Recovery of stolen Goods.

SAN Francisco June 15.-The following
despatch has been received:
Boyles Camp, Tule Lake, June 12.-This af-
ternoon the Modocs sent for Dr. Cabaues and
requested second interview in order that fur
ther facts relative to the missing articles, orna-
ments and wearing apparel might be made
known. Black Jim acknowledged he stole
eighteen dollars from Mr.. Meacham, and pass
ed in the amount. Boston Charley said be had
Mr.. Mea chants pistol hidden under rock and
would return it if he had chance.
Mr.. Meacham's memorandum book was de-
stroyed by squaws. Steamboat Frank said he
knew where the coat and vest of Dr. Thomas
were and they could be obtained in half day.
The reverend gentleman's gold watch was car
red off by the Warm Spring Indians.
Lieutenant Cranston's ring was lost. The
leading braves including Capt. Jack said thirty
shots were fired during the massacre of the
peace commissioners, and actively shifted the
responsibility of the murder from one to an
other. All agreed, however, that Bogus Char
ley did not participate in the massacre, aud
from first to last condemned it as an unfair and
unsafe proceeding. The total number of cap
tiyeS is 156

Gen. sherman,s Views.

NEW YORK, June 14,-Gen, Sherman had a
conversation with reporter last evening" and
IS made to say of Gen, Davis concerning his in
dictment of Capt. Jack and the preparations
tor hanging him and some of his associates !:
II the statement is correct there is no doubt
that Gen. Davis must have exceeded his DUTY
and he would have been held responsible for
his acts. He should have been guided by mill
tary rules and the law. We all know they are
murderers. The President himself says they
are murderers, and had Gen. Davis shot them
while being pursued l do not think he would
have exceeded his duties. He did not do this,
and could not afterward shoot them in cold
Slood Gen Davis's report to Gen. Schofield,
Gen. Sherman said, "may differ from that pub
lished in the papers. Davis is too experienced
an officer to do anything that would bring
odlum upon the army or lay himself opon to a
military court martial for exceeding his duty as
an officer The Gen. thinks there will be no
difficulty about disposing of the Modocs under
arrest; those found guilty of murder will be
banged or shot, and if it is proved that there
was an agreement for general uprising among
the tribes, others will receive some punishment
as warning to the Indians. He remarked,
however, that it was pity that the guilty Mo-
docs were not shot at first, then all this com
mission business and expense would have
bren avoided. AS to the killing alleady few
of the prisoners, Gen. Sherman says those who
committed the deed are low blackguards and
murderers, who had nothing to do with the

Plan, shade Tree. aud Box Them.

Mr.. EpIroR-Alow me TO heartily
commend the efforts already made by
many OF our citizens to heautiy our
streets by planting shade trees What has
been done Is worthy OF still further imita-
'a'ion by every property owner IN our city.
Let each and every one consider that he
will not have performed his duty towards
the adornment OF our city until his lot or
lots shall be studded with shade aud orna-
mental trees. BY SO doing he will at the
same time add to the value of his proper
T, as well as to the beauty of the city.
Who has not been delighted with such
cities US Cleveland, New Haven and Kala-
mazoo, which are embowered, as II were.
in forest OF shade trees in every stree,
and avenue?
VIII yon not, Mr.. Editor, aid in urging
forward this good work2 Spring time !,
here This is the appropriate season foi
d'scharemg the duty which we owe to our.
selves IN 'uaking our city as beautiful ana
attractive as in our power.
Planting trees, however, ieithom boring
thc~, and keeping them boxed for several
years, is labor lost. A neat aud substantia
1ox should surround every tree, or it vii
I soon serve, for tho thoughlless and indif
ierent, as hitching post, and of course b,
destroyed.
Again, no idle boy can pass an unboxe,
tree without testing how firmly it is plant
ed, by giving it violent shaking. rh
effect OF this daily disturbance OF n youn,
tree is well known to any person who ha
had any experience in planting trees in
