Merritt mt White River.

Merritt, it now appears, did have brush
with the Indians when advancing to the
relief Of Payne's beleaguered command,
but, between the scout who first brought
word Of it to Snake River and the mail
carrier who told it at Rawlins, the fight was
greatly exaggerated. Lieutenant Bourke
and a later courier, who have just returned
from the front, bring the true story, which
will be found in our special dispatches
The most important news, however,
is that Merritt has successfully adj
vanced through the dangerous defles
south of Milk Greek, reaching unopposed
the White River bottom on Friday evening
and entering the agency on Saturday morn
ing. where the buildings were found to be
in ruins, with the bodies of Agent Meeker
and seven other white men all brutality
murdered, lying as they were left by the re-
firing savages. The fate of the women at
the agency, including Mrs. Meeker and her
daughter Josephine, remains in doubt. No
trace Of their bodies or their captors was
found, and it is highly probable that they
have been carried away to some point in the
mountains, to be used as hostages when ne.
gotiations for asurrender begin.

Both the dentists who dealt with the
teeth of the late Mr.. Gardiner have now
been heard from. and both deny absolutely
that they used arsenic; consequently the
theory OF the attending physician that the
man died from the effects of arsenic which
had been put in hollow tooth by dentist
altogether fails, and some other account of
the death is called for. The simple denial
OF the Boston dentist is sufficient, as was
that Of the Brooklyn dentist, to establish
the point that they did not use this sub
stance, for they testified directly to facts
immediately within their knowledge. But
the physician had based theory of the
death upon an inference as to the cause of
certain physical conditions he observed,
and this testimony shows that his inference
was erroneous. He is thus apparently con-
victed OF an error which, if it influenced his
treatment of the case, was perhaps of great
consequence.

Men conversant with human affairs could
easily have predicted that successful at
tempts to elevate the character Of the Indian
agents would not remedy the inherent
vices of our Indian system. Neither zeal
nor philanthropy nor good intentions can
supply the place of skill and training.
Our army officers possess every qualifca-
ton which the Indian agents so conspicu-
ously lack. On the great point of integrity
and pecuniary honor it may seem invidious
to make comparison; but we cannot
always expect to have watchful roformer,
like Mr.. Schurz, at the head Of the Interior
Department. Apart from his praiseworthy
vigilance officers of the army arc more likely
to be upright than the Indian agents. If IN
army officer is detected in POPULATION he is
disgraced and ruined. An officer of the army
is man of wide social connections; he is
brought into constant, or at least frequent,
intercourse with men who value per-
sonal honor; q stain upon his reputa-
tation blights all which he holds most
dear he loses caste and social status
from the moment he docs any act which
Indian agent is in position to give this
kind of guarantee Tor his stainless integrity.
Passing from the great point Of honor to
intelligence and skill the comparison is
equally against the kind Of men who are
appointed Indian agents. 10 say nothing
OF the superior education received by the
army officers, their subsequent training pc
culiarly fits them for dealing with the Ind
ians. Excepting the four years of our civil
war the military experience OF the grad yates
of West Point has been acquired in the Ind
ian country. If they do not understand the
Indians they understand nothing connected
with the practical exercise of their profess
sion. Many of our present army officers
have served for half q lifetime in the Ind
ian country, and they must be dull in
deed If they do not understand the Ind
ian character better than the transient
adventures who serve az Indian agents.

and who come and 60 at the caprice
OF politicians. The army officers know the
Indians we'll, while the ever-shitting Ind
ian agents scarcely know them at all. In
tire proportion that knowledge is superior
to ignorance it is better that the admins
tration of Indian affairs be put into the
hands OF the army instead of the hands OF
raw and unframed civilians who have very
little character to be staked on the success
of their administration.
Army officers have the great advantage OF
being men OF the world. They know how
men OF experience and sagacity are likely
to regard their conduct. They understand
the great art of so dealing with the preju-
dices of Indians and white men as to allay
and not inhame them; of SO dealing with
them as to make them auxiliaries instead
OF obstacles, while raw and we'll meaning
Indian agents perpetually get themselves
into hot water by their want of tact and
deficient knowledge OF human nature. II
our government could be brought to act on
the wise maxim, ''The tools to those that
can handle Them" the management of the
Indians would be transferred to the army.
Furthermore, it would point the necessity
for increasing rather than diminishing our
army, SO that whenever danger should arise
the means would be at hand to deal etfec-
lively with it.

| virtually admits that the Legislature would
be democratic and the republicans lose the
Senator, even if they should elect the Gov
ernor. When so ardent republican as Mr..
Halstead makes these admissions we must
hold our judgment in suspense until we
receive the returns, although the chances
seem to preponderate in favor of repub-
lican success In Ohio. Mr.. Halstead gives
it as his opinion that ''the republicans will
carry the State by main strength and
awkwardness"-a sarcastic touch which i'm
plies that their canvass has been managed
with no great skill.
Mr.. Richard Smith, editor of the Cincin-
natl Gazette, while admitting that within the
last three weeks ..the democrats have re-
gained lost confidence" expects republi-
can victory. He expects to-day ''the
largest vote ever polled in the State" He
thinks 1.-the republicans will carry the
State by q decisive majority" but he is too
prudent to commit himself to any fig
ures. BY expressing his belief that
the republicans will elect both their
State ticket and the Legislature he
tacitly admits that one does not necessarily
imply the other. Readers will not fail to
notice that the republican editors exhibit
stronger appearance of confidence than the
democratic editors. and. SO far as we have
the means of judging the chances in Ohio
preponderate in favor of Foster But the
political complexion Of the Legislature is
looked upon as doubtful by the best local
judges on both sides. These personal ex-
pressions of belief by prominent Ohio
editors will be read and compared with
curious interest during the progress of the
vote to-day which will test the value OF
their opinions.

PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.
HAS JOHN KELLY psn MAD7
From thu in.


Has John Kelly at last aalally gone mad? Has
his reason given way under e pressure Of intense
political excitement. and is , laborng under tho
delusion that he is lo{er in the FREQ United
States. but that he is in Gehany or Russia. and ID
an Emperor?
One would think fromiis speech at Troy, az
reported by our esteemed ontemporary, the New
York HERALD. The HERAp reports Mr.. Kelly
saying in his speech at Tro +
have never given any ders that were not with
the object Of benehting thcity and people OF New
York.
Surely language so insusrably impudent as thia
was never before uttered oAmerican soil-certainly
not since the Declaration oAmerican Independence.
Who and what is John Kel that he should swell
with such pomposity abat giving orders? Who
and what is any man thathe should employ such
language on American al? Mr.. Kelly evidently
imagines himself o desrS ruling by right Of Tam
many Hail. It is chari to believe him clean gone
daft.
'.Orders'-orders to HON? Possibly he may
mean orders to the Gfernor of the State. for he
seems to labor under thhalucination that although
