[From Our Own Correspondent.]
, ! IT. WASIIIMUTON. U. Ci, ) •
July to, 1876. i
Well! the great oouteivuiul Fourth of
July has passed, anil it is barely possible
that there tuay be uu instance here and .
tliccc where some who liyo and breathe
now will Jive and hroathe at tho passing
of the noxt one. Tho first centennial is
over, and a feeling of prido is fairly
escuaablo in tfyo brea.it of every Anioi;-
jean when taking a retrospective glaneo
at hia cpuntry's hintory. Should thut I
feeling be coupled with a determination
on the part of every citizen to use his
best efforts in the furtherance of his I
country's prosperity, those who celebrate
the next centennial may have equal, if
not more, cause for rejoicing than have
wo of to day. Hut a short retrospect of
the political horizon gives cause for se
riou.s Tho last few pages
of our history is blurred and blotted,
and ws ca.n only look to events in No
vember next to efface the stains, if pos
sible, and present a fair record for many
years to c mie.
It is idle fo argue that reform is Un
necessary. Tho errors and wrongs com
mitted by those in thd high places of
a nation are most severely felt in the
hum' lc abodes of the m issis ; liko the {
torrent whioh rises in the mountain, but
commits its devastations iu the valley
below. That a thorough change in our
rulers is imperatively demanded, a glance
at a single Department is sufficient to
demonstrate. Take, for instance, that
of the Indian Bureau, in whioh official
figures show tho enormous increase of
federal patronage since the present ad
ministration camo into power. In ISC9,
when General Grant was inaugurated,
the total number of tho civil employes
• of the government was 54,207. When
' the last official list was published they
1 were 94,119 —or nearly double. The :
necessity of supporting this army of one
hundred thousand people is one reason
why taxes are so high, and why, as a
CODBcqucnce, all branches of trade and
1 Industry arc depressed. The same reck
less extravagance and waste pervades
i every department of the public servico;
but I shall hero show but ono—the In
dian Bureau. The following arc its
expentiturcs for the last eight years :
1868, . . 83,998,353 59
1869, . . . 6,927,773 48
' 1870, . . 3,407,938 14
1871, . . 7,426,997 44
1872, . . 7,061,728 82
1873, . . . 7,951,704 88 1
1874, . . 6,692,462 09 i
1875, . . . 8,384,656 82
i Mr. Johnson was President in 1868.
The expenditures were then exaotJy one
h«lf of what they were tho next year,
whioh was tho first of Grant's first term-
With the exception of one year, the an
. nnal expenditures since 1868 have been
more than double under Grant what
. they were under Johnson. Last year
they were nearly trebled.
These figures tell their own story.
Millions end millions of dollars have
' gone into the pockets of the Delanos,
the Bmiths, and other agents of the In
i dian ring. Thieving contractors have
made imaionse fortunes in -tbat one bu
reau alone,' while the poor Indians have
not been one whit improved, either
mentally or materially. Scarcely a year
has passed ainler the prosout administra
tion without one or two expensive In
diau wars, whioh are directly traceable
to the mismanagement of the government
' agents and employes. There art fewer
. Indians now than there were in 1868,
beoaose they have been shot down by
the troops of SberMan, tester, and
others; but while it cost about three
millions to feed them then, it costs noarly
f nine millions now. In other words, six
miHions of difference be
t tweea the appropriations of 1868 and
1875—wcro stolen l«st year by the In
dian ring, at the baok of which stands
U. S. Grant. The possibility is that

The Rebel# Sid It All.
Many comic things otjour at a nomi- j
miting convention, but probaltly nothing
so comic occurred at Cincinnati as (he
uproarious applause which greeted Sena
tor Logan's announcement that the late
exposures of corruption at Washington
were the commencement of a "revolu
tion" by the ex-rebels, consisting in
"the assnssination of the private charac
ter of every leading Republican in the
land.** We noticed thai. Mr:
was disposed to take the same view of j
tho matter in his defense in the House
of* Representatives, and seemed to main- |
tain that the presence of "two rebel
generals" on tho sub committee had I
some mysterious connection with the ex
istence of his own letters to Mr. Fisher
and with his operations in Little Rock
and Fort Smith and Northern Pacific
stock and bonds. Now, all this may be j
most excellent fooling, but it is still fool j
ing. The people of the United States
may be occasionally simple-minded, but ,
they are not idiots, and it would take an
enormous amount of eloquence to per |
suatie them that it was the "rebels" who
got Mr. Blaine into his railroad opera
tions, or Mr Belknap in his post trader ]
business, or Mr. Robeson into his I'at
toll relations, or Baboook into his whisky
dealings or sate burglaries, or got up the
Sanborn business, or put McDonald iu j
office, or hired Jayne, The "rebels"
must laugh consumodly when they hoar
that they are at the bottom of the vari
ous "investments" of our leading states- j
men. — N. Y. Nation.
The Same Shop with Another Sign. '
Of what avail will it be to elect Hayes
instead of Grant? It will continue the :
same old shop, iu which the same bust- i
ness will be carried on in tho same the !
way, by tho same pang of hands ; only !
thcro will be another name painted over i
the door ; that is all.
Would Grant's eighty thousand office j
holders bo so active iu their efforts to |
elect Mr. Hayes if they did not cxpeot i
to retain their offices under him 1 What j
do they care whose name is over the !
shop door, whether it be Grant or Hayes, j
so long as they retain tho same situa !
tions, with the same emoluments ?
' j
Tho change would be mostly a matter
of paint and putty —Grant eivsod and
the new letters, which spoil Hayes,
substituted.
The ohange with Tilden wiuld bo rad- j
ical and entire. New men as well as i
now measures will rule tho day. There |
will be a ohange, pretty nearly a clean
sweep, and wo leave it to the sober sense
Of the country if it would not be difficult
to make a change would not be for
the better.
Thore would be something more than
a change in the name over the door.—
The workmen within would bo changed,
1 and the people's work would bo honestly
and faithfully done. — N. Y. Sun.
Our National and State Tioket.
Tho attention of somo of our contem
poraries it called to the fact they are not
correctly printing the national and State
ticket in respeot to the names of some of
the candidates and electors. Theticketas
presented in the Sentinel is correct, and
will be complete as soon as nominations
are mado in the first and eight con
gressional distriots.
In some of the papers tho name or tho
nominee for State Treasurer is printed
James , wheroas it should be John M.
Worth. In some instances the initial
of tho first naxe is only given, when
the law requires that it be spelled out in
full. Then the military rank of Gener
al, Colonel, Major and Captain, and tho
title of Honorable are prefixed. This is
all wrong, and if so voted might, in case
of a contest invalidate ballots so printed.
Theso aro matters of prime impor
tance, and should be looked to at odce
for first impressions are most lasting,
and it might so happen that a large
number of the tickets printed in Various
portions of tho Stato would \>e inoorrcct
ly printed.— Raleigh Sentinel

Custer 8 Calamitous Chnrgo.
A dispatch, dated July 7th, contains
the startling account of the massacre of
Ge*>. Custer and his comuinnd by the
Indians:
"General Custer left Rosebud oti the
22d of June with twelve companies of
I the Seventh cavalry. On the 24th a
Iresh trail WSR reported. On the morn
ing of the 25th an Indian villsge three
miles loog and a mile wide was re
ported Gltoen miles off, aud Custer
pushed lor it. They had mado seventy
eight miles in twenty-four hours preced
ing the battle.
*\,"Wbe,u n°® village the Indians
my j, of haste, as t
if retreating. Major Reno, with seven
companies, was ordered to attack the
right, and .Custer, with five companies,
vigorously attacked the left of the camp
Reno islt them ' with three companies
nnd was .immediately surrounded, and
after an hour's fightiug and losing Lieu
tenants Hodgson and MeDonaid, and
twelro men and several Indian scouts
killed and many wounded, cut his way
out and gained a bluff three hundred ;
feet high, where he entrenched. He
was soon after joined by Culouel Benton
with four companies. Here the Indians
made repented assaults, but were repulsed j
with groat slaughter. The Indians fiaal- !
ly gained higher ground than Reno, and
with longer-rango guns than the cavalry
kept up a galling fire till night. The '
Indians renewed the attack at daylight
Reno had lost forty-odd killad before
1 reaching the bluff, many in hand-to
hand conflict, the Indiutis outnumbering
them ten to one. The men weru without
thirty six hours, when thef deter
mined to reach water at all hazards, and
; Colonel Benton made a rally, routing '
; tho maiu body guarding tho approach to 1
water. The water was gained with the i
loss of on&killed and seven wounded.— |
i The fighting theu ceased for the night,
during Whioh lieno prepared to resist I
j further attacks. There had now been j
forty-eight hours' fighting with no word 1
from Custer, when the Indians aban-
I doned the.ir villago in great haste.—
I General Terry, with General Gibbons
| commanding his own infantry, had ar
; rived, and as the comrades met men
| wept on each other's necks Inquiries
were then made for Custor, but none
could tell where he was. Soon on officer ;
! came rushing into camp and related that
: ho had fbund Ouster dead, slipped naked
, but not mutilated, and near turn his two
brothers, Coktnel Torn aud Bos on (3us
| tcr; his brother-in law, Colonel Cal
houn, and bis nephew, Coloocl Yatej};
Col- Keogh, Captain Suiith, Lieutenant
; Crittenden, Lieutenant Hurgis, Colonel
• Cooke, Lieutenant iVrter, lieutenant !
: Harrington, Dr. Lord Maek Kellogg, i
the Bismarek Ilrralil correspondent,
and one hundred aud ninety men and
scouts. {
"Custer went into battle with compa
nies C, L, I, F, and E, of the Seventh |
oavalry, and the staff and aon-oommis- j
sioned staff officers of the roginient, and ;
a number of Mouts. and only ono Crow 1
scout remained 10 tsll the tale All are ;
dead."
The New York Iterahl makes the
following just criticism: "The deplorable
truth is that President Grant is chiefly
responsible for the appalling miscarriages
whioh have attended this disastrous
campaign against the Sioux. The prop- j
per commander of this expedition was I
General Custer, uuless General Sheridan
ohoss to go in pcreon t" the scener of
hostilities. Custer, next to Sheridarr,
was the ablest Indiati fighter in the
army, and his superior fitness was rceog
niied in the orignal intention to put
him in command. After it had been
decided, on grounds of merit, to put him
in charge ho "was subpoenaed to Wash
ington, against his will, to testify agiinst
Relknap. Like a man of honor he swore
to the truth, and immediately thereafter
President Grant, in a fit of petulance,
degraded him from his oommand, and
we behold thercsblt in tho most disas
trous and inglorious campaign ever
organized against the Lod'tano. Grant's
parasites will do their utmost to cxoul
.patc him, but the country will not over
look the fact that the soldier who had
been selocted on grounds of pre-ominont
fitness was flung out to gratify a person
al piquo of tbo President."

crime is his own, and for it tho Ameri
i can peoplo will hold bim to a strict ac
count. Let his droams be haunted by
the spectres of the dead and his soul

i vostigating committee, and was scarcely
allowed time to gira ia his testimony.—
it was said at tho time that he was put
on the frontier as a punishment for his
oonduot ia the lieiknap matter. If it
was desired to kill him off, the object
has been attained."
Atlanta Conititutiox: "M tha Presi
