The Washington Chronicle speaking Of the
recent massacre of number Of Modoc Indian
prisoners, says THE act was so atrocious in
its character that the parties participating in it
will hardly be able to find justification for it
from any source whatever. However revolving
may have been the outrages committed by the
Indians, it can afford no apology for this butch
cry of helpless prisoners of war, and the attempt
to murder women and children. While prompt
and rigorous justice should be melted out to the
Indians who have been guilty of crime, the
same measure of punishment should be infict-
ed on the men guilty of this outrage and viola
ton of the usage of war and civilization.

"Will You Walk into my Parlor?'

The New York Express publishes the follow
ing, which it follows up with most appropriate
comments:
''Gov. Moses, of South Carolina. graduate
of the carpet-bag school, thus discourses. He
and as his beau ideal instances South Carolina,
in the following terms:
"You have entered upon the sixth session OF
the General Assembly since the establishment
of free government in South Carolina"
<~ "Gov. Moses proceeds to euumerate the fruits
which carpet-bag scalawag free government
has brought to the people:
yet the face Of the emigrant is turned away
from our State, and capital, which sets labor in
motion and creates the manufactures which
contribute to the comfort and elevation of man,
shri,ks back from us as If the seals of pestilence
s0ere broken and the vials emptied out upon thas
beautiful land of ours. Hence nearly THREE
FOURTHs of our cast territorial area, contain
ing not less than thirty SIC thousand square
mile, he fdlloao to-day"
Now this is faithful description of the feast
to which Radicalism invites the people Of Vir-
GINA. A painting executed by master artist
could not more faithfully portray an object in
nature, than these few words describe the con-
dition of any Southern Commonwealth, which
may be so luckless as to fall into the hands OF
the semi barbarous of -scourings Of its popula
ton, led by carpet-bag thieves and irresponsi-
bic adventurers.
1t is hardly probable that the good people OF
Virginia will walk into this parlor," to which
they are so cooingly invited by the Radical
spider.
