Made a Difference.
Detroit Free Press.1


Saturday forenoon a young man of
about twenty, nearly enveloped in a linen
dusler, was wandering through the De-
troit City Hall with his Mary Ann, and
he was several times overheard to say:
"Mary, I'd die for you-would for q
fact
After seeing the various rooms, he left
her ON the steps while he hunted around
for place to buy soda-watcr. In cross
ing the street he was run into by Il vcloc,
ipede, and he got up yelling like an In
dian The officer on duty at the hall ran
down and asked him if he was hurt
Hurt! I'm all mashed to kindlings!'
was the reply.
but heard you say you were willing
to die for the girl in the gray dress up
theye.''
II don't kecr penny for what ye
heardn' exclaimed the young man. as he
danced around on one leg. Il want you
to understand that there's just as much
difference tween dying for a gal you love
and collidin' with 4 two-wheeled sulky as
there is tween a three-cent mouth organ
and a brass band of angels! l want to

It Is hard matter to learn much of the
internal workings Of general courts mar
tial as the military are usually very reti-
cent in such matters. Still THE TRIBUNE
has CLEANED an item concerning the court
now in session at Fort Lincoln.
1t is well known that Col. French, of
the s everth Cavalry and Lieut.. Bronson,
OF the Sixth Infantry. have been ordered
before this court for trial. In the case of
the former officer it is understood that the
trial hangs fire owing to the absence of
important witnesses for the defense, and it
is hardly probable that the case can reach
an early conclusion. s
In the case of the latter officer, although
not much is known at present, yet from
certain rumors it is believed that serious
objections are being raised by the defense
against a speedy trial. .m-
Prominent among the understood rea-
sons is the absence OF several very impor>
tant witnesses, and the difficulty attend.
ant upon their travelling at this season.
At present writing the court is not in ses-
sion owing to the sickness of one of Its
members.

obtained a license in Pocahnntas county.
The girl lived just over the line in Calhoun

the ceremony. All the preparations were
made, when preliminary to the ceremony
the minister asked to see the license.

was trouble, the minister refusing to pro

The Army Bill.

In a letter to friend Ben Butler thus
discusses the measure for the reurganiZa-
ton Of the army:
BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 2, 1S79.-DEAR SIR
/ am so pressed for time that can say but
a word about the army rco1 ganization. In
the fist place, it is a bill to abolish the
constitutional Office Of secretary of war.
Second, it is a bill to make the gcneral-in-
chief the despot of the army. Third. it is
bill to enable the Providence tool COM
pany to sell the large number of m,askets
which they have on hand to the United
States government Fourth, it is to turn
over the army of the militia Of the United
States to private contractors without any
uniformity Of guns, equipments, or ammu-
nition, leaving that to be settled by the
caprice or fancy of each State. do not

l have already stated enough to insure my
hearty opposition in congress and out.

HaZeu's Position.

letter to one of the editors of the Dcadwood
Times: r.
CINCINNATI. O., Jan.4, 1S79-My DEAR
Mr. ScoTr. have to thank you for your
favor of the 9th ult., and the newspaper
slip. As to the unfortunate Stanley bust
ness. none can regret it more than myself.
But am driven to require public scrutiny
ofhis acts. Withsut provocation, either OF
rivalry or personal act, Gen. Stanley, for
seven years inspired by some-to nae un-
knewn-motive, has sought to wrong me,
and stain me as an officer and man, till
new common decency requires that his
conduct shall be examined. l have nei-
ther sought it nor wished it. but since he
has courted it, and put me in a position
that must act, he must now abide the
consequences of his own acts Very truly,
W. B. HAZEN.

ATTENTION, CONTRACTORS.
why Are Net the Indian Goods For
ssEa- warded

The solving Of the Indian question ap-
pears no nearer successful termination
than ever. Abuses, the most glaring,
creep out every day. Not the least among
the many which have been discovered in
this immediate neigbborbood, is ono
which should call for summary action on
the part of the Indian Bureau. On an ex-
animation of the freight houses at the
Landing, any one may see tons upon tons
of Indian goods, received at this point
during last fall, destined for the up-river
agencies. and comprising clothing. med
ical supplies. machinery, etc, etc: the
acquisitions for which, it is learned from
some OF the agents, were put in as far
back AS last April. Many Of these goods
the Indians are actually suffering for, cs.
pccially the medicines and clothing; yet
here they lay IN the Bismarck freight
houses and will lay until the opening of
river navigation iii the spring, or say for
four months yet to come. Tbo feariully
cold weather which has existed here must
damage more or less the medical supplies,
and certainly render soMc of them useless,
incu,ring a heavy loss AS these are the
articles which the govern ment pays the
highest prices for OH contract, and which
should be sent forward immediately. it is
hard to say where the blame for this sorry
state of affairs exists but exist it does,
most emphatically. the goods now here
are destined eventu ally for the Lemhi,
Grow, Blackfeet, Fort Bclknap, Fort
Bcrthold, and 9th er agencies It is also
said that the freig gbt1 houses at Sioux City
contain large arlounts OF Indian goods,
under the same circumstances. 1t has
been stated that large part OF these goods
were received during the month Of De
cember last, for shipment up the river.
which the veriest idiot would know was
frozen nearly solid weeks before. The
railroad agent ut Bismarck has stated that
a few years ago goods arrived here the
same way and at his own expense he had
the medicines stored in a frost proof place,
the bills for which he settled out of his
own pocket. and he yet awaits reimburse
ment therefor. With such an existing
state Of affairs it is hardly reasonable to
SUPPOSE that his patriotism would induce
hirl to protect the goods under similar
circumstances afterwards and events have
p.ovcd that he didn't. Inspector Ham
'nond would undoubtedly find rich field
for examination, were his footsteps TO tend
this way soon.

The kellogg-Spofford case was re-
opened by the democrats in Congress af-
ter it had been once heard and decided on
its merits. This course, says the New
York Times, which was contrary to all
precedent, was undoubtedly suggested by
the probable need which the party will ex-
perience by another wear of Mr. Kellogg's
seat, in order to preserve any majority
whatever in the Senate. The pretext for
it was that new testimony had been dis
covered, which had put an entirely differ
ent face upon Mr.. Spoffords title. So far
the testimony has proved more decidedly
NEW" to the contestant than he could
have imagined. One witness who on Fri
day had sworn to facts intended to he quite
damaging to Senator Kellogg acknowl-
edged. on Saturday, that he expected to
make 81 800 out of the cease" Another
witness bluntly insisted that an affidavit al
legged to have been made by him and pro-
duced by the contestantwas forgery, and
testified that he had received money for
voting for Spofford.' It seems that one of
the devices of the representatives of
Character and Property" as Senator
Hampton calls them, in Louisiana, was to
strike" the famous Lottery Company of
that State for $40, 900 by threatening to re-
peal its charter. 1t was this fund, appar-

ing enough members of the Packard Leg

body. 1t does not look now as if Mr..

The Aroostook North Star, which sup
ported the greenback ticket last year. and
whose editor is i'm Gov. Garcelon's Coun-
ell, has the following editorial in the last
issue:
Eve are told that the greenbackers and
democrats in Penobscot last year entered
into an arrangement whereby the Sheriff
should be elected If he would allow liq-
uor to he sold in Bangor under proper re-
striction. The recent order from the Gov
ernor to the Sheriff gives color to the re-
port. If liquor is sold in Penobscot coun-
ty 50 freely that the Governor has deemed
it necessary TO order it stopped we must
conclude there is something wrong We
have not given these rumors any credence
heretofore. for we could not think the
Sheriff would allow an open violation of
the prohibitorv, or any other law; much
less would he do so because politicians de-
manded it. If it should prove true that
any such tacit understanding was entered
into between the Sheriff and others. it
would be ample cause for all good men TO
refuse their support to a party that gets
votes by such disgraceful trades. The
greenback party nor any other party, can
afford to array itself in opposition to the
prohibitory of Maine. If the voters of
Maine don't like the law, let them seek its
repeal, but 50 long as it'supon our statute
books it must be obeyed.''
