DOOM OF THE NEODOCs.

We have already announced by
telegraph dispatch published in these
columns. that the final orders to carry
out the sentence of the military
commission in regard to Capt. Jack and
the other five Modocs had been issued by
the War Department. Tne orders OF the
War Department are to hang the prison
ers between the hours of 10 a. IN. and :
p, IN. on October Sd.
A telegram from Fort Klamath, Ore
gon, states that the orders have been re-
ceiyed by General Frank Wheaton, the
commandant of that post, and that their
arrival has been quite relief to the
minds of citizens Of that section, as they
were beginning to be afraid that the
President would be influenced to COM
mute the sentence at the instigation of
Eastern parties.
1t has seemed as though justice moved
tardily toward the punishment of these
numbering redskins. General Jeff. c..
Davis proposed to deal with them sum-
marily; he held a drum head court
martial, sentenced half a score of them
or more, to be hanged, and was erecting
the gallows for the purpose Of executing
the sentence when orders were received
from the War Department to defer
operations. No doubt the action OF
General Davis was earnestly commended
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1873-10-02

by nine-tenths of those living on the
frontier, while the action of the govern .
ment in thus delaying the just punish
ment of the numbering savages, who had
assassinated General Candy and others,
was as emphatically condemned
But the determination of the govern
ment to submit the cases of these crimi-
nails to the deliberate arbitration of law
was judicious and is but another eXhi-
bition of the superior wisdom of the ad-
ministration :.
Had all the captured Modocs, men
women and children, been placed in line
and shot dead as soon az brought into
camp, it would have met the almost
unanimous approval of the Western peo-
pie, and it would have been good rid
dance of the remant of a numbering,
thieving tribe of worthless savages.
Yet the moral effect upon other Indian
tribes would have been lost An Indian
cares little more for his life than he does
for his squaw, and the solcitude he feels
for her is of an infnitessimal quality.
Had Captain Jack and the remnant of
his tribe been shot soon as seaptured they
would have met their fate with the
stoical Indifference of their race, and
every Indian from Puget Sound to
Texas would have regarded them as
brave warriors whose example was wor-
thy Of emulation.
But the Indian has as wholesome a
I fear of the gallows as the traditional
gentleman in black, with the cloven foot,
| has of Holy water Captain Jack has,
time and again, begged and entreated
that he might be shot, and not 8 hung
| like a dog"
His case has become familiar to all
the Indians throughout the Territories.
! They have seen that the Great Father
sought not vengeance, but that the pro-
cess with which the Government deals
with criminals, though deliberate, is
sure and inexorable. While the eX-
/ ample which win be made of the Modoc
murderers will oyerawe them, they will
at the same time realize that the Gov
ernment shows no partiality between
them and the pale faces, and deals with
each alike, justly. ...... IL.
We can understand the solicitude OF
the settlers on the frontier, and we dc
not wonder at their solicitude lest Cap,
tain Jack and his band should escape
the just penalty of their crimes. Mer
who have seen. their families murdered
in the glare of their burning cabins, by
savage Indians, can hardly be expected
to compIacently await the laws delays
and the possibility of escape Of sucL
criminals as Captain Jack and. the othel
ALodoc murderers.. ..@..,.-
Those who have shaped the Indian
policy Of the Government recently
know little of character and ma ur'
of the Indian. Some Of thea
indeed, we have been assured, hayt
never seen full-hlooded Ini1ial
warrior It seems folly to intrnst fin
dealings with the Indian tribes to them
and we think it would be much wisert

hands of the War Department, where
formerly was, and to which branch O
the Government it properly belongs

F5iabolicaI outrage.
AqIEMrT. AT WHOLESALE MURDER.

On Wednesday morning last, about
o'clock, Mr. Walter Tefftss oEersecr of
the Port Henry Iron Ore company's
mines at Mineville, N. Y, wasawakened
by the. report of guns which were being
fired directly at, and apparently in the
immediate vicinity of his house. He
instantly sprang out of his bed followed
by his wife, who also heard the shooting.
Soon after arising, he detected the smell
of burning fuse, and being an old min
err knew in an instant what 1t was, and
the danger to be apprehended from the
use of such an instrument, if connect
ed, as it usually is, with keg OF pow
der. He rushed out of the house and
quickly had his worst suspicious realized
by discovering, a few feet from the
house, a three minute fuse partly burnt,
and still burning freely. Tracing it
along, he found attached to the other
end, a keg of powder, which was placed
directly under his house. He was al
most stunned by the discovery; but real
izing in an instant, the disastrous results
to himself, his family and property,
! should the fuse burn a minute longer,
| he severed the connection between it and
the powder, and thus averted amost ter
rible calamity, A delay of one or two
minutes would have been sufficient to
have landed himself and family into
eternity, and stained the souls Of the
villains, who plotted the outrage, with
murder. Previous to the awakening of
Mr.. Teffts, there had passed through the
house seven bullets in near proximity to
where he and his wife slept, and the
whistIing Of one of them materially as
sisted in awaking them.
No doubt the demons who were thirst
ing for his blood understood in what
part of the house he slept and made, at
least seven attempts to shoot him to
death, but the villains, in their efforts to
make sure of his death, outdid them
selves and actually saved his life and
that of his family, and frustrated their
whole design. Had they ceased firing
before they did, in minute afterward,
the house and inmates would have beer
blown to atoms, and their main design,
the death of Mr.. Teffts accomplished.
No reason for this most diabolical out
rage can be given, except it may bt
, from the recent troubles the miners hac
: with the company, and the fact that al
, appointee of Mr.. Tefft's took the place
Z of one discharged, all done, however
} according to the company's order.
We would comment on this fiendisf
{ outrage, for the man who would attemp
it must have the spirit of Satan himself
| but words fail US to express our abhof
. renee of such an outrage, and we leay
/. thepublic to make their own comments cor m

THE Chicago Tribune recently requested
the Quincy Herald to he good enough to
mention the principles which the Demo-
cratic party is not willing to surrender.
Whereupon The Herald tenders us Jeffer-
sons Inaugural Address. AS the Demo-
cratic party dates back only to Jackson,
we should like to know what The Herald
is doing with Jefferson's Inaugural Ad-
dress. The parties of Jefferson's day
were dead and buried before modern Democ-
racy was born. With the same grace
The Herald might have rendered us the
Ten Commandments as the principles
which the Democratic party is not willing
to surrender. There are probably very
few persons who will not subscribe to
Jeferson's Inaugural Address, and Wash
ington's, too. for that matter.
