THE BATTLE OF TACNA.
The Chilians are victors-A full Ac.
count of the Fight.


fBy Telegraph to the Sentinel
PANAMA, June 16.-The last news from
the south brings but meager details Of the
battle Of Tacns. These details are fur
nished in the report Of the CHILEAN COM
mander-in-chief. to the war department and
in the official report Of the officer who
brought the dispatches from Tacna. The
commanders report reads: Suburbs OF
Tacna, May 26.-Yesterday. at Q 4. NJ, the
army under my command marched in
search OF the enemy. In the evening the
army encamped at a distance of about two
leagues and a half from the position occu-
pied by the allied armies. At 6 o'clock on
the following morning we renewed the
march. At 2 O'Clock our artillery opened
fire on the advance OF the enemy, the artil-
lery on the other side replying to our fire.
The fire Of the artillery was sustained till
IL o'clock, at which hour our infantry ad-
vanced and the combat commenced. The
enemy offered a strong and tenacious re-
sistance, but in spite Of this three hours
later, our valiant soldiers took possession
OF the formidable position occupied by the
enemy. From this moment the enemy
dispersed, flying in all directions, and q
few hours later VIZ took possession OF
Tacna. Our losses are heavy, but those OF
the enemy are still greater. I congratu-
late the country on this victory, which is q
severe blow inflicted on the enemy, and not
easily repaired. 1t is the contamination
of the work committed to the army.
~(Signedl: MANUEL ~BoouEDoNo.
Unofficial accounts state that the position
of the allied forces, eight cannon and sew
eral mitrailleuses fell into the hands of the
Chilians. Compers, the c~ommander-in-
chief of the allies. was wounded and fell
into the hands Of the enemy. Colonel Co.
marcho, who lately initiated q revolution
in Bolivia against General Daza, was killed
during the action. The action was more
or less an artillery fight, and in artillery
the great superiority of the Chilians has
always been admitted. The infantry fight
which followed was Of short duration, az
the main body Of the Gillian force was
sentforward to the attack, and wss followed
so closely by the reserve, composed Of four
crack regiments, that the allies broke and
ran in all directions.

The death of Connolly, ex-Controller
OF New York City under the Tweed reg
ime, affords another occasion for impress
ing upon the public mind the very old
fact. that the way Of the -transgressor is
hard. The transgressor's way is prob
ably a hard way, but it does not appear
that Mr.. Connolly has been robbed of
many years of life. Or of the material
means Of enjoyment. He had reached
the orthodox limit OF three score years
and ten, and so far as means are con-
cerned seems not to have been cramped
at all. But we sec that the emotional
press speaks of his death in exile, in mis-
cry and restitution. He died in exile, no
doubt, and if a man of any sensitiveness
whate -er, We may reasonably assume
that it was not a pleasant retrospect
which met his minds eye when he looked
backward over his life course. But it is
not true that he died in destitute circum-
stances. When the negotiations for COM
promise were pending, a very large sum
of money was offered as a basis of settle
ment. Mrs. Connolly herself offered to
deposit a million in government bonds
with the authorities, conditional upon the
release of her husband. He has been
able to maintain himself and family in
luxury during all the years of his exile
But the lesson is not to be lost. Con-
molly was only one of a large number
who profted by the reckless management
of Tweed and Sweeney. He managed to
rake in an ormou proportion of i'll
gotten gains. Of the Sl5, 600, 900 al
legged by the Committee of Seventy to
have been literally stolen from the treas
ury by false vouchers, Connolly is be-
lieved to have secured more than one
third. But nothing certain can ever be
known about it. 1t was the enormous
scale of robbery which astounded New
York, and not the fact of robbery.

The Atlanta Constitution says at
must not be imagined that General Cor
don stood alone in being unable to wear
Senatorial powers easily. Almost every
Southern Senator holds his seat at the
sacrifice Of his peace of mind, and if he
were to die would leave his family scant-
lily provided for. Mr.. Lamar is a poor
man in the literal sense of the word. Mr..
Ransom is quite as poor. Senator Hamp-
ton is hardly able to maintain himself,
and General Butler is hardly SO easily off
as Hampton. Senator Garland has little
else but his salary, and Vance, Harris
and Morgan are in the same fix. Senators
Davis. Of West Virginia, and Beck, of
Kentucky, are the only Southern Senators
who may be called independent in cir
cumstances.

a, 1870.
Resolved. That we arraign and denounce
James A.. Garfield for his corrupt connec-
ton with the Credit Mobiller, for his false
denials thereof before his constituents, for
his perjured denial thereof before a COM
mittee of his peers in Congress, for fraud
upon his constituents in circulating among

the finding of said committee and the evil
dence against him. when in fact material
portions thereof were omitted and garbled.
Resolved, That we further arraign and
charge him with corrupt bribery in selling
his official influence as Chairman of the
committee on appropriations for 5000 to
the De Golyer Pavement Ring to aid them
in securing q contract from the Board Of

selling his influence to the said Ring in inn
posing upon the people Of said District a
pavement which Is almost worthless at o
price three times its cost, as sworn to by
on Of the contractors; selling his iniu-
ence to aid said Ring in securing q con-
tract. to procure which it corruptly spent
S97. 600 stfor influence selling his infu-
ence in . matter that involved nc question
Of law, upon the shallow pretext that he
was oeting as q lawyer; selling his infu-
ence in a manner so palpable and clear as
to be so found and declared by an impair
tiel and competent court upon an issue
solemnly tried.

Mr.. GLADSTONE is certainly q most
unfortunate man. Without ever being
the least to blame, so far as his inten-
tions 60, he always manages to get him
self into hot water all around. This
time he has. by the supplementary budg-
ct and other ways. succeeded with a ra-
pidity and thoroughness, remarkable even
for him. Large as his majority is. it will
soon melt away unless the Premier can
commend himself to his constituents with
a success far greater than hitherto.

WITH very proper promptitude, Secre-
tary Evarts has proceeded to call the at
tention of the Spanish government to the
fact that an American vessel, flying the
American %colors, and gong peaceably
about private business, was deliberately
fired upon by a Spanish cruiser, and af-
terward subjected to the indignity of a
search. MI. Evarts will do well co sug-
gest, in language Of unmistakable plain
ness, that an ~apologetic explanation is in
order. We have usually been found
ready to put up with a good deal, but
this is really going too far. If the Span
ish think that because we have no navy
worth mentioning, and no army to speak
of, we can be insulted with IMMUNITY,
they will presently find that they are
making a mistake.

Now THAT General Suffer is dead he is
a "venerated pioneer" and we are re-
minded of the part he took in securing
California for the United States, says the
San Francisco Stock Report, of the lavish
generosity he displayed toward poor
American immigrants when the gold rush
was in progress, and of the noble quail
ties he possessed generally. But, he was
deprived of all his property, fought for
his rights in the Courts and before Con.
gress for years, and did not get them !;
was entitled at least to 81, 900, 900, and
only asked $50, 900, and did not get that;
and died at last in the attitude of q men,
dicant before the nation that should have
honored him. It is all very well to talk
about the "s~elfshness of our million
aires" but they are right to take care of
number one. If they gave their money
away, those to whom they had given it
would kick them off their doorsteps and
let them die in the almshouse.

rHE ARTHUR PILL.

The Republican throat is proverbially
large and liberal, but the Arthur pill
seems 10 stick in it. The Springfield
Mass Republican says:
Arthur's nomination is bad in itself, and
worse in the methods by which it was
gained, and there is natural and wide
spread Indignation over it. But the Re-
publican party is a long journey from per-
lection, and the achievement of Garfield
was all it could stand up to in one day.
Let us think on our mercies, and thank
heaven that James A. Garfield is a very
healthy man. The v. p. is q harmless fig
urehead, as Mr.. Wheeler, OF Malone, N. Y,
will testify.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
thinks it will require "hard work and
internal vigilance to carry that State for
Garfield, saddled with Arthur, and the
Boston Advertiser says
1t is an ungracious task to find fault with
any action taken by a convention whose
main work has been satisfactory. But it
would be Sinking the truth not to say that
the nomination for the yice-Presidency is
a great disappointment. Mr.. Arthur is a
representative in his W person OF princi-
pies and methods in politics which a large
portion of the Republican party utterly
condemns, and unfortunately he represents
nothing else. His name could add nothing
to the ticket, for his national reputation is
the slightest and such as tits was acquired
in a contest with President Hayes in which
the. President was in the right and Mr.. Ar
thur in the wrong. He was Collector of
the port OF New York during a large part
OF Grants administration, and many OBJ
j~ections to the administration arose from
the highly Objectionable manner in which
the Customs service was employed in out
side politics. The same thing was attempt
ed in Massachusetts and was overthrown.
In New York it was also overthrow, but
only through the removal of the response
BILE officers, of whom Collector Arthur was
the chief. If it was necessary to propitiate
Conkling, after his magnificent battle for
General Grant, it was a small price for him
to ask, but much too high a price for the
convention to pay. He is a thorough be-
lever in the spoils doctrine in politics.
Heaven grant that we may never have oc-
casion to read them in an address to the
W Houses of Congress.
