THE MODoC HANGING.

SAN Francisco, October 3.-The pre-
parations have been completed for the
hanging of Captain Jack, Schonchin,
Boston Charlie, Black Jim, Brancho
and Sioux at ten o'clock a. m. to-
day, at Fort KLAMATH. The scat
fold is large contrivance, erected just
outside the fort. Some delay may be
occasioned by the circumstance that the
order for the execution will have to be
interpreted for the condemned. They
seem much depressed from the know
ledge of their impending fate.
The hanging will be i'll the presence
Of the Klamath and other Indians fol
the purpose Of making wholesome i'm
preston upon the minds of the savages
in that section. White citizens have
gathered from all parts of the country
to witness the tragedy. After Captain
jacks death the remainder of his tribe
will not be surrendered to the Oregon
authorities, but transferred to Fort Rus
sell. The remnant Of the tribe amounts
to one hundred and fifty-six men, wo
men, and children. Captain Hasbrouck
will escort them to the fort with the
Fourth artillery.
As the place of execution is over one
hundred miles from the nearest tele
graph office, the announcement of the
execution will not probably reach herr
before Saturday morning.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The Presiden
issued orders some days ago for the com
mutation of the sentences of Sioux anC
Barncho, of the Modoc prisoners from
hanging, to imprisonment for life at Al
catras Island, San Francisco harbor
The ground for this action of the Exc
cutive is that these Indians were no
chiefs, but stood in the relative position
of private soldiers, obeying the orders
Of their commander, Capt. Jack.

A lie ter from Camp Stambaugh,

A lie ter from Camp Stambaugh, Wy
oming Territory of September 20,
says that an exhibition sent out by
General Ord last summer has just re-
turned from Yellowstone Lake after
successfully accomplishing its mission,
which was to find, if possible, a new
and much shorter route than the one
now travelled from the Pacific railroad
to Montana. The opinion of old guides,
Indians, and mountain men was against
the probability that any new route
could be found. The idea has hereto
fore been an impossible range of noun
tains existed at the southern end of
Yellowstone Lake, but the expedition
not only proved this to be fallacy, but
found that an excellent wagon road can
be made across the range. From the
Point of Rocks ON the Union Pacific
Railway the lake, by the newly discov-
cred route, could be reached with only
little over two hundred and fifty
miles of stage-coach travel. The utili-
cation of this new route will prove of
great benefit to the people of Wyoming
and Nebraska.

THE GREAT ALLIANCE.

Steinway Hall, New York, was filled
with an immense throng yesterday
morning. Every seat was filed ut ten
o'clock. Aid from policeman was
called in by the ushers to keep the
crowd out of the aisles. The galleries
had not an empty space anywhere
visible. One involuntarily glanced at
the supports to be assured of their
stanchness. Outside a throng which
was constantly receiving additions
filed the sidewalk. Most of the audience
were above middle age, and there was
that about their faces which showed
how little was needed to transform inter
est into enthusiasm.
1t was thus transformed as soon as the
opening exercises began, and as time
passed the enthusiasm became in some
instances of the widest sort. When
the hymn, "All hail the power Of
Jesus name" was sung by the entire au-
dience, each singer apparently attempt
ing deeper and louder testimony to his
personal sense of its truth.
The proceedings were opened with re-
ligious exercises, and an address by
Hon. William e. Dodge. Theodore
Woolsey, of New Haven, ex-presldent
of Yale college, was elected president,
with long list of vice presidents-New
Jersey being represented by +. 7. Free
linghuysen.
DR.. Woolsey, on assuming the chair,
made an address, after which addresses
were made by distine uished clergymen
from various parts of the world. The
afternoon session was held at Associa-
ton hall, and in the evening there were
two, one at Association hall and the
other at the church on the corner of
Fourth avenue and Twenty -secondstreet.
All three were very largely attended.
Before the close of the alliance, the
members will in body visit Philadel-
phia, at the invitation Of Mr.. George FL.
Stuart, where great meeting will be
held.

Another Victim Of "Non- Explosive"

Kerosene oil has secured another
victim to be added to the long list OF
those who believe it is non-explosive.
Mrs. Erasmus Iverson, the wife of q
matchmaker in the employ of f.
Lion, was so severely burned by
kerosene oil this morning that her
life is dispaired of. She arose at 6
o'clock and started fire, but, the
fire not burning rapidly enough to
suit her, she tried to hasten it by
pouring oil on from can containing
about half gallon. The fluid in
simultaneously exploded, and envel-
oped her in sheet of flame. Her
husband came 10 her rescue, but did
not succeed ia extinguishing the
flames until the poor victim of her
own folly was burned beyond recov-
cry. Mr.. Iverson and his wife were
occupying q suit of rooms over j.
Bells drugstore.

decline of the Legal Profession
CRrOm the Fort Wayne Qnd., Gazette.


Such is the subject of most sensi-
BILE address by Professor Kent to the
graduating class in the law depart
ment of the University of Michigan
a few days since. The Professor is
convinced that there has been such
q decline from the fact that the law
yers no longer constitute the aris-
tocracy of America" as in De Toe
queviIle's opinion they did fifty
years ago, and Professor Kent en-
deavors to account for this decline
by the following reasons l, less
reverence is attached to the profess
sions in general than was formerly
the case; 2, the increased training
and education of other classes makes
it no longer possible for lawyers to
be exclusive leaders of the public 3,
the pursuit of wealth by means of
speculation draws lawyers outside of
their chosen sphere; 4, the increased
oxity of the requirements for admis-
sion to the profession /; 5, the I'M
worthy practices of lawyers in brow
beating witnesses and managing
trials. Such is q meager.0ut-line of
Professor Kent's well.worded and
manly address.
In this State, undoubtedly one
great cause why the legal profession
does not occupy higher position in
the public estimation is because the
standard of qualification for member
ship in that important profession is
so low. A certificate of moral char
acter are all that Tom, Dick and
Harry need to become members OF
the Bar in this State. Is it any
wonder that the profession is dis
graced with lot ofpoor pettifoggers
who are as ignorant of law as Hot
tentot of theology? There is need
of constitutional convention in this
State if for no other reason than to
vindicate the honor of the legal pro-
fession by requiring some decent
qualification on the part of those
who could join that profession.
But there is one thing more than
all others which, in our opinion, has
tendency to destroy that public re.
spect for the legal profession which
might otherwise be given to it, and
that is the unreasonable md reck-
less manner in which lawyers at
tempt to shield well-known GRIMM
ais from punishment. A lawyer is
under the same obligation to pro-
mote justice and aid in securing the
protection and welfare of society
that any other citizen is. And yet
it has come to be the fashion with
lawyers to think that the acquittal
of their client, irrespective of his
guilt or innocence, is the great OBJ
ject to which they are solemnly obi
gated to bend every energy. They
seem to forget that society has any
claims on them whatever, and think
that their sole duty is to hedge noto-
rions scoundrels about with such le-
gal technicalities, and bubbles and
evasions as will effectually block the
wheels of acknowledged justice, and
set such scoundrels free to prey
again upon the vitals of society.

Diversified Industry.
(Frcm the Milwaukee ssntinel)

1t would be singular if all this
clamor and agitation over the rail.
road question and the transporta-
ton in the west, should cease with.
out opening the eyes of the farmers
TO the great necessity of diversified
labor and home manufactures.rIt is 8
mistaken notion to suppose that all
the ills they labor under can be
cured by law of Congress, or by q
State Legislature, that shall regulate
the freight tariff on railroads. That
will be a good thing to do, no doubt,
but i. will not prove perfect pana-
cea for low prices, poor crops and
exclusive rates. The great stress
that is felt by the agriculturalists OF
the Mississippi Valley every winter
is not altogether the fault of the
greedy monopolists who carry the
grain to market, nor of the commits
sion men who buy and sell and grow
rich upon the labor and small profits
of the producer. The first great
fault in the policy is, that there is
too much coarse grain raised to sell
and send away, and the consumers
are too far away from the men who
produce the bread and meat that
supports them. These two classes
of workers must be brought togeth-
or in closer ambitions and have their
mutual relations regulated by self
interest before they will receive the
highest good from each others toll.
The great West is being settled and
developed ten times as fast as new
facilities are being provided to car
ry off or consume her surplus pro-
duets, and unless some of the im-
mense army of our agriculturalists
turn their labor into other channels
and convert their coarse grains into
a more condensed form, the freight
trains to the sea.board will continue
to he clogged, the prairie farmers
will continue to burn corn in winter,
and the New England mechanic will
will continue to pay high prices for
bread. If the shoemakers at Lynn,
and the hatters at Danbury, and the
cotton.spinners at Lowell, and the
carriage builders at New Haven,
could be transported to the rich soil
of the West, the problem of cheap
transportation would be half solved.
and the way open for the speedy So
luton of the other half of it. That
would be sort of practical free
trade that the tariff would have
nothing to do with, and it's opera.
ton would not need to depend upon
the action of congress.
