High words were about to be followed BY

silence, and proposed to them to wait till
the morrow should cool their excited
brains, and they could listen to reason
and words Of counsel from the older men.
A truce was finally effected, and quiet
once more feigned throughout the camp,
when the Chief regarding the gold -

quietly out, carrying the gold with him,
and entering canoe, padded quickly and

GOVERNOR sENTER.

The following is taken from the Press
and Herald of the 29th ult., which gave
rise to the dispatch yesterday morning
that Governor Senter contemplated re-
signing his position as Governor of the
State. We give this for what it is worth
whether much or little, we cannot say;
We learn that Governor Senter is dis
tressed beyond measure, that his tealty
TO the best interests of the people of Ten
nessee should be so wildey questioned by
the press ana the people of the State.
For some time past the Governor has
been Inclined to resign, and we are re-
liably informed that he has, within the
past few days, expressed his intention to
send his resignation to the Legislature,
early in May. His many warm, person
al and political friends in the immediate
vicinity of his home, to whom he has
confded his decision, have strenuously
endeavored to dissuade him from the
step, on the ground that in the present
condition of affairs in the State, his duty
is 10 remain at his post and so guard the
liberties and promote the prosperity of
the citizens.

and will scatter over Montana, Wyoming
Dakotah and Colorado, and then we
shall be startled with accounts OF hor'
.rible massacres in those Territories
The Indians will not meet Gen. Sheridan
in pitched battle; they IRE too shrewd
for that.
Sheridan cannot have more than about
1000 cavalry, and il can readily be seen
it will be difficult for him to check the
savages. The infantry which has been
sent out is merely to strengthen the
forces at different forts along the from
tier, and Sheridan can only act on the
defensive until our cavalry arm of the
service is strengthened.
General Parker estimates the cost OF
two months war with the Indians at n
sum greater than it would require to feed
the mdians for one year.

Judd's Tariff BfII-The British Red

] tt0 W tfs
/ WAsHlSorox, May 2.-Judds Tariff
bill contains only three sections-reduc-
ing the tariff on sugar, molasses, salt,
pig and scrap iron, tea coffee and manu-
iacture Of iron and railroad iron; all OF
which is comprised in section Of four
teen lines. In another section of four
teen lines reducing the internal tax by
repeating taxes on sales on gross re-
ceipts, on domestic articles of household
use, and all special taxes except on dis
tillers, brewers, compounders, banks and
bankers. The third section containing
articles admitted free of duty, being in
this respect the same as one reported by
the Committee on Ways and Means, ex-
cept that coal and hides have been added,
Government has no specific informa-
ton as to the intention of the British ex-
petition to the Winnepegg, beyond the
fact that it will sail up Lake Huron. No
application has been made for the privi-
lege of going through the St. Marie ca
nal, but a very forcible intimation has
been given that only empty boats will go
through; the military stores, etc, being
first landed on British soil, and carried
around to the Lake Superior side, where
they will be embarked again. The ques-
ton Immediately before the President
and Cabinet is whether the unloaded
boats shall be allowed the use of the canal
in the face of the fact that they are in
tended for a warlike object
The gunboat Michigan has not yet been
ordered from Detroit to the Straits, but
she is required to be in readiness to pro-
coed TO near Fort Brady, to watch the
British expedition.
Gen. Parker. Commissioner Of Indian
Affairs, estimates the Indian warriors in
the neigbborhood Of Fort Sully at about
5000. They are well armed and mounted.
About 5000 of them are Sioux, the re-
maipder made up Of scattering tribes.
He is satisfied that they are bent upon
war, and if ID shall teke place it will be
the most destructive aad exsepsive In
dian war that ever occurred. He says thess
sAyages are better prepared with horses
than our oyp cavalry, and that the In
dams can raise in al about 1900 war
riors. The Sioux aud their allies we're
ssyss IL better condition to give battle

Of the Indiansis the Ckssqfened approach

PARTY rEAIrY.

Treason is the highest crime of civil
nature known to the law. II is generally
understood to have reference to an offense
against the State, but in moral terpitude
is quite as Objectionable when committed
aginst a friend or party. We have hung
up for public view the Nervousness of the
act of voting for the enemy's candidate,
simply on the ground of personal likes
or dislikes. We have endeavored to
show that this would be nothing more
than sacrifice of political principles
and betrayal Of ones party The in
dividual who is guilty of the like has
committed an outrage upon those whom
he protested to side with which entities
him to tbs severest condemnation. 1t
was in view of this that some time
since we declared our intention to vote
for jackass should he receive the nom
nation of the Democratic party" For
using so strong an expression in illus
trating to what length party fidelity
should be carried, we were severely criti-
cised by the press Of the city 1t avalled
nothing, however, as this has always been
considered sound Democratic doctrine,
and the palladium of party success
We don't abate one iota of that express
sion now, and have little reason for
doing so, since Scruggs and few Others
like him have left the scared ranks OF
the unterri6ed and are running as indie
pendent candidates. The first duty OF
man is to stand by and uphold his
honest professions If he is dishonest
at heart his acts will soon prove it. The
politician who would join the opposi-
ton for selfagrandizement would betray
his country in the hour of peril should
ambition allure him.
