From all accounts, and despite contra

are numbered. He has, it is positively
affirmed, Bright's disease Of the kidneys,
from which very few persons have ever
recovered. He has been confined to bis

time this has happened for many years.
His friends, though they do not say So

that he cannot live through the month
His estate is estimated to be worth some
$40 100000, and it must be a source oil
great regret to him, after his long life oi

The Philudelphia Press dismisses tae

state Of Pennsylvania. OF the 1873 mem
bers not seventy five we're qualified for
their duties, and not that number were
honest or did their duties Considering
this fact we ought not to mplain OF the
shameful work of the session, of the Jobs
the speculation and the rowdyism Of the
house asd Of the ease with which it con-
Cured in palpably corrupt measures
The blame attaches to the people who
choose these men to represent them, moi
from ignorance, for the reputation of the
faithless men bers from this city had
earned long before last October, and was
we'll known to every voter but because O
large proportion of them have become SO
completely the slaves Of party and the
tools Of politicians as to neither thiuk
nor act for themselves when they exer-
else the dearest right Of freemcu. Look

cover one good measure that atones 10

publishers, Messrs. Hunter & Co., ol

night clerk IN the Boston P. o. be-
hind the bars" and he has confessed all.
Messrs. II. l. Co.'S losses have been
enormous in fact, no exac. estimate can
at present be made. The thief carefully
examined, aided by light, every letter,
and took every o.e that contained money
He was caught iu the act and arrested

Meantime tho prosperous business oil

see just where 1t went, and avoid giving

The Mo docs and their Stronghold

Until short time ago probably few OF
our readers knew anything of the Modoc
Indians, who are now causing tie Gov
eminent 30 much trouble in California.
They are a branch Of tho Klamath In,
dlaus, tribe which occupied the south
western part Of Oregon, and have always
been on terms Of peace with the white
settlers. Though speaking the same
dialect as the main tribe, they have ex-
isted as an independent band since as
early as 1864. The difficulties which
have reached this tragical point com.
menced last year in the effort to induce
the Indians to 20 upon q reservation.
This was resisted, and on the 29th OF
November last, the Indians were visited
at their village on the banks of Los,
River by a force of thirty Eve soldiers
under Major Jackson, to compel their
surrender. A fight occurred in which
eight soldiers were killed, when the In
dians retreated into the Lava Beds killing
u number Of settlers, amounting, one re-
port says to seventeen, on their way.
The Lava Beds" the present locality
of the Indians, is a peculiar formation near
the western end Of Rhett Lake, in Siski
you county, California, nearly on the
southern line Of Oregon and almost d.
rectly east OF Jacksonville. 1t is de,
scribed as place Of great natural
strength, if not absolutely impregnable
The San Francisco Call, on the authority
Of Mr.. Applegate, one of the Peace Com
missioners, says the Indians are sheltered
iu very small opening, which will render
aprotracted siege necessary, as they can
probably be capturned only by being
starved out. Capt. Jack, the principal
chief Of the Modocs, is described as mau
OF great bravery, and as generally in
cined to peace, having been driven te
bis present hostile position by the oppo
sition of bis tribe. His FIRST act was in
the conflict with the troops in Novembe1
