LIEUT.. GOVERNOR.

Many names have been mentioned
throughout the State in connection
with the Office of Lieut.. Governor,
but none strike us more favorable
than that of Hon. JOSEPH DYsART,
at present State Senator from the
asth District, composed OF Tama
and Poweshiek counties. Mr.. Dysari
is a resident of Tama county,
about SO years old, farmer by oc'
cupation, and has been resident OF
Iowa about II years. He is a man
of much ability and learning, voted
with the friends of the tariff bill in
the late session, and is a man that
would be every way acceptable to
the masses of people should they
see fit to elect him to the position
of President of the Senate.

For some days it has been report
ed that the Modocs had disappeared.

been found with a vengeance. Or

the Indians in that part of the

Central Grange, of Tama Co., the
residence of Jas. Wilkinson, State
Overseer, passed resolutions repudia.
ting the proposed nomination of that
gentlemen for Lieut.. Governor. AT
ter three whereases the following
resolutions were adopted:
Resolued, that although we recognize the
services and ability of said Wilkinson, we
exceedingly regret that his antecedent S
are such that We cannot give him out sup
port without a violation OF our sense OF
propriety and right.
ResOlUed, also, that to protect our Order
from the impositions of designing men, it
would seem proper that those desiring Of
fee should make the first movement at
home, thereby securing an endorsement of
their fitness from those who should know
most of their past record.
Wonder if The "antecedents" date
back to the days of our civil war :?
The Tama county Citizen says if he
is farmer it must be in some other
county than that.

Nv reouest-From the Lawrence (Kan.) journal
MR.. BEEDE'S REPORT.

We publish this morning the inter-
esting report of chief clerk Beede to
Supe rintendent Hoag, concerning his
recent visit to the Indian tribes OF
this superintendency. Many facts
of interest concerning the Indians,
their supplies, schools, &C., will be
found in 1t. The main object OF Mr..
Beede's visit seems to have been 10
consult with the Indians regarding
the nroposed release of the imprison-
ed chiefs Satanic and Big Tree. He
accused them of not living up to
their agreement, made last year, to
remain at home and au peace with
the whites, but of raiding into Texas.
Their reply to this was that the acts
complained of were committed by a
band of young outlaws one of whom
had killed his own tather), who had
fed to avoid punishment by the tribe,
and that they were no more RESPONSE
BILE for their acts than the white
people were for acts of similar char
acters among them.
In regard to the late assault on the
surveying party, the Cheyennes did
not, it seems, acknowledge the kill
ing of four meu whose murder was
lately recorded in the Journal, but
sontended that their country was be-
ing surveyed contrary to their will,
and that the soldiers had killed some
of their young men not long since.
The Indians have sent in o very
humble petition for the release OF
Satanic and Big Tree. MIR. Beede
seems to think that their release
might be made the occasion for new
pledges of peace on the part Of all
the wild tribes.
The entire document is full of in
terest, and will we'll pay perusal.

The Grinnell Herald says: "Rep
resentative Walden has decided the
"back-pay" in his own case and in a
way that does honor to his head and
heart. He has disposed of it in a
way that places it beyond his power
to take back. Representatives un-
doubtedly have the right in law to
take this back-pay and use it, but
while they have the legal right, we
believe they are under obligations
not to touch the money for their own
private use. Representative Walden

The Mndne War.

The reports from the seat of war are
not encouraging even to those few who
thought that the treachous murder of
Genearl CANEY should not be too vindic-
lively avenged. In the late encounter
that General GILLEM's forces had with
the savages the latter were driven from
their stronghold among the lava beds by
the artillery, but their killed and wound
ed were altogether insignificant, and much
less han those of the whites. Worse
than this remains to be told. the fact that
the Modocs effected a successful retreat
being indubitable.
We have no doubt that General GILLEM
did all that was possible to prevent such
an important conclusion to his attack, but,
nevertheless, the result is to be regretted,
not only because justice demanded the
serverest punishment Of every Indian in
any way responsible for the killing Of
CANDY, but because the band, having
escaped to the mountains, it can further
set the authority of the government at
defiance, and, from its new and strong
hiding places, make for avs against the
unarmcd settlers of the up country.
The retreat of the Indians was discov-
cred early on the morning of the 18th
inst but it appears that the cavalry did
not begin pursuit until late the same
night, giving The enemy fifteen or eigh
teen hours advantage in getting away
The capture, by the regular troops, of the.
lava beds amounts to nothing, the terri
tory was of 20 consequence whatever
without the Indians, and no matter what
insurmountable obstacles were in General
GILLEM's way, preventing him from ob
structiDg the escape Of the savages, the
country will not learn with feelings of
satisfaction that they have escaped. Be
tween them aud the whites there can
never be any more talks of peace, and
they know it. From the whites they eau
not expect any better treatment than ex
termination, aud, as a result. their whole
policy will be one of robbery and murder.
If General GILLEM is ceusured by the
country for permitting them to retreat
successfully from before his troops, it will
be his own fault, for no longer ago than
Saturday last we printed his despatch to
SHERMAN ia which he said that none
should escape.

THE MODOC MASSACRE
Additional Particulars of the Massacre

The following additional particulars OF
the massacre of the Peace Commissioners
has been received. Captain Anderson
was at Colonel Mason's camp when the
attack was made on the Peace Commits,
sion and party.
lie says Lientcnants Sherwood and
Doyle were allured out from the camp by
a white flag ]; they went from 400 to 500
yards, where they met what they sup
supposed were only two Indians, who said
they would like to talk to Little Tyce"
I Colonel Mason) They were told that
they (the ofhcers) did not want to talk
and for the Indians ia go back to their
camp and they would return to theirs
AS the officers turned around the Indians,
four in number; fred upon them, wound
ing Lieutenant Sherwood in the arm and
thigh.
Captain Anderson was on duty at the
signal station on Hospital Rock. and saw
plainly the attack upon Col. Mason's
front, and telegraphed General Gillem to
uotify the Peace Commissioners immed
lately. Colonel Biddle, who was at the
sigual station as General Gillem's head
quarters when the message was received,
at once placed his field glass upon Gen
eral Candy, as the party sat together,
about a mile off, and very soon afterwards
perceived the whole party scattered.
The colonel followed the generals
course with his glass while he ran about
fifty yards, when he threw up his arms
aud fell backward dead. Two of the In
dams who were following him, aud one
believed to be Captain Jack, stabbed him
in the neck. His body was afterwards
completely stripped. DR.. Thomas was al
so completely stripped. His purse, con
tanning about $50. was found under his
body, the Indians having dropped it
Meacham was shot in three places, one
ball entering at the inner corner of his
right eye. another inside his head, and a
third passing through his right forearm
The first two balls are both believed to
have lodged in his Uranium. He also re.
ceivcd a cut on the left arm and a scalp
wound about five inches long. He was
found about fifty yards from the spot
where the slaughter began, in an opposite
direction from that taken by Candy
He was also entirely stripped, and when
found was bewildered ia mind. Captain
Anderson spent an hour with him yester-
day, when he was conscious and in no
pain.
Meacham says he thinks he shot
Schonchin in the abdomen, and blood
was found, which indicated that one In.
dian had been wounded. The soldiers
who were ready started on a double quick
