From th® Chicago Times.]
Cantonment Reno, W. TANARUS., April 24,
1877.—1 sent you (via Fort Fetter
man, Wyoming Territory,) a special,
referring to two citizens who wyre
scalped, and the soldiers that ac
companied them, who finally es
caped. The details were as follows :
Ou April sth last, a train left here for
Fort Fett rmn for grain. They en
camped at the Dry Forks of Powder
river, about sixteen miles from here,
the first, night out., several citizens
who had ben working at Reno and
who had been discharged accom
panying the train. Two of these
were ou their way to Deadwoo ].
Crook’s trail runs in at ihe Forks,
and the next morning they left the
train on the Fetterman road. They
started for Deadwood ou tho trail
via Pumpkin buttes and “Inyan
Kara,” a soldier of the Ninth Infan
try, accompanying them, ho having
left the train without authority. On
the second day out, about four miles
northeast of the buttes, on Thurs
day, the sth, about five o’clock in the
afternoon, they were tired upon by
ambushed Indians. To use the sur
vivor’s words : ’The first I knew was
like an explosion, crack, crack!
Smith and I were walking side by
side, and old mau Raud was leading
the packed animal. Smitn was kill
ed instantly, the shot striking him
in the back of the head, eomiug out
of his forehead. The old man was
shot iu the left lung, and, wonderful
to say, the shot struck my gun just
back of the head, glanced down trie
ramrod, struck the trigger euard,
and entered my shoulder, inflicting
a painful wound. As soou as I could
realize my position, I immediately
fell flat down und loaded my gun.
Uuufortunately for the old man, he
was iu an exposed position, and be
ing severely wounded, could not
crawl to tho buffalo wallow,
which, fortunately, was only a
few feet to the left. When the In
dians first fired they were only about
two hundred yards from us. As
soon as the old mau had been killed
the firing ceased, aud thinking that,
they were trying to surround me, I
rau about forty feet further to a ravine
which subsequently proved to be
the only possible safe place for me.
The sun was now uearly down, and I
was very faint from loss of blood,
when providentially looking around,
near my feet, was some snow water,
from which I refreshed myself. As
soon as the sun had gone down I
made all preparations for iny escape,
but something told me I had better
stay. About 8 o’clock that evening
I saw two tires about one hundred
yards on the knoll from me, and
twelve Indians came down to where
the bodies were, carrying tho tires
which seemed to bo composed of
some resinous matter. They
all carried t.heir guns with
them, and were ou foot. Ou
coming to the bodies they sat their
fires down and proceeded to scalp and
horribly mutilate the bodies of iny
companions. All this time I was
ouly fifteen feet from them. I could
have killed two of them easily, but 1
knew that would be sure death to
ine, as they would have held a coun
cil and starved me out. After cutting
and hacking the bodies for about an
hour, they retired behind the knoll.
I now began to feel very cold aud
weak. I had no coat on, anil ouly a
government shirt on, and I was
afraid I would catch cold in my
wound. I began to consider what 1
had better do. I had fifty miles to
walk to the fort, the nearest place of
civilization, with nothing to eat and
a paiuiul wound. I concluded finally
to stay till daybreak, and then to
take my chances. I accordingly wait
ed till about half-past 4 o’clock,when
I crawled out of the hole I had made
and cautiously, on hands and knees,
went to the brow of the hill. To ray
intense delight I saw the Indians
aboui a quarter of a mile away, iu
the direciiou of the Red Cloud agen
cy. I theu went back to the dead
men, aud saw such a sight as almost
caused me to faint wit,h horror. They
had been mutilated in the most hor
rible manner and scalped on both
sides of the bead. I have no doubt
the Indians were Cheyennes, for tuev
were very large men, not one of them
being less than six feet high, i
started for Reno right away, and met
the mail party that evening at 8
o’clock at the Dry Forks, and got
into Reno the next day at 12 o’clock,
uearlvdead with paiu and exhaus
tion.” The commanding officer scut
our. next day Lieutenant Price with a
party to bury the men, arid lie
corroborates the story. The man is
now in the post hospital.

The Capital.l
Now, if you will take the roll of the
next House and call it by States, you wil
find out of the Democrats, and men who
will act with the Democracy, 84 comes
irom the New England and Middle States,
and 117 from the West and South. Of
these latter, 88 are Irom the South prop
erly so-called, leaving 29 from the West
ern Slates. But there is no occasion for
division of the Western arid Southern
strength, inasmuch as it is one body in re
spect to the diversity of interests, party
and otherwise, which prevails between
the North-east and ihe rest ot the coun
try. Thus to all practical intents and pur
poses we may say that this New York
clique, which has for its legitimate repre
sentation not quite one-filth of the Demo
cratic strength in the next, House, is try
ing to subjugatethe other four-fifths and in
that manner lay the foundation for an
other such auction sale movement in 188;J
as that which effected Tilden’s nomina
tions at Bt. Louis in 1875.
For its basis of operation this Gramercy
clique has selected Mr. Randall its candi
dacy for the Speakership. I don’t know
that Mr. Randall is to be blamed for this
fact. But he will certainly suffer because
of it. So far as lam able to assert in the
determination to throw off the Gramercy
yoke has not abated since the last House
dissolved, but, on the other hand, has in
creased. Because this determination does
not find vociferous expression, but is
rather taciturn and sullen, the perhiind
Gramercy managers doubtless fancy that
it has vanished from the minds of those
who formed it. But this delusion will he
very soon dispelled after the 10 h of Oc
tober. The Gramercy slate is all made
up. It is as follows:
For Speaker—Sam Randall
For Clerk -Matt Adams.
For Sergeant at Arms*-Any-body-to
beat-John-Thompson.
The postmaster and Door-keeper of the
House our Gramercy managers arc willing
! to give to the South, provided the South
will be docile and cast hereiglity eiglit lit
tle votes in dutiful obedience to the be
hests of Colonel Peltott. Thus theascen-
I dency of the Gramercy management is to
be preserved; so that when 1879 rolls
round another Bitch it advertising bereau
can lie established in Washington, and an
another National Convention packed to
renomiuntu the elderly and opulent Mr.
Tihlen.
But this programme is likely to come
to grief. Had Congress met June 4th it
is not impossible that Mr Rindall might
have been chosen Speaker and the whole
Gtauiercy calendar run it like a greased
eel, unbeknownst to the Western and
Southern Democrats. But the long sum
mer will afford abundant opportunity for
discussion and exposeilie, and Colonel
Felton lias begun liis letter-writing at
least four months h n soon.

REVIVAL OF TIIE REPORT THAT MR. TIL
DEN WILL CONTEST IIAYIiS’ TITLE.
j Special Despatch to the World.)
Washington May SO.—Tho National
Republican ol yesterday revives the old
story current liere a month ago that Mr
Tilden intends to test Mr. Hayes’ legal
, right to the Presidency under the last sec
tion of the Electoral Commission bill, to
which, according to the same authority,
Field’s Quo Warranto bill is to be sup
plemented. The lailer bill is to be press
ed to a passage in Lx it li houses at the
next sess on, and under it Hayes is to be
busted, it says, upon tbe evidence taken
by the Congressional committees sent to
the doubtful States and now in ihe hands
of Mr: Tilden. The Republican gives
lliisjstatement the prominence of a double
leaded editorial and adds as its reason for
it an alleged interchange of views dur
ing tlie recess botwen Mr. Tilden and bis
friends “and the disaffected and unregen
erated Republican party.” There is no
doubt that all but one of the members of
tbe Louisiana Returning Board would
now honestly certify the elec oral vote of
Louisiana to Mr. Tilden, if they iiad the
opportuity, snd regret that they counted
both Tilden and Nicholls out. Even old
Wells says that if Nicbolls is tho lawful
Governor of Louisiana, Tilden is lawful
President of the Uuilwl States; but, at the
same time, it is doubted by the laiter’s
friends here if any proceeding in the na
ture of quo warranto is to be instituted
to depose Ilayes, Mr. Merrick, of counsel
before the Commission knows nothing of
it.

During his visit lo Pittsburg, Senator J.
Donald Cameron entertained bis visitors
with a story ot his early experiences and
struggles in business. His first visit to
Pittsburg was made in 18131. He came here
to sell pig-iron, and carried samples in his
pockets. He succeeded in selling several
hundred tons of the product ot his furnace
at Middletown at S4O per ton, an immense
profit, and he thought he was rapidly become
mg wealthy; but about the time he had every
thing working in good order, and had piled
up a large supply of pig metal, it dropped
down to S2O per ton, and he became very
much disgnsted at the fluctuations in the
iron trade. ‘‘Hut there came a time when
the business was not so discouraging,” said
the Senator. ‘‘ln 1L and 162 I employed
every dollar I had in the world, together with
a great deal of money belonging to other
people, iu manufacturing pig-iron. I kept
the furnace in operation as long as I could
borrow money to run if. The result was
ihat I piled up over 7,0U0 tons of iron, at a
cost of per ton This immense pile
of iron was the subject of much tribulation.
There it laid for months, and there was no
indication of an advance in price. I would
occasionally no and look at it, aud become
heartsick at the gloomy prospect of getting
my money back.
l At length pig-iron started upward. At
first it advanced to $lO per ton, at which fig
nre I sold a small quantity. Then it reached
SOO. s7o, and finally SBO per ton, and when
l had closed out that 7.000 tons, I found thar
I had realized an average profit of about S4O
per ton. This was the first money I ever
made.”
The Senator continued to discourse of pig
iron. lie said the cost of its transportation
from Middletown here twenty years ago, by
the canal, was Jbt fit) per ton. Pennsylvania
Railroad rates were still higher. He belie
ved that if the rates of transportation had
been lower, the people of this section would
never have erected so many, if any furnaces.
The rates now were only spd.7u per ton. hut
very little pig-iron vtas sent to this city
Irom the East at preseiti. Mr. Camel on
seid he still owned his oid furnace at Middle
tow’ll, but he had put Ihe fires out about four
years ago. and I nought he had made money
by so doing.— Philadelphia Inquirer.
\. Curious Custom llouno Transaction.
The testimony given before the Custom
House Investigating Commission on Thurs
day last, by Mr. Abram S Hewitt, indicates
a degree of corruption among Custom House
officials far exceeding anything which has
heretofore been charged upon them.
Mr. Hewitt's story is, briefly, that six or
seven years ago he was appointed by Col
lector GntNNEU a special appraiser, to ap
praise fifty-seven packages of steel. His le
gal fees for his services were five dollars per
p ’ckage, making J2SS in all. On application
to the proper official for payment of this
sum, he was offered $35, being at the rate of
five dollars pe.- day for his time. He remon
strated, and pointed out, not only that the
law gave him five dollars per package, but
that ten dollars per package had actually
been collected from the owners of the steel
for the payment of these identical fees. He
still got no other answer'than that he should
have $35 and no more. “What, then,” he
asked, “becomes of the $570 you have col
lected from the owners! ' “That is none of
your business,” was the reply made him.
and with it he was forced to be content, The
merchants told him they never got any of the
money back, and did not even dare to ask for
it for fear of ollendiug the Custom House
officers; and the inference is that the differ
ence between the $570 collected and the $35
paid went into the pockets of a person or
person? who never accounted lor it
The public looks to the investigating com
mission for a further elucidation of this mat.
ter. If the officials whom Mr. Hewitt has
inplicated do not voluntarily come forward
and clear themselves, let them be sent for
and made to fnrriish the information they so
insolently refused to give him. Let us know
whether the $535 they retained was turned
into the Treasury, or whether it was, as it
would now seem to have been, appropriated
to their own use —N. Y. Sun.
The Dervish and tue Caviller.—A man
came one day to a dervish and laid before
him three questions:
l Why is it that God is everywhere pres
ent? Ido not see him. Show me where
He is.
2. Why is a man to he punished for his
sins! He has no free will, since he can do
nothing auainst the will of God.
3 How can God punish Satan with the
fire of Hell, since he is formed ol fire, a flam
ing spirit* Eire cannot do harm to fire.
Hereupon the dervish picked up a large
lump of earth ami threw it wiih all his
might at the head of the quest oner. The
poor man was startled at the striking answer,
and lodged a complaint before the Cadi
The Cadi summoned the dervish ami asked
him
"Why did you throw a lump of earth at
this man’s bead, instead of giving an answer
to his questions?”
‘‘it was my answer," replied the dervish,
“ami the best answer I could give at once to
all ti.ree questions:
1. He says he has a pain in his head. I
don’t see it. Let him make me see the pain
in his head, and then 1 may try to make him
see God.
2 He then comes to you and lodges a com
plaint ot me. What right has he lo do so!
I have no free will: and he has no right to
seek that I be punished, s'nce God permitted
me to throw tbe earth at him.

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Komittont Fever,
Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever,
&c., and indeed aU the affections which
arise from malarious, marsh, or mias
matic poisons.
Tills la a componnd remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable Ingredients, wjiich
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Cliillg
and Fever and the concomitant disorder*. Pueh
a remedy the necessities of the people in malari
ous districts demand. . It* great superiority over
any other medicine yet discovered for the cure
of Intermittent* is, that it contains no quinine or
mineral, and those who take it are free from
danger of quinism or any injurious effects, and
arc as healthy after using It a* before. It has
been extensively employed during the last thirty
years in the treatment of these distressing dis
order*, and so unvarying has been its success
that it has gained the reputation of being infalli
ble. It can, be safely recommended as a sliro
remedy and specific for the Fever iittcl Ague of
the West, and tho Chills and Fever of the
South, which, once broken up by it, do not
return until the disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise
from the irritation of this poison, such a* Neu
ralgia, ltJieumatism, Gout, Headache,
UliudiK’flH, Toothache, Earache, Ca
tarrh, Asthma, Palpitation, Splenic
Affections, Hysterics, Pain In the Bow
els, Colic, Paralysis, and derangement of
the Stomach, all of which become intermittent
or periodical, hare no speedier remedy than
AVER’S Ague Cure, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. A*
a preventive, It i* of immense service In those
communities where Fever and Ague prevail*,
as it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy' these disorders, and few
will ever suffer If they avail themselves of tho
protection this remedy afford*.
For Liver Complaints, arising from
torpidity, it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates
this organ into healthy activity, and produce*
many remarkable cures where other medicine*
foil.
