APOLLO HALL AND MAYOR HAvEATEYE
NEw YORK, June 1.-THE Apoll
hall general committee made dash a
Mayor Havemeyer and his disfranchise
ment of adopted citizens in the follow
ing way: Last evening, under the spe
cious cry of reform, we find the dead an
buried Il carcass of knownothingism re
vived, fanatacism and bigotry tina
woul 4 have shocked the sensitive ma
lures of the witch-burners of a eentur,
ago, publicly exhibited and proclaimed
and under action and appointments 0
the mayor, the almost absolute disfran
chisement of the adopted citizens o
every race and faith.
SIBERIAN SAYS A PIECE ABOUT THI
MoDOC SITUATION.
General Sherman had a conversation
with the reporter last evening, and i
made to say, of General Davis, con
cerning his Indictment of Captain JacE
and for hanging him and some of his
associates, that if the statement is cor
rect there is nodoubt that General Davis
must have exceeded his duty, and ht
would be held responsible for his acts
He should be guided by military rule:
and the law. We all know they are
murderers, and had General Davis shot
them while in pursuit, / do not think ht
would have exceeded his duty. He die
not do this, and could not afterward
shoot them in cold blood. General
Davis's report ITO General SchOfield,
General Sherman said, may
differ from that published in the
papers. General Davis is too expe-
rienced an officer to do anything
that would bring odium upon the army,
or lay himself open TO military court
martial, for exceeding his duty as an Of
ficer. The general thinks there will be
no difficulty about disposing Of the No
docs under arrest. If they are found
guilty of murder, they will be hung or
shot, and if it is proved that there was
an agreement for general uprising
among the tribes, the others will receive
the same punishment, as a warning to
Indians. He remarked, however, that
it was pity the guilty Modocs were not
shot at first, then all this commission
business and expense would have been
avoided. As to the killing already of a
few prisoners, General Sherman says
that those who committed the deed are
low blackguards and murderers,
who had nothing whatever to do with
the army.
HORIZONS SCHEMES.
Horizons swindling operations are said

five thousand dollars. Merchants and

THF POLARIs INVESTIGATION
A Washington special says the testi-
mony of Captain Tyson and Sergeant
Meyer in the Polaris investigation has
been received from the stenographer,
and will be printed as soon as possible.
Their statements contain altogether
about fifty-five thousand words, and the
entire mass of their testimony is con-
firmatory of the fact that the separation
from the vessel was accidental, and that
there was entire unanimity among the
crew and officers in the desire to pro-
ceed northward; that the discipline on
board the vessel was excellent, and all
were working together in harmony in
carrying provisions from the vessel, eX-
pecting every moment that she would
be jammed and broken between the ice,
when she suddenly separated from the
foe, and that it was wholly an acci
dental Occurrences; and, so far as the
crew could know, that BuddingtOn was
on the ice instead of 1he vessel.
