Some such result Mr. Pollard for he had no- participants in snch encouriters.

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.

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.

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.
