Reported Massacre by Indians.

WE can hardly credit the telegram from Fort
Laramie, published in our later editions yes
terday, to the effect that on the 22d terrible
massacre occurred near Fort Phil. Kearney,
in which Brevet Colonel Fetterman, Captain
Brown, and Lieutenant Gourmond, of the
18th Infantry, with ninety enlisted men OF
the I'd Cavalry and 18th Infantry, were sur
rounded by Indians, and every officer and
man killed.
The circumstances would have to be very
eXtTaol binary in which so large body of
regular United States troops, commanded by
officers of such rank, could be entirely cut of.
1t is barely possible that the report is correct,
but we shall not believe it until fuller inteNi-
gence is received.
Our whole Indian system, as ct present con-
Quoted, is expensive, corrupt, and inefficient
to the last degree. 1t is fungus on the body
polite, which has grown to be Of the hugest
dimensions. From the Secretary of the Inte-
rior down to the pettiest agent of the meanest
tribe, the whole thing is simply putrescent
with fraud and downright theft. The Gov
ernment is cheated aud the Indians are

drastic character cannot be introduced, the
entire system had better be abolished
Instead OF promoting peace between the
Indians and the whites, 1t is really at the
bottom of nearly all the trouble there is.
Should this reported massacre prove to be
a fact, it may wake the Government up to the
necessity of remodelling the whole Indian
Bureau. The Rocky Mountain chain from
Fort Benton to Ell Paso, is dotted over with
the settlements of our hardy mining pioneers.
The great routes between them and the
Atlantic States are infested by bands OF
hostile Indians. Protection must be afforded.
for our mining interests are becoming of the
highest national Importance, and deserve to
be iosteled in the most generous manner. 1t
is certain that these rowing savages cannot
be allowed much longer to impede the de-
veiopment of this great branch OF the nations

Death OF GeneraI Curtis.

MAJoR-GENERAL SAMUEL r. CURTIS died
Of apoplexy at Council Bluffs, Iowa, yester-
day. General Curtis was for several years
a representative in Congress from one of the
Iowa districts, being at the head of the Mill
tary Committee, il we remember right, during
one term. He entered the volunteer service
early in the war, and was soon appointed to
the rank of Major General. His greatest
military achievement was the victory of Pea
Ridge. Near the close OF the war, he met
and defeated the Rebel General Price, who
had invaded the State OF Missouri and pene-
trated to the Kansas line, General Curtis
being then in command of the Department OF
Kansas. Since the war he has ofiiciated as
one OF the Government Commissioners for
the inspection OF the Pacific Railroad as
fast as completed. He was a graduate o
West Point in 1881, and was quite distin.
guished in his younger days as a civil
engineer.

Southern Sentiment
industry.

STATEMENTS and counter statements multi
ply from Washington in regard to a change
OF purpose on the part OF the Southern CON-
munities with reference to accepting the
terms of reconstruction offered in the Consti-
tutiOnal amendment. President johnson, it
is reported, has lately expressed the opinion
that those terms would probably be accepted.
We search in vain, however, for any indlca-
tions of returning reason on the part of the
Soulh itself. On the contrary, the organs of
public sentiment in that section appear to
grow more bitter and defiant. Some of them
are openly and delightedly predicting another
armed conflict, in which the late Rebel forces
will be reinforced by large accessions from
the Northern Democracy. They seem to
forget that this was one Of the vain hopes
upon which the South relied in 1861. The
same madness which inspired the leaders of
the Rebellion still manifests itself; the old
virus still rankles and burns.
These are not pleasant facts to contem-
plate, but knowledge OF them is essential to
a correct understanding OF the great problem
which the nation is attempting to solve.

we'll acknowledge ourselves historical inhdeIS
at once. We can pronounce no Judgment on
a man whom ten centuries have voted muir
derer, Cor fear the ten centuries have done
him injustice. We must modify our estimate,
and belief none bad and none good, but each
exactly as our fancy makes them. There
may be much reason in the seeking to modify
extreme opinions, but we think that in at
tempting impartiality Froude and his com
peers are doing as much injustice by adula-
ton as others have done by their detractions
1t is well, however, to remember the advice
of Bulwer's "Richeleu" to hstorians:-

Philadelphia Trade Report.

THURSDAY, December 27-Chere was a very firm
feeling in the Flour Market to-day, but there was no
demand, except from the home consumers, who pur.
chased only enough to supply tner most nece3stous
wants. Sales Of 800 barrels. chiefly North western
extra family, at $l15OGl3 including Pennsylvania
and Ohio do. 90. at $l2 gl45O the latter rate for
choice winter Wheat fancy at $14'5Od16; extras at
$9glO co. and superfne at $S9s'5O. In the absence
OF sales we quote Rye Flour at 81 25 v barrel No
thing doing in Corn Meal.
The Wheat Market continues excessively dull. A
cargo OF 66000 bushels OF California has just arrived
part of which was consigned to miller and part to
q commission merchant. In the absence OF sales we
quote Pennsylvania red at $26593 10; Southern do
at $9ae25j ana white at SO 2OQ3 As. Rye is held
at 81 20@1 30. There was rather more inquiry for
Corn, and 15 900 bushels new yellow sold at s5998c
in store and aaoat. Old yellow sells at Sl16. Oats
remain without change Small sales at $4,000.

Repentance and Reconstruction.
WE clip the following editorial from q Frede-
ricksburg (Va.) exchange. 1t is sample Of
the repentance which is exhibited throughout
the entire South, ar the brutality Of its tone
savors rather of the Sandwich Islands in
the days of Captain Cook than Christian
people. With such utterances from the South
herself, it needs no spur to prick the sides OF
our radical INTENT

Ireland in l847, has yielded a rich harvest in
the Irish invaders slain, whose dead bodies

now the money paid for their reinterment on
the Heights they could not t9ke, will bring a
circulating medium to the Contederates whom
they robbed and whose houses they sacked. OF
course we pay our share OF taxes to support

patton; but II is some comfort that our dead in

REFUstD.-It is said that the application
fer writ of habeas corpus in favor of DR..
Mudd, one OF the assassin conspiratOrs, which
was Immediately made upon the announce
ment of the recent decision of the Supreme
Court in regard to trials by military commits
sions, has been refused, on the ground that
such cases are not covered by that decision.
1t is perhaps not best to jump to hasty con-
clusions in regard TO the Supreme Court. We
are not prepared to believe that it is to be
prostituted to the political ends OF conser
vatism and retrogression. Many of the most
important questions that can come up, con-
nected with the subject of reconstruction,
have already been virtually settled by the
Supreme Court, and settled in accordance
with the loyal sentiment of the country.

The SECRETARY OF THE COMMON
WEALTB.-A telegram from Harrisburg an.
nounces the appointment of Colonel Frank
Jortan to the post Of Secretary Of the Com
monwealth, vice Eli Sliler, Esq. The appoint
ment is one which commends itself to the
entire Republican par y. The success of the
ticket in our State was due, in great degree,
to the perseverance, TACT and fidelity of
Colonel Jordan. We commended at the
time the skill and determination he displayed,
and we congratulate the State upon having
for her Secretary gentleman so closely iden-
tilted with all her interests, and at once so
urbaue and able an official. The selection of
Hon. BENJAMIN H. Brewster is also deserved
compliment to an able jurist and thoroughly
radical lawyer. Mr.. Brewster has for years
stood among the foremost ranks OF his profess
sion. and is eminently qualified to fill the
chair occupied by the venerable statesman,
Hon. William NJ. Meredith.

ST. LOUIS December 26.-The conservatives
report that President Johnson decliues to inter-
iele in Missouri affairs, on the ground that each
State should be left free 10 preserve peace, and
that no interference will be tolerated unless the
United States laws are violated or the state
calls Tor help. This Is theSupposed ground for
General Grants orders Withdrawing the troops
from Lexington.
The only wonder is how, with the plain and
explicit language of the Constitution before
our faces, anybody could have entertained a
different opinion The conservatives have
shown, for nearly year past, perfect
willingness to see the Constitution trampled
in the dust if they could only get up COLI
sion between the officers OF the General Gov
ernment and the State OF Missouri. Gov
ernor Fletcher deserves great credit for the
GOODNESS and address with which ne has borne
