RIVERSIDE, Jan. 27.-(Regular Cor
respondence) Another victim of the
man Williams, who was arrested in this
city some weeks ago by the United
Etates marshal on a charge of using The
mails for fraudulent purposes. has
shown up in the person of Mason Rodg-
ers of Elsinore. Rodgers writes the
sheriff that he received one of Williams
blackmailing letters and notes, but he
never took any notice of the document
and Williams was arrested before he
had time to push his scheme against
Rodgers. The letter and note sent Rodg-
ers by the designing Williams is in the
hands of the sheriff to be used in evil
dence against Williams when that wor
thy's trial is called in the United States
courts.

Disobadience of Orders

The question whether an officer IL
justified under any circumstances in
disobedience to the orders of his COM
mander Is illustrated by the example Of
a naval officer long before Nelson's time.
In an undecisive naval action off Tou-
Ion in 1743 the English admirals in COM
mand lost the opportunity Of victory
by shrinking from a close engagement.
Captain Hawke, in the Berwick. of
Ga guns, beheld with honest indignation
this cruel wrong to his country, and,
seeing no prospect of a general action,
boldly, and in defiance Of orders, quit
ted his station and selected the Poder-
a Spanish ship of equal force-as his
adversary. After very smart engage
ment of half an hour. he took her and
had possession. She was retaken. ow-
ing to the mismanagement of two Eng
lish admirals; but Hawkes. honor was
not taken in her. After the memorable
court-martial had decided on the merit
of the admirals. a flag promotion took
place, in which the name of Captain
Hawke was passed over. His majesty
King George demanded of his minister
why that officers name was omitted.
The reply was that, in the late trial, it
appeared that Capt. Hawke had dis
obeyed orders by quitting the line to
fight the Poder. What" said the in
dignant monarch, disgrace a man for
fighting too much? He shall be my
ADMIRAL" And the royal justice and
discernment was rewarded by the de-
feat Of Contains in 1859. 1t is said that
his majesty, on hearing the news, pulled
off his wig and kicked it about the palace
of Kensington for joy, congratulating
himself on having been the instrument
of so much good fortune to his country.

IS brought at the instance of L. Frank
Jennings, q well known undertaken of
southampton against Rev Eugene A.
johnson, the Indian-leader and pastoral
director, as executor Of the estate of
one Mary Walker, not the distinguished
DR. Mary Walker, recently deceased.
The Rev Eugene A. johnson is the
plaintiff in the big suit recently brought
against the Long Island Railroad Com
pany TO prevent it from continuing its
use Of lands, which the MOntauk tribe.
through it's representative, Rev Mr..
johnson, claims possession, and also to
secure an accounting for the past use
of the same.
1t will be rendered in this connec-
ton that it is the same lands in ques-
ton on which the government estab-
lshed the Montauk camp. When Mrs.
Mary Walker recently passed away the
plaintiff undertaken made a contract
with parties, as claimed, to provide a
casket and conduct the funeral ar
rangements. The Rev Eugene A. John
son, who was made the executor Of the
estate of Mary Walker, was duly pre-
scented with bill for S17 as full charges
for the funeral ceremony. This bill.
Rev. Mr. johnson claims, was not a le-
gal and lawful contract, and payment
has not been made.
The supreme court of New York. in
a suit brought by the Indians to recov-
er, has ruled that the Indians are not
responsible parties in the courts, have
no legal standing. and that all con-
tracts made by them are Void. Fur
Their, that if any white man makes a
contract or agreement with them, the
contract is taken at his own personal
risk, as he can have no redress in the
courts
Acting on this ground, as the courts
held in a case brought by them, that
they had no standing, the Montauk In
dians, through their counsel, Francis
M. Morrison, Esq, have concluded that
in suit brought against them they
likewise had no standing, and accord
