INDICTMENT OF GEN. SHERIDAN.

ANDASA"ANA OE VLNs SHEASkDANs
The Chicago Times states that it has re-
liable information from its special cores
pondent at Springfield, H., that Gov. Pal
mer has issued positive instructions to At
torney-General Bushnell to procure the in
dictment of Lieut.. Gen. P. II. Sheridan, of
the United States army, Col. F. T. Sherman,
and others who were engaged in the riotous
proceedings which led to the murder OF Col.
Thomas W. Grosvenor, Immediately sue
ceeding the great fire in Chicago. The
Times says:
This Information will be received in Chi
cago with that universal satisfaction which
could only be suggested by sense of out
rage in the past and hope of safety in the
future. The assassination of Col. Grosvenor
"a citizen whose violent death would have
OccasiOned dismay at any time-was agra
waited by the circumstances that it was
directed by men in high position, and
occurred at time when any infringement
upon law and order was precedent
that might easily lead to bloodshed
| and pillage. Col. Grosvenor was shot
| dead, while returning quietly to his
own home in a peaceful community, BY a
boy who was one of an armed gang, organ
| lied without the shadow of authority, and
yet directed by Gen. Sheridan, Mayor
Mason, the bogus Sherman, and others to
shoot down any man who refused to halt at
the word of command. The prevailing
sentiment of the occasion was almost vim
diCtive in demanding that the actual assasS-
ins-the men who organized and command
ed the young and willing ruffians in their
murderous missiOn-Should be made
answerable before tribunal of justice for
this crime against society, humanity,
and God. Il has been left for Gov.
Palmer to prove himself equal to
the duty of the hour, and to rise superior to
every consideration of title or position that
could be used as a cloak for the crime that
has been committed.
at was only Gov. Palmer's good sense
and determined action that, at last, put a
stop to the reign of terror. 1t is to the
same good citizen and prompt executive
that the public will owe proper investiga-
ton of the criminal proceedings. The men
who are chiefly guilty are Sheridan, Mason,
and Sherman. Such others should be in
cluded in the indictment as the Attorney
NCllSldl anu 1OLtlC dIlo4iitl LidS flAltl "
have been directly implicated in the incite-
ment and organization of the armed mob"
1t is possible that Col. Grosvenor is not
the only man who was murdered while
quietly passing along the streets. Accounts
of the great fire and its incidents made men,
ton Of the shooting down by this armed
mob under Sheridan of two or three citi-
zens under circumstances which showed
conclusively that they were innocent of any
intention to commit wrong. If the murder
Of Col. GrosvenOr is to be avenged, that of
the other citizens, however lowly they may
have been, should also be looked into.

justifies the means Hence IL is the head
of this party, the President, does not hest
| tate to send the army to New York and
| elsewhere at the North, to this State, Texas
and all over the South, in violation of the
letter and spirit OF the constitution, to con-
troll the elections and prepare the way for
his and his party's continued ascendency
and his own election. Hence, too, we find
him for like purposes supending the writ of
habeas corpus in time of profound peace,
arTesting the citizen without warrant or
lawful authority, but only by lawless
force. Hence, too, we find this party
In Congress avowedly, and in the
most riotous manner, passing laws at
| one time to Gust jurisdiction of the Su-
preme Court of the Union, to prevent that
great tribunal from declaring its acts and
assaults on the constitution demonstrations
al and void; at another time passing a SIM
liar law TO pack that court with partisans
to alter solemn decision already made,
but distasteful to this higher law party.
Hence, too, hundreds of other similar acts
done by this party illustrate the principles,
policy and practices which we have attribu-
ted TO it, and which, if not arrested and
suppressed must result in the absolute over

framed and handed down to us by Wash
ington and his compatriOts. That such a
party has been allowed to spring up on
American soil is monstrous and alarming"
The address concludes as follows:
ssThere is but one other political party
in the country--that is the National Demo-
cratic party. In our Judgment it is the
patriotic duty of every lover of liberty and
free government to cooperate with that
great and powerful party to arrest the ire
mendous evils to which we have adverted,
and which will, sooner or later, if not sup
pressed, destroy freedom and establish DIES
potism and the sword. To accomplish this
great measure of reform in our State and
National governments we cordially invite
the jealous cooperation of every patriot,
without regard to his hitherto party affilia-
tions. We stand in determined opposition
to the crimes and evils to which we have
briefly directed public attention, and we ask
all good people to stand with us, trusting
that such common patriotic effort, through
the blessing of God, may save us and our
country from impending danger and ruin

the sum of fifty cents on the 500 worth Of
taxable property fixed as the rate of taxa

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1871.

The awful calamity at Chicago, so great in
extent, so destructive in the loss of property,
land, it is feared of life,) so sudden, so crush
ing, has excited the profound sympathy of the
public in all sections of our country. 1t is
rarely that we read of such disaster having
befallen any city in the world And then, too,
this was one of the largest, wealthiest, and
most fourshing places on the continent-but
few years ago, an inconsiderable village.
Immense buildings for commercial and manu-:
featuring splendid public edifces-
the most costly churches elegant mansions,
lined its streets-now, all gone heap Of ruins!
TO one visiting Chicago now, after having seen
it week ago, it must seem disturbed dream !!
Chicago was the type of American material
prosperity and enterprise-with all its faults
and evils But we have no doubt, such is tho
energy of the people, and the advantages OF
its location, that it will again. in time, rise from
its ashes, and flourish once more.
