vHr CAPTAIN JACK SURRENDERED.
Boston Charley and Sc0Achin Will
Probably Share His Fate.
The opinion is that He Will be Shot,
Twelve Modocs Still at Large

Twelve MOd0cs Sill at Large.
SANFRANCIsCo, June Z. There have been
no operations around the lava beds since
Jacks surrender.
Jack says he surrendered because he could
hold out no longer The opinion is that
Gen. Davis will shoot Capt. Jack, Boston
Charley and Schonchin without waiting
forany suggestions from civil authorities.
A correspondent of the Bulletin had a
talk with Boston Charley, who said the
majority of the captives were prepared to
die like men. Capt. Jack cares for nothing.
He does not speak to any person eXcepthis
sister Mary.
Boston Charley says twelve Modocs are
still at large. Col. Green's command is
still hunting for them. - -
A dispatch from Sag Point, dated June
4th. says Gen. Davis command with all
the captives were at Applegate's house
and were to come to Boyle's camp that
day.
Hooper Jim and Steamboat Frank are
hunting after the missing warriors and
squaws in that vicinity. Sleepy Tom has
just came from an island in Little KIa-
math lake with Teepee Jacks squaw and
three children.
Gen. Davis Acts with Promptness.
BoYLE's CAMP, June So A. M.-Late
yCSlOluesy dltCilloOn, q uCbdil W uCu U6-
longing to the artillery arrived in camp
from Timber mountain, near the peninsu-
lar, with twenty juniper logs, clean and
straight, and evidently not intended for
use in the erection of tents for the prison
ers. Many persons marveled for what
purpose the timber had been obtained.
This morning, however, the secret is out.
General Davis intends erecting scaffoId
for the execution of about one dozen of the
worst murderers in the tribe at sunset to-
morrow. He feels that there is no need
for delay, as no doubt of the guilt of the
intended victims can exist, and Justice de-
mands speedy and certain action even at
this time. He is now writing a statement
of their offenses, which will be read to the
condemned ModOcs.
A still later dispatch says Gen. Davis,
after having completed all the arrange
ments for the execution of the Iodoes, re
ceived orders from Washington to hold
the prisoners until further advised, and he
is thus stopped in his contemplated work.
The feeling in camp is one ofprofound dis
gust at this action.

We advise every little grammarian just enter
ing on the study to commit TO memory the 70
lowing lines. and then they never need max
errors in speech. The author-whoever he is
deserves much credit:
Three little words you often see,
Are articles, a, an and the.
A nouns the name of anything,
As school or garden, hoop or swing.
Adjectives tellthe kind Of noun,
As great, small, pretty, white or brown.
Instead of nouns the pronouns stand:
Her head, his face, your arm, my hand.
Verbs tell something to be done
To read, count, sing laugh, jump, run.
How things are done the adverbs tell,
As slowly, quickly, ill or well.
CoDjunctions join the words together,
As men and women, wind or weather.
The propositions stand before
A noun, as of or through door.
The interjections show surprise,
As ah how pretty-oh how wise.
The whole are called nine parts of speech,
Which reading, writing, speaking teach.

Learn n Trade.

In his annual report of common school,
Professor Wickersham says:
"There amrue ltitudes idly waiting for va
can't clerkships and untitled offices, while
mechanical work more honorable and more
remunerative, invites on all sides the eff
forts of willing hands. 1t is a fact as
startling as it if fsignificant, that of 1900
criminals in the United States in 1868,
ninetyseven per cent. of them had never
learned trade. Out of 240 convicts re-
ceived at the eastern penitentiary last
year, only twelve had been apprenticed
and served their time.n HFaRss

THE INDIAN QUESTION FROM A LEGAL
STANDPOINT.
Their Amenabili'y Clearly Dem0nstra

Oners.

The Attorney General ON the MOdoc FRS
| WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE following is
| the opinion of the Attorney General on
the question submitted by the War Depart
ment, relative to the captive Modocs:
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
June Z, 1873. ]
| To the President:
| SIR-I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt from you of several papers rela-
| tive to the Modoc Indians, now in the GUS
| tody of the United States army, with re-
quest for my opinion as to the authority to
| try certain of the prisoners by military
tribunal. The main facts out of which the
question arises are these: In 1864, the
United States made a treaty with these In
dians, by the terms of which they were to
go and remain upon a reservation in the
State of Oregon.
Beginning Of the sfodoe TrOnbIe.
Late last fall the Indians being away
from their reservation, a military detach-
ment was sent to procure their return.
Finding them unwilling to go peaceably
the officer indicated his determination TO
use compulsion, in consequence OF which
conflict ensued between the United States
troops and the Indians. Soon after several
peaceable citizens and their families in the
vicinity were murdered by Indians of
this band. They then intrenched them
selves in the lava beds, in the neighbOr
hood. Fighting ensued and one or more
severe battles fought, in which persons
on both sides were wounded and killed
and the United States troops were repulsed,
Pending ,hostilities, negotiations were
opened for peace, and on the 18Th of April
last, Gen. Candy, Rev. Mr.. Thomas and
Mr.. Meacham, at point between the op-
posing forces and in pursuance of mutual
agreement to that end met Captain Jack,
the leader of the Modoes, with some of his
chief warriors, to discuss the terms of a
treaty, and while so engaged Gen. Candy
and Mr.. Thomas were treacherously assas-
sinated and Mr.. Meacham severely wOun-
ded by the Indians present upon that oc-
casiOn. Battles followed, and Captain Jack
and all or most of his tribe have been cap
tured and are now in the hands of the mil
itary authorities.
Gen. Sherman, in a communication to
the Secretary of War, dated the Sd inst,
recommend that such of these Indians as
have violated the military law be tried by
military tribunal. This recommends
ton is approved by the Secretary of War.

Result of the Credit MobIlier Inves-
tigatiOn.

On Monday of last week, the second
contest came off on the report of the
Credit Mobiier Com. Gen. Farnsworth
led of with motion that the whole sub
ject be laid upon the table. The roll
call was made in profound silence and
the result awaited with breathless inter
est. Leading democrats like Beck, FL
bridge, VOORHEES,, Adams, Perry and
others voted aye with Gen. Butler,
Hooper and other prominent republic
cans. The result was SO to 161. Mr..
Sargent of California, then asked to
have read a substitute proposed by him,
reciting that as the offences charged
were committed more than four years
ago, and serious doubts exist as to the
power of Congress to punish offences
committed before individuals became
members, and resolved that the House
condemn the conduct of Cakes Ames
and James Brooks. The House voted
on this as substitute for expulsion, and
at first the result stood 102 to 116. If
it had thus remained the next vote would
have been squarely on the resolutions Of
expulsion, but Sergeant and others
drdmmad up absentees and secured
change Of votes, until the result stood
at lbs 10 Ito. and The substitute was
al ped. All the Credit Mubilier Con.
sr,ssmen RETAINED from voting at this
point but Hooper of Mass. Then the
question required on censuring Ames,
AID it was carried by 1Sl to &c., such
democrats as Beck, Adams, Eldridge
and VOORHEES, voting even against GEN.
sure. The resolution to censure Brooks
was carried by about the same vote
Ill to 80. But little interest was man
itested, and the tedious roll-calls thin
ed out the spectators. When Cakes
Ames' name was called on the censure
vote, every eye in the House was upon
him, but the old man did not seem
dazed at all, but sat behind fresh boz
quet which Mrs. Gen. Sherman had sent
him, and seemed to enjoy the scene more
than on previous days. He did not vote
on that resolution, nor on the one to
censure Brooks, but the latter, when his
name was called on the censure of Ames,
shouted out "No," in clear, loud voice,
not in consonance with the emaciated
appearance of the man. He sat with
roll-call and checked every vote in his
favor, and when it was all over he
frightened up and converscd freely. He
walked down the aisle, where Ames was
sitting, and the two, with the whole
House and its crowds watching them,
chatted away. Then Brooks went over
to where Rainey, that colored member
from South Carolina, was sitting, and
said to him Rainey, have been an
enemy of your race all my life, but /
come to thank you for your vote for me
to-day. Henceforth am the friend of
you and your friends"

CURIOUS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Con-
vERsIoN.-During the call of the yeas
and nays on the votes of censure in the
Credit Mobilier case, Mr.. Brooks was
noticed to be intently watching large
sheet of paper before him, and checking
off the names as they were called. He
was checking the list of members as
they gave their votes. Three colored men,
bers voted against the censure of Brooks
-Rainey, Elliott and Turner. After
the vote Mr.. Brooks went with feeble
step to the seat of Mr.. Rainey and said
in substance: Mr.. Rainey. l have been
the enemy of your race, and have con-
sistently opposed its progress, but the
manner in which you have stood by me
by your vote in this my EXTREMIST hour
of need and distress has made me the
