A CORRESPONDENT Of the New York
Herald has lately been at Jackson,
Tennessee, interviewing some of our
lawyers and members Of the Supreme
Court, with reference TO the vacant
Chief Justiceship on the Supreme Bench
of the United States. An idea obtains
somehow that the correspondent repre-
sents President Grant to some extent, as
well as the Herald, and that he is de-
sirous of feeling Southern sentiment on
the subject. We will publish the result
of the Herald mans interview.

THE EXECUTION.
JACKSONVILLE, Oregon, Oct.

JACKSONVILLE, Oregon, Oct. 4.
The following are the particulars of
the execution of the Modoc Indians at
Fort klamath yesterday: Boston Char
lie and Black jim were first led to the
scaffold, Schonchin following. They
manifested iron nerve, apparently re-
solved to die bravely as they lived.
Can't. Jack went calmly to the scaffold,
but looked abiect and miserable. The
irons had been taken off, but all were
securely pinioned to the scaffold. In
terpreters, Capt. Apologize and David
Hill, explained to the Indians the nature
of the order read them by the adjutant
promulgating the sentence. The two
reprieved Indians, Barncho and Sioux
were on the ground, ironed and under
guard. During the reading the Indians
remained seated on the platform of the
drop, listening, but understanding moth
ing except as explained by interpreters.
The chaplain then offered earnest pray
er. At 1915 a. m. the nooses were
placed on the Indians necks. 1t was
found necessary to cut off part of Jack {
long hair, which was in the way of the
rope. Captain Hoge took the farewell
of the prisoners; black caps were
drawn over their faces, and at 1920 the
signal was given, the rope cut and thf
drop fell. Captain Jack and Black. jim
died easily, but Schonchin and Boston
Charley We're terribly conyulsed,ss AMI
repeatedly drew up their legs. AS tb'
drop fell, a smothered cry of horror ros'
/ from the crowd of five hundred klamath
+ Indians. The wives and relatives OF tn
condemned Modocs in the stoekade, VIII
had a full view of the execution, sen
up howls and walls of anguish. ST
