est courier reports remains unchanged in the
vicinity Of the Cheyenne river, Battle creek

Indians coming in from White river and
went back to the bad lands.

go north into other agencies. Three more
troops of cavalry, viz: A, X and /, of the
Sixth cavalry, under the command of Major
Tupper with lS0 men and horses, will leave
General Carr's headquarters early tomorrow
morning for White river and vicinity to

Senate,

WASHINGTON, Dec lin the senate today
the bill appropriating 100000 to provide and
equip steam vessel for boarding purposes
at Chicago ILL.,, was possed.
The action of the senate in concurring In
the house amendment for public building
at Sioux City, H., was read, considered and
then the amendment was non-concurred In
and the bill sent to IA conference
Mr.. Mitchell offered resolution (Which
was agreed toy instructing the postoflice
committee to inquire into the feasibility and
advisability of o law for postal savings banks
in connection with all or certain classes Of
postofices throughout the country.
The resolution offered yesterday for daily
meetings of the senate at IL n. III. and for re-
cesses from to 80 p. m. was taken up
The discussion was kept up amid consider
able excitement until o'clock when it went
over without action.
The election bill was then taken up and
MIR. Wilson Of Iowa addressed the senate In
its advocacy The question which con-
fronted congress was one of duty. In several
states not only the right Of the individual
citizen had been outraged, but the equality Of
states in the matter of representation had
been denied. Thus Mississippi and South
Carolina with vote of l9l, lie, sent fourteen
members to the house Of representatives,
while Iowa, with q voting population .s
29325 sent but eleven members. The
people Of the coontry could not believe that
the people of Mississippi and South Carolina
were as free to use the ballet as the people Of
Iowa. Nor would the people be content until
absolute sefety was assured in the use of the
ballot, nor until fairness aud good faith was
shown in the counting of the same in each
state. The country must do right, that every
citizen, be he white or colored shall cast his
vote as is his right and have it counted as it
is cast. If congress obeyed the dictates Of
duty it would establish peace throughout the
republic. If it refused it would but involve
the country in the perils of rctributive
justice, which was ever the ally of the op-
pressed.
Mr. Frye said the pending bill was not one
tenth part stringent enough. If in order to
secure the right of an American citizen to
freely cast his ballot and have it counted 1t
was necessary to put bayonet behind every
ballot he would do So Applause and Kisses
in the gallery, which were promptly sup
pressed.
Mr.. Daniel commented on Mr., F'rye's
declaration, saying it was not the conception
of republic which its founders had, and was
not the conception of republic the American
people had today.
After an executive session the senate
adjourned.

Changing Union Pacific Methods.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. ll.-[Special Telegram
to The BEE. The first effect of Jay Gould's
acquisition of the Union Pacific road felt in
this city was a letter from the general freight
agent of the company to the Philadelphia con-
tracing agent received yesterday, instruct
ing him to close up his Office Decem Der 81 and
report in New York for duty. The Union Pa
citic has maintained an expensive Office here
for years, and now rents fine suite of rooms.
in the Built building, where several clerks
and soliciting agents are employed. The
lease will be given up and the employees trans
ferred to other cities. The abolition of this
office Is in pursuance of Gould's plan. which
will be undou btedly adopted at the presidents
meeting, for restoring harmony and establish
ing uniformity Of rates among western
lines. Instead of a separate and expen-
sive organization of soliciting agents for
each western road IN every eastern city
there will be but one commissioner in Chi
cago. All business originating in Phila-
delphia designed for western points will be
forwarded by whatever line the Philadelphia
sub-commissioner may select. He will take
care, of course, to divide the business equit-
ably among the roads in the association.
There will therefore be no occasion for the
services of any soliciting agents.
