Devens feeds the boiler whilst Ro

The news from the Indian seat of
war is interesting. It is evident that
our troops behaved admirably. Maj.
Dodge deserves praise for his prompt
ness and boldness in going to Capt.
Payne's" relief with only forty-five
men. The Indians appear to be re
solved npon continuing the war.
Judge Davis, of the Supreme

There is positive humbuggery and
fraud in everything connected with
the present, administration. The
posse comitatus clause, it is well
known to every man with an idea
above an oyster, was intended to re
strict the army so it could iiot be
used for political purposes. But tell
it not in Washington; let it not be
proclaimed in the streets of San
Francisco, the War Department pre
tends that this clause applies to the
us of tKeMrhfy in deBbg -with : the
Indians. The Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Sun writes
on the 6th inst. :
"In regard to the instructions to Major
Thornburgb, it is stated in army circles
that -Ms instructions were similar to those
always given to commanders of forces; op
erating against the Indians: to strike no
blows until hostile acts are committed by
the Indians. The course pursued has,
therefore, been of such a character that the
army has not really exercised so much au
thority as if it was a police force. The In
dians may assemble their bands right under
the eyes of the soldiers, may supply them-'
selves without stint with arms and ammuni
tion, may openly proclaim their pur
pose to attack the white settlements and
yet they must not be interfered with until
after they have commenced their massa
cres. It is explained by the army officers
that tbe reason for this policy lies in the re
strictions with which Congress has hedged
the Use of tbe army, and more particularly
in what is known s the posse comitatus
clause, It is said that army officers in com
mand against the Indians have in the face
of the most imminent peril feared to de
part from the letter of their instructions,
because if they survived they would be
court martialed j
The latest news from Senator
Vance and the Ingalls' investigating
committee is that the evidence against
Ingalls is very damaging, so much so
that some Republican papers admit
as much. The following from the
St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald, a Republi
can paper, givee one view of the state
of the case:
"The testimony presented every day in
the Ingalls case in Kansas proves that tie
election was a rotten one not a real elec
tion by tbe Legislature but aa election
bought by corrupt men acting untrer the
direction and with tbe consent of Ingalls.
It is money, money, money, everywhere.
'How much are you giving for votes ?'
'How much more is needed ?' 'How much
will it take to carry us through ?' The air
is full of corruption. It nowhere appears
thai Mr. Ingalls was a candidate because
he had espoused certain principles, because
he was tbe successful advocate of great
measures, or because be could in any way
benefit the material interests of Kansas."
By the way, Vance does not ap
pear to have made any speeches in
Ohio after all. We suppose his
duties as a committeeman did not al
low it. : -
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, broke
his collar bone in the Yosemite val
ley. He is now in Washington still;
a sufferer. He thinks there is no
special significance in Grant's recep
tion at San Francisco. It was a gen
eral reception in which even ex -Confederates
participated. He says Cali
fornia is a Democratic State. He does
not think Grant will be , nominated.
It lies, he thinks, between Sherman,
Blaine and Washburn, with the odds
in favor of the former. Tbe Post
reporter next queried:
cfi Iff"
uWto wWoVtbe Dem
c candidate
in your judgment?" ;n
"It is very bard to determine. If Ohio
goes Democratic and New York Republi
can this fall then Tbnrman or Hendricks
will probably be. If New York goes Dem
ocratic and Ohio .Republican then Bayard,
of Delaware, will probably be."
"And not Tilden ?"
"I think hot Tilden."

Fire
Department.
Yesterday was a gala day with the white
firemen of Wilmington, the occasion being
the annual parade o f the department. Con
sidering the very short notice, it having
only been definitely . decided on llneaday
night to have the parade yesterday, the
affair was a most decided success in every
respect, naff is' only another evidence of
the energy, zeal and promptness which
characterise the department.
The parade took place in the afternoon,
the procession being formed at the corner
of Fourth and Market streets. First came
the Howard Relief Fire Company No. 1,
Capt. Alrich Adrian, being the oldest fire
company in the city, with their Beautiful
steamer, the "A Adrian," handsomely de
corated with evergreens. Next: came the
Wilmington Hook & Ladder Company No.
1, their laiRe ,trnck.aiso being
drained oat with evergreens; and last, but
by no means least, the Wilmington 8 team
Fi re Engi ne Company No. ff their hand
some engine, the "Little Giant," being
likewise decorated very appropriately and
handsomely, the whole headed by the Cornet
Concert Club, which, as usual, discoursed
most excellent music. The Chief of the,
Fire Department, Co!. Roger Moore, acted
as Marshal, with Messrs. J. H. Daniel, J.
G. Oldenbuttel and E. G. Parmelee as aids.
The C. M. Stedman Fire Company did
not participate in the parade in conse
quence of their nut having their uniforms.
The companies paraded through several
of the principal streets. Arriving at the
earner of Front and Market streets the
procession halted, in accordance with a
preconcerted arrangement, and was photo
graphed by Mr. Orr, the artist.
Wilmington has cause to be proud of her
fire department. The companies made! a
very handsome appearance in line and at
tracted much attention all alon g the route
through which the parade extended, at the
close of which they repaired to the "Little
Giant" Engine House, where a handsome
collation was awaiting them, which they
enjoyed Very much after their fatiguing j
