War With the ModOcs.

The shooting OF Gen. CANDY oy one
Of the treacherous Modes, aud the
probable determination Of the Indians
ofthat tribe, may be regarded as be-
log among the most important events
of the times. The murder of Gen.
Candy, . man SO worthy aud 80 high

society in which be has lived aud
moved during several years passed,
his given rise to many comments and
called out the passions Of men against
he unfriendly tribo to an extent sci
ION witnessed in the history Of our
country. We dc not wonder at the
feeling that has been excited on the
subject fer Gen. Candy had few equals
as a commander, aud as a worthy an !
upright nan. But We are q little sur
prised at the dispatch sent over the
wires from Washington, sane tiOa;ng

Why should an entire nation, includ

among the ModOcs who have disap-

and have most heartily regretted th'
shameful act Of which be was guilty
Ii seems however that tais tribe h:i
ca used our troops a great deal o

enmity has existed between oul

from the treaebery Of the latter, thei

BEHIND TIE ScESEs.-In Wash
ington is the title of new book, now
in the hands of the National Pub
fishing Company. The following eI-
tract we take from the advance sheet.
1t speaks a volumn of history In
few wards. We have no doubt bu'
that the book will be very interesting,
for it gives plain and truthful
sketches Of Congressman aud Sena-
tors, also other government officials.
1t says of the lobbyists:
1t is very common for the lobbyists
20 approach public men through their
families. Mrs A. or Mrs. B will re-
celve magnificent presents from per
soDs who are but little more than
casual acqusintances. Their frst i'm
Pulse is to return the articles, but they
are so handsome, and just what they
have been wanting so long, without
being able to afford them out Of their
husbands incones-for the Lobbyists
are careful to inform themselves what
will be most acceptable-aDd so, after
little struggle, they decide to keep
the gifts.
Of course some especial civility
must be shown the givers Of the pres
eDts. This is done, aud the first point
of the lobbyist is gained. 10 little
while the wife is won over. She thinks
the scheme an excellent one and
honestly thinks it too--and will be
o beneficial to the country! She does
not like to NEEDLE in her husband S
affairs, bot she will mention the mat
ter to him. The better half Of the
official being thus secured, the re-
maiuder can and does make but a
feeble resistance, aud his aid is secur
ed for the scheme.
This is lobbying 10 its mildest form
aud 5ficial integrity has sunk to so
low an ebb that it sees nothing wrong
iu 1t. Mems conscience are tough
now, and that nice sensitiveness Of
honor which once marked the public
men of our country, seems to have
departed from US. Men go into pub
lie life DOW to make money, as they
would enter upon a trade. The lobby
offers them a Sne opportunity for the
qualification of their desires, aud they
are not slow to avail themselves Of it.,
Alas for TIE country 10 the hands Of

The Ironton Register in an editori-
al, makes use of the following sensi-
bic suggestions:
ATTENDING GHURcH:-Itis "a good
thing to go to church. Leaving out
all consideration Of the important al
Tentative of He'll OF Heaven, it is still
a good thing to 60 to church. Its
habit that elevates. The very sur
rOundings, the atmosphere of the
thing, is good. A person may even
not care for the preaching, aud let
his mind run through the fields, along
the streets, among the affairs of his
business, down the dim vesta of the
Past or into the Future, and yet, be
may carry home an angel in his heart.
There is something 10 the clean
bright faces; the goodly apparel, the
respect for order, solemn quietude of
the gathering-iu, the simple melodies,
that has kindly effect upon a man
and lulls many Of his bad fancies for
days to come. If everybody void 60
to church, there would be a brighter
aspect Of affairs through all the
avenues of life. A church going peo-
lie are happy, thrifty, prosperous
people. Gambling holes, whisky
shops, obsccnity and profanity, bet
ting on horse races, election sprees,
and all such recede as church going
increases.
