to prove fataD numerous assaults, and
cases of drunkenness without number,
have occurred 10 our midst, the state
men, will no. DO denied that crime ia
fcarlully on the increase, and when We
reflect further that iu almost every in
stance the excessive use of ,chisky is ut
the bottom Of tho affair, the question
comes up the ten thousandth time chow
can this evil be corrected ?" That it
has not been corrected before is Ger.
tainly not attributable to any indiffer-
cnce or lack Of activity on the part Of
good order, for vigilance has been
s!ocpless and efforts untiring.-
Scarcely week in the year passes but
one or more temperance meetings arc
held in every village, town aud hamlet,
and set speeches, made up Of well
rounded sentences delivered to admir-
ing audiences.
Annually upon the assembling Of the
Legislature, memorials picturing in
strong colors the evils resulting from
the sale OF intoxicating drinks and
praying that the unholy traffic may be
"sque|ched", arc gotten mp by every
temperance organization in the country

is felt on the subject, committees are

tune MEMBERSHIP enc to 60 for "thc

time is occupied in the discussion Of
these measures by the Legislature, and
finally it adjourns without having pass

Now, suppose as an experiment, the

BoYLE's CAMP. June % A. M.
Yesterday afternoon detail OF men belonging to
Che artillery arrived IN camp from Timber Noun
tain, near the peninsula, with twenty juniper logs
clean and straight and evidently not intended for
use in the erection OF tents for the prisoners Many
persons marvelled for what purpose the timbers
had been obtained. This morning the secret
- out. General Davis intends 10 erect a
scanoid and execute about one dozen of
the worst murderers in the tribe at sunset to-
morrow. He feels that there IL no need for
delay, As no doubt OF the guilt or the intended
victims can exist anu justice demands speedy and
certain action even at this time. He is now writing
out a statement Of their oncnces, which will be
read to the condemned MOdocs.
A still later despatch says:-General Davis, after
having completed all the arrangements for the
execution OF the MsdOcs, received orders from
washington TO hold the prisoners until further adj
vtsed, and is thus stopped IN the contemplated
work. The feeling in camp is one OF profound dis
gust at this result.
One OF the Oregon volunteers. just arrived In
camp, says the troops captured five warriors, four
squaws and five children, among them Dave. The
prisoners were at Linkvne.
