Cheap biography is apparently
not so distant as many people have
supposed. The JOuuoi Of lie
telegraph, whose statements on the
subject may be regarded as author
alive, says: "The Western Union
Telegraph Company have under
consideration, and the plans nearly
matured, for a further reduction of
tariffs, which is to be of the most
radical aud sweeping nature. The
change conte'uplates the use of on
~ ten different rates for the entire
country, aud will establish a uni
form airline distance rate between
all Offices in each of the divisions.
With their splendid system of lines
and improved apparatus for the
transmission of messages, this COM
pany is fully prepared to handle
and eXpeditiously perform the in
creased business which is believed
will arise from these concessions.
1t is only in view of such increase
that the contemplated reduction in
rates can be justified The i'm
proved apparatus referred to is
doubtless Stems duplex instru-
ment, now extensively adopted by
the Western Union Co. There is
also some talk about this company
buying up the Little automatic sys-
TEN of telegraphing, now in sue
cessful operations between New
York and Washington. Should
this prove true, the reduction in
the tariff may well be described as
of "the most radical and sweeping
nature" At any rate, the propos-
ed action of the Western Union
Telegraph Company is one of the
strongest arguments against gov
ernment postal telegraph. Cheap
and accurate telegraphing can on
ly be attained by healthy compe-
tition, by thoroughness and econo-
my in management, and by the
prompt adoption of the latest scien-
tific discoveries. Can we except
these from a government bureauG

Peace Commissioners Killed.

The Peace Commissioners who
have for long time been engaged
in endeavOring TO come to some
kind of peace terms with the In
dams, met the Modocs, under flag
of truce, on the 18th, for a confer
ence. Gen. Candy, Commissioner
Meacham, and Rev. DR.. Thomas
met the chief of the Modocf, Schon-
chin and others. 1t seems that the
Indians had arranged matters to
their taste, and after some CONVEX
sation by members of both parties,
Capt. Jack arose and exclaimed "all
ready" and shot Gen. Candy dead,
with revolver. Then Schonchin
shot MeachSm, and Thomas was
killed by Indian Charlie. Thus
they had planned the cold blooded
murder of the commissioners, and
thus they carried it into execution.
Great indignation is felt all over
the country, and the greater por-
ton of the people would rejoice to
see the whole Of the treacherous
race exteIminated,
1t is just what has been looked
for 10y the American public for some
time, as the Indians have all the
while declared that they would
never come to any terms Of peace
unless they were allowed to go"Scot-
free for all dcpredations hereto
fors perpetrated, and be permitted
to repeat the same when occasion
presented. Or at least that is the
substance of it.

A letter from New Caledonia pub
lished by the 1oulonnios contra
diets the statement so widely cir
culated in France that the condi-
ton Of the communists was worse
than that of mariners cast away on
desert island. The writer says:
The convicts on arriving, were
agreeably surprised at the treat
ment ordered for them. They are,
of course, lodged and fed at the
cost Of the State; and the idle who
do not know what TO do to kill time,
scarcely quit the cafes and drink
ing shops in Noumea, which are
crowded with customers. Those
condemned to deportation in for
tilted place, and who are sent to
Ducas' Island, enjoy complete liber-
ty, and only answer to the call of
their names Oh call-day, which is
once week. Most of them have
decided upon working in order to
pass the time and receive an extra
sum of twenty-four cents per day.
The least able can earn eighteen
cents, in addition to lodging, food
and supplements. Trinquet has
resumed his old trade of q shoe
the veterinary surgeon Re-
gere, has become a doctor, and now
treats men in place of animals !;
Asst, after having sulked for time,
seeing that no one paid any atten-
ton to him, asked for employment
as an engineer, which was at once
accorded him. Several escapes had
taken place, and an inquiry had
been opened on the subject to as
certain whether the negatives had
themselves on board yes
sells, or whether they had been eat
IN by the natives, who have still
liking for human flesh.

An Earthquake.

AsPISwALL, April 5.-Vja IA
vASA. April l0.-The city of San
Salvador, Central America, has
been destroyed by an earthquake
500 persons persisted, and $4,000
600 in property was destroyed.
The earthquake was followed by
conhagration and many buildings
were burned.
For few days, slight shocks OF
earthquake had occurred, but no
serious Apprehension was entertain
ed. IL was on the afternoon of the
9TH Of March, at about 1: l-2 o'clock,
and almost without WARNING, that a
greater part of the city was reduced
to little more than ruins. The
ground heaved as a ship in a gale,
terrific thunderings burst from nm
der foot, walls tottered and were
rent in many places with wide crew
ices, roofs sank, and tiles were pre-
cipitated to tho ground. Three
violent shocks followed in success

sion, and servants commenced TO
scream piteously and could not be
pacified. Wild birds flew to the
houses, horses grew frantic in sta
bles, the dogs bowling, skunk for
protection. Every few minutes
shalings of less violence occurred.
The scene beggars description.
The ruined houses, panic stricken
people, men, women, and children
fleeing to the fields with valuables
hastily collected, then the ringing
of the alarm bells and beating of
drums calling all the soldiers I'M
der arms, for in San Salvador, muir
der and pillage accompany the con-
fusion of the great earthquakes,
and as the frightened citizens leave
the town dusily Indians from the
forests prowl for prey into it, only
checked by the bayonets of gov
crnment troops. These were post
ed in squads at short distances all
over San Salvador.
San Salvador,.is one of the old
est cities on the American CONT
nent, having been founded in 1923
by Spanish colonists. 1t is situa-
ted in Central America, about iif-
teen n::..es from the Pacific Ocean,
and was the capital of the Union
of the Central American States
while that Union existed, and since
then has been the capital of the
Republic of San Salvador. 1t has
already twice been visited by de-
structive earthquakes, one in 1863
and one in 1854, the second ...,,,nost

Tuesday, Aprl %, 1873.
Suit Decided.

1t will be remembered that ]. X.
Lockwood brought suit against Jas.
Cavanagh, Sheriff, and Alex. Nc
Donald, Register of Deeds, to re-
cever the salaries paid them by the
county of Alpena, the same having
been voted as their compensation
for county labor by the Board of
Supervisors. The case has just
been decided in the Supreme Court
in favor of Cavanagh and Melon
aid, as will be seen by the following,
which we clip from the Free Press
of the 10th.
Dwight May, Attorney-Genoral,
&c rel. James IL. Lockwood as. AL
bert Molitor Ct al. Appeal from
Alpcna Circuit. Opinion by Graves,
j.
The relator is a resident and tax
payer of Alpena county, portion
of the defendants comprised the
Board of Supervisors of that conn
ty, and the dcfendat, Cavanagh,
was Sheriff; Hopper, Treasurer /;
Carpenter, Clerk, and McDon::.,.1 !,
Register of Deeds. The bill charges
that the Board adopted resolution
giving large annual salaries to the
Sheriff, Treasurer and Clerk then
in office for their current terms, and
authorized one-half in advance !;
that the annual salary so allowed
the Sheriff was $1,000, payable
quarterly in advance ; that the first
years salary has been paid out Of
the Treasury. The complainant
asks that further payment may be
restrained, and also that the money
paid to the Sheriff under the reso-
linton shall be repaid to the county.
Objection is made that the speci-
fic relief sought is understandable by
the Acknowledgement.
We.|, That the claim is strictly
OF the class cognizable in the COM
mon law action of money had and
received, and is susceptible of pros
eeution in that form by the county
If collected the money must be paid
into the county Treasury. IN this
view of the nature of the claim the
State has no right through the At
torney-General 10 sue the equity
for it. 1t is not, in its civil aspect,
matter of State concern, but j.
rather local right Of action, sub
ject to be sued for by the county.
Appeal dismissed with costs
against Lockwood. The conse-
quence is that the decree of the
court below, ordering money paid
since the commencement of the suit !
10 be repaid, and enjoining all fur
Their action against payment stands.
