GETTING THE NEWS.
Chicago rs. Milwaukee,

Whfskcd, rs re arc, through this hurrying
world, and at the present time especially,
when events succeed events with such rapid
ity that one scarcely finds time to digest one
report, and search ont important localities on
the map which he must needs have at hand,
ere another and another Is crowded upon
him, 1t becomes matter Of the first impor-
tance that one's daily paper furnish him the
with prompt regularity. One may have q
choice in papers, on general principles, Or
may have pride IN sustaining those publish
ed in his own State, but IL his fayorite Is
habitually behind the times, and he finds his
neighhor getting ahead Of him, one wants to
know how 1t ts done, aud If his faTo;ita don't
come to time, he discazds 1t.
Such !. the condition in which tho purchas-
crs OF the Milwaukee dailies find themselves
about these days. The morning papers from
Chicago bring us one days later news than
the afternoon edition Of the Milwaukee dai-
lies. The fact has been remarked on, fre-
quertly Of late by readers, and their suspi-
ciops that the Milwaukee papers merely copy
the news from their moreenterpr1sing neigh
bors, finds proof in statement of the Ms
consia Of the Esd, that " the G.ntina aud Ners
do not take the special midnight dispatches
which appear In al the morning jour-
nails throughout the West, except in tho city

the truth about it, but II It should state that
the milwaukee, papers, with one exception,
fdke no tfhgTdphie reports, We think the state
ment would contain stlll more truth.
It would be humiliating indeed to learn
That the Milwaukee da,lses cannot fdGord to
take reports. II such be the fact, ne sug-
gest to them the propriety Of tllscontinuing
their attempt to crowd ont the country press
By selling their week1ies at less than cost, at
the expense of their other business Better
charge fair prise all round, take the re-
ports and save their credit. Their present
management looks like stealing the bung
from their OVID l'arrel to make spigot OF.
We caution these gentlemen to make up,
or they will soon find their sleds sadly ne
elected In this region. Our people kno,o
what's what, and are not going to wait
long for live move ut Milwaukee.
"TuE BLuEDERnUss." 1.-The Scntini aud
Wisconsin, jcstingly, and the Daily Life, 60
bcrly, intimate that a special morning train
is TO be run from Chicago to Milwaukee,, to
accommodate those who wish late news with
the Chicago TRIBUNE. This Arrangement
would no doubt be a good ono for the Mil
woukee public, who get .hcir latest news
ftom Chicago, anyway, bnt 1t would be bad
for the TRIBUNE, as It would enable the MIL
waukee tia1lies to cory Its news In their after
noon editions in season for the trams-thus
bringing tho same news northwest thnt the
TnlbuNE does. If the TRIBUNE favors the
special train, It's publishers are more generous
than no have given them credit for.

Trial OF the Traitors.

A writer, evidently lawyer, argues in
the Eoe~ing Post in favor of the trial of
certain rebel leaders in the district of
Pennsylvania in which the battle of Get
tysburg was fought. He thinks an indict-
ment found in that district would hold, as
proofs could very easily be made showing
ROBERT E. LEE guilty Of the act of acsu-
ally levying war against the United States
within that district; and SO, also, in re-
gard to any or all of the officers who acted.
under the orders Of that rebel chief The
writer sees no good reason why DAVIS, or
BENJAMIN, or BRKcKMRDGH, or any other
of the rebel chiefs, should not he indicted,
and tried, and convicted, and punished too,
quite as well in Pennsylvania as in any
Other. place. He says:
In swartwouts case a Cranch, 1869, Chief
Justice Marshall, in his opinion says. speaking
of the necessity of trial In the districts within
committed: ,r"
ut Is not the intention of the Court to say
that no individual can be guilty of this crime
who has not appeared in arms against his
country. On the contrary, if war be actually
levied, that Is, If body of men be actually
assembled for the purpose of effecting by force
a reasonable purpose, all those who perform
any part, however minute, or however remote
from the scene of action, and who are actually
leagued In the general conspiracy, ore to be
considered as traitors"

Frontier Protection.

Gen SIsLEY has adopted such measures
for The protection of the frontier as will
render it almost impossible for the Indians
to interfere with the progress of settle
msnt hereafter. He has established a lire
of posts from Alexandria, on the Red
River, to the Iowa line, distance of 100
miles. These posts are from twenty to
thirty miles west of the lines held last year,
and will cover all present settlements and
all that will probably be made for year
or two to come. The names of these posts
and the distances apart are as follows:
From Alexandria to southwest of Lake
Amelia, Is miles; southwest extremity of
Lake Johanna, Is miles; west side of Nor

Gen. S1BIKY received a private letter
Friday from Fort Wadsworth, dated
April goth. It contains the. information
that ten lodges of the. Sissetons had come
in and surrendered. Among other items,
the writer mentions that, belonging to
these lodges was notorious rascal named
CErANsApA, who took prominent part
in the massacre of 1862. Gen. SHELLEY
had given orders that this miscreant should
not be taken as prisoner, which news by
some means reached CETANsAPAs ears.
He thereupon stole two Of the best horses
Of the tribe and made off, He was fol-
lowed by the Indians so closely that he
was obliged to kill one of the horses and
make his escape on the other. He told
his wife before leaving that he would yet
cause both Sioux and whites to remember
him.

The Assassin Killed.

The public will receive the announce
ment that BooTH has been killed with
great satisfaction. If he had been taken
alive, and doomed to suffer more ignomi-
NOUS death on the scaffold, it would have
been still more gratifying. The officers
and soldiers who took his life will doubt
less be entitled to the rewards, amounting
in the aggregate to over one hundred
thousand dollars. tn.
The arrest of his accomplice, HAROLD,
we trust viii lead to an exposure of the
whole plot, that the guilty may be punish
ed and the innocent relieved of suspicion.
Little is known of the part taken by HAIR
OLD in the assassinations, as the officers
who have been engaged in investigating
the matter have not communicated to the
public the information in their possession.
The Washington Star contains the follow
ing notice of him:
David Harold Is we'll known in the Sixth
Ward, he being the son OF the late A. G. Har-
old. who for many years was the principal
clerk in the naval store. We believe that he
was educated here and at Charlotte Hall, Saint
Mary's county, Nd, and until recently was
clerk in drug store in the 9th Ward. He has
been known as sympathizer with the South,
but no one suspected he would 60 to any des-
perate lengths ih her behalf.
He had been out Of employment for some
time past and managed to keep horse-av very
fast pacing animal-at Popes stable on K street
south, which he took out of the stable about
shutdown on Friday night last. As he mounted
and rode out, he sang out to those in charge of
the stable, ''If any one asks for me, tell them
I've gone to New York.
On the same afternoon he told some of his
acquaintance that he was going to st. Mary's
county.

General Sherman.

Secretary STANTON has issued an official
bulletin, with the evident design of placing
Gen. SHERMAN in the worst light before
the people. In the first paragraph he is
careful to state that " the rebel General
BRECKENRIDGE was present at the confer
ence,' in order to give an impression that
he dictated tie terms OF the negotiations.
He then goes on to state that the memo
randum Of the basis of peace was disap.
proved by the President, the Cabinet, and
"Gen. GRANT," and then contrasts the
conduct of the latter under similar cir
cumstances with the action of Gen. SHER-
MAN. And then, to excite popular preju-
dice still further against Gen. SHER-
MAN, he intimates that the nego-
tiations will result in the escape
of JEFF. DAVIS and bis partisans with
fabulous amount of plumber of the Rich
mond banks, as well as previous accumu-
lations. Whatever may be thought of the
terms of the memorandum between SHRR-
MAN and JOHNSTON, which were submitted
to the Government for its approval or re-
lection, we think it will be found that
Gen. SHERMAN was actuated by the best
motives, and that every base insinua-
ton against him will be disproved. A man
like STANTON cannot ride him down rough
shod.
Gen. SHERMAN, in an order to bis troops,
speaks of the arrangement as one that
would make peace from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande, and believed that in a
few days it would be his good fortune to
conduct his men to their homes. He did
not regard the arrangement as finally,
but thought if it was approved and carried
out in good faith, peace and Union
would be established. He believ-
edj these were the objects of the
war, and when they were attained he
could conceive of no reason why any more
men should be slaughtered. But the poor
man was "cIazy"

Ex.President Fillmore.

Regarding the omission Of Elk. President
FILLMORE to drape his house the CONNER
cial Advertiser of Buffalo says:
We have reason to know that this omission
was not for want Of sincere respect for the de-
ceased or of any heartfelt sorrow at his death.
But private dwellings were not generally drap.
ell and no notice was given that they would
be, and Mrs. Fillmore being out Of health, Mr..
Fillmore, as we are informed, did not leave bis
house after going to the POst-offce In the
morning. and therefore was not aware that any
private dwellings were draped, and naturally
he misunderstood. Expecting meeting
would be called. he had designed to attend it,
and give expression to the just indignation
which he felt for the awful crime which had
been committed, and to the grief he felt at the
loss of a man whose life he deemed so valuable
at this moment to our country. By some ac-
cident no notice Of the meeting was given in
the afternoon papers which he received. We
understand that no drapery is to be had in the
city this morning.
The DETACHMENT of his house by mob
was disgrace to the country Those who
now court mob law may have occasion for
regret. An accident which occurred a
week ago in Philadelphia is in point, to
show the blind fury Of a mob. A man
named SYMoN SNYDER Ga name historical
ly reverenced in Pennsylvania, was struck,
through mistake, by another. Immedi-
ately the cry off, Copperhead was raised,
and an excited crowd became wild in their
efforts to kill him, under the impression
he had said something disrespectful of
Mr.. LINCOLN. Fortunately an officer was
present, the local telegraph was set to
work, tie police came, and by almost su-
per-human efforts the man g life was saved,
though his person was seriously injured.
1t turned out, on inquiry, that be was a
warm friend OF Mr. LINCOLN, had voted for
him in 1860 ard 1864, and deeply regret
ted his death. Nevertheless the Press
(FoRsEys paper ays: at is evident that
MIR. Snyder would have been killed in
mistake, had it not have been for officer
KENDla, 10 whom he may attribute the
preservation his life.''

The Friendly Indians.

Efforts have been made in behalf of
those Sioux Indians who remained faithful
to the Government during and since the
outbreak of 1862, to have lands assigned
them as residence, on their former rese.-
walton lying on the Upper Minnesota riv-
er. Rev. Mr.. H1NAAN, who formerly re-
sided as Missionary among these bands,
procured authority from the Interior De-
partment to select lands, under late act
of Congress-, for the friendly Sioux, upon
the reservation, but Gen. SIBLEY under
Gen. Pores instructions, will not permit
of any settlement of Sioux Indians, inside
of line designated by certain streams,
above and beyond Fort Wadsworth, unless
ordered otherwise by the War Depart
ment, and due notice has been given of
that determination.

A Curious Incident.

To the Editors of the Euesing Post:
On Wednesday night preceding the Presi-
dents assassination. little deaf and dumb girl
in our institution got up in her sleep, went to
. class mate, and after rousing her, spelt with
the manual alphabet, Lincoln is shot" In
the morning the somnambulist knew nothing
of the circumstance till informed of it by her
friend in the presence of others.
The incident would probably never have
been recalled but for the sad emphasis which
after events gave 1t.
1t now seems one of those cases of pre-
science which 80 often arise to puzzle mental
philosophers. i- 2.
Institution for Deaf and Dumb, April Is.
The above from the Post reminds US
that when the LINCOLN pole near Fort
street was blown down, a spiritualist said
that Mr.. LINCOLN would die in less than
twenty days.

The PIoNBx1 seems to stand alone in it's ap-
prevail Of Gen. 6herman's course. We trust It
win have good time.-Preas.
We think the Press will not find In our
columns a decided approval Of General
SHRRNAN's course. On the contrary We
have acknowledged that he had transcend
ed his powers as military commander,
and that on this ground the disapproval of
his agreement, was properly based. But
anticipating the harsh criticisms of STAN
TON, and of the Administration press, it
seemed to be duty to defend his char
acter and motives from unjust aspersions,
and that is all that we have attempted to
do. In regard to the terms of bis agree
ment, however, there may be room for
honest differences of opinion, even among
his warmest friends. We see nothing in
them particularly Objectionable to any one
who ardently desires the restoration of
peace and Union at the earliest practicable
moment. Whether their execution would
have led to these happy results, 1t issim-
possible to say. Time will prove whether
Gen. SHERMAN was right or wrong.
If we stand by Gen. SHERMAN we shall
not stand alone" even if the Press and
Chicago Times remain afar Off The pious
trust of the former that we will have q
good time, may yet be realized.
