TREATMENT OF THE HOSTILE

The continual outbreaks Of the miser-
able Indians Of this State and the neigh
boring Territories calls for treatment of
them by our military authorities which
might in other cases be considered harsh.
Nothing but fear will operate upon them,
and they will have no fear until few
examples shall be made of them which
their thick-headedness will not prevent
them from understanding. They do not
believe the whites have much power be-
cause they do not see it displayed, and
their want of comprehension will not allow
them to believe what they cannot see with
their own eyes. Their. idea of power is
governed only by the display of it, and
any lenity or tenderness in their treatment
on the part of the whites is sure to be re.
garded by them as evidence of timidity or
weakness. They know no policy and are
incapable of understanding any policy
but their own; and as nothing but fear OF
retaliation would cause them to save from
death captive in their hands, so they rea-
son nothing but fear prevents the whites
from dealing summarily with them when
captured after the preparation Of some
of their cowardly and fiendish deeds OF
blood. Nothing but stern treatment now
will deter the blood-thirsty towards from
sneaking upon and numbering in cold
blood every man, woman and child they
can find defenseless; and no such dealing
with them as is directed in the following,
from an order issued lately from the head
Quarters of the Military Department Of
the Pacific, will answer at the present
time. The order reads as follows:
Hereafter no officer or soldier will ex-
ecute or aid in executing any Indian pris-
oners on any pretext whatever. If an
Indian commits any crime, the military
may hold him under guard until the civil
authority can take charge Of him."
The Indians are warriors, and know and
care nothing of civil authority or civil
laws. The dealings with them are alto
gether a military character, and when any
of them comes into the hands of the mill
tary, they should be tried by Military
Court, and il guilty, punished by military
law. Those who ere in arms and organ
lied in bands for plumber and murder, all
hostile Indians against whom our military
are operating, are levying war. If cap
tured, they are prisoners of war; and il
their barbarity demands retaliation, II
must be done as an act of war. The civil
authorities can neither efectually or justly
deal with them. They have no place to
keep horde of lousy Piutes or Shoshones
awaiting trial. They would not be bene-
fitted by trial before the civil court, fol
in such cases it could be little better than
a farce. The military authorities are the
ones who can best deal with them, and the
ones to whom all Indians who have been
guilty Of depredations and murders should
be turned over when captured.

and upon which it has reflected credit as a
well conducted newspaper, inferior to

xVw SUPERINTENDENT.
!, -. the County Commissioner

Yesterday, the County Commissioners
=, Storey county met and appointed Hon.
Jobn A Collins Superintendent OF Public
and Common Schools Of our county. No
otter person could have been appointed
He always has taken great interest IN
,be welfare of our public schools and
labored earnestly to promote the cause OF
od,carion in our State. 1t has been greatly
ov;ns TO his exertions that our public
schools have received such liberal provis-
ION. as the laws of our State give them.
Mr.. Collins formerly had charge Of the
schools of this county, and by his judi
cious MANAGEMENT and introduction Of
system made them second to none on this
coast. The prompt action of the County
Commissioners in appointing a Superin-
sendent will save much injury being
done the schools which would inevitably
have resulted from dilatory proceedings
on their part. The prompt districhng Of
the county and appointment of proper
persons for School Trustees will cure what
irregularities have already been occasioned
by the complications in which oursschool
matters have lately been involved. We
understand that there is plenty of money
in the school fund for carrying on the
schools, but that many of the teachers
have not been paid their salaries for some
time on account of the questionable au-
thority of the late Superintendent to dis
burse it. With money in the treasury
and confidence in the persons who have
control of the educational matters OF this
county, it will not be long before the
schools of Storey will be as prosperous as
those Of any county on this coast.

IMPORTANT VERDICT

The jury in the case Of the Bullion

came into Judge Rising's Court to-day
at about o'clock, and rendered verdict
for the Bullion Company-the jury stand
ing nine for the plaintiff and three for the

expectation. The case, of course, will be

A BAD LooK.-The case of the Brontes
adventures presents bad appearance, at
least so far as the complaint as charged
goes. Williams, Hungerford and Bruce,
arrested on the charge Of conspiracy to
steal the steamer Colon, Peruvian vessel
belonging to Henry Harroilhet, have been
admitted to bail in the sum of 81, 900 each.
The affidavits are to the effect that the
Colon was intended to be used to prey
upon French commerce, under pretence of
rendering assistance to Juarez, of the Mex.
lean Government. The plan Of stealing
the Colon was wretched one. Williams,
it is charged, is at the head of the Brontes
and Colon affairs, he having received $l5,-
900 from Gen. Vega to assist in Juarez's
interests. He has made miserable use Of
the money, involved his companions in
trouble, and failed generally, both in plan
and attempt. Before the police, affidavits
state that it was the intention of the party
arrested to steal the Colon-that the Peru
Wan Government would overlook it. The
French transport Rhin was also to be cap
tured as she came down from Mare Island.
One witness says Gen. Williams gave him
pair Of nippers to cut the telegraph wires
to Fort Point. To those Of the party who
inquired why it was necessary to use force
to take the Colon if its Government would
overlook its capture, it was answered that
the mere show Of attempting to retain
possession of the steamer would be suffi-
Gent for international purposes in placing
the Government Of Peru in correct posi-
ton, and was necessary that it might not
involve her with France. The statement
that the party intended to seize the mail
steamer with treasure, turns out to be
without foundation. Gen. Vega, who Is
in the city, declares that it was the design
Of the parties to use the advantages they
had received under plea of aiding Mexi-
co, in carrying out their own unlawful
purposes. The trial of these parties is
continued.-S. +. Spectator.

How His BOdy was DispOSed Of
InterestinE Particulars.

How His Body was Di.Pssed SE-

From the New York Worlds graphic
report Of the capture Of Booth, the in
famous assassin of the President we
make the following extract. After de-
scribing how doctor was sent for, and
his arrival at the scene of the tragedy, the
writer says:
Just at his coming, Booth had asked to
have his hands raised and shown him.
They were so paralyzed that he did not
know their location. When they. were
displayed, be muttered with sad lethargy,
UJJseless, useless" These were the last
words he ever uttered. AS he began to
die. the eun rose and threw beams into all
the tree tops. 1t was of mans heignt
when the struggle of death twitched and
fingered in the fading bravado's face. His
Jaw drew spasmodically and obhquely
downward; his eyeballs rolled toward his
feet and began to swell; lividness, like .
horrible shadow, fastened upon him. and
with sort ofgurgle and sudden check.
he stretched his feet and threw his head
back and gave up the ghost.
On Thursday the Secretary OF War;
without instructions of any kind, commit
ted to Colonel Lafayette c. Baker, of the
secret service, the stark corpse off. Wilkes
Booth. The secret service never fulfilled
its volition more secretively. "What have
you done with the body" said to Baker.
"That is known" he answered. "to only
one man living besides myself. Its gone,
l will not tell you where. The only man
who knows it is sworn to silence. Never
till the great trumpeter comes shall the
grave of Booth be discovered.
And this is true. Last night, the 9th
of April, small row-boat received the
carcass of the murderer, and only two
men were in it; they carried the body off
into the darkness, and out of the darkness
it will never return. The river bottom
may ooze about it, laden with great shot
and drowning manacles. The earth may
have opened to give it that silence and
forgiveness which man will never give its
memory. The fishes may swim around it,
or the daisies grow white above it; but we
shall never know it.
