RETRIBUTION AND VENGEANCE.

A gentleman, who, the Rev. Leonard
Bacon says, is not undistinguished in Min
nesota, relates the following as fact
within his own knowledge:
ga slender boy of sixteen returning
from deer hunt in the fall of 1862, to
the humble cabin of his parents, found it
in ashes, his father, mother, sisters,
brothers, all murdered, ravlshed, mutt
lated and mangled almost past recogni-
ton, by the Sioux Indians. Can you
wonder, or can you blame that poor boy
for consecrating his life to the cause of
retributive justicel The last time l met
him he had one hundred and eight Sioux
scalps which he had taken singly and
alone. He seemed confident that God
would protect him till he accumulated
two hundred scalps, when he was willing
to die. This is but one of hundreds of
similar cases. Twenty-Five years expe-
rience on the frontiers, and with the In
dams, leads me to believe that there is an
inherent beastlinesS intheir nature that can
only be wiped out in blood. The severe
| chastisement which Baker gave them in
Montana recently, and which you seem to-
disapprove, is, probably, if we out here
know anything about il, the result of THE
PRIVATE VENGEANCE OF A L ADY IN MIME
| sofa whose brother was called out of his
cabin and murdered in cold blood by this
same band of Indians
Well God pity us, exclaims the New
York Express, when lady can instigate
massacre of women and children as
well as men, like that of Bakers, and
approved by Sheridan. How worthless
are all treaties, in the presence of such
sworn enemies to peace; and how hope
less is the future, when a creature is upon
the warpath possessing los scalps as
as proof of his valor and ven
geance-aud still blood thirsty for
more! The same writer adds:
"They hunt Indians as they would
wolves and show no mercy. They hunt
on their own hook, generally singly and
alone. They hang upon the trail
of an Indian and mark his movements
with the eye of an eagle and the ferocity
of tiger"
We have rarely heard anything so brutal
or so cruel, and though one is panied and
made sick by Indian atrocities, the ven
geance of white men puts us all to the
blush. The wolf turns upon his pursuer,
and so does the Indian. The Government
puts fre-water into his mouth, cheats him
of his dues, drives him from his home
and then marvels that the ignorant savage
is as indiscriminate as the white man IN
the deadly work of retaliation.

An Old FaIIacy Exploded.

Thirty or forty years ago, it was the fashion to
administer powerful purgatives as "spring medi-
cnes" Terrific doses Of salts and SIENNA, calomel
and jalap, or glauber salts were given to all the
members OF a family, whether sick or well, by way
Of preparing them for the warm weather in pros
pect. This perncious custom is nearly obsolete,
but there are some old Bourbons of private life,
incapable alike of forgetting anything or learning
anything, who obstinatey cling to it still. Nothing
could be more pernicious, more utterly unphilo-
sophical, than such onslaught on the vigor and
elasticity of the system. In order to enable the
physical structure to resist the enervating effects
of spring damps and summer heats, it should be
toned and reinforced, not relaxed and weakened
The best medicine agent for this purpose is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. Its effect is to tone the
stomach and liver, gently relieve the bowels from
distractions, brace the nerves. improve the quality
of the blood, stimulate the appetite and cheer the
spirits In this improved condition the organiza-
ton is capable of resisting unhealthy influences
which would PROSTATE enfeebled system
vigorous digestion is absolutely essential to
health. and there is no danger of the stomach
fsIterine or failing in its important Office if this
genial vegetable elixir is taken regularly as

will supply the place of the Bitters, for the simple
reason that they operate as astringents only In I

would be required to produce separately, the bene-
acicl results which are effected simultaneously

rHn NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

W. have f,rborne IL SAY anything of

y
we have forborne 70 say anything of
the Unpleasant complication, which has
existed for short time between two OF
Kentucky's most distinguished sons /,
Senator McCreery and Gov. Stevenson
We have no personal acquaintance With
either, nor have we any general acquain
lance with the personal charactero either.
We know the one to be United States
Senator elect. We know the other to be
United States Senator in fact, d, eris-
ta,ste. We have read and endeavored
inwardly to digest their publications with
out prejudice, favor or affection for
either - 49,
Perhaps if there had been no contest
between them for the United States Sen
ate, there would have been no controver-
sy between them now as individuals.
But of these probabilities we have not to
speak, only of realities. We do not pro-
fess to be peace-makers. Indeed, we
4 think that the professional peace-maker
does more injury than benefit. Never
theless, we do not think that there is
such a difference between them as need
be irreconcilable.
We can readily see how Senator Nc
Creery may feel the more deeply cha
grined, and the less disposed to accom-
nsodate the matter. he is the loser in
the Senatorial race, and perhaps
because of these false reports
about him. He has another
advantage of Gov. Stevenson in the tone
and tenor of the Governors letter, of the
Goth of March, to Hon. I. L. Jones.
However, we have only to add that
these extraneous matters came up most
unfortunately in connection with the
Senatorial race in Kentucky. Judging
from our knowledge of human nature, the
seeds of an interneciRe war are sown, the
fruits of which will be Democratic dis
cord and defeat 1t may be prevented by
prompt, vigorous, determined action OF
the part of Kentuckians of the older sort
native and to the manner born, who have
the courage to make a bold explanation
or the daring to receive it.

The Dyersburg Gazette has this pun

you indite such partisan paragraphs as the
one to which we allude, to the extent Of

The disposition manifested by the Radi-
Gals to magnify every fsray of thieves

into Ku-KIux outrage is inficting ire
parable injury upon the State. The men
who are engaged in this misrepresentation
are no friends of the State. These men
are not working in the interest of Ten

personal considerations-the retention OF
power and place in their own hands, and
to accomplish their ends, are willing
to sacrifice the interests of the people
among whom they live. This giving to
every thieving expedition and pet Q neigh

the work of men who have grown des-
perate over the loss of the offices they held

They are generally men who were unused
to official position, and the exercise Of
power "turned their heads, and now in
their malignant rawlings, they exhibit s

THE HOWARD INVESTIGATION.


The investigation of the charges against
Gen. Howard is progressing slowly, but
enough is developed to show that be did
not discharge the trust confided to him
with fidelity or in the interest of the Gov
eminent. The testimony taken by the
committee on Thursday, April %, devel-
oped the following facts:
"Professor Ogden, of the Fisk Uni
versity at Nashville, Tenn, testified
that he had received bureau aid from
Gen. Howard to the extent of $4,000,
81, 900 of it being in bords of the Young
Mems Christian Association, of this city.
He also testified that since the present in
vestigation began, Gen. Howard tele-
graphed to him that if he would return his
bond it would be cashed. On further
questioning, the witness produced the tel
egram. The examination of Mr.. J. NJ.
Brown, disbursing officer of the Bureau
for the District, began. He testified that
the lumber for several hundred tenements
on the Barry farm, and three or four new
barracks in the city, was contracted
for by Gen. Charles Howard, and
purchased of his father-in-law, Foster, of
Bangor, Maine. 1t was brought here at
great expense. The same witness testified
20 having been directed to pay thirty-three
thousand dollars, principally from funds
voted by Congress to relieve the destitute
in this district, aad from the refugee fund,
for grading property, in which the deeds
show private parties to have been inter
ested. The witness was directed to pre-
pare a detailed statement of all expendi-
lures on account of the University hospi-
tai and Barry farm. :"

ADvICEs from the far West come
freighted with warning regarding the
unsatisfactory situation Of our Indian
relations. A Washington letter says
"Serious apprehensions of a costly Indian
war are entertained by our government
officials here. All along the borders of
Northern Montana and Wyoming the In
dams arc excited and settlers alarmed. ="
A recent letter from Mr.. Sanborn, former
Indian Commissioner, describes the bit
terly hostile feeling existing among the
warlike Dakotas, in consequence of a
breach of faith pledged to them BY tie
United States government. The Spring
field Republican adds that it has
received shelters desclibiug the
alarm felt by the settlers in
Wyoming, Colorado and Montana, at the
prospect of renewed Indian warfare;'
and there is plenty of other evidence to
the same effect 1t will, then, be piece
of unexpected good fortune if We 90 net
shortly find ourselves again involved in
one of those tedious and costly struggles
of which the Cherokee war was an exam
nile. and out of which, there is only one
thing to be gained. If begun on the right
principles, and conducted with energy It
NAV indeed bring US permanent peace,
which would be an object worth fighting
for. If on the contrary VIC allow our
selves to be goaded into war by mere feel !
ings of revenge or self-interest regardless
of right or wrong, and permit it to be
waged on the frontier theory that Indians
are wild beasts, destitute of souls, we will
not deny that peace may be obtained at
some distant day, but we will venture to
predict that it will be at The price OF IN
finite dishonor, and next to infinite cost.
