Anticipating the favorable action OF
congress on the Sioux Indian treaty, the
lands of the Grow Creek reservation are
being squatted upon by impatient immi.
grants who reach Pukwana. This may
lead to serious trouble in case the ratifi.
cation OF the treaty is delayed.
The Indian is jealous of his possession.
and is apt to imbibe very peculiar and
dangerous notions when he is trespassed
upon. Brule county is not in condition
to invite the disastrous effects of trouble
with its red neighbors, and much the
better policy would be to give no occa
sion for it. The burning Of q squatter's
cabin would be fatal to the present pros
perity of that entire section.

TILDEN's LATEST MOVE.
Dana, OF the "sun," In Washington

Mcdonald.

Dana, OF the "sun," In Washington
Organizing War Against Ex-senator
Mcdonald.
Tho visits Of Hon. Charles A. Dana to the
capital city of the nation have been very in
frequent Of late years, owing perhaps to the
fact of an indisposition on his part to meet
ex-Gov. A. X. Shepherd with whom it was
rumoTod at one time he was not ON speaking
terms.
The steady favor, however, with which the
name Of ex-senator Mcdonald, of Indiana,
has been mentioned in connection with tho
presidential nomination of the democratic
party, and the fact that Gov. Shepherd was
in person experimenting extensive min ing
operations at Batopilas, Mexico, have at last
induced the mighty editor Of the Sun to come
over and personally overhaul the democratic
slate. He arrived in the city on Monday
last, and for tho past two days has
been the guest of Representative Dorsheimer,
He has kept himself somewhat close, and il
was not until he was discovered piling up
runs Of sixty points on New Yorker in the
Arlington billiard room yesterday that IL
was definitely known that he was here. Last
night Mr.. Dorsheimer gave dinner party in
honor Of his guest, to which were invited
a number Of tho more exalted of
the democratic leaders, and between
sherry and champagne it is understood that
a plan was matured which they fondly i'm
aginc will enable the New York wing of the
democracy TO produce western man who
will be able TO take tho wind out of the sails
Of the ex-senator from Indiana and render IL
possible for them to claim the second place
on the ticket, in which event it is proposed
that tho Sun shall vigorously boom Mr.. Dor.
sheimer for the vice. presidential nomination.
Mr. Holman is expected to materially aid
this project and steps have been taken to
soothe his lacerated feelings, which IL Is
hoped will be successful. The distinguished
company fingered late over their wine, and
arrangements were perfected to impart the
plan of action agreed upon to such members
of the democratic national committee as il
was thought likely would lend aid and
comfort to the anti-McDonald programme.
The general opinion of this sanhedrim of the
democratic party is that their scheme will be
best promoted by locating the convention at
Chicago, as it was conceded that the influ-
ence of tho local democratic politicians there
could be relied upon to work earnestly against
any man who did not have the approval of
the New York BOSSES.
A significant feature, however and one that
caused some anxiety to Mr.. Dana and his
friends, was that, although Mr.. Holman was
one of the invited guests last evening, up to a
late hour he had not put in an appearance.
1t was expected that Mr.. Dana would return
to New York last night by late train.

GREEDY RELIEF EXPEDITION.
Details OF the Plan and tho Description
OF the Alert.

VI
Lieut.. ]. G. Colwell u. $. NJ, has been or
dered to duty on the Greedy relief expedition,
and will probably be assigned to tho Bear.
Lieut.. Colwoll accompanied the expedition
Of last year under Lieut.. Darlington. Com
mandor Schley, the commander of the ex-
petition, is arranging the details Of the pro-
posed expedition as rapidly as possible, and
the list of naval officers selected to accompany
him will be announced in few days. Some
changes have recently been made in the char
acter of tho expedition from the fact that the
British government has rendered to the
United States the use of the Alert, and the
offer has been accepted. The Alert will
probably BIO brought to this coun-
try by Lieutenant Commander Q. +.
Goodrich, U. 8. N, who was recently de-
tached from the Lancaster. Tho Alert is a
steam vessel which was specially fitted out
for Arctic explorations by the British gov
eminent. She was tho advance ship of the
Morse expedition Of 1875. She Is much larger
than either the Thetis or the Bear, the yes
sells purchased for the Greedy expedition, and
will carry about as much as the two COM
bined. On account Of her size she will be
used as a supply ship and will follow in the
wake of tho other vessels, SO as to be of SER
vice in case of need. The three vessels will
require the service of about 100 persons in
Guiding officers and crow, about half of which
number will be assigned to the Alert. The
enlistment of men for tho expedition will
commence in q short time at Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Washington,
and Norfolk. All volunteers will DO
subject to a rigid physical examination, and
only the best men will be accepted. 1t has
been decided to adopt the same general plan
of provisioning tho expedition for two years
as that which proved so satisfactory in the
Rodgers expeditions with such additionalsup-
plies rs will tend to prevent scurvy. Ar
rangements have already been made to secure
q supply of reindeer skins or seal skins for
clothing. The secretary of the navy has been
furnished with copy Of the report made by
British officers connected with the Morse ex-
podition on the subject of Arctic expeditions,
which contains suggestions rs to the best
manner of fitting them out. the general plain
of which is almost identical with the plan
recommended by the Greedy relief board and
adopted by tho navy department..

A Cheerful View.

NeW lOfE JOhrNu,
The present political situation has, we are
panied TO see thrown u large number of our news

that unless Mr. Morrison's tariff bill becomes
law the republic will 80 to destruction. On the
other hand, there are thousands OF very amiable
friends who insist that the Morrison measure is
fraught with evil ard disaster. Neither side Is
right. The country is in no danger whatever and
will survive, no matter what comes. The winter
wheat is growing under the snow aud the ice.
The orange trees are blooming In Florida and tho
strawberry plants will soon send US their luscious
fruit In few weeks we shall have peas from
the Carolinas. Mr. Morrisons bill will not have
the slightest effect upon the pink and white APP
Pile blossoms Of tho Eastern shore of Maryland or

provides for an increase to $40 per month of
the pensions of soldiers and sailors who suf-
fered an amputation at the hip Joint, or Of q

fetal limb, or who suffered an amputation
through the shoulder joint or wound or
injury thereto which renders the entire arm
useless, or who had one hand and one foot
amputated, or are totally disabled in one
hand and one foot, or those who arc other
wise SO disabled as to be incapacitated for the
performance of any manual labor, but not so
disabled as to require the regular personal
aid or attendance of any person. Those who
have lost the sight Of one eye shall receive a

eye has been injured he shall be entitled to
an increase not to exceed, when the loss of
81 ght is less than total, $40 per month; also,

UNTIL yesterday the chivalrous Danvillians
who shot down detenseless black men, and
by that means decreased the opposition vote,
have declined to answer the questions of the
investigating committee rs to their indi-
vidual use of pistols. They have shielded
themselves under the plea that TO answer
would be to criminate themselves. Not much
was gained by this course, for to claim the
privilege was to admit their guilt. Neverthe-
less, they claimed it. Yesterday. however,
an ox-confoderatc captain took the stand and
answered with pride rather than shame that
he fred four shots into crowd Of negroes.
Although no is the first to boldly avow
his individual assault with intent to kill,
yet all the other witnesses who aided
in the massacre, while quibbling
about unimportant details, have as to
the principal facts confirmed the state
ments made by the colored men. II none but
democratic white men had given testimony,
the proof would have been ample that re-
publican form of government did not exist in
Virginia last November. A large number Of
citizens were as effcctually prevented from
enjoying the elective franchise as If an
armed force had guarded the polls against

An Enormous Corruption Fund.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 19.-The Chronicle
publishes to-day the contents of a confidential
circular issued by the Railroad Shareholders
association and signed by John Livingston,
president, New York. The circular states
that the object is to raise an immense fund
to defeat legislation on all railroad matters,
to secure the repeal of existing laws and the
abolition of railroad commissions in the states
where they exist All railroad shareholders
are expected to subscribe, the amount ex-
pected from them being named in presi-
dental letter accompanying the circular.
Two comparatively small stockholders Of this
city were called upon for 800 each, and it ia
understood that the demand from weather.
ones will be in proportion. 1t is known that
prominent eastern roads are allied with the
Central Pacific road to raise this fund. The
circular predicts that enough money is to be
raised to defeat congressional action on the
land grant bills.
