Perry’s command, surrendered, to-' gether with two of his warriors, five squaws and seven- children. The Modocs were taken into camp, where their presence caused con siderable commotion. “Captain Jack is captured ! Captain Jack is cap tured !” was shouted by a sturdy sergeant, and then the valley echoed with yells and cheers. Col. Perry had been out only 13 hours, and had brought in the last of the Modocs. The war was virtually ended. Capt. Jack is said to be about 40 years old, five feet eight inches high, compactly built, with large and well formed face, full of indi viduality, and in appearance and bearing every inch a chief! Now that the Modocs are captured, the vexed question, “what shall be done with them?” comes up for solu- tion. OUR NOMIKJEES. The primary elections occurred on Saturday, the result of which is - published in another column. The vote polled was light compared with that of last year. Thefe was fvery little excitement in the country districts or even in the boroughs in regard to the matter, and conse quently the backwardness of the season and the comparative unim portance of the contest, were suffi cient to keep many voters at home. The vote on Prothonotary shows that there were 2240 votes cast, being some “00 less than were polled last spring. The ticket nominated, however, is a good one and will be elected from top to bottom. Of Mr. Cross, onr candidate lor Assembly, it is unnecessary to speak. He has already served one term in the Legislature, and bis renomination is a deserved reward for bis able, faithful and useful service. Our candidate for Pro thonotary, 0. A. Small, Esq., is a young man of upright character and liberal education—a graduate ol Jefferean College, and a member of the Beaver Bar. He will bring strength to the ticket, and if elect* ed, as we have no doubt he will be, he will fill the position with credit to himself and honor to the party. Of dames H. Mann, of New Brighton, we can say that those who know him best, speak warmly in bis praise, and if the half is true, that is said of him, be has reason to be proud of the esteem in which he is held by his friends. Mr, Mann is an old teacher and has an extensive acquaintance in the north east section of our county, and cannot fail to be a popular candi date. He will certainly be elected Geo. W. Shroades, our candidate for Commissioner, is well known throughout the county. He has been an earnest and faithful soldier in the Republican ranks, is popular with the young men ol the party and will easily be elected, Samuel McManamy was nomina* ted for Poor House Director with - out opposition, a compliment that he richly deserved for his long and faithful services to the party. John Wilson, nominated for Jury Commissioner, is every inch a man, and will, of course* be elected with* out opposition. Joseph F. Culbertson, our nomi nee for Auditor, is a worthy young man, and well qualified to discharge the duties of the office. other candidates are all good spoen, and the ticket, as a whole, is excellent .and strong. But, in say ing this, we do not wish to reflect upon the defeated candidates. The supporters of each candidate doubt less considered their man the best, and the success of one candidate over another, under the present system, does not necessarily prove that the successful one is better than the defeated one. In, fact all the candidates were good men, and any of them would have, made a good ticket. The result was ac cepted in.the right spirit by the de* feated candidates, and good feeling prevailed in the Convention. The party is united, harmonious, and enters on the campaign under favor-' able auspices. Miss Susan B. Anthony who voted in Rochester last Fall is to be tried on the third Monday of June, under the Ku Kliix laws for conspiring against the peace and of the United States, and unlawfully influencing an election, she having voted. Miss Anthony has lectured on the sub ject throughout Monroe county, and the sheriff has reported that it is impossible to obtain an ignorant jury, since every man has been thoroughly informed as to the mat ter, and therefore, a change of venue has been granted in the case to Ontario county. The unwearied and indomitable Miss Susan, it. is reported, has started to stump that county also, and it would be laughable if she is able there to bring about the sdme condition of things as in Monroe. Her arrest was a mistake in the first place, inasmuch as she had voted a number of times before without any difficulty. Miss An thony is poor, and to pay her legal expenses, contributions are solicit ed. The trial will be a conflict be tween State and national authority. The question hinges on who are citizens, and whether under the 14th Amendment, all citizens are not equally entitled to the privilege of voting. She cannot be if declared a citizen, without abridg ing the privilege of citizens, and if she is acquitted, then the women will vote without fear here after, What course will be pur sued to avoid the difficulty in the ease, we do not know, but the trial, whatever its result, will push on the woman’s cause, and hasten the time of their emancipation. Goverxoe Dix has vetoed the Local Option bill, that 'passed the Nevy York Legislature, and the temperance men of the State are indignant at him on account of it, and propose “to shoot down the first man that hauls down the tem perance flag.” In Chicago the Li quor question is creating a great stir, and occupying public atten tion. Under a State law the selling of liquoir on Sunday is prohibited ; but this law is repugnant to the Sa loon Keepers’Union, which has held several meetings to discuss the best coruse to be pursued by the saloon keepers, to break it and avoid the penalties. Most of the saloons had closed their doors on Sunday, or made a pretence of doing so, but in accordance with a previous agree ment made on Friday, the 23d ult., and with a full understanding that the law is constitutional, the liquor men determined to defy the law, and to resist it in such numbers as to render its execution impracticable. On the Sunday fallowing, therefore, all the saloons were in full blast and patronized by large crowds. A large number of arrests were made, and what will be the final result is un certain, as the saloon keepers threat en to carry the war into politics. From an address, recently deliv ered at London by the President of the British Iron and Steel Institute, we are informed that the iron manu facture of Great Britain is no long er in a prosperous condition, and owing to the very considerable ad vance in the price of labor, coal and pig iron, railroad iron bars cannot be produced at less than fifty per cent, above the average price of the last half dozen years. In regard to the future be is of the opinion that unless new discoveries of coal be made in Europe the United States, which possesses unlimited quanti ties and most enormous deposits of coal, will offer a serious rivalry to British manufacturers of iron.

If this is so, it will not be many years before the doctrine of fi*ee trade in England will be unpopular, and protective laws be passed for the benefit of the manufactory interests of the country. Then the United States will favor free trade of course. Resolutions were adopted by the Ohio Editorial Convention, recently assembled at Columbus, Ohio, in fa vor of graduating the rate of pos tage on papers, in order to have a rate within the county where the paper is published ; a rate vnthin the Congressional District and out side of the county; a rate within the State and outside of the county; and a rate outside of the Stale where published.

The June number of the Repub lic comes as usual full of able and interesting articles, among which we would call especial attention to “No Party or New Party,” “The State of Louisiana,” “was the War for the Union Wrong,” “What our People are Doing,” “Assumption of the State Debt.” The Republic is a Republican magazine, contain ing correct information on the lead ing political questions of the day, and is well worth the two dollars charged for it per year.

For a few days the Pic. raved about “hellish radical despotism,” “usurpation,” “constitutional liberty,” and “dying game,” but a day or two before the sale it weakened, and paid the taxes. —A St. Louis Democratic editor aptly compares the McEneryites to the Modocs, thus: “TbeModocs are making the last stand of their race for the homes of their ancestors and the sanctity of their old bunting grounds; and the people of Lou isiana are making their last stand for the sanctity of free elections and the mainte nance of popular rights.” —lf Governor Jewell slays his chance of being elected to the Senate of the United Stafes nest year is excellent. The office of Senator is tbe most desirable for a quiet man of respectable abilities and ample revenue that the Government of the United Slates has to offer. Why, then, should the brightest jewel of Con necticut abandon such a prospect, to fig ure in a merely ceremonial capacity at the hyperborean court of the Cz*r. —The Springfield Republican says : The last sentence in the call for tbe Temper ance State Convention in New York is significant. ‘Whoever hauls down tfie temperance* flag,” the committee gay, “shoot him on tbe spot.” However, Gov ernor Dix is such an old gentleman now, and has held so many offices, that perhaps tbe prospect of losing a reelection has not tbe same terrors for him that it bad when be and tbe century were young. —The recent stories to the effect that | Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, was living j under an assumed name have caused coo- j siderable excitement among the citizens, of Oregon now in Washington, as, if they i should be true, the effect will be to necess itate bis retiring from the Senate. Con gressman Wilson, from Oregon, wrote to Mr. Mitchell on the subject, a few days ago, and a reply from him is now looked for with much anxiety. —The Blair county Republicans in con vention, adopted the following; Resolved, That we disapprove of the action of the costitutlonai Covention in voting Us members $2,500 pay each, be lieving itiliegal, and in the language of i Judge Black “it is a big steal.” | Resolved , That the course of Hon.

Mr. Wright is an ardent Republican, and is every way qualified for tbe position. He He will make a competent and faithful State Treasurer. He has hosts of friends, both in the country, and throughout tbe State. ‘ I believe he is the strongest man yet named for the nomination.

Candidates for nomination, as an nounced so far, are, for Assembly, Dr. G. CJ, Brush, of Sbeakleyville, and J. W. Barker, Esq., of Sandy Lake. There are three candidates for Treasurer, and oncc\ for Poor House Director. —The Washington Chronicle says: The turner of the resignation on the Ist day of July of Secretary Richardson, ;of the Treasury, is again being industriously circulated. Mr. Richardson stated on yesterday, to a Chronicle reporter, that his attention had been repeatedly called to the statement, as it bad been to vari ous financial rumors, in order to obtain from him kn expression of opinion. That he had never expreessed any opinion on the subje~ctTO any one, nor had be author ized any contradiction of it. There ap pears, however, to be some facts in con nection with it that would indicate tbat Mr. Richardson has still in view the ac ceptance of a proposition, which it is said had been made to him by capitalists of New York city, to take the bead of a banking house in Paris. The rumor, however, is not traceable to an official source, nor is there any reason to sup pose that President Grant has not full confidence in the wisdom and ability of Secretary Richardson . If he leaves the Cabinet his retirement win be entirely voluntary. —The Republicans of the interior are working earnestly for Judge Butler, of tbe Chester and Delaware districts. Tbe Lancaster Examine?, edited by Naval Officer Heistand, in a late issue of his paper, endorses Butler and op poses Paxson on tbe ground tbat “Here tolore, whenever k Supreme Judge was conceded to the East—by either party— Philadelphia has claimed and taken the candidate; or where she could not noffTT nate her own candidate, would nomination as faraway from Philadelphia as possible, in order to make her-claim stronger the next time. This has been the tactics of Democratic as well as Re publican politicians of Philadelphia in the past. It remains to be seen if this can be done again. The great political centre for the western part of tbe State, Pittsburgh, is monopolizing, but it does, occasionally, allow Beaver county to share !” Major E. B. Moore, editor of tbe Westchester Republican, a paper of influ ence and large circulation, endorses Judge Butler. He says: “The management of the last Republican Convention was both a disgrace to tbe party and to tbe Stale, and with whigh the good people of Chester county have no feelings in common, what ever may be tbe issue at stake. We are pleased to observe that the provincial Republican newspapers throughout tbe Commonwealth are giving notice, in no unmeaning language, that those disgrace ful proceedings must not be repeated.” —The Sunday Morning Times says: We predict that this will be the last year of tbe “Crawford County System” for making nominations for tbe Republican party in Philadelphia. There is great dissatisfaction in tbe party, because of its operation. Tbe same paper also says; As tbe time for the primary election draws near, tbe chances of the H >n. William Elliott for the nomination for the Bheriffality, approach nearer and nearer to absolute certainty. His canvass has been carried on openly aod squarely, and it has been a fair fight between him and bis opponents, Baldwin and Kerns. The Republican party appreciate the absolute necessity of nominating this fall, the strongest and most unexceptionable men available, and such a mao is to be found in Mr. Elliott a clear-beaded, prompt, energetic and de cided, he is just the man to hold the im portant office of High Sheriff of this great county, and these attributes are daily winning accessions (o the ranks of his friends. That he is trusted by the peo ple, is shown by the fact.of his repeated election to represent his district in the Auditor Jnry Com*. 9 . e A 25 86 S 3 85 36 •• • • 81 m\ s&i 671 »• a • 1 •■ • • 15 ”io •• • * 24 1 10 2 i 17 60 25 *• f • 22 15 31 21 1 24 13 IB 88 37 33 5 30 1 40 1H 72 •2 25 17 7 108 1 1J44 194 '438! -80 Q ican County Committee ' met on Tuesday of last ihe time for bolding tbe ion on the 24th of June.

Correspondence of the Radical, 10 87 73 116 56 PiULvDELPUIA, May 28,1873. For tbe lasl two days the Constitution al Convention have been having a lively time discussing the system of cumulative voting and other issues connected with the article on suffrage. Tb is morning M r . Campbell offered a repolution to strike out the word male from the Constitution the question was called, and the ladies got a vote of 23 ayes, to 84 nays, about one fourth, several members were alweat wHb would have voted in the affirmative • 30 votes being about the number women can count upon in the Convention, 15 21 58 The members voted themselves twenty five hundred dollars pay the other day, which all things considered is not much'. The prices of living in largo cities are im mense, aad the value of money much less than it used to be. One of the most attentive deleg-ues to his duties is Gen. William Lilly, ot Mauch Chunk. He is the gentleman of whom Col. Forney said why didn’t the Repub licans nominate him for Governor. He has black hair and eyes and a determined look about him. He feels the full weight of the responsibilities nf;his position. To day he spoke at some length in favor of the proposition to permit voters to in scribe their name upon their ballot, Mr. Bartholomew opposed it, and the amend ment was lost. Hon. D. L. Irabrie is working himself to death, be has actually grown thin since the work of the Convention has begun in earnest. The members seem to have a sort of peculiar faith in his method of counting the ayes and nays. It is to be hoped that his services well as those of the other gentlemen officials of the Con vention, will be properly appreciated per cuniarily. It is intensely hot in Conven tion Hail, you know the building was for mally a church, belonging to tbe Presby terian denominations they doubtless constructed the building to give the wor shiper s some faint premonitory idea of what awaited the wicked in futuro. Up in the second story, right next to the transcribing room, they have a restaurant with little cooking fixe attached. This makes the former apartment a deeply in teresting spot to those interested in the Darwinian theory, who bid lair to have an opportunity of testing the question of transmutation of species- The prospect being that if the thing is practicable, the denizens of the transcribing room will soon be transformed into salamanders On Monday evening we had quite s grand affair at the Academy of Music. Tbe old members of the State fencibles presented their flag by the hands of .Judge Kelley, to the present company. There was plenty of drilling, music and address by Col Page, and quite a bril liant house to observe the proceeding?. At the firing a great many heads went down bcbind*,tbe seats, the confidence of the citizens j'-of Philadelphia being excessive in military companies. There was oqM.a city troop who used to accidentally their own horses, and leave the ramlbd jo their muskets, occa sionally injuring a*fellow soldier, which some what disturbed our faith. There is to meeting of the Peace Society on Tue&xay next. in which io ad dition to the good doctrine, strawberries and ice cream will be distributed.
