SHOOTING INDIANS AT SIGHT.

We learn from the Leavenworth (Kan.
sas) Conservative that the infamous order of
Superintendent Cottrell, of the United Statsu
Express, to shoot redskins at sight, is being
obeyed, and is working out its legitimate
consequences. The Indians haunt the gor-
ges and patches of trees and brush all along
the eastern line of the overland route, watch
ing for safe opportunity to fire at passing
coaches. A stage driver finds his occupa-
ton anything but pleasant or safe. He is
simply running an Indian gantlet with the
chances that he will perish in the attempt.
The order designed, ostensibly, to afford
security proves to have the opposite effect.
Nothing else could have been expected from
it. The Indian is at home in the kind of
warfare which Cottrelfs- order invites-his
particular forte is fighting in ambush and
under cover of the dark, or of the forest. To
come out into the open field within range of
the enemies guns is no part ofhis tactics. ii
anything were needed to make every red
man a foe to the white passer-by, the order
supplied the deficiency, for no mercy being
shown him, he has no mercy to show, and
from the very nature of the case it would be
quite impossible for the order in question to
lessen the canger of travel upon the plains
We trust that General Sherman will take
effective measures to counterfeit the terrible
evils of. Cottrelfs criminal folly. This will
be no easy matter. The lines of communi
cation between hostile civilized powers en-
able the contending armies to correct mis-

1t is unreasonable to expect that the pub
lie press will always publish only such things
as We, individually, like. A person of strict
ly religious habits and tastes will be Of
feneded if he sees in a newspaper the account
of q prize fight, or of something obscene and
sinful. He forgets that the newspaper is but
the reflection of the world at large; and if
he is SO fastidious, he should retire altogeth-
er from life, for in q single street he will
find, at any given hour of the day, what will
offend almost all his senses. tie need not

is no question that the radicals have carried
more elections in that way, during the last
FIVE years, than by honest means. There
is no room for doubt that the presidential
election in 1864 was carried by fraud-by
spurious votes, by fraudulent figuring and

This way OF carrying elections is matter

A Coarse Weapon,

All that we ask of the republicans is, that
they shall take the entire responsibility of
the military despotism they have established
in the south. We do not protest against it
any more than we would protest against rob-
berry or murder. Those who take life or
property under such rule know, or ought
to know, how absolute is their responsibility,
for they act wholly without the sanction of
law. IAN army" says Hume, ''is so forci-
bly,, at the same time so coarse a weapon,
that any hand which wields it may, without
much dexterity, perform any operation and
attain any ascendancy in human AFFAIRS
We have only to add, that martial
law, such as has been established in the
south, never existed in England, even under
William the Conqueror and that the revo-
| luton of 1858, which Mr.. Webster says was
| "a revolution in favor of property as well as
of rights" resulted in the utter extinction OF
martial law in England. This is Just what
| Lord Chief Justice Cockburn said the other
| day in his charge to the grand jury. Mr..
| Burke declared in the Commons, when the
| proposition was before that body TO suspend
| the great writ of habeas corpus, that the
| success of the measure would, to all practi
| cal intents aud purposes, be a suspension o.
constitutional government and CockburL
| fully endorses the strong speech of Burke
| by declaring that naturalization had beer
voted invariably to those damaged by the
| operations of martial law, thus conceding it,
illegality. We deny that military govern
ment in this country is capable of legal sane
| ton. 1t is the subversion of all law, ant
cannot, therefore have any higher sanction
than theft, robbery, or murder. Yet we sa,
to the south, yield willing obedience to the
despotism the republicans have put on you
And we say further, keep an account of you

ment will come National Iiateiligencer.

There is no parallel in history. ancient or
modern, of the villainous manner in which
this government has been robbed, piundered
and immersed in debt, since it came into
the possession of the radical party. The
wasteful extravaganza of Pitt, the Prime
Minister of England, during the wars OF Ma
poleon, was severely censured by his coun-
trymeny but it took England more than two
hundred years, including that period of ex
traordnary expenditure, to contract a debt
as large as that created by radical raseahty
in four years.
When peace came, it was fondly hoped
that extravaganza, plumber and waste woul'
cease; but the condition of things on oul
frontiers, among the Indians, has opened ~
a new source in which radical rascality cal
ply its thieving and plundering vocation, a
the expense of o tax-ridden people.

The other day well known and respec-
table young lady of the upper crust of st.
Louis, intending to attend picnic, bought
q nice large basket, and, so as to be able
to identity property had it sent home bearing
a large card on which the young lady's
name was written in bold, legible hand
The day of the picnic, the basket was filled
with delicacies for the occasion, and faithful
" performed its offices, and was promptly
recognized by the large card and name
thereon as the property of the fair pic-nick-
ian. In due time it was emptied of its pala-
table contents, and made the receptacle OF
dirty knives and forks, empty dishes and
soiled napkins. Tired and weary with the
pleasures of the day, the party returned to
the city in the evening, when several OF
them, including our heroine, stepped into an
ice cream saloon for refreshments. Deposit
inc her basket in a corner she thought no
more of it, until the party was leaving, when
basket. name or fragments, could nowhere
be found 1t had been stolen, Giving it
ND as lost, she thought no more of the bas-
ket, but returned to her parental roof and
was soon dreaming lovers dream of the
day previous. Imagine Miss --'s sur
prise on reading the announcement in the
morning paper the next day, informing the
public that basket had been found on the
steps of a prominent gentleman's residence
to which was attached card bearing the
