The Modoc Prisoners.

What is to be done with the Modoc murderers,
seems question with many of our exchaDges.-
Some 60 so far as TO say even Captain Jack cannot
be executed. If Captain Jack had not been guilty
of breaking truce and assasinating those whom
he had promised to protect, and deooyed into his
presence; there might be doubt as to what course
the War Department would take with rcfersnce
to him and those equally guilty with him, But
notwithstanding he surrendered as a prisoner OF
war" their murder of Candy and Thomas place
them without the pale of even savage warfare,
and renders them liable to the fate of outlaws
But the wild hunt after these savages is not war,
in the sense of that term used by civilized ma
tions The government Of the United States did
not desire 10 make war upon the Modoc tribe. II
simply went in search of murderous band OF this
tribe and had these murderers and thieves been
surrendered, or not protected, there would have
been no war-the guilty wretches would have been
taken and hung. To class any Of these Indian
"braves," therefore, as prisoners of war, in the
proper sense of that term is not s;Iictly proper
They all subjected themselves 10 the fate ofmurder
ere, and at least all who are guilty Of numbering
settlers, OF participated in the massacre Of the
Peace Commissioners should be hung or shot.

Morn Ernnauras-

The corruption OF theRadical leaders is daily
becoming more apparent. Washington dis-
patch to the Cincinnati Commercial thus hints at
another possible Congressional scandal:
sit is privately stated here that lawsuit which
has Just been commenced in the District Courts
by the estate of the late cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank, against q corporation known here as
the Metropolitan Paving Company, will develop
more food for scandal 80 lar public officials are
concerned, than did the Credit Mobllier suits in
ttigated by Mr.. McComb in Philadelphia. The
story goes that any number Of Congressman, be-
sides higher game, had contracts from this con-
Germ and dealings with the above bank in this
neeton, which will do anything but add TO their
present reputations."

American Industvy a. Vienna,

From the New York World.
No douhs Pennsylvania win make the most Inn
Portant show of the United States at Vienna, and
amOng her chief objects OF exhibition will, OF
course, be bar-iron. We may expect Pennsylva-
MIA 20 prove that her bariron is as good as any
iron made In England, ii it is not better. But We
will tell the Judges what they will not hear from
the exhibitors "what we know about bar-iren :"
First BaT-iron is dearer in the United States
than in any other country on the globe, Tim
buctOo perhaps excepted, since no prices current
come from thai Interesting land
Second. The aEOwed object Of having high
duty on foreign barron is 10 protect home in-
dustry, or In other words 10 diminish or totally
extinguish the importation of bar iron.
Third. Instead of diminishing our imports OF
bar-irOn we have gone on steadily increasing
them. While we only imported l5OOOO,O0O
pounds of bar-iron in 1868, we increased its i'm
portatiOn in 1S72 to 2S6, 100000 pounds, which
shows that the Pennsylvania iron manufacturers
cannot keep pace with the wants of the country.
Fourth. Notwithstanding the excellence Of the
Pennsylvania iron, and the promise made years
ago that If a protection of seven years was only
granted to the iron industry, we should export
iron TO England, twelve years have now passed,
yet the whole expectation in 1872 Of bar-iron was
thirty-six and three-quarters tons, valued al
"a $50. These being the facts, We hope some
honorable commissioner will ask these Pennsyl
vania exhibitors why, If protection dOcs not pre-
vent importations OF bar-iron, but increases them
and does not increase expectation OF bar-iron
but prevents 1t, and if the Treasury has yearly
surpluses and docs not need heavy revenue from
bar-iron, the high duty is kept upg
We will tell them we use about SOC, 900 900
pOunds OF bAr-iron 2S6, ,O00, 600 pounds we i'm
port, and pay average tax Of IL cents pei
pound, OF say S2q50000, into the Treasury
There therefore remains 664, ,Oo0,0oO pounds Of
bar-iron which we take from Pennsylvania, on
which we OF course pay also the additional u
cents per pound, amounting TO $7,050,000 the
latter going into the pockets Of less than two
score CT irOn-masters. 1t is because these iron
masters insist upon an annual bonus OF $1,000, 600
that 100000 people must pay tribute TO them.
As Butler, in the matter of the back pay, so the
ironmasters in defense of their bonus might say,
Suppose we do steal s. 100000 annually on the
bar-irOn protection, it is only l71f cents a head
for everybody If public bcnelactors like us are
not allowed to pocket such trihe what Is to be-
come of republican institutions ="

Tho POST ONCE.

The Ccnsmer5ia1 intimates that the post office is
closed on holidays at 9 o'clock, by orders from
Washington. We can scarcely credit this. But
if the Department should have committed such a
blander, we think that any former Postmaster
would have had the matter corrected and not have
kept the people of this city nearly whole day and
night without their letters from the four or Eve
most importan: mails, when this could have been
prevented by keeping the Office open an hour or
two longer.
We shall now have to call on the Postmaster
General for an explanation of the matter. If he
gives such orders, or suffers such conduct on the
part OF his subordinaIes, he deserves the seyerest
ceasure of our business men generally.

TRANSPORTATION ROUTES TO THE SEABoARD'-
Senators Casserly and Baysrd, OF the Senate Sc
lect Committee on Transportation Routes to the
Seaboard, recently returned TO Washington from
trip along the projected line Of the Virginia and
Kanawha canal, from the James river to the Ohio
valley. This subcommittee were favorAbly i'm
pressed by the mineral resources of the region ex-
plored, but have not yet agreed upon report in
reference to the canal, to construct which, it has
been estimated, will cost many millions Of dollars.
This route will require tunnel of mile In length
u0der the Aleghenies, system OF mountain res
ervoirs 10 supply the canal with water and q series
Of dams and locks on the Greenbrier river. These
difficulties, it would appear, struck the snb-eom-
mittee forciby, but all objections were answered
by the assurances and the belief of competent
engineer" that the plan was practicable.
