Wheeler's cavalry was close upon his

er, smarting under the escape of Davis,
madly charged upon the poor negroes,
and men, women and children were driv-
en- into the muddy waters of the creek
where many were drowned A fearful
howl was re-echoed through the country
at what partiZan journals denominated
Davis criminal cruelty" and a con-
gressional committee was instructed to
inquire into the circumstances of the
massacre at Ebenezer Greek. All army
officers familiar with the facts justified
Davis in resorting to this alternative to
save his command, and the committee
were forced to the same conclusion.
When the war closed Davis held some
minor positions, and finally went out to
Alaska to receive it on behalf of the
United States. In the execution of that
mission he gave entire satisfaction to our
government and that of Russia, from
which he received the territory. More
recently he was stationed in New York
in charge of the recruiting service in
this district.
1t would be difficult to find an officer
in the army more prompt to carry out to
the letter the orders of his superiors,
and those who served with him in many
engagements express the belief that If 1t
be the desire of the war department and
the President to extermenate the treach-
erous Modocs they have in General Da-
Wis a man who will allow none to escape
the vengeance of his troops.

The SeHOoL TAx.-We understand
that some school districts in the State
find themselves in an awkward position,
from having voted a tax at their annual
meetings, not understanding that under
the present law, it would be assessed on
the grand list of 1872, instead of 1873.
Our graded school district voted their
tax at an adjourned meeting, held after
April 1st, so that it might be raised on
the list of the present year. Other
school districts, we understand, took the
same course. 1t will be a simple matter
for districts, that voted taxes at their an
nual meeting, to remedy the difficulty
they are in, if they so desire. A special
school meeting, called for that purpose,
can rescind the action taken at the an
nual meeting, and vote new tax which
will, under the law, be assessed on the
grand list of 1878.

The Atlantic Decision

A decision has been rendered bv the
court OF Inquiry into the causes of the
Atlantic disaster, and it is a righteous
verdict so far as it goes TO the facts, but
no further. They find, in substance.
that there was an insufficient supply of
coal that it was inferior in quality; that
there was want of vigilance in not OBJ
serving the lights, and that there was
gross error in estimating the ships
speed The conduct of Captain Williams,
IN leaving the dock at midnight, is con-
demned, and, say the Court, chad the
very ordinary precaution been taken of
sending a lookout at intervals to the
mast head, the disaster would, in human
probabilities, have been prevented. But
the greatest, and perhaps the fatal error
was IN the fact that the lead was never
used, although the ship was in sound
lngs for eight hours before she struck {"
As an offset to this censure, they find
that the course of the Captain in ''bear-
up for Halifax" was prudent, and that
the conduct of the Captain and his of
ficers, after the ship struck, was all that
could be demanded of the men in their
trying positions. The meaning of the
verdict or report is, that parsimony ruled
in fitting out the vessel, and that in
| competency ruled on deck The Allan
tic, freighted with a thousand human
| beings, was suffered to leave her dock
in Liverpool with barely sufficient coal
to make her trip under favorable circum-
stances, no allowance being made for
head winds or other unfavorable weather,
but in the month of March, the stormiest
season OF the year, to save few miser-
able, paltry dollars, the agents or own
ers of the White Star Line risk the lives
of these passengers. Not only this.
But with this insufficient coaling, they
place these lives in the charge of in
competent men. The Captain was I'M
able, by calculations, observations, or
otherwise, to ascertain the ships position.
Proper watchfulness was not observed,
either through negligence or ignorance,
and the result of all this is the terrible
loss of life, of which we have had occa-
sion SO often to speak. After having
fearlessly reported the facts as they
find them to exist, what judgment does
this court proceed torender? The White
Star Line is not condemned or censured,
except in SO far as it may follow the
statement of the fact that there was an
insufficient supply of coal Not word
of censure do they utter for the en-
ployment of incompetent officers and a
crew of paupers and dock lOafers. They
do find, however, that they ''are justi-
fed in censuring Captain Williams" and,
therefore, suspend his certificate" for
two years, while the fourth officer,
Brown, is suspended for three months.
/ Lame and impotent conclusions indeed.
! Williams cannot command an English
ocean steamer for two years, while
Brown will be landsman for three
months Such IS English justice. Such
is the ccnsure bestowed for gross persi-
mony, and the punishment awarded for
criminal negligence. Commend us to
such steamship lines for security, and to
such Courts of Inquiry for censure and
/ punishment

Davis, the officer
Colonel jefferson I. IA CANDY in
who succeeds the murder Hoerat-
command of the u. S. forces y
ing against the band of Captain Jach,
was, when the war broke out, a second
lieutenant of artillery in Fort Sumpter
and distinguished himself in its stubborn
defence under Major Anderson. Later,
after his exchange, he operated in Mis-
souri, and Arkansas with the forces com
batting the Confederate General Sterling
Price. In these Southwestern campaigns
he distinguished himself both as an in
fautry and cavalry commander and at
one time commanded division. He
subsequently, was assigned to the COM
mand of General Nelson at Louisville,
in organizing troops at that point, but,
becoming involved in a difficulty with
Nelson, weapons were drawn in the
Gait House, and Davis killed his superb
or officer He was tried by court mar
tial and honorably acquitted. Still later
he served as brigadier-general of in
fantry under Rosencrans in the army of
the Cumberland, and was raised to the
rank of major-general of volunteers,
and commanded division at Chicka-
manga and the battles about ChattanCo-
ga. In all his engagements he was not
ed for caution, able strategy and per
sonal bravery, and was implicitly trust
ed by his superiors and esteemed as a
faithful officer. On the resignation of
General - afterwards Governor John
M. Palmer of Illinois, as commander of
the old Fourteenth Army corps, Davis
succeeded to the command and remained
its leader in all the battles during the
summer campaign of 1864, against ATTAIN
ia in the march to the sea, and the adj
vance through the Carolinas to Rich
mond and Washington. AT Ebeneezer
Greek, in the rear of Savannah, Davis
command was to encountered by negro
refugees that it fell far behind the other
corps, and was in danger of attack and
humiliation by the Confederate forces
on its flank and rear. In this dilemma
Davis resolved to save his corps at all
hazards, and stationing a guard on the
Ebeneezer Greek bridge, stopped all the
refugees-some six thousand in number
until his troops and trains had passed
over safely. He then burned the bridge
and leaving the negroes on the north
side of the creek, made forced march,
saved his corps, and participated in the
attack upon Savannah. At this time
