SPECIAL NOTICES.
TO THE ELECTORS
OF TIIE
, tlll V .OF PIIILADELPHI&
The importance of securing and retaining an upright,
intelligent and experienced Judiciary cannot be over
estimated. The constitutional change from au appointed
to an elective Judiciary was strongly opposed by many
kirdent citizens, and was only adopted with much doubt
and mistrust. This community not only has no reason to
regret, hut, on the contrary, has abundant cause to con
gratulate itself upon the success or that experiment. Pure
and able men were induced to occupy the Bench, and at
the end of their first term,.publle .opinion, rising superior
to partisan considerations, demanded their reelection.
The knowledgeand experience acquired by ten years' ser
vice on the Bench are of such inestimable value that a
-community properly alive to its true interests will na•
tin - 14113 - demand that they shall continue to be exercised
for its benefit so long as the incumbent may be able and
walling to mi:rve. Not only is such the clear duty of the
community to itself, on tho score of self-Interest, but it in
no less a duty to the faithful,public servant who has toiled
arduously and honestly, with but a Very inadequate com
pensation during the greater part of the term, to recognize
and reward his fidelity to hit:Official obligations, by re'
-electing him to another term.
It vr ill be the duty of the•electors of this city, next Octce
her, to elect an Associate Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas, Quarter Sessions, Oyer and Terminer and Orphans'
CLAIM to fill a vacancy to be caused by the expiration of
—Judge Ludlow's term. The vast responsibilities, varied
• duties and incessant labors of these courts are such as to
require unwearied induatry,ample learning and inflexible
integrity. When to these high qualifications aro added
the great advantages of ten years' experience in tire dir
charge of these delleate and difficult duties, .there would
appear to be no question in any candid mind as to the ne.
cessity of this community, with entire unanimity, de
manding that Judge Ludlow should continue to serve it for
another term with the same signal fidelity and ability that
he has exhibited in the past. This should be done outside
of and above the usual workings of mere Party machinery
or nominating conventions of acknOßled:partisans,work--
ing for purely political results.
The citizens, as such, and not as partisans, having largo
interests at stake entirely dependent upon thu honesty,
yinunees and ability of thu Judges, are requirud by every
consideration of duty to examine'the qualifications of
. candidates for this high office from a more elevated stand
point of observation than a blind devotion to party. There
are offices of profit enough with which to reward place
. hunters for their political labors; let fitness and capacity
be the only tests for the Judiciary.
In this spirit and with these views, the undersigned,
members of the Philadelphia Bar, entertaining the
strongest convictions of the eminent fitness and capacity
of Judge Ludlow for the high office which ho now tills
with so much honor to himself and so much benefit to the
community, cordially invite their fellow•citizens to secure
their own best interests by reinecting him for another
torso.

PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1861.
T E INDIAN '46OIIIPIOSPON.
The Indian .Commissioners, assembled at Lea
venworth, Kansas. have been Investigating the
Indian difficulties. Among other persons,. they
examined Father Dc Smet, an old 'lndian mis
sionary. A correspondent of the N. F. Herald,
furnishes.bis testimony as follows :
Statement of Father De Mulct.
I will commence with the Yonktonais, who
number probably about twenty-five hundred.
Everything is looking advantageous there, pos
sessing, as that tribe does, a very fine region of
country. They have fields of wheat extending
about four miles, which are in a very flourishing
condition. Their example is doing much to
ameliorate the condition of the tribes adjacent.
Those cultivating fields are frequently visited by
the relations of the Yonktonais from other tribes;
who sec the advantages of cultivation. A fruitful
source of trouble up there is that the promises
made in former years have not been fulfilled.
Had the Indians had the necessary imple
ments they would have cultivated , a
large extent of ground. At Fort Sully there were
several hundred lodges. They manifested the
rattle desire to cultivate the soil, and were waiting
for their annuityhoods and for agricultural im
plements. In the speeches of the chiefs at the
council held with Generals Sully and Parker we
constantlY found manifested a great desire for the
withdraw 7 al of the soldiers. Of course, they spoke
_alms& stopping_the-roads and,of..preventing
steamers from ascending the river if their great
father refused to listen to their complaints. All the
Indians complained that the stipulations on the
government's part were hardly ever attended to,or '
only partially. They complained of a great deal of
wrong in that way: that the government• some
times failed to send the goods, and that when
they did send them only about one-third reached
them. They also complained bitterly of the last
captain who was in command of the fort (Fort
Berthold). They charged that he treated them
like slaves. In a speech of one of the chiefs he
says they were in a starving condition. He men
tioned the circumstances of a fht horse dying.
The women and children in a state of semi-star
vation, through their chief, begged the dead
horse to eat. The officer in command refused
to give it to them. and ordered his men to drag it
to the river, which they did, and after breaking
whole in the ice they.threw it in. They often
waited for the slop to be thrown from the
•kitchen, and the old women and children would
lick it up to have something to strengthen theta
selves: ,At such times hot water would be thrown
over them. Their complaints on that score were
very bitter.
Question (by General Sanborn)—Whatportion
of the bands do you consider as the head of the
hostile party:
Answer—The Onk-pa-pas, nearly all of Ahem.
A great portion of the Brules,the Minnecongians,
and a great many of the San tees, who are mixed
up with the war party.
One of the war chiefs (Iron Shell) expressed a
wish that the soldiers should be withdrawn and
the war closed on the Black Hills and on the Mia.
souri. General Stilly told him the soldiers-were
brought there for the misdeeds of the In
dians; that the Sioux had killed women and chil
dren, and the Great Father was obliged to
send His soldiers,.and he 'would send them in
great numbers unless they stopped committing
-- -
Question (by President Taylor)—Are any
of the Santee Sioux mixed up with the war
party
Answer—l think a portion of those on Devil's
Lake are. They do a great deal of mischief there
—they and the half-breeds of the North..
Question—They live beyond the line?
Answer—.-Yes, sir; sometimes they have a few
wagons or carts to come to their, buffalo hunts
twice a year. During the entire year they have
their traders, who speculate in bringing ammuni
tion and other goods within a short distance of
Berthold. About a month ago they traded nineteen
'kegb of powder to the Sioux, andgave them guns
and everything. They steal from the traders and
from the government. They get their horses for
a Wile, and do a great deal of mischief. They
come on the American side.
Question—Arc they in strong force?
Answer—l have seen as many as twelve hun
dred wagons and carts. They are vervetrong and
brave. They are friendly to the trith3h flag.
Wherever that flag Is seen by the. Sioux they re
ceive it kindly. They are half-breed men that I
am now speaking of. 4 suggest that as they are
going to build a fort at Devil's Lake a great many
of these men might be induced to leave the pale
of British law, and by fair promises they could
be formed into an army, which, would keen the
Indians in order, as they are up to the tricks of
the red man.
Question—Do you think if, possible to assem
ble the Crows and Sioux in any eountry, and by
means of presents and government annuities to
make them live in peaw with their white neigh
bors?
Answer—The beginning will be very diQlcult;
I am afraid it will be very hard, if not impossible.
Question—lt is a very favorite theory with
members of Congress and others that there ought
to be perhaps two large reservatious set apart,
one in the region we have been speaking of, and
another where the Cherokees are now, as it is
thought best, to locate them on, yet all 114 , thin
one great reservation or consolidation of land,
embracing agricultural, pastoral and hunting
grounds. If that is practicable, it would be very
satisfactory to our people generally:
Answer—lt would be very difficult in the be
ginning.
Question—Did the Indians ecmplain of any
outrages perpetrated on them by soldiers or
other whites?
Answer—A chief_of the Monnedonjeans told
me that one evening a young officer was left in
charge of Fort Thompson, with-only about one
bundreAl and thirty soldiers remaining. The
officer went into the chief's tent, with a pistol in
his hand, and told him that he carne for his wife.
He had two wives, one of them young. The
officer said, "If you make any resistance
to it I .will shoot yon." The chief told
him he was not a coward, and said, "I
promised to keep the peace, and it is
not for a woman I will break my word. Take the
woman." The officer took her. A few days
afterwards another officer was sent in his place.
lie had taken her to Fort Sully. General Sully
immediately apprized General Stanley of the
statement of the Indian chief in regard to the
,matter, and I suppose it was inquired. into. This
is the story of the Indian chief.
Question—Do the Indians keep their promises?
Answer—Generally, if nothing intervenes to
make them break it. If they have made a pro
mise to keep quiet, they will not break it nWess .
something intervenes.
Question—[by President Taylor)—Are they
willing to receive religion ?
Answer—There are thousands in the mountains
who arc really examples to the Catholics them
selves; they are practical in all they understand,
and are very Strict in all their observances; if you.
can make them sensible that anything is sinful
before the Great Spirit, the Indian will rarely
dare to commitit; in their wild ways they take
scalps and commit all sorts of' mutilations on
the bodies of their enemies; it was the same
when we arrived in the mountains, but since
they have understood it was hateful to the Great
Spirit, they abandoned those practices and never
go to war except in Self-defence. They receive
teaching kindly, and aro very anxions to learn.
The Flatheads are a line people. They fight :like
lions when they are attacked. They will never
attack first. We told.them that to go to war for
the sake of scalping wee a sin before God, and
they understood if at once. We told them that
if they were in danger, or their prope they
should invoke the aid of the Great Spirit,.
and ' them would tight bravely... -one
occasion more than two hundred Crows
attacked them. The Flatheads:' were only
thirty lodges. I. thought they, wotdd be all
massacred Some were in fivpr of separating
and escaping. The chief called 'them together
and snit!—"l t et us keep • together; I will' fight"
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
Answer—No, sir. I thought on one occasion
I was a prisoner. Some Indiana appeared on a
bluff near which I was riding with two men. I
told my companions not to shoot, as we would
gain nothing by doing so. I ran up-towards them,
having on my large black gown, which I always
wear when I travel in that country. They had
heard of me, but had never seen me. As soon
as they get near enough they shook my hands.
I gave some of them some coffee. I then
offered to go away. They took my bridle from
my hands, and made me a sign to follow them.
We all thought we were prisoners. I felt no
uneasiness. 'fhey took me ten miles into the in
terior, where their camp was. They led my horse
at first, but when they saw I would follow, they let
my bridle go. We saw the whole camp in mo
tion. They were the Blackfeet Sioux, and were
hostile at tLat time. The chief bad a very beautiful
_path lo . robe, and when Illismounted plami-it
on the ground: I thought he wanted to trade
with it. I told them I was not a trader—that I
never traded—that if I had anything they wished
for I would give it to them. Before I had done
speaking the chief took me by the hand and made I
me sit on the robe. His men were all ready,
and they picked me up and carried me
a quarter of a . mile further in
triumph. They placed me in the
lodge of the chief, when they prepared a large
feast. They bad a large kettle on the fire, with
buffalo meat in It. The chief made a kind of a
speech. saying it was the happiest day of his life
that a man who svoke to the Great
Spirit should come to see him. There
were some forty in the lodge. and I stood up and
made a prayer. asking the Great' Spirit to bless
them. When I spoke they all raised their right
hands on high and struck the ground with their
feet. I asked him the meaning of that. He said,
"We raise our hands to please the Great Spirit,
and strike the foot because we are only crawling
vermin on the ground." They then placed them
selves before me, took from the kettle the best
piece, cut it up into small pieces, and, according
to their custom, I had to keep quiet and be fed
by the chief. He took it up piece after plece,and
put it into my mouth. I made a sign when I
had had enough. I remained there all night.
The chief gave me a trial to see if I had confi
dence. Ichile I was. in my tent, close to their
camp,he came in with a large dagger in his hand,
about a foot long. The two men were afraid he
was going to kill them. He placed the knife be
fore my face and asked me whether I saw it. I
told him I bad eyes to see. He said: "Are you not
afraid?" I took his hand and placed it on my
breast and asked him if my heart was beating
fait. I said, "Why should I be afraid? you fed
rue with your own hand. I know lam as safe as
though was in the lodge of my brother." He
thanked me and fold me he brought the knife to
cut the hobbles of the horses, if he had found
them hobbled, because we had nothing to fear.
He remained with me .a great portion of the
night. He tried me gib% way to see , if, after the
reception they had given me, I would show any
anxiety or fear. They are very cunning--in that
way. I had no apprehension at all after being
received in....gimp in that manner.:
Wendell Phillips , Views on General
Grunt's Acceptance of the War Office.
(From the Anti.S)avery Standard of this week.)
When men offer poor excuses for an act, be
sure they have no good reasons to give. The
journals betray a lurking distrust of the propriety
of General Grant's act in assuming - the War De
partment by the haste they make to invent poor
excuses for it.
They tell us the General was obliged, as a mili
tary subordinate, to obey the President's order.
It' the act was, without any doubt, a good one,
why seek to excuse it on the ground of compul
sion ? When Chase accepted the Chief Justice--
ship, nobody went about to find excuses for him.
AL, gentlemen, this act of General Grant yon
cannot think a good one, else you would not
seek to rob him of its merit and make somebody
else responsible for it.
But we cannot do such discredit to,the leading
journals of the Republican party as to suppose's
they believe their own statements. Gen. Grant
is the President's military. subordinate,—not
civil one. The President has a right to order
him to report for duty at Washington—to give
advice on the Indian war—to sit on a military
commission. All such orders Graut is obliged to
obey.
But the President has no.right to order Grant
to paint the White House, to take charge of .its
garden, prepare a report for the amendment of
the tariff, or do any other chil duty.
Now, the War Department is a civil office.
These same journals allege that Johnson cannot
remove Stanton, because that is forbidden by the
Civil Oilice Tenure act, thus clearly confessing
that the Secretaryship of War is a civil office;
as, of course, it is. Mr. Johnson might, there
fore, as rightfully order Grant to hoe potatoes
behind the White House as to assume the Airdr
Department, The journals know this. So does
General Grant.
Indeed, the_President in his communication to
Grant does not order him, but "authorizes and
empoweri" him to act as Secretary. - And- al
though Grant's letter to Stanton speaks con
fusav of the President's "directing me to as
sume" the office, still he has sense enough to add,
"In notifying you of my acceptance." Now,
subordinates do not accept orderer; they obey
them.
Let us hear no more of Grant's being obliged
to take this office as, .it was said, he was obliged
to accompany Johnson on that disgraceful West
ern tour. On both occasions such statements
were only flimsy excuses invented by Grant's
toadies, to cover up the mistakes and servility of
their idol.
Theoffering of such empty excuses gives us
,painful doubts of the mood in which Grant and
his friends are at this moment. Congress repre
sents the Republican party. Stanton belongs to
it, that is his offence in Johnson's eyes. If Grant
is a Republican, by what rule of party fidelity
does he accept the office out of which Stanton
has been turned simply for being a Republican?
According to all well-known rules of parties,
Grant declares himself not a Republican. Any
one who remembers - Tyler's time will recall facts
iiroving this.
The President put Grant into Stanton's place
only to divert public attention and soften the in
dignation at Stanton's removal with the, content
at Grant's appointment. Grant will serve to
bridge over from Stanton to Steedinan, or some
other hanger-on of the White House.
No doubt the President intends to remove the
District Commanders. Then lie sees Grant must
either hold on and be responsible for it or resign
and make way for some of Johnson's creatures.
The only other alternative is that Grant Should
submit to Sheridan's removal, and still hold office
under the plea of preventing more mischief.
This is the plea on which Stanton has remained
in office. He has worn it to rags.
This course- is a sacrifice of all personal honor.
It degrades a man from a Cabinet officer into a
spy. At such a time as Buchanan's last sLe
months—the whole govenurtent honeycombed
with treason—SUCh'a course is allowable as it Is
In war. But in ordinary MAO no honorable

&Oman, "but I will not dos mean !thing . to

tection of Cod, and sung a canticle. The'emwe

with a dash, and they must have killed some
twenty or thirty. I arrived

ever. I could have prevented the fight had I been
there. I have asked them sometimes if they never
felt fear when they were attacked. They said
'No. we are just as glad if 'the enemy is large in'

Besides, honest men consorting' with listaves,
in order to prevent their doing mße.chief, is false

allowed, that he was a traitor, he would haw

son could not have suspended Stanton. Clieered,

nation at Johnson, and such approval of Grant's
gallant fidelity to his comrade and his principles;
as to have overawed Johnson. If after that he
had dared to suspend Stanton ? no decent man ,
would have accepted the post; and the moment
Congress assembled Johnson would have ceased
to reign.
To-day Grant is the staff which bolds up the
traitor President. Without him Johnson could'
neither stand ncir walk.. Grant to-day enables the
President to go on and remove Sheridan. It will
be in vain for Grant to resign when the act is
done, and cry out, "I disapprove." As well

SHERIDAN.
The Feeling in New Orleans—The Gen.
emits 'Reception of , the Nears—The
ork Accomplished in Louisiana—
.' lie Rebel Sheriff of View Orleans to
be Removed.
(From the New York Tribune of to-day.]
WAMIINGTWV. Wednesday, Aug. 21.—Friends
of Gen. Sheridan who have arrived here this
evening direct from New Orleans ; state that that
Mincer received an unofficial despatch late on
Saturday evening from Washington, informing
him that the fter for his removal would be
issued on Tuesday. He received the news
very coolly ; remarking to friends pre
sent that he felt satisfied that he had simply
done his duty as an officer , of the United
States Government, and was sorry that his supe
nor officers should find fault with him. His order
apportioning the State of Louisiana, into election
districts and appointing a day for an election of
delegates to the contemplated State Convention,
was only Islsued Saturday noon, and Alien he had
completed it and given it for publication he re
marked that by the first of New Year the State
would undoubtedly be ready to present her
new Constitution to Congress for, approval,
and then his task, as far as Louisiana was
concerned, would be completed. Scf particular
was he about hhving the election districts cor
rectly apportioned, so that each portion of
the State should be fairly represented, that he had
several members,of his staff make a tear through
the whole State, visiting, every county, consult
ing with the citizens, and using every means to
have the thing done fairly. When the order had
been Issued he - said that he felt he had Stashed
his task with Louisiana, and would immediately
turn his whole attention to Texas. He had con
templated an immatiate tour 4f inspection into
the latter State• for the purpose of seeing .for
himself exactly hew matters stood. His latest
advices from the General commanding in that
State were that a better feeling existed than
heretofore,.and that the removal of Throekmor
ton and other rebel officials had cowed and: sub—
dued the rebel element:. The General kept the
news of his removal quieti and it was not known
but by a few until published in the newspapers.
It is thought he will make one more removal
before he retires, that of • General Harry
Hays from the position of Sheriff. Hays was
a rebel soldier, but .has been conducting himself
satisfactorily until lately, when, his alleged, he
joined with Rousseau and Steeffinan in .ffenoun
dug Sheridan, and urging.. prominent citizens
of the State to hold • back and 'not support the
Reconstruction Act. The Unionists of New
Orleans feel very bitter •at Rousseatt4i • conduct
while he was in that city. They say he was hob
nobbed and feasted by the rebel. element, who
hosted that Rousseau ,brought news- from head
quarters (meaning Washington) which assured
them that the Congress plan of Reconstruction
would be abandoned if, they, held out
stubbornly ; and that Sheridan. would
be removed, and a man put in his
place who would use Johnson's • inter
pretation of.the law. A number. of prominent
Union'men of the city are preparing. charges
against Rousseau .and lateedman, for hindepng
Reconstruction, which they intend presenting
jointly to Gen. Grant and Congress at the next
session. It was hinted that Rousseau had re
mained many days longer in New Orleans, he
would have been placed under arrest and tried
under the provisions of the Reconstruction law,
which make it a felony to interfere with. its pro
secudon.
THE CUBA CABLE.
Telegraphic Communication. Estab.

KEI WEsT, Fla., August 18. 1867.—After many
disheartening difficultie. , and persistent but for
a time unrewarded labors, the lost Cuba cable
has been recovered. The cable steamer, after
having been engaged for several days in dragging
with grapnels in the vicinity of the place where
the cable parted, which was marked out by buoys
placed Immediately after parting, was finally
rewarded to-day by fastening to it. It was
dragged to the surface amid the cheers of those
engaged in the work, and firmly secured. The
weather being favorable, a perfect splice was
made,' and the stout sine was again committed to
the deep. On being tested, it• was found perfect
throughout its entire length. Communications
are now passing through it between Ht ana and

Letter from John Bright..
[From the Wnehington Chronicle. Aug. 21)
The following *letter is a reply to one sent to
John Bright, the great English Radical, accom
panying an afghan which was presented by Mrs.
Lincoln to the National Fair for Orphans, the
proceeds to be divided between the Soldiers' and
Sailors' and Colored Oiphan Homes of this city.
Donations were solicited by tale lady managers
of the Colored Home with the assurance that
when a certain amount was, raised• the afghan
should be sent to John Bright, as a memorial of
the great interest he had taken in the cause of
freedom:
ROCHDALE, July 8, 1867..—Dear Madam.: I
write to thank you and the ladles associated with.
you as the managers of the "National Associa
tion for the Relief of Destitute Colored Women
and Children," for the very handsome and
valuable present you have forwarded to me. The
afghan is much admired here, but its value is im
mensely increased, because it once belonged to
your great and good President. I feel much
indebted to the ladles who had me in their kind
remembrance, and who have sent me this beautiful
gift.
I have great satisfaction in reviewing the course
I took in reference to your great struggle, and
often lament that it was not taken by all my
countrymen. If all the influential men of this
country had looked with a generous eye upon
your late contest, I believe the two nations
would have been united in a solid friendship
which nothing hereafter would have been able to
disturb.
I hopegood men and women in both countries
VIM do all they can to wipe out the remembrance
of all that is evil in the past. This is needful for
the good of the two countries, and for the good
of all the world. •
With many thanks to yourself, and to the la
dies who are connected with you, and to all con
cerned in the purchase of the gift which you have
forwarded to me, and Which my family will al
ways so, greatly value, . I am, with the highest re
spect, vary truly yours, JOllll Milani:.
