According to the detailed account given
by the New York Herald, the victory over
the Cheyennes that escaped from Fort Rob-
inson was not glorious for the troops. Sew
enteen half.starved bucks held four compan-
les in check and killed three soldiers out
right before they succumbed to the rain of
bullets. The Indians sang their death song
and refused to surrender even when their
ammunition gave out, and firing was kept
up by the troops some time after all response
had ceased. When the smoke cleared away
twenty-three dead Indians were found in
the pit, six of the m women; eight squaws
wounded and one wounded buck were the
only survivors. These Cheyennes were will
ing to die rather than be sent back to the
agency in Indian Territory from which they
ran away. When captured by the troops
after they had committed some horrible
butcheries in Kansas they declared that they
were willing to be taken to Kansas for trial,
but it they were to be taken back to the
agency they would die where they were
first. When at Camp Robinson they found
that only portion were to be held by the
Kansas authorities, and that the rest were to

The question of the adjustment Of the
State debt of Virginia attracts good deal
of interest in Washington, and general de-
sire is expressed that terms be agreed upon.
There is but one opinion about the effect
If settlement is effected, it is conceded that
good will follow to the State, and if post
poned much harm will be inflicted. The
proposition of the bondholders, for four
per cent. bond, substantially, is looked upon
as liberal, and should be met with cores
ponding liberality by the Legislature.

The plain English of Gen. Bragg, 2
Democratic Congressman from the North
west, to his Southern political brethren,
was not relished by the party. He was en-
tering his protest against Southern War
Claims, and took occasion to say that if
Southern Democrats could not be Democrats
without insisting on rushing their arms into
the public Treasury they had better 60 over
to the Republicans. Considerable feeling
has grown out OF it and Gen. Bragg will
hear some equally plain English from some
of his Southern brethren, who generally
speak to the point when it comes to mat
ter of this kind.

comparatively out of the race-the fatal
blunder OF Mr.. Thurman on the finance
question, having destroyed confidence in
his availability, and the non.committal re-
cord of Mr.. Hendricks placing him outside
the pale of possibilities. Bayard stands very
high in the estimation of all parties, but he
comes from a State that has but three electo-
raj votes, and is certain for the Democracy
anyhow. His chances for New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut would be exceedingly
slim, and he would certainly lose every
Western and Pacific State. In contemplate
ing the gloomy outlook, prominent Vir-
ginia Democrat remarked, tina. Hayes would
be their best man to nominate, which sound
ed like complete surrender in advance of
the contest of 1880.
The probable candidate of the Republicans
is now and then discussed, with the prepon-
derance Of opinion in favor of Gen. Grant.
Political experts of both parties seem to
give him the inside track. Secretary Sher-
man and Senators Conkling and Blaine have
their friends who claim that the develop
ments of the future viii show an accession to
their strength. just now Mr.. Conkling is
pitted against the administration on the
confirmation of the New York appoint
nents, and is waging very determined
tight. While the Committee on Comm cree,
If which he is chairman, has re ported ad-
7ersely on the nominations, it is by no
means certain that the Senate will vote to
ldopt the report. The Secretary of the
Treasury has assigned high reasons for the
suspension of Messrs. Arthur and Cornell,

demanded it, specifying the various causes
