THE CHEYENNE SLAUGHTER.

The slaughter of the fleeing Cheycnnes,
and the cruetics that drove the poor
wrctches to that desperate cXpedicnt, are
matters that call for the most rigorous in
vestigation. General Crook has organized
military committee Of investigation at
Fort Robinson; but the general public will
not accept the results that will be
reached by that committee as satisfactory
The reputation OF the army is more or less
involved, and the army itself is not, there.

The plague that is raging in Astrachan,
and across the borders, in Russia, is cxcit-
ing considerable alarm throughout all Rus
sia Prussia and northeastern Asia, In the val
ley of the river Volga it is most malignant,
and is working terrible havoc with those
who are unable to reach places Of security.
That its presence is ascrbablc to the dead
fish that line the banks of the Volga, has
been contradictcd. In speaking Of the dis

REPUBLICAN newspapers are quite unani-
nous in the declaration that General
Grant "shrinks' from the mere idea OF
another term in the White House. EXScc-
rotary Fish is very sure that the General
doesn't want to run again, and will not
consent unless he sees that the demand is
universal. and not confined to those who
proftcd by his former service. To employ
slangy phrase, all this is entirely "too
thin 1t is transparent 70 any man with
even haitian eye. Grant has never, since
he first entered the white house, ceased
wanting to run again, for single moment,
and all his protcstations to the contrary
were the mercst Donna Juli0isms. His
itching for third term developed itself
Enthusiastically about the middle of his sec
ond term, and had the cnormitics Of his
southern policy and whiskyriugism not
driven from his support, certain elements
that were thought essential to his election,
Grant and not Hayes would have been the
nominee of the Cincinnati convention. But
failing there, his European tour was de-
cidcd upon as bic move toward the candi-
dacy in 1880. The moment he reached
the other side, his claQucrs
here, raised the cry that
nobody but Grant can save the country in
1880. Correspondents in his own gang,
magnifed the attentions paid to him, and,
while Grant was lying drunk in some hotel
in Paris or Berlin, our nnocents at home
were made to believe that he was diligently
studying the intricacics and operation of
the varied forms adopted by the nations of
Europe The PEOPLE of this country have
had no part whatever, in giving Grants
name a prominence in connection with Il
third term That work has been performed
wholly and solely by paid correspondents
of Republican papers; and by designing
trickstcrs who will he abundantly provided
for should their scheme prove successful
The people have had nothing to do with
the matter for the reason stated by the st
Louis Republican, because they have had
enough of him and his already. 1t was, as
we have stated, the Republican schemers,
the bummers and boomers who took charge
of the Grant machine, and they have worked
it with considerable effect. They are ably
assisted by the man who "does not.want to
run again, and who arranges and changes
his programme of travel in accordance with
instructions from them. For one who "ha,
no connection" with the plans and pur
poses Of his tools, his proceedings are Curl
ously adapted to these plans and purposes
and when the proper time comes the icon
nection' will be visible to the dulest eve
In other words, there are few things thai
remain for future development, more Ger
tain than Grants nomination in 1880.

THE Democratic party should at once
put itself on record as opposed to the pay
ment of one dollar Of the so-callcd rebel
claims. Of the three hundred millions of
dollars that have been Matched out, and are
now filed against the government, more than
Two hundred and sixty millions are owned
by loyal Southern Republicans, who never,
in all their lives, did anything else but
love the flag and pray for the perpetuity of
the Union. But this fact cuts no figure in
the case. To present these claims was
piece of brazen presumption that should
have been frowned down at the start. The
mere idea of paying for southern homes
that were battered down by Federal cannon
or for southern cotton that was burned as a
means for destroying the enemy's sinews of
war, is simply preposterous; and the appli-
cation for remuneration would have been
made in no other country in the world, As
leading Southern men, like llill of Georgia,
and Lamar, of Mississippi, have put them
selves on record as opposed to the payment
of such claims, and Northern Democrats
a'c unanimous in their opposition. then
why delay action that will place the
party right before the country. There is no
occasion for a constitutional amendment.
Public sentiment Is stronger than
laws or constitutions, and public SEN
timent is against the payment Of any of
these rebel claims Fivc.sixths Of all the
Democrats of the country are in accord
With that sentiment, Why then do our
representatives in Congress hesitate to place
the party right on this question! Neglect
TO do so has furnished the Republican party
a bludgeon with which they hav, bclabored
us with telling effect. Let us talk as we
think; act as we feel, and we viii disarm
the enemy of is most effective weapon.
