General Grant has a hard line to fight out, which will take him all this winter, but he is exhibiting the main steadiness and strategic sagacity in standing a siege as he' always did in conducting one. Immediately after his election he moved rapidly upon Washington, and was entrenched withiritta own office be fore the army of office-seekers got the iillght est wind of his whereabouts. Without loss of time he entrenched himself behind a line of empty gabions, or waste-baskets, with their mouths directed toward the foe, who rapidly assembled along his front in great force, and opened fire upon , his position. In the haste of the attack, a very imper fect range was obtained, and the missiles of the enemy fell directly into the empty gabions, soon forming an impervious breastwork around the beleaguered garrison. Nothing daunted, preparation was made to `storm the works, but the indomitable Grant was not to be captured. At the critical mo ment he applied the torch to the whole line of well-stuffed gabions, and their combustible contents were in a moment in a light blaze. Under cover of the smoke, which was inten sified by the combustion of some rolls of to bacco which happened to be in the General's quarters, he moved out from his intrench 33:Lents, with his little band, and marched rapidly to New York. Here be has enjoyed comparative freedom from molestation. The enemy had been so severely scorched in the Washington attack that he was slow to renew it. But there was still a sort of harassing guerilla warfare carried on, under which General Grant's forces were beginning to suffer much small annoyance, when he suddenly received a most opportune rein forcement from the Boys in Blue, his unfail ing reliance in all emergencies, and with their ,assistance he has succeeded in breaking up his camp in Gotham, and moving quietly into friendly quarters at the Continental Hotel. This evening he dines quietly with a number of gentlemen at the Union League, and at nine o'clock will be inforinally serenaded by the Boys in Blue and the Republican Invin cibles. To-morrow he will probably go home. We have no fear of General Grant's being molested in Philadelphia. As a general rule our people have good-breeding and con sideration enough to avoid those exhibitions both of mere toadyism and of vulgar reckless demand for favors, which make the lives of our public - men almost intolerable. General Grant can enjoy himself in Philadelphia quietly and peaceably, and while it would delight the hearts of the people to testify their gratitude by public ovations and demon strations, they will be equally ready to testify their regard for him by letting him have peace. As for the mere office-hunters, General Grant is protty safe from them. He has given them a most significant practical hint that it is as dangerous for them to be too soon as to be too late, and if they are mind ful of their chances, they will fight shy of him. Philadelphia is right glad to have Gen. Grant's visits whenever and however he finds it agreeable. some of these days we trust that he will give the people at large an oppor tunity of a personal greeting. For the present: Let him have Peace. THE C U HAN BEVOLUTION. As well as can be ascertained from appa rently trustworthy sources, the rebellion in Cuba is gilining strength daily, and threatens to become a revolution. The insurgent forces have been largely increased, and outside of the great towns, they seem to find favor with the masa of the inhabitants. The native pop ulation, as far asVe are able to judge, are the advocates of the rebel cause, and they have entered into it with an, enthusiasm born of a sincere desire to obtain perfect freedom. The Spanish residents on the island naturally support the existing government, and ,second Captain General Lersundi in hie vigorous ef forts to suppress the insurrection. He has not obtained eves tolerable success in his undertaking. The regular troops have been twice or thrice defeated; their supplies have been seized; and they are besieged in Santiago and in two or three other important towns. The rebels have behaved themselves with re marrable propriety. Acts of violence and lawlessness are very rare; property is respect ed and there is not the slightest intimation of any attempt to incite the slaves to insurrec tion. This is sufficient eviden - ce of the re spectability of the revolutionary party, and of the purity of their motives. The fact is, that this whole movement was inspired by the success of the uprising in Spain, although, strangely enough, the Cuban revolutionists are in opposition to their own party in the mother country. But Gen eral Prim and his colleagues are wholly to blame for the existing state of things. The Cubans, like the Spaniards, were weary of the iniquitous despotism of the laws inflicted p9n them by biabella's government. When the shackles were struck from Spain, Cuba instantly should have been made free. But, Sor some reason altogether inexplicable, Gen eral Ural:midi, a partisan of the dethroned Queen, was retained in office for a considera ble period, and the Cubans were subjected to she old tyromiy, without any present hope of sellef. Certainly it would have been wise stud judicious to have given the dependencies the beneat of the liberal laws with which Spain had been blessed. The provinces would th en h a ve been bound in closer ties to the home government, sod_there would have been mo war to excite hatred and bitterness which nay never be eradicated, The adoption of this policy may yet save the island to Spain. Gen. Dolce will soon arrive in Cuba and super. cede Lerenndi; bat if, instead of coining, as is promised, with a small army and aggres sive intentler4, be will bring with him free dom and liberal government, ho will find his adversaries already defeated, anoi the people eager to recognize his authority. In the present condition of affairs, it is par ticularly dangerous to attempt coercion; al ready there are whispers of a movement among the liberal Cubans to fling the island into the arms of the american people. We will not strike a blow *to win it; but, if the rebels master it, and it is made manifest that a majority of the people wish to annex their territory to ours, we will hardly have suffi cient resolution to deny their request. Such a result would rob the impoverished treasury of Spain of an annual Income of ihirty- five millions. This sum is worth a little goner osity- on.the part of its present recipients. It can be saved by giving Cuba her rights; not by niggardly concession of occasional privi leges, as has been the case heretofore, but by making her as completely free as Spain has been. THE SOIITHEHN IMEIGN.OIIF TERROR -TUE END - AT HAND. _ . . . General Geora . Thomas is a soldier who deservedly standsh igh in the estinution of the people., He ' able, discreet, and, like ii General Great, disinclined , to garrulity. He fought his army skilfully during the war, and since then he has conducted the affairs of his department quietly,but judiciously and firmly. Even rebel calumny has not made him its victim, and he has entirely escaped the vili fication which has been poured upon his col leagues. Probably he has never had a po litical aspiration, or any motive in shaping his conduct other than a loyal and sincere desire to do his duty,like an honest man. The testimony of such an individual-as this, upon any subject, would be received with confi dence, and a certain assurance that the facts bad not been distorted by malice or unjust partisanship. The loyal people of this coun try will so laceive the statements of his report . concerning the outrages which have characterized the rebel reign of terror in lientiteVY and Tennessee. .These may be summed-up in a few words. Rebel hate for loyal men is unconcealed and aggressive, and it is encouraged and supported by the wicked falsehoods of the rebel press. The disloyal people have been incited to murder, riot, and persecution of whites who sympathize with the Government, and negroes have been shot down like wild beasts, while their assailants erijoy perfect immunity from punis hment. Appeal to the Courts is and has been useless, because "magistrates and juries too often decide in accordance with their prejudices without regard to "justice;" and the whole population are instructed by the press and by political leaders that "the, cause of human liberty, justice, humanity, equality and all the calendar of virtues, suffered wrong when the effort for Southern independence failed." This accotmtof the anarchy that prevails in the most orderly of the Southern States, fully confirms all the stories of outrage which we have received through unofficial sources, and it affords a complete refutation of the de nials of the truth, at home by Democratic newspapers, and abroad by that wretched re bel sy mpatbiser, Reverdy Johnson. It is one chapter from the history of a period that is more disgraceful to our civilization than the tour cruel years that preceded it. It is part of the record of an administration that will have infamous reputation through all time, not less for the fearftil injury it inflicted upon the country, than for the treason of the man whose failure to do his duty brought all this misery and suffering upon those whose only crime was ardent patriotism. We believe that this reign of terror has spent its force. Four months hence the last vestige of it will be gone. - But even now it shows symptoms of the approaching end. From the South we have fewer reports of outrages committed against Union men, than we have bad for years past. The triumphant election of General Grant has exercised a sal utary effect upon the minds of those who presumed upon Andrew johnson's sympathy to persecute, even to death,their loyal neigh bors. They are awed by the overwhelming expression of popular opinion in the late elec tion, and they have a wholesome dread of that retribution which will surely come, when the South once more is in the hands of honest men. To these latter, also, Grant's election brings fresh inspire ration and courage; and they already exhibit a determination to punish the ruffians who have molested them. Governor Clayton, of Arkansas, makes the Republican success the text of a proclamation, in which he estab lishes martial law in half a dozen counties; and he asserts that he feels himself strong enough to compel obedience to the laws, and to bring offenders to summary. justice. Gov. Brownlow, with his accustomed energy, will doubtless apply his power as vigorously in Tennessge, and Union men-may at last take heart, and look forward,with _pleasant antici pations, to .the approaching hour of their deliverance from their tyrants. Thejlii blind who cannot perceive, in these sighs of Southern regeneration, one df the results of General Grant's election. If Seymour had been elected, pledged as he was to overthrow the reconstruction laws,the South would have become delirious with murder, rapine and anarchy. But now,there is to be a better result for it and for us. It is to be built up upon a foundation of human liberty and equal rights, and is to enter upon an era - of prosperity which will bring it into closer relations with the Republic, and strengthen the ties that bind it to the North and West. ' TRACK SALTING., The member of - Belett Council from the Twenty-second Ward, whose advocacy , of salting the railway tracks has become so pro verbial as to cause a ehange in his baptismal appellation, expended a large amount of in dignation at the criticisms of the public press upon his partiality for slush mixtures in our streets. Ile is of the opinion that re porters who wilfully misrepresent the pro— ceedings of Councils should be excluded from the chambers, an opinion which will be cor dially endorsed by every respectable newspa per in Philadelphia. Mr. Smith is reported to have denied, in his speech yesterday, that he has made repeated efforts to pass bills permitting the salting of railway tracks. If this be so the community has been wonderfully mistaken. The name of "Smith" has been so frequently associated with this subject (probibly by his force oppo sition to the gait nuisance), that the public THE DAILY EVENING 13IILLETINLPHILADELPHIA, FRI )AY, NOVEMBER 20; 1868 Rind has become confused, and has fin illy taken np exactly the opposite idea from what kr. Smith now states to be the correct one. Possibly, th4re may be two Smiths, and thu mistake may, have arisen in that way. We confess to an utter inability to solve this saline mystery. These Smith questions are always perplexing, ,In this case,Smith is reported to hovel denied making enlist to pass the Salt bill, and also to have confessed to having signed the report in favor of it, with six other members of the commit tee. Like the salt slush itself, "Ws a' a mud dle." Our own opinion leans to the view that the member from the Twenty-Second Nerd is not only bitterly opposed to salting the tracks and switches, but that the whol e business of city-railways is a thing in which he feels no interest whatever. If• this opinion is wrong, we shall, be happy to be corrected. Wiih regard to excluding reporters who wiltully misrepresent the proceedings of Councils, this much may be said. No decent reporter per does "wilfully misrepresent," nor does any decent newspaper permit such misrepresentations. Misrepresentation is a very mischievous thing, and we would push the principle even further. We would strongly advocate the exclusion from Council Chambers not only of any reporters who' wil fully misrepresent the proceedings,but also of any members who wilfully misrepresent their constitu ncy. Such a course, while it would vacate ome seats, would, we are proud to thin still leave a very respect able quoru . Members who misre present the selves or each other might also be incl ded in this wholesale ostracism. It will be a millennial state - of affairs when "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" becomes the practical rt c ilolot only for that much-abused class, the r porters,but for all estates of men in this blessed and free country. General Grant's speeches have been few and short, but all 9f them have point, and a number of, them have already gone into his tory, especially certain ones that were made during the war. -One of the - latest and most expressive of his speeches was that made to a crowd that surrounded the cars when he passed through Columbus, Indiana, the other day. They insisted on a speech, and he said to them : "You have heard so much speech making redhntly that I presume you are tired of it. You have done the talking; now I propose to do the work !" That is exactly what the people want, and Grant will not disappoint them. There was no actionable demonstration this year at the tomb of Cavaignac, at the Cemetery of Montmartre, on the northern confines of Paris. On the All Saints' Day or Jour des Af orts of last year, we may remember, a number of gentlemen were subjected to annoying penalties for simply uncovering before it. Warned by this, on the present Toussaint,—as well as by an extra police force guarding the tomb—the free spirits of Paris confined themselves to scat tering immortelles, with which the statue was covered. The monument to Cavaignae is a masterpiece of the sculptor Rude, and is ono of the most ter rific pieces of dramatic effect to be found in Art anywhere. Its simplicity and starkness make it more impressive than the loftiest and most elabl orate efforts of mortuary sculpture. Upon - a low slab among the crowded tombs of Mont martre is stretched a simple figure of natural size, alone and naked to the storms, except, for the folds of the mort-cloth. There is no pillow to ele vate the head, which falls back, pointing the chin upward. Nothing can depict the awe with which, after passing the high monneilents which serve to mask it, one sees this outcast statue ly ing at one's ket, strewn with autumn leaves, and chased with drops from the cypresses. The effigy is in bronze, and stamped with the tragic sim plicity o: Rude's style. The inscription is as follows : A Godefroy Cavaignac, LLB trois flues de Christ, Ami qui consomma ea vie u nous defendre, Et dont none tames lea.amours. Con sole-toi : de tes ceneires The "three daughters" are, of course, "Libertd, Egalltd, Fraternite." Thelast two lines aro some_ what vague, it cannot be denied, but the senti ment, which may be thus imperfectly translated, is unmistakable : "THE THREE DAUGHTERS OF CHRIST TO GODE VROY CAVAIGN AC, Our friend; whose loves.we were; whose days were worn In our defence; and from whose ashes born Boon we shall rise for all time. Cease to mourn!' Godefroy Cavaignac, a republican journalist, died May 5. 1896, at the age of forty-four. He was the inspiring mind of the 'Worm, the most violent of the opposition journals in the crisis of 1848. He was active In the powerful organiza tion of the societi des droits de l'homme. The whole reign of Louis Philippe was tortured by the active opixtsition of this editor, who was constantly arraigned before the tribunals, but generally evaded condemnation by his skilful de fence, while winning the hearts of the Paris stn. dents by his chivalric and spirited bearing in every trial. He spent nearly a year in Ste. Pelagi , but escaped to Belgium, where he spent six y ars. He was eldest brother of Lords Rage c Cavaignac, Minister of War, and at one time Dictator, who contested the presidency with Louis Napoleon. Both were sons of the Conventional member Baptiste Cavaignac, who voted for the death of Louis XVI, and was exiled to Brussels as regicide, upon the second Restora tion.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—1 t is understood that some time since, at the request of Mr. Seward, the Attorney-General gave directions to the United States Marshals in New York and Now Orleans to watch carefully the movements of the so-called. Cuban expeditions. Up to to•day the reports of the Marshals show that while a good deal is said about sending out ex deditions to Cuba, Very little has been done. Should these schemes take definite shape, they would encounter a very positive determination on SceretarySeward's part to 'enforce the neu trality laws.

This morning the contested election cases were taken up before Judges Allison, Ludlow, Peirce and Brewster. Mr. Rawie, for Mr. Gibbons, asked leave to withdraw tic° 27th specification in the District- Attorney's case. It is the specification-which sets forth the acts of the Sheriff at the election 1:10118. Judge Allison said that in Mann's case it was decided that after a case had been commenced the parties' could not discontinue. Mr. Mann—That was weeks after the case had been progressing. Judge Allison acquiesced in this, and granted the motion, Judge Ludlow dissenting. The argument then commenced, Wm. L. Hirst opening for the respondents. He gave a history of contested elections. When they began there was but one officer, and the majority was but small. Last year all the offices were contested, bocthe contest failed. We now' have thrust upon the Court, with the view of making the Judges, canvassers, 44 precincts of the city, bovolving the examination into the conduct of 776 election officers as well as 80,000 or 40,000 vo ters. The ruling of the Court last year may have bad the effeci, of still further exciting this mor bid appetite for,contests, and these am getting to be as common as partied in this Court who havoiordietagalnlit__them_moving_for_o mew triaL After referring to the acts of Aesembly regu lating contested elections, and the character of the exceptions filed by the respondents, he pre sented the three questions involved in the discus sion, as follows First—The "lumping" of specifications. Second—Whether the affidavits were sworn to before a duly authorized officer—this referring to the Prothonotary, Controller and Receiver of Taxes. Third—The validity of the etibstance and body of the affidavits themselves—applying to the Mayor, City Commissioner, Controller, Receiver • Of Taxes and City Solicitor. He proceeded to elaborate these points. In the various Wards set forth in the petition the pre cincts are lumped together, and the petitioners have merely selected all the Ineelneta which gave majority against them. It this is sustained, in the next contest all the specifications will be himped ante i one which will. Include every pro. inlet in the city. - These specifications ought to give some information to the other side. There is no precedent to sustain such a lumping of spe cifications. "No declaration" of this kind would be tolerated; no indictment would be sustained if as loosely framed as this. Ail these "precincts are _ _ W. Clear. 52 ..S.E. Cloudy. as .14. E. Cloudy. 42 Snowing. 31 Clear. 34 Clear. 48 Clear. 50 :.W. Cloudy. 73 Raining. 73 separate and Cstittct; the ~ officers are different; the voters are different; and the decisions of the election officers are different in different pre cincts, to that a specification which includes all does not convey any Information in regard_to the particular cause of complaint • • • The next question is—are these affidavits sworn to before a dnly authotized officer? It is a well Settled rule, that a con3plaintle sworn to before a party whose authority to administer the oath is within the ,judicial , knowledge of the court. Taking up the severalitetltionto the City Solicitor's complaint where It is sworn to be fore a clerk in the Prothonotary's office who signs thejurat '!proProthonotary.,ls the Prothonotary authorized to administer sucWan oath ? In the Prothonotary's case the affidavit sets forth "being duly sworn according to law, do s a y,:' &c., while thejurae sets forth "sworn and affirmed and•enb scribed to," so that it Is impossible to ascertain from the body • of the affidavit whether the parties • were sworn or affirmed In the Receiver of Taxes and . City Controller'a case the affidavitwas made before "James Givin, • Recorder of Philadelphia. The Redorder is no where'authorized to administer oaths in civil cases. Judge Allleon—That bus • been decided by thLs Court.- " • - . Judge Ludlow also - referred to the fact that the question bad been decided In favor of the Re corder's power to admiuister oathaln civil cases. Mr. Hirst replied that he didn't know what ar gument was had on the queation, but he was prepared to show that no such power. existed —that the Recorder has nojurisdiction except criminal; that such criminal jurisdiction as he has was vested in him when he Was one of the presiding judges over , the. only criminal court then in existence; that such, authority has since been taken from him. Nowhere in the Acts of Assembly is this officer gelled the Recorder of . the City of Philadelphia. He is merely called the Recorder of the "Mayor's Court. The Act of February, 1769, refers to him as Recorder r and as one aseoclated with the Mayor and aldermen.. In the original charter of the city in 1789, two courts were eatablished, one styled the Mayor's Court, which continued' until 1838, and the .Recorder was the presiding judge. The other court was called theAlderman'es Court. The Mayor, Recorder and Aldermen, by the 19th section of the Act of 1789, _ were given all the powers of Justices of Peace. The Act of 1790 gave full legislative power to the Mayor, Alder men, Recorder and Councils but the Act of 1796 vested the leg islative power in Councils. Up toy 1706 the Recorder was ap pointed by the Aldermen, but in that year the Governor was authorized to appoint a Recorder. In 1836 the Legislature created new courts for the Northern Liberties, for Spring Garden and for the Recorder.. But in 1838 the Legislature erected a Court of Criminal Sessions, which swallowed up all the other conrta—the Mayor's Court and the Recorder's Court. All the judicial powers of the Recorder are gone by this legialation, and the Recorder is simply a justice , of the peace. The last point related to the validity of the substance and body of the affidavits themselves, and Mr. Hirst cited a number of authorities in support of his proposal that statutes must be etrictly followed in these epecial cases. The ar gument was continued at length, and was still before the Court when our report closed. ovice:ttimmwviA THE REMOVALS IR THE CUSTOM HOUSE.—The following is a copy of the letter-of Collector Cake to the Secretary of the Treasury relative to a reduction of the force in the Custom House, briefly referred to on the sixth page of to-day's Bu3.LErnm:. "Crirrom HOUSE, PHILADELPHIA, COLLECTOR'S OFFICE, Nov. 20, 1868.—Bir: Your letter of the 17th inst. is received, directing a reduction of my force here, and consequently a reduction of ex penses, which I think. may very properly be made at this time. With this direction I cheer fully comply, and, in fact, did so a few months ago,..when you made a similar request. At that time, however, you reconsidered your desire. Whatever "a speciatagent" may report in regard to the practicability of a reduction of force is well enough, perhaps. but he has no right what ever to dictate whom I shall remove. He has named, with but one or two ex ceptions, the most useful • and competent and attentive men on the force of Inspectors. My desire is to retain those who are most reliable, as by this course of action the public interests will be best subserved, and lam sure you will agree with me. No charges whatever are made by the "Special Agent" against the men named. I have there fore dismissed the following named Inspectors, viz.: Thos. H. Green, No. 21; David T. Knorr, No 1; Smith Skinner, No. 31: Samuel S. Burns, No. 48; Wm. Kenney, No. b 1; Geo. W. flaw, No. 53; Jno. N. Browning, No. fie; J. B. Hows, No. 16; Frank B. Medlar, No. 89; J. E. Edwards, No. 4; Jas. C. Justus, No. 17;41 Nelson Smith,No. 25. "I am very respectfully, "J. , W. Cann, Collector of Customs. "Hon: Hugh hicenlloch, Secretary of the Trea sury, Washington, D. C." A case somewhat similar in point occurred when George Wolf was Collector of the Port. Mr. Wolf made some removals, and the Treasury Department refused to confirm his appointments to fill the vacancies. Mr. Wolf, in a long letter to Hon. Levi Woodbury, Secretary of the Trerf erary, dated Aprill2, 1838, says: 'My position, then, sir, is briefly this: In the first place I claim the right to nominate my sub ordinate officers, upon entering upon the duties of my office, and am entitled by common cour tesy to their approval, except there be strong ob jections to the contrary; and those objections are made satisfactorily to appear. "That in the second place I am no more bound to retain a set of men about me,however recently appointed, whose services Ido not want, and in whose integrity I have no conlidence,than if they had been appointed for forty years. "And lastly, I claim it as my undeniable and exclusive duty to remove any subordinate officer of the Customs under my control at any time I May think proper, without the consent or appro bation of the department first hsd, or assigning any reason for such , removal. The only case in which the approbation of the department is neces sary being that of nominations for employment." In this case the Department subsequently sus tained the position taken by Mr. Wolf. Col. Cake now holds to the same doctrine, and claims the right to select his own subordinates. The only difference in the cases is that Mr. Wolf had vacancies to fill, and Col. Cake has no ap pointments to make, the removals being made to comply with an order for the reduction of the force. In a recent case of the removal of Deputy Col lector Wm. B. Johns, Benj. H. Brewster, Esq., gave an opinion, holding the same views as Attorney General Butler in 1838—the opinion published on the sixth page of to-day's BULLETIN. Secretary McCulloch seems to have entertained pretty much the same views some time since, as will appear by the following telegram : "WASHINGTON, March 1, 1867—T0 J. R. Flani gen, Nacal Officer, Philadelphia:—Yon have the power under the law and regulations to remove your Deputy or other subordinates. Should re moval be made, nominations will be considered in due time. "H. McCuLtocn, Becrolary." GENERAL GRANT.—General Grant arrived in Philadelphia yesterday afternoon, accompanied by Mrs. Grant and Generals Dent and Badean, and is now at the Continental Hotel. During this morning the General took a walk on Chest nut street, enjoying his inevitablu cigar. He naturally attracted a good deal of attention, and small crowds occasionally gathered as he was recognized from time to time. This afternoon General Grant dines at the Union League House, and at nine o'clock the Boys in Blue and the Re publican Invineibles have arranged to tender him-an informal serenade at the League_ House. It Is understood that General Grant and his party will leave to-morrow for Washington: &BALM} A StIOW CASE.-k-Patrick Dougherty, aged 17 years, was arrested yesterday upon the charge of the larceny of a show case and con tents, consisting of gentlemen's furnishing goods valued at $5O, the property of Bennett Jr, ColviU,- No. 2200 Market street.

The banks turned their attention in consequence to discounts.

An attempt was made to keep up the loaning rate, but there was cash gold suf ficient to prevent a "squeeze," and loans were made fiat just before Clearing House time, after which from two to six per cent was paid for car rying.

Sherman's' Repoli INDIAN AFFAIRS REVIEWED, Wasminciroti, Nov. 20.—The following.-report was just received at the War' Department from Lient..-General Sherman Thranquarrans • MIUTART DIVISION OF ,THE /dismount, St. Louis, Mei., Nev. 15t,1868. - -Brevet Major- General E. D. Townsend, Assistant Adju , tont- General. Washington, D. C. - GENERAT , : The Military Division of thd Missouri' is still com posed of the Department of Missouri and Dakota embracing substantially the, country west of Mississippi river to the Rock Moan tales, including New Mexieo,Utah and Montana. These departments are comnianded by Generals Sheridan,Augur and Ferry, whose annual reports are transmitted herewith, and to theta I refer you for more detailed statements Of the pro gees made and of the events of the Past year. You will observe that 'whilst the . country generally has been at peace the_ people on the plains and the troops of , mr command have been constantly at war.enduring all its dan gers and hardships, with none of its honors or re wards. In former reports I endeavored to de scribe the reasons and causes which made a state of war the normal condition of affairs on the plains, and have_ since studied to find some lasting remedy, but thus far without success. Our people continue as heretofore to settle on the exposed points of the frontier, to travel without the precaution which a well-known dan ger would suggest, and to run ' after every wild report of the discovery of gold or other precious metals, thus coming into daily contact and neces sary conflict with •discontented and hostile In dians. The co-ordinate departments of our Goveinment likewise continue to ex tend the surveys of public land west ward, and grant patents to occupants to locate and build railroads, and establish mail routes, with the necessary stations and relays of horses, as though that region of country were in profound peace, and all danger to occupation and transit had passed away. Over all these matters the military authcritles have no control, yet their public nature implies public pro- tection, and f,we are daily and hourly called on for guards and escorts, and are left in the breach to catch all the kicks and miffs of a war . of rates, without the privilege of advising or being con sulted beforehand. The reports of Generals Sheridan, Augur and Terry- contain abundant evidence on these points, and I refer to them here merely to demonstrate the fact that as long as these things continue, from necessity and public policy, we cannot reduce. our military forces on the frontier; and should not even allow their strength to fall away by the rapid causes of death, discharge and desertion, but should keep the ranks constantly replenished with fresh recruits. At the time of my last annual report, dated Octo ber let, 1867, I, was a member of the Peace committee, on which the Cengress of the United States had devolved the whole Indian question for a practical and if pos sible a peaceable solution. At the same time by an executive order it was made my military duty to subordinate the acts of all the troops subject to my command to whatever plan of action the Peace Commission might adopt. The Commission, in its annual report of December last to the President of the United States, bears full testimony on this point, to the effect that all the officers of the army, and all the troops with whom they came in contact, had fully and cheerfully, cooperated with them in their efforts to bring the difficult business to a peaceful conclusion. I need not here refer to the deliberations and acts of that Commission further than to state that its mem bers were unanimous in the conclusion that if we would maintain a permanent peace with the Indians east of the Rocky Mountains, they should be collected on reservations as far re moved as poesible from the white settlements and lines of travel, and that there they should be maintained at the cost of the United States until they could wholly or partially provide for themselves. The two principal reservations indicated by the Commission were north of the State of Nebraska, and west of the Missouri river, and &oath of the State of Kansas, and west of Arkansas. These districts are the only parts of our vast national domain,at all adapted to the purpose, not already appropriated. The Commission farther recom mend that for each of these reservations a sort of Government should be provided by law looking to a time in the future when all the In dians would be reduced to the peaceful condition of shepherds, herders and ferment. This general plan was justified by the then state of facts, and its wisdom has been demonetmted by more recent events. A sense of natienal justice dictates that in taking from these enrages the lands whose wild game has hitherto fed,clodied and sheltered them, we should, in restricting them to the exclusive use of a part, make them compensation of some sort for the remainder, and if possible, procurb their consent. Influenced by this consider ation, the Peace Commission, , during the fall and winter of 1867, and the spring and summer of 1868, held a council with all, or nearly all, the tribes and parts of tribes east of the Rocky Mountains, making liberal provision for presents to all who came to the appointed places of council, accord ing to the forms and ceremonies to which they were long accustomed. Formal written treaties were made with each separate tribes signed with all formality, and transmitted to the Senate of the United States for ratification.- The treaties with the Cheyennes, Arrapahoes,Klowas,Caman cies, Navajoes and Crows were duly confirmed, but those with the various bands of Sioux, Snakes, etc., were not confirmed, simply, it is inferred, because- they were not complete when the Senate - adjourned; but for some reason the Congress did not take action on the chief proposition of the Peace Com mission, which was embraced in their report of last December, viz,:- at which related to the setting apart of the t, reservations herein anbe fore referred to, providing governments therefore, which was designed to precede the confirmation of any of the treaties, and was the only vital principle of them all. regret that I feel compelled to refer to this fact, because many persons attribute to it the • reason why we failed to secure a last ing peace and why we are at this moment engaged ilia costly war with four of the princi pal tribes with which we had to deal, viz: the Cheyennes, Axrapahoes, Kiowas and Comanches. It has always been most difficult to discover the exact truth concerning the cause of a rupture with any Indians. They never give notice be forehand of. a warlike intention, and the first notice comes after their rifles • and lances have ddne much bloody work. All intercourse then necessarily ceases, and the original cause soon becomes buried in after events. The present. Indian war in General Sheridan's department is I no exception, and, as near as I can gather it, the truth is about this: 1 1 Ton .Cwt. 11.618 00 2,215 00 19.555 00 1,409 00 34,8.56 00 ...... 878,460 02 ••• • • _:.•.;...1..2,,3/31:8751g-71 39,449 15 Last year. in the several councils held at North Platte and Fort Laramie, by the Peace Commis- OM with fragmentary bands of Sioux, the In dians asserted that they were then, and had been always, anxious to live at peace with their white neighbors, provided we kept faith with them. They claimed that the building of the Powder river road - and the establishment of military posts along it, drove away the game from the only bunting grounds they had left after occupation of Montana and Nebraska, and that the road had been built in the face of their protest, and in vio= - lation of some old treaty which guarantees them that country forever; that the road and the post along it had been constructed in 1865 and 1866, for the benefit of the people of Montana, but had almost ceased to be of any practical use to them, by reason of the building of he Union Pacific railroad, whose terminus west of the Black Hills made it easy for the wagons to travel by an older and better road west of the mountains. For this reason, and because the' further ex tension of this railroad, under rapid progress, would each year make the Powder River road less and lees used, the'Commission yielded to the earnest entreaty of the Sioux, and recommended the abandonment for the time being, of this road. On the 2d day of last March, General Grant gave the necessary orders for breaking up the posts Forts Iteno, Philip Kearney and C F. Smith, but it was well towards Angtult before the stores and material could all be hauled away. AB wo had reason,to apprehend, some - of the Sioux attributing , our action to fear, followed up° our withdrawal by raids to the line of the Pacific road,and to the south Olt into Colorado.

From waoninocon. of them doubtless 'reached' the camps of the Ar rapahoes, on , Beaver Creek, and the Cheyenne camps on Pawnee Fork, near Fort 'Lamed, and told them what had occurred, and made them be lieve that by war, or threats Of war, they 'too Could compel us to abandon , the Smoky' Hill line, IVII/Cri passes througt the very heart of the but= falo relgion,the best buntlog-groacids of America. About this ame, viz.; Augteit 8d or 4th, a party of Indians, composed of two hundred Cheyennes, feer, An'avaboes and twenty. Sioux, are known to have started from their camp ON PAwnee Fork, on a war expedition, nominally to fight the Pawnees. On the 10th theY appeared on the Saline, north of Fort Harker, where the settlers received them kindly, and they were given food and coffee, but pretending to oe offended,bocouse it was in tin cups, they throw it back it the faces of the women ; and, began at once :to break up furniture and set fire to the houses." They seized the women and favlshed.them,perpetrating *MD= chive which could only have been the result of premeditated crime. Here they killed two men. Thence they crossed over'to the settlements on the 'Solomon, where they continued, to destroy houses and property, to ravish all the females, and killed thirteen men. Going on to the iteptiblican,theykilled two more men and committed other acts of similar brutal atrocity., As soon as A be intelligence, of this could be carried to .Fort Harker - troOps were sent in pursuit, who succeeded -in driving them away, rescuing Berne captured children, and killing ". but few , Indians, by reaeon,of their fast ponies and familiarity with the country. I recite these facts with some pre cision, because they are Proven beyond dispute, and up to the very moment of their' departure from Pawnee Fork no Indian alleges any but the kindest treatment on the part of the agbnis of the general' government, of our soldiers, or of the frontier people, with ono exception, the agent at Leavenworth. The soldiers, not only from a natural aversion to an Indian war, .w.hich is all work and glory, but under positive orders from me, had borne with all man- Eerof insult and provocation, in hopes that very FOOD AM measures of the Peace Commission would curminate in the.withdrawal of these say law s from the neighborhood of our posts, roads'and settlemente,and thereby end. all further I was , present at Fort Leavenworth when Gen. Sheridan received notice of the attacks:on the set tlers of the Saline,Solomon and Republican. He Started at once up the river, made every legally, and was satisfied that our: people had given no provocation at all for thes"l t wanton ants of barharity,which were in flagrant violation of their recent treaties. , - Yet he delayed striking their camps till he had made a formal demand through the agent,accord ing to the terms of the treaty, for the actual per petrators of these very acts. Colonel Wynkoop, agent of the Cheyennes and Arrapahoee, sent a messenger out and made every exertion to pro cure their surrender, but utterly failed of success for it seems the older and more cautious chiefs, though claiming to desire peace, could not give up so considerable a body of their. best young warriors, and of course they all became rd sponeible. All of the Cheyennes at once began a general war along the Smoky tackedd Arkansas roads, and shztultaneously atevery arty of white men, who bad received no notice o the change in their peaceful- relations, and who were therefore unprepared for attack—the aggregate murders amounting to seventy-nine in August. and September. General Sheridan, seeing that war with the. Cheyennes was inevitable, then endeavored to keep the Armpit. hoes out of it. This tribe had been camped for the summer on Beaver creek, Sep tember, he, invited their chiefs into Fort Dodge, where, on the ad of Sep tember, Spotted Wolf, Bull Bear and other Arm pahoe chiefs , well known to our officers, in full council, agreed to keep out of the war and to move down to the reservations below the Kansas llne,to which they had assented at the medicine lodge counciL When the time ap pointed by themselves to come and to start for rort Cobb had transpired, they not only , did not•come in, but were known to be at open war all the way from Fort Wallace to Dettver, in Col orado, the very opposite direction. -- In like manner, General W.. B. Hazen, whom I had appointed to take charge of the lower or southern reservation, met the Klowas and-Ca munches at Fort Zarak, on the 22d of September, and agreed to feed and maintain them on the way and after they had reached their reserve ttorf, pear Fort Cobb, but when the time came for them )to move they did not go, but were known to be engaged with the Cheyennes and Arrapahoes in the common war. Nevertheless, by my orders General Hazen has gone to Fort Cobb prepared to fulfil our treaty stipulations with them, and I can imagine no other reason for this conduct than their supposed belief that' by war they can force us to abandon their favorite buffalo range, as we have already abandoned to the Sioux the' Powder river coun try. To show the concurrence of ac tion and simultaneous:nese of hostile acts on the pert of these tribes of Indians in addition to the reports of Generals Sheridan and Augur, herewith I transcribe in this' report ex tracts of telegraphic messages from the Gover nors of Colorado and Kansas. Acting Governor Hall telegraphed me from Denver, under date of August 27 : 'We are completely surrounded by hostile Indians, extending from Cheyenne Wells and South Park south to Julesbnrg north, esti mated at GOO warriors. From reliable informs bon twelve people have been killecrthus On the 4th of September, Governor Hunt tele graphed me from Denver : "I have just re turbed. Fearful condition of things here. Nine persons were murdered by Indians, yesterday, within a radius of sixty miles." And on the 24th of September, Acting Governor Hall telegraphed from Denver: "The Indians have again attacked our settlements in strong force, obtaining possession of the country to within twelve - miles of Denver. "They are more bold, fierce and desperate - in their assaults than ever before. It is impossible to drive them out and protect the families at the same time, for they are better armed, mounted, disciplined and better officered than our men. Each-hour brings intelligence of fresh barbarities and more extensive robberies," &c. On the 4th of September Governer Crawford, of Kansas, telegraphed from Topeka: "I have just received a despatch from Hays, stating that the Indiana attacked, captured and burned a train at Pawnee Fork; killed, scalped and burned sixteen men. Also attacked another train at Cimarron crossing; wLich was defended until the ammuni tion was expended, when the men abandoned the train, saving what stock they could. - Similar attacks are of almost daily occurrence. These things must cease. r - cannot disregard the constant and persistent appeals for help. "'I can furnish you all the troops necessary. I cannot sit idly by and see our people butchered, but as a last resort will be obliged to call upon the State force to take the field and end these outrages. I will at once organize two cavalry - regiments of picked men, well mounted, for volunteer ser vice. Will you accept them?" All this time General Sheridan in person was laboring with every soldier of his command to give all possible protection to the scattered people in that wide range of country from Kan sas to Colorado and New Mexico; but the'very necessity of guarding interests so widely seat tered made it impossible to spare enough troops to go in karch of the Indians in their remote camps. On his requisition,l applied to General Grant for more cavalry, and by his orders seven companies of the sth cavalry,' under Major Royall, were collected from Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, and despatched to Kansas. On a further call the Secretary of War, General Schofield, on the 6th of October. author ized the acceptance of one mounted regiment of Kansas volunteers for six months. The latter troops are not yet mustered in, but General Sheridan expects to have them in the field in November. With these troops he expects during this *winter to punish the hostile Indians In his department, so that they will not again resort to war. and such as are not killed will be collected by force upon their. reservations, and be made to remain - there; - 1 - will—not---attempt-to-descri*: the many expeditions that have already been made, but for details refer you to General Sheridan's report. They have necessarily been of a — detnitorr - and -- somewhat—unsatisfactory character, because the Indians can scatter so long as their ponies can get grass everywhere; but as soon as the winter compels them to collect together in villages, I believe General Sheridan's troops will be able to find themand to destroy all that offer resistance.
