General TO attend 10 these and other cold bloodod muir
dcrs Of Indians by white mem few examples OF such
Justice would do more for peace than whole summer

This despatch certainly reads like an
earnest and urgent one; but Mr.. MCCRARY
was quito too busy just then, apparently.
In connecting with SCHURz and HAYES plans
for hanging rcd warriors, to pay any attcn-
tion TO white horse thieves and murderers.
even though these last were wrcaking their
fury on a tribe to which the HAYES Adj
ministration was under endless obligations
for services rendered against the Bannocks
and Shoshoncs. For it was the Umatilas
who unaidod by white troops, killed the
famous Snake chief EGAN and a largo num-
Der OF his men. But HowARDs appeal,
they have been faithful" and his we'll
meant suggestion that u few examples Of
justice would do more for peace than a
campaign, fell on deaf cars; while Umatilla
Agent CORNoYER. writing to Mr.. 1IAYT on
Dec u, the date Of the sentence of WHITE
OWL aud QUIT-TI-TUMps adds the follow
ing:
Tie Grand Jury that indicted these Indians had in
their possos the names OF certain persons who could
give them Information sufficient 10 ndic the murlcrcrs
OF lLtA nrJu an Indian who murdered last septcm
her, but tor other they were not called
before the Grand jury"
This, then, Is the other side OF the story.
II suggests that justice on the frontier
means one thing for the red man and an
other for the white. About the time that
HowARD's useless appeal reached Washing
ton, an officer wrote from the camp near
Umatilla Agency: "All want troops here
The men of means and property want Gov
crnmcnt contracts, the scalawags want to
steal horses, under the protection of the
troops; as long as there is any kind of
row here, it Is supposed that the troops
will remain. Tho outlaws make tho rows.
the representative men shield and protect
them" With such an arrangement on the
frontiers, backed up by such an Administra-
tion In Washington, what are the Indians

The sheriff Cannot Put 1t On the Priest.

All persons are shocked at the thought
that two prisoners were executed while
swift-wingcd messenger from the Governor
forl idding their execution was actually
passing over tho wires to the Sheriff who
enacted the part OF hangman.
We confess that with all our adherence Of
the wckcdness of the guilty Molly Maguires,
we instinctiyely share in this feeling 1t
matters not whether these men We're inno-
cent or guilty. 1t matters not how guilty
they may have been. 1t matters not that
while both alike and earnestly protested
their innocence of the particular homicide
OF which they had been convicted one Of
them had voluntarily admitted, under oath,
lis completely in another murder. The tor
Tble fact remains that they were executed
at a comparatively and unnecessarily early
hour in the morning, and aztec the Chief
Executive officer of the State, on whom the
whole burden Of the responsibility rested,
had decided and ordered that the exeeItiOn
should not then take place
A circumstance which serves TO render the
execution at SO early an hour inoScusable
and particularly ccnsursbe Is that it was
notorious, having been published in the
.
counsel for the condemned wcra earnestly
and hopefully appealing TO the Governor for
n reprieve. 1t is impossible TO understand
how, with full knowledge Of this fact on the
part Of everybody, the execution should
have been hurried forward, unnecessarily,
before either tAo Governor or the counsel
had been heard from. II would have been
40 supcriluOus prccaution, rs the result has
shown. for the Sheriff to have sent a tcle-
gram to the Governor, asking if there was
nyrcason fer delay, and then to have paused
little for reply before proceeding with his
work of death. 1t would have consumed
but a few moments Of time and have cost at
most only lew dimes. There have been
precedents for such course. 1t has been
pursued by other Sherills similarly situated,
Even il It tnd not been, one would suppose
the propriNiy Of It would have suggested
itself in this instance
We observe that ono excuse offered on be-
| half Of the Sheriff for his unbecomng haste
is that the time was fixed by the priest who
confessed the culprts. This will not do at
! all. The REF possibility rests upon the Sheriff,
and he cannot shirk it by placing it on some
! body else. II was no part of the priest s
! duty 10 tx tho hour and moment of execu-
| ton. This duty devolYed upon the Sheriff,
and upon him solely; and there was no way
In which he could diyest himself of this
| dread Official responsibility.

! cumstaAvos have made the execution very

Frontier Justice.

Tho people Of Pendlcton, orEon, have
Just enjoyed the treat of hanging two
Umatilla Indians, WHITE OWL and QUIr-Tl-
TuMps, convicted of numbering GEORGE
CoGGAN, n white man, last July COGGAN
and two companions. FOSTER and BUNKER,
were on their way from Grand Iondc Valley
10 Pondlcton, ana We're attacked by Indians
near Cayuse Station, CoGGAN being killed,
BUNKER badly wounded, and FOorlR cs-
Gaping As the Bannocks We're Iaidiug at
that time in that very region, and as Una
tlla scouts were aiding the troops, IL was
Ryerred that the Bannocks We're guilty;
but number Of Umatilla Indians Were
aftorward arrested, indicted and tried for
this killing and two were convicted and
sentenced on the l2th Of December last,
and, thirty days later, were hanged with
out complaints or cXcJses or cont, 5sions Of
guilt or protestations Of innocence, but re-
manning stolid and stauch and singing
their death songs.
That is ono part o! the story. The ether
part Is that during the same summer, not
far from the place whore CoGGAN was killed,
ILLA-IIE-Jni, an umatilla Indian, was MUIR
dered in cold blood by two white men, lie
was unarmed, gave no provocation, and was
