EXECUTIVE cLEsrENCY.

A morning paper says "Governor
Booth has acted in accordance with
the dictates of q liberal humanity in
interfering to save the unhappy man,
Donovan. from the extreme penalty
of the law" He has done no such
thing. He has yielded to the peril
nacious solicitations of large class
of persons, who. governed by n
maudlin sentimentality, had it in
their power to place Governor Booth
in false position if he did not yield
to their demand. There is neither
sense nor humanity displayed in this
Donovan business. If there ever
was -blooded, deliberate mur-
derer, Donovan was that man. If in
the history of California there has
ever been person who deserved
death on the gallows, it is the wretch
ed Donovan This insanity business
is trumped-up sham, an after-ln-
vention. 1t is false sentimentality
that forgets the murdered dead, the
widow. the orphans, to remember the
inhuman fend who kills. 1t is a
spurious humanity that would let
loose murderers upon thecommunity,
to set at defiance the law and riot in
the unrestricted indulgence of their
brutal passions. It is maudlin,
sickly,. spurious sentiment that in
terests itself to save murderer from
merited punishment and never con-
Germs itself to regard the safety OF
the community.

THE PEACE FARCE.

YRgKA, March g. From the couri-
ers who arrived from the front this
evening we learn that upon the, ar
rival OF Judge Roseborough and 4,
Steele at headquarters propositions
for the settlement Of the Modoc
troubles were decided upon, and on
Friday Mr.. Steele, accompanied by an
interpreter and others, went 10 Cap.
tain Jacks camp. where they remain
ed all night. The proposition was
that the Modocs should surrender as
prisoners Of war and be removed TO
some Reservation outside of Oregon
probably 10 Arizonia-and he pro-
yided for bv the Government. To
this the Indians all agreed, aud eight
of Captain Jacks braves accompanied
Mr. Steele 10 Faircl.ild's ranch In con-
fer with General Canhy and the Com
miss,oncrs. where they were last
evening when the last courier left.
Captain Jack being sick it will require
several days TO complete tie treaty,
when il will have to he approved by
the authorities IN Washington before
il will be enforced. Captain Jack
claims that his people were not TO
blame for killing settlers, as the citi-
zens commenced by killing one of
his squaws and two children. The
feeling here is that the mnrderers
of settlers should be punished instead
Of granted complete amnesty, as pro-
posed by the Commissioners.
A later dispatch, dated March 4,h,
says the following dispatch has been
sen. TO the Secretary of the Interior At
Washington:
The Modocs emphatically reject all
offers and propositions. They pro.
pose TO meet, in full force. Meacham
and Applegate with six men, unarmed,
in the Lava Bed. This undoubtedly
means treachery. We are still willing
to meet them in conference, but not
upon their terms. They have an ac-
cession of twenty.four warriors, who
are not Modocs. We will send a
message of protection TO all who will
come out. The mission is failure.
Instruct Immediately. Time is of
vast importance. The courier waits.
[Signedl A. b. MEAcHAM,
Chairman Commission.

IN view of the extraordinary de-
velopments with regard to the un-
certain existence of any such tribe
of Indians as the Teton Sioux, to-
gether with other complicated ques-
tions constantly arising, the Depart
meut of the Interior will urge the
passage of bill authorizing the
taking of careful and uniform CEN
sus of all Indian tribes on the Cont
nent, not only as to the actual num-
ber of the various tribes and bands,
but with a view to furnishing also
such data on several important points
rs will enable the Government TO ac;
and deal understapdingly in the prem
ises in the future. If this thing goes
on how will those self.sacrifcing pat
riots, our Oregon Indian Agents, live?
They have only been able TO keep
sonl and body together by returning
n few hundred dead Indians on the
Government requisition lists each
year. Are they 10 have their little
Credit Mobilier in the dead Indian
business shut off in this uuheard of
and outrageous manner?

couple couldn't make thepi come out
any other way, so they climbed to the
top Of the house and stopped up the
chimney with rags, and this smoked
'em out. But double barreled

and the boys didn't stay to be invi-
ted in and eat cake. No; they went
off across the fields, hellitasplit.
A Yamhilllan catches geese by
soaking grain in alcohol and then
placing it where the genus anser can
End it. The geese first act like men
under the same circumstances: get
drunk and lie down and wait for
somebody to come along and put 'em
in the calaboose. II that practice
was adopted in this city on Sundays,
while the saloons are closed, our
calaboose wouldn't hold the captured
geese.
The Lafayette Courier tells this:
A bachelor, residing at Stringtown,
agreed to give Yamhillian one
hundred and fifty dollars If he would
find him q wife. The Yamhillian
came home and proceeded to cast
about with view to business. He
finally struck young woman who
also meant business, and who was the
possessor in her own right of forty
acres OF valuable land. The agent
bethought himself that he might
make count" at both ends OF the
transaction, md so proposed to the
young lady, that. for the said forty
acres Of land be would find her a
husband. She consented; the bach
elor was notified; came up; was mar
ried the same day and returned the
next; did well; three bouncing ba-
bies bless their union. And it was
little curious, too, that each re-
manned for over n year in blissful
ignorance Of the way the other found
| q mate.

The fate of the Portland and Alas.
la steamer George S. Wright y
which has been agitating the public
mind for the past fortnight, is at
length settled by the announcement
of the discovery of portions of her
wrecked hull and rigging, on the
northern coast, near Cape Caution, o
few days since. Dispatches from
Victoria state that Indians were the
discoveries of the wreck. A guam
,ity OF wreckage, including part OF
the poop deck, pilot house. blankets
and part of a. lady's chignon were
picked up on the beach. Officers,
crew and passengers are supposed to
have numbered Is or 90 souls. The
cause of the disaster may never be
known, A private letter from resi-
dent near the scene states that he has
purchased from the Indians the board
containing the steamers name. It is
quite certain that all on board wers
lost. Major Walker and wife, o.
Portland, aud Hon. Geo. A. Fades, ot
Salem, were passengers on board o
this Inflated vessel, and have doubt
less found a wa,ery grave on the
bleak. stormy northwest coast
Hardly any one entertains a hope o
the escape of soul from the doomed
