THEY HAVE REPORTED.


We see il noticed In our Eastern ex-
changes as telegraphic news that the
Indian Commission whose doings last
summer would have classed their imme
diate determination, by the people of the
west, under the head of justifable hom-
icide, have made theirreport. As might
have been anticipated, the whites are
denominated the sggressors, and are
wholly to blame in the recent troubles.
We understand tbs the Montana militia
came in for a share of denunciation in
having waged or meditated the intention
OF aggressive warfare against the Sioux.
CheyenDes aud Arrspahoes, whose only
otfense has been the massacre of . tew
hundred eInigrsnts pioneers and United
States soldiers, and the capture of few
hnndrsd thousand dollars worth of prop
erty. They recommend the organization
of a separate Indian Department Bureau
and the establishment Of two great exclu-
sive Indian reservations, one to be what
is now known as the Indian Territory,
south of Kansas The other to be a slice
of Dakota, on the immediate northern
boundary of Nebraska, the western
boundary being the 1O4th meridian
which is also the eastern boundary of
Montsna; the northern boundary being
the 45th parallel, which is the southern
boundary of Montana; the Missouri
river being the eastern boundary. and
Nebrsska the southern boundary. This
brings the northwest corner of the pro-
posed reservation in conjunction With
the southeast corner OF Montana. We
do not believe in the reservation system,
but IL we must have 9 reservation for the
northern Indians and their friends, the
commissioners, agents and superinten-
dents, that is probably as good place
for them as any. Il docs not cover the
Bozeman or Platte routes. and Is equi-
distant between the lines of the Central
and Northern Pacific Railroads. The
Report recommends the continuance Of
the Commission another year, and a. this
recommendation win probably be adop-
ted and no definite action taken in regard
to the establishment of these expensive
humbugs at this session of Congress, We
hope to see revolution in the Congres-
sional view of the Indian question and
wiser counse;s prevail. IL ID certainly n
most ncomprehensible mystery that on
question in which no political consid-
Grafton can have influence, the people Of
the east, bone OF our bone and flesh of
our flesh, look upon those of the west as
red-hsnded, bloodthirsty fends incar-
nate, and have all their sympathies alive
for the poor, injured, helpless Indians,
while the universal testimony of the
thousands of people who have passed
through the gauntlet of FIRE and arrows
on theplains and know the true situation
of affairs, is completely iguored in all leg
islative action and by large number of
Journals We expect this Report is
Jewel of its kind, and look for it with
considerable interest.

SOME one who had been slightly gull
ed, wrote a letter of inquiry to the Tri-
1U5.e. asking if it was true the National
Banks had made dividends aggregating
$50 per cent in the last year The 7ri-
bUNs says the city banks have made
from 20 to 80 per cent; country banks.
on an average, per cent. Itis thought
many of them will have to wind mp the
coming year. Jay Cooke recently stated
that owing to the limitation of National
banking capital, there are some 1000
banks however in the country, the notes
of the half dozen or so that had failed
at oRce commanded premium of or s
per cent. Bills of National Banks that
have closed are more likely to be ut a
premium than discount.

THE California Legislature has up be-
fore it the Eight Hour Labor question.
The mechanics of the State are organized
and form very strong political element.
The Mechanics Council drafted q bill
which was introduced in its original
form, wherein It is made an offense,
punishable with fine and imprisonment,
for any contractor on State work to work
his employees more than eight hours
per day. The bill was referred to the
Judiciary committee who reported sub
stitute giving employers and employed
the right to make special contract for
any number Of hours they choose. The
mechanics are irate at this action, and
Messrs. Lspton and Pspy, who owe
their election to Republican mechanics
who went over to the Democracy to
vote for them as advocates of the me-
chanics interests, were severely handled
by the Council. at last accountc def
mite action hal not been taken on the |
question. |

THE CAMPAIGNs OF GEN. FORREST.
AND OF FORESTS CAVALRY.

This, work by Gen Thomas Jordan and
J. P. Pryor, has just been issued from the
press, and is one Of the most absorbing
chapters of war in this or any other
country. The deeds Of Gen. Forrest
commanded the wonder of foes as they
secured the unbonnded admiration Of
friends in the day Of strife No cavalry
commander Of modern times achieved 50
much for the cause in which he welded
the sabre, and few examples in history
have equalled him in the bOldness Of his
enterprises and the splendors of his sues
cess. His personal daring and achiev-
ments place his name in juxtaposition
with the higest on the lists Of knighthood
and ehivalry, and invest his military ca
reer with the charming interest of hisr
toric romance. He was always the cham
pion in his corps, and never ordered his
men where he hesitated to lead

middle ages, and cannot fail to be the
most thrilling Of all the stories of the

TRE IACORTN ORGIES.

la the line of our business we have
read the whole Of what, by courtesy, is
called the debate on the impeachment
proposition, which occurred in the House
of Representatives on Saturday and
Monday With the exception Of the re-
marks Of Judge Wilson, of Iowa, in
favor and those Of Judge Woodward, of
Pennsylvania, and Messrs. Brooks aud
Wood, of New York, against it, it is a
tissue of thrice-beaten Radical chat
uttered in language better suited to the
Pot-house than the chambero Of an Ameri,
can legislative assembly, deliberating the
most momentous subject ever submitted
10 it, There Is displayed in il an igno-
rance Of the first principles Of the govern
ment a puerility Of argument, and low
minded rancor disEraceful to the nation.
The miserable fools whom the war and
generally demoralized state of public
temper have placed in that body, exhibit
neither sense, decency nor dignity. The
rocoi which is to follow such conduct
viii be salutary, and if it is not manifest
n ten DAYS we shall be surprised.

served says the St Louis Republican,
that the Radicals have not done this
thing for the safe-keeping Of any great
interest Of the nation; nor because the
President was at variance with Congress
in regard 10 some vital question of our
national politics nor because he would
by his action involve us in a war with
foreign power, or create dissensions, OF
perhaps rebellious movements in the
country. Not at all They have recon.
mended his impeachment for an act
which, far from involving one criminal
purpose, or from initiating any danger
Gus policy, or from showing any act dis
paraging the high position of az Ameri-
can President, will be regarded by every
good citizen as a simple necessity, for the
vindication Of that self-respect which the
President not only owed to himself, but
which he owed in far higher measure to
the nation that had put him in his place.
They have recommended the impeach.
ment, because the President committed
an act that every honest man in the
whole nation would have committed if
in his place, and for the neglect of which
he would rightfully have incurred the
blame of courageous people as coward
and a low>minded person, who would
permit himself to be insulted with impu-
nifty by one Of his interiors And all for
Stanton All for man who was so void
of all manGness, honor and decency that
he persisted in remaining in the private
council Of the President, whose contempt
he had deserved, and notwithstanding
the two highest officers of the army, who
might be supposed to understand some
thing of the code of honor, had requested
him 10 retire"

to-day engaged upon the third tax ofdi-
nance. So far as adopted, it provides for
the levy 81 a special tax Of fly per cent.
on the amcnat Of State tar assessed on real
estate and personal property Of the State

year also one-half Of one per cent. on the
value Of stock now on hand in each dry
goods, grocery or provision store, and the
stock of goods or merchandise and all
movable or personal property not herein
otherwise provided; also, fily cents on
each bale Of cotton now in the State. This
was reduced from one dollar after discus
sion, the taxes to be paid in convention
warrants or United States Treasury notes,
to be collected by the Sherifs and Tax
Collectors Of the States. This act or clause
of our convention was warmly supported
by extremists, and il was finally decid-
ed TO allow the money to pass in the regular
course through the State Treasury. Ten
more sections to be adopted provide unim-
portant details.

ton in rebellion, and that the laws and

THE SITUATION.

Our columns will be found to contain
the latest intelligence regarding the imo
broglio at Washington. As comment,
we have nothing to add beyond what was
said on yesterday. A days observation
and reflection has confirmed the view
that there will be no attempt to suspend,
and that under the subsistence of passion
which is taking place, the impeachment
will proceed slower than the Jacobins
desire, and that as reason resumes the
sway, the probabilities of the removal of
the President will diminish On the
fourth page to-day will be found inter-
esting extracts from the New York press
on the all-absorbing question

Impeachment TO be Driven
Through by Gag Law.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The political
situation is unchanged, but the fever of ex-
element has been subdued, and both Con
gress and the people to-day seem to have
recovered their equanimity.
A SLIGHT SENSATION
was created when Thad. Stevens and Bing-
ham, on the part of the House, notified the
Senate of the Presidents impeachment.
Stevens was carried from the House to the
Senate door in chair, a crowd of Radical
members following. He then stood erect,
with Bingham's assistance, and delivered the
message from the House in a distinct and
measured tone of voice. This done, Ste
vens, after resting few minutes, was car
ried back to the House, and informed the
Speaker that the mission was accom-
plished
