Justice, Britton had within a few DAYS lett the
service OF the company BY reason OF his own

the homicide he was drunk. and was looking
for Mccain with qusrrelsome intent, when he
happened to meet Clothier, McCann's assist

Adams, who was a friend of BrittOn, and had
for some time been trying 90 get him home,
demonstrated. Britton suddenly turned on
him, saying, "Well, then, will shoot yOu,',

The Captured ModOcs.

WHAT GIN. JEFF. G. DAVIS SAYS ABOUT THEM.
General Davis has been interviewed by cor
respondent Of the San Francisco Bulletin, and
has given his statement as to the Modoc war,
and his opinion as to what ought to be done
with the prisoners. The General makes the
point that when the citizens desire protection
for their persons and indemnification for their
property they appeal to the United States; but
now that the war is over and the Indians cap
tured, they want TO take their punishment into
their own hands He thinks that the recent
murder of the four Modocs shows that the trial
by an Oregon jury would be a farce In regard
TO their trial by a military commission, he
makes the suggestion that the commission
should be composed of officers of high rank
who had taken no part in the operations against
the ModOcs, and that each case should be tried
separately. He thinks that this will occupy
some time, probably six months, as well as cost
the government heavily, and remarks that
everyb body knows the Indians have committed
murder, ne had thought to avoid this waste OF
time and money by hanging them himself.
The Genera also gave to the correspondent a
declaration of charges which he had drawn and
read to Captain Jack, reciting all the crimes Of
which he and his tribe had been guilty, and in
forming him that he and the other chiefs would
be hung at sunrise next morning, but before he
could execute this intention instructions were
received from Washington directing him TO hold
the prisoners until further orders. On this
point, he said: While was preparing list of
those intended to execute, a courier arrived
with instructions from Washington, "HOld the
prisoners until further orders'' After the exc
cutiOn intended organizing a force for the
purpose OF starting for the Columbia, and prob
ably for Lapwsi, seeing and talking with as
many chiefs as possible while en- route. knew
that the prompt execution of the Modoc out
laws would facilitate peace talks among the
Indians of Oregon and Washington Territory,
as well as California, and have a tendency to
quiet the Indians all through the country The
Indians all know We have captured the Modocs
and they will quickly learn the news if the
death penalty is inflicted. The chastisement
would result in mutual benefit to both the In
dams and the whites. With the prestige the
troops have gained we could do great good by
such a campaign.

The Salary increase.

Edhw Of The Register:
Our Member Of Congress, Mr.. vii.
lard in a recent article respecting the
salary increase, contributed by him to
the Freeman, uses the following lam
guagc;
"The President favored the bill J,f9re it passed
either House, and personally expressed to MEM
bers desire to have his own salary increased !;
and the selfish interests of members in increasing
their own pay was only one of the devices by
which the Presidents salary raised; in other
words, it pulled that increase through, and the
whole measure had favor at the White house on
that account
1t will be observed that the language
employed to express the President S
agency is cquivocal. He says "thc Pres
dent favored the bill Jefore it passed."
etc. How did he favor ii,actively, impor.
tuuatcly, improperly, or otherwise ? He
says the President personally expressed
to members desire to have his own
salary increased Did the President
seek opportunities to do so? Did he,
actively, positively seek, by his personal
and official influence, to induce mem.
bers to favor the bill, or did he, when APP
preached and asked by his personal and
political friends, simply express it as his
individual opinion that the official sala
ries enumerated, or any Of them, were
too low ?
Does Mr.. Willard state these charges
as of his own personal knowledge, or are
they differences from rumors? The ani.
mas of the article is plain enough to the
commonest apprehension Mr. Willard
Processes to be moved by desire tc
"vindicate the truth of history" as he
calls it. lie brings u grave charge
against the President. He says "the
selfish interests of members in increasing
their own pay was only one Of the de.
vices by which the Presidents salary was
raised in other words,'it pulled that in.
crease through, and the achole measure
had taeor at the White House on thu
account" The italics are ours.
Mr.. Willard represents a constituency
who hold the President in the highest
esteem, as worthy Of the lofty position he
has been called to occupy, by the genera
voice Of his countrymen, and as justly
entitled to their confidence and gratitude
They have right, therefore, to call upor
Mr.. Willard for an explicit avowal o
his authority for charge which, if true
reflects dishonor upon the man of theil
choice. let MS have the exact truth
not opinion, or conjecture, or Inference
but the ungarnished facts, if he can give
them. Greatly as we honor our Presi
dent, we nevertheless hold him as mucl
subject to scrutiny and criticism as thu
lowest official. Give US the proof How
does Mr.. Willard know that the "whol,
measure found favor at the Whit,
House ?''
