Since former dates we have had gay time in

SAN FRANCISCO, March 4, 1873
A courier arrived at Yreka last night from the
'front.' He says that on the arrival Of Judge Rose
borough and Elijah steele at headquarters, propo-
sitions for the settlement of the Medoc troubles
were submitted, ana on Friday Mr.. steele with an
Interpreter and others, went 10 Captain JACKS
camp, where he remained all night. propcsitl On
was made that the Modocs should surrender as
prisoners of war and be removed TO some reserva-
ton outside of Oregon-probably Arizona--and to
De provided for by the government. To this the
Indians all agreed, and eight of Captain Jacks
braves accompanied Mr.. Steele to Fairchild's
rancho to confer with General Candy and the Com
missioners, where they ON Sunday evening.
When the courier left Captain Jack was SICK and
1t would. therefore, require several days to COM
p'ete the treaty, when it will have to be approved
by the authorities at Washington.
The speech OF Captain Jack to Mr.. Steele Is q
relteration of the Modoc chiers former state
nents OF his views and wishes He denies that he
commenced the war and that he desires to con.
time the conflict, and says that he always lived in
peace and wanted to do so until the troops CON.
menced operations against him. He declined to go
to Canby's camp to-day. Mr.. Steele goes back to
the lava beds to try to induce Captain JACK and
Schonches to come out and conclude the terms in
the proposed treaty.
action of the Peace Commissioners until this morn
ing 1t is not known what course the civil authori-
ties of that State propose to pursue with reference
to the indictments of the Modocs for the murder of
their people. No news has been received from the
front this morning.
A despatch from Jacksonville Oregon, says
tnat The people in that part of the State are not
willing to accept any terms with the Modoc In
dians which do not provide fror the surrender to
the civil authorities of the Indians indicted for
murder. They fear that any other policy would
encourage the tribes in Eastern and Southern
Oregon to follow the example of the Modocs. The
people are opposed to the Peace Commission, not
because they want war but because they want
speedy and permanent peace.
The feeling here Is that the murderers of the
settlers should be punished instead of complete
amnesty being granted, as proposed by the Com

assembled in their ''tempe OF famer known as
1.-THE ould spot" with several aliases, and situate
in Newark street, near Grove, Hoboken, member
of the S. p. c. A., accompanied by three policemen,
tapped at the back door and demanded admission.
This mans name is Ralph Thomas, but neither his
name nor his gold badge availed TO his admission
until he PAID the sum OF 81 like every other
member OF the congregation. The big roosters
were being pulled out OF the sacks and the
New York birds were going to be pitted against
the thoroughbreds OF New Jersey. Some one said
'Here's the peecrsl" but II soon became evident
that so few oflcials could not arrest so many. The

Testimony Of Commissioners Stranahan
Before the Aldermanic Committee
Nine Million Dollars Required 10 Conn
Plete the Work.
The Brooklyn Aldermanic committee having under
consideration the matter OF making investigation
of the management OF the affairs OF the East River
Bridge Company held another session in the Common
Council chamber yesterday afternoon. Alderman
Ripley Ropes presided The snly witness exam
lned was Mr.. James s. T. Stranahan, President OF
the Board OF Park Commissioners and stock
holder and member of the Executive Committee Of
the East River Bridge Company. Mr.. Stranahan
stated that he had been a member of the Board
of Directors since August, 1869. The wsrk on the
first casson awarded to the lowest bidder, and
the principal specifications fer the work were
liam c. Kingsley, the present superintendent, pro-
posed to do the work i0r $40 per yard, but the
directors did not see Gt enter into contract for
the work. The witness said he considered
Mr.. Kingsley as an active intelligent head whose
services would be indispensable until the compile
ton of the bridge. The Executive Committee had
votea Kingsley the sum Of $125,00 Tor services
rendered, and final settlement to claim
which it was acknowledged he had he evidently
looked upon the enterprise as due to his personal
energy Tle New York members OF the directors
seldom attended the meetings. OF the committee
responsible members The company were natu
rally anxious to retain the skillul services OF Mr.
Kingsley. Mr.. StranahaA then proceeded to re-
count the particulars OF the agreement entered
into by the csmMittee with Superintendent Kings
ley, as published in their report ppen recent in
vestigatlon by special committee of the Board of
Directors. Witness did not believe that any money
mad been expended, either directly or indirectly
the work had been carried cut on the most
economical plan. lie did net suppose that
any more private stock would be taken in the
enterprise. New York would doubtless subscribe
more, it would be to the interest OF that city to
do SO. Kingsley had not made any money out Of
the enterprise nor was there single member OF
the committee actuated by any selfish motive. In
deed private stockholders would readily take back
the amounts invested, with seven per cent interest.
There are no moneyed inducements in the enter.
prise New York and Brooklyn, ne hoped, would
assume control and relieve the present stock
holders. Mr.. Stranahan estimated that 50, ,0O0 900
would be required to finish the building OF the
bridge proper; but this estimate does not include
the value OF land which will have to be taken lor
the work.
The committee went into executive session. and
resolved to examine Mr.. Kingsley and the two con-
tractors for the caissOns and to vindicate the
agement OF the Bridge Company from all suspicion
which the examination might engender

THE BROOKLYN POISONING CASE.

DIR. Irish and Mrs. Anderson Discharged.
In the Court Of Oyer and Terminer, Brooklyn,
yesterday, District Attorney Britton moved for a
noUe prOseQu in the cases of DR.. Lucius b. Irish
and Mrs. Sarah Anderson, who were indicted
on the charge Of having poisoned to death Assist
ant Assessor Edward o. Anderson, the husband Of
Sarah Anderson. 1t may be remembered that the
Doctor was tried last December and that the jury
failed to agree, ten being for acquttal and two for
conviction.
Mr. Brtton said that he was satisfied that no
additional testimony could be obtained by him,
and that the case ought not to be
tried again in view of the fact that it
would require the necessity OF again bringing wit
nesses from great distance at a great expense.
lie intimated that he did not think that convic-
tion could be procured on the testimony, and that
justice either to the prisoner or the public. did not
require another trial. With reference to the case
OF Mrs. Anderson, he said 1t was obvious that some
OF the most reliable testimony for the prosecution
Irish's trial could not be introduced against
Mrs. Anderson and therefore the as to her
would be greatly enasculated. lie was satisfied
that it would be impossible for him, in view of the
previous result to introduce enough evidence to
ask for verdict against her. Judge Pratt granted
the motion.

THE ALLEGED CHECK RAIsERs."
Marks Held and APplcby Discharged
for Want of Evidence.

The examination in the case OF George Fl. Ap-
pleby and George Marks, the alleged "check
raisers," was concluded yesterday. The prisoners
were brought before Judge Hogan in the Tonps
by Detectives Farley and Kess. Mr.. Charles
Beaner of $50 Market street, Newark, identified
George Marks as the man who called at his place
on the llth OF February and received in change of
"A bill $40 check en- one OF the national banks of
that city, which was subsequently raised to $500
and the amount paid at the bank. William II.
Kennedy, an undertaken in Pearl street, also
identified Marks the man who had
obtained from him check for SIS on the Central
National Bank on Broadway, which check was
raised to $685. and the money was paid at the
bank. Judge Hogan recognized Marks as having
been committed by him in 1867 for similar Of

Foster in the Tombs.

The city yesterday full OF rumors Of all kinds
in regard to the ultimate fate Of william Foster,
all of which were OF very conflicting nature.
Dix would, at least, grant short respite
to the doomed murderer, in order that he might
have time to repent while others believed that
there was no possible hope for William Foster this
side of the grave. Governor Dix left on the ten
A. NJ. train for Albany yesterday morning, and
arrived in Albany shortly after four O'Clock yester
day afternoon. He left no cew whatever to
what his decision would be before leaving the city.
1t is said that Fosters counsel has been certain
of Communication that he insisted that his client
should not hold any interview or conversation
whatever with reporters, and to this order Fsster
has held steadfastly during his Imprisonment
During his consultation with the judges
thority, stated that it would be Impossible for
him to interfere in view Of the senti-
his inaugural message ans owing to the
precedent which he established by the letter
which he wrote in regard to tae case
Governor Blk WA was compeIed 'Ilu to refuse sec
ond respite or Communication to. The Governor also
stated that he could not consistently interfere in
Fosters case unless upon the unanimous recon-
mendatlon Of the DencA of Judges of the Court Of
Appeals and the Judge before whom Foster was
last tried. Foster looked very detected and broken
yesterday, and particularly he was much Affected
when in ormed privately by Rev. DR.. Tying, who
paid him a visit, that there " as but very Iaint
hope left for him on this side of eternity Fosters
vile sat by his SIDE usual seeking to comfort him.
but he seemed totally absorbed by his coming doom
and paid but little attention to outside matters
Considerable latitude has been allowed the prison
er, ana he has pernlssion to converse with his
friends and walk in the yard although he Is always
companiea by two Deputy ShcriGs, who never lose
sight OF him for a moment.
