Sherman and the Indians.

WASHINGTON, June Son May
2Sth and a few days preceding, Gen.
Sherman was at Fort Sill, Indian Ter
ritOTy, and he gives an account Of the
capture OF some Indians engaged in
the late raid into Texas, in which
seven men were killed. A corn train
was plundered on Saturday, the 27th,
by q large party Of Indians, who
came in for their usual ratiOns, and
Santanta, a nOtOriOusly bad Indian,
not only admitted to the Indian agent
at Tantum that he headed the raid
into Texas, but bOasted Of it. Mr..
Jones brought them to Gener-
81 Sherman, at General Grier-
sons headquarters, where Santanta
again made the same admission,
varying in the details Of the story,
He begun to see that the deed was not
one to be proud of. General Sherman
told Tantum to say whether Santan-
ia should be arrested and shot, and
Tantum answered that he desi ed and
requested the arrest TO be Z Rd'. Ac

to General McKinzie to be taken back
to Texas and tried by the
civil authorities. The Indians
begged to be shot on the spot fearing
they would be lynched or mObbed,
which they dread terribly, which will
be prevented in any event. General
Sherman further demanded Of the

from the same train and on which dis
cussiOn the proposition was going on.
Lone Wolf made another demOnstra-
ton that almost resulted in a general
fight. One Indian was killed, sever
al shots were fired and the Indian
camps stampeded.
Sherman writes that in all these
cases the Indian agent has been con-
sidered, and is wishes have been his
rule Of conduct. He lays great stress
on the necessity for the trial and pun
ishment Of those who are arrested,
and says if they 60 back to their tribe

ESFABLISHED 1910.


1t seems that it is impossible to ef-
heet the consolidation Of the roads be-
tween Memphis and Norfolk. In
what consists the insuperable difi-
Guilty we are not advised. II seeLls,
however, that it is the purpose of
General Malone to extend the roads
he controls through Cumberland'Gap
to Louisville and st. Louis, and thus
the tide Of European travel viii pass
through Norfolk and Louisville to the
northwest, and the purposes Of those
who would augment the value
Of the Memphis and Charleston read
are again foiled. Meanwhile, Stan
tons Chattanooga and Meridian road
may become practically part and
parcel of lines leading from Bristol
through East Tennessee, and the
whole tide of travel from New York
TO New Orleans and Texas may be
diverted from the Memphis and
Charleston road. The detriment done
is incalculebly great. We must have
q consolidated road from the Missis-
sippi to the Atlantic, and the Mem
phi5 and Charleston road must find
direct route to Atlanta, Port Roy
al, and Savannah. It may be
possible, however, to effect ar
rlngements with roads leading
10 Norfolk, before the Bristol and
Louisville road is finished, by which
many anticipated evils may be OBJ
Waited, and many points proposed to
be attained by consolidation effected.
1t is hoped that Presidents Wicks and
Malone have at least accomplished
this great good for the companies they
represent. We learned yesterday,
however, that pending negotiations
looking to a consultations Of lines
had utterly failed Of their purpose.
In view Of these facts, the extension et
the Memphis and Paducah road TO
indianapolis becomes an indispens-
able public necessity.

POLITICAL.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, apropOs
of new departures" says: 1t has
been said that the Whig party in 1852
made their platform as near like the
Democratic as possible. They died
that year. That was their last ap-
pearance in politics."
The New York Times says: " If the
time should ever come when the great
body Of the women of America, or
even a respectable proportion Of
them, manifest a desire for the right
of suffrage, we venture to say they
will find little difficulty in obtaining
it."
Thomas Hughes opposes the bdis-
establishment Of the English Church,
and denies that any valid argument
for such action is found in the divorce
of Church and State in America. On
the contrary, he says that the United
States, just as any other nation that
has ever tried it, has failed in the at
tempt to reach an absolute separation
OF things secular and things holy. He
believes that of the two, the dOmina-
ton Of a national is preferable to that
of a sectarian church,
1t is said that President BaeZ, Of
st, Domingo, aided by arms from
New York, is making active prepars-
tiOns against the insurgent Cabral. 1t
is evidently the intention to settle
this latter gentleman's hash prior to
the assembling Of Congress, and then
one difficulty in the way Of anneXa-
ton, it is thought, will be at an end.
The removal of the seat Of govern
ment to Long Branch will enable the
President to superintend military OPP
eratiOns to all the greater advantage
for his Dominican partner.
All in the world that keeps Brown
low alive is his hatred of Andy john
son, and determination that the latter
shall never succeed him in the Senate.
And yet BrownlOW thinks well of
Johnson after all, and said of him the
other day what cannot be said as a
rule, we fear, of public men in gen
eraI, that he never used his official
position to make money, and was
honest above suspicion. This credit
is due to Southern statesmen more
than to any other class. The RepUb-
licans themselves admit it-that the
South is honest. This is a virtue
which, like charity, ought to cover a
great multitude of sins; but somehow
or other, the way the world goes just
now, it counts for little. Dishonest
partisanship pays better than honest
craftsmanship.

on the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern railroad, named Jones, fell
from a freight train this morning, be-

both legs torn of and his body man
gled. Hearing a passenger train ap-
preaching, aud being unable to leave
the track, he stabbed himself twenty
two times about the breast and left
arm, trying to reach his heart, but
was too weak to guide the blows. He
was taken up by the train and taken
to Madison, where he died soon after.
