keep on it if they make that unwise move
at present. The half brcods, armed with
breech leaders, and with an abundant
supply Of cartridges, and mounted on
strong horses, have the task before them
of battling the attempts of the Canadian
troops to force them to fight a battle until
after grass starts, when they can conf
IDENTIFY expect some of the half-starved
Indian tribes to Join them. If Riel can
stave off the fighting for six weeks the
Canadian government cannot put down
the rebellion as long as the beef herds
will supply food and their hides buy cart
ridges; that is, not until next winter; and
long before that time construction work
on the Canadian Pacific railroad will have
been suspended, the track will be torn up,
the bridges burned, and the construction
gangs in the mountains starved out.
That this is thoroughly understood by
Riel is clearly shown by his cutting the
railroad and creating disturbances at
widely separated points, such as Battle
ford, Prince Albert, and the Touchwood
hills.
Riel has wisely timed his outbreak. The
SNOW is melting. Soon the frozen me-
rasses will be quagmires, and the swollen
rivers impracticable to ford. The season
is in his favor. The nativity of the set
tiers favors his success. Let any man 20
down to Castle Garden and carefully
study the sluggish movement of the
Scotch, English and Swedish immigrants,
and then, remembering hat these immi-
grants are not used to transferring, not
used to border warfare, and that they are
encountered with women and children,
ask himself what chance they have in a
fight with skilled horsemen who are
deadly shots and used to war from their
babyhood, and who eau, and have in the
case of the Sioux and the Cheyennes,
whipped the United States cavalry man
for man.
The pretense made by some of our
West Point warriors that our army will
guard the line between the northwest ter
ritory and the United States, and prevent
our Indians from joining forces with the
braves under Riel, is absolutely ludi-
crous to men who know the country.
Stop the American Indians from eros
sing the line if they are so disposed,
will they? The chase the Christian war
rior, o. o. Howard, had after Chief
Joseph is still fresh in the
memory of the people. The raid
of the northern Cheyennes from the In
dian Territory to Wyoming has not been
forgotten, nor has the fact that they
whipped all the United States troops, all
the COW boys and all the settlers that
were brought before them. Wild Hog,
the Cheyenne chief, personally tod me
that he did not consider the fighting ear
nest fighting at all. Sitting Bull led his
Sioux across the line in the face Of large
portion of the United States army, and
he had previously annihilated Clusters
command. 1t is highly absurd for our
officers to gravcly announce that they will
not permit American Indians to cross the
line. 1t has yet to be discovered that
they want to cross. If they do, the dis
courteous creatures will not ask our army
officers for permission to 60. They will
simply saddle their horses and 60, and
thara will MT he a soldier within tNyentv
miles of the point where they cross.

An Exciting Time.

WHEELING, W. Va April 20.-This
city has received such a shaking up to-day
by the report of the grand jury as it never
had before. One hundred and twenty
five indictments were returned, sixty for
gambling. The list is a startling one,
among the names being an ex-governor
and candidate for United States senator.
Prominent and influential merchants and
manufacturers, society young men, attor-
neys and other professional men arein the
list. Newspaper Offices are thronged with
people begging that the list of names be
not published.

New York, April 20.-At > o'clock
this afternoon Gen. Grants family car
rage was driven to the door; the gen
eral appeared; he wore a high hat, about
his neck was a silk scarf and closely but
toned about his figure was a heavy beaver
oyercoat. The general carried a light
cane and unaided walked down the steps
with a firm step. As he crossed the flag
ging, he bowed and smiled as a hundred
hats were lifted in salute by those who
were assembled on the walk across the
street.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-A decision
was rendered by the supreme court to-day,
in the polygamy case of Rudger Clawson
against the United States, brought here
by a writ of error from the Supreme
Court of Utah. Clawson, the plaintiff in
error, was indicted for polygamy at the
April term of 1884 of the District Court
of Utah, and after trial was found guilty
and sentenced to a fine of $500 and four
years imprisonment. He appealed to the
Supreme Court of the Territory and that
tribunal having affirmed the judgment Of
the district court, brought his case here
for review upon the ground that the
grand and petit jurors by which he
was indicted and tried was illegally
constituted. This court in a care
fully prepared opinion bv Justice Blat,h-
ford, decides against the plaintiff in
error upon both points raised.

Justice Macarthur presided in the

Monday and there would be no more jury
trials this week, but the court would be

District Attorney Worthington stated
that Daniel Carrigan was in court, and
asked that he be arraigned. He said there
was some fifteen indictments against him,
and probably more.
Carrigan was brought to the bar
waived the reading of the indictments
and pleaded not guilty.
| He was arraigned only oil three, that
number being deemed sufficient for the
| present
Mr.. Worthington asked for $25,00C
| bail, distributed between tho three cases
Mr.. Ii. b. Moulton, who appeared for
the accused, thought that amount exoes
sive, and much greater than was asked IL
New York.
Mr.. Worthington understood that s50
900 had been demanded there.
You're mistaken" put in Carrigan.
Mr.. Moulton said that II was $500.
Justice Macarthur wished to know
whore the defendant resided.
Mr.. Moultou said that his home was IL
this city, but that for the past thre,
mouths he had been with his sister IL
Brooklyn, and walked the streets publicly
and almost daily.
Mr.. Worthington thought that he knew
about how much he had appeared II
public, as he had had mon watching tn
house for months trying to get him. He ha'
been here, and went away just before til
indictments were found, and had sine
that time been fugitive from justice

Justice Macarthur fixed the bail a
5000 in each of the three cases, and Car
rigan was recommitted to jail until it

The bungling attempt made Monday
at Exeter England, to hang John Lee,
who was convicted of murder committed
November last, certainly gives emphasis
to tho suggestions made by Gov. Hill to
the Now York legislature that some less
barbarous method of capital punishment
than hanging be adopted. Three times
Lee was led upon the scAffold, three times
the rope was adjusted and the black cap
drawn, and three times the burial service
was said, and at each tho drop failed to
work. Then the sheriff and his deputies
became demoralized, and the prisoner
dazed stupefed, and physically exhausted
was led back to his cell. A respite was
then granted. Every now and then
there is q shocking and disgusting scene
at the scafiod due to the nervousness, in
experience, or indifference Of the officers
Of the law, and occasionally oven with
the most careful preparations the prisoner
is slowly strangled. A moro certain aud
civilized method of executing criminals
than hanging should bo substituted for
it, and tho subject is we'll worth the con-
sideration of any legislative body.

Mr.. RANDALL hos played the part Of
mn obi ector to all kinds Of legislation ini-
tihted in this congress. His policy has
been that Of antagonism to all public
measures irrespective of thoir morits.
There is, therefore, kind Of rotributive
justice in the opposition Of the house to
the only legislation Mr.. Randall has been
guilty of proposing for the past two years.
Whatever good might have come out of
Mr.. RandalPs scheme for rebuilding the
navy, had it been duly considered and
amended, does not matter. Itwas too late
in its inception, and evidently did not i'm.
press the house as the Pennsylvania states
man expected. The sudden conversion of
that gentleman to the necessity for a
navy was looked upon with suspicion,
and his chrome for incompetency, as the
