William Burns, said to be the founder
OF the city of La Sale, died at St Joseph 5
Hospital, III Chicago, on Wednesday after
noon, at the advanced age Of 113 years. -
ir- Burns was a native OF Ireland. Up to
the time Of his death he retained all his
faculties heard well, spoke distinctly, and
h"d FiVId recollection OF things long for
gotten by the ''oldcst citizens.;' Lately.
however, he was unable to walk. and his
eyes had a certain dim appearance. as if
they had actually faded with years and use.
The sisters of the hospital have cared for
the old man with the greatest possible
tenderness. He had grown to be regarded
as part of the institution, and his demise
IS mourned by all its inmates.

CAPTAIN JACK is evidently regarded
by ATTORNEY General Williams as
conquered belligerent enemy against
whom the charge is brought of having
violated the laws Of war 1t is there
fore the opinion of that functionary
that the captured leader of the Modocs
must be tried by military tribunal.
So far as Captain Jacks fate is con-
ccrned, it matters little whether he is
handed over to the civil authorities or
tried 10y court martial. That is sealed.
He woGld be hanged by an Oregon
jury and it is not at all probable that
he will escape the gallOws if his case
is disposed OF by 4 court organized by
General Davis. But the reasoning by
which the Attorney General reaches
the conclusion that Captain Jack was
belligcreut and as such violated the
laws Of war, recognizes every Indian
tribe within the limits Of the territory
OF the United States as an independent
nation. According to this absurd idea,
tribe of Indians might levy war
againstthc United States just rs Great
Britain or any recognized independent
power might do, and if the savages did
not in any respect violate the laws Of
war they could not he punished except
merely by suhjugation to the authority
Of the United States. They could not
he tried for any offence against the
laws Of the United States because they
are not in any sense OF degree subject
to them, but entirely independent Of
them. This ridiculous and fatal theo-
~ is based on the fact that the federal
government has recognized the tribal
organization Of the Indians in making
treaties with them. If such is the log
ical consequence Of the recognition Of
the tribal character Of savage bands
every treaty with them should be re-
vol<ed, and Indian agencies established
to deal with individuals instead Of
tribes. Let the savages who cannot
maintain themselves be fed and clothed
( by the government as heretofore, but
the authority of the chiefs ought to be
ignored and tribal organizations bro
ken up. Until this be done there can
be no peace nor security OF property
or life on the frontier-PGtiot

AN exhibit has been made by the
New York SIN Of the horse and waron
account Of the Treasury Department
at " ashington. From the official
figures, 1t appears for repairs upon two
wagons and three harnesses the eynop-
ses during the year 1872 nearly touch
ed four thousand dollars. The horse
shoeing bill Incurred by the three horses
that drew these two wagons has now
been published, and amounts to over
three hundred and thirty-three dollars
for the year, the single items ranging
from four to thirty-twodolIars. When
other items are put upon the same basis
as the above, it is no longer a matter
of surprise that the contingent cxpen-
ses Of the Treasury for the coming
fiscal year are estimated at over $227,-
COO, or nearly twice the sum that was
once sufficient to pay all the Treasury
expenses, salaries included.

THE question as to the disposition
to be made of Captain Jack and the
other Modoc prisoners Of war, having
been submitted by the President to the
Attorney General, that officer has fur
mshed a written opinion on the sub
ject. Although there is an aetempt
for buncombe made hy the Attorney
General to aSsimilate the case Of tEr
murderers Of General Caubv to that
of Writ, the keeper Of the Anderson
vile prison, as well as TO the military
murder Of Mrs. Surratt, the cases be
ing as unlike each other as a hawk Is
unlike handsaw, he has arrived at
the correct conclusion, and decides
that the Modocs who are charged with
having violated the recognized laws of
war are subject so trial hy military
commission. Capt. Jack, Schonchin,
and the other Modocs who assassin
ated Gen. Candy and Peace Commis-
sloner Thomas, VIII therefore be tried
before military tribunal, as soon as
IL can be organized by Gen Davis
under instructions from General Shcr-
man. Some weeks must elapsa before
the punishment Of the guilty parties
can take place. The following is the
conclusion of the Attorney Generals
opinion:
MY conclusion, therefore, Is that a military
commission may be appointed 10 Try su,4, ~.
the Modoc Indians now ia CUSTODY as mr..
charged with offences @ainst thr rcCorlfiz-d

are found guilty they may be subjected to

CAPTAIN JACK-WHo RAISED HIM, WHO
NAMED HIM, AND WHOM He Is NAMED
AFTER.-Our reporter has obtained from
Mrs. Jos. Knott, an old lady living in this
city, and nearly seventy years of age, the
following account of Captain Jack
In the year 1851, while living at Conon-
vile, Douglass county, an Indian boy came
TO their house, and speaking :he iargOn,
desired to live with them. He was one of
the Rogue River Indians, and belonged to
the tribe then located on Cow Greek. She
noticed that he appeared to be an active.
keen, shrewd-loolling boy, and with the
consent of the husband took him to raise.
with whom he remained several years.
AS soon as the boy was assured that
they intended to keep him, he insisted on
having ''Boston" name, as he called it,
and wished to be named after the best
boxing Of Mrs. knOtt's children. This
being appreciated by the mother. she de
clded to name him after her son-their
ages apparently being about the same
and this son was j. Knott, better known as
Jack Knott, of saloon fame. The bows
grew up together, and many were the daTs
they spent III the sports of the chase. On
one occasion, after he had been with them
some time, he became offended because he
was told to leave the room. and loaded his
IlIie with the intention of shooting Ievi
prevent his designs.
Inns circumstance led to his expulsion
from the family, and from that until the
present time he has not been seen by them.
except IN 1850, the year IN which he mur-
dered Mrs. Harris, after which Jack went
TO the Goose Lake country. His mother
was 1uil sister to Rogue River John. who
attempted to seize the steamer Columbia.
Whlle she lay at anchor in the harbor Of
crescent City, and also a half sister to the
War-chief Sam, of the same cribe. and
chle1 Joe, who received his appeIlation
from itI having fought General Joe Lane.
Al OF these facts, and many others which
we nave no space to mention, were recent
y confirmed by Judge Prim, of Eastern
lars to Mrs. Knott, stating that tha Great
3lodoc Chieltain, Captain Jack, was the
bo@y she took to raise in 1851. .-Pordand

THE recent arrest in Boston Of a man
known by the name OF Robert l.. Dudley,
and numerous other names, has brought
co light the details of most curious plan
10 rob the mails which for long time bud
ley successfully pursued. He had an ac-
cOmplice named r. W. Wales. formerly
employed rs a railroad post Office clerk,
but who had resigned in order to 20 into
other business. The new business in which
Wales was ostcns bly, engaged required
him TO travel a great deal, AID taking ad-
vantage of his acquaintance with his old
associates on the postal cars running on the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern rail
road he gained access to those cars. .notwith-
standing the rules prohibiting the admis-
sion of outsiders, and under the prcteuce
Of relieving the monOtuny.Of his Journey
lngS volunteered his assistance in distri-
buting the mails. While thus engaged he
managed TO conceal and get away with
large numbers Of letters, some of which
contained money and drafts. The stolen
drafts were cashed in manner worthy of
the greatest professor of Addition. Division
and Silence. This portion Of the business
was taken in charge 10y Dudley, who would
assume a different name in each place
where he carried on his operations. Select
ing a suitable town or city for his purpose.
he would establish himself in some Tepu-
table business calculated to commend him
to the confidence OF business men. after
! which he would forge an endorsement on
the draft he wished to collect, and send it
/ by express for payment. The draft beiny
/ genuine, would be cashed and before the
fraud was discovered Mr. Dudley would
sell out his business and migrate to anoth-
er locality, where he would repeat the same
operation under Il different name. This
hazardous game was played in many diff
ferent places with complete success. and
the bold rascal was only caught at last by
his confederate Wales, who had been de
tected IN piItering letters, breaking the
rule of silence. Dudley, when arrested
was living under the name of E. II. Pm,
cell, at Mattapan, near Boston where he
had purchased 4 fine cottage, and furnished
1t elegantly, from the proceeds of his Adj
tiOn and Division.
