The ImperiIled Troops.

The awful uncertainty regarding the fate
of the soldiers left on Tuesday morning last
intrenched near Milk Greek, Colorado. and
surrounded by three hundred well armed
savages is still unremoved. The relief
column which started on Thursday was
we'll on its way at last reports, but
can scarcely reach the corralled troops
before Sunday. Positive news as TO
their fate can scarcely be had for
couple of days later. Reports concerning
tho tate of Agent Meeker, his family and
employees are in the direction Of their
having persisted, but here again nothing
positive can be learned. In addition
to the three hundred and fifty troops sent
forward on Thursday, two hundred md
thirty started from Rawlins yester-
day and five hundred more are
awaiting transportation, which seems,
unfortunately, hard to obtain. What is
most to be feared is that the Indians
may be in force sufficient to attack the
relieving column, and, if not to defeat
it, at least to bring it to standstill,
thus sealing the fate Of the remnant OF Major
Thornburghs command to q certainty.
The Indians may be strong enough to
deal with such small detachments in
detail. Herein lies o comment that
needs no emphasis of ours on the
miserable policy of crippling the
army by reductions of force and supplies
which has been pursued by Congress of
late wears in its pitiful "economv" This
Indian war, before it is over, may cost more
than has been "saved" in the last five
years

all along it, route Is an evil of this nature.
The management OF tho Metropolitan Com
pany makes mistake II IL supposcs that
IL can safely neglect this point. That
company has obtained its enormously val

bul nobody ignores tho fact that tho public

the passage Of the trains necessarily in
flicts upon property In certain streets

Inspectors Of Election.

The General Term of the Supreme Court
listened to arguments yesterday, but de-
ferred the issue Of q mandamus to the
Judge declared the unanimous opinion Of
the Court on the merits Of the con-
troversy, and expressed the hope that
this declaration of opinion would dis
pense with any necessity for for
NAL mandamus. 1t is the unanimous
opinion of the three judges that the
fourth inspector in each election district
should DO given to tho Tammany organiza-
ton. Should the Court issue mandamus
to-day il will be to this effect, but it pre-
fers to give the Police Board an oppor-
tunity to net in this sense without
Judicial compulsion. 1t is the view
Of the Court that so large a body
Of democratic voters as is repre-
scented by Tammany Hall comprising two
thirds OF the democrats Of the city-are en-
titled to be represented in the Board Of
Inspectors. The idea of the Court seems
to be that the supporters of Mr.. Kelly have
as good right to see that the votes given
to him are fairly received and truly counted
rs the votes given to Governor Robinson.
II inandamus should be found necessary
Ii will be framed in this sense. 1t
is given out that the democratic
members of the Police Board will
refuse to obey such u mandnmus, and that
they will go to prison for contempt Of court
sooner than vote COR Tammany inspectors
But whom the Court shall have issued its
mandate they may possibly change their
minds. Unless there is 10 be cheating
what difference can il make whethsr Tam
many IL represented or excluded
