Tho Cheyenne Atrocities-A Suggestion.
The Indian horror that was enacted near
Fort Sill recently, when one hundred and fifty
Cheyennes captured q government train, kill
ing eight transfers and taking five others
prisoners, is replete with all the most cruel
elements of savage warfare. Two OF the cap
tives were tortured to death, having their
tongues cut out and their ears Topped of, and
then being burned at the stake. The three
remaining prisoners managed to escape during
drunken carousal of their guard and arrived
safely at Fort Leavenworth. They state that
there were a number of white men disguised
in the Indian band, and that they were as cruel
and vicious as the red men themselves, and
that two women, one of them beautiful girl
Of eighteen, were held as captives by the band.
These Cheyennes are the most vicious and
relentless enemies that the white settlers have
on the Plains They have defied the Indian
agents and the government authorities, refus-
ing to make any peace with them or even to
hold any council looking to terms of peace.
They have Indian duplicity and cunning
enough to keep very quiet when the weather
is unfavorable for their work of pillage or the
white cavalry is near their neighborhood in
unusual force; but they wage continuous
warfare upon defenceless settlers, and, when
they muster men enough, are bold and deter.
mined, even to the extent Of attacking armed
trains and cavalry. If we were ever
in state of war with any people
we are in state of war with these Cheyennes,
and in view of this latest atrocity heavy
force of cavalry should Immediately be sent
from the various forts north and south in the
Indian country in order to make an end Of
them while the weather is fit for campaigning.
1t is useless to pursue them with infantry, and
it is almost as useless to start after them with
only one body of cavalry. They can fly before
our heavy dragons as easily as before our
foot soldiers. But several bodies of cavalry
should be sent out to intercept them, to pen
them up ifpossible, so that they must surren-
der or fight. This is the only way to treat
with such determined barbarians as the
Cheyennes.

BILE experience in our political affairs and he is
a very popular man in Indiana. But his popu-
larity goes no further; for the elements of his
popularity are not known outside of Indiana.
Mr.. Pendleton, with General Mcclellan, has
been over the Presidential course and has
failed and neither of these two men will
answer for 1872 The same may be said of
all the hold-overs from the Convention of 1868,
excepting Chase and Hancock. We do not
exclude Governor Hoffman from the category,
for this Indiana hendricks movement is a
sign that the Western democracy are not pre-
pared to give New York the first place on their
Presidential ticket twice in regular succession
The West gave the candidate to New York in
1868, as with an understanding that he should
come from the West the next time. Chief
Justice Chase meets this condition, and is per-
haps the only man who may carry Ohio for the
democratic party in 1872. On the other hand,
if the Western democrats are resolved upon
settling in ~ the unsettled accounts of '6S
between Pendleton and Hendricks, they may
be compelled, as in 1868, to fall back upon New
York for their candidate, and thus compel
Governor Hoffman to go into the Presidential
battle at least four years in advance OF his
proper time. At all events, this Indiana nom
nation of Mr. Hendricks only adds another to
the present perpexities Of the democratic

The Famine and the Pestilence in Persia.
The dreadful plague which a few weeks ago
broke out in Persia is on the increase, and is
causing terrible havoc among the unfortunate
inhabitants of that plague-stricken land. The
English Consul at Tabrez announces to his
government that the details of the famine are
truly heartrending. AS if in confederation of
this melancholy intelligence, the kilograms
from Constantinople speak in as melancholy
tone. In the province Of Khorassan the
average death rate is three hundred daily,
and so great is the distress among the
people that the bodies of the dead are
devoured by the survivors. Worse still:
we are told that men, women and chill
dren are killed to feed the furnishing. A
more dreadful or more sickening picture OF
human misery it would be impossible
to conceive. A whole people rapidly wasting
away by famine and disease, and no human
power potent to arrest the progress of
their destruction. The Turkish government,
usually slow in the adoption of sanitary precau-
tions has become alarmed at the terrible
rayages across its borders, and has adopted
measures by which it expects to keep the dread
visitor from its own door. But of what avail
will a Gordon of troops along the borders Of
the Turksh dominions prove when the winds
that sweep the sandy plains of Khorassan may
carry into Turkey, as we'll as into the neigh
boring lands, the disease which will inevitably
follow in the track of this destructive famine
1t is only few days since the cable in
formed us that the cholera had broken out
in several districts in Poland. We do not
forget that when the cholera visited this
country in 1884 it had swept Europe, and
appeared here as if to spend its remaining
force. What terrible ravages it made is still
fresh in the minds Of many. The late war in
France has rendered that country fruitful
| field for the deadly operations of cholera,
| fortunate land. The late battle fields, with
| their halfcovered graves, will offer fair
opportunity for the disease to spread death
and misery all over the land. Once in France
what is to prevent it from being brought to this
country? We do not wish to create alarm, but
it is to be hoped that already the authorities
have taken the necessary steps to ascertain all
that can be learned regarding this terrible
plague which is now consuming Persia, threat
enng Europe, and which may at any day make
its appearance in some shape at our own doors.

ANDREW JOHNSON EXPECTED IN PARIS
Arrangements, so says the Atlantic cable, are
being made in Paris for the reception of
Andrew Johnson, ex-President of the United
States. Andrew is expected in Paris on an
early day. Why should it not be so? Andrew
Johnson is distinguished American. In a
trying period of our national history he was
prominent actor. On the future page of our
national history he is bound to be prominent
figure. We do not wonder that Americans in
Paris are anxiously awaiting his arrival. In
spite Of his early training Andrew is some
what of courtier. In gay and cultivated
Paris he will not be from home. His easy,
affable, gracious manner will win him friends
and do us no dishonor. In spite of ''my
policy" we rather like him, and wish him a
good time

comedian, had died in London. 1t appears.

second rate actor who played for some time
at the Olympic, London. "The" Mathews is

of the minstrels, she's looking as well and as
hearty as ever he did In his life."

INCREASE OF Our FOREIGN COMMERCE. 1t is
said that the report of the Bureau Of Statistics,
which is about TO be issued by the government
at Washington, will show that both the imports
and exports of this country had largely
increased 10 the eleven months ending May 81 +,
1871, over those of the corresponding period
last year. The increase of imports amounted
TO nearly seventy millions Of dollars and the
exports about the same. We would rather
have learned that the exports had vastly
increased and that the imports were not so
large. In the exports, we suppose, gold is
reckoned, and il is this continuous drain of
the precious metal to make up the balance Of
trade against us that keeps gold at premium
and prices Of everything higher than they
should be. But there is no cure for this. we
suppose, till the American people become less
extravagant or the country becomes so over
whelmingiy rich that nothing can disturb our
financial condition.

THE LATEST SYLLABUS from the Pope, if
our news be correct, is the most en-
phatic negation of the march of progress
which has ever been issued from the
Vatican The Holy Father lays claim
to supreme control over all the
Powers that be, and declares those Powers
forfeit which do not exactly chime in with the
Papacy. The address Of the professors of the
University Of Rome sets forth in plain terms
the utter inconsistency Of the Syla-
bus with the spirit of modern times.
1t must, however be confessed the
Popes reply softens down considerably the
tone of the Syllabus. In fact, the explana-
tons of the Holy Father are almost diametri-
cally opposed to the literal meaning of the
document. Let us hope that the Pope will
abide by his explanations and pigeon-hole the
Syllabus, where it may rest in oblivion.

The Presidential ProbIem-Who Shall Be
the Democratic Candidatcs


| The Democratic State Central Committee of
Indiana have spoken. They have proclaimed
| their candidate for the Presidential succession,
and his name is Hendricks. They have unani-
mously resolved ''that we recognize in Thomas
A. Hendricks the unanimous choice of the
the Presidency in 1872, and recommend that
every honorable effort be made by his fellow
citizens to secure his nomination and election. =
So much, then, for Indiana. But as the first
swallow does not introduce the summer, so
the first Presidential horse trotted out by the
democracy does not decide the question what
horse will run for the party against the sure
footed and long -wnded republican horse, Cen
eral Grant, in the four-mile race for the White
House sweepstakes in 1872.
This Indiana proclamation of the name of
Hendricks looks like a deliberate revival Of
the struggle in the Tammauy Convention OF
1868, which resulted, to the establishment OF
all concerned, in the nomination OF Horatlo
Seymour. 1.-THE Pendeton escort from Ohio
entered the Convention in Tammany Hall with
''drums beating and colors flying emblazoned
with the name of Pendleton. The men OF
Ohio, too backed up by nearly all the West
were jubilant in their hopes OF success, and
did not hesitate 10 bet on Pendleton against
the field II is probable, too, that but for
that terrible ordeal through which a demo-
cratic Presidential aspirant has to pass, that
awful two thirds rule Of the nominating con-
vention-but for that difficulty we think Mr..
Pendeton would have carried the day. On

little beggar girl who bought penny's
worth of snuff. "Thank you, my dear,

millionaire. Some years ago, a dry goods
salesman in London shop had acquired
such reputation for courtesy and ex-
haustless patience that it was said to be
impossible to provoke from him any ex-
preston of lrrita bility, Or the smallest
symptom of vexation. A lady of rank,
hearing of his wondrous equanim1ty,
determined to put it to the Test by all the
annoyances with which "a veteran shop
visitor knows how to tease shopman.
She failed in the attempt, and thereupon
set him up in business. He rose TO emf

handspring of his later, as of his early
career, was politeness. It IS related Of
Mr.. Butler of Providence R. l., that he
was so obliglng as to re open his store one

a spool OF thread which she wanted. The

run of custom, and he died million
