T,r .Monocs Cont TooI bo,o+

The MoDocs-Capt. Jack has at
last been captured, and the Modoc
war is ended. The question is
now, what disposition shall we
make of the captives. 1t is said by
the highest military authority that
the Modocs could not surrender as
"prisoners of war;" in the sense
known to nations, where war is de-
clared in accordance with constitu-
ted forms. Not having been so
received, they are not entitled to
consideration as prisoners of war.
The orders issued to the Command
ing General directly after the as.
sassinatioh of General Candy and
Rev. DR.. Thomas were not to ex.
terminate the Modocs; but it was
said that their conduct had been
such that their determination would
be justifiable; thus leaving the
matter to the discretion Of Gen
Davis. Therefore, if he had order
ed the killing of these Indians, be
would not have been censured by
superior authority. As to their
final disposition, no one questions
that they will ultimately be. deliv.
cred to the Government of Oregon
for trial.

has addressed a circular to the rep

elaring that the difference between
the majority of Deputies in the
Assembly and M. Thiers was not
on his foreign, but his domestic
policy; the late Cabinet not offer

new Government, he continues,
will be moderate at home and pa
cifc abroad. All attempts at revo-
luton viii be vigorously opposed,
without attacking existing institu-
tions.

South Carolina State Dental Esso
citation.

This body, composed of sur
geon dentists from the differ
ent Counties of this State, convened
in annual meeting, on Thursday, in
the hall of the Palmetto Fire En-
CINE Company, Columbia. DR.
Thomas T. Moore, President, took
the Chair.
Among the delegates present we
observed the name of our towns
man, DR.. J. S. Thompson, who was
elected Secretary Of the meeting
The President delivered a very
appropriate address to the society
congratulating them upon their re-
union, and calling especial attention
to Section 2 of the Constitution
which is as follows:
It's object shall be to contribute
to the elevation of the dental pro
fession in South Carolina, by en-
couraging free and liberal inter
change Of opinions on methods O
practice, and the literary; discus
sions of subjects relating to dentis'
try; to advance the standard o1
dental education; to promote the
usefulness, honor and interest OF
its members. and to enlighten and
direct public opinion in regard to
the duties, responsibilities and re-
ouirements of the dental profession.
Various committees were ap-
pointed, and the Association re-
mained in session three days, during
which various interesting essays
and reports were read, and much
useful discussion entered into.
The Association adjourned Sat-
urday afternoon, to meet in the city
of Charleston, on the third Tues.
tlay in June, 1874, at halfpast g.
o'clock. It was a very harmonious
and interesting session. A vote of
thanks was returned to Mr.. Theo.
NJ. Pollock, of the Wheeler House,
and also to the railroad companies,
for courtesies extended to the
members of the Association. The
officers were elected to
serve for the ensuing year: W. 3.

the dullncss is only BROKEN by the
county officers who occasionally visit
there to settle their accounts. The
most of them have complied with the
law in this respect and the showing
made is EVIDENCE that the people OF
the State have met the taxes with
unusual promptness. AS the warm
weather advances, the officials com
mence to talk Of cooler places. Gov
ernor Moses has been absent since
Sunday last, at his home in Sumter,
and consequently there have been no

made are ths constitutionaiity Of The

State and the bond holders, which II
is held is made more perfect by the
