TIE report that the Virginia Lcgisla-
tup conteInplntes rushing through re.
peal Of her ratification Ot the 18th Amend
mcnt, before the President can proclaim It's
ratification, is one that We prefer not to
credit without better evidence. II could
not defeat the Amendment and ifitcould,
We do not believe tho Virginia people
have so far lost the sense Of honor which
they were accustomed in ancient tiInes to
cherish sacredly, as to he guilty Of such
m net Of ttcAchCry as this. II could do
no harm to the Amendment, but 1t would
do infinite harm 10 Virginia Itwould dO
an injury to the whole South; lor 1t would
inspire n general feeling Of distrust which
would result in pcrpetlmting disabilities,
prolOnging Federal supervision and delay.
ing complete restoration and tranquility.
1t is not improbable this rumor has been
set aflOaL to cut short tho trilling Of Con.
grcss with the admission Of Texas and
Georgia, and to hurry up the proClama-
ton Of the 18th Amendment. 1t is to be
hoped II will have that effect. Once re-
construction is closed, Congress may be
able TO give a little attention TO the almost
universal demand for reduction Of taxes.

Mr.. TRuMDUI.L Sai1 he was unaware
tlAt since the introduction Of the Texas
bill and the admission Of Gen. Amos qucs-
tion Of the highest privilege were still un-
disposed Of, lie could not understand the
unusual haste In regard TO TCXas. When
the bill first came from tho House, an Ct.
fort was made bythe Senator from OlaSsa-
chusetts, (SuMNElt,) to consider II without
reference to the committee at all. The
hill itself contained II clause that It should
not effect any Oftho conditions or glAran'
tees upon which Texas was originally an
nexed or admitted as State, and ono Of
those conditions provided TINT the States
that might thereafter be carved out OF the
territory oil Texas, should be admitted in
TO the Union, with or without slavery, us
tue puOplc Of each State might ut the time
Of admission desire. This permission to
admit slavery in Texas ifthe people there
so desired, was contrary TO the COnsLitu-
tion of tho United States. The Judiciary
Committee therefore desired to amend the
bill und to reportit in proper shape.
Mr.. THURMAN remarked that hG WINS i'll
favor Of the early restoration Of Texas to
her rights, but in viow Of the recent
events he feared that report from the
judiciary Committee would only insure
hostility 10 the Senator from Missouri lie
thought the better plan would bo to send

What the commission lacks on our

pility Of requiring these Commissioners
TO come one from each district, putting

WASHINGTON, NtECU 90
The following was received today, at

|s Fr. ELLIS, MONTANA, March %.
General Phi. Sheridan, Commanding AIli-
tdEy DiriSion, ChicGa0! In answer TO your
telegram, received on the 22d inst, re.
port that after having made every effort to
get the judgement Of the officers Of the
command, um satisfied tlMt tho follow.
ing numbers approximate nearly to the
exact truth aspossiblc: Tho number kill
el ut the Piegan village, was 173, Of whom
100, were able bodied mon, and 81 women
and children. One hundred and forty
women and children, were afterwards cap
turcd md released I believe every effort
was made. by the officers and men to save
the non.combattantsan and that such women
and children as wcrekillGd were accident.
" killed. The reports published In the
Eastern papers is wholly and maliCiOusly
fGlsc. II seems Incredible that the fIllse
assertion Of two persons neither OF whom
had made my effort to inform themselves Of
the matter, should outweigh the reports Of
those engaged in the fight and who feel
that they have nothing to conceal in their
conduct. All that the officers demand Of
tlIGdutlioritiGs isa full investigation 6f the

conceded TO them.
