THE INDIAN CAMPAIGN. THE DEATH OF SITTING BULL CURRENTLY RE- PORTED AND BELIEVED—THE BODY RECOG- NIZED—EVIDENCES OF THE STRENGTH OF THE HOSTILES — LARGE REINFORCEMENTS FROM THE AGENCIES—TROOPS AND SUPPLIES MOVING TO THE FRONT. Bismanck, D. T., July 20, 1876. Sitting Bull was undoubtedly killed in the Little Horn battle. His body was recognized by Fred Girard, an interpreter at General Terry’s headquarters, who has been among the Indians for the last twenty-six years, and the description of Sitting Bull given by William Courtalley, of the Berthold Agency, who knew him well, is a perfect description of the body found which was at first supposed that of Sitting Bull. EVIDENCE OF AN INDIAN. Goodnow, a Sioux at Fort Rice, who, two days before the battle, gave a detailed plan of Sitting Bull’s campaign, including the abandoned village and the larger village into which it was intended to decoy the troops, together with a descrip- tion of the ground, gives a similar de scription of Mr. 8S Bull, In further con- firmation of the theory that he was killed we have astatement which comes through an Indian chief (Grass) at Standing Rock that he was killed, to- gether with Black Moon, Crazy Horse and six other chiefs. THE STRENGTH OF THE INDIANS. The statement that Sitting Bull's band | of Uncpapas lost 160, and that the = cn- tire Indian loss was between 300 and 400 is renewed, Jo show that Sheridan still under- estimates the strength of the hostiles, I give you the following facts:—Last week acount of all the Indian lodges in and about Standing Rock, including the scattering lodges for twenty miles up and down the river, was made, and the number proves to be 297, or about 1,500 Indians, when there should be 7,000. INDIANS ABSENT FROM THE RESERVATION Agent Leman, who was present when the beef rations were issued last week to the Indians, says that the rations were drawn as usual by the chiefs of the respective bands, and there was so great a surplus that lodges of four to seven Indians drew from three to five head of beef cattle each. Another gentleman says that there are less than twenty young warriors at his agency, and another that where the plains were swarming with well armed Indians, when rations were drawn last fall and winter, at the last drawing there were but four guns in sight. Mrs. Gallopin, well known to officials as a reliable Indian woman, says there are not to exceed 200 men atthe agency where there should not be less than 2,000 warriors. REINFORCEMENTS TO THE HOSTILES. From which it would seem that the Indians have been reinforced with neariy 2,000 warriors from this agency alone, and those well armed. Your correspondent has known the, men who bring this information three years, and knows them to be reliable and accepts fully their state- ments. All but fifty lodges out of the camp of more than 1.000 have either joined the hostiles or moved to the east side of the river. They pretend they fear an attack from the hostiles, and for that reason have moved their women and children to the east side. TROOPS TO THE FRONT. The steamer Carrol left for the Yellowstone this afternoon with six companies of the Twenty-second infantry to reinforce Terry, and one hundred and fifty tons of supplies. The Western will follow to- morrow with horses and recruits for the Seventh cavalry. THE CLOTHING OF CUSTER'S MEN. Indians have come into the outer camps, at Stand- ing Rock, wearing oMcers’ clothing and arms, and also wearing the sashes and carrying the arms of the Seventh cavalry oMicers or men. Five wounded have been reported to the commandant at Standing Rock as having arrived from the Ijs- tiles at that agency, but they are kept hid by their friends. REINFORCEMENTS MOVING TO TERRY'S HEAD- QUARTERS—-THE PBOFOSED FORTS ON THE YELLOWSTONE. Bismarck, D. T., July 20, 1876. Six companies of the Twenty-second regiment of infantry and 175 recruits for the Seventh cavalry have left Fort Lincoln to jotn General Terry at the mouth of the Big Horn River, These troops are under the command of Colonel Otis, of the Twenty-second, and are largely made up of old soldiers used to frontier warfare. They were in- spected last evening in their camp by Inspector | that Secretary Robeson lent large sums of government General Baird, and presented a fine appearance. | | The command is in EXCELLENT SPTRIT, and will, no doubt, give a good account of the Sioux. Great energy has been shown by Captain Burns, the Quartermaster at Fort Lincoln, in furnishing the Carroll arrived from Powder River as soon as was expected. Since Colonel Otis arrived he has dis- piayed unceasing energy, and there is no donbt | but that the reinforcements under his command will be hurried forward with the greatest possible | speed. It is calculated that Coionel Otis will not reach General Terry's headquarters much before twelve or fiteen days. General Forsyth, of Sheridan’s staf, accompanies the troops. He goes to consult with General Terry respecting the location of the forts which it is proposed to erect on the Yellowstone. ARRIVAL OF A COURIER FROM TAR ARMY THE FIELD—ALL QUIET AND WALL cAMP. IN IN Omawa, Neb., July 20, 1876. A message was received this morning from the com- mandiug officer at Fort Fetterman which says:—‘A private courier has just arrived from the command in the field, who left on the might ot the lTth, The day previous a courier was started with a mail and official mattor, bat bas not yet arrived.

THE LOUISIANA POLITICAL CAMPAIGN, pes Fight of the Democratic Factions Over the Resumption Act. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasnixeton, July 20, 1876. THE FIGHT OVER THE REPEAL OF THE RE- BUMPTION ACT—SOFT MONEY MEN LOSING GROUND. The democratic caucus to consider the repeal of the Resumption act has been postponed until Tuesday evening next. The battle on this question is not yet over, but it is certain that the soft money men are losing ground. There are persons here trom Indiana who strongly urge repeal and foretell a heavy bolt of extreme greenback men in their State it the House does nothing, and they magnify the danger and the evil offect of losing Indiana; but, on the other hand, it begins to be seen by a great many Southern and some Western democrats that a repeal by the House means nothing, as the senate will not coneur, and It is also argued that the party bas promised in its platform a policy which it will carry | out if it comes into power, but that it is not now in power, is not responsible for the present condition of things and would act absurdly if it undertook to assume ashare of responsibility before the country while yet it has not coutrol and can exerciso none, These views are gaining favor, and it \s now probabie that the cau- cus, if tt meots next Tuesday, will reject the motion for a repeal, ANOTHER EXTENSION OF THE OLD APPROPRIA- TIONS—-HOW THIRTEEN MONTHS’ APPROPRIA- TIONS ARE LIKELY TO BE MADE FOR THE YEAR AND THE REMEDY. The delay over the appropriation bills necessitated to-day another extension to tho 1st of August of tho old appropriations, Mr, Randall said he thought ne conld promise to ask no more; but it is now seen that there will be in effect thirteen months’ appropriations made for the year—namely, one month now made at the vid rato and the regular bills for the whole year at the now rate. This anomalous re- | sult attracts’ attention, and it may be that when all the bills are passed some action will be proposed by the House whereby the expenditures for August shall be deducted from the gemeral sums appropriated for the year, If this were not done the delay arising out of the dispute between the two houses would, in fact, cause extravagance instead of retrenchment in expenditures, and ander such arule it would be In the power of tho Senate, by resisting and delaying appropriation Uills, to defeat any scheme of economy or retrenchment in expenditures, FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasuinetox, July 20, 1876, SECRETARY ROBESON'S IMPEACHMENT AGAIN POSTPONED —DISAGRREMENT BETWEEN THE REAL ESTATE POOL AND THE NAVAL Com- MITTEES—HOW THE LAW WAS VIOLATED IN THE APPOINTMENT OF JAY COOKE, M’CUI- LocH & CO., AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF MONEY TO THEM. The proposed impeachment of Seeretary Robeson has gone over for another day, and as the House has decided to hold no session on Satarday may not come up until next week. The delay has been out of det- erence to the Naval Gommittee, the members of which havo been quite anxious to get both committees to act together in the presentation of their reports and rec- ommendations to the House. The ground 1s taken by the Real Estate Pool Committee that, with the opinion of the Judiciary Committee given in advance that Sec- retary Robeson’s offence 13 impeachable, there is no reason for proceeding to impeachment in any other way than by direct resolution; but the Naval Commit- tee, despite the obtained opinion of the Ju- diciary Committee, are im favor of turning the charges over to the Judiciary Com. mittee, with instructions to report articles of Impeachment if the case shall warrant that extremity, ‘This is the situation of the matter to-night. The re- port of the Naval Committee, the substanco of which has been already made public, was signed by a ma- jority of the committee to-day, and will be accompan- fed by a minority report from the republican members, declaring thero 18 no warrant for impeachment. Tho | report of Mr. Glover's committee on the Real Estate Pool was drafted to-day, but is to be considered at a further meeting of the committee to-morrow morning affii may be acted upon in time to allow of the offering of the resolution of impeachment soon after the House begins business. The report will, it is said, recite tho evidence of Paymaster Bradford as substantially related 1 today’s HeRaLp, showing ia the clearest’ manner money to Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co, and did not re quire them to pay out of these funds the navy drafts, but, as expressly stated by Paymaster Bradford, | supplied him with separate tunds to meet theso drafis, Itisthus shown thatthe Secretary used the | money of the government for the bouellt of this bank- ing firm. The report shows that in doing this he vio- | Jated a number of statutes—sections 3,039, 3,648, , 5,488, 5.490, and 5,439—all of which protibit such mis- application or unauthorized use of the public funds, | and make 1t a erimmal offence. | It is further shown that while the Barings were | to and confirmed by the Senate as agents vy, the secretary of the Senate certifies that | MeCullociy & Co, were nover so nominated | or confirmed, It is shown also by a letter from Secre- | tary Robeson to the committee, thatin May, 1871, he | laws, | statement of Postmaster General: Tyner, wrote a letter to Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co., designat- ing them to perform this service and 9 copy | of their letter accepting and another letter | from the Steretary to Baring Brothers, notifying | them that their function was taken turned over to Jay Cooks, McCnjioch & Co. The law, | section 1,550 of the Revised Statutes, specially prohibits such employment, unless the person employed is ap- pointed by and with the consent of the Senate, and section 6,458 declares thet every disbursing officer of the United States who dope om them ond its wny public mon trusted to bim ja any place or in any manner, | except a8 authorized by law, or loons with or without interest, or for any purpose not prescribed by jaw withdraws Irom the Treasurer, or for any purpose not prescribed by law transfers or ap- plies avy portion of the public money intrusted to is, inevery such act, deemed guilty of an embers ment of the money so deposited, loaned, transferred or applied and shall be punished by imprisooment with hard labor tor a term not less than one year nor more ten years or by @ fine or ty both. The | therefore, recommend that Mr. Robe laws of the United States, and to that end recommend the adoption of revolntions impeaching him ot high crimes and tisdemeavors, instructing the Judiciary Committee to prepare forthwith articles of impeach to proceed immediately to the bar of the Seats and there im Uy Secretary Kobesou in the usual manner, | the Attorney General of the United States to be at the same time notified of the proeeedings, that he may take | such action in the premises ashe may deem proper under the haw, LOUISIANA POLITC8S—-GOVERNOR KELLOGG AND MARSHAL PACKARD IN WASHINGTOX—DI8- | GUST OF REPUBLICANS AT THE NOMINATION | OF THE LATTER—AN ¥ASY DEMOCRATIC ViC- | TORY PREDICTED, Governor Kellogg and Marshol Packard are expected here during the course of the night the former en route for New York, where ho is going, it is said, to Seek to enlist the aid and ¢o-operation of the holders of Louisiana bonds in favor of Packard for the next Governor in Louisiana. Packard comes here, it 1s sald, to tender to the President bis resignation of the office of -United States Marshal, This, it might be quite naturally tnferred he could do by matt or telegraph as weil, The explanation of his coming is that he intends, when he has resigned his place, to ask President Grant to confer it on Hugh J. Campbell, one of the District judges of the State and counsel to the Metropolitan Board of Police of New Orleans. Campbell went South with the army, settled in New Oricups and has been quite prominent since in local politics. He was the sergeant at-arms who assisted General Sheridan 1m arresting and putting out of the State House the democrats who obstructed organization on the famous Lith of September. Tho nomination of Packard has chilled republican enthu- siasm in Louisiana, and his easy defeat is prodicted by his opponent: Warmoth is out of the canvass, sum- Mmering it at Capo May, and General George A, Sheri- dan, the great stump orator of the party, has come North in disgust, and spends most of his time in Wash- ington, The Democratic State Convention meets at Baton Ronge on the 24th inst’ There aro at least half a dozen candidates for the nomination, with the chances of McEnery tair for getting it. x GENERAL WASHINSTON DESPATCHES. Wastunctoy, July 20, 1876 THE VACANT COMMISSIONERSHIP—RUMOR OF THE INTENDED APPOINTMENT OF REPRESEN- TATIVE M'DOUGALL, OF NEW YORK. A rumor was in circulation at the Treasury Depart ment to-day that the President will to-morrow nomi- nato General McDougall, member of Congross from New York, to be Commissioner of Internal Revenue.

Congress has directed the Sceretary of the Treasury to pay the August and Febrnary interest on the 3.65 bonds during the fiseal year ending June 30, 18’ It is expected that at the next session a permanent form of government will be established for the District of Columbia, and the’ proportion which the United States shall regularly contribute on account of its own property to defray the expeuses of the District, will be definitely settled, when, doubtless, the same provision will be made for the payment of the interest on these as well as other government securities. SUNDRY CIVIL SERVICE APPROPRIATIONS, The conference report on tho Sundry Civil Service Appropriation bill. was adopted in the Hoxso to-day. Tho Dill now goes to the President for his signature, ebuieth THE IMPEACHMENT. MR. BLAIR OPENS THE ARGUMENT FOR THE AC- CUSED—THE TWO-THIRDS YOTE QUESTION CONSIDERED. WaSutycrox, July 20, 1876, ‘The Senate resumed tho consideration of the articles of impeachment against W. W. Belknap, Mr. Manager Lord ennounced that Mr, Blair, of coun- sel for the detence, would open the argument. Judge Black stated that Mr. Carpenter, of counsel) for the defence, was too ill to attend the court to-day, and he hoped no manager would speak alter Mr. Blair, but would walt uatil to-morrow, when it was hoped Mr. Carpenter would be present; and as that gentleman had to reply to the manager who would succeed Mr, Blair it would not be tair to compel him to reply to an argument which he had not heard. He asked for an | order that the Senate, sitting as a court of impeach- ment, adjourn at the conclusion of Mr, Blair's re. marks, Mr, Anthony, of Rhode Island, suggested that tho question of adjourning could be settled after Mr, Blair concluded, He moved to lay the order on the table, Agreed to, Mr. Blair, in opening his argument, appealed to the Senate to consiler the case with calmness ana fair- ness, ‘The questions to be considered were of law and evidenee and ought to be freed from the passions of the outside world and the political campaign now going on, He then addressed himself to the question of juris diction and argued that the impeachment should be dismissed on the ground that more than one-third of the Senate voted against it. He next referred to the order of the Senate directing that the trial should go onasonaplea of not guilty and said he thought it utterly unjust, Ho thought the managers in adyocat- | ng that order attempted to coerce a portion of the Senate to vote for the conviction of the accused alter that portion had voted that the Senate had vo jarisdic- tion in this case, He could not account for the persist ency of this prosecntion, unless the managers expected that those Senators who voted against jurisdiction would stnitify themselves and vote for conviction now. Mr. Ioberison, of South Carulina, thought such lan- nage toward Senators was very harsh, Mr. Blair explained and said he did not mean to be personal toward Senators, He only spoke ot the action uh expected Ser tor the con tors would stultify themselves by voting ne defendan ile then reviewed the articles of im and sard they ail by circumlocation nade the charge of bribery, but the evidence did not sustain thatcbarge. Mr. Biair then quoted at length from the tesiimony in support of his nent that the charges had not been arg proven, and claimed that ihe attaching of such im: porta to things of a trifling nature showed the weakuess of the circumstances upon which prosecation rested. He also argued that the augers had suppressed a great part of the truth in timony Of Associate Jus ¢ Supreme Court, as to used, Mr. Biair said he tice Mul) the good | was one of the purest men on the Supreme Bencb—a man whose vigor of intellect every one recognized; but le came to give his testimony as to the good character of the de endaut, when others, through the organized seins of cha he press—frowned him dow onclusion, Mr. Blair again argued that his client should be dismissed, becauss there was not the legal two-thirds vote of the Senate asserting jurisdiction.

WHY THE LETTER DYER WROTE FOR AVERY IS NOT GIVEN OUT BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR PUBLICATION—-WHAT COLONEL DYER BAYS. DYER'S Sr. Lovis, July 20, 1876. There has been some comment on the conduct of the Attorney General in refusing to give out for publication | the letter written by istrict Attorney Dyer in vebaif of Avery. Your correspondent ‘s enabled to state the reason for this refusal. Colonel Dyer said in conversation a few days ago that he bad written a let- ter for Avery, but that he had put something into tt that would make Grant hopping mad. He was asked what this was, and he replied that it was a sentence at the close of the letter to the effect that, although Avery was undoubtedly guilty, as re: garding the indictment, ue, Dyer, was sted that be had through the whole of his criminal career ai Washington been used as the instrument of others who wero much higher in authority than he, In re- sponse to a further inquiry as to who was included in | tne reference, Colonel Dyer sai, ‘1 ment Babcock, 1 T intended to hint at others in the same house wi him, and | didn’t say a word amiss eith THE CUSTER MONUMENT.
