holds, under the circumstances therein
stated, a military commission to be H.
legal, but which there are entirely diff

Milligan was q resident of \ State du-

aud unobstructed for his prosecution ;
he was neither q prisoner Of war nor
attached In any way to the military or
naval service of the United States.
According to the instructions hereto
fore referred to, no civil tribunal has
jurisdiction in a case disclosed by the
papers before me. Pages 40 and Al
thereof are as follows:
"Section 40. There exists no law,
or body Of authoritative laws, OF the
rules Of action between hostile armies,
except that branch of the law OF nature

applicable to an armed conflict with

but the circumstances attending the
assassination Of Candy and Thomas are
such as make their murder as much q
violation of the laws of savage rs Of
civilized warfare, and the Indians
concerned In 1t fully understood the
baseness and treachery of their acts.
1t Is difficult to define exactly the rela.
tions OF the Indian tribes to the United
States, but as they have been rscog'
nized as Independent commissions for
treaty making purposes, and as they
frequently carry on organized and pro
tracted wars, they may properly, rs II
seems to me, be held subject to those
rules of warfare which make q nego.

MASSACRE OF INDIAN PRIS-
ONERS.

Our dispatches give details Of an un-
provoked and brutal massacre Of six
Indian prisoners by the whites, while
on their way from Falrchild's Ranch,
where they had surrendered into our
camps and uuder escort. While these
savsges (the Indians, we mean) were
doubtless guilty Of war with the Uni
ted States, and, perhaps, Of even worse
crimes, ssill they were prisoners Of
war, and this act Of cold-blooded muir
der will lind nc sympathy. 1t does
not become us to initiate the Indian
by such acts Of assassination. The
murderers Of these Indian prisoners
have violated all rules Of warfare, all
sense Of common decensy, and their
base act will be execrated by the bet
ter sense of the people.

oAprAIN JACKS DEFENSE.

Now that The Acknowledgement has
decided that Captain Jack and his CO.
~a,ssssins are to be tried BY a military
commission, It will be interesting to
know what system Of defense will be
adopted BY him. Dispatches say that
he Is even now wild and mad. Has he
heard o fMortimer, and Is he trying the
old dodge I; or have the accumulated
Injuries and disasters which have bsen
hsaped upon him and his tribe by the
agents of the Indian Bureau, the regu-
lar troops, the Oregon volunteers and
the Warm Spring Msthodists, really
turned that mighty brain, which has,
for months, by skillful engineering
and wonderful sagaclty, held the for
ces Of the whole Government at bay ?
Jack can ind some defense. It exists,
deny 1t as we may. Not, perhaps, for
the murder Of the Peace Commission
ers, but in the origin Of the struggle
for resistance to the order driving him
and his tribe from the hunting-grounds
which have for centuries been occu'
pied BY his people; for plumber
and robbing by Indian agents
for the alleged tr~eacherous muir
der Of his father in the Ben Wright
massacre; for the consciousness which
ever Indians feel, that day by day
they are being driven away from theiI
ancient domains, step by step, theii
feet are tending toward humiliation
There was no justice in, no palliation
which we whites can sec for. the muir.
der of General Candy and DR.. Thomas.
Il was barbarous, diabolical and
treacherous In the utmost degree. But
this is the Indian character. We all
know 1t before there were Peace Com
missioners. The progress Of civiliza'
ton Is stern in Its requirements, and
the savage must flee before 1t or be
overwhelmed. We need the land the
Modocs occupy; ergo, they must 60
elsewhere. This Is the somewhat harsh
logic Of civilized America, and this is
what makes Indian wars. 1t 10 not
for US to discuss the justice Of this the
DRY. It's demands are memorable, and
the original occupants Of the United
States must obey the settled purpose
and policy Of the Caucasian races who
claim their hunting grounds. The
trial of Captain Jack and his fellow
prisoners will afford an opportunity
for the advocates Of the Quaker policy
to give many new pages to the history
OF the Modoc nation, and tears will
flow lavishly as their oft-repeated
wrongs are recited in song and story,
in pulpit aud forum, by Eastern di'
vines and philanthropists.
