The " GI0be;s" Contribution.

All news In connection with the Reno trial,
to commence to-day in Chicago, is of particu-
| lar and peculiar interest to st. Paul. Reno's
record of late years is pretty well known in
this community, and has had a partial ventila-
tion in our midst. The GLOBE, aware Of this
interest, has duly posted and grati6ed its
readers with all events happening in
regard to the affair. Yesterday st. Paul con-
| tributed a number of witnesses to the investi-
! cation in Chicago. They took the TAO train
For Chicago, a Jolly party, though bent on
mission to spoil or illumine American history.
The party were composed of Capts. Fred. W.
Benteen Thomas NJ. McDougall, Lieuts. Var

Porter Bismarck, late assistant surgeon United
| States army; Frank Grard, scout. Col. Smith
and Lieut. Mcguire, of Gen. Terrv's staff, were
| also Of the party. These last also parties
| to the issue at stake.

lures the assertion that there will be stand
| OFT IN the testimony given ito make history
in this affair. Col. Benteen is anti Custer; Nc
Dougall favorable to keeping Clusters gallant
| memory administrative others are evenly
balanced. The term anti-Custer is used adj
visedly. For no matter how the attempt may
be concealed the effort of Reno and friends
will be directed in his vindication to tarnizh
the memory and deeds of the gallant, brave
|
, of an old and disgraceful army ight-for years
confined to the Seventh regiment. So early
and long ago as the organization
ct the Seventh cavalry. feeling of enmity to
Custer was entertained by many of his regi-
ment; Others were warm ic his admiration.
| The feeling of both parties was fostered, until
the division in the regiment was marked and
! distinct. The bitterness of the controversy
can not be understood except by those idle
enough to cultivate it, and with nothing else
to engage their attention. The thought is sug-
gestive that regiment divided by such con-
tention would be useless The master spirit of
Custer, in command, kept it in subsection.
The leader OF the Custer opposition was, at
first, Col. VIM. Thompson. He left the regi-
ment. His mantel fell upon the shoulders Of
! Col. Fred. W. Benteen.
The opposition to Custer were in Reno's COM
mand at the battle of the Little Big Horn, aud
survived; the supporters of Custer went gall
lantly to their death, with their commander
lighting bravely and desperately at their head.

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-Three or four of the
court which is to meet tomorrow TO inquire
into the charges preferred against Major Reno,
arrived in this city from the West this after.
noon. number of witnesses are also en-
route hither, but may not reach the city be-
fore Monday afternoon. Gen. Reno is at the
Palmer House, and awaits the converting Of
the court. In conversation with the GLOBE
reporter, Gen. Reno politely. but guardedly,
answered a few questions put to him in a
casual way. He was asked if he had formed any
idea of the strength of the enemy at the time
his command engaged them in battle.
He replied that the valley in front Of him was
swarming and that his force of 1l2 men was
overwhelmingly uutnumbered.
NOT NAN OF MY COMMAND WOULD HAVE
SURVIVED,
said he had we not changed position. The
enemy was not only in front, but on our left
and rear. They would have closed in on our
right and completed a circle in five minutes
more. Soldiers will not finch from duty SO
long as they can fight the enemy face to face,
but place them in position where they are as
liable to be shot down from behind as FIR m in
front, and they are at once disconnected and
unnerved, aid cannot do effective fighting.
l moved my command back where like man
crowded into corner. they could fight without
being shot in the back and but for that my
men would have
JARED THE SAME FATE AS CUsTERs.
In answer to the question whether Custer
was aware of his (Reno's) engagement with the
Indians, the general said:
He could see from the eminence from where
he halted for brief time, thas the Indians
were fighting my command, but he did not
come to my assistance. and had we not retreat
ed just as we did we would have been wiped
out.
In conclusion Gen. Reno said he was very
willing to have the court develop all the facts
in the case, and he would cheerfully abide by
its decision, but of one thing he was quite Ger
lain, namely, that if he ever did his whole duty
during his military career, it was at the battle
Of the Little Big Horn.

What is your opinion Of Mr.. Hayes and his

MIR. Hayes made mistake in appointing
Democrats to Office, thus making the party a
hybrid organization. 1t is not the idea on
which the government is based. 1t is the pre-
vailing idea of our people that the party is the
highest manifestation of the will of the maior-
lty until 1t proves failure, when it Is sup

Reasons Why the President will not
Call an Extra session of Congress.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-The pres
ident has abandoned the idea of call
ing another session of congress by
reason of three considerations. First
because he became convinced that
there was no longer any hope of a
break in the democratic ranks. which
alone could render possible the pas
sage of marshals appropriation bill
without riders. Second-Because it
was perceived that the object of en-
phasizing the positions taken by the
presidentand the democratic congress
respectively, on issue involved in the
present controversy could just as eff
ectually be attained by sending in to-
days special message Immediately
after the action of the house on the
vetoed bill; and, third-Because by
withholding any call for another ex-
ira session, the POSSIBILITY would be
averted of congress entering upon
further agitation of financial questions
and other general legislation. An in
innate adviser of the president in
forms your correspondent that this
third consideration was the one which
turned the scale and produced entire
unanimity in the final decision that
reached in the cabinet council at the
capitol only this afternoon.
