SURRENDER OF CAPTAIN JAcK.-The
bold Indian chief who has given the Go.
vcrnment 80 much trouble OF late, has at
last suocumbcd to superior fo,ce, and
surrendered. Captain Jack and the
greater part Of his Modoc band are no
longer on the war path. Thus the Mo
doc rebellion is equelohed. It was at
first q sorrily managed. bungling lob.
The efforts OF Candy and Giilem were
only attended by loss of life aud signul
failure. But tho new General, Davis,
seems 70 have acted with great firmness
and resolution, aud success at last
crowned his excrlions. The question
now is, what will be done with the can
::ured Modocs? Will they be turned
loose. with all their .awless habits. upon
the border to coalesce with other tliscon.
certed savages, to the terror and injury
o. the settlers? And yes to elov them.
after surrender, would horrif7 the world.
To deport them, would offend also
against sentiment in the country which
holds up holy hands at the "wrones Of
the poor Indian" What will Grant do
with bis red elephant? What il to be
the fate OF Captain jack?

Tho Deccher scandal is stirring tho
society OF Brooklyn and New York to it's
very depths. Loud calls are made upon
Mr.. Beecher to explain. Public senti-
ment seems to demand it, as the names
OF some OF the most prominent ladies
IN his congregation are involved. Few
will not regret the fact if it is truo. It
is not often that the public is called upon
to witness the agonies OF such spirit
and the degradation Of suoh a mind. It
is to be hoped that the eloquent orator
may explain tue mystery that now en-
velopes and darkens his character. So.
ciety may well tremble at the prospect of
driving such an intellect to despair; but
II 1t must come, let it come ct once. Mr.
Beecher cannot longer remain silent.
Ite report ia current in New York that
Beecher never breaches in Ply. outh
Church without there being at least
twenty of his mistresses in the congrega.
tion--members' of his flock. And to one
OF these, name is openly given. She
ls Elizabeth Tilton, the wife of Rev.
theodore Tilton, celebrated editor,
Literary man and new-fangled notion dis
oiple-and bosom friend Of Beecher.
The lady is beautiful. pious and Intense
~ cultivated. According to the new
osaGo. Va WOounuii anu 1titon, tnlS 6Ort
OF thing is albright. But. nevertheless.
Mr.. Tilton takes it badly-so much so
that when be found out the tricks his
vile and old Beechcr we're playing, he
behaved dreadfully-Abuscd the pious
lady to such degree that she misonrried
OF child-Beecher's. The child being
buried, he repaired to the grave at night,
armed with the Wedding ring which he
had torn from bis wife's finger, cast the
ring upon the grave, stamped it in, and
was otherwise very unruly. And then
made covenant with Beecher to look
upon it all as beautiful and God
ordained thing, and to live with him in
molly brotherly love. And 80 it goes.
And so far has it gone, that Beecher is
at last obliged to speak. And now the
whole thing is to be sifted and aired.

The shocking disaster at Dixon, ILL.,,
where 80 many lives were lost by tho
breaking down OF bridge under the
weight OF crowd of people who had
assembled to witness tho ceremony of
baptism, was eagerly seized upon by
many seculur newspapers to conflte the
doctrine OF special Judgments maintained
by the class Of religious journals who
proiessed to see in the burning of Chi
caGo providential visitation, conse-
quent upon the extreme wickedness Of
that city The Pittsburg Jnite,l Presly-
!ertan, however, refuses to view the sub
lect in this light, but. on the contrary,
labors to show that the Dixon tragedy
was striking instance OF swift jndg-
ment upon an open proclamation OF tie
Sabbath. In order TO do this, it makes
the rather bold assumption that the peo-
pie on The bridge were not there to wor-
ship or witness the religious rite, but to
observe a spectacle. and therefore they
were 20! remembering the day to keep i.
holy.
