TIN HURLEY ON THE WAR PATTI.

Our old friend Tim Hurley, who was from
first 10 last arrayed on the side OF the impeach-
ers, Is exceedingly wroth at the result. The
Governor offered to buy him of, but either
failed to bid high enough, or else Timothy has
struck an honest groove, and refused to be
brlbed. He swears that he will write to the
sun and expose the entire affair. He has, how
ever, entered into an agreement with those
members whom Scott bought. Scott is To be
subjected to the bleeding process for the re-
mainder Of the session. Hurley agrees to in
troduce at stated times resolutions of i'm
peachment which the majority will agree to
entertain. Meantime, an agent Of the organt-
zatiou will walt upon the Governor and re-
ceive proposals As soon as his Excellency
shells out, the resolutions viii be voted down.

Mary SomerviTIc,

BY cable despatch from London. under date OF
yesterday, we learn OF the death OF Mary Somer.
ville the celebrated mathematician and writer ON.
astronomy.
Mary Somerville was born In Scotland some few
years before the close OF the last centary. She
was, 1t may be, seventy eight years OF age. Her
early life was passed at school near Musseiburgls,
in the neghborhood OF Edinburgh, where sire was
distinguished for her easy, modest and unassrming
manners. She was married first TO an oficer Of
the Royal English Navy. This gentleman took
great pleasure In initiating her into knowledge OF
the mysteries OF mathematics and general science,
encouraged thereto by the wonderful aptitude
which she displayed for such pursuits. The hith-
ertO latent power OF her mind was thus developed.
Her first work, q summary OF the "Meoaniquol
Celeste" OF Laplace, was undertaken at the sugRes-
tion OF the late Lord Br0ugham. 1t came out,
under the title OF mechanism OF the Heavens" in
1881. This was succeeded by 1.-THE Connection Of
the Physical Sciences" in 1894, work which was
vastly praised by the reviewers. Next came
physical Geography" In 1s4S, comprising the his
tory of the earth and embracing AL those branches
OF scientific discovery to which she had directed
her attention. Her great depth OF knowledge,
combined with her exalted tone OF reasoning. rem
der works most acceptable to the hterdu and
OF the Royal Astronomical Society in the year 1895,
and during heightened life received many other
well-mcrited acknowledgements OF her literary SER
vices. Some few years since the English govern
ment granted her pension OF $500 year from the
Civil List.

SEVERE FIGHT WITH INDIANS

The Nodocs Refuse TO Go ON tho Klam-
ath Reservation and show Fight
Soldiers and savagcs Killed and
Wounded.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Dec. I, 1872.
The Commissioner Of Indian Affairs OF oregon
ordered superintendent ordeneal to put the Modoc
Indians on the Klamath Reservation, and by force
If necessary. The Superintendent went in person
to the Modocs, but they refused to go. The sub
ject Of their removal was then referred to the
military authorities, and on the 2Sth OF November
Major Jackson, Of Company b, First cavalry, with
thirty-nve men, left Fort klamath for the camp
OF the M0d0cs, near the mouth OF Lost River.
Reaching there, he surrounded the camp and re-
quested interview with the chief OF the Indians,
whom he told that the soldiers did not come to
fight, but to put them on the reservation. The
Modocs refused to comply, and were ordered to lay
down their arms. During the parley one Indian
raised his gun and fred upon Lieutenant
Bouttele. He missed his aim, however, and
BOuttelle returned the fre, killing the Indian.
Instantly firing began on both sides, the battle
lasting two hours and desperate In character. one
soldier was killed and four were wounded, and two
citizens, William Mass and - Hurcber were
killed. Fifteen Modocs were killed, and all the
women and many horses were captured. The
Indians retreated to the hills, but returned In the
afternoon and recommended firing the fight con-
tinuing at last accounts. Sixty Modocs were en-
gagged. Both sides are expecting reinforcements
Four chiefs were killed.

Constitutional Principle Involved In the
Crisis.
Ten years have passed away since an attempt
to alter the existing feuda system in the six prov
inces OF Prussia was made by the liberal Ministry
Of Count Schwerin. The progress Of the scheme
was interrupted by the constitutional struggles
provoked by the demand for funds for the army,
and was then further delayed by the wars OF 1854
and 1866. In 1869 a new project was introduced by
Count Eulenburg but the war Of 1870 again inter-
vened to stop progress, and 1t was not till the Au-
tumn OF 1871 that the second bill was brought
In. Lengthy discussions took place In the Lower
Chamber; two sessions were necessary to bring
about an agreement on the subject between the
government and the House OF Representatives.
The compromise which was the result during the
last session was carried by 256 to 81 votes 1t was
sent up to the Peers and 1t hoped that at last
they too would agree to a measure which, though
introducing the principle OF selfg0vernment in the
provinces, nevertheless made no rude break with
the system OF administration In actual existence.
1t abolished the hereditary magistracy and allowed
the urban communes to elect their scisuLze or may
owners OF the control they had been accustomed to
exercise over the police, and established q new ad
minlstration appointed by the governor Of the
county assembly appointed by the King OF Prus-
sia was retained; but side by side with it was
established committee Of SIX members to
hold office for six years, through the man.
ner OF whose appointment the element Of
self-government was introduced, and upon whom
and projects to be voted upon by the Provincial
Assembly. Considerable notifications were intro
duced into the composition Of the Provincial AS
sembly itself. Hitherto 1t has been wholly under
the influence OF the local proprietors, but by the
new arrangement the other classes OF the popula-
tion would be admitted to an appreciable share in
its constitution in proportion to population and
taxation. Thus the bill passed by the Lower
House with the approval Of the government, and
which was just lately rejected by the Upper
Chamber, was compromise IL which the conserya-
tive feelings and prejudices OF party were defer
red to upon many points. All the same, however,
it was heavy blow dealt at the powers and
privileges OF the landed proprietors and squrear-
chyv or Prussia, and the members OF that class
IN Prussia will be vastly agitated by the present
action of the German crown.

went to Merriman, increasing his vote to thirty
