FIGHTING INDIANS.


Following close upon the terrible massa-

Sioux, comes a runor that Gen. Crook

Is, that even such experienced border fighters

tiles OF the Sioux. The Indians have 81 long
been held in contempt by the whites that
the latter have grown careless and have actu-
ally adopted IA truth the western saying that
'one white man is as good as ten Indians"
There are weeping widows aud sorrowing
children IN that frontier outpost to day who
can testify that the white mans boast is Il
lie. The country might Us well understand
this matter The Indians are rs well armed
as our own troops; they are expert in the
use of weapons; they fight in their own way,
not in line of battle, but as the Arabs fight,
in living squads, difficult to bring into direct
conflict but requiring constant watchtuness
to prevent the destruction Of troops who are
KEPT in line and offer fair mark for the
bullets of their savage foes ; they are superb
horsemen and their small but fleet ponies are
more than match for the heavier horses OF
the cavalry; they know the country perfectly,
every foot OF ground having been traversed
by them in hunting or in fighting These
are facts and not even the assurances OF
Sheridan, comfortably secure at Chicago
hundreds of miles away, that everything is
lovely" will quiet the apprehensions ofntel-
ligent men. Sheridan thinks there Is no
need of volunteers and that the force of reg
uars now or shortly to be on the scene OF
action will be found sufficient to cope with
the Indians. Perhaps 50, but the people de-
mand that this war shall be short, sharp and
decisive. They will not be satisfied to have
operations prolonged ana hundreds of lives
and thousands in money wasted to gain now
and then an advantage 1t would cost less
in blood and money to send large force at
once and crush out this outbreak than to fill
up depleted ranks and dawdle along until
want of ammunition compelled the Indians
to seek the agencies and profess friendship
Until they had retilled their powder horns
and replaced their duled scalping knives by
sharper and stronger ones.
The Indians have been shamefully treated
there is no doubt of that--but what is done
is done and cannot now afford an excuse for
the murder Of white men. This business Of
slaughter and mutilation must be- stopped
and if it is not done speedily there will soon
arise such an universal burst of Indignation
from the people that even Piegan Phil may
prick his ears and call for volunteers to aid
his regulars.

DELEGATE ELECTION.

Tomorrow Saturday is the day for the
election Of delegates to the county conven-
ton which meets on Tuesday afternoon next.
1t is important that there should be full
'ote, as the delegates are obliged Ia act ac-
corling to their Instructions, aud every
township should therefore poll every vote in
order that the delegates may represent the
majority; and not simply those who may
choose to vote because it is convenient
Another reason for full turn out is that the
precedent has been established by which in
case of tie vote in Convention for any Office
the person who has received the largest pop
ular vote shall be declared the nominee.
The several candidates will undoubtedly do
all they can to get every man to the polls,
but il is the duty of members of the stand
ing Committee in the several townships and
of every Democrat who has the interest of
the party at heart, to assist in this. For the
information of voters we reprint instructions
concerning the use of the tickets. Write

Tilden and Hendricks.

Both these distinguished gentlemen are
now at Saratoga, and it is stated that their
letters of acceptance will be published next
week.
In contradiction of many statements it is
positively asserted, upon the best authority,
that there has really never been any serious
difference of opinion between Tilden and
Hendricks upon any question involved in
the campaign, and that the delay in the APP
pearance of Governor Tilden's letter of ac.
ceptauce is wholly due to the fact that the
governor has been so pressed with other
official business that he has not had an OPP
portunity until recently to give the atten-
tion to his letter which 50 important u doc
ument demanded
Governor Hendricks speaks not simply
hopefully, but very confidently, of the sue
cess of the national democratic ticket il
November. He thinks Governor Tilden il
80, 900 stronger in New York for Presiden
than he was for Governor. He has no fear
of the result in Indiana, believing tina

Grant Ought to Explain.

We are among those who believe that
President Grant ought to explain to this
Christian nation why he has pardoned seven
gauger convicted of using their official
powers to aid in delrauding the revenue Of
the United States. We expressed, two weeks
ago, a fear that the whisky men would
soon be back in power The pardoning OF
seven oince holders, convicted by juries Of
delraudhg the revenue, looks very badly to
US; and there are ntimaLions t. at the rest
OF Mr.. BrisIow's Jail birds will soon be CIV
en- tree wings. The least prejudiced obser'
1ers will inyoluutarily think ofthe charge
that campaign funds came in 1872 from the
whisky ring, and ask hard questions.

BELKNAP ACQUITTED.

On Tuesday last the vote was taken on
the articles of impeachment of ex-Secretary
of War BeIknap and resulted in his acquit-
tai, the requisite two thirds not voting for
conviction. Twenty five Senators voted
steadily for acquittal. The verdict will not
greatly surprise the country. The Repub-
lican party OH the eve OF presidential cam
paign has load enough to carry without
having to stagger under the weight of con-
victed cabinet officer. The interest in the
trial has long since died, but Belknap is as
eifec ually disposed of, so far as public opin-
ion is concerned, as if he had been declared
guilty. There is but one point in this ver-
dict of the Senate which is of real impor-
tance. 1t was not denied on the trial that
Belknap received money from Marsh, on
account OF the post leadership held by the
latter but the plea was made by Hou j. 5.
Black, one of his counsel, that in 50 doing he
only followed the precedents established by
his predecessors in office. The Senate have
acquiesced in this opinion and We may now
understand that the Senate of the United
States do not esteem bribery a crime pro.
vided it can be shown that other men in
similar positions have taken money in re-
turn for the gift of official positions. This
is truly monstrous doctrine-too mon
strous for belief were it not that the records
of the trial and the argument of counsel
amply prove it, Absolutely there has been
nothing done in Washington since the close
of the war which evidences lower standard
OF morality among our public men than this
frightful decision in Belknap's case. There
will no doubt be specious arguments by the
Senators who voted against conviction to
prove that their votes were cast from high
and conscientious motives, but the awkward
fact still remains that Beknap taall intents
and purposes pleaded guilty auH relied for
his defense solely on the extraordinary ex-
cuse that his predecessors had done the same.
If the honor and dignity of the Senate has
fallen so low as this, we may well pause
aghast. The acquittal of Beknap amounts
to nothing and had the evidence brought
out on his trial proved him innocent would
not have caused ripple of excitement, but
he was not innocent and has been set free
although scoundrel because, forsooth, 9th
er men had been scoundrels before him and
all this to help Hayes, the candidate of that
eminent reformer Carl Schurz.

The course now being pursued by the

to those who have heretofore regarded that
journal as consistent if nothing more. One
days edition contains a savage attack on
Grants admir- istration and the next day
there appears a article laudatory of Hayes.
As the men who are running Hayes are
Grants advisers and friends it is u little diff
