OF Purcen's bank, but the chairman denied
the application. James S. Merritt was on
the stand and gave very clear and de-
tailed account of his connection with
Senator Ingalls, election, and explained away
every charge of attempt at bribery made
against him. On cross examination, how
ever, nothing vas brought out which changed
his evidence as given. G. Wilson was sworn,
and denied most emphatically that he had
used or offered any money or position to any
member for vote for Senator In

REPORT OF GEN. MERRITT

REPORT OF GEN. MERRITT.
Chicago, Oct. ga dispatch from Gen.
Merritt, Oct. 5th on Milk river, was forward
Cd 70 Gen. Sheridan tonight. 1t says we re-
lic"cd Captain Payne's command at $50 this
morning. We found the command much as
reported in the original dispatches. The cas-
utlties were twelve killed and forty-three
wounded. All the animals of tho command
were killed except twelve mules and three
horses of the four companies of cavalry.
Captain Dalge with his company arrived the
first inst. into Captain Payne's entertainments,
hut ali his horses were killed by The enemy.
Too much praise cannot be given this gallant
officer ami his command for his very praise
worthy act in the reinforcement of Payne.
WORDS FAIL TO DESCRIBE THE SCENE
in the vicinity of this wretched intrenchment.
Over 800 dead animals are lying outside the
breastworks, the stencil from which is some
thing horrible. The wounded are doing we'll.
Capt. Payne and Lieut.. Paddock are both i'm
proving. 1 cannot give too much credit to my
gallant officers and men for their admirable
conduct during the march. In something like
forty-eight hours my command has marched
about 10 miles over miserable dusty road,
the worst ever travelled.
The rest of the dispatch is devoted to praise
of his subordinates, whom he comnends in the
warmest manner, mentioning especially Lieuts.
Swift and Bishop, Schuyler and Weir; Coils.
Campton and Sumner. It will be observed he
says nothing of the fight which he is reported
to have had with the Indians on the route, and
that report may therefore be set down as fc-

A Celebrated Case.

:
A good audience greeted the Murray
Comedy company at the Opera House yes
terday afternoon, composed principally of
ladies', and it is safe to say that all were
pleased with the performance. The play,
"A Celebrated Case" was one
never before placed upon the boards here,
though its incidents have been made ia
miliar to the theater-going public through
the criticisms of the Eastern press. It was
snperbly mounted and costumed, the dresses
being patterned after the French STYLES
during the reign of Louis XIV. As Adrienne
Miss Garland acted with much grace and
feeling. She was especially effective in the
tragic scenes of the three last acts, and won
much Gemmendation. She is an actress of
much capacity, and seems destined to win
large share of public favor.

MerritrS March.
DETAILS OF THE ADVANCE.


RAwL1ss, Wy, Oct. 8.-Lieut. Amy, ad-
jutant of Gen. Merritt's command, gives very
interesting account of the march of Gen. Mer-
ritt's command from Rawlins He says: We
marched continuously Saturday night, not
miles in twenty-four hours. It will he remem-
bered that the command left here at 1890 A. II.
They marched forty miles that day, the second
day they marched fifty miles. The men en-
dured the march splendidly. They
realized that q few of their comrades in arms
were surrounded, and that their safety depend
ed upon the quick movement of their COM
mand. Consequently there was no complaints.
Several horses were so worn out that they had
to be abandoned and died on the roadside. The
command arrived at the scene of action ut 5 80
A. N. Sunday, Oct. 18th, after marching 20
miles the day previous. When Merritt 9
advance guard reached Payne's pickets
the command was ordered to halt in
order to inform Capt. Payne that it was the
relief column that was approaching him. He
caused his trumpeter to sound the officers call.
Capt. Dodge's company of the Ninth cavalry
was there when Merritt arrived. He arrived on
Thursday and had to cut his way in. In the
engagement he lost thirty-six out of his
seventy-fv horses. Grimes and Kimball went
to work caring for the wounded Immediately
upon their arrival at the command. Merritt's
march was great military success.
- MAJOR THoRNBURaH's BODY
has been recovered. Glen. Merritt does not
mention having met any Indians, and the re-
port of his battle is not credited. About
eighty head of horses belonging to Geo. Boggs
were taken out of their corral on Snake River
and driven off, on the night of October 9Th. It
is thought to be the work of white men, as no
Indians have been seen in the neighborhood.
Gen. Crook established his headquarters at Fl.
Steele, but comes here every morning and re-
mains during the day, returning home in the
evening. He is watching things closely and
dispatching messengers daily. Capt. Gilless,
quartermaste-, is here and to him belongs the
credit of moving forward forage and supplies
in a shorter time than any officer on record. It
is due to his promptness that the troops were
enabled to go to the front so promptly.
