TIE NTODoC TRIAL.

At last the farce which has been going
on for the last few days at Fort Kla-
math, Oregon, has closed, and Captain
Jack and his fellows have been aston
ished and awe-struck by the dignity of
a Court of Justice, and have felt sense
of their insigniflcance and savage state,
by the magnificent and royal manner in
which a criminal trial is conducted be-
fore military commission. We have a
great respect for all the machinery of
Justice, and have many times felt called
upon to enforce the propriety of always
showing a becoming consideration for
the lawful tribunals of the country but
there is something very ludicrous in a
squad of gayly dressed officers of the
regular army, encircled by crimson
sashes, and wearing polished side arms,
sitting in solemn conclave to pass judge
ment upon half naked savages, who APP
preciate just enough of what is going on
to wonder what new game the boys in
good clothes are playing.
The report reads that the evidence for
the prosecution was of the most positive
character, leaving no doubt of the guilt
of the prisoners. This is certainly sat
isfactory, but as everybody, including
the members of the commission knew all
about it, and the Indians themselves
were willing to plead guilty to all the
facts charged, as fast as they were made
to understand what was urged against
them, it appears to be waste of time
and dignity to keep them dancing at
tendance for a week upon trial the ma
ture of which they do not under
stand, and the result of which they de
spise.
General jeff. @. Davis felt the ridicu-
lousness Of a military commission, and

of which they were confessedly guilty,

was the summary and radical way OF
dealing with this question

Oregon applied to the authorities to have

partaking of neither the learning or dig
nifty of civil court, nor the directness
and summary jurisdiction of court
martial, and set it to work disgusting the
gaping frontiersmen and half-breeds who
stay in the vicinity of Fort Klamath.
Our people have not become very famil-
lar with military commissions and
thoughts of them are associated with the
case of Mrs. Surratt. But we are
told this mode of trial was selected be-
cause the jurisdiction is summary and
direct, and the government could not af-
ford the delay of regular court. Let
us review the naodus operdndt of this
tribunal. The trial is now closed, the
testimony is given and reduced to writ

dence and finding of the court, this will
be submitted for the action of General

considered as ready for the perusal
of His Excelleney quite yet, for
Judge Advocate General Holt must
peruse it, and he is expected to
settle the soundness of the Attor-
ney Generals opinion as to the proper
way of disposing of the Modocs. Then
the President takes the document tc

News SIxrY YEARS AGO.--We have
before as a copy of the RUTLAND Her
AID of June II, 1909 1t contains news
from Washington of the Eleventh Con-
gress, a month old. There is a letter
from New Haven, giving the particulars
of an earthquake shock which shook up
the people in that vicinity on the 25th
of May preceding. The sheet has a post
script, and it seems that the printer
stopped his press to get in the news Of
the declaration of war by Austria against
France, which had been published in
the London papers the first week in May
some six weeks previous to its announce
ment here, and nearly three months
after the declaration had transpired.
The paper contains a column account of
rejoicings in various quarters over the
resumption of commercial relations with
Great Britain, and says; sit gives US
much pleasure to find that all parties re-
ioice on the restoration of commercial
intercourse with Great Britain, and we
hope there are no professions of JOY on
this occasion but what are truly sincere "

An Accident.

Late on last Monday night, a man

Of o. w. Childs, was thrown from his
horse on Main street and seriously in
jured. On yesterday DIR. +. p. Howard
brought him for treatment to DIR.
X. ID. Wise, who, after careful
examination, pronounced him to be
suffering from cOncussiOn Of the
brain. The remarkableness of this
case is, that although OchOva is
completely idiOtic since his fall, yet
no outward sign of injury is visible on
his head or body. He has resided in
this city short time, having lately
come from Mexico.
