different kinds of wood, inlaid upon
the handle, and polished to brightness

wood. In addition to its containing q
piece of wood from every country upon

worked in it piece obtained from that
celebrated Andersonville prison; piece
of the wreck of the No,4hener; piece
of that famous old war-ship of the rev.

from the cane of a returned nobleman,
exiled to Siberia from Russia; a piece
of live oak from that still more famous
war-ship, the Kearsarge, which sank the

Disposition OF the Modoes.
WASHINGTON, June ATTORNEY Cen
eral Williams has made public his opin-
ion of the disposition to be made of
the Modocs. He RENTS them to the
action of General Davis. Their chief
offence cited is the assassination Of the
bearers of a flag of truce--a crime which
has heretofore received the punis hment
of death. ,-..
The President and Secretary Of War
have already been informed of the opin-
ion of Attorney General Williams
Such of the Modocs as are charged
with offences against the recognized
laws of war may be tried and punished
by Military Commission, and the War
Department, will, in accordance with
this opinion, send instructions TO Cen
eral Davis through General Schofield
There is no doubt that the Commission
will be organized without delay and
the trial commenced according to army
regulations. AS the proceedings and
findings in Military Commission where
sentence is death, are transmitted to
Washington for review and approval of
the President before sentence can be
carried into effect, several weeks must
unavoidably pass before the punishment
of the Modocs take place.

both as to the length of routes claimed
agd the frequency with which mails are
delivered.

for the damages he had sustained. The
agent Informed him that. rs the Gov
crnnent did not want the land it would
not pay for the Improvements. Years
have gone by and Fisher has but tie
poor consolation of knowing that some
body has stolen the money belonging to
him. Perhaps when Webster has been
routed, his property destroyed and his
business broken up, lie too will be told
the truth, that the Government does
not want his land.
Messrs. Webster, Fisher and others
must patiently bide their time, and if
there is sense of justice left in the
administration of The best Govern
ment the world ever saw" they will be
Unidentified for their ruinous losses.
The only excuse for the outrage is to
be inferred from the Indian depart
ments statement, made through its or
gan. Witness how fimsy the pretext
1t solemnly AYERS that Webster has COM
mitted some grave offense, of which the
Department " in all probability has an
abundance of the strongest possible
testimony; and of such kind as might
long ere this have put a quietus upon
the whole matter had there not been q
desire and intention to act in a spirit of
the greatest leniency." This is a plea
we'll betting the tyrant-" in all pro-
liability it has evidence" If there is
any evidence that Webster has been
guilty of crime, it affords no justifca-
ton for confscation before trial. Arti-
Gle vi. of Amendments to the Consti-
tuition provides that "In all criminal
prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy
the right to speedy and public trial by
an impartial jury and to be in
formed of the nature and cause of the
accusation, to be confronted with the
witnesses against him.
Is not the letter and spirit of this pro-
vision violated by these arbitrary meas
ures?

A SEVERE HIT. The Green Bay wis.
Aduocate relates the following, which
gives severe stab at the free pass sys-
tenn generally as applied to public con-
veyances: A prominent lawyer related
to me an anecdote of the late Nicholas
Hill of Albany, which seems to be in
point on this subject. Hill, one day,
in arguing case against O railroad
company, before the Court of Appeals,
dwelt largely an the aggressions and
abuses of railroads, and gave history
of them in the State of New York for
the previous twenty-five years. When
he had finished his narration he raised
up, and pointing his finger at the court,
said: "Your Honor, if this condition
Of things is permitted to go on for fifty
years to come, as it has for the last
twenty, the railroads will almost dare
to presume to tender passes to gentle
man occupying your high position,

fectly we'll that all the Judges had pas
ses in their pockets when he was ad-
dressing. them"

BoYLE's CAMP, June 4th-3 p. NJ
About half past three o'clock this af-
ternoon, clouds of dust arising from the
winding road east of the Peninsula
and in the direction of Clear Lake, an
nounced the approach of captive Modocs
and created a great excitement. "Where
is Captain Jack? Where is Captain
Jack?" was the cry of the spectators.
He had anticipated the excitement
his advent would create, and crouched
in corner of the wagon completely ell
veloped in blanket. Arriving at the
prison the wagon was relieved of it's
contents. Jack was chained to Schon-
chin and Boston Charley to One-eyed
Nose. BY permission entered the
tent and talked with Jack. At first he
did not deign to notice me. Finally
his sister Mary prevailed on him to
talk to me. He spoke principally in
relation to his. shackles. He said it
made him feel mean to hobble like a
horse. He was not afraid to die, and
had no idea of running away. AS he
spoke his eyes fairly snapped and he
looked like very lion. When asked
his age he gave me to understand that
he was thirty-six. Then he voluntarily
entered upon q statement of his griev-
ances against the whites. Jack is thor
oughly Indian. His head is large and
square, and, for the present, rest firm
ly on his shoulders. His eyes are black
and bright, face broad, with prominent
cheek bones, lips thin and clean cut,
and his features combined indicate that
resoluteness of purpose that has won
for him. such a remarkable notoriety
Schonchin is so years of age, and
wrinkled, and has the villain depicted
in every line of his face Boston Char
ley is about rs years of old, and his
face is expressionless. Did / not know
to the contrary, should think him
half-witted.
General Davis informs me that he
will to-day erect scaffold, and execute
about dozen of the worst murderers
tomorrow at sunset.
June 5, 10A. M.-The regular cour-
Ter from Yreka brought official papers
to Gen. Davis, directing him to hold the
Modocs until the authorities at Wash
ington can investigate charges. This
order disarranges the entire plan of
the General and dampens the spirits
of the camp. There will be no execu-
tons at present. ..t..

and five children have been captured

villains. When they were captured
some of the Oregonians were in favor
of executing them at once. They will
be turned over to General Davis. .,.

The Cour1y' is evidently n little sore
about the proceedings taken from "the
rough draft of that private meeting"
of the Town Board, and lily conceals
its evident jealousy of tie superior en-
terprise of the Tribune. We wish all
of the boys well, for publishing daily
paper in Olympia even of the most
moderate pretentions, is more serious
undertaking, and requires more enter
prise, ability, industry and courage
than an outsider would imagine, and if
Tom occasionally happens in where he
is not invited, is frequently snubbed
and occasionally sold, it must be said
to his credit, however, that there is very
little worth knowing that transpires in
or about Olympia of which his readers
are not promptly informed. This can
only be accomplished at the price of
exploring the fountains of information
at the risk of an occasional duckinc,
and those who are not prepared to run
the chances, take the duckings and
make the most of the sells that are
constantly prepared for them, will
scarcely prove successful in the vocation
of local editors. Tom certainly has the
first great element for success in the
occupation which he has chosen, and if
he occasionally presents accounts of
things which never happened, it is not
because he is ignorant from want OF
enquiry and investigation. His mis-
takes are generally impositions upon
the excess of his desire for. knowledge.
For instance, Tom would never have
published an article as the Courier of
yesterday morning does, for the sole
purpose of informing his readers that
owe leaned yesterday that the county
authorities are now providing for the
support of several invalid and infirm
people," We will warrant that Tom
knew all about this and the appointment
of Superintendent of County Poor
four months ago.
Tom would never have taken nine
work oxen for blooded bulls intended
for stock purposes" as the locals of
the Courier in this mornings issue say
they did. Tom is not so dignifed but
that he would have got down on his
hands and knees and looked, if it had
been necessary. We might point out
many particulars in which the locals of
the Courier might inform themselves
by taking Tom as their model, but do
not wish to say more than barely enough
to do them a little GOOD,
