The case of Captain Geo. Tupper,
convicted Of manslaughter, in killing
Capt. j. D. Caldwell, was brought before
the Court of General Sessions on Mo-
tion for new trial, on Tuesday last.
The Judge refused tie motion, and
the prisoner was then sentenced to
FIVE years imprisonment at hard labor
in the penitentiary. General Butler
Immediately gave notice Of an appeal
to the Supreme Court. Pending the
appeal the prisoner is allowed to re-
main in the County Jail.
In the Circuit Court at Grcenville,
it was shown upon the trial that the
County Treasurer, Allen, had collected
on behalf of the State over fifty thous-
and dollars, and had paid over to the
State Treasurer little over eighteen
thousand dollars. For the deficit, he
produced on the trial nearly forty
thousand dollars worth Of pay certif-
Gates and other claims against the
State, which he had purchased at a
discount. Of these claims about four
thousand dollars worth were allowed,
and the remainder were diSallowed, on
the ground, first, that they were llle-
cal. inasmuch as there had been no
appropriation made for their payment
and secondly, that many OF them
bore strong evidences Of fraud upon
their faces. The case was ably argued,
and great liberality displayed, but the
proofs were convincing, and the YER
dict was ;;guilty." The sentence, as
stated in last issue, is two years in the
penitentiary, and $1,000.
Since writing the above, Judge
Cooke has granted an application for
bail, pending an appealto the Supreme
Court in June.
The latest from the lava beds is
that Mason and Hasbrouck's COM
mands had been unable to form june
tion, and that Captain Jack and his
small band had slipped through the
meshes, and are now encamped on
Snow Mountain, twenty miles South
of Sorass Lake. The troops arc in
pursuit. 1t is thought that Boston
Charley has been killed, and that Ma
son will this time finish the Modocs.
Later by the Courier, journal, Cap
tain Jack, who was to be kept moving
until he and the last of his braves
were cxterminated: has now cut of
Davis and Gillem's supply Of water
If he should take it into his ,ascally
head to cut off their supply Of whis-
key, too, the consequences will be
dreadful.
Still Later.-The Modoc war is over.
They have been pursued, met, broken
up and captured, that is the most Of
them. Shack Nasty Frank, Shack
Nasty Jake, Shack Nasty Bill, Steam
boat Frank, Ellea's Man, Hooken
Jim's father, Boston Nick, and seve-
ral other Modocs killed and many
wounded. Curly-headel Jack is Sc
riously wounded. Capt. Jack is still
ont but Gen. Davis is after him. The
war is over, however.
There are only nine cities IN the
world with 4 population of more than
a million. London leads the list, with
its three and quarter millions.
