lesson upon the subject, to wit:
"If Horace Greeley had rubbed uI

They are bothering themselves about
what is none of their business. We
have agreed to marry the girl, and to

That is Democratic to the hub. 1t is
SO seldom we find sober men of that
party telling just how it is that we feel
encouraged. No principle about it,
gentlemen; you politically don't deal
in that article. We congratulate you
on your honest confession. We hope
that you are married and that your
wives may be long-lived, especially, il
there be any pretty mulatto girls in
your neighberhood. Consistency will
never make bread and butter scarce
where you live.

The Massacre of Innocent Indians
in Arizona,

in Arizona.
The board of Indian commissioners
have just received the official report of
Lieutenant Whitman, Of.the3d cavalry.
concerning a late massacre of friendly
Indians in Arizona. In February FIVE
old women came to his camp. famisb-
ing and nearly naked. He fed them.
and they asked permission to return
with some Others and young warrior
who desired to be at peace. The latter
came, and after some negotiations.
came in with his whole tribe and was
assured OF protection and aid. All
were placed in designated camp, and
all the facts reported to Gen. Stoneman,
and instructions as tO feeding and treat
ing them asked for. All the reply
ever received from Stoneman's head
quarters, after long delay, was to re-
turn the report, without comment, eX-
cept TO call attention to the fact that it
had not been briefed exactly according
to the regulations. After two or three
months the number of Indians which
had come in, and We're living peacea-
bly,, constantly aiding in the work
about the fort by gathering hay, and
wood, and food for themselves as far as
possible, was $40. The officer in charge
gives the most satisfactory account of
the behavior of the Indians. of their
desire to keep the peace, and to con-
tribute as far as possible to their own
support. They were also active in ex-
erting, a good influence upon the In
dians in the vicinity. From first to
last they acted in good faith, and ex-
hibited great content and happiness
They were given to understand they
were under the protection of the gov
ernment, orders having reached Lieut..
Whitman, to extend such protection
and to encourage the Indians in all
proper ways. He had moved their
camp to higher grounds a little dis
tance from the fort for the purpose OF
health, and because water was more
abundant, and as he supposed had the
Indians satisfactorily established. On
the morning of the Both of April band
of citizens from Tucson, Arizona, with
out warning orprovocation of any kind,
surprised the peaceful camp and began
an indiscriminate butchery. OF 12j
killed or missing only eight were men.
Many were wounded, and the camp
entirely burned. Lieut.. Whitman had
succeeded in gathering some of the
band in again, and was trying to pro-
tect them. The matter was referred
by member of the board of commits
sioners to the war department, with a
request that some of these citizens
murderers of the Indians might be ar.
rested with something of the prompt
ness shown in the case of the Indian
Chief Santana and others, but the re.
quest did not meet with much encour.
agement. The president, however,
has indicated his purpose to have some
ofthe butchers arrested if the authori.
ties can find them. y

A wheeling suicide Rebukca.

FROM the N. I. World OF 18th.
The selfishness of suicides is getting
to be really disgusting. No other class OF
people exhibit such an utter want of
that consideration for the feelings OF
others" which has been defined to be
the essential characteristic of a gentle
man. 1t was only the other day that
a boor in Ohio abused the hospitality
Iof his sister-in-law by cutting his
throat in her best bed room. And
now comes a cooper in West Virginia
who hangs himself in the shop of his
employee, and leaves that unfortunate
mechanic note with this Injunction:
"CIean me up, and put::a suit of clean
clothes on me.0 A man who is too
much a sloven or sluggard to wash
and dress himself while alive, but
enough ofan egotist to impose upon his
neighbors the trouble of making him
look decent after he dead, deserves no
consid deration at all. These people
seem to consider that their desert to-
ward mankind in leaving it is so great
that they have a claim for all sorts OF
unreasonable services in consideration
of that boon. But at the rate they are
going their suicidal deaths will soon
come to be considered almost as great
calamity as the continuance Of theil
lives.

NEW YORK has had a season of re-
markable quietness since the riots of
the 18th inst. With the exception of
the mob's smashing everything that
looks like Hoffman, and swearing ven-
geance against at all coming elections,
all seems to indicate a triumph on the
part of the Orangemen. Col. Fisk of
the Ninth Regiment has made a con-
fession which chiefly consisted in
jumping board fences, dodging through
alleys and crawling in at windows to
get away from the rioters. Henry
Ward Beecher rejoices in the defeat OF
the Catholics by saying that the
Orangemen will be reprehensible il
they fail to march next year with all
their banners. Gov. Hoffman has been
highly complimented by Protestants in
general for his position on the riots, ,and
also much censured for his supposed
trickery in the whole affair.
