A committee OF the Board of Supervis-
ors and Mechanics Delberative Assembly
last night adopted final resolutions rela-
tive to a training ship in this harbor.
They request Senator Sargent TO apply
for some naval vessel from the Govern
ment. 1t seemed to be the opinion OF
several not to ask for the ship California,
as they thought it was too large; but
resolution was finally adopted giving that
vessel the preference.

The Military Commission for the trial
of the Modocs met here on the 9TH inst,
and concluded their labors yesterday at
IL o. clock in the morning. The Commits
sion is entitled TO every consideration for
the impartiality and latitude shown to
the prisoners during the trial. Evidence
for the prosecution of a most positive
character was adduced, leaving no doubt
in the minds OF those who listened to the
evidence, of the guilt of the prisoners az
raigned. The only witnesses produced
for the defense were Scar Faced Charley,
Dave, One-eyed Nose and William. Their
evidence amounted to nothing in favor
of the prisoner. 1t was simply a recital
of what the Klamath Lake Indians had
done, and told them, Modocs, since this
trouble commenced. The only testi-
mony produced by the prosecution which
was of no value was that Mr.. Dyan, In
dian agent of the Klamath Reservation
He could swear to nothing positively, ex.
cept that he accompanied General Candy
and the Peace Commissioners to the
council tent on the 18th of April. Nc
doubt exists in minds of those who list.
ened to the trial but that the Commission
have found them guilty of the charges
and specifications for which they were
tried. Soldiers and citizens of this place
took lively interest in the trial. The
prisoners were very attentive, and seemed
to rely upon the justice OF the Commits
sion.
