The assassination - of H. Rives Pollard in-

Grant was brought before the Mayor of
Richmond on Friday, by whom, after being
held for examination by the Grand Jury, he

to stem-it under so loose an administrative
system as ours. An irredeemable, fluctuating
icy will diffuse through a community a
of restless speculation, arid impatience
of the slow gains of regular trade and honest

The present hideous corruption of public
and pecuniary morals is an inheritance from
the late war, and there is needed .more skill
and courage_to cope with it than were requi
site to end the.war itself. The existence of a
stupendous public debt and the consequent
necessity for high taxation is one of the most
fruitful sogr^s'^I gterufliife. Tjflless the
debt and firianees are" to be’better managed
than they have been .fhus fiir,-, it would be

General Skeritlan and 'tbe Indians.
Gen, Sheridan’s report on the Indian cam
paign of 1868 exhibits that sprt. of spirit
which we may suppose actnates the wild
sportsman who hunts thu-grizzly bear. See
with .what gusto-he talks about kfiling/^men
and brothers”—for the doctrine of his party
is that white men, red men and blockmen
are all brothers and equals. In one para
graph he says; “Unless 'the 'Indians are
crushed out an.d made to obey," Ac., Ac. In
another paragraph he says with the true hu
manitarian unction: “Oar success so far, in
| the Humber of Indians kitted, is frilly as great
as could be expected, and .arrangements are
now being made for active operations against
i their villages and stock.”
The pet Radical.General talks about slav
ing Indians as-if hi®, whole heart .and. soul
were in .tbe work. ITfrere is nothing to show
that it is a' disagreeable necessity • to bri un-

So long as theynrarder and rob travelers and

Feabfui.' Accident — Miraculous Escape
from- a ^Sink-Hole.—James Williams, who
lives eight miles from Knoxville, iri company
■with two other men, was out hunting oh
Xhritsflay night last. Williams, who had an
axe on his shoulder, and was iu advance of the
other two men, passing'through h field, Pep
ped info a hole or cave and disappeared. The
party-with him approached the mouth of the
cave and halloed, but conld get no response.
They went to a neighbor’s house arid learned
that toe depth of. toe.. cave had never been
ascertained. They at once got bed-cords arid
tied them. .together, fastening a rock to one
end and letting it down into the hole'to toe-
depth of 120 feet. Williams was alive, and
tied the rope around his • body and legs, and
washauaedor pulled from .the awful chasiri
by six men, who had come to his assistance.
He is still' living, but with little hope of re
covery; ' These are facts, though it looks fab-
