The unusual amount Of smallpox
that has run out into the summer from

and teach the proper lesson. Staun.

It. Il Is essentially a cold weather
disease, and we may we'll look out for

of course he was not there. He had
no substitute. No one Of the Funder

champion his cause. We admire the

GEN. MALONE has made an al le
speech in the U. S. Senate on the bill
to reduce the tax on tobacco. He
opposed the reduction Of -four cents a
pound, for the reason that it is so
small that the merchan, would almost
wholly get the benefit Of it. He gave
notice Of his intention to follow that
vote with an amendment to make the
tax eigh, cents, or just one.half the
present rate. The reduction then be.
ing eigh, cents per pound, il would
be felt by the producer. Sound posi-.

SPECIAL Dispatch 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-It is believed
here, that in addition to recommending the
seating of Mackay, as teleSraphed you last
night the House Committee on Elections
will also recommend the giving of Chalm-
ers' seat to Lynch. This is but carrying
out the thing upon which the committee
was formed, and for which reason it was
opposed, you will remember, when first
announced by Speaker Keifer. Whatever
may be the report of the committee, it is
not likely that any early action will be
taken, from the fact that the Democrats
have determined to resist the attempt to
unSeat Democratic members simply for the
purpose OF filling their places with Repub-
licanS, ami will tight the matter to the
bitter end.
Col. c. B. Comstock, Maj. Weitzel, Gen.
Murrell and Capt. Turtle, the Board OF
Engineers, will shortly meet at Charleston,
W. V, for the purpose of examining and
reporting upon the improvements OF the
Hanawha, present and prospective.
Sometime ago Representative: Cobb, of
Indiana, had passed by the House resolu-
tion calling upon the General Land Office
for information concerning lands granted
to railroads by the States separately and by
the United States, and also the railroads
that have not completed their roads
in the time required by law. About
one-half of the force OF the rail
road division Of the General Land
Office have been at work on this matter, for
the most part night and day, and at last
the required information has been elected
and compiled in table. The work was
one of great magnitude, as the records OF
the lands granted since the beginning OF
the Government had to be searched, there
being no separate compilation Of land grant
statistics. 1t has now been completed, and
will be shortly submitted to Congress.
The Tariff Commission bill was taken up
this afternoon, and KaSsOn opened the dis

A SHARP Campaign.

CHICAGO, March GA st. Paul special
says: Reports received Fort As-iniboine,
Montana, by courier, from Capt. Jacob
Kline, of the 18th Infantry, in command
OF the column operating against the half
breed and Indians, on Milk river, says that
he struck Indians on the 14th inst. half a
mile below Medicine Lodge, where there
were thirty-five or forty lodges of Little
Pines band. ON the 18th inst, by forced
marches, he reached the first half-breed
village, and half an hour later detach-
ment Of cavalry had destroyed eighty or
ninety dwellings. The leaders had fled.
The half-breedS were badly demOralized,
and are going north. The cavalry have
been sent to the lower village, and this
movement will close the half.breed
campaign, unless the Indians again show
themselves on the north side of the river,
when Capt. Kline will drive them back over
the line.

MnSOn's Case.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-lf is pretty well
understood that one of the principal points
upon which the Judge Advocate General
bases his opinion in Mason's case, is that
the charge of assault with intent to Kill
was not fully established by the evidence
presented: another point said to have been
raised by General Swain Is, that Mason
was not arraigned on proper charges, as his
most serious OtienSe. from mlitary
nniDt of view, was SeditiOus conduct,
under circumstances that might have re-
shifted in mutiny among the soldiers serv-
inc with him at the time. The approval OF
the report by the President would result in
the discharge of Mason from custody, and
render him exempt from further proceed
ings upon the part of the military authori-
ties for the same OfienSe.
