According to the reports of to-day from the
Modoc country, Capt Jack sad his hand have
at last been Gagged; though judging by .he mast
IL is not an unlikely event that postscript NAV
announce that he has escaped again. The
question now comes up: What shall be done
with them? and the inquiry is complicated by
the fact that the capture Of the leader of the
Modoc band and the squad Of followers who
kept with him to the last, was effected. through
the agency of some Of the Modocs who have
been greater offenders in the way of unpro-
voked murder than Capt. Jack himself. Boston
Charlie, who was prominent in tracking Capt
Jack to his last hiding place, was the treach-
erous villain who shot the missionary, DIR.
Thomas, in cold blood. Hooker Jim, another
OF the blood-hounds employed to track Capt
Jack, was the bloodiest of the murderous gang
engaged in the slaughter of the settlers at Lost
River; and all the others of the Modoc party
who Joined in the betrayal of their chief are
blackened with especial feats of murderous
deviltry, for which the vengeance of justice
seems to be imperatively demanded. Can it be
that Gen. Davis, in order to save himself little
troublesome and dangerous campaigning in
quest of the remnant of the Modoc band, has
weakly bargained with these perfdious rascals
to grant them immunity for the past as a re-
ward for the betrayal of their chief? We trust
not, and yet IL is hardly probable that they
would perform this service without some hope
of being benefited by it. The problem how to
deal with the captured Modocs whether by the
civil or military arm of the Governments
likely to be a troublesome one; and 1t is to be
hoped that no additional entanglements will be
presented through any rash guarantees OF Gen.
Davis to any of the gang.

We print elsewhere a report of the proceed
ings OF the meeting of stockholders of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Canal at Annapolis, Nd, YES
terday, and the report of President German. 1t
will be seen that the management is unchanged,
and that the per cent. increase in tolls is to be
adhered to. President German figures out a
cost Of A. cents per ton less for transportation of
coal from Cumberland by canal than by rail-
road. We quoted figures from the Cumberland
Times day or two since, showing that the cost
at present rates and charges was about the same
by canal as by railroad, and that the difference
in time in favor of the railroad was enough to
turn the ade in that direction, to say moth
ing of the fact that the coal shipped by rail
brings more in the market. Whose figuring is,
probably correct? Would the Consolidation
Coal Company ship by railroad If they could
ship by canal A. cents per ton cheaper? They
sent IL ,i2i tons Of coal to market by canal in
May, 1872. none in May, 1873. Would they have
made the change to the railroad if they could
save over ss;p0O in month by continuing to ship
coal by the canal? At the meeting of directors
after the meeting of stockholders President
German said " The wisdom Of the increase of
tolls is demonstrated by the increased revenue
Now this boasted increase of revenue is Just
S1O0.19 for the month of Nav, including receipts
from all sources, while the President Admits
that the coal tonnage decreased ), 2is tons below
the same month last year. 1.-THE Consolidation
Company find il profitable to ship by railroad
instead of canal how long will it be before other
companies follow them, causing still
further falling of in canal tonnage and in in
come.

One Of the most remarkable criminal trials of
the age began at Dover, Delaware, to-day-that
Of Dr. West, who is charged with the murder of
a eolored man under circumstances of peculiar
atrocity. The killing has since been admitted
by DIR. West, who asserts that Ii was done in
eelf-defence. The crime was committed in the
Doctors laboratory, where he was engaged,
with a colored assistant, in manufacturing an
inhaling gas called eIectro-oxygen. 1t is
charged that he murdered the colored man with
this gas, and that he subsequently skinned him
and then blew up the laboratory containing the
dead body. The state will claim on the trial
that the crime was committed for the purpose
Of obtaining e25, 900 in insurance policies on the
life Of DIR. West, and that the body of the col.
ored man was skinned and afterwards blown up
with the design Of palming IT of as his own; he
meanwhile intending to 60 to some distant
point where he would be joined by his wife
after she had drawn the amount Of the policies
on his life. Before he could leave the state,
however, he was arrested, the fact being fully
established that the mutilated body found was
not his own, but that Of his eolored assistant
The attorney general Of Delaware will conduct
the prosecution, and Hon. willard Salisbury
will appear for the defence. The trial will be
watched with great interest.
