Fato Of the Modocs.

Tho fate Of the Nodes has been
decided. kilograms from Washing
ton state that Captain Jack, Schon..
chin, Black Jim, Boston Charley, Que
Eyed Jim and Sloluck, have b.cn
sentence! to itceivo The penalty Of
hanging on tho Sd Of October. Thoy
were found guilty Of murder in VIC.
lation of the laws of war, and of as
sault with intent to kill in violation
Of the laws Of war. The tragic finale
Is IN Keeping with all tho events of
tho Modoc war. Our sympathy can
not but be raised ih behalf of these
war; iors. Although destitute of all
the principles il.calcated by c;viIiza
tion and humanity, they were truo %
their own savage creed, and cxcellud
in ell that Indians esteem. They
had their creed, bloody and venge-
tul one it is true, but still creed, and
they lived up to it, and will probably
die in accordance with it's require
ments. These poor sagages were n,
worse than men living in a primo |
state always are. Tho history of the
greatest nations Of antiquity tccms
with instances of barbarity more
atrocious that that displayed by
Captain jack and his braves, and they
are not blamed. 1t is prcposterous
to judge by tho laws of the nineteenth
century individuals who have Lccn
trained to customs Of primcval ages.
These savagcs wero as much sinned
against as SHINING. Aro thero to be
no other executions on the Sd of Octo.
Der? Arc the Indian agents, those
sleek puritanical villains of tho Ea. I, 8,
and those hardened upprincipled ruff
fans of tho West, who swindlcd and
maltrcatcd and goadcd the savagcs
to despcration-aro they to escape
scot free while their victims arc put
to death for turning upon thcmb-
Their carcasses should adorn the same
gallows on which hang tho bodies of
the Modocs.
We have heard of no prosecutions
against the agents who were instru-
mental in bringing on this conflict
They still enjoy tho confidence of the
administration. None of tho dcspc-
radocs who murd;red Modoo prison
crs which travelling under protection
of the United States flag have been
arrested. They will also escape tho
consequences Of their crime.
The lives of the Modoos should DO
spared until an equal number of
white villains have bccn fou6d to
bear them company to tho land of
spirits. The government can well
adopt the whito and black shield of
of the old Tcmplars. 1t is delightful
to its friends and terrible to its enc.
mirs.

Immigration.

Nor the past eight years, The con.
slant cry from tho South has beon
tor immigration. Pamphlets have
been written, addresses havo been
delivered, associations have been or =.
Sanlzcd, to inlrco immigrants to set
Ito in the South.
But the current had already SCI
westward; and dreadful ,erosts of
ku k'ux outragcs, of unitcr,nl star.
v"tion were pot c.iculAtcd TO divert
this current TO tho South.
In tho pat year however, great
Improvement has been manifested.-
Tho whole region is peaceful and law
abiding.
1t is true that officials still plunder /;
and demagogues still howl about the
war, and slavery and the consequences
OF a conciliation between the races
Hut outside of politics the people
harmonizc, and arc oxcrting their on
crgics to secure national prosperity.
in consequence of this, immigration
will i'll time 10 TUNED to OUR genial

Railroads.

While the citizens Of other portions
OF the State arc greatly excited over
the construction of low railroads, the
good people OF Fairfield arc doing
nothing. They are apparently salts.
lied with their present racliitics of
transportation, aud although they
freely ann!hcmatizo the miserable
highways through tho country are
doing nothirS to better their condi-
tlon. We must wake up, or tho nd
joining Counties will leave us far be-.
hind. There should be line of rail
way running east and west, and con.
meeting the lines now in operation. -
There arc several routes needed to
oncn communication. Perhaps the
one that would prove cf most advan.
taGc would connect S;hclton's Dcpot
with '" "icnsboro, and continue to
tamdcn. The Spartanhurg aud Union

that place at present is u serious OBJ
"t"c to it's development. The water
power al "g The Catawba River is
almost equal to that Of Columbia,
and is equally neglected. 1t should
be utilized. Tho first step in do

thc construction Of railroads. Let
us have them, either Ircad gauge or
narrow gauge, intcrsecting tho whole

The origin of this mystic phrase
rauks along with the source of tho
blow that Billy Patterson got from an
unknown hand. But it means now,
aad always has meant since its intro
ductloh, all correct. Aud some Of
Ga ilickory's enemies used to assert
that he originated the expression when
h" wrote in tho way Of approval on
some documents, 0U Ukowect. This &C.
count is ofc>urse, slandervus and fic-

in relation to its or;sin. The most
that is...ce, tainly known is, that it be.

From that day to this it has held

County Treas'iiliffcr 'iif Allen.

We copied some weeks ago from
tho Enterprise and NIountaincer a
statement that Treasurer Cardozo bad
piau to J. Nj. Alton, County Treas
urcr of Greenvillc, $4,000 in full of
the appointment for Grcenvillc of tho
free school fund, and asked how it
was possible that Allen could be al
lowed by the Governor to retain his
ccmmis> ion as Treasurer when he was
under conviction and sentc cnce to tho
pcnitcntiary for misappropriatiug-
to draw it mildly-thc funds of the
State in his hands. To our inquiry
no response was made from any quar-
ter.
1t appears now that Allen has also
made away with considerable ain ount
OF funds that belonged to Grcenville
County. The County Commissioner
bring suit against Allen and his sure
ties on his official bond to recover
some of the money stolen from the
county. Allen cannot be served with
tho process. 1fo cannot be found
within the State. lie has absconded,
i: seems.
1t might be pertinent just here to
inquire how soon after Catdozo paid
him the $4,000 was it that he took
his departure and also why it was
that Cardozo paid him tho full appor.
t'onmcnt for his county while the
schools in other counties have to be
closed because they can't get from
the State Treasury tho money to
which they are entitled, and which
onght to have been paid months ago.
