The demand for woolens has improved;
some slight concession has been made

goods, but nevertheless the market is
better than a fortnight since. In heavy
brown sheetings prices of certain
makes have been reduced &c per yard
and goods like Stark A are selling as low
as l4ic and Appleton A at l5c, while
printing cloths have risen fully ic per
yard and under a more animated de-
mand have run up to Sc. Bleached
musliDs have been in more animated
demand and are &c higher although this
rise is not yet quotable among the job
bing trade. On the whole trade is live
lier, although one or two jobbing houses
have failed to meet their maturing obli-
cations and will probably go into liqui-
dation.

From, Chicago.

CHICAGO, December l0.-The follow
ing are the facts relative to the killing
of the Indian Chief at Dunlap, Iowa:
Several hundred Indians had been
camped near the town. The Indian
who was killed came to town and sew
eral railroad men got in with him, and
one of their iirst acts was to get his
blank away from him. This he finally
recovered. They then took his toma-
hawk, aud when he tried 10 get this
back they struck him with it. This in
duced the chief to make an effort to get
back his hatehet by force, when he was
struck o cowardly blow and killed.
This outrageous conduct aroused the in
dignatiOn of his comrades, and they
came in force to the town, telling in
plain English that if the villains
who had perpetrated the crime were
not apprehended that they would burn
the place. They had force enough to do
it, but the authorities there at once
took steps to secure the dastardiy
scoundreis. One of them got away, but
the other is in limbo, and will be tried
for his cruel murder Of an innocent
man.

The Message.

NEW YORK, December 10.-The Tri-
bune says of the Presidents message
This message is his worst and fortunate
ly his last insult to the American people.
AS he COOS out of the White House he
stops to shake his fist at the Capitol.
There sit the men who baffied him; there
are the Representatives who impeached
him; the Senators who convicted him;
the makers of the laws that fetter him;
the servants of the people who prevent
ed him from restoring rebels to power
and making the war useless sacrifice
Utterly powerless to avert the bright
chariot of Destiny, he can't forbear to
throw mud at it as ii passes.
The World says of the treatment
of the message by Congress yes
terday, that General Grants syco-
phanls, both in the Senate and
House, succeeded in putting an insult
upon the President. This extraordinary
proceeding is something more than a
wanton insult to the head of the Gov
ernment. 1t is fragrant contempt OF
the Constitution. The doctrines of the
President, though susceptible of confu,
tation, are such as an honest man may
entertain.
