Revenge is sweet TO the deeply
wrongcd, but is never justified, and
very seldom palliatcd even by human
law, and positively condemned by di.
vine law "Vcngeancc is NINE" saith
tho Holy Ono, therefore if human
government would fashion their prac.
ticcs according to the precepts OF the
great Lawgiyer on the inflietion of
penalties for the commission of crimes
they must divost the punishment as
much as possible Of this sinful feature
of vengeance, Just now We have a
cry for vengeance all over the land
Public journals, with but few exccp.
tions, demand tho determination of
tho Modoc Irdians for their treachery
and bloody massacre of Gen. Canby
and his companions at tho lava beds
in Northern California. Beyond doubt
these Modocs arc tad set of Indians
But they are wild and untutored sav
ages, knowing no law but that of re.
venge. And now it is stated in late
dispatches from the Pacific that this
cruel murder was but ono of revenge
for a similar act Of treachery and
murder committed by whilo officers,

We must not forget this fact 1t was
but two or three years since this ex.

upon tho Piogans by Gen. Sheridan,
in which ono or two hundred Indians,
including their women and children,

Truths from the Right Source.

General Farnsworth, from the third
Congressional district Of Illinois, has
appropriated his share Of back nav
toward the abatement OF taxes in his
district, on tho theory that each dis.
.rict pays its own member, and Oh the
supposition that some members will
retain their share. II he were TO re.
turn his 10 the United States Treasury,
the amount would still be paid BY bis
district. Besides" he adds, "if il
werc returned 10 tho National Treas.
ury, IL would always bo a tempting
subject for a claim either for myself
or my representatives" In his letter
on this subject hc presents somo col
lateral facts OF Importance in pointing
out the rotton foundation on which
this whole movement in favor OF in.
creased pay for the President and
other officers rests. General Farms.
worth declares the plea that larger
salaries are necessary 10 enable Pres.
ident and members Of Congress to live
respectfully in Washington is not true
No other President has "asked for
more" Mr.. Lincoln saved half his
salary, and that, too, when gold was
200 and over, And yet the allowances,
"incidcntals," and 'contingencieso for
Mr. Lincoln were far less liberal than
for the present occupant Of tho White
House. Some Of the items voted for
Lincoln in 1864, and Grant in 1878
arc worth consideration. For Private
Secretary, Steward and Messenger,
Lincoln was allowed $1,000. For tho
same officers and two additional ones,
Grant is allowed sl3,S00. For con.
tingent expenses Lincoln was given
$4,000. This item is increased to So
600 for Grant. Fuel cost Lincoln 81
400; Grant has $4,000 for that pur.
pose. For repairs OF house, for furni
ture, for improving grounds, purchase
OF plants and all contingencies, Con
gross voted Lincoln $4,000. This item
is raised TO $4,000 for Grant. The
samo measure OF advance Is put upon
oil the items of expense in favor of
General Grant, and yet there is moth
ing in tho circumstances of tho case
to warrant such a course. Articles
have not advanced beyond the price

his wife and child, and the two latter

OF Hastings, perished while trying to

wife and child Of Mr. Bent, living
near Red Cloud, were frozen while at,
tempting TO reach their neighbors af.
ter the house had been uninhabitable.
Their bodies were found on Friday
ten rods from the house. Families
were compelled to take refuge in eel
lars or keep their beds for three days.
Houses wero blown down and filled
with snow. The destruction Of cat
