CHICAGO, January 20.-In the Reno in
quiry to-day, Mai. Reno and his counsel
asked leave TO subpoena two moro wit
nesses, making twenty-six, viz: ]. Scott
Payne and Sergeant Delezey, OF Company
|, Seventh Cavalry. The latter was pres.
on OH the battlefield under Reno at the
time OF the massacre The Court reserved
the decision.
The scout, F. F. Girar,l, continued his
testimony. and was cross examined by
Recorder Lee. The principal point made
was that Custer gave Reno the following
order when standing within few feet
Of him:
"Major Reno, you will advance and try
to overtake the Indians, and when you do
so, charge them. Take the scouts with
you"
This contradicts the testimony Of Lien.
tenant Wallace, that the order was deliy.
cred by Colonel Cook. When the advance
was made and the Indians began to troop
up to meet Reno, the latter checked his
horse and his command did the same,
Witness then rode of to tell Custer about
the approach Of the Indians.
" hhSoo mho SIOpSlS NuGStlUIlHu on tnlS
point and said after telling Col. Cook,
whom he met to bear this news 10 Custer,
he rode back to Reno's command and ad.
vanced with them, but in the rear of the
column when he caught up, the skirmish
line was formed andth horses were in The
timber in charge Of the horse.holders,
The men advanced at once, and the
fighting began about ten minutes later,
The retreat began with the order ''men TO
their horses, the Indians are in our rear" +"
One Of the captains gave the order and in
minute the men were on their way across
the river.
Mr.. Girard made a correction in his testi.
mony as to the time when the command
began the retreat. On Saturday he said
It was ten minutes past one O'Clock. He
now said ten minutes past two. This ex.
planned Reno's delay Of an hour OF getting
to Custer. Mr.. Girard was sharply later.
rogated concerning this change OF testimo.
ny, and said he had yesterday refreshed
his memory by reading old correspond.
ence on the point. He believed his mem.
ory had not failed on other points. II
was not an act OF cowardce Tor Reno's
troops to move out OF the timber; but he
believed they would have been safer to re.
main.
Court here adjourned, itbeing announc.
ed that Major Reno might summon the
two witnesses he desired.

from his assertions. /, sir, think
that know the expression OF at least
four.ilfths Of the teachers Of our State
would be that the textbooks we now have
will compare favorably with those Of other
States. Our readers, arithmetics and gram
mars are moi inferior books. know some
teachers have their special books, but
have not II our books were different
from what they now are and met the
wants OF our schools, l would oppose
change on the same principle that
l now do L. {. It would be q
great expense and It would 80
materially disarrange our schools that II
would take years TO recover from It. In
many parts OF our State there Is in reality
an opposition to free school education,
and just now anything that might have
tendency 10 increase this opposition, Is 10
be dreaded and should be avoided. IT.
would cost the people OF the State more
than $1,000 10 replace tho books now in
use In our schools were their use tlisCon.
tinued. viii any publishing house in the
country agree to replace them free OF cost
II their books are allowed to take their
place.
We close with this question to Teacher
and Friend OF Education: II the books to
which he refers are mere trdGh compared
with others, why Is 1t that they are adopt
ed more or less in nearly every State in
the Union, and are pronounced to be good
by very many OF our best educators?

Bishop Peterkin preached TO good audi
ences at the NJ. E. Church yesterday morn
ing and evening. Episcopal services have
been held in the above named church
since Wednesday. Rev.J. F. Woods, OF
Clarksburg, wAs present and assisted in
the exercises. Rev. Mr.. Swope, OF your
city, was expected, but did not come.
Special revival meetings will be held
this week, alternating between the Meth
odist churches.
Conductor "Brub" Jasper and Engineer
George Butler, Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, are worthy OF great praise for
their efforts in behalf OF navigation on
the upper Monongahela, showing that
Congress was quite tardy in making ap-
preparations for this worthy enterprise,
and noticing also that no steamboat had
ventured to contend the channel with the
masses of ice that have been passing since
Friday, they determined to try what
iron clads on wheels could do;
SO in shifting some cars OF their
way trains here this morning, they put
three coal hoppers over the river bank,
just to see how their plan would work.
They succeeded in getting two OF them in
to the river right side up. when the hop
pers went plowing down stream as proud
as young monitors Just from the navy yard.
But alas! the enterprising officers had not
re ckoned correctly! Their boats were not
water-tight, and after floating two or three
hundred feet, to the surprise Of all who
witnessed the attempt, they sank in water
"oyer their heads" as little school boy
said.
Mr.. John A. Lloyd, Of Palatine, has been
missing since Friday evening, and some
fear he jumped of the bridge into the
river Friday night. Others think he has
fled to the West. Mr.. L. is one Of the par
ties accused OF selling liquor to McClay
and Holt, who lost their lives here not
long ago. The County Court now in ses-
sion found several indictments against
him for liquor selling. He had recently
acted very strangely at times.
The weather is quite cold again. Some
