Cmevesse, July 22—A courier who left Goose Creek on the evening of the 16th arrived ot Fort Fetterman to-night. His delay was cansed by having met at Powder Rl\'cra.lxgdy of 200 Indians, from whom he escaped, Liding himself in the timber for twenty-four hours, | one Indisn following his trail 9 miles. He says they were evidently waiting for ‘’hiim, and fears that the couriers who were sent from Fetter- man on the 16th inst. with dispatches for Crook have been intercepted, as he saw their trail this side of the river, but not beyond. His delay ruo him cut of rations, compelling him to fast {two days. He left all quiet in camp. The hostile Sioux are believed to be north of Goose Creek 40 miles, and not far from the gcene of the late massacre on the Little Big Homn. They have not fired into the camp late- 1y nor attempted to burn it out, although the parched condition of the grass renders this somewhat easy; at least the animals may be robbed of its’ spstenance. The wagon train gives them a supply until October. The command moved 7 miles north on the day of the courier’s departure, to another branch of Tongue River near the foot of the Big Horn Mountains, where they will campuntil the Fifth Cavalry, which will leave Fort Laramie Monday, reaches it, about the 5th of August: Gen. Crook will make no aggressive movement until this event, and when, if the couriers whom he has dispatehed to Terry advising him to join ‘him, succeed in reaching that command, he will have made a junction with Terry, the next ac- tion will prove a decisive one.

STURGIS. 45 IOWA VOLUNTEER PAYS HIS RESPECT3 TO CUSTER'S TRADUCER. o the Editor of The Tribune. Cricaco, July 22.—Your daily of the-19th Inst. contains a letter from your St. Louis cor- respondent relating what Gen. Sturgis said to him on the 1Sth about Gen. Custer. The sub- stance of Sturgis' remarks is an insinuation that Gen. Custer was a coward, beecause (as he avers) “the bodies of 300 or more soldicrs were found piled up inalittle ravine, while Dehind were found those of Custer and bhis ‘chosen offeers? What a spectace,” he says, “it would have been to find 300 goldiers collected on onec side, and, In the rear, the commander of the little force surrounded by its officers! Mind, I don’t want te impugn their bravery!” Oh mo! but he means for every one else to. He then flings in the assertion that “ Custer was insanely am- bitions of glory,” and that “Custer’s uck affords agood clue to his ruling passion.” _Criticises 4 Custer’s want of judement, which drew these men into 2 trap,’” and then says that ¢ the rec- ords " show him (Sturgis) to bave been one of Lhe “ most_successful” Indian fighters.” That “in 1860 he followed the Iowas and Comau- thes so that their camps were cntircl;bmken up eud they caused no further trouble.”” He also Fays that be 'told somebody in St. Paul two years ago that he “didn’t” believe Custer knew suflicient of the Indian character to fight them to advantage, that he was liable to beled Into a trap, in which case, I (Sturgis) told the entleman there would be no one leftto tell the e.” And then he congratulates himself that oW, at the first important attack, ¢ the prophe- ty is fulfilled,” and winds up by asscrting that Custer was unpopular with histroops,was a trrant, and had noregard for the soldicrs under .." Now, Mr. Editor, cowardice in the face of the enemy is, under the laws of war, punisbable with death. It ought alsoto be the law that a cowardly at- tazk on the reputation of a dead soldier saould meet the same fate. We recard with contempt the man who strikes a woman or & child, or any one much weaker than he, and not able to de- lend themselves. Wecall the Indian a fiend ind dastard - because lie mutilates: the dead bodies of Lis helpless victims, and yet these uis are brave and honorable compared with by falsehood or cunuing innuendo the soldierly “character of ome who, so far 15 we knmow, died fighting with his lice to the cnemy, with flishing blade tod straining mnerve to the very last. “But,” says Gen. Sturgis, ““mind, I don't want to impugn their bravery!” To add that re- @ark towhat he lad already said was like styling & mau a thief, and in the next breath MWerring that ke did not want to impuen his honesty! Now, gir, Gen. Custer was bound by Dotiesto me, other than those which knitted- him to every ‘soldier of ouyr country. But, 2s soldiers, we'do claim him as a comrade and a ther, of whose every record we are proud; tad, sir, in the name of the comrades with ¥hom Le fought, and to whom his prescnce at the head of their column wasan inspiration which d like a lightning flash on the eacmy, in manya charge and battle, I deny that he was * “tyrant ™ or regorded “unkindly by his men.’ The attempt to stain him with cowardice Deedgno denial. The unanimous testimony of ! who served with him, and of all who ever Eeard of him, refutes that, and * Custer’s luck,” #s Gen. Sturgis snceringly styles Custer’s suc- fess, was what naturally resulted to a soldier Whose heart was a stranger to fear, who went tobattle with an cye gleaming like a blazing far, and whose™ arm was cver foun In “the thickest of the fight, dealing ‘blowsvboth well directed and resistless. Gen. Stursie’ object scems to be to get. before the mindof Lislistenera comparison of s *record With that of the dead General which shall be ‘mjurious to the latter. To assist Gen. Sturgis’ &lemory in this Jaudable effort, I would suggest 1o your correspondent in his next interview D 8sk Gen. 8, if, in the summer of 1564, he did Dtmarch out of Memphis, Tenn., at the head of 2 firedivision of from 7,000 to 10,000mento at- tack Gen.

WATNESVILLE, O., July 20.—In Tuz TRIBUNE of July 9 I notice am article written by W. H. Eddy, under the heading of “ Lo, the Poor In- dian.” Inreplying to the above article, I de- sire to state a few facts for-your readers to con- sider. Having no desire for a mewspaper con- troversy, I shall et the matter reston its own evidence, and your readers can judge for them- selves. Such factsas I state are founded on cvidences gathered from Government reports issued from the different Departments and cer- tified to be correct, and from personal observa- tions made by mysclf and others whilst among the Indians. b . The peace policy (or what W. H. Eddy terms the insane policy) has been in operation‘about six years. Take the history of the six years im- mediately preceding, or of any six years pre- ¥lous to this time, and compare the two eras. ‘We will find that since the. inauguration of the peace policy there lasbeen a less number of persons killed in battle with Indians, or molest- ed and murdered by Indians along the frontier, than during any previous period of the same length. The cxpenses of the Indian Depart- ment have been correspondingly less also, It has been truthfullysaid, it would be lessexpense to our Government to board the Indinns at any of the large hotels of our Eastern cities than to carry on a war with them a corresponding length of time. The cconomy of the policy is 2 poiut which it is well to consider. 2 The next point it is well for us to examine is whether the Indians are alone responsible for all of the lute troubles. Let me stop at this point, and sa{ that I regret 2s much as any one can and feel as much horror as any one at the terrible massacres which have lately oceurred in the Indian country. Brave Gen. Custer and his comrades fell, not as a sacrifice to the peace policy of the Government, but a sacrifice to the Tolly and avarice of those who have endeavored to force our Government to send troops into the region of the Black Hills. Have any of the Indians on the reservations leftto enzage in the war? None, except it may bea few stragglers who were not content to remain settled any- where. If I mistake not, Sitting Bull, the Chief who seems to be the head of the Indian forces, has never cntercd ‘into any treaty with our Government at any time for the cession of lands or _otherwisc. Supposc the,] case was reversed. Supposc W. H. Eddy was the possessor of the country surrounding the Black Hills, and had been reared in the tradi- tions of the Indians, with the same knowledge and ideas that the Indian has, @re we to suppose that he would have done differently? Is not self-defense one of the first principles inherent in our mature? And are tuey not very few fu number who have attained that point of Chris- ‘tian growth where they obey the injunction to “resist not evil but overcome ¢vil with good?”? May we not truthfully ask oursclves whether the Indians do not feel they arc doing right, under the circumstancesin which theyare placed, and with the knou‘lcd%& they now bave? . And how are we to teach them better? Will the bratal method of hanging 100 Indians for every white murdered, as 7 . _E. sug- gests, accomplish the work? No, never. After all the precious blood spilt and treasure spent to recon- struct the Southern States the labor was still undone. The bayonet may conquer, but the spelling-book and” school-teacher have to go atter to educate and convince. “They that take thesword shall perish with the siord.” The sword reacts fearfully on the nation or peo- pie that usc it, as we have learned in our own costly experience. Doubtless some in the regu- Iar army would like an Indian war to occur, and to occur frsquently. It would give them em- loyment. M}inzvct.s and promotions come slow- Py in times of peace, and more rapidly in time of war. There is another view of the subjeet, which T will just touch upon. 1tisa singular fact that Tndians farthest removed from our fronticrs are the most moral, while those around trad- ing posts, forts, and other places, espeg 1y “where dctachments of _rej troops are stationed, become corrupted. lar Why 15 it that around these points there are so many illegitimate children? Mayit not be that in sending these soldiers among - them to preserve peace, we really send a sword of contention in the shape of bad mcn in the rank and file of our armies? Do _you find such a state of affairs on the reservations where the ngc.'me policy is en- forcea or carried out? I think not. One more point, and then Iwill close. W. H. Eady, near the close of 1 article, says, “Let the food and philanthropic Quakers retire from the field where there experiments have proven fatile in attempting to govern the enemies of civilization, and' when they so retire, let them understand the fact that, however Successful they have been in the tamer pursuits of cultivat- ing broom-corn and garden-seeds, the governing of Indian brutes isan employment for which, for the benefit of humanify, they are not adapted.” The labors of the Quakers have not proven futile by any mecans. Take the report of the Commissioner of Indian Af- fairs, and you will find there has been a steady rogress in_civilization,—a civilization not de- &ced by such practices as he advocates, but one better becoming true manhood. Every year their crops of grain are increased, new houses built, more land cultivated, school-houses erected, and, in fact, advancement in every- thing which will be for their best and true in- terest.. Beforc the Quakers went smong them many Indians were diseased, now health is more gencral. Then drunkenness was prevalent, now temperance. Is this no change? I suppose W. JI. E. was ignorant_of the state of affairs, and wrote simply from blind impulse. Besides, the Quakers are not the only sect who have endeavored to carry out the wise poliey Whole families were Lliomes. i —&s a_commanding officer, responsible for the lives of his men and the consequences of his actions,—neither Gen. Custer or any other Gen- :m!, dead or alive, should cujoy such immuni- Y. In o military point of view, as seen by the light of common sense, the expedition of -Cus. ter, undertaken with so smalla force, and in the face of n treacherous and wily foe, was a fatal Blunder. It was a risk whick, under such cir-r cumstances, no man should have attempted. Admitting that he was deceived as to the number and power of the enemy, so was Gen. Sheridun deceived; so was Gen. Sherman; so was Congress. . mBut" Tdocs that justify the mgadness of the at- mpf No great General should ever be surprised, and really great Generals rarcly are. They should acquaint themselves with the risk, and be prepared for any emergency. This Gen. Custer did not do. The consequence was that be was surrounded by ten times his force, and every man killed,—not in tair fight, but mur- dered, shot down like -dogs, massacred, muti- lnl;fd, \\'xlli\ DDHD‘;I;J left to lell] the tale. 0 speak mildly, it was valor, not judgment, that led these 300 men to thels shughter, 1o underestimate the force of the enemy, is always an error; but that & man of such large: experi- ence a8 Gen. Custer should have been so grossly deceived is one of those facts which it is diflicult to_explain. % When 2 _General, bravery, endangers fair * prospect of leaving for his coun- ) 2 result proportionate to the danger, he commits a fault,—a fault which, in case of survival, is certain to be condemned. But, when brave men are in their graves, we love to screen them with the mantle of charity. But this poiut s clear: had Custer been a man of less bravery, perhaps, and more caution, he would have been 2 better General, and would have reserved his force until, with vigor and skill, he could have dealt the enemy a sure_and terrible blow. E.W. . ATROCIOUS SIOUX. TOE INTERESTING PETS OF MAWKISIL SENTI- MENTALISTS—MNELLISI DEEDS IN THE MINNE- SOTA VALLEY 1IN 1862, 81, Louis Globe-Demecrat. TIsasc V. D. Heard, who was a member of Col. Sibley’s expedition azainst the Sioux, or Dako- ta Indians, in 1862, has left us a somewhat de- tailed account ‘of the horrible massacres and shocking outrages whith took place in the Minucsota Valley in that and the suc- ceeding year. This ‘war - and the massa- cre were inaugurated in August, 1562, by four Indians belonging to the upper Miunesota tribes of the Dakota Nation, and were caused mainly by the real and fancied; injustice of which the red men were made,or thought them- selves tohave been made, the' victims, as well as by the enormous extortions of the traders at the Agencies. The four Indians to whom the beginning of the bloodshed is credited by Heard, were belonging to Shakopee's village, &t ‘the mouth of Rice Creck. They were on their way to Acton when they attacked and killed two men named ‘Baker and Webster, a Mr. Jones and wife, and a Miss Wilson. Having accomplished these murders they has- tened to Shakopee’s village and informed the rest of the tribe what they had done. » A GENERAL MASSACRE of the whites was immediately resolved upon, and messengers were sent to the bands of Wabashaw, Waconta, and Red Legs. The Shakopee band then procecded to the Agency under Little Crow, their Chief; the village wus entered fn small partics, and the houses and storessurrounded. The dischargeof a cun wasto be thesignal for simultaneousattack: Thisgiven, the hideous painted savages, with mad shouts and -wild shrieks, began the slaughter and plunder. Age, sex, foriner friendships or kind- nesses, availed nothing. Every building but two at the Agency was burnod. " The massuere ex- tended down the river o both sides, below the fort, to within 6 milesof New Ulm, and up the river to Yellow Medicine. Large numbers pcr- ished at Beavep#td Sacred Heart Creeks. Par- ties of men, ybmen, and children wereinter- cepted in their flight and MERCILESSLY SLAUGHTERED AND MUTILATED. Near New Ulm, a father and his two sons were stacking wheat, when twelve Indians ap- proached unscen and killed the three. ‘Then they entered the farmer’s house. and killed two of “his young children in the presence of their mother, who was ill with consumption, and dragged the motber and a daughter, aged 13 years, miles away to their camp. There, In the presence of her dying mother, they stripped off the young girl’s clothes, fastened her upon her DbucK to the ground, and onc by one the savage brutes violated her person, until death came to her relief. Onc Indian went into a house where a woman was making bread. Her’small child was in the cradle. He sgm the mother’s head open with his tomahawk and placed’ the babe in the hot oven until it was almost dead, when he beat its ‘brains out against the wall. CHILDREN WEZRE NAILED LIVING TO TABLES AND DOORS, and.knives and tomahawks thrown at them un- til they were dead. Cut-Nose, one of the Chicfs, when brought to trial, acknowledged several of his atrocities, among which was the following: A partyof settlersweregathered togetherfor flight ; the hiclpless and defcuseless women and chil- dren being huddled together in wagons, The men having been_ killed, Cut-Nose, while two other Indiaus held the horses, leaped into one of the wagons, and in cold blood tomahawked them all—cleft open the head of each, while the others, !Lchfled with horror and powerless with 1right, as they heard the heavy, dull blows crash through flesh and bones, awaited their turn. ‘Taking an infant from its mother’s arms, before her eyes, with a bolt from one of the wagons the Indians c RIVETED IT THROUGI ITS WRITHING LITTLE BODY TO TIE PENCE, and left it there to dic in agony. The mother ‘was kept alive and made to witness this agoniz- excess of through without a his men, ing spectacle, after which they chopgcd off her- o arms and legs, and left her to bleed to death. Thus Cut-Nose and his band_ ruthlessiy buteh- ered twenty-five persons within a_quarter of an acre, and then, kicking the bodics out of the “wagons, they filled them with plunder from the burning houses and pushed on for more ad- ventures. An old Indian, shriveled almost to 2 mummy, when placed on trial, was confronted by two little boys, his accusers, Looking at him 1 mo- ment one of them said, “I saw that Indian shoot a man while he was on his knees at pray- er;” and the other boy said, *I saw Lim sksot my mother.” L The womb of a pregnant mother was ripp open, the palpitating infant torn forth, cut its, and By THROWN INTO THE FACE OF TIIE DYING WOMAN.

Some of our sect have been and are noted Judges and law-givers, physicians and surgeons, merchants and ~bankers, tradesmen a.nEg farmers, whose record for integrllg' and ability is an honor to the nation.

Thy friend, Dr.Jaues W. HAINES, THE CUSTER MASSACRE. CRITICISM OF THE GENERALSHIP THAT RESULTED IN SO TERRIBLE A DISASTER. To the Editor of The Tribune. Cn10AGo, July 21.—As some time has elapsed since the massacre of Gen. Custer and his com- panidPs, it may be well to consider briefly the truc causes of the calamity. It isonly in this way that the recurrence of such disasters can be avoided. The bravery of Custer no one cver doubted. He was noble, g:nerous, accomplished, the soul of honor and of chivalry. Ilis experience in Indion warfare had been great. Scarcely an officer in the land was deemed his superior. : The loss of such a man is a heavy loss. Itis proper that a nstional monument should be erected on his grave. It is proper that a pen- sion shonld be granted to his widow; and it is to be hoped that all the widows Will be equally or relatively endowed. " But, in afl that has been spoken, scarcely 2 word of criticism bas fallen from the press, 50 profound has been the impression of eor- row which has rested upon all hearts. But, had Custer escaped, there can be no doubt, that the voice of recrimination would have becn loud. The death which be shared gives to hiia 8 certain immupity. As a man we have onl words of praise for Custer. But,asa General, ceived several ages, was held prostrate on the ground by four far outnumbering those who were to captives, and in -cvery case the women were brutally treated. and suffering from a severe wound. alternative, however, was given her of submit- ting to their fiendish embraces, or secing her only surviving child murdered. 1 produced premature labor, but even this did not shield her. d i _heartless indignitics to save an infant child; it availed nothing, however, as the infant was wrested from her arms and Onelady captive was enceinte, The dread This brutality Another submitted to the same ITS BRAINS DASHED OUT against the wagon she was driving. irl, only 10 years old, who had re- One little wounds at the hands of the gav- of her captors, und violated by more than twen- ty of the tribe at a time; and this,was kept up from day to day until she was nérly lifcless. Another” little givl, aged 9, was treated still the savages, in cdnsequence of’ rs, having Found it necessary to MUTILATE HER PERSON ~ to gratify their lustful passion. Imagination more brut: cannot depict the enormities perpetrated upon these poor women. Shooting arrows into de- fenscless women and children constituted a fa- vorite amuscment of the younger warriors. In the Norwegian Grove, back of Henderson, one of their grossest and most wanton outrages was committed. Stripping a captive naked, they fastened ey arms and legs to the ground by tying them to stak 4 dozen or more of the savages then ravished her, and, when she was faiuting from her exhaustion, they sharpened a rail and DROVE IT INTO HER PERSON, Ieafing her to die in most horrible and excruci- ating torments. The bold frontiersmen made many determined stands for their homes and lives, but with little avail. The savage fury and overwhelming num- bers of the Sioux carried everything before them, and the pale faces found hope only in taking to the brush, where many of them died of starvation. Finally the news of these horrible outrazes reached " St. Paul, and troops were raised and sent out against the Indians, with Col. Sibler in command. The forces under Sibley amounted to 1,400 men, and in theirupward march through the valley they met A STREAM OF FUGITIVES ing their relief. Shakopee, Belle Ig.&iu, Henderson, and Peters were filled with {fugitives from the scenes of massacre, and cach of these villages was in momeuntary expectation of an attack from the savages, Oxcu were killed in the streets of the latter place, and hastily prepared over fires on the rround. The grist-mills were surrendered to the public use, All thought of property was abaudoned, women hung ubon each other’s neeks weeping, and the surviving tersor-stricken children_were erying piteously around their kuees. Houses and stables, alike, were occu- Elnd, and hundreds were without any shelter. 3mnkno, . cllc Plain was crowded too, so was 50 was Shakopee. PANIC EXISTED throughout the whole valley. And the safety of those towns, with the” thousands of lives within, depepded upon Col. Sibley’s suceess. Detachnents of mounted ;mdy foot-soldiers were dispatched to New Ulm and Fort Ridgely, the principal centres of the slaughter. ~The New Ulm' detachment eautiously approached the . town, expecting to cut ti‘l’ulr - way thiough the beleaguering Indians, ond to Le received with the cheers and hospitahty of the people, but mno sound grectdd their ears. Soon they saw, thickly scattered around, vast swollen carcasses of cows and oxcn, and horses, perforated with bullets. Presently they came upon the blackened rematns of burned buildings. Across the principal street lay the naked, headless body of 2 man, swollen like the cattle, and blackened in the sun, the head cut off and scalped, and tumbled some distance {rom the trunk. Of the street were new-mude graves, The doors of standing houses were ajar. Every place was silence; every place the confusion of o hasty departure. With drawn swords and pistols the soldiers rushed up and down the streets of THE DESERTED CITY. Friend and foc had departed. The Lake Sbelek scttlement, about 70 miles west of Mankato, and numbering.some forty- five persons in all, was attacked By the ban: of Lean Bear, White Lodge, and sfaepy Eyes. Three women and six children were shot down by one Indian wio had been the recipient of. Ifrequent charities from the very persons he so cruelly murdered. Only twenty persons es- caped, ten or eleven beirg taken prisoners, and the remainder killed. A detachment of soldicrs under Maj. Brown were surprised and surrounded by the Indians, and when relieved by Col. Sibley they had been thirty-nine hours without food or water, and with” but thirty rounds of ammunition. The cnm'f when rescued, wis surrounded by the dead bodics of the hérse, over ninety In fume ber. The tents were riddled with bullets, as many as 104 being found in a single one. Ditches were dug between the tents and the dead horses, and the dirt piled on the latter to form a breastwork. Thirteen dead and mauy wounded soldiers were found in the ditch. A Tew fect distant were found more dead bodics, TWENTY-THREE NAVING BEEN KILLED in all, and forty-five wounded. Sib(f]y was compelled o remain fnactive for many days at the fort, owing to want of am- munition and supplies, and during this time correspondence was carried on with the Indians for the delivery of captives and a cessation of hostilitics. Nothing was necomplished in either direction. At the battle of Wood Lake, on the 18th of September, Sibley lost four men, and had about 50 wounded. The Indian loss was 15 killea, all of whom were su!JJ!ed by the soldiers. On September 26, the Indian camp opposite the mouth of the Ch(pgcvay ‘was taken,and the white captives released, Little Crow and somo 200 warriors having hurriedly fled. This vir- tually ended the Sioux war. A “military commission of inquiry was ap- pointed toascertain the guilty L&mics, and thirty or forty arrested. Many Indians gave them- sclves up, and others were surprised in the night. The prisoners were linked together in L):\irs by chains forged to their ankels. On the 21st of October other prisoners were brought in from Wild Goose Neck Lake, and on the 234 more were captured at the Yellow Medi- cine Agency. The prisoners were taken to Fort Suelling, where over 400 of them were tried. Of these 303 were sentcnced to death and cighteen to imprisonment. The records of the testimony and sentences of the Indrg.ls were sent to the President, but no action was taken for several weeks. Finally, thirty-cight of them were ordered to be ex- ecuted at Mankato, on Fridey, the 26th day of February, 1863. This sentence was carried into efcet on the appointed day, and the remainder were taken down the Mississippi to Davenport and confined. il MARINE NEWS. * PORT HURON. Special Dispatch to The Tribuns.

The County Normal- school at Englewood has| long been_notorious for| its public inefliciency, its| internal scandals, its scc- tarian propagandism, and| its contemptible stand- ingas an educational in- stitution. Three canses have contributed to this, general resnlt: the wn- Jortunate selection of Mr. D. S. Wentworth as- its héad; the subjection of] the institotion to the po-| Jitical influences of ‘the County Board; and the| sectarian- capionage which bas turned | echool supported by, taxation on all classes fato u propaganda -for| evangelical cant and| sniveling hypocrisy. 1t may surprise and _amuse the tax-payers of Caok County to learn that they, are nssessed for - the maintenance of chapel, rayers, instruction in iblical and other codes, and that the Cook Coun- ty Normal School is “‘run ™ in the interest of certain sects just as thoroughly_ as if~ these sects owned it, and did not_ask the people off Cook County of all de- uominations to pay its entire expenses.

As _political _influcace) craatod him Principal at| Englewood. he has had| to endare the misfortunc| of remaining subject to| the same influence as g condition of his tenure; and, as political infln- ences representing other| predilections than those, which created him have of lste years obtained, some_strength in the County Board of Educa- tion, Mr. Wentworth hag ‘been compelled todevote, political _friendships, eluding_ politicsl comi- ties, *“fixing" this man, “*putting-up-jobs ' on that, and participating in| all_the disgusting and| embarrassing _ disputes| which_arise out of such| a condition of affairs.

Thus far there i3 a dead- lock, the Commissioners standing four for Mr, Wentworth, the present Principal, dnd four for u man named Phelps, at present, or ot late, at the cad - of the Normal School in Winona, 1t may be as well that the public should under- stand that this whole movement originated in 2_denominational con- spirucy to obtai; lsion of the Englewood School, or to close it up. This denomination is one which Lolds all secnlar jand free schools as the invention of the Devil, but which is_cntirely willing o control public chools and Boards of Eddeation whenever it can [meaning the Irich Catholics). In view of its deudly hostility to all free, secular schools, its Purpoge in aiming to sc- [cure control of “Educa- tional Boards and of the Principalship of public schools may' mmfiy be rogarded asiucluding no friendly intent.

Finally a decision was filed affirming the judgment of the Court below, and directing that the defend- ant be resentenced to death. A In those days the Sacramento Union was about the only paper circulating in that remote county, and wfimc\'er appcnmfi in its columns was taken as being undoubtedly the fact. The number coutaining the Supreme Court decision arrived at the county seat, aud the Sheriff saw it, and concluded that the matier was scitled finally. 8o, wilking into the jail, he addressed the defendant with, “*Well, the Supreme Court has aflirmed the judgment_in your case; it's Pprinted fn the Sacramento Dnion. “Ts it said the prisoner; ‘ that’s rough, but I guess I’Il have to stand it.” “Well,” said the Sherilf, I have got to hang you; you have been in Lere a good while, an expense to the county, and the sooner the thing is over the better.” **There is no use being in a ‘hurry,” said the prisoner; ‘give a fellow a chancc to get m?‘dl‘i."

Taylor, now of Vir- ginia Cityswho was then on the Beneh, inquired of the clerk if the remittitur had been sent down, and being advised in the aflimative, said: I gucss we had better have the prisoner brought up this morning and resentenced.” He was rather surprised when the Sheriff inno- cently informed him that the law had already been fully satistied, and that the eriminal had bLeen sent before a cougt: whence there could be no appeal. ——————— FIRES.
