and destroyed
the love which Heretofore she had enter
tanned for the said plaintiff, and then and
there unlawfully and unjustiy persuaded,
procured, sedueed, and enticed her, the said
wife of the said plaintiff, to leave him, the
said plaintiff, and to live apart from him. to-
wit, at the county aforesaid, on Sept. s, 1873,

keep the matter quiet, and this is the first
publication of it. No answer has yet been

JCincinnati Commercial

Cincinnati Commercial.1
A reporter of the Commercial called upon
e1-secretary Cox, who has come to Cincin-
natl to reside, for an expression of his opin-
ions on public questions.
''Is there not danger that Congress vii
plunge into sectional controversy
South and solid North-to tho neglect of
public buslness?'
There is always danger that most time
Will be occupied by topics on which political
feeling is easiest aroused. but I hope that
economic questions have such a hold on the
public interest now that they will mainta in
their place in discussion till the popular iudg-
ment is settled and made irrevocable.''
"What will become of the Potter investi-
cation, and will the Florida cipher kilograms
be oyerhauled and opportunity given the ne
gotiators for explanation?"
Il have no intimation what course the
majority of the committee may take, but it
seems plain to me that one of two things
must be done. Either the committee must
stop where 1t is, make no report at all, and
SO confess that its failure to make campaign
capital ends its functions, OF it must go not
only into the Florida cipher dispatches, but
into those matters back OF the action of re-
turning boards which it refused to examine
in the GUNNER
"Do you regard the Southern policy of the
President as a failure, and believe that the
general or the Republican party interest re-
quires changer
"Not at all. have never understood than
policy to be anything else than the recog-
milton of the fact that the Southern States
were at President Hayes Inauguration in
such fully-restored exercise of the rights of
all the States under the constitution, that
the administration could only act in respect
to them in the same way, and under the same
legal forms as control its relations to the
Northern States. Whatever hope there may
have been that those things regarded as con-
cliatory should produce any effect, was
based on the probability that the .Republi-
cans in Congress would share the Presidents
wish. 1t was evident from the meeting of the
Forty-ffth Congress that the party leaders
wore determined that the hope should fail,
and it therefore failed, of course. With its
failure came a necessary pastponement for
an indefinite time of the division of the
Southern whites into two parties, which
would be the only salvation from a rule of
intimidation and ballot-boS stuffiing there.
1t sounds absurd to anyone who has been
even little behind the scenes to speak of
that as the Presidents failure"
"Have you been thinking of the next Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency. and
found a man who would fill the office &C
cording to the rules of civil service reform?''
sit is too early to speculate on that SUBJ
ject; but if the r publicans are looking
about for representative party man who
embodies the best elements of character,
trustworthiness and ability, they have, in the
natural order of succession, man who ought
to be acceptable. I mean, of course, the
Vice President, Mr.. Wheeler"

RESUMPTION.
The Programme of the Treasury Depart
snenf-Coi,l on Hand.


anent-Coin Hand.
Washington Special (Nov. 25) to Chicago
Tribune.
There certainly will be no trouble for the
business community outside of New York
to obtain all the silver they want for Gus
toms purposes. Arrangements will be made
to furnish silver dollars to anybody through
the minis free of cost of transportation.
They can be obtained at any sub treasury or
government depository. Silver certificates
can also be obtained, and greenbacks
will be received for customs, SO that
the government will maintain al,
dollars at par throughout the coun-
try. Besides, said treasury official, the
coin necessities of the government for re-
sumption purposes are not as great as they
are generally supposed. There are now nom
lnally outstanding S346,6OO,000 greenbacks.
10 meet this the government has in its
vaults of coin absolutely available, deducting
all dues to private parties, $40, 100000.
There are also under control of the govern
ment at its repositories, which cannot be
presented for redemption, about $1OO,00O,-
600 in greenbacks. The smallest estimate
CT the amount of greenbacks lost aud
Will not be presented is S2O,000,000,
makinga total Of S26o,ooo,ooo. This leaves
the total sum to be provided FOR, not already
covered by the government, $50, 100000 in
greenbacks. There is no probability that
the $40, 100000 coin on hand will be ex-
hausted, much less that there will be any ne
cessiy to provide for the S86,ooO,O 900 not
now covered by coin in the treasury. Sup
pose that every inhabitant in the United
States for his own use retains So legal ten
der, that would prevent any demands being
made upon the treasury for the remaining
$86,O00,Oo0.
AS the day for resumption approaches, the
treasury officials who know most about the
subject appear to have increased confidence
in the ability of the government to resume.

Better Mail Facilities Needed.

The rapid growth of railroad enterprise is
well illustrated By the fact that nearly five
hundred miles of territory now traversed by
railroad is still supplied with mail by stage and
postrnan. From Algona to Sheldon, from
Glencoe to Montevideo. from Melrose to Al
exandrla, from Crookston to st. Vincent the
stage coaches are still carrying the mails
though the cars are running The trouble
is that there IS no appropriation for mail
service by rail to the new points, and it is
important that Congress should take imme-

n. The Erentng.

MONTREAL, Nov. 29-The elements were
adverse tonight to the success of the
illumination. The wind was too high for
the gas to burn brilliantly. However the
display was highly creditable to the city, and
speaks well for the loyalty of the inhabitants.
The public buildings were deliberately pre-
pared to make a fine display. but only at
intervals, when the wind somewhat subsidized,
could the designs be seen in full. The bank
of Montreal was most brilliantly Illuminated;
over the entrance was magnificent arch of
jets, with the word welcome in Gaelic. The
whole front of the building gIittering with
the light, the masonic pillars standing out in
bold relief. The fine new post Office was
brilliantly lighted, crown being in the
center, with the letters I'D. L.' on either
side. The city fathers have been far from Law
ish in their expenditures on the city hall.
The display was confined to transparencies
OF the queen, Marquis of Lorue and Princess
Louise. Either side of tho court house was
deliberately lighted up and the Consolidated
Bank of British North America and the Mer-
chants bank made a fine illumination, and
attracted the attention of the multitudes
promenading the streets. A vast number of
stores as well as private houses were orna-
mented with Chinese lanterns in very pic
turesque manner. The Windsor hotel was
one blaze of light.
A noteworthy incident in the proceedings
to-day occurred during the procession. In
turning into Victoria square the crowd was
so dense and enthusiastic that the horses in
the vice regal carriage became unmanageble,
when the people had them embarrassed and
drew the carriage with ropes at a rafting
pace the remainder of the journey. This
was a novel proceeding to both the marquis
| and his royal consoit, but they evidently en-
| joyed the new mode of locomotion.
Between and 8 o'clock the sMarquis7 of
Lorne and Princess Louise took drive

On Beaver Hall hill they were met by a fire
