The INDIAN QUESTION The Herald
in an editorial on our Indian policy, with
special reference to the Modoc question,
says Sheridan could have been intrusted
with the settlement of the trouble. TAX
ing advantage of General Gilem's slow
ness Captain Jack has outwitted him,
and may even now be planning fresh dep
relations far distant from the lava beds.
1t contends that the policy of the Govern
ment and the older system of gathering
the Indians on reservations have both
failed. The narrowness of these reserva-
tions gals the red man, accustomed as
he is to having the whole continent to
himself With General Sheridan man
aging our Indian relation upon the stern
principle Of Il war of determination when
the savages are at war, and directing the
breaking up and scattering Of the tribe.
at all times, it thinks there would be few.
er heartrending stories Of outrages and
that the whole question would be settled
and In few years the Indians as sepa.
la.e people would have ceased to exist
1t must come TO this in the end, and the
sooner it is consummated the better.

TaE MohoC WAR.-Since the brutal
murder Of General Candy and Rev. DR..
Thomas, active operations have been
maintained against the Modoc Indians
with the firm determination of extermi-
mating the tribe. Although every pre-
caution possible was taken it was found
that the force at command of Gen. Gillem
was too small 10 completely surround the
Redskins in the lava bed, and after three
or four days fighting the remnant of the
Mudoc band escaped from within the
military lines. After their escape they
murdered a teamster named Hovey, who
was in the Government employ, and cap
tured his team consisting of four horses.
During the three days fighting nineteen
Modocs have been killed, including one
squaw and one pappoose, that is known,
aud it is supposed that others were killed
and their bodies burned. Among the
Modoc dead were Shack-nasty Jim, Bos-
ton Charley, and John Schonchin. The
Modocs are scattered throughout the lava
bed in small parties and take great Rd-
vantage Of the troops. 1t is generally
conceded that more soldiers will be re-
quired before the war is ended.

lowing under date, Yreka, April 23d,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsHINGToN, April IL, 1873.
CURTIS AND CIVIL SERVICE.

CURTIS AND CIVIL SERVICE.
At length the letter of resignation sent
to the President by George William Cur
tis has got into print, showing that one
of the causes of his resignation was the
belief that the spirit and letters of the
civil service regulations had in some in
stances been abandoned by the executive
In certain important appointments. Nr.
Curtis is now in feeble health and the
terms Of his resignation show that while
he possibly may be raising a political
sail to the windward for his own future
benefit, he assures the President of his
most earnest efforts for the success Of his
administration.
The constitutional right and duty which
the President is sworn to sustain puts the
responsibility of the important appoint
ments not upon any civil service board
or scheme of election by subordinates,
bat upon the President himself, and
whenever the civil service regulations fail
to perform the duty Of appointments ac-
cording to the best Interests of the coun-
try, the President would be recreant to
his oath if he did not assume the respons-
ibility of making them himself. There
are, and always will be, defects and OBJ
jectjonable features in any set of arbitra-
ry rules for the appointment of Govern
ment officials that can be adopted, and
no one here pretends that the present reg
ulations are perfect in their operation.
On the contrary large number, perhaps
a majority Of the people of the country,
think them unreasonable and unfair. If
Mr.. Curtis chooses TO stand by them and
resign his post because they, in certain
excepted cases, are waived, let him see
what he can make by it. The country
will not sustain him, but will sustain the
President.
