No witnesses for the defenso lmrpennd to be present when Mr. Halo closed his testimony, and Mr, Roby offered to rend some of the records of theBouth Park Comumlssloners, which be said wero necessary to his case. ‘The other side sceired skeptical as to his intentions, and intimated thot he only wanted to fill up time. Mr. Root suggested that tho reading of Tne ‘Prinuxe would do just us well. The Judgo in- timated that the statutes of Illinols wonld be fnstructive, and Mr, Root offered o pamphlet of offlcial proccedings, *Mr. Roby decllned all the offers, and flunlly, after some discussion, the Judge In disgust adjourned the court, remark.

The Supreme Court lnys down the rule that it cannot review the action of the Clrcuit Court In the cxerciso of their su- pervisory jurisdiction under the bunkrupt law. The effect will be to mako the Cireult Judge tho fnal umptre in such cuses. Thia will be uncam- fortable news to not a few who nave appealed from .Judge Drummond’s decislon.

Epectal Correspondence af The Tribune. Dxen Lopaz, Mon,, Dee. 15.—Since my last, the small fraction of people residing in Montana liave been, like the rest of the country, auxfous- ly waltlng for the verdict. At times party sS)lrlL ran high, and the old Rebel feeline was plainly shown, Threats of Insugurating Tiden at the paint of the bayonct were Irecly in- dulyed 1 and one prominent citizen bere aired his sentiments as follows: ** I nm a conserva. tive man, but am willing to-night to pledge my Jife, property, and honor that,i011ayes s * caunted in,’ no man an’mlulctl by him shall ever hold oflice in this Territory.” This may sound a, littie like tho “ resolootions ™ at the tass-meet- fug at * Confedrlt X roads,” and Pcrlm s the advent of a Unlted States Marahal would have produced the samne effect it did there, but the man was thoroughly fn earnest at the time, and thére are many others here who woulil bo mad and foolish enough to organize armed re- sistance to nny appointces of Iluyes if they thought there was the slightest chance of suc- cess, - Of courss this fuction, slthough compris- fng o Jargoe number of men,—more, nerhaps, in this cowity thun inany other in Montan,—is ouly n small part of our population, and there s no dnn{:cr of nuy outbreuk bere, whoever is nangurated, There wers many bets on the result, but the stakes have all been withdrawn, that sourco of oxcitement I8 over, aud qulet relgos, 'flxeru wiil probably bo lttle current news before the meeting of the Leglslature in Jan- uary, but some account of the operations of In- dinh Agents may be of Intcrest to your readers, For the benefit of those who may uot be posted, 1 will explain that un Indian Agent Is an ofticer ‘appoluted by the Govermment, whoso duties are to recelva and disburse nll supplivs for the tribe of which i lias charge, to reside with and exercloo a general aupervision over thent, His sulary s only $1,500 per annum, yet the posi- tlon fs one eagerly sought for, and I could nome half n dozen ex-Agents wlho have managed to save from $5,000 to $50,000 during a term of ofllce ravging from six monihw to four or five years. 3 2 ‘The Flathead or Jocko Agency is situated In the northwestern part of Montana, west of tho wain range of the Rocky Mountalns, near Flat- head Loke, Itis e small agency, and the tribe are peaceablo and semi-civilized, Tortunately for tho whites in that vicivity. From the thne of its establishment down to'the present date its ngents, with perhaps one or twe excentions, have carried on 2 system of unbluahing robbery. One agent was fndicted, became insune, and 1a now an Inmate of a lunatle asylom. A sceond died ofter his Indictment and before the case came to trial. An attempt was made to fudiet a third, and {t was found that he was saved by the statute of lmitations, This individual inude perhaps the cleanest sweep of all. 1ils wus n Leinporary appointment, but he lost no time, When*he took possession, the Agency was well supplied with wagons, tools, ete., and thers wos o lurge mnount of flonr and other supplies on hand. e speedily disposcd of all these, and wound up his brict ofticial capeer by givingn snorlgage op the reservation tof securc the l_my- ment of o debt to one of tho cmployes. This was n stroke of genlus that has nover been equaled.
