Our morning dispatches announce
another disgraoeful massacre Of Fed
eral troops by the Indians. Gen. Glib
bon's command was overwh elmed on
the Big Hole river by the Nez Perces,
half OF his forces slaughtered, and all
his ammunition and baggage train cap
tured. This thing has grown to be a
national disgrace. and there is but one
way In which the government can save
itself from the ignominy it has incur
red, and that is by visiting a terrible
vengeance on these savages. It is folly
10 ignore the fact that they are good
fighters.
There is one Of two things for the gov
eminent to do, either to send enough
soldiers, under competent aud expert
enced officers, to run down these Indi-
ans, or else turn over the whole matter
to volunteers who know their mode of
warfare and can fight them according to
their own tactics. 10 let Joseph escape
as Sitting Bull did will be an everlasting
disgrace. But this he surely will do so
long as that miserable old fraud, How

SECRETARY THOMPSON'S JOB.

The Secretary of the Navy declares 1T
to be his determination to build ships
as cheaply in the navy yards as they
can be built by private builders. Mr..
Thompson has the reputation of being
man of splendid good common sense,
and it Is to be supposed that he appre-
ciates the difficulties that lie in the way
of such purpose. If he succeeds he
will certainly have accomplished the
most extraordinary practical reform
that. has as yet been contemplated, even
by this reforming administration. To
begin with, the multiplicity of duties
and departments that have to be looked
after by the Secretary Of the Navy will
prevent his giving that close attention
to the construction of vessels that
private builder would bestow.
And, then, government workmen are
not pushed constantly in order to get as
much work out Of them as possible for
their wages, as those are that are en-
ployed in private yards. tits also no.
torious fact that the government not
only uses the costliest material, and in
the most wasteful way, but also that it
has to pay the most extravagant prices
for it. Besides all these plain and
practical reasons why the government
cannot possibly build ships, or do any
other such work, as cheaply as private
persons who devote their entire time
and attention to their vocations, there
Is no moral code recognized in any civ
ilized land that does not admit Of a
M oral reservation in all dealings in
a mercantile way with government.
But, when all these considerations
have been carefully weighed and pro-
vided against, then comes the worst Of
political pensioners, such num-
bers Of whom the navy yards have
always taken care of. These must be
turned out on the cold charities Of the
world, and this would be in many in
stances an ineffable outrage that would
surely lead to strike. There are men
in these yards that have lived on the
government for years without striking
a lick of work. Shall these old and
reliable barnacles be turned out to
starve in their old days?
Secretary Thompson. do you, can you
appreciate the enormity Of the job you
are putting up for yourself?

We publish this morning the report
of Major Upper, chairman Of the Lou
isiana delegation to the recent postal
convention at Old Point Comfort. and
also an interview had with him by
DEMOCRAT reporter. The suggestions
made in the report are all eminently
practical, and should be acted upon
without delay, as the matters involved
are of incalculable importance to our
State and section. All that remains to
be done Is to obtain the necessary in
formation upon which to secure the
proper legislation at the next session
Of Congress, re-establishing old routes
and establishing new. and doing what
ever else may be necessary to secure an
efficient and satisfactory postal service
throughout the Southern States. This
can best be done by addressing letters
to the officials Of the various parishes,
asking them to establish committees,
or perhaps even a better idea would be
to bring the matter in non-o official way
to the attention Of the grand juries,
with the request that they act in concert
with a committee in this city.
The Importance Of ample mail facili-
ties cannot be overestimated, and it
seems to be the earnest purpose to afford
us this. The immense advantage the
Northern people have enjoy ed in this
respect over US of the South during the
past years is a sad commentary on our
Misrepresentation in Congress. The
people were even unaware that such
great partiality was being shown, and
our Congressman Of either party seem
to have been quite as ignorant as they,
or else they have been very careless of
the interests of their constituencies.
