^WEDNESDAY, JULY 84tht1878. i® MS Jf. VAN 8LYKE, £dit«r. AN INDIAN WAR -jfoftro are justly entertained of a tiboUy And expensive Indian war. The a fen of the trouble nevr includes East­ ern Oregon, Southern Idaho and Wcst- «fu Montana. The hostiles seem to be {•creasing: in numbers on all hands.--' Karnest work will be required to put down the savages and restore peace.-- Qtn. Slrertdan has himself gone West to look aupr the ciuipsigB In person. ' Gen. Howard had a severe engagement With bands Indian warriors in Ore­ gon on the 8th and completely routed the in. capturing stock, camp, amunl- tlon. Arc. Our losses were few, while the Indians lost quite heavily. The savages were driven from three etrong* ly cntrcnched positions by Gen. How­ ard's command and were pursued five nitles into the mountains. More trouble if^aily expected and the War Depart- taent is anxious lest we have a general and expensive Indian war. The army don't seem to be any to large just now. Many of these Iudian warriors have heretofore been friendly to our govern­ ment. But the march of civilization is yearly pushing them further away. The main cause of the discontent of the Indians, as given by the Indians themselves, are three in number; The failure of the Government to provide for their sustenance, and aggressions of the white settlers^, and the alienation i©f their lands without compensation therefor. nrroArn On the 10th Inst, at Mississippi city, Louisiana, Jeft Davis was presented a gold badge and certificate of member­ ship of the Association of the army of the Tennessee. The ex-President of the confederacy took the opportunity to tell his Southern friends that he was stiil a secessionist. He said the question of a State's right to secede in 1861 was at least de­ bate able, but the course pursued by the Federal Government after the war had ceased was an indication of the judge­ ment of those who held separation to to* necessary for the safety and freedom of the Southern States. The speaker asserted his unshaken belief in the right of secession, and the duty of citizens to battle for the cause, for the State. The old arch-traitor, from whom hit country has suffered so much strife and bloodshed, and who was so mag­ nanimously treated after his inglorious capture, clad in swaddling clothes, re­ tains his sectional passions and would evidently enjoy another rebellion. But the old man is powerless and his twaddle can do little actual harm. It i« of value as an indication of the true Inwardness of a certain element in the South who want the North to make all the concessions and then when they get powerful enough they will return the 'wors by doing all they can to destroy their patient benefactors and a forgiv­ ing country. Do not bet your bottom dollar on the reliable loyalty of the re­ bellion leaders; for Jeff feels a good deal as he did when he was at the helm of the forlorn hope and before his **l|ight and capture? 49* A singular case has jtssrt %Pen brought to the notice of the medical profesMo I at Cincinnati. Peter La- vaile and wife, who are waiters in the Central Avenue Dining Boots, retired to rest a few nights since in good health. The next morning Mrs. La- yalle awoke and attempted to speak when a»ie found herself totally de­ prived of the power of speech. All efforts to articulate were unavailing, and a physician was sent for. The M'r symptoms of disease apparent were a thick, dark coating on the ton­ gue and a hollow appearance of the «*yes. On the same afternoon L§yalle, while sitting iu front of his employers establishment, was observed to fall back in his chair. Another waiter nn- dertook to arouse him, when it was discovered that he was unable to speak a word. Since that time neither man ®9r wlfe have spoken. The physicians who report the case are utterly unable to account for H. The patients have been removed to the resilience of Mrs. Lavalle's sister in Covington. Lavalle Is very ill, but will probably recover.-- His wife Is growing weaker daily, and ail hopes of her recovery are abandoned The theory has been suggested that tfte Unfortunate people are victims of polson in their food, which caused par­ alysis of the tougue. % cur5ou® «torjr comes to hand worn the columns of the. Meridian {Mies.) Mercury. Abort a year ago young man named Jameg Knox began IP be affected with symptoms as if ffreeaiug. and though the physicians irted every mean* to warm him up they were unable to do so. The aeosa^ lions of extreme cold whieh he exne- l4enced grew worse atid worse uatll •ven in the hottest weather In summer would wrap hiraeeff in heavy Wank- lU *nd sit before blazing firet «.| _ vain efloi t to keep ̂ Inibelf warm. The ,#th«r day, when returning^hoime' from 9 doctor's office, he complained of be- fug colder than ever, lay down jn bottom of the wagon and died before he reached his home, apparently free*-' fus: to death, though the thermometer indicated 90 degrees in the shade. ^ 7 .

Mr. Kelly has purchased 480 acrcs of land near Council Grove, the County Seat of Morris County. J. D. Ferguson left yesterday for Iowa where he intends purchasing milch cows for the dairy market. Mrs. John Horn, (living between here and Dundee.) whye (towing away hay in a barn last Wednesday, fell down helpless, from the cause of heat no doubt. She was At onoe removed to the house where sho survived but a short time. The firm of French Shaw & Co., who went into bankruptcy nearly two years ago and have been fighting with their creditors since, arrived at a settlement last week, paying of! the creditors with 15 cents on a dollar.-- This has been one of the longest con­ tested bankrupt cases In Chicago.-- Roguery no doubt caused the delay. This makes the second time S. A., French has succeeded in p aying his debts at a discount. "What next" Lonis Rartlitig, a young man 18 years old, was sun-stroke about 4,0'ciock Wednesday afternoon while raking hay for Fred Donning, a farmer two miles East of here. He was seen to leave his horse and go a short distance jump over a fence and lay down under tree. Mr. Dunning thinking some­ thing was wrong went to his assist­ ance but the poor fellow was only able to speak a few words which were not understood. He was immediate­ ly taken to the house and medical assis­ tance sent for at once but the sun had done its work too well, as life only lingered till 2 o'clock next morning. Mr. Dunnin^s family are stricken with grief over his death. He was a near relative and has been raised in the family from childhood. During his life he was looked upon as being a mod­ el youth, having acquired the best of habits, ever attentive to his .duties, fanrl always had a kind word and a helping hand for the needy. PONY*.

Sycamore has hitherto been happily free from the tramp nuisance, but it is free no longer. A gang of 26 of the worst of the order were brought here on Tuesday by special train from De­ Kalb, and are now Incarcerated in on# County jail. There was a circus in Roche lie Monday which left for Elgin that night. These fellows followed the circus and wishing to go to Elginf, they laid In a box car, and were mak­ ing their way nicely till at Malta their car was switched o3. Then they ram and took possession of the passenger caboose. The conductor ordered them off but they refused to go; then he tried to get a posse at Malta to assist him in putting them off, but Malta did not want them put off, and did not aid him. Meantime word had been sent to Chicago, and the Northwestern Com­ pany telegraphed to the Mayor of De­ Kalb asking that they be arrested on arrival at that rflace. Mayor Allen promptly summoned a posse and when the train arrived, he boarded it and with pistols in hand captured thirteen of the tramps and coon had them safe In the calaboose. This iiad hardly been accomplished, when another telegram was received stating that another train would arrive at midnight in charge of tramps! The Mayor cap­ tured seventeen more from this train. This more than filled the calaboose, and as the night was hot they were obliged to keep the doors and win­ dows open and to restrain them by a strong guard. In the morning Mr. A. M. Herrington of Geneva, attorney for the Road, appeared at DeKalb and they were severally brought up before the Justice and bound ;o?er for trial for riot and robbery. 7 Twenty-six were sent by special train to Sycamore, with a guard of one man to each prisoner. On the way a leader among them reached up and seized the bell-rope intending to stop the train and get away. He was knocked down--the club making a ter­ rible gash iu his head, and a- razor concealed in his boot-leg was taken from him. .
