ing to shoot Postmaster Pearce on Sunday

peat the attempt she was seized by bystand-

INDIAN TREACHERY.

The return of tho captive womer
 and children of tho Ute Indian
 Agency, revals history of perffdy
 on the part of the Ute Chiefs that is
 almost without a parallel in frontier annals. After the murder of MIR. MEEkER, and the male employees,
 word was sent 50 OURAY. the head
 chief of the Ute Nation, that the wo-
 men and children were safe under
 the protection of a chief named
 DOUGLASS, and he has received the
 credit all along of protecting the
 captives, at the risk even of his own
 life This theory was all the more
 readily accepted, because he had
 been on terms of the warmest friend ship with the Age2ts family. He
 had received many favors at their hands, even accorded the privilege of their home and table. IL now trans pircs that this yagabond robbed the women of every dollar of their money, and threatened them with hellish violence. an6 even presented to their heads loaded gun with the intention of taking their lives. Mss JOSEPHINE MEEKER and MRs. PRICE, however, not only fought for their own life and honor but success fully defended MRS. MEEKER, poor invalid lady, sick and wounded by a rifle ball in the hip at the time of the ! massacre. The only Indian on whom these prisoners could rely, for cap i tivity of twenty-two days in the bar barlc camp was a woman. SUSAN, by name, who defended them 10 the last, md pleaded in open council for their liberation She was tho sister of OURAY, and her influence at last pre- vailed for their safety. But for her hey would have suffered death or ate far worse, at the hands of the pampered fiends. who have, fer Tears been trusted and fed by the cit zens and the Government. The In iian is not to be trusted. He is reachery incaraated, and we should hink COOPER would roll over in his grave at the gloss he has put on the Indian character, which is destitute If a single rrdeeming feature, when comes to be properly known.

SENATOR DAYARD.

In the Democratic party there are a few men who can be trusted. The most Of them have either shown the lack of all the qualities of sound statosmanship or an utter absence of
 political morality. We use the term political morality" in it's best sense. We mean the morals in politics which enable q man to rise above party TOT the sake of pure principle In this class is found the gentleman whose name stands at the head of this arti- cle. His name is in Washington, in all circles mentioned with respect. At his home in Wilmington, Delaware, as we know by personal acquaint- ance with the people, is.the synonym for manly honesty and an integrity of character that is the admiration of all. He IS a man, in the truest, best sense of that term. He is too large for the narrow lines of parti- zanism, and for that very reason, he has been ignored by the Democracy. He is too good a man for their pur- pose. He is too sound a man in his character to be drawn into corruption and too unimpeachablc in his record to attract admiration of the Demo cratic party. Tic elections that have recently put such a brand upon that party may bring them to their senses If they return to an honest policy and if we m ust have Q Democratic President in 1880, let them give us a pure man like Senator BAYARD. The l country could experience a much worse calamity.
