ST. PAUL, April 1s.-The official report
Of the capture of the last of the Cheyennes
who escaped into the Yellowstone region
by Lieutenant Clark last month has been
received at military headquarters. Lieu.
tenant Clark started after the Indians
February eth, but did not strike their
trail until March 18th.
He pursued the Cheyennes for eight
days until he found them entrenched in
camp near Box Elder Creek, where, after
negotiations, they surrendered. Thirty
three in number gave up their arms and
ponies and were taken to Fort Keogh,
where they now are. The Indians were
trying to get to Sitting Bulls camp. Lieut..
Clark has been officially thanked by Gen.
Terry for his skill in making the capture.

The Belmont County seat.

6p0CtA 70 tnt llUCluuAu EuVutfOf,
CoLUNBus, April l7.-Aiter raising q
crop OF animosities, which will last gen.
Grafton, the contest for the county seat Of
Belmont county was this afternoon indefi.
nitely postponed so far as the Legislature
is concerned. Mr.. sextro's Committee,
after contrasting the merits Of St. Clairs.
vile, the present county seat, and Bellaire,
recommended as the best dlsposa. to be
made by Mr.. Danford's bill that Il be
indefinitely postponed. and It was done.
Special 70 the Cleveland Leader.
CoLuMBus, April The Belmont coun.
ty seat question is at last decided in favor
Of st. Clairsyille. The House this after.
noon refused to engross Mr.. Danford's bill
changing It's location from st. Clatrsville to
Bellaire, and this action effectually kills
the bill. Large lobbies from both cities
have been stationed at the Capital for
weeks, working Tor and against the bill.
Comments Of the BOllaire Leader Of yesterday.
As will be seen by our columns to-day
the bill providing lor the people OF this
county TO have the County Seat where 1t
is most convenient, was indefinitely post.
poned by the Legislature. This really
means the defeat OF the bill at present An
indefinite postponement at this late day OF
the session means death TO any measure,
unless th0friends OF the bill get in some
shrewd work. II Is barely possible that
tha hill Uill vaI onn,a IN ~, fka E3noI -.
sage, but It Is not at ali probable. How 81
members OF the Ohio Legislature, includ.
ing Hon. Ross ]. Alexander, got It
into their heads that the people OF
q county should not be allowed to
express their opinion upon q matter OF
this kind is beyond our comprehension.
For the life Of US we fail to see how strict.
ly honest men can refuse to grant vote
on any fair proposition when they are pe-
titioned so TO do, not only by respectable
number Of the people OF county, but by
q majority Of the people OF the county.
1t looks as though foul means had been
used, but We trust, for the reputation OF
some OF our friends, this is not true. Mr..
Alexander has frequently told us he was
not representative OF minority ;now we
ask whether he was or not in this matter,
and desire an explanation. As We look at
1.-THE has dealt unfairly with his best friends,
those to whom he looked and asked for a
yindication not long since. Had the peti.
ton been minority petition, then we
could not have found much fault with Mr..
AS position, although We never regarded
the petitions and remonstrances fair test
"a vote is the only way to decide this or
similar cases. But Mr.. Alexander has held
from the beginning that the petitions and
remonstranCes should govern the matter.
Mr.. A. tells US now what influence per-
suaded you to recede from your PROPOSE
ton after the County Seat contest came
up, Ito say nothing Of former pledges and
promises). Yonr former friends desire an
explanation for the base treatment receiv-
ed at your hands.
