THE RENO INQUIRY.

The Reno inquiry has just concluded,
and the main results are before the country.
We hardly think, from careful perusal
of the testimony, that sufficient ground ex-
lists for the trial of Major Reno by court
martial, but sufficient has been shown to
prove that his conduct before, during and
since the battle of the Little Big Horn.
where Custer and his comrades fell, was not
such as to increase the respect in which he
has heretofore been held. The charge of
cowardice was only half proved, and there
appears to be an honest difference of opinion
as to whether his failure to go to Clusters
rescue was due to cowardice or to
inability to do so by reason of the
overwhelming force of the Indians in
his front. His partisans are very emphatic
in asserting that if he had carried out his
instructions he would have sacrificed the
lives of every man in his command besides
his own, and that he was wise in pursuing
the course he did. The partisans of Custer,
however, are equally emphatic in declaring
that, had Reno's force attacked the Indians
simultaneously with Custer's, the result
would have been the complete rout of the
savages. All this testimony is mere specula-
ton, however, and throws but little light on
the subject.
One fact, not at all complimentary to the
discipline of the army, has been brought out
in bold relief by this inquiry. It is that the
regiment was distracted by jealousy and
divided by contentious of all sorts. Reno
was jealous of Custer, and so was Benteen,
while Custer was jealous of his subordinates.
So far had this disorganization progressed
that every officer and private was openly
arrayed on one side or the other. When
Custer went into battle he had none but his
own partisans with him, while Reno's COM
mand was composed wholly of the anti
Custer portion of the Seventh cavalry. It
has been frequently limited that the survivors
of the regiment were so embittered by the
feuds that had existed that they would not
have taken the trouble to go to Clusters aid
even had it been wholly practicable. Such a
state OF affairs must be prejudicial to the
discipline of an army and greatly impair
its efficiency, and we greatly suspect that
the Seventh cavalry is not the only regiment
that is similarly disorganized. Regiments
IN the army are generally close corporations,
and the public knows but little of what is
going on in camp or barracks. Thus it hap
pened that none outside of army circles
knew to what extent the bitterness in the
Seventh cavalry had attained, and the public
know next to nothing of the contentious in
other regiments that may be in progress
now, and possibly may lead to another Gus
ter massacre. The war department. should
act decisively in the matter, for it cannot af-
ford to imperil the efficiency of the forces
through the liberation of these senseless
contentious.

he known of the progress of such negotia-
tons ne would have summarily put stop to
them. We believe he speaks the truth.
There is nothing in his record to create the
suspicion that he would lend himself to
such disreputable scheme, and even his
worst enemies, no matter how much ill they
may wish him, will not allege that he was
guilty of the great transgression. Mr..
Hayes, however, cannot feel very comfortable
under the scathing rebuke administered to
him by Gov. Tilden unless he has become
thoroughly case-hardened. All the ingenuity
of the Republican members of the COM
mittee failed to shake Mr.. Tilden's testimony
ono iota, or to show single flaw.

The friends Of Mr.. Washburn pretend to
think that Mr.. Donnelly is not making out
much of case- They are hard to satisfy.
Men have been turned out of Congress for a
single case of bribery, and Mr.. Donnelly has
not only proved by the confessions of the
guilty parties very many cases of bribery,
but he has shown that all the voters who
voted at Tamarack and Two Rivers, nearly
two hundred in number, were paid for vot-
ing for Washburn. It may be said that the
payment to these men of the time spent in
the election was not bribery; but we remem-

SEND THE OLIVE BRANCHES TO EX-
CELSIOR.
We had supposed that the sublimity of
1mpudence and cheek had been reached, but
we seem to have been mistaken. Bill King
has outdone himself in that particular, and
that is as strong q Characterization as the
English language permits. Some time last
week he wrote an article for the st. Paul end
of his paper, suggesting that st. Paul, Min
neapolis, and Saltwater join in union fairs,
having permanent union fair grounds.
But ''it is proposed" said tho sublime
William, ''that the coming nnion fair shall
be held on the present etajon fair grounds
in Minneapolis, under the auspices of the
Minnesota Agricultural and Mechanical as
sociation.''
The high sounding title of ''Minnesota
Agricultural and Mechanical association,'' is
simply cover tor two bankrupt adventurers,
yclept Bill King and Charley Clark. 'sIt is
proposed" means that the bankrupts pro-
pose to fleece the public and wish St. Paul
and the State at large to stand up and have
their pockets picked. It would seem to be
almost enough to have this insulting propo-
sltion Haunted in the face of the people
of this city once, but on yesterday
the charming William coolly copies his
''proposition' into the Minneapolis end of
luis paper, and not only proceeds to endorse
it, but also to savagely criticise the State
fair enterprise. After speaking of the
State Fair association as not honorably con-
Quoted and indulging in his usual amount of
swash, he impudently adds:
Whatever may be the action taken bv St.
Paul upon the proposition, let no one delude
himself with the idea that it has it's origin in
the fears or weakness of the people of Mime
aapoiis, or that, If the contest which the State
Agricultural society has thus discouyteousz,l
| sought to force upon them is pushed to an
| issue that they will not be found ready and
I thoroughly prepared to meet it.
Here are couple of fellows like Bill King
and Charley Clark coming in and demanding
that St. Paul join them in ruinino
and breaking up State society
for their private advantage. They NAV
rest assured that st. Paul will do nothing
of the kind. St. Paul does not wish to form
an alliance with Bill King and Charley Clark
in any matter. The bankrupt court shows
that Charley Clark has already formed an
alliance with our dry goods men, tailors,
shoemakers, ETC., which is sufficient for their
purpose, and we leave Bill King to imagine,
| if he can, why no association with him is
desired. St. Paul is no narrow, local city,
making war upon State agricultural society
in which the whole State is Interested. and
much less woald it do SO for the purpose
indicated.
The attempt on the part of Minneapolis
to destroy the State fair is dastardl,
in the extreme. It is simpl,
infamous Last year the officers of the State
fair informally decided to hold State fail
on the first week in September. They could
not formally decide the matter until the an.
nual meeting, as there was possibility that
new officers might be chosen. Bill King was
