A STRANGE AND TRUE STORY.


We are now to tell story of three
cities. Lewes (Delaware), Philadelphia,
and New York, which would be incredi-
t!e were it not That our facts are obtained
from wholly trustworthy sources. On
the 1l,h of last month March,, Captain
S. IL. Mills, of New York city. was
drowned, or, as it has since turned out,
merely supposed to be drowned, at Lew
is, Del He fell overheard from his
schooner. Upon the body being recov-
cred, and after every attempt to restore
life had failed, it was placed in coffin,
and then again in the usual outer box,
and shipped by Adams Express to the
friends Of the unfortunate man in New
York city.
1t RENAME in Philadelph Ia from P.
NJ. to A. NJ. Upon its arrival in New
York the certificate Of the Lewes, Del,
doctor was discovered to be somewhat
informal, and the advice of the Board of
Health was asked. 1t was at last con-
cluded to open the cases, and when this
was done the man was found to be. alive
The best medical aid was Immediately
called in, and it was ele long though
possible to remove the captain with safe
ty to the Bellevue Hospital, where he
now is. He is not only doing well, but
there is every probability of his speedy
and permanent recovery. How he exis
ted confined within these airless cases
passes comprehension. He was boxed
up for thirty five hours, length of time
very few persons would care to attempt
existence merely without food Or drink.
The name of the man in the box, is
Capt. George Newton. More Anon.

The Mormon Problem SOlyed-Brigham
and His Followers G0ing to Arizona.

ST.. LOUIS, April 9.-Thc Globe has a
special from Salt Lake City, which says
that Brigham Young speaks daily of ab
dicating, and for some time past prcpaTa-
tions have been making for Mormon
exodus southwark. A large number will
leave in few days with Ycuug at their
head Their destination is the valleys
bordering Oh TIE San Francisco Noun
tains, in Arizona, near the Texas Pacific
Railroad. Brigham Young, in anticipa,
ton, has resigned the Presidency of the
Deseret National Bank, the Zion's Com,
pany, cooperative mercantile insti.u
ton, and the railroad, aud is respectively
succeeded by Hon. W. II. Hooper. Gen
eral Eidridge and William Jennings
Young sees bis power diminishing, and
seeks a new locality, where he can be
supreme. The Mormon problem in Utah
is solved, and the war will be transferred
to Arizona. Some prominent Mormons,
with large business interests, state that
they will remain until they sell out
Brigham Young, this afternoon, publicly
in the Tabernacle, and before an immense e
audience. resigned the position of trustee
in trust of the vast Mormon church prop
erty and funds. He said he was going
SO far south that the telegraph would
not reach him.

The packages of partially burned
bonds, notes ~. received at the Washing
ton Treasury few weeks ago from
franklin, Pa, which the insane cashier,
Anderson. attempted to destroy before
committing suicide, have no. yet all been
examined. The most promising of them
were first examined by the experts of
the Treasurer office, who report they
have already identified $4,000 in Uni
ted States bonds, 5000 in railroad
bonds, and a few dollars worth of green
backs. The greatest loss will be in
bills, as many of them was burned to
cinders.

THE APPLICATIONS FOR LICENSE.

A number of hotel-keepers in this
county have fled petitions for license in
the Prothonotary's office, fiom whence
they no doubt in due time will be pre-
sented TO the Court We are not ac-
quainted with the line of action that the
hotel keepers Intend to pursue. We do
not know why it is that they ask tina.
the Voice of the majority of the people
of this county, as expressed at the polls
in March on the question of Local Option,
be set aside We do not know that
there was any informality in the elec
tion on the part of those who favored
Loesl Option. Should it, however, so
appear, by some conjuring or hair-split-
ting process not now visible, it should by
10 means invaiidate ithe legality of the
decision, for the spirit. of the action of
the people was unmistakably against
license. The spirit of the act is of more
importance than the letter. The spirit
or inclination of the people of this coun-
ty was expressed against license in
majority of nearly eight hundred. 1t
would require the showing of gross and
willful violation of the law to induce a
Court of Justice to set aside and declare
null and void so emphatic an endorse
ment of the Local Option law.
There was no clause in the Cons,itu-
tion Of the United States that declared
that human being should be classed as
property, such as horses, sheep and cat
tie; yet the spirit of the institution of
slavery in the South insisted upon the
recognition of man as property, and the
Supreme Court, controlled by the inhu
man spirit that pervaded Southern soci-
ETY.. decided slave to be property, just
as are horses and cattle. And because
the United States Constitution declared
that the citizens of al the States had
t.lG SOlliuOIl W LidllIC tHC YUM
mon territory of the United States in any
and all kinds Of property, slavery exist
ed th' re and could be trafficked in That
vas hair-splitting business in the in
tercst of iahumanity. 1t was not the
clear and emphatic letter of the funda-
mental law that moved the Court it was
the spri; of the institution of slavery
that governed the decision.
Both the spirit and the action of The
people of this county as expressed at the
Aplls favor Local Option, and to set aside
and violate then verdict because the vote
of the county had not been counted i'll a
convention of return judges. when there
was no such requirement by law, would
be a more infamous decision than was
the Dred Scott decision.

MURDERED By THE MODOCS.
Treacllerous Massacre OF the Brave Gen.
eral Candy and Two Of the Peace
Commissioners.

LAVA BEDS CAMP, Aprll ii, via IRE
ka, Cal, April 12.-For several days
past there have been endeavors made by
the Peace Commissioners and General
Candy to obtain an interview with Cap
tain Jack and the leading chiefs of the
Modoc band
Yesterday evening Bogus Charley
came in and said that Captain Jack.
Schonchin and three or four others would
meet the Peace Commissioners OIL a spot
near the lake. about three-quarters of a
mile from camp. Bogus Charley stopp
ed in our camp all night, and in the
morning Boston Charley also came, and
said everything was all right, as Captain
Jack was coming out to meet the COM
missioners.
Between ten and eleven o'clock this
morning the Peace Commission party
comprising Gen. Candy. Mr.. A. b. Mea-
cham. DR.. Thomas, Mr.. Dyar, Riddle,
the interpreter, and squaw, and Bogus
Charley and Boston Charley-went out
to the designated spot There they met
Captain Jack, John Schonchin Black
Jim, Shack Nasty jim. Ellen's Man, and
Iiawker Jim. They had no guns with
them but each carried pistol at his
belt This, however, was not much no.
ticed. as in previous interviews they had
had their guns with them. They sat
down in kind Of broken circle, and
General Candy, Meacham. and Dr.
Thomas sat together, faced by Captain
Jack and Schonclin. Mr.. Dyar stood
by Jack. holding his horse, with Hawker
Jim and Shack Nasty Jim to his LETT
Measham opened the talk, and gave
long history Of what they wanted to do
for them, after which General Candy and
DR.. Thomas both talked for some time.
Captain Jack then talked in an appar.
emily good, serious strain, and when he
finished stepped back to the rear near
where M,acham's horse was hitched.
John Schonchin then began to talk,
and while he was speaking my informant
Mr.. Dyar, heard cap miss fire, and.
locking around, saw Captain Jack to his
left with his pistol pointed at General
Candy. This was the signal for gen.
eral massacre, and a dozen shots were
fired inside Of half minute. Mr.. Dyar
after hearing the cap miss FIRE, turned
and fed, followed closely by Hawker
Jim, who fired two shots after him.
Dyar, finding Hawker Jim gaining on
him. turned and drew his Derringcr,
whereupon Hawker jim rctreated and
Dyar made the best of his way to the
camp.
Captain Jack fired again on General
Candy, and the noble old gentleman ran
off to the left, but waespeedly shot down
aud killed Instantly Meacham was shot
at by Schonchin and wounded in the
head. lie tried to draw his nerringer,
when two Indians ran up and knocked
him down. DR. Thomas was killed al
most instantly by two pistol shots in the
head. Riddle ran off, and it appears they
did not fire at him, but they Knocked his
squaw down. Dyar, Riddle, and the
squaw returned in safety to the camp.

The Republican party can afford to
repudiate its dishonest followers. The
officials that wears its garments must toe
the mark Of honesty or take back seat.
The great body of the American people
were never more in earnest on this point
than now. The grade of st4temen that
come into power hereafter will be trihe
higher than in the past. The Forty
second Congress has had its full share of
honest and noble men but it has also had
a class that failed to live up to the
true sstandard of Republican morality.
The people weighed these men, found
them wanting. The lessons which have
lately been taught by the press of the
country will not be lost on the men who
come fresh frop, the people. Recent in
ve,tigationss have done good in, more
ways than one. They have brought
our true men TO the surface, and opened
the eyes of the people to the necessity
of seslding as representatives the very
best men that can be produced.
The Republican party il not jumacu-
late. 1t has IN its ranks men who dis
grace their manhood by acts which no
Republican can justify. But We have
enough sterling honesty left to fll al!
the offices in the land, and to keep them
filed for some years to come, without
lisking choice from among the army
of Democrats who are at present tender
ing their "bonest services" to Uncle Sam.

American emporium Of commerce In so

far, however, as
THE PHILADELPHIA EXHIBITION
relies upon European custom for its sup
port, its mau attraction will not be found
in the wares displayed about the coun-
ter. 1t is not to see tiue specimens of
hominy. sweet potatoes, or Indian corn,
Or even to inspect new mangling machin:
es or patent elevators, that our West
ward bound tourists will cross the ocean,
as we trust they may do, in 1876. There
are vart number of people in this coun-
try who would like to see something OF
the New World, Of which we hear 60
much, but who yet. somehow, shrink from
the trouble and expense of making a long
voyage with no definite object The
proposed exhibition will, we hope supply
the requisite motive for many such jour
neys. Not the least potent cause of the
MISUNDERSTANDING which have arisen be-
tween England and America lies in the
fact that the denizens of the New World
know so much more about the outward
aspect of the Old World than we can
possibly know about them. No person
who has not visited the United States
can realize the immensity of the area,
the magnitude Of the distances. the vari
ETY. of the States which compose the
Union, just in the same way as no Amer
lean wEo has not visited these shores can
realize how country scarcely larger
than one of the minor States that make
up the Republic can be one of the great
est among European powers. No doubt
a trip of few weeks across the ocean
and back will not enable any traveller,
however observant. to understand the
working of the intricate
AMERICAN CONSTITUTION,
or to weigh the comparative advantages
and disadvantages of democracy But
we may safely say that even week
passed on the railroads and tramways
the Atlantic cities will teach
the ordinary tourist much about the coun-
try which he would not acquire from the
most careful study of De Tocquevile's
lucubrations. And everything which
leads our countrymen to go westward in
stead of eastward in their summer out
ugs is an advantage to both England
md America. We are convince how
ever, that if the exhibition of Philadel-
phia is to draw European custom, some
hing mus: be done to make the voyage
. and fro easier and cheaper than it is at
present With the enterprise that dis
Americans, and the marvellous
system of locomoton and of hotels which
hey possess, there should be no Difficult
y in organizing n series of excursion
rips to the United States during 1876.
Tourists might arrange to have their
BOARD and expenses of transit fixed at so
much per day, from the hour they leave
he tender in the Mersey to that at which
