nation for the District Attorney.
In February James King, the lawyer
now dying in the Tombs, told a gentleman that
his health was steadily failing. He showed his
hands, which were covered with chilblin-, and
said his constitution was too feeble to With
stand the damn and freezing atmosphere of the
prison. II is now beyond the range Of pruba-
hilty that King win ever lie called upon to
answer at any earthly tribunal. His strength l.
so nearly exhausted that he cannot get out uf
his he'd. His thin, pale face, sunken eyes, and
emaciated form indicate speedy dissolution.
He speaks above whisper, with painful effort
only and hts appetite is gone. But even IN this
extremity he utters no complaint and declines
any favors. Warden johnson and Dr Nealis
have petitiuned the District Attorney to order
his removal 20 a hospital, but that ofiicer limits
his duty to making daily Inquiries about Kings
condition.

new arrivals that all the slaves who had
remained bchini in Porto Rico had been
declared free by the republican Govern
ment of Madrid, and that the sole object
OF their tran,h pment To Cuba was TO re-

living at Washington, and the necessity
imposed upon the President of spending
in entertainments and otherwise at least
s25, 600 year, or even more This apology
is frivolous. During Mr.. LTSCoLNs term
the expenses of living were even greater
than they are now; and yet in four years
Mr. LINCOLN saved from his salary between
$4,000 and $4,000. Besides, Gen. GRANT is
n very thrifty and economical man. He
travels Il good deal, II is true, but he pays
no fare; and ne has n country seat at Long
Branch, but that was presented to him,
with the furniture that II contains. He
was undoubtedly on the day of his second
Inauguration far richer man than ever
before. and vet on the pretext that he was
poorer this increase OF his pay was given
him.
No wonder that corruption grows and
extends when such an example j. set by
the President of the United states.

last year, where a new patent bridge o1
wood and iron, gave way like kindling
wood, under train. Only last Sunday q
" patent truss bridge at Dixon, H., gave
way under the weight of crowd assem-
blcd to witness a baptism IN the Rock river,
and "A lives were lost. On Monday last
the construction work Of bridge over the
Lamoine river, IA miles from Sedalia, Mo,
bridge timbers killing three men, wound
ing two others mortally, and six seriously.
This itself was equal to an ordinary rail
way accident, and it is fortunate that the
treacherous nature of the bridge founda-
tions was discovered before tho trains q
the Kansas and Texas railroad could sacri-
fee any more lives upon it.
The high bridges over which the Lake
Superior and Mississippi railway makes its
approach to the Lake, on the north bank of
the St. Louis river, have often called forth
warning remark and prophecies of danger,
for the two reasons that they are of unusu-
al height, (the highest being l 10 feet above
the bottom of the ravine it spans) and that
unprotected timber in this climate seems to
rot IN a very fer gears. The bridges in
question are thought to be well built, but
they should be well protected from the
weather by heavy painting, kyanizing, or
other device, or they will be too unsafe to
use in three years from date.

The State Journal Of recent date, gives
the following items in reference to the per-
sonal make up Of the new Geological Sur
vey Corps:
| We learn that on the recommendation of Dr. / A.
Lapham the Chief Geoogist, under the law of last
winter authorizing Geological Survey of the State
Governor Washburn has appointed the following gen
! tlemen assistants
! Prof Roland Irving, of the State University
Prof T. c. Chamberlain, of the Whitewater Normal
School
Moses Strong A. NJ, Of Mineral Point
| We understand that the chemical work of the sur
vey will be in charge of Prof W. ". Daniels of the
State University (who by the way, strangely con-
founded by some people with Prof Edward Daniels
formerly State Geologist)
Prof Irwin, professor of Geology, Mining and
Metalurgy in the State University, is graduate of
Columbia College and its school of mines and is rec
ments in the duties of his department and admirably
qualified to take charge Of this survey
Prof. Chamberlin, now Professor of Natural Scien-
of the State Normal School, is graduate of Beloit
College, and pursued special course in Geology
Mneraogy and kindred sciences at the University of
Michigan In his chair Whitewater in papers read
before the Academy of Arts and Sciences and else
where, he has demonstrated special fitness for the
work of this survey.
Mr.. Moses Strong is young man, son Of Hon. No
ses N. Strong, Of Mineral Point, native Of Wscoa-
SIM graduate of Yale, believe, and has since pur-
sued very thorough of studies the schools
OF mines in Heidelberg and Freibcrg, Germany, to fit
himself for a mining engineer He has also had field
experience in the survey of the Wisconsin Central
Railroad and Northern Pacific Railroad AID we are
assured is emnently qualified for this work
Of the high character and skill in analytical chem
istry OF PIof Daniels need speak, as they are
pretty well known to the people of the State
We understand that the Commissioners will coop
crate in all their work, but Prof Irving will give spe
clai attention to the Iron region in Ashland county
where the survey is to commence, and Mr.. Strong
the lead mining region, with which from long resi-
dence, he is specially familiar The Commissioners
expect to spend the months of June july August and
September in the field
Two of the Commissioners are already connected
with State institutions, but understand there will
be no drawing double pay, and the duties of the differ
ent positions will be so arranged not to conflict
with each other.
W ith such a commission, so organized the best re-
suits may we think, be confidently expected. We
hope that while the Commissioners will keep in mind
that practical results at early dav what the
people desire more than display of scientific learn
ing, the people will become impatient for results
until sufficient time has elapsed for thorough in
vestgation.

1t is but justice to the murderous Modocs,

weeks before the massacre:
General Canby's suggestions. were accepted by the
Commission and would probably have resulted IN the
surrender of the Indians if the latter had not been
scared by the statement of named Blair par
doned convict residing in Oregon, who told them he
had warrant to hang nine OF them when they came
in and gave themselves up These Indians have cause
TO be afraid of treachery years before, Ben
Wright murdered fortyseven Of their tribe at
feast; therefore such statement totally DESTROYED
the negotiations Of weeks, and the work will have

life. Blair and Ben Wright are as guilty
as bloody Jack and jim 1t was Simon
Girty and other renegades from the whites
who melted the Indian wars of the early
part Of this century Let the bIood-houn6ls

should be driven out Of the Indian country,
