allow you to imagine that your feat of
horsemanship on that occasion would
excite such profound interest in the
minds Of your countrymen, o did you
believe when behind the barricades on
the hill, where you strategically eluded
the sight of your command and the fire
of the Indians. that you would be ex-
posed and pilloried as you have been in
Chicago. Pity for you prevented your
comrades from charging you with a
quality of which the public verdict con-
victs you / too commiserate your on
dition, and gladly award you all the
benefit of the doubt implied by the
Scotch verdict, Not proved You
are not my ideal representative of the
American officer. l cannot recall any
illustrious person in our military histo-
ry to whom you bear any resemblance,
and yet / am informed you sometimes
assume Napoleonic attitudes; but they
are only attitudes and are not signif-
cant of anything warlike. Major,
among the other amusing elements OF
your statement before the court was
your attempt to cristicise Clusters mill
tary abilities. What must his com.
rades, especially Gen. Merritt, have
thought as you, with your limited ca
pacity and narrow, beclouded horizon,
attempted to criticise a soldier whose
life is a challenge to your W dead
level and whose death you will never
emulatep In answer to n question by
Recorder Lee you state that you heard
I vas at the. Little Big Horn. Was
this the source of your information.
Perhaps so. 1t is in keeping with your
recollections of the memorable 18th of
June, 1876, and you swore you would
not believe any report brought to you
by me ON that occasion. Major, the
question will naturally suggest itself
upon what have you been feeding that
you have grown so great in your own
esteem. You forget. major, that you
were not being tried by snobs, but by
an American constituency who will
place a just estimate on your snobbist
assumptions Of superiority, and with
that constituency / leave the the ques'
ton as to who did his duty, you or l,
on the occasion referred to. In 'leav'
ing you, major, let me correct any i'm
preston you may have that l am argu'
ing with you on points of facts, oil
matching my veracity against yours
My respect for myself and my friend.
will not permit me to do my reputation
such injustice. l merely call your at
~tention to a few naked truths will
which you are, perhaps, already famil'
lar, but which. with characteristic
modesty, whenever the truth is con
cerned, you would leave for some one
else to push forward. F. +. GIRARD.

edition of 1878, with which is now in
corporated all the maps, with q coln.
plete index to each, and neatly 10, 000

by this arrangement we are confident
of having the most important combi-
milton of reference matter that has
ever been produced, consisting of n

zetteer of all countries; an illustrated
dictionary of languages, containing
more than 500 words, with their delini-

t~hirty-five very large maps, engraved
and colored in the highest style of the
art, with an index to each map.
The need of such n work in every
household is increasingly apparent. 1t
is import to adults, by WHICH to gain
the knowledge constantly desired in

valuable to scholars in pursuing their

HOWEVER great may be our desire
to republicanize the world, it will al
ways be, in the case of Cinnamon,
loves labor lost. The extent of privi-
leges enjoyed by the Chinese in this
country, has been illustrated by the
fact that they are at liberty to take
possession of mineral deposits. and
then, without paying n royalty of any
kind, take all the precious metals they
acquire to China. The president has
been assured by the representatives in
congress from the Pacific coast, that in
comparison with the Chinese question,
all other matters of national interests,
had dwindled into insigni1cance in the
estimation of that section of the coun-
try.

MAJOR RENO AND THE SCOUT GlRARD.
An Open Letter from the Latter severely
eriiicizing the Majors Conduct.

The following letter has been pub
lished in bismarck by Girard:
To MAI. MARCUS A. RENo-Md!or:
In the issue of the Chicago Times OF
Jan. 9you testify in your effort to ac-
quit yourself of the charge of cowardice
that you discharged Girard from the
government service in the latter part
Of 1876 because you believed him to be
guilty of stealing. Those who do not
know you, sir, may not make due al
lowance for you, and may do me the in
~jnstice to place absolute confidence in
your yeracity, and TO guard against
such an error / take the liberty of con-
fronting you with your worst enemy, a
statement of of facts. You did dis
charge me as post interpreter, May G
1876, assigning rs q reason that you
expected to go out in command of the
Lincoln column; that you must econo-
mize, and that you could employ three
teamsters for my salary. I can now
understand the economy in discharg-
ing an interpreter, as you probably
foresaw that there would be no occa-
sion for one, $ far as your relations
with the Indians were concerned. Gen.
Custer, contrary to your plans and ex-
pcctations, returned and assumed COM
mand, and, after hearing your reason
for my discharge from yourself, restor-
ed me to my position on the 18th of the
same month. Why did you not make
official complaint to your superior, or
institute proceedings yourself against
mep The fact is, you displayed anoth-
er trait of character always associated
with that which distinguished you at
the battle of the Little Big Horn-petty
tyranny. Custer you could not harm,
but you could his humble friends. So
you discharged Girard. Major, what
evil genius tempted you to suggest u
comparison of character between you
and meP You whom a too generous
country educated and trained for an
honorable profession to see you conspic-
uous only for a and unmanli-
ness in your capacity Of commanding
officer at Abercrombie, where your in
suits and prosecutions of a brother OIL
GERS wife aroused the indignation of
the whole country, and eliminated in
your dismissal from the military service
for conduct unbecoming an officer and
a gentleman-you, l say, do yourself
an Injustice in contrasting yourself
with an humble Interpreter, whose SIM
pie ambition never arose above the
humble discharge OF his humble dutv.
Your name since the fasco has secured
to itself some prominence by its associ.
alton with a chief whom you BETRAYED.
and this has ended in an inquiry into
your conduct Mt the Little Big Horn. I
commend your prudence in this course.
il not in others, as more than two years
and a half elapsed before your wounded
honor asserted itself and asked for a
court Of inquiry. You are safe at last,
sir. and safety is the goal you have
been striving for most of your life. But
remember, major, you once secured a
certain kind of safety, but was it worth
the price? Your modesty would not
