Protest Against Logan'S Army Bill.

A Captain in the army, who acted wisely in
 writing above fictitious name, writes to tho
 N r, Herald, and in the most pitiful m an-
 ner procIaims against Congress for threaten
 ing to reduce the army, since such measure
 will probably oust himself from his nice, easy
 billet, and compel him to depend for living
 upon his own exertions What g gallant
 soldier he must be! What prote ction to it's
 country must be the hard which trembles at
 the bare idea of being obliged to depend upon
 itself for support Hear him plead for office, see him shrink from honest conpetitio
 with his fellow man Read his words: i
 "Tbere are to day many anxious hearts all over the country, wearying many 8 freside. to know what is to be the fate of those vho periled life and limb in the great strife. and which many supposed grateful people would never forget. Whether it is to go forth that they are to enter upon a new life of competi- tou for their br ead after many years of for 1 getfulness of anything like "competition in trade, or to ren ain servants of the govern nent they helped to save aRd IF ake what it io to-day, is the question.

The person who caught up the idea tha t Congress had yielded to tho solicitation of our Delegate and Governor and agreed to send more troops to Arizona and who declared tha t in consequence of two thieving redskins hay ing been killed last week the promised aid would be likely to be withheld, and who stated that he was "posted' on the matter and knew better than the majority of men, and who made himself generally ridiculous, one night last week, by speaking uopn subjects, which he had never taken the trouble to study up, may gain little information from the following, clip ped from the Eko Independent:-
 Governor Stafford, of Arizona, passed west, on his way home to the land of the ApacheG and the cactus, on Sunday last He looks csreworn. and says that he has had rough time in Washington in his attempt to secure Government aid to rid his Territory of the marauding bands of Indians, who murder his people on every hand and retard emigration to & country rich Tn mineral and agricultura wealth. While his expectations have not been entirely realized, be has succeeded in procur- ing 750 stands of arms to arm bis people with. lie is thoroughly disguGted with his treatment at the capital, and returns to fight it out in Arizona on his own lire, feeling confident that the people ofhis Territory will eventually be able to exterminate the Indians on their own nook.

STILL THEY HOW'LL


 The following is what the Boston Herald
 thinks, or rather Cha. it wishes the whole
 world to believe it thinks of the Piegan Mas
 sacre:--
 The document sent to the House of Repre-
 sentatVes the other day about the recent mas
 sacre of the Piegan Indians, shows bad state ofthlngs on the border. In this particular case t5e Indians were dying of smail-pox at the ra:e ot SIX day and of the IFS killed only if- teen were hghtinmnen, the remainder being women and children. We fall to see any promise of glory orsecurity in such a warfare. Il weare to turn sayages ourselves the massacre of women and chi.sren may be in the direct llne, but if the Indians are to be treated as wards of a civilized nation it would be better to observe our treaties with them and keep white men away from their reservations The mii- tary authorities say that they are uuableto keep white men away from the reservations, and the Indians complain bitterly of broken promises. In Wyoming band of white men are prepar- ing to move into the Big Horn region to pros- pect for mines, though the country is reserved to the Indians by solemn treaties Similar expeditions have been sent out in Colorado, New Mexico and Hansas. The meE in these bands shoot down Indians as freely as game. and the Indians retaliate like savages that they are. Then the soldiers are showed forW ard and women and children are murdered in cold 1 blood. It is disgrace to our oasted civili- | zation and Congress is responsible for these | horrible barbarities while it allows them to be | practiced,'
 The following is an editorial from the M y. Herald containing few facts regarding this massacre. The opinion of Gen Do Tro5riand, therein set forth should, we think, be seriously when Congrts g. undertakeEto uvesti- gate the affair. The idea of court.martial is oo absurd to be entertained. The man cer. aiDly merits promotion. The Late Massacre of the Piegar Indi, I ms, with the disclosure of its atrocities, has t rought cut General Sherman in a statement harging the responsibility upon General uIY notwithstanding Sully's denuncia- 2 ions of the horrible affair. The facts. briefly t tated, appear to be these;-Gsneral Sheridan, n l military charge of all that Northwestern ', egicn to the Rocky Mountains, suggested to general Sherman thatit would be a good thing , bounce upon and strike" some of those al oStile Biaekfeet gangs in their winter ouar ii ITS; that General Sally seconded the propo- f. ton, that General Sherman approved .L lis suggestion; that Colonel Baker according. 'n waa detailed with strong force against the tn iegans in their winter encampmene and that tit ithout much dissemination in favor of age. ac x or condition he made fearful slaughter .. the Piegsn encampment, men, women and liidren. General De Trobriand, also in con- sl and out there, thinks that this affair entities in olonel Baker to promotion. We think, if st, Q facts are as reported that this shocking ,b assacre calls for court martial by order of e President and an investigation by order of orr ,ngress." hii
