political shades, except a real scalawag,
(so we are told,) it remained for the grand
sachem of Virginia, Governor Walker
who, while surrounded by New Workers, ,acas
born in New York and wasn't boss either
to bring political matters into the circle, to
disturb it. We presume he imagined he
was achieving a great victory, when on an
occasion like this one, he could charge the
American Congress with deliberately de-
ceiving the American people, and declar-
ing that no Ku-Klux organization existed.
If he was not in land of peace and
should ever show himself, where the band
does exist and they ascertained that he was
ever in the least manner connected with
the Hon. Benjamin Butler, he would soon
find out whether he or Congress was de-
ceived.
We have given as correct an account as
we can of the proceedings yesterday, having
been confined to our room by indisposition,
and engaged in entertaining several Demo-
Gratis of the party consequently we We're
not able to Join in the proceedings with
the rest of our brothers of the press. They
will please accept our regrets. (So we are
informed.)

For the honor of the service, we rejoice
that the annual Indian massacre of this
year was not committed by the army.
Another Piegan massacre would have dis.
graced the troops irretrievably, and it is
some sad satisfaction to know that the
slaughter of the Apaches of Arizona was
accomplished in spite of the exertions of
the soldiers there. The painful facts.re-
veal that the perpetrators flor the Indians
made no resistance-indeed, their camp
was one of women and children mainly,
were settlers. The Indians appear to have
been peacefully disposed, and, having no
reservations, were Ia camp under the pro-
lection of United States troops. A body of
citizens, organized for the purpose, surprised
the camp and murdered sixty-three of tie
Indians, fifty-five being women and child
rem. OF course, nothing will be done
about this. There is no punishment which,
in the condition Of society and state ol
public feeling in that distant region, can
be inflicted This is deplorable state Of
things, for which we would gladly find a
remedy but, meantime, is it not impera-
tive that the government should double its
vigilance for the protection of the Indians
The military force seems to have been
willing enough, but too weak, to protect
the poor wretches who had trusted to the
promises and the guardianship of their
camp. We urge upon the government the
prompt strengthening of the forces in
Arizona for the ample protection of these
poor wards of the nation.

Samuel Ruth, Esq, collector of internal
revenue for this district, regret to say, is
lying very i'll at his residence in this city.
His numerous friends earnestly hope for
his speedy recovery.
The impromptu gathering at Poplar
Grove National cemetery, last Tuesday,
was so successful that it was determined to
form permanent organization, and have
the memorial day observed hereafter with
more care in the preparation and more
formaity in the exercises.
Speaking OF that cemetery, must say
| was grieved to notice the slovenly man
ner in which these sacred grounds are kept.
The walks are overgrown with weeds, the
grass upon the graves uncut, and the whole
presenting an appearance of neglect.
This matter was the subject of universal
comment by the large crowd of visitors.
do not know who has the charge Of these
grounds, but who ever he may be, he
ought to be required to attend to his du-
