La Libertad de sccion, sea la com

WITCHCRAFT REPEATING ITSELF =
Nltchcratt as well as history must be cred
tied with the power of reproduction. Since
the revolutionary epoch i'll Judea, when a
vast number OF good swine were sacrificed
and corner in pork probably induced by
evil necromancy, the subtle and dangerous
influence has had manifestations at various
periods and III different parts of the world
For two hundred years the forces of dia-
bleric have been supposed to be laid in
this country by the vigorous measures
adopted for their destruction in Massachu-
settS, and the little city of Salem in par
ticuar. Many Pine Tree shilling or
Kings coin of later stamp was diverted
from its primary Office of a circulating me-
dunn TO be moulded into silver bullet in
which death to witches sped. But by a
strange coincidence Salem, Va, is as lively
with the unhaIlowed influence rs if the in

and he sought the woods in order that
the banished demon might not find him.
The depravity of these mischievous spirits
is proved by their attempt to regain power
when silver ammunition is so scarce and
high.

The clHBRIl FREEMAN.
EaEAS3uRG. Pa,
IAc u.sr.aer 81 Gen. Can1y.


The brutal and treacherous murder,
lasi Friday morning, Of BrIGadier zen
cral Canbv. by Captain Jack, CHEF OF
tbp N!ydoc Indians, has been received
with feeling Of horror throughout tie
country. Ills tragic death was the sad
termination OF brilliant military ca
lcer. He had served his country faith
fplly and well in the Florida and MeG-
loan wars. aud won honorable disJinc-
tion in the late civil war. The history
of the difficulty with the Mudocs can
be briefly told. They are located in
tie extreme southern portion OF Ore-
con and near the northern boundary
Of California. The tribe numbers not
more than zoe fighting men. IN 1861,
Captain Jack by treaty ceded his lands
70 the United States and moved on
distant reservation provided for HIM
nv tho Government Becoming dis
satisfied with his new home, he re-
turned to his old location III 1870.
Ever since that time the government
has been attempting, through It's In
dian agents and Peace Commissioners,
To induce him TO return to the reser-
vation. But Captain j Jack refused and
declared that he came back to stay.
Gen. CanbV, with coo troops and two
Peace Commissioners. Thomas and
Meacham. was ordered to the MOdOc
country during the winter to get the
tribe back on the reservation, peace
ably If they could, but forcibly II they
must. During the last four weeks
several conferences, or talks have
taken place between Gen. Candy and
Captain Jack ut a point between the
two camps, and it was at one Of these
talks" on last Friday, brought about
by Captain Jack himself that he shot
and murdered Gen. Candy. For this
fiendish act the government has de
cIared a war Of determination against
the tribe, rs it ought to do.
A former well known citizen Of this
county met an untimely death at the
hands of these same ModOcs. After
the close Of the Mexican war, Capt.
Charles McDcTmitt returned to this
place. his former residence, but soon
went to northern California and settled
in Yreka. which is only about one
davis ride from the MOdOc country.
In 1852 Capt McDermitt commanded
an expedition of volunteers to punish
the Modocs for dcprcdations they bad
committed. and he was successful.
They remained peaceahlc until 1886,
when they commenced killing the en-
igrants and running off their stock.
Capt McDermitt again took the field
against the reddcvils. The force CON
sisted Of three companies, all under the
command Of Gen. J. ID. Crosby. In
one Of the skirmishes which tool, place
during that campaign Of three months,
the modc-t but brave McEcrmitt was
killed.

y ROMANCE connected with the wreck of
the Atlantic was the discovery that one of
the sailors of the Inflated steamer, whose
life was sacrificed in efforts to save others
was Young woman of about twenty or
twenty-five years of age. Her sex was not
known until the body was washed ashore
ana the rude clothing removed preparatory
TO burial. She has served as a common
sailor for three voyages, and was favor

having fewer of the vices incident to a

nevertheless, as jolly an old tar as anv Of.

AT the last October election an
amendment to the constitution was
adopted by an overwhelming vote,
providing for the election of State
Treasurer by the people. The term of
the present Treasurer will expire on the
first Monday in May and it was ex-
pected that the Legislature would, I'M
mcdlately y after assembling, pass an act
providing for an early election and
thus give force and effect to the verdict
OF the people. But the Treasury
king with the present incumbent,
Robert W. MacNey, and Simon Cam
eron at its head, determined that such
should not be the case. Accordingly.
just at the close of the session, bill
passed the House. having previously
passed the Senate, which provides that
the election for State Treasurer shall
take place on the second Tuesday of
next October, and that X. w Mackey,
the present Treasurer shall continue
III office until the first Monday in May,
l6T4-Oae tUU gear from the eg,Iird-
tt0n Of his present term. This shows
what the Treasury Ring can do with
the Legislature Thus is the potential
voice Of the people nullified, treated
with contempt, and their solemn YER
dIct set aside by set of corrupt and
unscrupulous political tricksters at
Harrisburg. What man in the whole
state, when he voted for the amend
llent last October, ever dreamed that
at the same time he was voting to con-
tinue Robert ". Mackey in Office
another year? And yet under radical
misrule such is the result, in plain and
open defiance of the voice Of the peo-
pie expressed in thunder tones through
the ballot-b0x.
