MILITARY MICHAELls.

He has u Tussle sritis q Lot Of Cayotes.
The following extract is taken from let
ter of J. f. F.'s from Gen. Miles expedition,
in the Chicago Times Of the 22d inst. AS it
gives the first account of Capt. Michaelis of
Gen. Terry's staff, who left here several
weeks ago, with lot of carrier pigeons, for
the front; it is worthy of reproduction
ION our last march in, we met Capt. Mi
chaelis, of the ordnance department. and
Mr.. J. j. Sweeney, of the Winchester Arms
Company, of New England, en- route to meet
US. They had been out one night. Sweene.
had never been on the plains, or, in fact, on
horseback, before. He stood watch through
the night alternately with the captain.
Through the uncertain moonlight he saw
the t'wicky ups" and imagined an Indian
village. He called the captain, who inspected
the structures sharply. Presently there was
low, prolonged howl, followed by sharp
yells.
"That is an Indian war-whoop, sure," said
Mr.. Sweeney.
s'It sounds like it, concurred Capt. Mi
chaelis, "but I cannot make out the tribe.
They may be Sioux, or they may be our own
Indians"
''Eitber would be bad enough remarked
Mr.. Sweeney.
s.We had better keep still until we find
out" suggested the military man.
Both warriors grasped their repeating
rifles, flung themselves in the sage brush,
aud kept watch and ward until morning.
At daylight another howl and yelp arose,
and Capt. Michaelis, who now saw clearly,
sprang to his feet and cried out, "By
that is a war party OF coyotes!'
AS he spoke the wolves scampered of.
The story was considered too good to keep.
Each of the gentlemen said the other was
the party who could not make out the Indi-

stockholder of the Elevated railroad who
has been interviewed In New York, says:
"Mr. Field is making a great deal of
trouble out of nothing. The fact of the
matter is he is vexed because the Governor
sold his stock before he had chance to get
rid of his. Another thing that annoyed MI.
Field was that the stock of the New York
Elevated company is getting distributed all
over, whereas the Metropolitan company
keep theirs together, SO that now they can
do as they like in the Manhattan company.
MIR. Field does not like this, because it takes
away his power and Importance. He feels
hurt.
"What does Mr.. Tilden mean when he
speaks of financial pyrotechnics'?"
"Mr. Tilden ia we'll up in railroad matters,
and when the directors wanted to build ele-
waited roads all over creation he fought against
it. suppose when he saw the bent of the
members he decided to reduce his interest in
the road, knowing we'll that if they built
roads in thinly popu ated districts the cost of
construction and the running expenses will
eat up the profits of the lines through we'll
pOpulaCeO districts. "
"Did Mr.. Tilden make $1,OOO,OOO by the
sale, as Mr.. Field alleges?''
"Mr. Tilden did not consult me in the
matter at all, and I cannot say what he made;
but when he sold prices were ranging. high.''
"How much do you suppose he made?"
HE did not tell me anything about it,
"Do you think Mr.. Tlden is avoiding Mr.
Field on account of that transaction?''
"Mr. Tilden has no occasion to avoid MIR.
Field, and think there is great deal of
conceit in the assertion that he has done SO.
Mr.. Field has not acted with his usual dis
cretion in this matter and has allowed him
self to get into print without fully consider
ing the consequences. He has acted very
stupidity in attacking Mr.. Tilden alone when
the other directors have all done just what
MIR. Tilden did,
"What are your relations with Mr.. Field?''
"Teey have always been friendly, but
when MIR. Field returned home from Europe
be was annoyed because would not be a
party to suit against the Governor for hav-

lChicago Special.
There have been for some time past well
defined rumors in railroad circles here that
Vanderbilt was trying to wrest the Union
Pacific from Jay Gould, these rumors being
in great measure based upon the heavy
purchases of Chicago & Northwestern by
Vanderbilt, and his consolidation of the
Canada Southern with the Lake Shore. It
is now claimed that Vanderbilt has virtually
attained control of the Union Pacific, and
that the change of ownership will coon
become apparent in the manage
meIt of that road. The money that
he used to buy up Union Pacific
stock is said to have been obtained by un-
loading large amount of Lake Shore when
the latter's boom recently occurred on the
strength of reports that it was to be perpet-
ually leased by the New York Central. Now
the theory among railroad men is that Van
derbit started these reports in order to force
up the value of Lake Shore stock and ena-
ble him to bag q heavier amount than he
otherwise could. Vanderbilt, of course,
means to keep his control of Lake Shore,
nut, owning nearly all of that stock, he could
safely dispose of large amount. He may
lot go of Michigan Central whenever he
needs more money, as he can easily spare
that road, the Lake Shore, with the Canada
Southern, giving him just as good South
ern connection.
There are also rumors that Gould, having
lost his grip on the Union Pacific, is anxious
to form connection with the Burlington &
Missouri road in Nebraska, and extend the
latter to Ogden and connect with the Central
Pacific. He would thus secure double line
to the Pacific coast via Chicago and st.
Louis, using the Chicago, Burlington &,
Quincy and the Burlington g. Missouri river
to Chicago, and tho Wabash, the st. Louis,
Kansas City & Northern, and the Kansas
Pacific, via st. Louie, and thus be able to
defy Vanderbilt even if the latter has secured
tho Union Pacific.
The railroads have, it is understood, CON-
pieted their programme for further confs-
eating the property of the producing people
of the West. The rates for the transporta-
tion of grain and provisions from
Chicago to New York have been in
creased from ten to fifteen cents per hun
dred in the early summer to their presen
fgures-30 cents for grain and 35 cents for
provisions. Ten days ago the rates were %
and 80 cents. 1t is now understood that on
the 10Th of September another turn is to be
given to the screw, and the rates will be adj
vanced to 35 and 40 cents; and on October
LIST they will be increased to 40 and 45 cents,
with the regulation that for late fall and
winter rates the figures will be 45 cents for

cent of these advances, of these exorbitant
additions to the present rates will be so
much takon from the price of grain in the
hands of producers, and is an upcall-d for
and unjustifable robbery of the producers.

much to do with the opposition to him. He is
believed to have killed many men, and it is
known Of him that in 1875, when he was re-
deeming the county from radical rule.
he on occasion compelled a
crowd of negroes to hang their own
leader. He had heard that movement was
preparing among the negroes against him and
rode alone on horseback to the place where the
negroes had gathered together, carrying a rope
over his saddle-bow. When he came upon
them he covered the leader with his revolver
and ordered him to step out. The man obeyed.
Selecting fonr other negroes by name he bade
them come to him and take the rope which he
gave them. ''Put it around that mans neck" he
said. They obeyed. 'Now, then, one of you 60
up that tree and reeve it over that bough."
This was done. "Now, then, pull away, you

EX-CONFEDERATEs IN OFEJCE.

For the past two years the Republican pa
pers all over the country have been making
q great ado because the members of the
House have seen fit to dismiss several of the
clerks who had held Office under the Repub
lican party and appoint Democrats from the
South in their stead. Some of these ap-
pointees had been in the confederate army
luring the war, and hence great howl was
raised abont filling the offices with rebels
w.ile depriving Union soldiers of their means
of subsistence. 1t has been shown repeat
edly, however, that no hardship was done to
any of the discharged employees of either the
House or Senate, and as it has been the habit
of all political parties in this country for the
last half century to reward their friends, it is
hard to discover where the outrage comes
in. But if it is crime to give
an office to an ex. confederate, it
will he found that the Republican
party is far more guilty than the Democratic
party, and that John Sherman is one of the
greatest criminals of the age. We have al
ready published q list of a portion of the
ex-rebels who are now filling lucrative offices
under the government, including the no.
torious Yerger family of Mississippi, some
half dozen of the relatives of the notorious
guerrilla Mosby, and dozen or more of his
band. Most of these hold choice positions
in the treasury department, and we're ap-
pointed directly by Sherman, who makes
the accusation of appointing ex-confederates
against the Democratic party. Surely he is
not without sin in the same direction him
self, and it is unbecoming in him to be cast
ing stones.
After all the talk that has been made on
this subject we fail to see any great wrong
in the appointment of -confederates to Of
fee. By the amnesty issued to them they
were absolved from all blame for the part
they took in the rebellion and are to-day on
the same footing before the law as the SOL
diers who fought for the Union. Their po-
litical disabilities having been removed by a
Republican President and Republican
Congress, men of that party have no right
to complain if, taking advantage of the lib
erty thus granted them, they procure their
election or appointment to office. All of
them are to-day as loyal to the flag as are
any mel in the country.
1t is notable that those who are the loudest
in their manifestations of indignation at the
appointment of a few former rebels to Office
are not those who bore the brunt of the bat
tie, but stay -at-home politicians of the most
despicable sort. A genuine soldier
does not begrudge the paltry offices
his former adversaries have been able to
secure. He is too magnanimous for such
work. The e1-rebels who are
in the employ of the Senate and House are |
certainly capable of discharging the duties
required of them, and are far less odious, 40 !
