UNADULTERAT SUGAR IN CHI.
CAGD.

The golden chain that binds two willing
hearts is always supposed to be the SYM
Dol of a sweet durance, and when it has
been silvered over by quarter of cen
tury of fruitful connubial felicity, the
chain has lost nothing of its metallic
value. 1t only shows how in matrimony,
as in money, there should be an inter-
changeable, bimetallic currency. One
of the sweetest social events that Chicago
has experienced for these many years is
chronicled at length, as such events are
apt to be, in the newspapers of that city.
1t was the celebration of the twenty-ffth
anniversary of the marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. Sugar, which was done, as stated
by the lead-pencil Jenkinses, in a very
novel manner. A public hall was rented
for the occasion, at which the guests as
sembled in round numbers. After a
prayer and quartet song, speech was
made by a saccharine daughter of the
elder Sugars, whose remarks were ad-
dressed to her parents and brothers, and
"exhibited marked feeling" and were
concluded by the oratress and her
brother Dan. jointly crowning the ma

hooks show the remains of curb they are
as hard and Gallons as the flint of Water

teal horsemen need not be told that he is

EDITOR STATESMAN We have yet
another accident to report. 1t seems ;.s
though week could not pass without
somebody getting killed or smashed up.
This morning Mr.. Jas. A. Davis, one
of our enterprising livery men, was kicked
in the head by vicious horse. His skull
was literally smashed to pieces, and al
though there are some hopes Of his recov-
cry the chances are very slim: he is be-
ing attended by Drs. Boswell and Miller,
and could not. be in better hands. They
took fifteen pieces of his skull out this af
ternoon, the largest being over an inch
long and about an inch wide. They all
say they never saw any one get so smashed
up and live. Mr.. Davis became conscious
after they had removed the pieces of bone
some of which were pressing on the
brain, and says he does not suffer much
1t almost seems as though fate was against
that stable About two months since
MIR. Jones Mcconnell, one of our most re-
spectacle citizens, and partner of Mr..
Davis, died of consumption, and now Mr..
Davis is laying at Deaths door.
We are having very backward spring.
Rain and hail almost every day, yet the
farmers say that it is excellent weather
for gain, and that the crops will be large.

Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, May IA, 1879.


EDITOR STATESMAN 1t was q surprise
to all yesterday when the senate, by q
decisive vote, concurred with the house
in the proposition directing the secretary
of the treasury to use for the payment
of the arrears of pensions the eight or ten
millions of money in his vaults, held there
to redeem fractional currency long since
worn out. 1t was surprising, not because
there was any reasonable objection to
such a course, but because the vote
showed willingness to act upon financial
matters. So far as the pensioners are
concerned the vote is of no consequence,
as there is plenty of money in the treas
ury to pay them. That they are not paid
is the fault of the secretary Of the treas.
ury, or the secretary of the interior, or
both. The interest on bonds is the only
money that Secretary Sherman pays out
cherfully and and promptly; yesterday,
before the vote alluded to, Senator Bo tn
attacked the course of the secretary Wig
orously.
The proposition mentioned above was
part of the legislative appropriation bill,
and will of course share the fate of that
bill. Opinions differ as to what MIR.
Hayes will do when the bills goes to him ).
as it will in a day or two, but veto is
expected by pretty much everyone. The
veto of the army bill, after assurances
that convinced many democrats that the
bill would be approved, and the veto on
Monday ef-the Ladd bill. afteI renewed
and emphatic assurances of the same hnd
has created conviction that MIR. Hayes
has determined to- be governed by the
extreme elements of his party. At the
dictation of men like Chandler and Robe
SOIL he will, in all probability veto any
measure Of importance passed at the pres
ent session in relation to troops or civil
officers at the polls or to the repeal of the
jury test oath The truth is apparently
that MIR. Hayes, reversing the words
which, spoken in the house by his per-
sonal friends, secured his Inauguration,
is determined to rule over provinces,
not states.
The best speech so far made in the
senate on the republican side against the
legislative appropriation bill, was made
on Monday by Senator Window. He
stated briefly but plainly, all the objec-
tions which could be fairly argued against
the democratic demand for fair and intel
igent juries. He went out of his way,
of course, as all republicans do, to mis-
represent southern sentiment. He did
this, as the rest do, because all the argu-
ment is with the democrats, the republi-
cans have no hope of future except by
keeping alive the sectional feelings which
ought to have died ont long since. But
the senator is not as malignant or unfair
as most of his radical associates. His
friends claim that his speech which will
be circulated extensively, will greatly
strengthen him in his presidential chances
at the next radical convention. DEN.

. Howard and Gibb0n.

From the tenor of an article in the
April number of the american CatA0tae
Quarterly Rerie,c it is very evident that
Gen Gibbon is not an admirer OF Genao
o. Howard, for he intimates that Howard
at the commencement OF the Nez Perce
pursuit in 1877 wasted five precious days
at the start this ''precious" five days loss
of time has been explained over and over
again and no one knows better than Glib
bon that it was unavoidable from the tact
that the rations for the use of the troops
in their terrible march over the Lo Lo
trail did not come up in time II is fact
well known in army circles and those who
went with Howard in the pursuit, that the
military in Montana were to blame for
the delay in the capture of Joseph. They
had fourteen days notice before the Nez
Perces emerged into the Bitter Root val
lev, that they were coming that way, and
vet only corporal's guard under Capt.
Rawn WAS sent to intercept them, instead
of doing which they and the citizens let
them pass, red handed as they were, be-
cause forsooth they promised not to mo-
lest them in their journey up the Bitter
Root. Gibbon shows the ''serpent's tooth"
by his insinuations against Howard; he
has evidently forgotten that he and the
remnants of his gallant little band owe
their very existence to the man he now
decry's for had not Howard pushed on
with his best men and horses as soon as
he heard of the Big Hole fight, the fate
of Custer would have been repeated as
it was, the Indians sa@ the little band
headed 10y the "one-armed chief coming
DOWN the narrow valley before it emerges
into the Big Hole fiat, and thinking it was
the main body OF the command left the
field, and even their dead unburied. These
are the true facts for we were there, and
reflection on Howard is censure to every
man who took part in the pursuit of
Joseph.

ISDIlNS AGAIN.

Special dispatches to the STATESMAN
from Washington, Warren's Dlgglngs,
state that the Indians are raidlng on the
South Fork of Salmon river, fourteen
miles from Warrens. Two men named
Hugh johnson (BobtaiD and Peter Dorsey
are known to be killed ''Pony" Smead
arrived in camp on the % inst with his
family, and reported having seen mQeca-
sin tracts and smoke on the other side of
the river from where he lives. "Pony'
is rancher and not given to being ex-
cited about nothing. The party of In
dians are, without doubt, the remnant
OF band that made their escape from
the troops last SIMMER they followed UP
the Weiser, crossed over the divide to
the Payette, returned to Indian valley on
the Weiser again, stole several fine horses
and were followed by VIM Munday,
Three Fingered Smith, Groseclose, and
our old chum on the war path, Tom
Haley. All were led into ambush and
killed except Smith, who escaped after
being well loaded The Indians then
afterward killed Dan Crooks and Brady.
In the winter, as was mentioned In the
STATESMAN last week, the settlers on the
Weiser found little ranchdrie and killed
all the Indians, thirteen in number, but
Only three bucks There were evidently
three different bands of them, one crowd
entered the mining camp at Loon Creek,
and killed the Cinnamon who were wni-
tering there, plundered and then burned
the town They are doubtless the same
who are now depredating on the Salmon
river. Of the others several we know are
permanently friendly hy being killed on
the Payette. The notorions Chuck and
+ Bannack John and his squaw We're shot
and their bodies sent down the river.
There is no doubt but that troops viii lie
sent to Warrens without delay 1t will
necessarily be most ingIorious campaign
There are a few white men who know the
country which is terribly rough and steep,
while the Indians have lived there and
consequently know every rock. The only
chance for success is to hire Indians to
scout and give them full liberty to do as
they please. BY this m ans success will
be assured and campaign where not even
glory can be gained. will save the country
much expense. Again We say hire Nez
Perez scouts, and let them have their own
way
