JOHN sCHoNcuIN.

John Schonchin, brother of ''Old Schor-
chin, Jack predecessor i'll the Office of
chief is man about 10 years old. He
is a lighter c"lOred man than Jack, but is
4 great deal st"uter. being broad-shOulder-
Ell and quite corpulent. His hair is long
and straight and his eyes small and express
sionless. His face is pleasing in expression
and he is much less determined in look
than the younger chief. Schonchiu is u
rival to the place occupied by Captain
Jack, he believing that he had a hereditary
claim TO the Modoc throne. Consequently
lie and Jack have not been on the best of
terms, though i'll their horrible plot they
seem 20 have worked together. He is the
man Who Shot Meacham and inflicted the
wounds from which the latter is likely to
die. Schonchin, i'll all these peace uegoti-
auions, has been more eNacting in his de
nauds than even Jack himself On the
occasion Of Stecle'S first visit To the lava
beds, he was less friendly than any Of the
others. lie even went 50 far as to accuse
Steele Of wishing to talk with two
tongues" and The latter had to make him

Rev. DIR. Thomas. is a young Indian about
% years ofage. lie is practically white ard
his complexion quite clear. Hence the
name uf Boston given him by the In
dams, which signifies white. lie has no
history at ;,H, and gained no prominence
in the tribe until the peace negotiations
began. when he acted as messenger. He
was one of the young savages who came
out to Tai.child's with steele and party to
talk to General Candy about the first of
March The General treated them all
very kindly, and their return for this, is
his brutal massacre. Boston was be
Heyed to be one of the best dispositioned
Indians Ia the tribe. He was good -humor-
ed. always laughing and talking, and seem
ed to like the Whites better than the In
dians. He was one of those indicted by
the Oregon Grand Jury for the killing of
the settlers, but be w2s known to have
bad nothing to do with that matter, being
on the west side of the lake at the time.

An Open Confession.

When eX Governor Bullock, OF Massachusetts,
was called to preside over the recent Republican
State Convention, at Worcester, he illlowed the
eOstom Of making speech to return his thanks
for the honor conferred. But he did not muse
after doing this. He uttered some honest truths
which have heretofore been stoutly denied by
many of the leaders of that party; others refused
to credit the charges of corruption so long as they
had the temerity to do so in the face of the facts
that revealed the state OF corruption that existed
in the positions held by high Officials. Governor
Bullock has the honesty t. admit, rather to
charge, that "aiter such lapse of time and under
a system oil government which extends its patron
age, opportunities, and temptations over terrific
Tory OF imperial limits, aud amoag classes that
learn only too quickly the ways of official thrift,
Ii scandaIous Irregularities, ami immoHlltes had
not sprung up in the public service, al first de
MED, next conBived at, and afterwards condoned
under the pressure of impending elections. If i
sFeak OF that which ght occur, l speak we'll
OF that which in common belief has occurred
And these things have gone as far the good
name of any party or the public sense can bear
Governor Bullock knows all too well that the
Credit Mobilier swindle was of the gigantic
frauds of his party, which was "frst denied" by
Republican leaders and the very men who par.ici-
pated in It and enriched by the most bold
and astounding frund ever perpetrIted IN the
country. When it was fastened upon the bold
operators 10 the Republican party it was "condon-
ed under the pressure of Impending elections
and finally feebly condemned, ana this was the
case with a long list of offences committed by men
in high feather with the Administration and its
party.

John wilkes Booth-Is no Dead OF


The grave of John Wilkes Booth Is in Green
mount cemetry. 1t is in the family lot on the
west side of the grave Of his father. the famous
Junuis Brutus Booth. The circumstances of the
removal of the remains here from Washington are
well remembered, and their identity In the long
intervening years betwe an tha', and the present
time has never been Questioned The ST. Louis
Republican few days ago published q long mar
ratiye of a Mr. Maury, who says he saw "anotheT
man" named CrrTOll jackson Donaldson, last
June, a Mississippi Steamer, who alleges en-
pha iclllY that lie saw Booth in the month OF Sep
tember, 1866. on one of the Pellew Islands, on the
10 s, of Africa He says he knew Booth intimate
H., had met him IN Montgomery. (Ala, Baltimore
and other cities, and was not mistaken in his man.
Booth gave him long history of his travels, and
stated among other things that he had played
Richard III in Shanghai China, aud had met
j ohm Suratt at Rome. This man" Donaldson,
also relates n number of incidents to strengthen
the thread of his story and have the public believe
That Booth still lives. The only strange thing
abC the affair, is, that inventive genius has 80
long slumbered not to have put such a story
afoat long ago. If Booth still survives it will be
q nerally acknowledged that the Iuss practiced 10
his case was much more successful than one hero
abouis NOT many months ago in which the burned
and chlrred body OF an "uT kOwn" was endeaVoT-
ed to be palmed off on public cTedulty. AS it is.

Grant and Butler.

The Boston Advertiser (Republcan) complains
that the Grant Administration packed the navy
yard at Boston with men for whom there was no
work, their duties being merely to draw their pay
from the Government funds and work for Ben.
Butler at the primary elections. The New Yolk
World hints that this was done because Butler
kindly carried through Congress a bill giving
Grant au additional $4,000 each year Of his
