enne war had been concluded, at a
cost of thirty millions Of dollars, lie
wrote an official report saying that
if the Indians were to be dealt with
by policy of war, they ought TO be
under the War Department; but, if
the policy was peace, they should be
under the Department Of the Inte-
rior. Now he seems to have been
frightened out Of his wits by the
murder of Gen. Candy by a little
band of half-civilized and halfbreed
marauders and says that the War
Department should control the Indi-
an management; but Insists that of
ficers ''must be sheltered against the
howl of such as followed Major Ba-
ker after the Piegan attack, as also
Black Kettles camp" Sheltered,' y
indeed! Has Gen. Sherman forgot
ten how he denounced these attacks.
and how a Congressional committee
did the same? Canby's murder was
innocence itselfin comparison. Take
the Piegan case. A white trader
quarreleu with his Indian wife's rel
ative and was shot in the melee. We
have heard Of such things among
white folks. Gen. Baker was sent to
avenge the white mans death. The
tribe was suffering terribly from
smallpox. BY mistake Gen. Baker
struck the smallpox hospital, instead
of the main encampment Of the tribe,
which was twelve miles away, and
massacred the smallpox patients
men, women and children-and their
attendants. We were all Mortified
and perhaps "howled," and against
such "howl" Gen. Sherman to-day
wants future Gen. Bakers "shel-
tered The Black Kettle difficulty
was begun by the shooting of an IN
dian chief under Il flag Of truce. Gen.
Sherman said Of it in lSC7: 1T
scarcely has IFS parallel in the re-
cords Of Indian barbarity." The IN
dians were encamped under the di-
rectiOn Of our officers and supposed
themselves protected by our flag.
They were scalped, women were rip
ped open, children were dubbed and
their brains beaten out, and their
bodies so horribly mutilated that the
would not print part Of
the testimony. And it is such Gen.
Clusters whom Gen. Sherman then
condemned but would now "shel-
ter" We appeal from Sherman mad
to Sherman sober.

The sudden revolution in the gov
ernment of France takes almost every
one by surprise. The facility with
which changes are made in that
country, and seem likely to be in
Spain, reminds US Of the olden time
when the voice Of the people was the
only law and persons were accused,
tried, convicted and executed by
what is now called a mob. Only
there was no mob at Versailles,
change was made quietly and without
any disturbance of public order. If
the new president will be as firm and
faithful to the country and the Re
public as NJ. Theirs has been, well
will it be for France.

MAGAZINES.

Carl Benson in the Galqry, in an
article headed Casual Cogitations"
says that newspaper notices must
be either conventionalIy inspired or
brutally dogmatic." On whichever
side of this broad division we range
ourselves it cannot be very satisfying
to ones desire to be helpful to those
whose reading is limited (and whose
is not? in finding the subjects, the
authors, the periodical they most
want. This writer goes on to say Il
think that the newspaper notices of
magazines should be chiefly descnp-
tive and explanatory"
Some of the things he says are
very true but not very encouraging.

THE OTHER SIDE.

Below is an article giving some
thing Of the other side of the Indian
question. We hear great deal of
treachery, brutality, atrocity on one
side-we often forget to enquire into
the other. The criminal records of
our daily papers, even in our best
governed communities, might, if we
would think about it, prepare US to
believe that there is quite as much
Of all that is bad on the side of the
whites rs on that Of the Indians
with so much more of power both to
calTy out their designs and to ma
lign their opponents.

mind, In 1867, just after the Chey-

opens with "The Ascent of Mount
Hayden" a description of the "Won-
derland' the National Park and the
Yellow stone and its tributaries.
There are wonderful descriptions Of
wildneas and beauty-thrilling adj
venture and what seems to us in the
quiet Of home, hairbreadth escapes
from peril; some Of suffering too, as
people must suffer at times in explor-
ing strange countries. The iIIustra-
tions are enough to frighten one and
yet the story is Of places and scenes
one must long to visit. Life is too
short for US to see all the things so
we are glad to read of geysers and
fields of ice-wonderful ascents and
fearful chasms and the beauties of a
sort Of country as different from one
We know as if it were in a foreign

II is suggested that this commu-

and difficulties that result from these
injuries. 1t is hoped that
steps will soon be taken to put such
relief within the reach of all.

GENERAL DAVIS is awaiting REIN
forcements at the lava beds.
Following in the footsteps of the
illustious Gen. Mcclellan.

fT IS in the papers that the Con
stitutional Convention has voted to
each member a salary Of $500, by a
vote Of GO to A.
We hope this vote will be rcscinded
before the Convention dissolyes. Mr..
Cuyler, Of Philadelphia, it is said, re-
fused to vote, as he thought it was
unfair for
The city members, who were at no
extra expense and suffered no Interrupt
tion of their business, to fix a low figure
for those who gave up their business
and We're livir G at great expense during
the session Of the convention"
True; but the State should not be
obliged to pay for the injustice Of
those members who have attended to
their own business and left the Con
vention without a quorum so much
Of the time, thus making great loss
to those who have been faithful in
their attendance. The only right
way would be for these recreant
members to make up the deficiency
to the others. But we hope no one
who has been faithful to his duties
will be unfaithful now in taking more
than the original price.
