THE NOBLE RED MAN AGAIN.

What a commentary upon the mawkish
mischieyous sentimentality INDUCED in
by so many in the East and upon the
Quaker policy of managing the Indians,
unfortunate little waits, ha0'~;aA and
Julia German. The telegraph tells US
that these two little girls, aged five and
seven years, are the sole survivors OF
large family, who were emigrating from
Georgia to Colorado. While crossing
the plains of Western Kansas, the party
was attacked, and all its members
we're butchered, with the exception OF
four young girls, two of whom have been
recovered, and the others, if living, en-
during worse fate than death. Now, as
We are not pro!essed philantrophists,
it would seem to us that the band OF saw
ages who committed this atrocity ought
to be exterminated. Not one OF the
males ought to be allowed to escape.
They should be taught q lesson similar
to that which was administered to the
Piegans. They had for years been
troublesome, murderous. crew, and had
grown bold in their bloody deeds, but an
exemplary chastisement was dealt out to
them that they will never forget, ane
since that time, those who were left o
them have managed 20 behave them
selves. At the time that this salutary
punishment had been administered,
there was fearful howl made. Every
"Stiggins' in the country was bowling
at the unexampled, unmerited cruelty.
ETC., etc. An investigation was ordered
and the commander Of the expedition
fully exonerated from all charges, except
in the mind of Vincent Colyer and his
stripe. Then turn to the Modoc war
1t was only the other day when a moon
struck fanatic got up in q public meeting
at Boston and defended them. Yet every
few weeks the public is startled by some
atrocious deeds committed by herd OF
these bloodthirsty savages. Take the
case we have mentioned in the opening
Of this artice, and we find numerous
family butchered, while four hopeless
girls are made captive, destined for fate
comparable to which death would be {
mercy. But this frightful atrocity passes
without word from these professions
philanthropists. Several of their fellow
citizens are massacred with ~" "iSh""f"s
v.uelues that are the favorite amuse-
ments of the savage fends into whose
hands they had fallen. Girls of tender
age are condemned to fate so
revolving that 1t may be family inn
agined. but not doseiiIeu, uut that
is all nothing. The v'"'!- ",'o "A''
49, savleu tide of Indian blood did not
flow in their veins, consequently when
they are murdered nothing is said about
ii; but if they had been Indians the
whole country would have been stunned
with the groanings Of these hypocritical
wrong headed fools. But there is some
hope of amendment in these matters
The egregious wicked folly of these peace
policy idiots has been thoroughly dem
onstrated, at the cost Of hundreds Of
lives, and there is some prospect of the
control of Indian affairs being placed
with the War Department, from which il
never ought to have been removed. The
thanks of the country are due to General
Sheridan for the efficient manner in
which he ia copduntipu tho campaipn
and it is to be hoped he will inflict a
summary punishment on the horde OF
wretches with whom the girls were found
to be captive.
