This Council has called q conven-
ton to meet in Cleveland, Ohio, on
the 18th Of next month. They invite
"every trade organization 'in the
United States, be it local, State or ma
tional, every anti-monopoly, every
cooperative or other association, or
ganized on purely protective princl-
pies" to send bona fde delegates to
this convention. This call is inten-
ded to include the Farmers Gran
ges" " and all other anti-railroad socie-
ties, and if the call should be respOn-
ded to by any considerable proper
ton Of the societies organized in op-
position to the exactions of wealthy
monopolies this Cleveland Convention
viii be a huge affair in point of num-
bers if in nothing else. The great
difficulty that all anti-monopoly asso-
citation have to encounter is want Of
! unity among themselves. Perhaps
this trouble may be remedied at some
future time, but just now there is but
little harmony. Of feeling, but little
sympathy, between the !" Trades I'm
ions" and the "Farmers' Oranges"
and there is absolutely no prospect Of
any unity Of action in their opposition
to monopolies even for years to come.

regions has been decided upon and
the United States Steamer Juniata
has been selected for that purpose.
Commander Braine will have charge
of the expedition. The Juniata is
now lying at the Boston Navy Yard
and is wooden screw steamer of e2a
tons. She has been recently over
hauled and put in thorough repair,
and will be ready to sail in a few
days. III
The design Of this expedition is lin
tied to the search for the Polaris and
the return Of the Esquimaux to their
homes. No provision will be made
for scientific observations. It is sup
posed that the search for the North
Pole will not be attempted again for
years. s5' Hyft 5,s sA# a ALEKI.

ANOTHER CARD,

sIece publishing my card q the
readers q the CHIyr relative % the
Indictment presented against Me by
the Grand Jury of this parish, l have
been informed by. the District Attor-.
ney that the structures upon his al
legged connection with the matter con-
tanned in that card were wholly un-
warranted and unjust, and could only
have proceeded from personal i'll will
or a misappr relepsion Of the facts of
the case. I disclaim any motive Of. a
personal nature, and admit that there
is presumption that was deceived
as to the influence exerted by the
District Attorney upon the Grand
Jury in the case under consideration.
That official informs me positively
and asks that | take steps to ascer-
tain the truth Of his assertions-that
he was not present in the jury room
i
when witnesses were examined that,
therefore, he put no interrogatories to
said witnesses; that he expressed an
opinion to the Grand Jury chat no
case could be made against me; that
he said to Auditor Clinton and Gov
ernor Kellogg that there was "noth-
| ing in the Indictment" In justice to
the Attorney as well as to myself I
shall speedily investigate the matter
as thoroughly as possible, and if !
find his representations correct, moth
ing can give me greater pleasure than
to acknowledge the misconstruction
placed upon his actions in my card of
two weeks since, and make as full an
| an,entle honorable as can be desired.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

3-s ss WASHINGTON, ID. T., June IA, 1873.
EDITOR CHIEF: &@-4 Ts
A correspondent Of San Francisco
paper has been doing the Modoc bus
mess and now we are informed of the
reason that led General Davis to take
the preparatory steps for the sum
mary execution Of the prisoners in his
hands. That officer was interviewed
and long statement was drawn out
Of him explaining his act. His rea-
sons for proceeding to punish them
by immediate hanging may be sum-
med up briefly, thus: He had no
doubt as to their guilt; he deemed a
trial before an Oregon civil court a
perfect faIce in view of the prevail
ing sentiment there he knew a trial
before a military commission would
be attended with delays and expense;
he believed the Modocs incapable of
understanding the meaning Of trial,
as they look upon such things as a
sort Of jugglery land lastly, the mur-
ders and arrests oceurredi in both CAL
ifornia and Oregon, making the case
a mixed question Of jurisdiction, etc.
We are also furnished with General
Davis written address to Captain
Jack explaining why that individual
was to be hanged. lie cites murders
by the wholesale and dyells at length
upon the Kindness and forbcarance
of the government in not extermina-
ting the entire tribe years ago, but
does not state whether or not the In
dians have always been treated we'll
by the adventures of the frontier.
He denounccs him as an outlaw, and
informs him that the government has
been to great expense in capturing
him. He concludes his address in
the following words: "I will close
this interview by informing you that
| have this day directed that you and
your confederates, members of your
band, he executed at sunset to-mor-
row in the presence Of the troops,
your people, and the assembled citi-
zens Of thu country"
General Davis, in speaking of the
sentimentf existing in that portion Of
the county toward the Modocs, ad-
mits thatNEthe threats of the people
and the recent bloody act i'll this
neighborlood, when four old, defense-
less capdu en- route from Fair
cllild's ratch to this camp, were mur-
dered by. civilians, indicate that a
trial BY {iru law acoaM be a useless
farce; thxt I" the people have made up
their nai,t1s that the prisoners are
guilty" 1T does not seem to have oc-
CURED to him that by parity of rea-
soning his Judgment in the case is
equally farcical. He regards the judg-
ment Of a civil court farce because
the persons who would be called upon
to hear the case have made up their
minds on the subject, but admits that
he had also made up his mind to the
same thing, yet was proposing to con-
stitute himself judge, jury and execu-'
toner at the same time, and that with
cur any authority of law written or
unwritten. Our calmer judgments
will tell us that it was well that his
hand was stayed by the telegram
from this city reading: "Hold the
prisoners until further orders. y

the main entrance of the building

smart young wag named Swartz

the disciple of Esculapius provided
himself with q tea kettle Of water,

alongside the pipe. Pretty soon
