THE INDIAN WAR. . The Commander and the Expedition Against the Sioux. THE THEORY OF OPERATION. ‘What Was Accomplished by the Early Spring Expedition. A FRONTIER EDITOR ON THE SITUATION Seathing Denunciation of the Manage- ment of Indian Affairs. —_-_—_ Omama, May 16, 1876. The relations of the government with the Sioux Indian nation havo evidently reached at last the crisis which military men on the frontiers of Nebraska, Dakota and Wyoming have predicted so long. It was im anticipation of this that Brigadier General George A. Crook was, in 1875, transferred from Arizona, where be had rendered brill service to the command of the Department of the Platte, which includes in its boundaries the principal agencies of tbe only savage tribes whose power is a cause ot apprehension to the whites, His ability in warfare with tho Indians has been so well demonstrated in the country of the Apaches, Comanches and Kiowas that it needs no eulogy. In the War Office it is held im nigh eateem and has caused the giving to him of the task of reduc- ing to submission the wild bands of the Sioux. No brigadier in the army could have inspired the people of this department with more of confidence tn the efficacy of his protecting power. His mtention, of fully exert- ing it te determined, The measures to tbat end are to be offensive as well as defensive until the enomy of the miner and settlor shall huve recognized the futility of further attempts at aggression and independence. Ac» cordingly THE RXPRDITION has been projected which is 10 rendezvous at Fort Fot- terman, in Wyoming Territory, ana is to move thence §nto the region which ts the summer resort of Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull the Elder and Little Big Man, and whence they make their incursions upon the white settlements, It is a beautitul country, traversed by he Big Horn, Yellowstone and Powder rivers, and wboundg in game and pasture, A portion of it is the patrimony and stronghold of the Crows (the Absaro- kee), where, howover, they are perpetually harassed, and often beaten and massacred by tho Sioux, their ancient gpd inveterate foos. It \s probable that in the coming expedition the services of Crow scouts will be employed and the old-time feud atilized, Some Pawnees also are expected to volunteer to fight on the side of the troops, They owe the ruin of their tribe tothe Sioux, who now occupy their an- ciant domain, . The united forces of the hostile Sioux are supposed to number about 8,000 warriors. Constant remforce- ments will be available for them from among the young. nen Who lounge about the agencies on the White River during the winter, and who amuse thomse}ves dy committing murder and rapine during the summer, The whole boay of troops which will be directed against them will number 3,000 men, principally cavalry. General Crook will be in active command, accompanied by his aides, Captain A. H, Nicholson and Lieutenant Bourke. The march will begin about June 1, THX BARLY SPRING XXxPEDITION, of which meagre and imperiect accounts have been Published, was littlo less than a failure, its results be- ing much inferior to anticipation. From ono of the ablest fleld officers of the West I have received 8 clear description of the battle in whieh it culminated, tought with Crazy Horso’s band near the Powder River. But for the remissness of two suberdi- Bate officers it would undoubtedly have proven a great victory for the troops. Those of them who wero in action did their daty admirably. Captain Eagan, a gal- lant Comfnander, drove the Indians into a deep canyon steeply walled by blufls, while Captain Noyes, execut- Ing a rapid inovement, captured their herd of ponies, which was grazing on the bottom, Captain Moore, who was étationed on the plateau, was ordered to advance to the edge of the canyon and pour a plunging fireupon the enemy huddied in tho narrow spaco velow, Had this.been done there is no doubt that they would have been annihilated. It i said that Captain Moore did not move to his position and per- mitted the Indians to escape. They afterward recap- tured their pontes, Captain Noyes having unsaddied his horses before the tiring bad ceased, immediately alter sweeping the herd off across the river. For this conduct he has recently been tried by court martial ‘and reprimanded, The officer whose special duty it was to destroy with his command the Sioux villago with fire and carbine, has given no explanation of his where- abouts during the action. It is simply known that he ‘was not there. lt appears from the above facts that the attack upon Crazy Horse was well planned, but that it miscarried through the cowardice, jealousy or stupidity of subalterns, 1t is rumored that two or three of these are to be tried by court martial, and itis probable that their conduct will then appear in the true hght, According to General Crook’s theory of fighting the Indians of tho plains the season in which that military stroke was attempted was much more favorable to success than the months of summer. Tho enemy were then found encamped ina village, From Juve unti! October they will wander from pasture to pasture and bumting ground to hunting ground, and the probability of entrapping them in ingo @ fair engagement is very faint.

Those whd have given the just wovocation have the result on their own head. And f in the struggle, which must soou onsue, the Sioux are beaten by (be soldiers, it will not be because their cause is unjust.” “1 believe you.?? “But it is not so certain that hee 4 will be overcome, Their armamont is magnificent.

'? ‘The steady fire of dismounted troops is greatly superior in its execution to that of savages mounted on horseback ?"” , i “But if. they caf surround a smaller body they surely will anninilate it, The Fort Phil Kearney massacre, in which the brave Fetterman tell, illus- trates their prowess, They led a pursving party of eighty soldiers into. the pore arms of their reserve bands-and then enclosed theni so that no soul escaped to tell the tale,” The editor drew examples in which army officers, in hus opinion, have been guilty of crueltyjust as savage ag that sometimes committed by the Sioux, one of which was the massacre at Fort Lyons, ordered by Chiving- ton. In his opinion the prospect of a_ fight with the wild bands this summer, was small. Many expeditions had gone after them in previous years with sanguin- ary anticipations, had marched all over the country where their camps are supposed to exist and returned in the autumn without a fight Yet the increased strength of the hostile hody and the excellence of their arms might ars them with greater than their usual bold- pegs, while the invasion of the Black Hills by minors and the shameful treatment of their friends at the agencies might lend them desperation, A bitter, final struggle may occur, THE .N\ATIONAL GAME, THE ARLINGTONS DEFEAT THE OLYMPIOS AT PATERSON—GAMES ELSEWHERE—NOTES. The Arlingtons, of this city, visited Paterson, N. J., yesterday, to engage In the first game of ageres with the well-known Olympic Club, of that place, Tho visitors were short the services of their catcher, left and contre fielders, Sage, Gedney and Walsh, and their places had to be filled by substitutes, The Arlingtons obtained a lead at the start, which made the game look as though it would be aone sided affair, but the home club raihed in the seventh inning suffl- ciently to make the contest a most miteresting ono from that time to the close. After the second inning the fielding on botb sides was quite good, and the batting was made noteworthy by a tnrge-base hit by Fallon and Loughlin each. Of the fielding on the occasion, that of Loughlin at second base was ex- cellent, one stop of a grounder while running toward right. fleld being especially. praiseworthy. J. Tracey, Buchanan and Isherwood also did well in their posi- tions, Of the Olympic it can be said that they need a pitcher who.nas more command of the ball than their resent one and that their general fielding was good, Wocracken, Dolan and John Mullen did the best play- ing for their sido. The Arlingtons should be con- ratalated upon their victory under the circumstances. The following is the acore:— OLYMPIC. ARLINGTON, RAB PO.

THE TRAMWAY SYSTEM—RAPID TRAKSIT AND CHEAP FADES. In 1853 M, Loubat, a Frenchman, who had resided tor many years in the United States, laid down the fret tramways jntroduced in Puria. They consisted of two lines, one rauning from the Place de ia Concorde to Boulogne and Versailles and ‘the other from Rueil to Port Marly. They were known by the title of the Chemins de Fer Américains, that of ‘tramways’? being ot later adoption. At first they were looked upon with but little favor, aud 1 was not until they were extensively introduced in London and other English cities that attention of French legia- lators ai ators was drawn to them. In fact, it wasonly in 1873 that the advantages of the system were fairly recognized bere, In that year a city ordinance Was published authorizing the construction of several lines of tramway in Paris and the banlieu. This mode of conveyance has become exceedingly popular, and the Profits realized by the lines already laid down are 80 Jarge that people are eagerly investing their money in fresh enterprises of the same characte Three trai y Companios now divi the conveyance of ngers in Paris and its enviruns, A fourth charges itself specially with the transportation of passengers from Paris vo Versailles and the inter- mediate pointa, The Compagote Générale des Omnibus conveys on Sa ane lines passengers to andgrom the foliowing poin 1 From the Louvre to St, Cloud and the intermedi. ate points. k From the Louvre to Stvres and the intermediate points, 3.

VANDALISM IN MEMORIAL HALL. Paintings and Statuary Wil-; fully Damaged. The Austrian Section Partially ” Closed. MEETING OF THE COMMISSION, Purtapaurma, May 19, 1876. We bave had a clear day xt last’ The elements have dvigned to.smile upon the great Exhibition, and the re- sult has been a crowded attendance all day, All the buildings wero full of sight-secrs, but the main buildings and the art gulleries, as usual, re- ceived the lion’s share of attention, which goes to prove, I think, that we Americans have a greater fondnoss for art than wo get credit for, One of the great attractions ofa day at the Exhibit@n are the Gilmore concerts, which are given morning and afternoon, After walking over a portion of the scores of miles necessary to sce one of the great buildings—there are thirty-seven miles of passage ways in the main building, I believe—thore is nothing more refreshing than to sit down with the thousands of others and listen to the beautiful music of the band, But you will be wise if you bring your own camp stool, for the musa 1# becoming such an attraction that the station- ary 6 aro always full unless you go early. The authorities are arranging for a Series of continuous concerts to last nearly all day. Thore will be organ “recitals’’ in the early morning, then Gifmore’s band, then the pianofortes will be given @ chance—Paitison and others to play—then the or- gans again, and then Gilmore’s afternoon concert VANDALS AT THR EXHIBITION. It ts almost incredible that there should be found in @ civilized community persons malicious enough to wantonly injure and destroy the beautiful objects of the Exhibition. It is, nevertheless, true that costly and rare articles have already been irreparably injured, and that not by the stupid gawks and thick-witted boors who poke at everything with their umbrellas or paw them with dirty fingers, but by Vandals savage enough to designedly injure the loveliest works in the fair. Tho art gallerios offer an inviting field for these wretches, and many clioice pictures and marbles have suffered at ‘heir hands, The foreign Commissioners complain that thoir canvasses have been scratched and broken, and their statuary chipped and daubed to an alarming oxtent, Visitors to the Mo. morial Hall to-day were surprised to find the doors of the Austrian section closed und guarded. Inquiry at official sourges elicited the information that tho Austrian Commission had found several pictures cut and soratched, and they bad promptly re- solved to erect barriers against the mob more formidable than tho slight rail which now encircles their walle, Until this is done tho doors will be closed to all—tno good and the bad alike, the art worshippers and the Vandals who would deface it, The Austrian section contains what is, perhaps, the grandest picture in the entire collection, Hans Marxaat’s mas- torpleco of Venice Worshipping —_Cather- ine Cornaro,’? and her Commissioners *have done wisely in taking measures to prevent the possible in- jury ofeven this treasuro. As I said before, other foreign representatives make the same complaint and threaten to take the same summary steps unlesdé bet ter protection is aflorded their charges by the Centen- nial authorities. The Board of Finance has a force of 1,000 men, called the ‘Centennial guards,” whose office it is to police the buildings and grounds. They should fat once see to it either that these mon perform their duties more vigilantly, or, if their number is not largo enough, to make the needed increase inthe force, I saw one brute collared and ejected from Memorial Hall this morning for using the blade of his penknifo to mark the outline of a picture he particularly ad, mired; but I saw several others who were not ejected, but who ought to have been kicked ignominiously, A ORNTEXSIAL SAFE. Alarge tron safe, made by Marvin & Co., of New York, known as tho “Centennial safe,” is now on exhibition in Memorial Hall, and i" designed to contain memorial articles, It will be’ locked up on tho Slst of next Decembor,, and not opened for a c@tury, It bas inner doors of plate glass, Portraits of President Lincoln and Grant are painted on the outer doors, and a@ portrait of Washington, supported by the Union flag and the pine tree shilling, forms the central pictures in the cornice.

MAXSLAUGUTER AVENUR. Mr. Donelson made an attack on the narrow gauge railroad running throazh the grounds, for the reason that the cars run so fast that the lives of people are in danger. One person already had been hurt, while the long ‘ences and platforms obstruct travel and produce great inconvenience. When we have 200,000 visitora, as we are likely to have on Sunday (Mr. Lowrey.—Ob, LO!), these cars will be terribly in the way. Mr. Loring—These cars are an unmitigated nuisance be removed, thas and I insist that the fences shall horse power be substituted for steam and that sach @ Tate of speed be adopted as will permit people to get om or off where they please, Other members spoke with equal condemnation, making the points that people are thrown out of the tine ol travel by the serious Ob> structions, aud by the danger to human life, A PERSONAL EXPLANATION. Mr. Cleveland to a personal explapation on ac- count of being attacked in a Philadelplua paper, whic charged him as an enomy to the Exposition, which he declared to be false in every particular, and ‘he said he had done what he could outside and inside tbe jcom- m'ssion to forward the enterprise, and thw at 8 time when leaders were ‘discouraged; that New Jersey had contributed $100,000; | that he himself had suesbribed $1,000, nover expecting @ cont in return; that he bad not gost the commission one cent, not having even accepted the passes sent him, and that he was net a pauper living on the charity of Philadelphia. That abuse known as terminal charges is likely soom to come before the commission for investigation, THE FRENCH BOARD OV JUDGES.
