The New York Tribune this morning savs:--
money is quoted irregularly. Many loans

bowers pay the advance readily. We quote

mercal paper no change"
The Cincinnati Gazette of Tuesday says:-
'The money market is rather more active,
An increased amount of paper was offered, and
checking was heavy. Generally depositors have
little difficulty ia getting their wants supplied
at SOLO per cent. on acceptable paper. In the
open market good paper is plenty at IL per
cent. and outside parties find 1t rather difficult
to place at that rate"
The Chicago Tribune says
''The demand for money is comparatively
light and the discount market for 6rst-class
paper rules easy at 10 per cent. Call loans,
with Government securities as collateral, are
being made at s per cent. Eastern exchange Is
frmer, the offerings having fallen Off to some

WASHINGTON, Sept. ll.-An officer OF General
SranCs stan relates a conversation which he
mad with the General a few days ago, wherein
the General remarked concerning the talk of
making him President, that "he would not be
President of the United States If the opportu-
nifty were offered; that he was no politician:
that he hated politics. that, so far as reputation
10 be satisfied with what OF these he already
enjoyed; that holding the office Of President
would mar his present comfort and drag him
into the storms ana excitements of politics;
that as the General OF the army he had all the
work he could do, and time enough to enjoy the
comforts OF his family and home, and that he
as soldier. had gained friends enough in the
country without now seeking place where he
should gain no more, but probably lose those
whom he had galned."-N y Epenilla Posi-

The Indian Massacre.

DAKoTAH TERRITORY, January 5.-About
the middle of last month, (December,) a
party consisting of four commissioned Off
GERS, ninety-three enlisted men, and fifteen
citizens, were most horribly murdered by
lndiansa n few miles outside of Fort Phil.
Kearney, M. T.
1t appears that a detachment had been
sent out from the fort to procure fuel, and
that they were surprised by Indians and
compelled to beat a hasty retreat into the
fort the Indians following them until they
came within stones throw of the fort.
The troops stationed at Kearney were soon
concentrated, and prepared for immediate
pursuit. Only a small party of Indians
were seen at first, and these allured our
troops to chase them for mile or two, and
until they came up TO the main body of In
dians, which numbered over l,5O0 war
riors, from every known tribe In this sec
ton of America.
1t is easily TO be seen that the smaller
party of Indians were only acting as de-
coy. and that they well knew the snare
they were running their Inflated victims
into. The Indians presented themselves in
battle array, and with yell such as only
Indians can utter, they commenced. Our
troops commenced firing nor did they ceaNe
until they had expended every cartridge in
their possession, and, unfortunately, with
out doing any material damage TO the In
dians.
The Indians, perceiying the fix our troops
were In, commenced massing themselves,

eE-Al the stories about persons being
suspected Of the murder of the young wo-
man, Kett. are groundless. Thus far sus-
picion has been directed to no one at all as
having been implicated in the affair. The
opinion of Marshal Hale, with whom we
conversed last evening, is that the young
woman got hold of her brothers pistol,
and, in handling it carelessly, it was dis
charged, inficting the wound that caused
her death. This is probably the correct
theory.
