to Washington and the president shall
determine their guilt or innocence.
Douglas will have to go ; we know he
was in the White river troubles, and
you shall decide who else. On this con-
dition, and on no other will we surren-
der the guilty Indians" This was said
with great arrogance and boldness.
Ouray said that it would take about
week to bring the men in.
Hatch told him he would accept the
proposition as far as bringing the mas
sacre men in, but as for taking them to
Washington, he had to telegraph to
Schurz for permission.
Colorow and Jack were Immediately
dispatched to bring in the twelve named,
including Douglass and Persune, saying
they would be back in five days after
they had taken their departure.
Ouray again spoke, reiterating his
statement that the Utes could not get
justice in Colorado and could only get
it in Washington.
"You there'' (meaning Hatch, Ad-
ans and the legal adviser, Valois) ''are
all my enemies. am one against
three. You hate me. You are all Col
orado or New Mexico men, and French
devil. l have not one friend among yoH.
You will not give me justice, and that
is why I want to go to Washington,
where 1 can have at least one friend. -

CUSTER CITY. d. #.
A Doieful Picture of n Great Mining
Center-Lot Jumping.


.SOrreSpOuucnCt u the lthutI.
CUSTER, Dec. 3, 1879.
Custer is again o'ershadowed. A few
weeks ago we were very much elated at
the prospect of the sale of the Atlantic
mine. Said sale having fallen through
gives our town setback it will be
some time in recovering from. Since
the prospect of our town growing,
jumpers have come in almost as thick
as grasshoppers were in Nebraska in
rs, and vacant lots, lots with partially
finished buildings, and lots with good
buildings on them have been jumped,
but think many parties will be glad
to sell again before spring for less than
the cost of fencing.
There is no doubt that we have
many rich mines around here, but
most of them are from six to eight
miles from town and there is no assur-
ance that Custer, a year from now, will
be the leading town in this section.
To be sure we have the county seat,
which will be of some help in the start,
and if we could secure a patent for the
town have no doubt we would keep
the ascendency, but the opposition to a
patent is very strong, and doubt if it
can be procured. Yours,
OBSERVER

.IRENO'S REMARKS.
HE PLEADsi LIKE A SOLDIER.
And Claims Tint the Charges Are
Frivolous, and Not Justified by
the Evidence-Extensive
ly Advertised.

Deadwood, Dec. SIN the Reno
court martial to-day Maj. Reno deliv-
cred lengthy argument in his defense,
in which he claims that he did not go
beyond the bounds of unbecomlng con-
duct; that in striking Lieut.. Nicholson
he did so after being driven beyond the
limits of patienceby the repeated taunts
of Nicholson; that in looking through
the window of Sturgis' house he was
actuated by the purest motives, and his
note Of apology should be sufficient rep
aration for an unintentional offence; he
says that all the witnesses agree that he
was in possession of his mental faculties
on all occasions brought into question;
that if under the influence of liquor at
all, he was regarded as good-humoredly
drunk, and that his knocking money ON
the floor and breaking window lights
was done in frolic. lie claims that it
has been his misfortune to have OBJ
tanned widespread notoriety through the
press of the country, and that greater
degree of attention is called to his acts
than to those of other officers, and that
a conviction upon the charges against
him would be sacrifice of commits
sion which is the reward for over twen-
ty-two years of hard and faithful service
to his country. He quotes the eighty
third article of the articles of war, and
says the intent is to preserve the char
acter and honor of the army by exclud-
ing disreputable characters, and not to
infict punishment for youthful follies
or trivial derivations from rectitude.
The court then adjourned sine die.

The Maine Return,nr Board.

New York, Dec. ST. A. Pike, who
is at Augusta, Maine, as one of the
Republican advisory committee, has
made to reporter full statement of
the facts concerning the democratic
plot to capture that state by fraud. He
says there was no bribery by republi-
cans in the election, and that the whole
conduct Of tho governor and council is
suspicious. If the democrats are given
control of the legislature they can alter
the law about presidential electors, and
possibly capture the electoral vote of
Maine in 1880.

Brennan Released ON Bnil-Sympathy
from Canadians.
Castlebar, Dec. S.-Thomas Bren-
nan. the agitator, was conducted to
court to-day under small escort and
was cheered by a large crowd on the
way. Lepoer n. French, counsel for
the crown, said the government is en-
deavoring to save the tenant farmers
in Ireland from the body of men, a
vast number of whom are agitating
purely for self aggrandizement and pop
ularity. Mr.. French defined the legal
meaning of sedition, and then read
Brennan's Balla speech to show it as
within this definition.
Castlebar, Dec. 0.-After the evi-
cence of the shorthand writer and the
police witnesses has been concluded
Brennan was committed for trial, and
bail was accepted for his appearance to
answer. After his release Brennan
addressed the crowd from the window
of his hotel. He announced that what
ever he had said at Balla he was pre-
pared to say again. His words were
loudly cheered.

Cincinnati, Dec. 8.-Last night the
police commissioners issued an order
directing the police to arrest all persons
found performing on Sunday in any of
the theatrical, variety or concert estab-
lishments. The result was that most
of the shows that usually show on Sun
days closed their doors, but at Henck's
opera house, and one or two others, the
performances began. The police at
once arrested everybody they could find
violating the order. About so persons
were arrested, all of whom gave bail.

Augusta, Dec. S.-A petition is cir

and council the necessity of investigat-
ing the charges of Chas. b. Rounds,
that the election returns had been tam
pered with. Messrs. Baker and Baker
stated to the advisory committee yes
terday that they are authorized attor-
neys for fourteen senators and fifty-five
representatives elected, and state. that
on behalf of all these, and sometimes
accompanied by one or more of them,
they have applied to the governor and
council for permission to see the returns
affecting them. They have made the
request in person whenever they could
procure admission to the council cham
Der, and have written applications
pending before the council every day
since Nov. II, and names several sena-
tors and representatives who have
made such request with no response
given. The same legal firm sent the
council yesterday detailed statement
specifying on information errors which
they think will be found in the returns
from Franklin, and asking leave to cor
rect the same, under the statute of TT.
To deny this request, it is stated, the
governor and council will be compelled
to enforce their views as to the uncon-
stitutionality of that statute, because
it distinctly guarantees the right to
have such corrections made as are ap-
piled for
