OR INDIAN TROUBLES.

Since the exploits of Captain Jack in
the Lava Beds of California, the intelli-
genoe reaches us that the Indians through
out the West are becoming restless, and
fears are entertained Of a general Indian
war this summer. These fears are not by
any means groundless. The fact that a
handful Of savages can keep at bay for any
length Of time a considerable body of we'll
disciplined United States troops, assisted
by a large body Of friendly Indians, is
aalicient to arouse the native insolence Of
the whole Indian population and put them
on the war path as soon as the spring
opens, and the new grass will furnish food
for their horses. There is imminent danger
of the frontier settlements suffering all the
horrors of Indian outrages and massacres
during the coming summer, uulsss the
Modocs are speedily punished for their
recent acts Of treachery and bloodshed,
That every effort will be made to accom-.
,plish this there is no doubt, but it is a
much more serious undertaking than
many are inclined to admit, especially if
the Modocs are reinforced by other tribes,
which is most likely, considering the re-
suit Of the recent attempt to bring them

ing education, and a conviction in the
public mind that it is of more value than
money, and that years spent in %acquisi-

idleness, or in some small Eemuneratiye

any, and much more the advanced classes

OUR VIENNA COMMISSIONERS

The action Of President Grant in sus-
pending the American Commission to the
Vienna Exposition has created a sensa-
tion throughout the world. 1t places US
ia The eyes Of other nations in an uncnvi-
able situation. But no one can blame the
Administration. In fact the President is
entitled to all credit for his prompt action
in disposing Of the men who procured
their appointment through fraud and bri-
berry 1t is becoming a characteristic Of
this nation that rascality Of any kind Ell
thcr in high or low places can not long be
practiced with impupity, and it has been
the policy Of Gen. Grant to bring the
perpetrators to grief as soon as discovered.
In this instance there is no danger that
aught but good can result from the action
Of the President. 1t is Of the FIRST i'm
portancc that our national Industries
should be represented at Vienna by IN
honest commission, one incapable Of eli
tler giving or receiving bride. and it is
fortunate for us that these men were de,
tec.cd SO soon. OF course there will be
ar. investigation, and if there are honest
men among The present commissioners
they win no. suffer by it. No fears need
be entertained. however, that the United
States viii not be properly represented at
Vienna. The paid commissioners alone
have been suspended and there are plenty

SPAIN.

The latest intelligence from the Span
ish Republic, indicates that the same spirit
that animated the communists in France
has taken possession Of a certain class Of
Republicans in Spain. Already the ul-
tras have demanded the establishment Of
the Commune directory and have began to
hunt down the members of the perma-
nsnt committee of the Assembly. The
volunteers who arc in sympathy with the
monarchy are also objects of hatred on
the part Of the mob who compose the
commune. Steps are being taken to dis
arm them which can only result in blood.

know but two well, that their only safety
depends now on their keeping up their
organization and retaining their arms.
Once deprived of the means of defence
they will be at the mercy of a mob con-
sisting Of men possessing all the ferocity
Of the Paris commune but with very lit
tie Of the intelligence that characterized
that body. We may look for the most
terrific scenes Of violence, and every blow
struck will tend toward the ro-establish-
