The MoDocs.-The cause Of the late out
breaking on the part Of .he Modoc Indians,
by which fifteen or twenty lives have already
been sacrificed, was their unwillingness to be
removed to the Reservation assigned them.
They expressed themselves as willing to go on
a reservation in their own country but not TO
be taken beyond its limits. Governor Booth
recommends that 5000 acres of land on Lost
River be set aside for their use and the De
partmeut has taken the matter under advise
ment
But this does not alter the duty of those
to whose care the lives and property of the
people Of the State is for the time being en-
trusted. The whole power of the State should
| if necessary, be brought to bear against those
hostile Indians. and the homes of the set
tiers on our north eastern frontier rendered
as safe at the Executive Mansion at Sacra-
msuto. The settlers have appealed to Cover.
nor Booth for aid but the aid is not forth com
ing. That funcsiouary does not feel him
self authorized to saddle such an expense up.
on the people of the State. For the future
we suppose any band Of Indians who feel
themselves aggrieved, can rob and murder
with impunity 30 far as Governor Booth
is concerned, and il the settlers do not organ
ize to protect themselves, they can leave
their bomesteads until sufficient number
of United States troops are transported to the
scene of outbreak. to subdue the savages, anc
afford protection. This quibbling action O.
our Executives may encourage the Indian,
to try their hand in other quarters.

THE YOSEMITE VALLEY. The United States
Supreme Court has decided adverse to the
claim of j. c. Hutchings, to a portion OF
the Yosemite Valley. Hutchipgs settled in
the Valley years ago, and located possess
ory claim some time after Congress granted
the Valley to the State of California, Hutch
ings then came lefore the Legislature with
his claim and a bill was introduced giving
to him. and to j. c. Lamon another settler
in the Valley, title to 160 acres of land each.
The bill was vetoed by Governor Haight,
passed over his veto by large majority in
both branches of the Legislature, but by
some remissness of duty on the part of the
Clerk of the Assembly was not returned to
the office of the Secretary of State, and in
corporated among the published laws. In
our opinion Hutchings is as fairly entitled
to his claim at Yosemite as if it had been To-
Gated in the Sacramento Valley instead, and
Congress and our legislature should jointly
take such action as may be pecessary to
give him his rights.

SLIGHTLY INCONSISTENT.

The Cincinnati Gazette, it strikes US, i:
slightly inconsistent. Thus it says
"The act OF Congress awarding increased
pay TO members for past and future servi'
ces has already been pas led upon by the
country and condemned. 1t is condemned,
first, because of the sneaking way in which
it was put through; and, second, because ii
was not believed to be Just. So far as re-
CARDS the votes of those who went out OF
Congress on the 4th of March and those
Who remain, there is 10 difference. One
set had contracted with the people to work
for $1,000 a year and the contract was out.
The other set made the same contract, but
had not fulfilled it. The question
now with the people is not so much the
money taken or to be taken out of the
Treasury as the sneskiug and cowardly
way in which it vas done"
Now Grant was under precisely the same
kind Of contract that the members of the
Forty sec ond and Forty-third Congress are,
and yet the Gazette approves Of the in
crease of his salary, Notwithstanding "the
sneaking and cowardly way in which it
was done" Grant should not be allowed
to escape Just Censure in connection with
this ''grab," for he could have defeated the
whole job, and would, no doubt, have done
SO but for the hundred thousand dollars it
put in his own pocket.

THE CENTRAL UNEVERSTTY OF THE
METHODIST CHURCH.

Are the citizens Of Nashville aware of the
Importance of their making some effort to
secure the location of this university at
this point? Are they doing anything to ac-
complish this result? We see that the other
cities of the State are actively at work.
Nashville has as yet done but little. A
writer 10 the Memphis appeal says:
Let Nashville consent to strive for this
prize with Memphis, aud, my word for it.,
she Will have to offer the bishops two humid
rea-thoussnd dollars and even more, or be
disappointed In her hopes. What say you,
gentlemen Of Memphis, not only Metho-
dists, but citizens Of every class-men of
capital and men of business, who can look
beyond a year, or even decade, into the
generations TO cOTne-cannot you see here
an interest worthy of enlightened liPerality
and timely action?
At an unusually large meeting of the
Memphis Chamber Of Commerce on the
oath, the following was adopted:
Whereas, having learned that Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Esq, of New York, has dona-
ted 100000 for the purpose of building a
university for The Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, and whereas, we believe
the objects aud purposes Of that munifcent
donation will be most efficiently and Ger
taiuly cured by its erection ia this city or
vicinity, this being about the centre Of the
territory interested; therefore, resolved, that
the President of this Chamber b9 request
ed TO appoint committee Of fifteen, whose
duty it shall be to prepare an address to The
Bishops having the matter in charge, set
ting forth the advantages of our city, and
10 present such other arguments and in
ducemenIs as they may deem proper to in
fuence the erection Of said university in or
near Memphis Resolved, That the ely
press md citizens generally, be requested
to cooperate in accomplishing the desired
result.
The Trustees Of this University are now
il session in this city. We hope thai cur
citizens win bestir themselves. 1t is not
too late for US TO present the proper induce
ments to make the location here a certain
ty. II we fail to get It, it will be from lack
of energy and liberalily.

ANOTHER KANSAS INTRIGUE

KaLsas politicians are VIGOROUSLY cor
ruLt, and the evidences of Intrigue over the
vacant SenaUoIship in that State are already
coming to the surface. The Washington
correspondent to the Cincinnati CONNER
ciaL states that since Pomeroy's downfall
thai worthy has been potent element
against Caldwell, in the lone that he might
succeed to the vacancy. Pomeroy has
wors ed quietly, and yet effectively, to have
Caldwell expelled. Gov. Osborne, of Kan
sas, has also been in Washington for some
time, and his influence has been decidedly
against keeping Caldwell in the Senate.
The correspondent adds:
"It was feared in several quarters that
Gov. Osborne might appoint Pomeroy to
ill the vacancy until the Legislature should
assemble next fall, bat the Governor stated
positively to-day that he would have moth
ing TO do with PomeToy, and that be would
not make any appointment until next De-
cember, aud not hen until he had consult
ed with the leading men If his State. Its
suggested that the Governor has an ambi-
ton to FIJI The vacancy himself"
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette makes this statement IN
der cate of March q:
There is q vast amount Of intriguing 90
ing on among Kansas men TO night over
the successorship. Gov. Osborne is known
TO be an aspiran5 for election by the Legis-
lature next winter to fill the unexpired
term. The appointment made now will
expire in January, but his friends think il
would give him q great advantage before
the Legislature if he could secure the sp-
pointment row. To obtain this il will be
Necessary for him TO resign, with the pre-
vious understanding that The present Lieu
tenant Governor would appoint Osborne.

politicians in Kansas, are in progress to-
night, but at late hour nothing definite
