c'Apt. jack surrendered.
Oa Sunday the famous Modoc
chief, on lieing surrounded by Col.
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. It

is said tbat pig iron even now is to
be exported to England, and that! it
can be delivered there frotti this
country cheaper than it can be ob
tained from English producers. 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 injustice of
the new law is manifest for th© same
price is charged for carrying a pa
per or a' package ot them, fiye or a
hundred or a thousand and
this inequality will work to the ben
efit of the large city dailies ajnd
weekley’s, and the injury of the
county press.
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. Address

—The Washington county Democratic
convention will <be held in the Court
House,Washington,on Monday, June*23d,
to nominate a county and district ticket.
W. Lee Archer, of Jefferson township, is
a candidate for Assembly. There are 6
candidates for Sheriff, 5 for Treasurer, I
for Commissioner, 2 for Director of the
Poor and one for Auditor.
•—The Republicans of Blair county. Pa.,
have nominated the following ticket.
Assembly, Seth R. McCune; Sheriff, Ma
jor Alexander Robb; Prothonotary, Jo
seph Ficbtner; Commissioner, John
Clarke; Jury Commissioner, M. 6. Smith;
Coroner, Isaac Lykens; Poor Director,

—The New Orleans Picayune refused
to pay its taxes to the Kellogg collector,
whereupon he advertises its entire estab
lishment for sale at auction. 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. John !
Scott, in voting against and refusing to
receive any portion of the„extra pay vot- j
ed to Congressmen, meets our entire ap
proval
—Coe, of the Broomfield Advocate and
Frees says: Under the amendment to
the constitution, tbe State Treasurer is
hereafter to be elected by the people in
stead of by tbe Legislature, and as the
time for nominating candidates for that
important position is approaching and
gentlemen have already been named in
that connection from different parts of
the State, let me suggest tbe name of
Isaac Wright, Esq., cashier of tbe New
port Deposit Bank, as tbe Republican
candidate for State Treasurer. 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. If be is
nominated Perry county will roll np an
old-fashioned Republican mojority for
him.

County Convent
The Committee decided not to appoint

leave that matter to the County Conven
tion.' 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

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

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.
Tbe question summer quarters :?
now trying to be .a very important oae
for city folks, Hating impossible to keep
children in ttfh summer. Our
