MODOC.
Commissioner Meacham Interviewed,
"-""-- |--"---
Details of the Candy Massacre.

Meacham's Views of Future Policy.
NEW YORK, June 21-A. B. Meacham,
chairman of the Peace Commission to treat
with the Modocs, and who narrowly es-
capped the fate of his associates, Gen.
Candy and DR.. Thomas, is in this city, on
his way to Fort Klsm9th, where the mill
tary commission for the trial of the captur-
ed members of the band, will sit. Meach-
am can make no use of his right-hand, the
nerves of which were paralyZed by q ball,
through the wrist. Ths foreinger of his
lefC hand is twice the natural size. There
still remains slight scar on the fore
head, from ball, and from same cause
lump is on the right side of the head.
Other wounds received on the ear, in the
side and elsewhere, b&ve entirely healed.
His storg of the treachery which resulted
in the death of Candy and
Thomas is but reiteration
of that already told. Mescham says him
self and the other Commissioners had full
information of the fate in store for them,
but as Candy and Thomas would not &C
cept warning, be could not remain behind
while they went into danger. Twas Captain
Jack who gave the signal for the slaughte +
anu suOt Ocli. Oanol, WDHS Olu ScDancn'n
attended to himself with pistol aud knife.
Of the issue ofthe forthcoming trial be ex-
pressed no doubt. The Modocs who par
tcipated in the assassination will be con-
victed aud executed. The effect of a virtua
acquittsl or pardon would be disastrous.
With such result before their eyes, the
turbulence Of other tribes could not be
restrained.
The white men who massacred the Mo
doc prisoners should be ha~ ged, Meacham
thinks, on the same gallows with the In
dian murderers, During the war the Mo-
docs killed and wounded about three sol
diers for every warrior in their force. At
no time numbering more than sixty-five,
and that during the first three dsys' fight,
this band not cnly held out against 800
troops armed with every appliance of mod
ern warfare, but kept passage open for
retreat which even the Warm Spring
scouts could not close. Meacham advises
that those not guilty Of participation in the
be remanded to their reservation.
To distribute them among other tribes
would be punishment to some only.
His icea of the bes! policy for the future
is that all tribal lines be abolished; that the
Indians be made amenable 10 the Laws and
be plsced on the same footing with other
OF the community.

investigated the cause of the q by which
the Western bound mail from this city was
destroyed, and reports that the through
mails were placed in common baggage
car. They filled the rear end of the car
from top to bottom for about one third of

luggage. On top of the car at the rear end
was an uncovered stove-pipe hole. The
baggage man did not ride in the car from
Rochester to Batavia, but was iu the smOk-
ing car and had left no one in his place.
The flames were not discovered until the
door was opened at Batavia, when the
mails were found to be in full blaze. Water
was let in from the tank spout, and what
was not burned was wet down.

They took Mcclure from the jail, carried
him some distance away and questioned
him as to his guilt, after which they re-
turned him to the jail, having apparently
satisfied themselves and determined to

years. There has been considerable feeling

Of certain parties and to the detriment of the

A resolution was introduced on Change

ON TO OWENSBORO.
Enthusiastic Meeting I'm Favor OF the
OWensbOrO, RuSsellVIIIe and Nash
Vile Railroad, Held at Newburgh-
Active Preparations for SeryeyIng

the Route
From the Evansville Courier, june 20.
Col r. S. Bevier, Vice President Of the
OWensboro, Russellville and Nashville rail-
road, seems to be an indomitable worker,
and man not easily overcome. He arrived
in the city yesterday, from NewOurgb, hav-
ing addressed a large and enthusiastic crowd
at that place, Wednesday night, relative TO
the construction of his road. He fouJd the
people of Newburgh ready and anxious that
the read should come their way. Col. Be-
vier succeeded in raising one-hslf of the
money necessary TO complete the survey
between Evansville and OWensb0ro, and
will obtain the remainder in Owensboro.
1t is thought, also, that Newburgh will sub
scribe literally to the construction. Three
miles of the route are already graded be-
yond Newburgh, being part OF the bed OF
the old North and South Road. A survey
ing party will be put in the field next week.
The following letter from our correspond
ent speaks farther of the matter:
NEwBERG, June 10, 1673.-Colonel X
s. Bevier, Vice President of the Ovens
boro, Russelville and Nashville Railroad,
visited Newturg on last evening, and an
nounced that be would address the citizens
on the propriety of having the road to pass
through Newburg, from Evansville to
Owensboro. On the short notice ne had
a large crowd. His speech was received
with great enthusiasm. There was be-
tween one and two hundred dollars donated
to defray the expense of surveying the
route on the north side of the Ohio river.
Colonel Bevier is the right man in the right
place. Now, fellow citizens of Evansville,
will you lend US a helping hand, as this is
the day, and the only day of our salvation?
Come to our assistance and let us join hand
in hand, aud you will see that Ohio town
ship will vote the tax, not as Bonneville,
who thinks she has road without money.
PROGRESS.
At the other end of the line, matters are
moving in the right direction. Colonel
Bev.er finished last night at Springfield,
Tennessee, a successful course Of the
Springfield and Cedar Hill routes, and
although it rained almost inces sanity, and
the streams were greatly swollen, the peo-
pie came out and evinced very considerable
favor for the movement. Two surveying
parties are now in the field, down there.
