The Ilges Court Martial.


ST. PAUL, July 1.-THE court martial
case of Col. Guido Ilges, for duplicating
his pay accounts, began this morning.
The court is composed of fifteen officers,
Breyet Brigadier General S. P. Bradley
being President.
The first witness, Josiah H. Speyer,
of the banking house of J. II. Speyer d
Co., Washington, d. c., testified to the
signature of defendant upon two pay
accounts in July and August, 1882,
which passed through his bank.
Major VIM. Smith, paymaster at st.
Paul, testified that the pay account OF
Col. Ilges for August, 1882, had come to
him from the Bank of Minnesota SO late
as March, 1888; that he declined to pay
it until making inquiry at Washington
because he had cashed the pay account
for later months and could not under
stand how the month of August could
have been overlooked. Witness then
wrote to Paymaster General and learned
that the account of Colonel Ilges for
August, 1882, has been paid.

In am interview, Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, who stopped in Chicago On his
way to California, said that he believed
President Arthur would be renominated
and elected. He had carried himself
prudently and gracefully. The talk
about Casarism is bosh. He sees no
reason why the Republicans should so
out Of power. Tt is q protectionist party,
and although a free trader, he will vote
for it, believing generally its principles
are wholesome, while those of the oppo-
site party are incoherent and unsettled.
The signs are that New York and Penn
~sylyania leaders will lay aside their
quarrels and the republican party will
then sweep the country. The Rev.
Henry Ward has lost none OF his level
headedness.@

THE papers of the territory are deyot-
ing a good deal Of space to the action Of
Secretary McCutcheon and the manner
in which he obtained a divorce from his
wife in order to marry a woman who
came to Montana with him. The fed
eral officials of this territory should be
above suspicion of wrong doing, and if
one-half of the s~coundrelism with which
the secretary is charged can be proven
the people Of the territory should with
one voice demand his removal. This is
not a political matter, but a matter in
which Montana is disgraced by the acts
of man holding a high position. The
stain should be wiped out by the remov-
al of the cause.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR has fully deter
mined to make his visit to the national
park next month. He is reported as
having said to a friend thathe had aban-
doned his Newport trip and his sea bass
fishing for this year and intended to
have a good time in the Yellowstone.
II have" said the president, ''had
enough of what is called society in win
ter in Washington. [ want to get a
hundred miles away from the nearest
politician, where I can take rest in my
own way and be relieved from the social
and political pressure that Is SO hard to
avoid. Then I have eve seen the Sec
ton Of the country we are going to.
I will have an opportunity to practic-
ally study the Indian question, which,
have wished to do we since T have been
in office. Gen. Sheridan has selected
the best guides and scouts he can find to
go with us on the trip and we will see
parts of country which has hitherto been
almost unknown to the white man.
As to the spice Of danger there may be
it only adds to the interest of the jour-
ney. I shall rough it just as the rest do,
live and sleep in the open air, wear out
my old hunting suit and for the first
time in my life become a savage. Such

ed. A warrant was issued for McCutch-
cons arrest hat night, with what result
we know not. Such serious charges as
have been presented against Mr. Nc
Cutcheon cannot be answered with a
bludgeon, as the gentleman will proba-
bly, find out in time. The proper thing
for him to do is to set about d%isproving
the charges preferred against him-and
if he can't do that, send in his resigna-
ton and no longer disgrace the public
service. So far as we have heard an
expression these are the common senti-
ments of the republicans of Choteau
county.

HENRY WILLARD is sending out invi-
tations to attend the ceremonies follow
ing the completion Of the great through
line in September at some point near
the center of the continent, orwhere the
last connecting rail is to be laid. The
extent of this enterprise of Mr.. Wizards
may be imagined when it is announced
that special trains will leave Boston and
New York, and hotels will be designat-
ed all along the route at which Mr.. Viii
lard's guests will stop and from which
they will be taken by the trains. The
main trains will be made up at st. Paul
and will consist exclusively of drawing
room, sleeper and dining cars, to stop at
all points of interest between st. Paul
and Puget Sound. In the circular Mr..
Willard desires it distinctly understood
by his guests that the entire trip has
been arranged so as to prevent any ex-
pense to them, and the grand excursion
will be OF a princely scale throughout.

A STUDY of the religion of the Tlinkit
Indians Of Arizona has been made by
the Rev. S. I'LL. Young, who says it SO
much resembles that of Christians that
their conversion is quite easy. They be-
lieve in God who is a trinity in his
attributes. He is first, a universal pun
Usher of evil and rewarder of good; Sec
ond, a holy spirit Of benificence, to whom
they pray for blessings; and third, a
mediator in the various forms of lesser
div1nities. But many of the elabora-
tons of this religion are savage and
grotesQue.

they would. The citizens of Billings,

CHICAGO special, 18th: Gov. Crosby,
of Montana, who arrived to-day from
the east, said in an interview: II had a
long visit with President Arthur, but he
did not say a word about politics. Conk-
ling told me he was entirely out of poll
tics and was devoting himself solely to
his law business. The relation between
MI. Conkling and the president is n
Of friendship, but not Of intimacy. Mr.
Arthur treats Conkling as he does ev-
erybody, with great courtesy, but he has
no more influence with the administra-
ton than hundreds of others have. Four
days ago | met an intimate friend of MI.
Tilden who had just come from a visit
to Greystone. He said hat as he drove
up to the house MI. Tilden was sitting
on the piazza in a large easy chair. It
was with the greatest difficulty that he
arose to meet his visitor, in fact making
several efforts before he could rise. The
old gentleman was very pale, and as he
extended his hand it shook like an as
pen leaf. He said that people could talk
as much as they pleased about Mr.. Til
denis robust health, but he would not be
surprised to hear of his sudden death at
any time.
