At daylight this morning the pursuit was continued and a camp was discovered which had been hurriedly vacated by the robbers. In it were found the coats and blankets of its recent occupants and a half cooked breaktast. The latest intelligence is that the bandits have been | again surrounded near Minnesota Falls, Biue Barth county, and their capture ts pronounced certain. The present scene of operations is not filty miles | from. Northficld. The fact that the robbers have not escaped, or at least succeeded in getting further sway, is undoubtedly because of a Inck of knowledge of the country making them bewildered. The country in that section heavily umbered, swampy and wild, and is dificult to traverse even under favorable circumstances, The robbers how without horses, blankets or coats, and they apparently Mutie to eat except green corn, Alvogether they are having a very rough time of it, YELLOW FEVER - Savasxan, Ga, Sept, 14, 1876.

DETAILS OF THE ARREST OF THE BLACKFEET, JOHN GRASS—GOOD CHARACTER OF THE CHIEY AND SYMPATHY WITH HIM—AGITATION AMONG BIS PEOPLE—COMPLETION OF THE ENROLMENT AND WHAT IT INDICATES. Biswarck, D. T., Sept. 14, 1876. The enrolment of the Indians at Standing Rock having been completed it appears there are onty 4,450 Indians present, 2,500 loss than has been claimed by the Indian agent, and it ts estimated that scveral hundred have returned to the agency, many of them from the hostile camps, since the Custer massacre, TUR ARREST OF JOHN GRASS There was much excitement at the agency on Sunday last over tho arrest of John Grass, one of the promi- nent chiefs, for aiding tho hostiles. A full account of the difficulty is given in tho following interesting lot- ter from Standing Rock, dated September 11:—*tCon- siderable excitement existed here yesterday, occa- sioned by tho arrest of John Grass, chief of the Blackfeet Indians, at this ageney. John 1s eharged with conveying and assisting in conveying large quantitics of fresh beef and other supplies to hostile Indians. It ts also claimed that he has secreted in his camp well known hostiles who have been in at diferent times, There aro 6 eral charges and specifications against him. In the Jong examination bo underwent before the acting agent and board of officers convened for the purpose he as- serted his entire’ innocence of the crimes charged against bim, He labored, however, under much ner- Yous excitement, and considered himself forever dis- graced in the good opinion of his tribe. He expressed bis entire willingness to die if guilty of any wrong- doing; in fact did, not care to live another day. He was anxious fora full investigation and desired to see ‘Dis Great Father at Washington. TUR GHIRY’S: CHARACTERISTICS. Grass wears an honest aud pleasing expression, and 4s 10 form aad feature ono of the Anext looking In atthe ugency. He always meets you with a smiling face aod pleasant bow that kes one feel that you are friends at once. He is young, not over thirty, full of grace wud dignity, and bis every movement shows he is a leader ana chief among his people, Asan orator Le has no equal in his race, His expressions are clear and forcible; his flow of words unceasing and convincing. His bearing bas created for bim many friends in his troubles, and hopes are expressed that he may establish his innocence, The arrest was made quietly, Colonel Johaston sending tor him to come to his office, ax he desired to see hun on important business, It was genorally thought that some trouble might arise when the pews of the arr and coninement of so :mportant a chief as Grass be- came known to the Indians. AN ALAuM, About six P. M. an alarm was spread that Grass’ camp, about five miles below the agency and in full view, numbering about 160 lodges, Was moviug and in great commotion. Field glasses were at once in great demand and Indians were seen driving on their po nics, and everything pomted to @ movement on thoir part ot some kind, The jong roll wus sounded, arms wero {ssugd ood a fresh supply of ammuni- tion distributed to the men, fhe company of the First, at tho agency, under Colonel Jobn- stop, moved up to the post with their prisoner, who munifested much uneasiness, Grass was very urgent in desiring to be paroled, that be might visit and. quiot his people if they ure contemplating » movement jor his rescue. Later in the evening a Catholic priest and an interpreter visited the Indian camp. As dusk drew on the diferent companies returned to their quarters and quiet reigved, The entire command aro busily engaged in building quarters to shelter them trom the storms of tye coming winter, and, although everything is pushed to the utmost, it will evidently be late belore all are sheltered. THE COUNT AND FACTS ESTABLISHED. The enrolment of the Indiang at the agency has been completed, Very near 450 lodges and over 4,000 [n- dians were found actually present—a much greater number than was thought by any one to be In. The count establishes several items of imterest—frst, that the Indiaus trom the hostile bands have been gradually creeping back to the protection of their agency in con- siderable numbers and that in spite of all eflortsto detect and preventthem. Another 13 that under military control and system this agency will cost tho gover ment athird, if no} a half, lessto ran it than it has formerly cost ander the wretched management of agents, and the Indians receive better and greater sup- plies. THE PATWASTER made bis usnal visit here last week and left on the Yellowstono to-day several thousand dollars lighter, of pocket than when he arrived. Tle ex-agent also do- parted for his Nebraska home, h a few days pre- vious received a despatch virtually dismissing him from the Indian service, as he has tormally been from Uncle Sam's miliary service. Comment is unnecessary. Tho temptations and opportunities are too great and numerous for tho average Indian agent to resist. ANOTHER ACCOUNT FROM STANDING ROCK— STEALTHY BETURN OF HOSTILES TO THE AGENCY—ATTEMPT TO DISARM THEM ABOR- TIve. Sr. Pact, Minn., Sept. 14, 1876, A special despatch to the Pioneer Press from Bis- marck that a complete enrolment of the Indians at Standing Rock shows only 450 lodges and a total of not over 4,000 Indians. Rations havo heretotore been issued on a basis of 7,000 Indians, from which it would appear that nearly 3,000 are absont, or else that a large amount of stealing has been done. Indians are known to have returned from the hos- tile camp, but so steaitbily caught, and an attempt to disarm the hostiles, thore- fore, proved aliortivo. Grass Chiel, ot the Blackfeet tribe, was arrested on Sunday last for harboring and supplying hostiles. The Indians threatened to rescue him, but the garrison was too well prepared to resist and an attempt at rescue ‘Was Dot made, SHERIDAN ON TBE WAY TO MEET CROOK, Omana, Neb., Sept. 14, 1876, Lieutenant General Sheridan and Colonel M. Sheri- dan passed through here this morning, en route to Fort Laramie, where they are to meet General Crook in a few days, to arrange lor a vigorons prosecution of the Indian war through the coming winter and the establishment of a large cantonment in tho Powder River country. RYIDENCE THAT YOUNG MEN PROM TRE AGEN- CLES HAVE JOIXED THE HOSTILES—movr- | MENTS OF THE INDIAN COMMISSION—AN i ATTACK ON THEM PREVENTFD BY THE PRzs- ENCE OF THE EScont. St. Lois, Sept. 14, 1876, Advices received to-day from Red Cloud Agency says there ts no doubt but that several thousand ef the young men have gone to the hostiles, a8 a recent count at this agency shows but 4,901 men, women and | children present where there should be 13,000, and it isquite probable that an investigation at Spotted Tail Agency will show a corresponding deticrency, MOVEMENTS OF THR COMMISSION, The Commissioners came over from Fort Laramie with Captain Fgan’s cavalry company asan escort.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15. 1876.—TRIPLE SHEET. WASHINGTON. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasutxaron, Sept. 14, 1876. THE NATIONAL DEMOCKATIO CANVASS—EX-REP- RESENTATIVE NIBLACK ON THE CHANCES IN OHIO AND INDIANA—APATHY AT THE WASH- INGTON POLITICAL HBADQUARTERS—HOW THE | NOMINATION OF LUCIUS ROBINSON IS RE- GARDED. Ex-Representative Niblack, of Indiana, who is a can- didate for the Judgeship of the Supreme Court of his State, called in at the democratic headquarters, and peaking mildly about the prospects of the pending campaign, while not overwrought with zeal, says the | democrats will carry both indiana and Ohio, He | Tepresents the campaign as bemg void of bitter antogonisms or partisansiip, and re- ferred to tho fact that the democrats and Hberal republicans are largely represented among the | audiences of republican meetings. He does not re- member ever to have known a better feeling to pro- vall in any campaign in Indiana, which, though strongly urged, is free trom intolerance or the maul- festation ot uniriendly impulses. The great apathy and inactivity apparent about democratic headquar- ters in this city is quoted regretfully by many enthu- siastic democrats, and the attendance of but one or two old superannnated clerks, without send- ing and preparing documents for the campaign, 8 all there 13, toe mark . the co-operation of a central committee and docs not look as if success were anticipated. No documents aro being prepared and gent out, but tt is understood this ts all being at- tended to ta the way of material by newspaper cor- respondefits from New York and the South, final touches and printing being done in New York. They are employed to compile principal facts and to prepare the documents so that they can be circulated from New York or Philadelphia, being promulgated from those two poims through the rank and file of the country. Owing to the absence of any great display or expenditures some of the democrats here are dis- Posed to be despondent. Tne nomination of Comp- troller Lucius Robinson for the Governorship 1s not regarded with much additional encouragement in con- ‘trast with the power and euthusiasm which the name of Governor Seymour would havo given to the de mo- cratic canvars, Mr. Robinson is put down as a liboral, all this class of voters being expected to vote with the democrats, Their old party enthusiasm is wanting bere. CHAIRMAN CHANDLER BOASTFUL OF sUCCKSS— HE HAS FOUND WHERE DEMOCRATIC HAIR 18 SHORT—HAS SCHURZ BEEN RETIRED OB TONED DOWN? A Secretary Chandler, Chairman of the National Ex- ecutive Committee, says that at this perioa everything is working well for the republican party, and, to use his own expressive words, “They have got their dem ocratic opponents where the hair 13 short.’? Ho adds that all tho boasting which they are making uso of is mere buncombe; that they will wot wager onything on their opinions, and that the best odds offered in New York by them now are 400 to 1,000, He says that the outlook could not possibly be better, He speaks kindly of Mr. Sehurz and denies the ra- mor of his being silonced in the campaign by tho Na- fional Executive Committee, That would properly be- Jong to the Stare committee. He knows he was asked for at five or six important places in Michigan, but he may havo himself cancelled some of his appointments, The parties originally responsible for the reports of Mr. Schurz’s defection or heresy in the full faith of a triumphant republican success still maintain the allegations which have given rise to so much reflection upon Mr. Schurz and reaffirm their truth. It Mr. Schurz willsubmit to a dressing down, they say, he muy go ahead, but if not? not, No abatement of the chargo against Mr. Tilden is to be tolerated, and the urging of tho proceedings to bo had in this connection has assumed incrensea deter- mination. There is no lack of funds, enthusiasm and Fesolve among the republicans, and they assert hero without qualificat’on that up to this timo they have every reason to fecl that they willcarry Indiana, Obto, Pennsylvania, and even New York. LEGALITY OF THE ISSUE OF FOUR AND A HALF PER CENT BONDS—DECISION OF THE FIRST COMPTROLLER—INCOMPLETENESS OF THE STATUTES. Assistant Si tary of tho Treasury Conant says that upon further ednsultation with the First Comptroller be bas come tg the conclusion that the department will not need any decision from him, a8 suggested would bo necessary, in regard to the mooted question of the legality of the tssuo of the four anda half per cent bonds, or of their being provided for by the Ro- vised Statutes, which {s denied, because of tke so- called clause which rescinds all legistation prior their and to comptlation not embodied in them. Mr. Conant contends that the operation of the Jaw, as far as it relates to all bills pertaining to tho national loan, from the nature of legisiation affecting them, is merely of a temporary | character, It 18 not necessary that they should be comprehended in the statutes, inasmuch as when they are compited with there 1s an end of them and by their very natare they oxhaust themselves. The pro- | voking incompleteness of the statutes and the bung- | lng manner in which they have been compiled, arranged and indexed has been a sourge of voxation to almost every one who has been called on to use thom, and they | are fount to be deficient in many respects, The Treasury Department does not any longer quote them for guid- ance and reference, a8 heretofore, with partics making | inquiry abont restrictions of the law. Every one isin | favor of their roarrangement and being more thor- | oughly systematized. Asan instance of the defeetive- ness of the statutes a Treasury official cites that thoy donot even provide for a seal of the Treasury Depart- ment. The cavil, therefore, about the foar and a half per cent bonds and the provisions of the law in regard to them will bo disregarded entircly as of no impor- tance in future. — GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, Wasuixarox, Sept. 14, 1874, BAPE BURGLARY CASK.
