How Gen. Lyon Fought the Modes.

General Lyon, before the rebellion,
while in command of small detachment,
had much trouble in fighting the Indians
in that locality. Their ambushes were so
advantageous to them that at first little
progress was made. The lava beds are on
the border of a small lake, i'll which are
many islands. The Indians would make
such resistance as was possible, and when
pressed closely they would take to their
boats and paddle to the islands, where they
could not be followed. General Lyon.
however, determined on plan whereby
he could reach the islands. After much
care and trouble he succeeded in building
several rude boats and transporting them
across the lava beds, a task not easy of per-
formance, and they were duly launched in
the lake and filed with the troons. with
these boats the islands were easily reached,
and the Indians were attacked from ali
sides and finally eXterminated.

honesty and efficiency in the civil SER
vice. Nothing is farther from their
thoughts No sort of change would please
them, unless they were able to dictate the
erms. They raise their voice against cor
ruption, theft, robbery, inefficiency, when,
If they could control the Government,
they and their friends would steal it bank
rupt. We say this is so of those who make
the greatest noise about it. There are
men who earnestly favor reform, be-
lieving nothing perfect as it cannot
be under the direction of human
intelligence alone. But such men do
not make half as much noise as the dema-
gogues who at heart, care nothing about
the country so they succeed in their selfish
designs.
In all reforms honest men will have to
contend with such, demagogues, and Il will
be well to consider this and guard against
them before embarking in any reform of
any character, and more especially where
there is an inviting field for intrigue and
political corruption.

PROPER ENCOURAGEMENT.

Franklin county takes the lead in this
State in extending encouragement to man
ufacturing enterprises. The County Court
of that county and the qualified voters
have exempted from taxation capital and
improvements erected for manufacturing
purposes, for the next ten years. The ac-
ton of the people does not exempt any
thing now taxable, but only such capital
asshall be invested in improvements erect
ed. Such action will be thought by some,
unnecessary, but time will prove the wis
dom of the policy. We learn that already
a blast furnace will he put in operation in
that county soon, one of the largest in the
State. 1t is not so much the pecuniary
aid thus extended to manufacturing enter
prises as it is an evidence of good will and
earnest support on the part of the people.
1t is an expression of sympathy and well
come that will have its effect. We COM
mend this action of Franklin county to 9TH
er sections of the State for their considera-
ton. 1t is we'll known that if East Ten
nessee ever reaches wealth it must be
through manufactures. Our abundant
raw material must be made to produce
something useful, and in the process thou
sands of operatives must find employment.
This being so, it is certainly good policy to
extend every possible encouragement to
any enterprise intended to bring this
| about. This is our royal road to wealth"

The Governor of Kentucky prides HIM
self on having written very able message
on the subject of Louisiana affairs. tap
pears to outsiders as If he might find some
thing to write about Kentucky affairs,
judging from an account of masked mid
night marauders, which we find in a late
issue of the Courier-Journdl. 1t seems that
they had served mysterious notices, orna-
mented with cuts of skulls and cross bones.
The Journal says:
Upon receipt of these notices. Mr.. Will
liams prepared himself we'll for any de-
monstrations likely to follow, and on last
Friday night, between eight and nine
O'Clock, small party of men i'm masks and
gowns appeared near his house and called
to him. Come out, Uncle Dick,n they
said, 1--WE want to speak to your Selling
ashot-gun, Williams opened door, when
the kuklux rushed in at both doors of the
house, and the firing instantly began.
Almost at the first fire, one of the ku-
klux, supposed to be Hack Bramleth, was
killed, and the gang, disconnected by the
death of their comrade, made but q short
fight. Williams fired rapidly, being as
sisted by Mr.. Frederick's wife and her
mother, Mrs. Eliza Vaught, who handed
him pistols as fast as he needed them. Mrs.
on her own account, and one of them
wounded one of the kuklux. Two bullets
struck Williams in the arm, but he did not
cease firing until the attacking party had
retreated, carrying off the dead Bramleth
and three of their companions who were
wounded.
With such a state of affairs prevailing
in his own State, it would be well for the
Governor to take the beam from his own
eye before essaying to write about Louisi-
ana affairs. His friends in the Legislature
thought his message such specimen Of
craftsmanship that they ordered two thou
sand copies printed. The Commercial very
well observes: "This is craftsmanship on
the half-shell as it were. The money re-
quired to print this pretentious document
and distribute it among the people might
have been devoted to the printing and the
circulation of documents for immigration
purposes, with some practical results"

THE PRESIDENTS INDIAN POLICY.

The following is from the Louisville
Courier-Jo,rnaL:
The massacre OF General Candy and his asso-
ciates is directing q storm of criticism against
the Presidents Indian policy. Reports OF MUIR
ders continue to pour in, too from other points
on the frontier, and it is likely that the policy
of the Administration will be thoroughly an
alyzed before the discussion terminates. The
ghost of the murdered Candy will long shake
his CORY locks before the Presidents eyes.
The storm spoken of comes, and will
continue to come, from such sources as
have been engaged in "storming" against
the President all the time. There are men
who will take part in directing this
"stormn who secretly rejoice in their very
heart that Gen. Candy was murdered by the
treacherous Modocs, so that they might
have an opportunity of turning the SYM
pathies of the people for the murdered
General into a storm against President
Grant. They would rejoice to see storm
of indignation against him, no matter
what the occasion might be-whether just
or unjust. 1t will not be insisted that as
the Modocs are treacherous, no effort is to
be made for the civilization of other
Indian tribes. Gen. Grants Indian policy
has been to civilize rather than extermi-
nate. 1t is the true policy and will be sus-
tanned by enlightened public opinion. The
same men who are now attempting to direct
this storm against the Presidents Indian
policy were a short time ago indulging in
the fiercest invective against Gen. Sheri-
dan because some of his men killed a few
Piegans. This shows that their assumed
indignation, because of the death of Gen.
Candy is hypocritical cant. 1t is great
deal of noise with very little meaning. We
would rather take the word of one man
like Mr.. Welsh, of Philadelphia, after his
visit to several agencies last summer under
the control of the Protestant Episcopal
church, than a thousand such men as get
up editorials for the New York Herald or
World or the Courier-JoLrnaI.
The policy of the President did not COM
pei Gen. Candy to risk his life or the lives
of his men in an attempt at making peace
with the Modocs. Our information from
Washington is that Gen. Candy was al
lowed the fullest discretion in his opera
tons there, and that the course pursued
was one of his own choice. He might
have exterminated the Modocs long ago,
but if he had done so he would have sub
jected himself to the criticism and de-
nunciation of the very men who are de-
nouncing the Administration for its peace
policy.

good nstured, droll fellow, whose jokes
have become quite popular on the road.
His name is Bill. A short time since while

ing baggage, an ugly little Scotch terrier
got in his way and he gave him smart
kick, which sent him over the track yell
ing. The owner of the dog soon appeared
in high dudgeon wanting to know who
kicked the dog.
'Was that your dog?" asked Bill, with
the usual drawl.
Certainly it was! What right had you
to kick him?n
"He's mad" said Bill.
"No, he's not mad, either,n said the
owner.
"Well, I should be if anybody kicked me

up against the roof of the building with a
force that threatened to shatter every bone

wish to remind you that as the representa-

you cannot better discharge that obliga-

ORIGIN or THE "PRINTER's DEVIL

as printer at Venice, he came in posses
sion of little negro boy. This boy was
known over the city as ''the little black

people believed none other than Satan,
who helped Aldus in the prosecution Of
his profession. One day, Manutius desir-

made this short but characteristic speech /:

think he is not flesh and blood, may come

We copy the following from the New

In a Republic there is constant danger
that every popular movement OF reform
will be seized upon and diverted from its
original and legitimate objects, by class
of demagogues who care only for their own
interests, and would sacrifice anything for
place and pay.
This is eminently true. 1t is now abso-
lutely certain that the people Of this coun-
try must, at no distant day, meet and Crap
DIE with questions connected with fast
growing and dangerous monOpolies. In
deed they are already moving in the mat
ter. Just few days ago, there
was an immense gathering of far
mers in Illinois. They met to dis
cuss certain questions growing out OF
what they considered an infringement
upon their rights and privileges by the
railroads. But the willy, unreliable place
hunting politician was there ready to
shape the conclusions Of the convention SC
as to have a political bearing. The dema.
goguas were ready 70 take part in the pro
ceedings and control them in their own
interest.
SO it is, and will be in every species o.
reform. 1t is eminently SO in the mattel
of civil service reform. Those who tall
