The Latest Indian Massacre.

Tho Senate Of the United States has taken
notice, not n day too soon, OF tho recent
butchery OF Indians by United States troops
in the State Of Nebraska. Yesterday it
ordered its Committee on Indian Affairs to
find out all they can about the affair, and
report. The credit for this belongs to Sena-
tor DAS VOORHEES, Of Indiana.
The hideous story from Fort Robinson
has startled the country into n momcntary
sense Of the enormitics that are being per-
petratcd In its name. Well it may. Where
is there more thrilling page than that
which tells OF the desperate rush OF these
savagcs, as we call them, for liberty? That
they had been lied 10 and cheated need not

of the Indian policy Of this civilized Gov

II was said that tho enthusiasm and rivalry OF

ideas has been twice sadly proved this month
by tho death Of IRvISG in vcscy street and Of

Tho money market has remained inert and

men at the White Sulphur Springs the
other day, and among them Governor
Mathews, on the subject Of the next Pres
ident. va quote as follows from his re-
port:
Governor Mathews, Of West Virginia,
thought the general disposition OF South.
ern men was to consider the question Of
availability, and while his own prefer.
uaCcs were for others, he had little doubt
that Tilden was the coming man. The
TACT that he had been elected and defraud-
II would have apowOriul pressure on the
next Democratic General Convention. A
rCCenttrip he had made through the North.
west had greatly strengthened his belief
in this respect. AllthO talk he had heard
confirmed il. lie thought the money ques.
ton was u dead issue in the South. Re-
sumption had resumed, aud the question
of FREQ elections was now paramount.
Yes, weshould say that the question oil
free elections is now important. When II
comes to terrorizing independent candi'
dates in the South intoa withdrawal from
the canvass in orderto keep the southsolid,
and then a%ssasinating them because they
persist in running, it is time, sure enough
to place some stress N the question Of
free elections.
