The New York Herald thinks the proper
remedy for the abuse Of the jury system
now universally complained Of is not TO
make taxation q qualification, but to re-
.quire every voter, without exception to
serve once in every year. and to accept no
fines as a substitute for actual service
The jukgcs should be required to issue
attachments and force this service, with
out parcialily, on every voter. by thus
compellsng the weathest and best men
to perform this duty, majority Of all our
jurles will invariably be composed of good
and true men.

Retribution at Last.

The people of Washington o0un-
ty have been Investigating their
county affairs, which resulted in the
finding Of ten separate indict
ments against j. p. Ball, ST.. the
President Of the Board of Supervi-
sors, and d lsO a member OF the
County School Board, upon only
one OF which the defendant was
tried, convicted, and subsequently
sentenced 10 imprisonment in the
Peuitentiary Tor period of three
yelss, the other indictments holding
over until the next term of the same
court. The Pilot, which gives this
information, adds:
IL is understood that Ball was convicted
for voting wnlawfnI aud yfctslioxs allowances
by the Board, knowing them to be such,
his son receiving the net results. If there
are others in the State, holding official po
sitions, who have been tempted to use
their places and opportunities to the fur
therance of their private purposes aud for
repieuishiug their private exchsquers, now
is the tina for them to trcmbie and stand
f.ou, under. We say, if there are such, let
them prepare for the bursting of the tel
pest. Their time has surely come.
This should encourage the Tax

Aud why are we Other wise, inttitter
ent to his coming South! Is it be-
cause he is the head OF a hostile par
ty? Because he was the successful
leader OF the Federal forces in the
overthrow of the Southern COnfed-
eracy? Not at all, for those OF any
similar reasons. Bnt it is because
of the stolid character and hard ma
ture of the man. 1t is because he
would make tour of observation
through our oOnntry with about as
much heart and sympathy, and
kindly intent to do justice, as a
butcher would survey herd that
he proposed to bny for the slaugh
ter pen. Grant has done things
tina. prove him. to our mind, to be
utterly destitute of principle OF hu
man feeling and even rough sense
of Justice. There is but one loop
hole that we can see for his escape
from this condemnation. 1t is that
he is an idiot and strikes blindly
and in the dark. That We do not
believe. He knows what he is
about, and self is his god. If Grant
and Grants own are provided for,
perditiOn may take the rest for all
Grant cares. He is a man without
soul, and he is an enemy to our
people, and therefore we trust that
he will spare eur people the sight
OF him.

encounter there were nineteen war

The Modocs Surrender.

Dispatches of the oath from San
Francisco, say. the war ia consider
ed over. Gen. Davis staff have
separated; some are at Yreka ell,
route for New Orleans. The few
horses ridden by the Modes were
gaunt and weak and scarcely able
to bear the women and children.
AS they rode into camp all the
braves wOrs portions Of the Fedora
uniform. All entered into camp in
funeral procession. There was no
noise among the soldiers. The Mo-
does said nothing.
General Davis advanced and was
formally introduced. Boston Char
ley is twenty years old and speaks
English well. He smiled meekly
and shook Davis hand, Davis de-
manded their pistols and other
arms. The Modes were then as
signed a camp, and were InfOrmed
by General Davis that they would
be shot if they attempted to escape.
There were half naked children aud
squaws who could hardly hobble.
Faircbild says there are twenty
back still i'm the cottonwood. The
dissatisfaction is confirmed by the
captain Of a band who said he par
ted with Captain Jack eight days
ago.
The army has divided into squads
to pursue Captain Jack and his
party.
Hooker Jim, the Lost River MUIR
derer, has just surrendered.
Gen. Schofield officially confirms
the unconditional surrender on the
part of the Modocs. Gen. Davis
reports himself in in hot pursuit OF
Capt. Jack and the remainder, and
hopes soon to end the war.
