Some of the Western press credit Anna
Dickinson with dramatic aspirations. A
Minneapolis paper has discovered in her a
strong comic vein, but thinks that she would
run a risk of failure in tragedy. On the
other hand, other writers suggest that
she would succeed more in the earnest, the
pathetic, and the terrible than in the lighter
vein Of the eomedienne; while the Golden
Age thinks that in the field of melodrama,
which il neither comedy nor tragedy, but a
mingling Of both, Miss Dickinson would
stand fair chance Of making for herself .

ssBEN WRIGHT TREACHERY."

The Yreka Union has taken the trouble
to interview Mr.. John G.. Hallick, who was
a member of the Ben Wright party Of 1852,
on the subject of the so-called outrageous
massacre, committed by Ben Wright and his
men in the above named year, and in which
the Modocs were the sufferers From the
statement of Mr.. Hallick, it seems that the
press, in its extensive comments on this sub
ject, has been misguided, and that Ben
Wright, instead of being that treacherous
scoundrel, as depicted by some, was, on the
contrary, great benefactor to the white set
tiers of northern California and southern Or
egon, in those early days. And not only a
very brave man, but one who well under
stood the cunning and deceit of the treacher-
Gus foe with whom he was contending 1t
seems that the so-called Ben Wright massa-
ere, was brought about by continued refu-
SAL OH the part of the Indians, to comply
with certain clause in the treaty which had
been agreed to between them, in regard to
surrendering property and fire arms taken from
their victims on previous occasions. They
were asked repeatedly to surrender these ar
tcles, but as repeatedly offered some paltry
excuse for delaying the matter. AT last
Wright discovered that the whole of their
pretentions Of peace was a myth, trick of
theirs, entered into by them in order to give
themselves time to prepare for more effective
operations. In order to assure himself that
his apprehensions were well founded, Wright
placed his men in readiness, while he himself
went into the Indians camp and made per-
emptory demand for them to comply with
the terms of the treaty. The Indians impu
IDENTIFY refused; told Wright they were not
afraid of him; could whip him, and did not
intend to surrender the said property. At
this Wright gave the signal for an attack.
His men, who were stationed at a distance,
fired a voley into the Indian camp; the Red
skins rushed to meet them, when handto-
hand fight ensued, resulting in the death of
about forty of the Modoc warriors. And this
is the substance of the "Ben Wright treach-
cry and massacre" If little Ben Wright
foresight had been displayed, and his exam
pie of decisive action been followed at the
commencement of the present Modoc war,
many noble lives might have been spared :,
what promises to be long and bloody war
averted, and millions of dollars saved to our
| National treasury.

FoR SUPREME JUDeE.-In gancing over our
Visalia exchanges we notice the announcement
that Judge Reardan of the l4th Judicial District,
is to hold Court for Judge Bradford, i'll Tulare

this gentleman as suitable person, such things
being now in order, to be put forward 10y the
Democracy of this State for Justice of the Su-
preme Court, at the election this Fall. Mr..
Reardan is one of the abest Judges in the State,

profession, irrespective of party. We do not
think that better qualified, more suitable or
popular person can be found.-Fresno Espositor.

has rendered entire satisfaction to all parties,
and we should certainly object. unless his
election as Supreme Judge was beyond a

MODUC WAR.

On Saturday last another massacr of SOL
diers and officers was effected at the Lava
Beds, by the Modocs. General Ciem had
ordered force of some 60 or 70 men and
officers to reconnoiter in force the Lava Beds,
and they marched into trap prepared for
them, when more than half their number
were wounded or massacred, without the
81 ghtest show to fight back, and no re-en-
folcements in reach. We learn that the Of
fetal dispatches that went over the wires to
Washington, of this affair, said that out of
GO men sent in, only ten men escaped unin-
jured. 1t is not known that the soldiers
even saw an Indian while the massacre was
going On. The accounts of this slaughter,
even in the best shape the officers can place
it, is sickening in the extreme. Our army
numbers 35 900 soldiers, and the Govern
lrent is having thousand of them slaugh-
tered in detail, while the greater body is be-
ing used in the South to terrorize over white
citizens and keep usurping carpet-bagge.s in
office. The Indians on all our frontiers are
becoming saucy from the success of the Mo-
does, and a general Indian war is threatened
in which hundreds and thousands of innocent
settlers will be murdered; and at this very
time Grant and his funkies are toasting and
.junketing on a farm in Missouri. Every
reader can make his own comments on this
state of things,

NOTHING TO SAY.-We have heard of a
boy who at certain time had nothing to
say. All the papers, not chickadees of Stan
ford & Co.,, from Ogden to the Pacific, have
spoken in merted terms of severity of the
outrage of the monopoly in raising the rates
of freight on all the shippers and consumers
from San Francisco to Ogden, because the
courts have compelled the company to
pay its just taxes in Placer and Washoe
counties; but our poor bantling, next door,
has nothing to say, like the boy above re-
ferred to. 1t is thought that the monopoly
dispensation to our neighbor run out on Easter
Sunday, and that he is "now an altered
man," that is, he can now only speak as his
reputed owners direct. Poor, sick pussy
wants hot jam to lean against, and the
ring and railroad furnishes the only warmth
it can find suitable to its instincts.

O63cial Paper Of Placer County
GREENBACKS vs.. GOLD.

Sound political economy teaches that no
nation should debase its currency or attempt
to have superior and inferior money in cir
culation, In international commerce nothing
but gold. and silver is money, and every
nation that tolerates paper currency that
is not convertible at par into gold, must be
drained Of its metallic currency. Our
greenbacks will buy nothing in Europe or
any foreign country, hence the high price of
gold in New York and other commercial
cities, and the now monetary rigor in our
country. Twenty-Five thousand shoddyites
are leaving this Spring for Europe, and each
must have, on an average, 81 600, and
greenbacks will not do; hence, $25 ,0OO,O 600
in gold must be had at once. Our importa-
tions largely exceed our expectations, and
gold must supply the deficiency. Here is a
pressure that must be met, and the gold
bulls are growing fat on the necessities of
commerce and the people. The whole East
is crying out for convertible currency,
that is, currency convertible at the pleas
ure of the holder into gold at dollar for dol
lar, like our gold notes. And, strange as it
may seem, there are saphead editors in Cal
ifornia that want deprecated greenback
currency introduced into this State. DO
these superficial, mullet heads know that
the same law that regulates currency in the
East, is, in fact, the law here, and that there
is nothing to prevent any man in California
from receiving and paying out greenbacks
according TO the contract he makes, and yet
they preach what they are not willing to
practice. 1t is the good sense of the people
of California that makes gold the currency,
and not the law. The law opens the door
in California to greenbacks, and every man
that so desires, can deal in them, work for
them, sell for them, and pay them out if he
so elect; then what's in the way of them?
Only the good seuse of the people. Ninety
nine men out of every hundred in California
choose gold instead of greenbacks when
they have their own free choice, and these
greenDack editors, in fact, denounce nearly
the entire community when they attack the
golden currency of this State. If these
greenback editors were all shut up in barn
some rainy day, they would doubtless make
five dollars each, swapping jack-knives.
