Miles Drives the Sioux Across the
Boundary.

= st. Paul, July 3l.-General Terry, COM
handing the military department of Dako-
ia, received tonight dispatch from Gen.
Miles, dated Camp on Rock creek, eighteen
miles south Of the boundary, saying that
Sitting Bulls band of Sioux had fled north
west to Wood Mountain, leaving their
property scattered along the line of their
route for fifty miles. They are estimated
to number 1900, with 1900 fighting men.
General Miles says he believes his force
strong enough to deal with all the Indians
Sitting Bull can gather.

The New York Tri!unc says: 1--WE are
only beginning to appreciate the yastness
of our territory and the wonderful variety
of its resources. The sudden development
OF great mineral field in Colorado. Mon
tana and other tracts of the great West is
doing more to make the people of the Unit
ed States acquainted with their own coun-
try than any other cause, and will no doubt
prove of greater benefit to the United
States by the drawing of permanent set
tiers to the inhabitable part OF these re-
gions than by the additions it will make to
our mineral wealth."

Miles Campaign.

ST.. PAUL, July est seems to be the
impression in the East that Gen. Miles is
acting in excess of instructions from his
superiors in his campaign against the In
dams. 1t is stated at Departement head
quarters that he is acting under precise in
structions from Gen. Terry, commanding
Department, and has not exceeded or de-
parted from them.

TIE INTERVIEW.

| TIE INTERVIEW.
In view of the fact the Northern Pacific
Railroad company has no active represent
alive in Montana, there apperrs to be al
entire lack of reliable information with re
ference to the plans of this company fo
the immediate prosecution OF its construct
ion work, with view to the earliest com
pletiOn of the entire line, from the Missouri
river ut Bismarck. to the Pacific coast, o.
more directly to the connection with tn,
steamer lines on the Columbia river a
Walla Walla. = - -
For the reliable Information of all con
cernetl, it may be stated that the Northern
Pacific company has now under contract
one hundred miles of road, west of Bis
marck, on the Missouri. This one hundred
miles extends the line from Bismarck to
within twenty-five miles of the little Mis-
souri,. The remaining one hundred and
ten miles, from that point to the Yellow
stone is being carefully surveyed with re-
ference to relocation and better approach
to the Yellowstone, and will be under con-
tract in August, with the view Of winter
work in heavier sections. One-lalf of the
first hundred miles named is already graded,
and the track is being rapidly laid. There
is sufficient material already west of the
Missouri river, for the first thirty miles,
and the balance of the rail tor the first one
hundred miles is on the company's docks
at Duluth, and going forward for the new
Nyynrl. Nnpnfinfinnc hainfr 10
for steel rails for the balance of the dis
lance to the Yellowstone, to be delivered
curly next season.
The chief engineer of the company is on
the pacific side, surveying the line from
Walla Walla to lake Pend d'orielle, two
hundred and ten miles, most Of which is
now located. Twenty-Five hundred tons
of rail for this work was shipped from
New York two months ago, and last week
twelve thousand tons of steel rail was pur-
chased by the president, which will be ship
ped forward Immediately and as rapidly as
vessel transportation can be secured, with
the intention Of completing the Pend d.
orielle division next year. The bonds for
the completion OF this work, as also the
work between the Missouri and the Yellow
stone, are already subscribed.
1t is the plan of MIR. Billings, the newly
elected president, who is the largest indi-
vidual owner in the road, rs also the board
Of directors who are large owners of the
to push the entire work forward
to the earliest possible completion.
1t is believed that the entire distance be-
tween Fl. Keogh and Bozeman can be over
come and the road completed there during
he years 1880 and 81, and the connection
made with the western end the next or fol-
owing year, when through trains of uni
orm gauge will be run between Portland.
Oregon, Puget Sound and tie Atlantic
titles, without change of cars for through
and without breaking bulk of
through freight. =
The desirability of this line over all
,thers ofiHdircct route and different gauge. |
annot fail to be at once apparent to adj
in the Development of Montana,
IDAHO, and all the attractive belt of country
reversed by this road.

Washington Telegram, 23d, to Chicago Tribune.
The recent report Of Gen. Miles to Gen.
Sheridan, that he anticipated a brush with
the indians, is said by local paper here to
have been forwarded to Gen. Sherman with
the following Endorsement upon the back
by Gen. Sheridan. a =, 81,
Heres young man that is anxious to
get into fight with the indians, He'll get
it, id quick too.'' .
The cabinet considered the danger of a
conflict with the indians and decided to
order Gen. Miles to avoid Il collision if it
was possible.

IUeOdI VOti1i0.
m the Republican. Oct. ..

FROM tIlc hepuDIlcaHs Oct =.
"Why, have we not charged the Demo
Gratis over and over with having cast
some five or six hundred fraudulent and
illegal votes at the recent city election,
and has not the GAZETTE as often said
II was slanderous and lie, and in last
evenings issue said we might as well
have said five thousand Have we not
as proof of the frauds we were exposing
published the names of over forty per-
sons IN the Fifth Ward alone who voted
illegally, some of them voting In the city
as high as dozen of times and the GA
ZETTE still says it is lie and because
nobody that loves justice and honest
elections will believe what it says in the
face of the facts
The "facis" are just what the Republi-
en- does not give. 1t says there were
some five or six hundl ed "illegal votes"
But only cites the names of some three
or four bummers who have been arrest
ed and indicted. % So
1t will be seen from the Council pro-
ceedings that Mr.. Paynter said last night
that in "careful examination thirty
two" Of the forty names were legally
entitled to vote. How many more of
them are entitled or how many of them
are Republicans we do not know.
The daily gazette., 1879-10-03

The Democratic constabies refuse to
arrest them, and the Gdzefte not only
approves their actions, but in It's despera-
tion 1t wrings its hands and screams
You lie, you villain, you lic."-Repub-
Ecdn.
We presume we need not tell our
readers that the whole Of the above para.
graph is false. They know it is so. They
have seen no such language in the
GAZETTE. The Republican has re.
peatedly used language as If quoted from
the GAZETTE and then denied It's accu-
racy and here it actually uses words
We never uttered, clothed with quota
tion marks to give the impression that
they were taken from the GAZETTE,
when, as our readers know, they never
appeared In the GAZETTE. Such is its
want Of honesty and truth. Is 1t any
wonder then that it assails every Demo-
crat that exercises his right TO labor for
the interests of the people and forward
the cause of the Democratic party !?
Certainty not. 1t will drag down and
slander every man 1t can to serve its
purpose; and this is one of the very
reasons why many good men who would
take an active part in politics refuse to
do SO. When doing his best he is as
sailed and slandcred without any regard
to truth or justice. That paper asserts
that there were five or six hundred Illegal
votes polled by the Democrats at the late
election. Everybody must know that
this is false; and yet it is repeated day
after day, without particle of proof to
sustain its assertions. That there were
Illegal votes cast we have no doubt. But
SO far as we can learn there were about
as many on one side as OH the other, and
of this we are told proof will be pre-
sented at the proper time. We do not
wish to take up the columns of the
GAZETTE with such discussions-they
do not profit the reader.
