SErr..ED.-From all accounts, the Modo
war may be considered ut an end, and the dim
culties between the Government and Captain
Jack satisfactorily arranged. The Peace Com
missioners. headed by Meacham, being afralt
to enter the lava country to have an intervle"

and meet them in council. The President
finally, added Judge Rosborough, of ireka, to
the Commission, and at his request Squire
Steele in whom the Modocs have great conf
derce, visited Captain Jack in his stronghold
and held long conference with him and his
leading men. He conveyed propositions tor q
settlement of the difficulties which seemed sat-
isfactory to Jack and his followers and on the
following day Steele returned to the head
quarters of the Peace Commissioners, accom-
panied BY six or eight of jacks warriors, when
the basis of treaty and settlement were agreed
upon The grand council had not been held
up to last advicss, as Jack was sick in cave
in the lava bed and unable to come out and
meet the Commissioners. but he expressed his
satisfaction with the terms offered. and, proba-
bly,, ere this, the whole affair is settled. The
terms offered and agreed upon are that Cap
tain Jack and his band are to surrender to
General Candy, who is to protect them; com
plete amnesty for past ofenses; and they to be
removed to Angel Island San Francisco, where
they will be kept and provided for until a res
erYaton shall be set apart for them in South

are highly incensed at the Commission not re-

criminals and witnesses against them, are confined in the same room, which habit is apt to defeat the end ofjustice, as it gives every l prisoner an opportunity to tamper with witnesses, we would suggest that speedy steps be taken to- wards affording the cOuuty better jail accommodations. In cOnnec- ton with this matter, attention is called to the fact, that the peO- pie of Yuma county, A. T., have but little knowledge of the sheriff of this county in an official capaci- ty, he residing in another portion of the county, far away from the County seat, this fact shows at once that even, if he so intended, it weuId be impossible for him to give as required, the ptoper atten- tiOn to his official duties.
 We would call attention to the very indiscriminate and careless use of firearms in our midst, to which the officers authorized to suppress such unlawful proceed ings do not give the proper atten- ton.
 We believe that an impression prevails among our peace officers, that it is not entirely safe to make an arrest without a warrant; the prevalence of such belief-if it eX- ists-tends towards rendering the lives of our citizens insecnre, and towards the encouragement and increase of crime.
 We consider that thanks are due to his honor the Judge and the District Attorney, for assistance rendered us, and to our Foreman and Clerk for the manner in which they have discharged their duties.
 Your Grand Jury having cOm- pleted their labor, and made this, their final report, would respect fully ask that they be discharged.

 thought seriously of starting a paper there. Your people have Intelligence, energy and enter
 rise, and should see 10 it that POur efforts in behalf of their city's Interests are rightly appreciated Ind materially sustained. It has bften occurred to me, while in Arizona, that the military-the Officers and soldiers of the army ktationed in the Territory, do not, as a body of intelligent, apprcia- Live men, more numerously pa &ronize their "home" (the Ari- kona) papers! Army officers should hot forget that the fact they wear Ehe uniform does not make them kny the less citizens, in the high est and best adaptation of the term. They should feel and take an interest in all that concerns Ehe county in which they may be Stationed.
 Speaking thus of newspapers, there is another matter: During my stay in Arizona, being at the various military posts, l observed that there is not at any Of there such a Li6rury for the use of the soldiers as these days of enlight- |ment and intellectually demand. Because man enlists in the |army, that does not, necessarily, |"emasculate" him; that does not render him an inanimate object Ia slaye-a mere machine, with nO Judgment, intelligence or power |of reason, as is too geteerdtty tho | |by men in the American army. q speak from an observation of, and Intimate acquaintance herewith, of some twenty-five years Let an enlisted man feel and know that, although but "a poor, hum- ble soldier" to-day, he can De made a Colonel tomorrow, if he has the ability, mental fitness and moral worth This, sirs, is nay idea, my beau ideal of what the American Army should be.

 Second Judici@ District, Ie1ri-
 tory of Arizona.
 YUMA, A. T.,
 March ?, 1873.
 Your Grand Jury impannelled for this term of Court, beg leave to submit the following as their final report
 We have found four (4) true bills for the crime of Murder, one true bill for the chime of Grand Lar ceny ,and three bills for Misdemea- nor. We have examined into and ignored two cases of felony.
 Committees appointed out of our body visited and examined into the. condition of following offices County Treasurer, Re- corder, Probate Judge, District Attorney, Sheriff, Clerk of the District Court, and Public Admin istrator. We also examined into the condition of the County Jail, and find that the first six offices are properly kept, their records full and easy of access. In regard to the office of Public Administra- tor, we find that Mir. John s. Carr is in possession of the papers be- longing thereto, but that he dis claims being the incumbent, eX- plaining that he merely acts as custodian of the papers until he IS directed to turn them over to the proper official.
 The papers belonging to the Public Administrators office, shown to and examined by us, would appear imperfect; and of any proper record, nothing was found; of funds appertaining to the office there were none; the blame for this state of affairs rests with the predecessor of the last incumbent, against the bondsmen of whom, we understand, suit has been commenced to recover the defieney in the funds, some two thousand three hundred dollars. Should there really be at the present time vacancy In the office of the Public Administrator, we would consider it advisable that such vacancy be filled as speedily as possible.
 In relation to "condition of Jail" " we find that it does not furnish sufficient security for the safe keeping of prisoners, and that
