THE MODOC PROBLEM.
General ShePmSuss VievyN.

HIS OPINION OF GEN. DAVIS REPORTED INTEN-
TIoN TO HANG THE PRIsoNERsrTHK GUILTY
sAvAGEs TO BE HANGED OK SHOT In ACCORD
ANCE WITH LAW.
NEW YORK, june 14.-General Sherman had
conversation with a reporter last evening,
and Is made to say of General Davis, concern
ing his indictment Of Captain Jack and the
preparations for hanging him and some Of his
associates, eff the statement Is correct there il
no doubt that General Davis must have exceed
ed his duty, and he would have been held re-
sponsible for his acts. He should be guided BY
military rules and the law. We all know they
are murderers; the President himself says they
are murderers, and had General Davis shot
them while they were being pursued, 1 do not
think he would have exceeded his duty. He
did not do this and could not Afterwards shoot
them in cold blood. General Davis report to
General Schoheld may differ from that pub
lished in the papers. Davis is too experienced
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 officer" The General thinks there will
be no difficulty about
DIsPoeING OF THE MoDOCs UNDER ARREST.
Those found guilty Of murder will be hanged or
shot; and, If it is proved that there was an
agreement for a general uprising among the
tribes, others will receive some punishment, a.
a warning to the Indians. He remarked, how
ever, that ii was a pity the guilty Modocs were
not shot at first; then all this commission bust
ness and expense would have been avoided. As
to the killing already of q few prisoners, Gen.
Sherman says that those who committed the
deed are low blackguards and murderers, who
had nothing whatever to do with the army.

The Search for the PoIaris.

Secretary Robson this morning stated that
the steamer Junata would leave New York the
latter part of next week for Disco or Upper
navck, Ito reach the latter port if possible, in
the hope of obtaining some information of the
Polaris and the remainder of her crew. Letters
will be furnished Commander Brane to the
Danish authorities at Disco and Upper
navick, requesting them to cooperate with
that officer in securing information of the mis-
sing vessel. Secretary Robson hopes the Dan
ish authorities will be able to comm unicate
with the EsquimauX along the northern coast OF
Greenland, and thereby learn some tidings OF
the missing vessel
fitted out in the most complete manner for an
Arctic voyage for the purpose of making a
more extended voyage in search of the Polaris,
If niece ssary. She will sail from New York
about the 10th of July If the Juniata fails to
discover any trace of Buddington and party.
The last expedition will be in command of ex-
perienced naval officers and will make a
thorough search.

PROGRESS IN JAPAN.-Another mark of the
rapid progress of the Japanese in the elements
of modern viliZatiOn is the departure of Pro-
fessor David Murray, late OF Rutgers College,
New Jersey, to become superintendent of edu-
cation, and to have charge of all the schools
and colleges OF Japan. The empire has been
divided into eight districts, in each of which a
college is TO be established. These eight dis
tricts, again, are each TO be subdivided into
thirty-twO districts, i'm each of which is TO be a
high school 10 prepare students for the colleges.
And each of the two hundred and ffty-six high
school divisions thus formed is again to be
divided into two hundred and ten elementary
school divisions, corresponding 70 our common
school districts in this country. Attendance on
these elementary schools is TO be compulsory a.
to all children over six years of age, female a.
well as male, no matter how high or low their
rank in society may be. And thus not only is
Japan TO have an American superintendent OF
the education of her people, but her system of
schools, colleges, &c, Is substantially Ameri-
can, though in some important respects il is an
improvement on the original, for the grading
extends to all the various institutions, and entire
unity of plan and study is insured from the fact
that the system Is national and under the charge
OF single superintendent or head.
