In an assumed pp asm of virtue, the
Democratic State Convention, nssem
Med at "VYilkcslmrre last week, gib
beted one of the rising and thrifty
Members of its party. This unfortu
nate and impromptu scape goat was
tie Hon. 11. Milton SrEKR, M. C.
from our neighboring county of
Huntingdon, and the ppecial sin of
which he was made the bearer and
victim was the "salary grab." That
the attack of virtue was simulated, is
evidenced by the fact, that instead of
leading forth by the car, the other
' Tjaclc pay grabbers' who were ac
credited to the Convention, that
chaste body, held them in its embrace
while the chosen scape goat was os
tentatiously sent forth into the party
wilderness, where dwell Boss Tweed
and a
legion of other thieves, with
the vain hope that this vicarious sac
rifice would be accepted as a full
atonement tor all past party mis
deeds. "Assume a virtue if you
have it not," was evidently the rul
ing impulse of the hour.
But the cold blooded sacrifice of
SrEER is as revolting to the average
honest mind, as was the assassina
tion of General Can by by the ruth
less Modocs, shocking to common hu
manity. Both murders prove the
callous depravity of the partiepators
Steer ws eminently worth v
his fate, but the dreadful suddenness
of his taking off, and the utter nega-
tion of the old time mottoc of "honor
among thieves," causes a thrill of
pity, not unmixed with indignation
at the manner of his disgrace.
But to the o'er true tale. On Mon
day last, the Democratic State Con
vention assembled at AYilkesbarre,
and the committee on permanent or
ganization reported the name of lion.
15. Milton Speer as permanent
chairman of the Convention, where
upon Mr. Glatz, of York, immedi
ately moved to non-concur in the re
port, on the ground that Mr. Steer as
a member of the last Congress had
taken "back pay." The motion was
sustained by Moneun of Chester.and
Moore of Allegheny, who made bit
ter speeches denouncing the "salary
grab" without stint; when Mr. Steer
took the floor, and made a piteous np
jcal for mercy, begging not to be
slaughtered in the house of his
friends. Cakreuan of Philadelphia,
and GETZof York, came to his as
sistance, but the virtuous spasni was
severe w hile it lasted, the majority
Lad unmistakably been wrought up
against the unhappy victim, his cry
for mercy was disregarded, and he
was eventually compelled to with
draw his name, and Dr. Andrew
?s eibenger was substituted.
So crushing a blow was never be
fore dealt any politician in this State.
Henceforth Speer is a marked man,
with a brand upon his brow. How
he came to be so mistaken in the
pulbc of the Convention, is a mystery
as inscrutable as that of Gilgal.
The darkest, strangest mystery
1 ever read, or uocro, or sec."
Whether his vaulting ambition
o'erlcapcd itself, or whether he was
mistakenly relying upon the sacred
traditional right of each member of
his party, to put money in his purse,
unchallenged, and unaccounted for,
w ill we presume never be known, but
henceforth Speer is politically ruined
Our 6ense of justice is however tern
pcred with pity. Speer was made
fie victim of cruel circumstances, by
men no better than himself. We
wish for the sake of his manhood,
that his death Lad been more digni
fied and brave. A begging, cringing
malefactor on the scaffold, is a pitia
Lie sight
The Pittsburgh Commercial speak
ing of the Democratic nominee for
State Treasurer says : "The nomin'
ation or jictcdinson wui not be a
popular one in this county. Hun
drcds and thousands of Democrats
will vote against him here, and we
are not sorry that both candidates
Lave been taken from the same baili
wick. The relative popularity of the
two will thus be fairly tested, and w e
rest conujnt in the conviction that Al
legheny county will give Mr. Mack-
ey a larger majority than apy man
whoever ran in this county before."
The would be chairman of the lato
Democratic State Convention Hon.
II. Milton Steer when on the
floor defending himself from the
charge of stealing back pay. thus
drives his gaff into Lis assailants.
"And who are those who make these
charges against me ? Men whose
t 1 a . ...
uanas Lave been covered all over
with the filth and slime of Legisla
tive corruption." Doubtless Speer
knows his associates, and his thome
thrust not only exposes the manner
of men who were doinghim to death,
but gives us another fine emample of
"Satan rebuking sin."

Failing to agree, each cunty has
placed a Democratic candidate in the
field and the warfare of hard lan
guage, between the friends and back
ers of the rivals, is apparently illim
itable. As the district is hopelessly

The Democrats at their State Con
vention on Wednesday last, nomina
ted Frank W. Hctcuixsox of Pitts
burgh, for State Treasurer, and Hon.
James 11. Li dlow of Philadelphia
Judge of the Common Fleas Court
in that city for Supreme J udgo. The
object of Hitcuinson's nomination
is to secure the railroad interests, and
it was the hope of enlisting the local
pride of the Philadelphia bar in his
behalf, that superinduced the nomina
tion of Judge Li" plow. As the rep
resentatives of a "played out" organ
ization, they arc both destined to be
the victims of an overwhelming de
feat. The Temperance men of Allc
gheny county assembled in Convcn
tion a few days sinee, and perpetra
ted the folly of nominating a full
county ticket, composed of most ex
cellent gentlemen. Many of the
nominees however, cannot sec the
propriety of the movement and are
publicly declining the honor of thus
being victimised.
A tradition in this State credited
tlio Democratic party with tlie pos-
sestion of some brains. Their Con
vention of last week however, dc-
Ftrovcd the last vestiire of this, vio

Washington, August 2C. Judge
Advocate General Holt prints here
to-day a complete vindication of him
self from the charges so frequently
made, that he withtld from President
Johnson knowledge of the fact that
members of the court martial which
convicted Mrs. Surratt had recom
mended that her sentence be commut
ed to imprisonment for life. General
Tlolt shows conclusively that Presi
dent Johnson had knowledge of, and
commented on the recommendation
of Mrs. Surratt to clemency by the
members of the court before her exe
cution. General Holt publishes a
letter from John A. Bingham, in
which be says : "After the execu
tion, the statement to which you
refer was made that President
Johnson Lad not seen the petition
for commutation of the death sen
tence upon Mrs. Surratt. I after
wards called at your office ; and with
out notice to 3-011 of my purpose, ask
ed for the record iu the case of the
assassins. It was opened and shown
me, and there was then attached to
it the petition, copied and signed, as
hereinbefore stated."
Soon thereafter I called upon Sec
retaries Stanton and Seward, and
asked if this jetition had been pre
sented to the President before the
death sentence was by him approved,
and was answered by each of these
gentlemen that the petition was pre
sented to the President, and was du
ly considered by him and his advi
sers !cfore the death sentence upon
Mrs. Surratt was approved, and that
the President and the Cabinet upon
such consideration, were a unit in de
nying the prayer of the petition, Mr.
Stanton and Mr. Seward stating that
they were present
Having been the Special Judge
Advocate for the United States, and,
as such, having made the argument
in the trial of the assassins, I thought
it due to myself and to others as well, 1
to know if the petition drawn by me
in behalf of Mrs. Surratt had been
considered by the President Hav
ing ascertained the fact as stated,
then desired to make the same public,
and so expressed myself to Mr. Stan
ton, who advised me not to do so
but to rely upon the final judgment
or the people.

Louisville, August 25. The
Courier Journal publishes another
letter from a special correspondent
sent into the ku klux counties to in
vestigate the outrages. The corres
pondent gives a list of eighty-six out
rages committed in Henry, Owen and
Frauklin countica since 1870, vary
ing from warnings to property hold
ers not to employ negroes to arsons,
rapes, whippings, pillages and mur
ders. Governor Leslie, some weeks
since, offered a reward of $a00 each
for the apprehension of ku klux con
cerned in the murder of the negro
Wilson on the Knox Brown planta
tion, but since that proclamation sev
eral other outrages have been com
mitted. The outlaws laugh at all at
tempts to secure conviction, and
when one is arrested he easily proves
an alibi by other members of the
gang. The correspondent believes
that the wholc"number of organized
ku klux in those counties docs not ex
ceed 100, who have regular places of
meeting and plans of operation. The
letter closes as follows: "One and
all agree that soldiers, state or feder
al, can accomplish the dispersion and
the utter annihilation of the ku klux
in short order. Can we get them ?
We Lave furnished evidence time and
again that the civil law was dead.
Letter this case. Why should any
one longer doubt? I have attempt
ed to furnish a chronological list of
ku klux villainies. That they have
committed twice ns many as time
and means ot hand have enrJded me
to gather there can be little doubt.
If a dozen murders, as many rapes,
several hundred attempts at murder,
and whippings, beatings and driving
from their homes of thousands of our
lept citizens do not call for extraor
dinary measures, what in the name
of truth and justice ever will ? The
people of Owen and Henry arc ear
nest in their appeals. They even
protest that Governor Leslie is tardy
in coming to their relief, while he Las
thus far done all any officer in his
place could do. Still his excellency
is magnanimous enough to overlook
the nervous upbraidings of the men
whose wives and children arc at the
mercy of the cut-throats and out
laws and he must institute other
measures, law or no law." The
Courier Journal, in a double leaded
editorial, commenting on this letter,
calls for prompt, decisive action to
rid the state of this band of midnight
assassins and banditti who Lave al
most complete control over the whole
section of country around the state
capital. The same paper has advo
cated the formation of a body of arm
ed police, to be sent into the district
and remain there until the discovery
and arrest of every member of the
gang has been effected.

survivors of the ill fated George
Wolfe, among them Captain Henry

considerably bruised about the head
and had his left leg also badly bruis
ed.
Captain Carter states that a short
time before the explosion he had
gone to his room to take a nap, leav
ing the mate on watch, and the first
he knew of the accident was that he
felt himself lifted into the air with a
severe shock and fell with the debris
on the lower deck.
As soon as he could extricate bim
self he glanced around and saw the
forward part of the cabin and texas
bad been blown away aft to the boil

taken fire. His first thought was to
extinguish the flames, which, with
the aid of a few others and a heavy
rain which was falling at the time, he
soon succeeded in doing.

N ew York, August, 25. Tho fol
lowing dispatch is published this
morning from tho Yellowstone expe
dition at Mussel Shell River, Aug
ust 19th:
The abundant preparations which
the Yellowstone expedition made for
the reception of the Indians has been
fully justified. The prediction of
Bloody Knifo, that we should meet
savages in the vicinity of Tongue
River, proved correct. The Indians
were discovered for the first time
about August 1st, watching our move
ments and prowling around the camp.
No overt act took place, however,
until August 4tb.
Gen. Custar, with Bloody Knife
and a squadron of cavalry, had been
detailed by General Stanley to go
and look up the road. Having got
about ten miles ahead, they picket
ed their horses in the woods by the
river to wait for tho train. Two
hours afterward six Indians appear
ed on the plain and made demonstra
tions towards their camp and dis
mounted. A line of skirmishers was
thrown out and the horses saddled,
and the Indians were easily driven
off, but they proved to be a decoy of
a larger party in the neighboring
wood, waiting in ambush for the
cavalry. Finding the ruse a failure,
the Indians, to tho number of three
hundred, boldly rode out and advanc
ed on the grove occupied by the
cavalry. General Custar had only
one Bquadron of eighty men under
command of Captain Maylen. One
troop was commanded by Lieuten
ant Custar, and the other by Lieu
tenant Van Turn. The men were
again dismounted aud extended their
line in a semi-circle around the cav
alry, who had the river at their back.
Rapid firing was kept up at a dis
tance of four hundred yards. While
thus engaged with General Custar in
front, another party of Indians crawl
ed along behind under the river
bank, and tried to stampede his
horses, but were fiustrated. The
Indians fired the grass in several
places, but failed to burn out tho
cavalry.
General Custar defered a charge,
hoping that the main command would
soon come up and assist in capturing
the Indians. After three hours fight
ing his amunition gave out He
then charged the Indians, who pre
cipitately fled, dropping many of
their equipments. After retreating
several miles they took to the Bad
Lands,
One man wa.KiJightly wounded in
the arm, and oncirorse was wound
ed, which formed the extent of Gen
eral Cu star's loss. While the fight
was going on several of the Indians
left the war party in search of strag
glers, and coming upon Dr. Hansing
cr, veterinary surgeon, and Mr. Bal
arain, cavalry sutler, they killed them
and tooK their horses and valuables.
Private John Ball, of the cavalry,
while hunting, met with the same
fate. In this fight two Indians were
killed and several ponies captured.
another fight.
On the 8th of August, four days
after the fight on Tongue river, we
came upon the site of a recent Indian
village. General Stanley directed
General Custar to take Lis cavalry,
numbering four bundred and fifty
men. and follow and punish the In
dians. General Custar, at sundown
on the night of the 9th after a march
of forty miles, arrived at a place
where the Indians had crossed the
river twenty-four hours before, tak
ing over their families on boats aud
rafts. The next day he attempted to
cross the Yellowstone, which at this
point is four hundred and fifty yards
wide, and the current too swift and
deep to swim the horses and men ;
and so the attempt to cross had to be
abandoned for want of axes and
ropes. At evening his camp was
discovered by the Indians, aud the
next morning, the 11th, at daylight,
was attacked by about eighty Indi
ans. The firing was returned for two
or three Lours, both parties using
trees as cover. A party of three
hundred Indians then crossed the
river above and below our camp, and
endeavored to gain the bluffs in
which our men were dismounted and
posted, and were received by their
bravery. The Indians behind ridg
es kept up a fire until General Custar
ordered a charge. Our men then
mounted and pursued them boldly
ly for eight miles. Just at this time
the train came up and opened on the
Indians across the river with artil
lery. A few shots distM'rsed them
and ended the fight
This battle took placo within two
miles of the Big Horn, and was a
tierce one. General Custar and
Adjutant Ketcham had their horses
shot under them. Lieutenant Bra-
den was badly wounded in the thigh.
Private I uttle, General Custar's or
derly, was killed, and twentv sol
diers were slightly wounded. We
had four horses killed and three
wounded. The Indians' loss is esti
mated by General Custar at forty
killed and wounded. The Indians
were well armed with heavy rifles,
and bad abundant amunition.
Some were dressed in clothes procur
ed at the agencies. These were
mainly Uncapapas, supposed to be
under the command of Sitting Bull,
and also supposed to nave received
their supplies from Fort Peck, on
Missouri rails, Missouri a famous
trading post for the Indians, and also
a famous one for the whites.
The expedition arrived at Pomey's
rillars on the I5tb inst, and reached
Mussel Shell on the 19th, homeward
bound. General Stanley expects to
reach Fort Rice by the 1st of Octo
ber. The health of the command
was gooa. lieutenant lfradcn is
getting on well.

Halifax, August 28. Accounts
of the recent disastrous storm in this
province are continually coming to
hand. The damage " in the town
and county of Picton haa been very
great Fences, and in fact every
thing capable of bein.j moved by the
wind, are scattered in the streets and
fields. The leaves of fruit trees are
blasted and withered, and gardens
generally present a most deplorable
appearance. Tho new wharf in
course of construction tor the Yale
Collier Company, neur Picton Land
ing, was almost entirely demolished.
A portion of tho railway at Picton
Landing was also washed awajv
The schooners Jesse Hoyt and
Leading Star and the brig willard Braoj
went ashore on risher s urani snie
of tho harbor, and at least twenty
other schooners were driven ashore
on the same side.
On the Picton side the public
wharf and a few others have been
damaged. The cellars and ware
houses along Water street were
flooded, and quantities of flour, salt,
and other perishable articles injured
and destroyed.
Four bridges were washed away
at Port Hastings, where the gale was
also severely felt. There are seven
vessels ashore at Port Mulgrave,
four at Pirate Cave, and four at
Port Hood. The wharves aro all
gone at Port Mulgrave.
Several hams and houses were
blown down and one child was killed
at Cape Jack by the fulling of a
house.
Eastward of Halifax the gale wm
the fiercest that has swept over this
country for years. Buildings, trees
and fences were blown down and
strewn in every diriction. Two un
finished churches were blown down
at Cape Ray.
The same accounts of the disas
trous effects of the hurricane come
from other sections of the province.
To the westward the fruit crop has
been almost wholly destroyed, and
within a radius of two hundred miles
fences, trees and barns are prostrate
and the shipping damaged. In Hant
sport three schooners broke away
from their moorings, and were seri
ously damaged. The fruit crop of
Kings county and adjoining counties
suffered terribly, but no estimate of
the damage can be foumd now.
Thousands of bushels of choice fruit
are scattered over the ground.
The Cunard steamer Alpha arrived
at Cow Bay this afternoon, and gives
further particulars ot the gale there.
The following is a 4ist of the vessels
ashore: Schooners Gaward, Olniia,
Marv, Octavia, Jeddo, Welcome,
Return. W. M. Hale, J. B. Gilike,
W. D. and Maggie Wood, brigs J.
Troop, Orlaff, Orclcck, Stuart.. La
Plata, Hattie B and Lucy.
Besides these, a large number of
vessels have been dismasted, but
aro not ashore. Many snail fishing
schooners have been generally smash
ed up bepond all hopes of identifica
tion. The whole number of disas
ters to vessels at Cow Bay amounts
to fifty, including vessels ashore and
dismasted. So far as ascertai ned
but one life was) lost, that of a pilot
whose name is unknown.
During the height of the gale.'thc
crew of the briff G. I. Troob. beina:
in trreat danjrer from tremendious
seas breaking over the vessel, Capt
McArthur had a boat hauled over
the sands, a distance of two miles,
and launched, to succor the exposed
crew. The boat was manned by
Capt. McArthur, Ralph Candor and
Capt, Martell, and these brave fe
lows were successful in savin? the
lives of those on board eight in mini
her, who would, in all probability,
otherwise have perished. After this
the gallant boat crew started to the
rescue of the crew of the Pomena,
but the boat was swamped at once,
and they bad to return. Ihe crew
was subsequently safely lauded.
lheellects are terrible. .ot 111
the memory of any resident has such
destruction lcen known. At the
break water, erected at an enormous
outlay, the sea played fearful havoc.
All the new work and a portion of
the old are sroiie. a he docks were
also destroyed. At Bcloncse, a
wharf, almost all new work, was al
so destroved. The damage to the
wharves mentioned, it is exacted
will reach nearly $100,000, while
other damage, including the shipping,
will probably foot up over $100,000
It is cxeeted that over one hundred
vessels have wen driven ashore at
the several harbors of Cape Bren-
ton.
The following is an additional list
of vessels ashore at Sydney Harbor;
Schooners Guide, ictona, Amelia,
Georgiana. Ellen Jane, Margret
Jane; Knight Templar Josephine,
John Gilpin, Mary Jane, temperance,
C. W. Moore, Mary and Charles;
J. R. Homer. Eliza and Christie;
barks enture and Ontario.
It is said that the above list does
not contain all the vessels destroyed,
as a fleet of the French schooners put
in there during the gale, and in all
probability mauy of them have been
wrecked. Eight vessels are ashore
at Grey's Borough, and every wharf
in the harbor there and a number of

A Coal Xardcrer.
Warrentox, Augnst 25. Charles
M'Blair was committed to the Fau
quier jail 011 Thursday to answer the
chnrge of murdering Alfred Martin
the previous night The evidence
against him is circumstantial. The
two men left Melrose station togeth
er on the night of the supposed mur
der, and were a fterwarda seen on
their road home in M'Blair's wagon.
A report of fire arms and the excla
mation of "Now, you, I have got
you !" was heard in the direction of
the spot where the lody was found,
and the testimony of the surgeon is
that death ensued instantly from the
wound inflicted on the deceased, the
bullet entering the brain above the
right ear and passing diagonally to
Uie root ot the niou.h.
M'Blair gave notice of Martin's
death on the night of the oecurrance,
assisted in the removal of the body
and the next day testified before the
coroner that .Martin accidentally
shot himself.
M'Blair is tho son of Adjutant
General M'Blair of Maryland, and is
said to have Wen in the confederate
army.

peror Napoleon I., on the Island of

It seems that the tales of Phila
delphia horrors which havo recently
appeared in the colums of the New
York Herald, arc not without found
ation, as will appear by the follow
ing details of the finding and condi
tion of the flesh pits of the old Uni
versity, which we .take from tb Phil
adelphia Evening Jtulletin:
la consequence of a notice from
Mavor Stokley, received yesterday
by Col. John E. Addicks, the Health
Officer, Inspector Read was detailed
to make an investigation iu reference
to the flesh-pits alleged to exist un
der the old building of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, on Ninth St.,
above Chestnut
. Tha inspector, accompanied by Re
serve Officer Stam back and tho watch
man of the premises, then made a
tour of the cellars of the building.
Near tho door-way, on the south fide
of the building, a large box was
found. This contained a quantity of
murky liquid, thickly coated on the
surface. An attempt to discover
whether a body was lying in the li
quid by probing into it with a stick,
seemed to reveal the fact that a body
was in the pickle, but when the crust
I on the surface was broken, and the
mixture stirred up, it emitted an odor
that made the inspecting party anx
ious to transfer their investigations
to other parts of the building. The
next inspection was several subterra
nean recesses, but nothing was found
except various piles of human bones.
.In the northern portion of the cel
lar were discovered two compart
ments, in each of which were six
deep vaults, all excepting one being
filled with human remains. Con
cerning the depth of these vaults
there is some difference in statement,
one report being sixty feet and an-
othc- one hundred feet. From the
one not quite full the lid was remov
ed, and a stifling stench burst forth
from the opening. With great diffi
culty tho reflection of the light car
ried by Officer Stamback was cast
into the ghastly recess, showing a
human body resting on the top of the
dreadful mass of flesh, bones, kc,
with wlreh the pit was well nigh
filled. A siring was tied to the lump,
which was lowered several times iuto
the pit, and was as often extinguish
ed by the foul air shortly after getting
below the mouth of the well.
The party then made a tour through
the building above. At almost every
step taken human remains, in larger
or smaller accumulations, met the
eye. Skulls, trunks, arms, legs, hands
and feet were scattered about the
building in profusion, and here and
there were standing large cylindrical
tin vessels, which, on examination,
proved to be full, also, of the remains
of human beings, which seem to be
scattered about throughout the struc
ture from the very roof to the cellar.
In an apartment on the upper floor
was found the lower half of a female
skeleton, with much of the flesh,
muscles, etc., still attached. It is
said that some years ago, when the
authorities of the University made a
contract with a man to clean out one
of the pits, the contractor was paid
one thousand dollars for the job, and
found it almost impossible to keep
men at work until the job was com
pleted, even by paying nearly four
bundred dollars more than be receiv
ed. The inspector's report was pre
sented to Health Officer Addicks this
morning, and is as follows:
"Philadelphia, Aug. 26, 1873.
To Mr. AddicL-f, Health Officer
Sir: In compliance with your in
structions! visited the premises, Ninth
street, above Chestnut, formerly oc
cupied by the Medical Department of
the University of Pennsylvania. In
tho cellar of said building I found
several vaults coutaining pits filled
with the remains of human heinrs,
and wiu informed that said pits
would uvorago about siyty feet deep.
I tried to lower a candle lighted in
tho xuid piu that were partially filled
and the gun put out tho light within
six inches from the top.
' I then tried a dark lantern with
the same result. All through the
said cellars portions of human re
mains could lie found, mid tho stench
arisiuir therefrom was lilliur Not
otilv in the cellar hut throughout the
entire building j found tin- remains
of skulls, lioiies, .vc. t ry respect

The matter was before the Board
of Health to-day and wits referred to
the Samtarv Committee to examine
and report.

Westminster, Md.t Aug. 27.
There was no little excitement here
to-day, occasioned by the following
somewhat singular incident : Will
iam U. Matthias, a young man
twenty-two year old, who has been
engaged for the past six months in
selling sewing machines in this city
and immediate vicinity, died, as was
supposed, about three o clock last
evening, with brain fever. lie was
placed in ice and there remained
forty hours. To-day tho relatives
and friends of the family assembled
together for . the purpose, of paying
their last tribute of respect to the
dead, when it was noticed his skin
had asaumed tjuite a natural appear
ance, and on further exiiniiualiou it
was found that life was not piit cx.-
tinct. He is now in ihe hands of the
physicians, and from last accounts
was doing well.

'Washington, August 30- In ar
my circles there is great anxiety .to
receive some official information from
Fort Sill, in order to set at rest the
reported massacre of the garrison at
that post The report is not credited,
though it is possible that there haa
been some disturbance among tne
Kiowas, who have been particularly
hostile, though quietly so, for a time
It is believed that the immediate
source of the report is the stage dri
ver who brought in the intelligence.
It is considered likely that he was
pursued by a war party and imagined
that the attack would be general
Fort Sill is situated on Medicine
Bluff cret k, near its outlet into
Cache creek, ouo of the tributaries of
tho Red river of the south. It is
about ten miles cast of the Wichita
Mouutuins, a range of rugged gran
ite hills about forty miles long and
fifteen wide, and surrounded by
plains. Beyond are the Llano Es-
tacane. or staked plains, an arid
waste resorted to by the wild bands
of the Comanehes and refugee war
parties pursued by the troops. The
Fort was established by General
Sheridan, durit.g his famous winter
campaign on the plains in 18C3-1S63,
and tho Tenth United States Caval
ry and a battalion of infantry march
ed over from Camo supply at the
forks of the Wolf and Canadian riv
ers, when it was abandoned, and
were left as a garison. There were at
least eight thcusand Indians chiefly
Kiowas, Lepaus, Southern Arapahocs
and Comanehes. within a few miles
oi the Fort. The garrison at present
consists of a portion of the same reg
iment of cavalrv and companies of
the Eleventh and Twenty-fifth U. S
Infantry. The kiowas are prover
bial for their treachery, and have
been restless during the imprison
ment of their chiefs. Gen. Sheridan
experienced their treachery during
his campaign, and proposed to make
an example by hanging Santanta and
Lone Wolf, but the so-called philan
thropy influence obliged Lim to de
sist. Couriers Lave been dispatched
from Fort Gibson to obtain informa
tion from the Fort.
