1t will thus be seen that Aid. Dimick was
right, and those who claimed the report as a
compromise were wrong, for the report, as
signed by all the committee, had not been
seen or agreed to, in all its details, by the
gas company, and therefore would not be a
compromise. But it should have been adopt
ed, as presented, and then if the gas company
did not conform to it, the council would con-
slider what course to take.
The right of the city council to fix the
price of gas, to'consumers, should never be
trittered away or weakened by compromises
of any sort. The city council has that right,
absolutely, and should retain and exercise
it, and not jeopardize or impair it; but the
matter Of the street lamps is or may very
properly be made subject for mutualagree
ment.

The St. Louis Republican of the 9th Says:
.'The freshet in the Red River has been the

the water being six feet higher than the highest
mark yet reached since the settlement of that coun-

has been destroyed, while fences and farm houses
have been swept away. This rich section of the
country has been converted into almost waste"
The Memphis Appeal declaims against
the avidity of the underwriters of that city as
follows:
"We must enter our protest against the imposi-
ton which has been sadded upon boat owners
by the board of underwriters in this city. A
steamboat coming from other ports with her in
spection papers should not be required to 60
throug h another inspection here at a cost to the
boat of $50 for each visit. We know that in
some eases this inspection is necessary, but the
insurance companies make all the money in the
matter, they should pay the inspection fees, and
not require the boats to do 1t only the
other day that the Gen. Quitman was detained
several hours, and como having to leave
without trip, because he would not submit TO
this extortion. This packet never had an objec-
ton raised against her by the underwriters of
New Orleans, and had her inspection papers from
that port, but they were of no avail; she had to
succumb to the Ubiquitous rule laid down by the
underwriters ofthis city. We suppose the Leif
will have to undergo the same ordeal when she
arrives

THE Union says Col. Williams, Maj. Con-
nelly and Capt. Copp held commissions, and
consequently lucrative positions in the army,
while NJ. Wiser was a private at all times
Col Williams was the first soldier to enlist in
this county Major Connolly served four
months as private, on entering the service;
Capt Copp went in as private and passed
through the regular grades to the position of
captain. If these three gentlemen received
merited promotion, why did not Wiser? He
entered as private and did not get any
higher. This, it seems to US, does not speak
very creditably for him. There were few sol
diers in our army, faithful, honorable and
competent privates," of deserved merit, who
did not receive promotion during their term
of service-especially when they were, as
Wiser was, the political friends of those having
power to give promotion. Why didn't they pro-
mote Wiser, if he was such faithful, hon
orable and competent private as the Union
represents him to have been?

FROM KANSAS.

JUNCTION CITY, Kansas, Feb. "A man
came into Salina, about fifty miles west of
here, yesterday, and reported frightful
massacre of white men by the Cheyennes,
near the head of Smoky Hill river, few
days since, under the following circum-
stances Wallaces train, with sixty men,
was in camp, when q party of fourteen
Indians came begging The teamsters re-
fused to give them anything, whereupon the
Indians fired upon them from without. The
teamsters returned the fire and killed eight
Indians.
About eight o'clock that night the camp
was surrounded by two hundred Indians,
who massacred fifty-nine out of the sixty
men in the camp. The man who brought
the news had an arrowhead through his
shoulder and another wound through his
hip. He claims to be one of four men that
escaped. A party of Omahas and Kaws
made an evening raid on the Cheyennes q
few days since, on the Salina. Several head
of cattle were captured and one Kaw was
killed.
VIM. Comstock, the famous interpreter
and Government scout and guide, says the
Cheyennes and Arrapshoes of Arkansas and
Smoky Hill appear friendly, but a part. Of
the Northern Indians are now moving South
ward, and have already committed many
murders and other outrages. Comstock be-
lieyes they mean war.

The Massacre Neur Fort Phil.
Kearny.

WASHINGTON, February 2.-The Secretary
of War to-day communicated to the Senate,
in answer to the resolution of January 3Oth,
the kilograms and other official communica-
tions relative to the massacre of United
States troops by Indians on the 21st of De-
cember last, near Fort Phil Kearny, in Da-
knota. The report of General Cooke shows
that three officers, Lieutenant Colonel Fet-
terman, Captain Brown and Lieutenant
Grummond, and ninety men were killed.
Lieutenant General Sherman, in forward
ing the partial report of the commanding
officer, says he can make no recommends.
tions for court martial until he receives
the sub-reports of Colonel Darlington and
General Vessels.
On the 2sth of January General Sherman
forwarded to General Grant sn extract from
private letter received at his Office from 9
sergeant at the fort, describing the horrors
OF the massacre. 1t represents that no one
escaped, that "all were butchered and scalp
ed, their bodies gashed and chopped with
knives and tomahawks, stripped of every
article OF dress, and shot through and
through with arrows"
The writer complains of the conduct o.
the Indian commissioners, and says ''the,
are furnishing the Indians with guns anc
ammunition to hunt with, and they ar,
using than to murder white men,"
Tue official report estimates the numbe
OF Indians attacking the massacred party a
5000. There are detachnents of six com
panies with five officers at the post. Thei
numbers are deemed too few, and the wealth
or too intensely oold, to admit of segfessiv
operations at present.

A Mysterious Case-Foul Play Sus.
pecteI.

HARRIsBURG, Feb ga man named Levi
Paup, boarding at Freeborn's hotel, corner
of Second and Chesnut streets, has been
missing since the 10th day of January last,
and no reasonable cause can be assigned for
disappearance that would be voluntary on
his part
His brother, Aaron r. Paup, yesterday ap-
peared before acting Mayor Sucker, and
lodged information against one George Nor
rison, alias California Jack, who, he swears,
had quarrel with his brother Levi at the
hotel on the 10th ult., at which time Morri-
son threatened to cut the heart out of him
UevD, Immediately after which the missing
man disappeared.
The informant believes that his brother
has been murdered by Morrison. The &C.
cused was arrested by the Chief of Police,
and had a hearing before the Mayor, at
which the above facts were proved by seve-
raj witnesses. 1t seems that Morrison drove
up to the hotel in q sleigh, accompanied by
female, and leaving the woman, proceeded
to the bar-room, and in his absence, Paup
drove off with the team.
Morrison went in pursuit and brought
back the sleigh, since which Paup has been
missing. In default of one thousand five
hundred dollars bail the accused was COM
mitted for q further hearing on Thursday.
Morrison has been here but short time,
and is as porting character.

BANKS.

We observe that petitions have been pre-
sented to Congress to remove the restriction
on the State Banks, by abolishing the tax
on their circulation. This, of course, will
not be done. The present system of Bank
ing bears hard upon all banks that arc not
doing a sufficient or remunerating business,
but rely, as many county banks have done
heretofore, on their circulation. When once
the currency approaches the specie standard,
and the premium on gold is merely nominal,
banking, like other trade and traffic, will
depend upon the amount and character Of
It's business. Those banks that have a good
line of deposits and discounts, will prosper,
while Others, like merchants, with limited
trade, must be satisfied with small earnings
or wind up business.
In this respect the First National Bank OF
this place, ranks among the most fourishing
in the State. According to the last quarter.
ly statement of this bank, its deposites were
$2o5,0oO, or nearly equal, il amount, to the
deposits of the other four banks in this
county. One of the great advantages OF the
present system is, that whatever the circum
stances of the Bank may be, the stockhol
ders are always secure, as the government
is bound to redeem the whole issue in case
Of failure.

NoRn1srowK, Pa, Feb e.-Jacob F. Had
dopp was executed in the prison yard, at
this place, for the murder Of Julius Wochele,
a young German, in the month of November,
1865, An Montgomery township, Of this
county.
His object was the money which he knew
Wochele had in Germany. Some months
after the murder, Mr.. Hiderlin, Wurtemburg
Consul, received letter from Europe, en-
closing one written by Wochele, dated weeks
after it was known that Wochele was dead
This letter called for o sum of money, which
the Consul was authorized to pay. He sus-
pected that the writer was the party who
had killed Wochele, and he set to work to
ferret him out A letter was addressed to
Wochele, and sent to Reading, Pa; it was
there to be mailed by the postmaster to
Allentown, where it was taken out of the
Office by Haddopp, and the receipt for the
money returned. Mr.. Hiderln then had O
warrant issued, and Haddopp was arrested.
At the trial chain of circumstances was
woven, which already proved that Haddopp
was the murderer.

THE SUNDAY CAR QUESTION,

The question of repeating the law pro-
hibiting the street passenger cars from run
ming on Sunday, in Philadelphia is now be-
fore the Legislature. The petitioners might
very properly ask for an unconditional re-
peal, but they are willing to leave the mat
ter to vote of the people directly interest
ed. So fair and so just proposition, one
would suppose, could scarcely meet with any
opposition, but religious bigotry and intoler-
ance did not die out entirely with the
Spanish inquisition or with the Puritans.
We are glad to see that some of the most
eminent divines of this country and Europe
are taking proper and liberal view of this
subject. 1t is all right and proper that one
day in the week should be observed as
day of rest, but no man has n right to die.
tate to his neighbor how he should observe
Sunday or Saturday, or whether he should
go to certain church or to no church at all.
That day has gone by when people could be
be made to believe that converts to
christianity could be made by legislative
enactments. We have seen thousands of
respectable and we'll behaved men, women
and children riding in the cars on Sunday
in New York, many of them on their way
to the different churches, and never did we
see the least improperly. To exclude such
persons from this privilege, because a few
evil designed persons might use the cars fol
less sacred purpose, is in character with
some of the selfrighteous moralists, clergy
and Others, in Philadelphia, who could see
no impropriety in those who could ride
themselves includedO in their carriages or
Sunday, but could not tolerate the same
privilege in the poor mans vehicle, the
street car, and who could shut their eyes tc
the hundreds of grog shops and segar stores
open every Sunday, without one word O
complaint.
