The robbery of Mr.. Colfax's trunk, while
he Was wrestling with the Credit Mobilier
committee, was coincidence, and the man
ner in which the robbery was treated was
Just little bit mysterious. Mr.. Colfax was
a poor man, and the bonds stolen from his
trunk amounted only TO thousand dollars
q or 30. 1t wasn't worth making much fuss
about, and statements calculated to stife all
interest and curiosity in the matter were
soon forthcoming. At last it was announc-
ed that the property had been nearly all re-
covered, and nothing was said about the
thief But now, when the affair has been
generally forgotten, somebody in South
Bend writes to the New York Sun that the
bonds stolen on that occasion were worth
between ninety and one hundred. thousand
dollars; that Mr.. Colfax had them in his
lodgings because he dared not deposit them
in a safer place, lest they should reveal the
story of his wealth, and expose his methods
of acquisition; that fellow-lodger took ad
vantage of Mr.. Colfax's troubles to rob
him Of those bonds, knowing that he would
not dare TO expose or prosecute the robber
very vigorously; that the latter has been in
duced to compromise and disgorge most of
the plunder which has been returned to Mr..
Colfax by police authorities who are cog
infant of the facts, but are keeping Mr..
Colfax's secret and permitting the thief to
avoid exposure, trial and punishment. In
other words, it is charged that Mr.. Colfax
has bis congressional profits sailed down in
the shape of first class securities to the
value of S100, 900, and that he would rather
lose this handsome sum by surrendering it
TO OIkes Ames or anybody else than to
place it, or the fact that be possesses it,
within the reach of impertinent investiga-
ton. This is very strange story, and no
proof Of its truth has been made public,
yet there is every reason to fear that cir
cumstances will lend it both currency and
credit unless it g met and crushed by an
authoritative denial.-St. Louis RepubH-

WHY THE MODOCs KILLED CANDY
From the st. Louis Republican.

IlV4t INC ~. AOOAc 0CpuDilChus
Some allusion has been made in these
columns to the event of twenty We rs ago
which is believed to have been the prime
cause of the massacre of Gen. Candy and
DR.. Thomas. The details of this event are
briefly summed up in the following tele-
gram from San Francisco, dated the 10th
inst:
ain 1852, Northern California was dis
turbed by Indian troubles, and the same
year company, under command of Capt.
Benjamin Wright, was organized, and pro-
ceeded from Yreka to the Indian country
around Tule lake and the lava beds. They
fought three successful battles, the force be-
ing insufficient for the subsection of the Mo-
docs. They returned to Yreka, organized
q larger force and marched again to the
Modoc country. Winter approaching, found
the Mo1ocs' supply Of blankets, ammuni-
ton and food extremely limited; conse-
quently the Modocs were anxiohs for a, ees-
sation Of hostilities. In April Capt. Wright
received the Modoc overtures with great
cordislity. A peace conference was agreed
upon, and place appointed in the
immediate vicinity of the massacre of
Gen. Candy. The conference met, consist
ing of about twenty-five Indians and thirty
Nnltc W ullC 0tcSuoclllE buC bClAlS3
Wright gave the men a signal, and in a
moment they killed eighteen Modocs, and
seven Modocs escaped. Thus persisted the
fathers Of the present ModOcs. Capt. Jack
was nine years old, john Schonchin nine
teen and Boston Charley and Hooker Jim
two years old. 1t is probable revenge grew
with age, eliminating in the Candy and
Thomas massacre. Some years afterwards
Wright was appointed Indian agent on
Rogue river. Wright was spprehensive of
Modoc vengeance. One night a Modoc
chief named Enos murdered and horribly
mutilated Wright's body. Chief Enos was
afterwards captured and hanged. He died
exulting that he had wrecked vengeance on
the leader of the massacre of his murdered
tribe"
Though the infamous butchery perpe.
, trated by Wright is no sufficient apology for
the murderous treacheryof Capt. Jack, yet
from q strictly Indian point of view there is
logical and justifable connection between
these two bloody deeds. Of the two,
WTight's is the worse. He was a while
man and an American, and therefore might
be supposed to have some faint perceptions
of humanity, honor and justice; while Jack
and his comrades, being saYages, are sup
posed TO be utterly destitute of these quail
ties. Wright's slaughter Of the Modocs was
entirely unprovoked; Jacks murder of
Candy and Thomas did have .provocstion.
Let not the innocence of the victims and
the horrible manner of their taking off put
that provocation out of sight altogether.
We cannot afford to ignore facts, even
where Indians may derive slight benefit
from them.

A Massachusetts Murder.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, April 25.-ln the
Supreme Court in this city to-day, Albert
W. Smith was convicted of murder in the
first degree of Charles D. Sackett, at West
field, on the 10Th of November last, and
will be sentenced tomorrow. The circum-
stances that led to the crime, were that
Smith had an infatuated passion for a
Miss Jennie Bates, of Westfeld, and meeting
her returning from the theatre in company
with Sackett, to whom she was betrothed,
fred several shots from his pistol, wound
ing Miss Bates in three places and putting
bullet through Sackett's breast, from the
effects of which wound he died in short
time. The line of the defence was that the
murder was committed in monomaniac
delusion.

To-day it transpired that the Oyer and
Terminer grand jury had found indict-
ments against 127 keepers of sailors board
g-houses, charged With violation Of the
act of Congress, known as the new ship
ping act passed in 1872 for the protection of
sailors. H-
About six O'Clock, seventy policemen,
armed with warrants, made a tour OF the
4th and 9th wards, and succeeded in arrest
ing fifty-two of the indicted parties. The
arrests produced much excitement, and but
for the overwhelming force of police resist

1t Goes into British Government
Hands Two Years Hence.
NEW YORK, April 25.-The Euening
Post has a letter from New Foundland
which states clause in the charter of the
New York, New Foundland, and London
Telegraph Company which has passed
almost unnoticed. 1t provides that at the
end of the frs5 twenty years the Govern
lnent of New Foundland has the right of
purchasing the line at valuation. The
first twenty years terminates in 1875.
The company have recently applied to the
Government to have this clause rescinded,
and their possession be thus continued for
the next thirty years, but the Government
under the most eminent legal advice in
London that they have the right to pur-
chase the line at cost Of the plant, without
paying anything for good will or the valua-
ton Of profits, have refused. Receipt of
this intelligence in London caused the stock
of the company to fall from EGO to ETA,
but after the panic abated somewhat it rose
to Ell.

AN enraptured Texan editor thus gives
his impressions of the opera: "The aroma
of violets exudes from it as though every
note were an odorous petal whose ex-
quisite scent is carried to the finer nerves
Of the brain upon the balmy air of sound,
dying away in melodious and evanescent
fails, and swelling with the richness Of per
fumed life into being again, until the soul
is wrapped in mantle Of sensuous delight
that makes it faint with rapture" If q
common opera affects him thus, what would
be the result if he should see Miss Nilsson
as "Juliette," to be followed by doses of
LIE Clereq, Thompson, Weathersbee, Aimee
and so on down to those of homeopathic
size?

A MICHIGAN man has invented uni
que, poetical, and, to his mind, eminently
practical mode of travelling pidly on horse
back. His idea is to construct cone-shap-
ed balloon, which is to be laid lengthwise
upon the horses back. The animal and
rider are to be weighed, and the balloon
filed with just gas enough to lift all but a
few pounds weight of horse and rider from
the earth, in order that the frisky Pegasus
may have nothing to do but go ahead.
The possible speed of such cOntrivance
is as yet beyond conjecture.
