THE DAILY EV ENIN G TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY MARCH 29, 1870.
TUESDAY, MARCH 2! 1870.
t&" The Evening TELEGRAni, from
its original establishment, has been in the
receipt of telegraphic news from the New
York Associated Press, which consists of
the Tribune, Times, . Herald, World,
Sun, Journal of Commerce, Evening Tost,
Commercial Advertiser, and Evening Ex
press. The success which has attended
our enterprise is, in itself, a sufficient evi
dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia
bility of the news which we have received
from this source. We have now entered
into a special contract by which The
Evening Telegraph has the exclusive
use. of the news furnished in the afternoon
by the Associated Press to its own mem
bers, the North American, Inquirer,
Ledger,Press, Age and German Democrat,
of this city, and the leading journals of the
East, North, West and South; and hereafter
The Telegraph will be the only evening
paper published in this city in which the
nfternoon despatches of the Associated
Press will appear.
GENERAL GEORGE II. THOMAS.
The death ef this veteran soldier and
patriot will create a profound sensation
throughout the country. His career is re
viewed at length on our first page. -
TEE ROW AMONG THE NEW FORK
DEMOCRACY.
Scute time ago the New York World pro
claimed "war to the knife and the knife to
the hilt" against a portion of its beloved De
mocratic brothers whom it classified as the
Ring. . It denounced the members of this
King in the most vituperative terms, and
freely accused them of all the crimes in the
political calendar. We have little doubt that
its strictures were in the main true, espe
cially when we consider that they mean, when
translated into plain English, that nearly
every prominent Democratic office-holder in
New York is an unmitigated rascal. Knaves
though they be, however, they seem to be
keen-witted and powerful enough to thwart
the designs of their Democratic enemies, and
they set a seal on their triumph yesterday by
an official assertion of their supremacy in the
citadel of the party. In vain did the Young
Democracy, led by such pore reformers as
John Morrissey, and cheered on by such im
maenlate and infallible writers as the editors
of the New York World, plead for recognition
from, or admittance into, the sacred precinots
of Tammany II all. Not only were
its doors slammed in their faces,
but a strong body of policemen were stationed
in the vicinity to prevent the exercise of the
tmrglarioms talents of their assembled con
federates, so that they were compelled to beat
an ignominious retreat, and to avow them
selves vanquished in the metropolis of Demo
cratic majorities, as well as at the State capi
tal. Senator Tweed, who is represented by
the World as the embodiment of all that is
vile and wicked in modern politics, has thus
succeeded in gaining a substantial endorse
ment of his course at Albany, and the ruling
spirits of the party repudiate the World's pre
tended programme of reform. They have
bullied, cheated, levied, lied, and fattened
upon spoils wrung from the tax-payers for
years, and they do not propose to surrender
any of their advantages now for the benefit of
another and perhaps a still worse set of De
mocratic plunderers. The World endeavors
to persuade the publio that they are allies of
the Republicans, and it must be confessed
that for the present they have enabled the Re
publican party to overthrow the whole policy
which the New York Democrats as a party
repeatedly promised to adopt as soon as they
obtained power, but these Tweedites evidently
aot in their own interest alone, and they con
tinue to preserve, for the present at least, a
controlling influence in the counoils of the
city Democracy. If the denunciations of the
World are coupled with the proceedings at
Tammany Hall, the conclusion beoames in
evitable that rasoality still rules the roast in
Gotham. But this is neither strange nor new
intelligence.
THE ATTACK ON THE PIEGANS.
Thx report of Colonel Baker to General
Sheridan with regard to his attaok upon the
camp of the Piegan Indians will be received
with general satisfaction It gives a very
different version of the affair from that which
was first received and which exoited so much
indignation among the Eastern friends of Mr.
Lo, and it entirely relieves the offioers and
men of the army who were engaged in the
fight from the accusation of unnecessary
cruelty, and the wanton slaughter of women
and children that was made against them.
According to Colonel Baker, the total num
ber of Indians killed, so far as could be ascer
tained, was 173, of whom 120were able-bodied
men and 53 women and children. 140
women and children were captured and re
leased. Colonel Baker states his belief that
every effort was made by the officers and men
Tinder his command to protect the non-combatants,
and it was only by the unavoidable
casualties of such an affray that any women
and children were killed. . .
There is no reason to doubt that the state
ments of Colonel Baker are true in every par
ticular, and however much it may be regretted
that any women and children should be
slaughtered by our soldiers, the exigencies of
Indian warfare must be taken into account,
and the utter impossibility of punishing
the savages for their crimes unless in this
very manner. The friends of the Indian's
have only injured . their own cause by the
abuse they have lavished upon General Sheri
dan, Colonel Baker, and the officers and men
Under their command,' on account of this
affoir, before a oomplete and anthontio report
was published; and the practical oocumou
senRe of the people of the country will cor
talnly sustain the officers of the army who
are endeavoring to manage a flairs upon the
frontier, and protoct the settlers to the utmost
extent of their ability. We will moHt cor
dially support any practical efforts to benefit
the Indians, and to bring them to a state of
civilization. Those who are engagod in this
work are entitled to the sympathy and co
operation of their fellow-citizens; but they
should also bear in mind that the white
men on the plains have some rights, and
that it 1h the Rpecifio duty of the army to pro
tect the settlers with a strong arm. The In
dians have undoubtedly suffered many wrongs,
but they have given ample provocation for
the bitter feeling that is entertained towards
them by the whites; and in criticizing such
an affair as the attack upon the Piogans, it is
only proper to take into consideration the
outrages committed by them for which this
was at once a warning and a punishment, and
not to represent them as unresisting inno
cents, and the officers and men of tho army
as the b'oodthirsty aggressors. Any plan for
making the Indians amenable to the influences
of civilization, and confining them within
certain bounds, so that they will be
incapable of inflicting injury on their
white neighbors, is certainly beset
with grave difficulties; and those who are
seeking to solve the Indian problem in a
peaceable manner will receive but little as
sistance from the white race who are brought
immediately in contact with the savages.
General Sheridan was nearly right when he
said that the Boldiers are the only practical
friends that the Indians have, and the advo
cates of a peace policy will more surely ad
vance their ends if they will so manage as to
secure the co-operation of the army. Unre
strained abuse, ' however, is not the way to
secure this co-operation, and we regret ex
ceedingly that a better temper was not shown
in the criticism upon the Piegan affair.
A LEGISLATIVE BRICK.
The publio have become so accustomed to
the eccentricities of our wise legislators at
Harrisburg' that almost any bill may be
offered and acted upon without occasioning
surprise.
Among other rather dubious measures
recently brought forth is the bill of Mr.
Doiley, of this city, plaoing a very heavy tax
upon all briok made by machinery. Of
course, Mr. Dailey's intentions are perfeotly
pure, but many people are stupid enough to
characterize the bill as a "swindle," "briok
snake," eto. etc etc It is a well-established
fact that many machine-made brick are the
very best in the market, absorb less water,
and have more tenacity and endurance. An
other fact may also be worth stating that
the introduction of machine-made brick, and
the improvements made and being made in
the machinery employed, will very much
cheapen the cost of the production of that
Valuable and tmniul atvttol in -11 q
Here is where the shoe pinches. The men
and capital engaged in the old slow-coaoh
process of making brick by hand see very
clearly that unless some remedy be devised
their toccupation, like "Othello's," will be
gone.
In looking for a remedy they conolude to
apply the universal panacea of our day
legislative action. Who shall further the
measure? Upon what devoted head shall
that honor rest ? The graceful and accom
modating Doiley'presents himself: into his
willing ear they pour their sorrows. He sees
there is merit in the bill, and immediately
agrees, if not to become father to a brick, at
least to father the Brick bill. How many a
wiser legislative head has under the influence
of a "brick" done stranger things! What
a misfortune to the State and nation,
that there was no Dailey in the Legis
lature for the old stage-eoaoh institu
tion to appeal to for aid against the ter
rible innovation of railroads, to prevent
steam superseding wind navigation, power
looms superseding hand looms, and thus ren
dering obsolete the "time-honored weaver 1'
We cannot enumerate the thousand-and-one
supposed improvements of the age that might
not on just as tenable grounds as this "brick
bill" have been taxed out of use. Is it too
late for you yet, most considerate legislator ?
Could you not frame a bill so sweeping in its
provisions that all the improvements re
sulting from the application of steam
would be taxed to death ? The arguments
yon could employ would be unanswerable
from your standpoint. Could you not point
to the growing and overweening power of
railroad corporations their interference not
only in legislative but in political aotion;
and with what crushing force you could enu
merate the daily and yearly destruction of
human life on the land and on the sea result
ing from the use of steam ! There are more
men interested in steamboats, factories, work
shops, railroad, etc., eto. ten thousand to
one than there are struggling inventors in
the brick-machine business. On the Steam
bill a large company, of both great and small,
would call to see you. How many men, 0
incorruptible legislators, will see you on the
Brick bill? "0 temporal 0 mores.'"
.' i. 2 HE MORMONS.
Salt Lass City is in a terrible state of ex-
citement over Mr. Cullom's bill for the sup
pression of polygamy in Utah, which reeently
passed the National House of Representa
tives, and memorials will be forwarded to the
Senate asking for the expurgation of those
sections that bear most hardly upon the
;"peculiar institution" of Mormonism. The
bill as it actually passed the House was very
different in its essential features from that
originated by Mr. Cullom; and while pro
hibiting polygamy, it practically renders
such a prohibition ineffective by failing to
provide adequate means for enforcement or
adequate penalties for the offense. It is ex
tremely doubtful whether the bill will be able
to pass the Senate in any shape; and muoh
as we desire that the disgraceful features of
jMomionisia may be done away with or brought
under the control of the Government, tho re
can scarcely be a doubt as to the bad policy
of such an enactment as this. The original
bill, if passed by Congress, would have in
volved us in a bloody and expensive war to
very little purpose, while tho modification of
it that is now before the Sonate will,
if it becomes the law, remain
a , dead letter and be little more
than a protest against polygamy. Tho op
ponents of Mormonism have not as yet such
a foothold in Utah that we can afford to com
mence active measures of aggression against
tho Mormons, and any enaotment of this
kind is at least impolitic. The general idea
in nearly all sections of the country is that
the safest, spoedist, and bout methods of
dealing with the Mormons is to
leave them to their own dissensions,
that at the present time appear to be rapidly
demoralizing their organization, and to the
advancing twle of emigration that is surround
ing them with a hostile population that will
compel them in a few years to make another
move or else to bring their religious and
social policy more in conformity with the
principles of modern civilization. The time
may come when it will be both politio and
necessary for us to make the Mormons feel in
a decided manner the authority of the Gov
ernment and tho force of publio opinion;
but the time is not now, and we can well
afford to wait the development of events
before entering upon a costly campaign that
will bring us very little credit or glory and
that will place the Mormons in the attitude of
martyrs.
