EATING HIS WORDS.

EATING HIS WORDS.
A recent libel suit in MOSCOW, IN
which city the author of a quarto vol
une was subjected to most ignomini-
GUS punishment, very forcibly reminds
one of the inestimable blessing enjoyed
In country in which the freedom of
the press is a guaranteed and estab-
iished right. The facts in the case re-
ferred to are as follows:
In the above named city goodIy-
sized book was published in vindica-
ton of the rights of the subject. The
work contained singing sarcasms
aimed at the venality of the officials,
with many satirical and humorous
illusions to bribe taking and other in
iquities. Even the Gar himself was
handled without gloves, his acts were
fearlessly denounced, and q powerful
argument was adduced In behalf of the
rights of his subjects. The maladmin-
istratiOn of law was set forth in strong,
plain language.
The book attracted general notice,
but this was bad for the author. He
was arrested and thrown into prison.
After q short aud summary trial his
production was pronounced libel ,
and he was condemned to sseat his own
words'' or suffer the punishment Of
the knout. This terrible instrument
of torture is in the shape OF IL long
whip or scourge. and is composed of
many tough thongs of thick, hard
skin plated together and interviewer
with strands of stout wire. The Grim
inal is stripped and firmly bound to
knx,r or lyoe hi ,spf401onf0Hy
apart to admit the free motion of the
head. The blows are laid upon the
bare back, every stroke cutting like
knife, and soon the victim of the
scourge is shapeless mass of blood
and flesh. One hundred blows are
equivalent to a death sentence. This
was the alternative of the unhappy
author.
The day fixed for carrying the sem
tence of the court into execution ar
rived. A platform was erected in one
of the public squares of the city.
Bound hand and foot, the victim of
despotic power was seated in the cen
tire of the platform. An immense con-
course of people had gathered to wit
ness the strange spectacle. The impe-
rial provost. the magistrate, the physi-
clan and the surgeon of the Gar were
in attendance. The obnoxious book
had been separated from its binding,
and as an act of grace the margin had
been cut off. The leaves were then
rolled up, not unlike cigar-lighters.
And there they were, basketful.
Now the meal began. Amid roars of
laughter from the ignorant and de-
graded populace, the provost served
the author leaf by leaf with his own
production, putting the rolls Of paper
one by one into his mouth. He slowly
chewed and swallowed onc-third of his
book, when the medical gentleman
concluded he had received into his
stomach as much of tho innutritiou:
material rs was compatible with safety
He was then rcconducted to his cell Il
digest his meal. The two following
days the same scene was enacted, unit
every leaf was swallowed, and as :
matter of fact he was compelled to lit
orally eat his own words and feast o,
his own fun.

ADMIRAL PORTER ON THE CHINESE

Under all the circumstances of the
case do not see upon what ground
we can classify the Chinese as uncivil-
lied, especially since we admit the
most ignorant negroes of the South to
all the rights of citizenship. Certainly
it seems absurd to exclude Chinese
from our territory because they per-
form certain kinds of labor ut low
wages. We should do the best we can
with them and endeavor to make them
good citizens. Who knows but
that in the future the Chinese will
make the best of citizens, belonging,
as they do, to Il race which for four
thousand years has been controlled by
IL power which they could annihilate
in n moment, If so disposed? Perhaps
the Chinese are Il blessing III disguise,
and God is leading the bcnightcd race
from land of idoiatry to plant them
in a Christian country in order that
they may reap the benefits Of Christi
anity. Who knows but that they will
become necessity to our land, clear
ing up those immense tracts of desert
and swamps where no one yet has
dared to settle, providing food for the
constantly increasing population of the
world: No one can tell what arc the
designs Of Providence, or how soon
they may be realized.

At the request Of the Secretary Of
 the Interior Department approved by the Secretary of War. Capt A. k. Chafee, Sixth Cavalry, wllI proceed
 without delay to tie San Carlos h. dlan Agency, and assume temporary charge thereof, relieving Agent H.
 |. Hart, to whom Captain Chafee will receipt for pa6lic property per yaining to the reservation.
 1T we are not very greatly in error the above order requiring Captain Chafe to assame temporary charge of the San Carlos Agency is in con travention of law. l. IS we'll known fact that tLe question of giy- ing the milit4ry management of h. dians has occupied none or less of the time of Congress for several years and 50 far has been invariably met by a negative vete, and now Schurz has done what tue represen- tatiges of tue people refused to do. but in dong SC has unqaestionably done it under ! misappreheusion of facts. The San Carlos Indians are at peace and # fairly treated pil] remain so. We remember tbat year sgo they were obliged to sab sat upon aeorns or whatever else they could find in the mountains to appease the bangs of hunger, but notwithstanding their extremity they were obedient to the orders of sher agent and expressed deteriniaaion to maintain friendly relations with he Thites. The government has gain failed to feed them as per agreement and again they are turned ioose upon shs valleys and noun tains to find a substitute, 3 some thing 60 confront starvation and still they are at peace. Aad now inoppo- sition to iaw and their expressed vii tao above sEder places them where only state of gar could legally do, subject se | power shey have repeat edly sad theJ would never willingly obey.

There was no aeemsisy for the
 failure to fruisa tbs San Carlos Ia
 diaus theW expected ration of -four OD Friaay lasA Although the con-
 tractor bad Jailed ia his agreement,
 there vas moss fhzn sufficient aour in Globe to have enabled the govern
 meat. through is representative to have kept iss promise to the Indians. It seems that tho government has no care for thess Indians beyond keep ing the word of premise to the ear,
 and breaking t to their hope. Those. having the feeding of them, should remember Milo's end, swedged in. thar timber which he strove to rsnd, s but ln case of sa outbreak which is
 not likely tho frontiersman and pres pector would sa8er most, and tbere-
 fore, it becomes them to note she. fact of their receiving less than tue
 promised allowance. We here assert that there has not been an Indian war with reservation Indians since
 the system of providing for them gss
 adopted that has not resulted from
 the failure to supply them with s:u-
 pulated food. The ModOe var is
 case in point. Twspty-One of them were starved UE their reservation snd had gone 10 work for the settlers on Tuls Lake and Lost river and were contonted, and 10 further charge up- on the government. Fairchild and others conceived it a duty incumbent. on them to causs the government to
 force them back to the control of the agent, the demand gas made upon them to return, but remembering their forner treatment they refused to acquiesce. when the regglars vera ordered from Fort Klamath 10 CO., cree them, but failing iu the attempt other Usited Slatos soldiers were or dered to the:r assistance when net leBs than two thouaand soldiers were in the field, but notwithstanding this force, Captain Jack. Boston Char ley, Searf4cod Charley. their eight cen followers and the few of their tribe who subsequently joined them made successfSl rssistsnce fer al- most trO years. They finally sur rendered ea I1la Lake, asd 1t is still g question whether any of them were ever killed sa batsls. Two on E of the twenty-one were missing, tu, we de know that General Canby. | Thomas and aaofher, peace eommis- sioners were killed by them in the !" Lava Beds g With this experience, those curious ia such matters can calculate whether CT not 1t is cheaper 1 to feed Indians than fight them.

A Snlandid Gift

Virginia has had number Of superb gifts
to her higher educational institutions-S State
and deaominational, public and private
both from her own citizens and from en-
lightened benefactors Of sound learning in
other States. These gentlemen have Justly
received the thanks OF the Legislature, and
have won for their memories d warm place
in the hearts OF the people. AS the centuries
roll by many future generations will rise up
to call them blessed. But in our opinion
the browning gift for which the thanks OF
our people, OF our children, and our chill
dren's children to tue latest generation, are
due, is that OF the holders Of Firginia's
bonds, who have freely giuen frosa three to
