Saturday Morning. May 5. ls7s.

In the e:Iadian fight preceding she last,
correspondent reports that the tRpops
sca]ped every wounded warrior they
found in the caves. The knowledge Of
this fact may have stimulated the victo.
rious Modocs to greater acts Of brutality
upon the wounded soldiers who fell on
the 26th. The war now is a desperate
one. No quarter will be shown on either
side; and, though the Modocs may be
ezte-:a::a.oaa. she ioss of life alone which
will be involved will prove appalling. It
is evident that the. butohery the other
day is only the beginning. The Cleve.
land Herald says:
,''As rule, The Indian has not re-.
deeming trait in his character. He is
lazy, idle, vicious, treacherous, vindio-
tive. jealous and brutal. He forgets ia
vors, though they may rain upon him;
he never forgets an injury, though It
may be unintentional and not repeated. I"
Yes. for Kindred years the white man
and the white mans Government have
robbed, and plundered, and defrauded,
and murdered, and kept Punio faith
with the Indian, but this century OF out
rage, and treachery, and slaughter was
wholly unintentional. and has certainly
never been repeated. A Fort Wayne
paper calmly says:
Let every blade OF grass in the North.
west be watered with the blood of these
tFeacherous fiends. and the rivers, as
they flow down to the ocean, carry with,
them the scarlet tidings OF a nations
vengeance, and may it be mingled with
the CORY stream that flows in the veins
OF the vaecillating shriekers for peace,
to whom is principally due the perpetta-
tion OF the late horrible butehery." +
The New York Daily Graphic thus
poetically summarizes the situation:
It's only an Indian squaw ~
Whose CARCASS my sword laid low;
Only she VOLTS scalp
That hangs at my saddle bow,
Their merest wreck Of home
Lies smouldering by the lake;
One. two. three, four-aii d6Ad-
The white man may dsise;his stake.
No need to bury her babe,
Toss IL into the flames;
A 9hild shall not live to boast -t
That he bore the Modoc neme. '
The stars in our flag are white, /
And only the Hhites project
Down with the spawn Of heathens.
WeQhrtsYa Yans are the elect.
The Bible7 Pahawl Sunday talk,
The chaplain breaches; We fight.
Neither soldier nor cit now turns
/ cheek to the foe who amites, =,
Have I babe, and mother?
Yes. but they are white; and then
This is the scalp Of q wolf '''
Whose cub might have murdered men.

The Charleston Chamber Of Commerce
has adopted the following:
Whereas. It is OF the utmost import
ance that the character and amount Of
the public debt Of South Carolina be ac-
ourately determined by competent tri-
bunal; and whereas. proceedings are
about to be instituted in the courts Of

interest on tho State debt, which pro-
ceedings may involve a recognition Of
the validity OF bonds believed to have
been fraudulently issued; therefore, be it
Resoloed, That it is due to the credit
and good faith of the people of South

actively represented as parties to the
proposed suits.
ReSoloed, That O committee of five be
appointed to determine in what manner
such representation can best be secured.

A son of the Rev. Mr.. Thomas, re-
Gently killed by the AIodocs, evinces the
right spirit when lie says: "The Indians
arc what they are, believe, because tho
whites with whom they are in contact
have been what they have been. We are
to blame. Not the poor Modocs, but the
rapacious, lawless, perfidious whites are
guilty Of his blood. But for the men
who have been permitted to rob and i'll
treat tho Indians, to madden them with
whiskey aud to drive them from their
reservations, the recent murders wonld
not have been committed. The petfidy
of the whites begets perfidy on the part
of the red men,"

Hon. JAMES BRooKs.-The death of
the Hon. James Brooks will be felt not
only in his own District and State, but
will OCCASION regret throughout the en-
tire South. He was bold, true and
tried friend of the Southern people, and
never faltered in his support of their
cause. In the dark days after the war,
when friends were few and faint, and
enemies numerous and powerful, Mr..
Brooks, almost single-handed and alone,
dared to stand between ua and our op-
pressors-regardless Of the odium 80
literally heaped upon those who dc.
manded that the rights of those whom
the Radical leaders termed rebels and
traitors should be respected. By his
eloquenoe, his ability, his courage and
his skill as parliamentary leader. he
rendered us the most important assist.
anoe. Whether tho recent charges which
hispolitioal opponents make against him
are true or false, we care not; the.s outh
will alone remember his great serviceu in
behalf Of her people, and will ever ho
and cherish his name in grateful remem-
brance.

rHE TRIAL OF MARSHAL BazA1NE.

The trial of Marshal Bazaine, now In
progress in France, naturally attracts
much attention in that country and
throughout the civilized world. His
career as a soldier previous to the
late French and German war was won
derfully brilliant and successful. He
had risen from the ranks, distinguish
ing himself in every grade by extraor-
binary deeds of bravery and correctness
of military judgment and the French
army contained no man from whom
greater services were expected, his an
tecedents having encouraged the belief
that in all emergencies he would dare
everything and do everything that his
countrymen could expect. And yet
long record of active and honorable SER
vice has been clouded by humiliating
imprisonment extending over several
years, and by trial for surrender to
the enemy under circumstances which,
if the allegations of the prosection are
sustained, will lead to his military de-
graduation, and perhaps his death. Ii
he is as guilty as the circumstances in
dictate, the true explanation of his con-
duct is that in the midst of the extraor-
binary complications by which he was
surrounded, he decided to serve the en-
peror rather than the nation, and in be-
coming partisan instead of defender
of his country he ceased to be of service
either to his imperial master or to
France. He had many reasons for feel
ing deeply grateful to Napoleon Ill,
but he had no right to make his private
friendship q gratitude subservient to his
duty as soldier. 1t is natural to sup
pose that he felt indignant at the pepu-
lar uprising in Paris by which the en-
pire was overthrown, and after Napo-
Icons surrender to the Germans he may
have been induced, by desire to pro-
pitiate them, to facilitate their triumph.
But any excuses of this nature only ag-
gravate Bazaine's offence, if the fact
can be clearly established that he pur-
posely failed to throw every possible
obstacle in the way of the enemy war
ring against his country. Of all traitors
none are 80 wicked and guilty as gen.
erals who employ in the interests of o
faction ornaments intended for the de-
fence of great people. and thereby ex-
pose the latter to the horrors of disas-
trous invasion. Bazaine, if the charges
preferred are well founded, deserves the
severest punishment that the tribunal
before whom he is being tried can i'm
pose, and worse stain will rest upon
his memory than the cowardice imput-
ed, for he will rank in history among
the miscreants who have sacrificed ma
ton through mistaken zeal in the SER
vice of one of its citizens.

We have contributed much to the pre-

RICHARD GRANT WHITE, the author o.

often had occasion to speak of as a literary
quack, comes out in the August No. OF the
GALAXY in an article on the use OF " hao

cisely the position we do,-and which he has
occupied for years-but uses the most ludl'
crous arguments that ever were read on such
a subject to sustain bis teachings. Neither
he nor his critic-uhat is the Educational

deed, WHITE boasts that he don't know any
thing about it. 1t is really astonishing thai
the literary world is itself so Ignorant on
this particular subject as to tolerate such ar
ticles and such teachers.

The Mcmahon Correspondence.
The Lynchburg Press, Colonel HuGHEs's

The Lynchburg Press, Colonel HUGHEs's
organ, says:
"The Dispatch goes into ecstacies and dis
plays the intelligence with headlines that
would almost shame the New York Herald,
and then all the smaller specimens of the
tribe, Tray, Blanche, and Sweetheart, take
up the cue and throw up their hats at what
they are pleased to denominate $ the pro-
gress of the Hughes and Lewis fight a
thing that exists only in their fertile imagi-
nation. .Ibis an ominous fact that these dis
organizers have been compelled to resort to
the columns OF one Of the most rabid of the
Conservative papers in the State in order to
chronicle the progress of this fancied fight"
The Press need not be uneasy. Colonel
HUGHES will be nominated. The orders
from Washington are to that effect. Carpet.
bagges and sealawags know that these
orders must be .obeyed.
1t surprises us, however, that Colonel
HUGnEs should desire such nomination.
Perhaps, however, his defeat before the
people will secure for him foreign mission.
GRANT takes good care Of his pets.
