Sheridan going on to take command in the,
field. Their destination will be most likely,
nearthe Sand Plains, south of the Arkansas,.
makingthis a base of suppliek then attack
ing the tribes collected together. 'lf we
have troops snilicient to keep the Indians
from making raids north, and can destroy
their lodges and supplies, keep between
1 them and the buffaloes now moving south,
the Indian troubles will soon cease; but if
those wary warriors can draw out our forces
at different points, pass by in small bands
and come north, where we have but small
bodies of troops, and • attack stations on the
road before they can , be checked, then this
winter will be exciting ()tithe plains. We.
have this hope, that the Indians cannot
fight in winter, except when they can find
plenty of forage, and then they have to stop
quite a portion of time for that purpose, this
season; while-oar cavalry can move right
lilting, being fully supplied.'
To some it may seem that - Gen. Sheridan
has not enough troops to successkily meet
theue,cembined tribes, and;defeat themf but
we must remember. that Sheridan- has been

How Seymour got Southern Votes.`;
Seymours's majority in Georgia 1a46 242,'
and the most casual glance at the returns in -
detail shows that the majority Is the result
of systematic rebel terrorism. The great
bulk of the vote for Grant was in the cities. ;
and towns where thercwas military protec-
tion. Seymour's vote is nearly equal toga
,entire white registered vote of the State,
while itis evident that tens - of t housands of
Republicans were kept from the polls by in- H
timidation: In eleven counties Grind did
not receive a single vote. In another group
of eleven he got but eight3r-seven, and in
a.third but four hundred and ninety-eight..
Yet in those. thirty-three comities thß negro
registered vote is over 17,000, and exceeds
the white registered vote by 842. Of those
17,000 colored voters, less than .600 dared
depesit their ballot.
