would have legislation accomplished on the

case of Philadelphia. The very objects in
which the great mass of the people there
were most interested were rejected by their
own representatives, and measures that
were notoriously obnoxious were crammed

On Saturday last three companies
of V. S. soldiers under the command
of Captain Thomas left (Jen. (Jillem's
camp for the purpose of ascertaining
where (.'apt. Jack and his fifty or sixty
Modoc warriors hail located themselves
after leaving their former stronghold
in the lava In-ds. ('apt. Thomas and
. his men were very soon and unexpect
edly given a bloody solution of the
. question, for they had not proceeded
more than two miles ere they were sur
prised by the Modocd in their rocky
entrenchments, and lost nineteen men
killed, including several ollicers, and
eight men wounded, in my of whom
were left en the ground to the tender
mercies of the savages, the tioops be
ing unable to bring them olf. This is
a sad and unfortunate beginning of the
war of extermination against the nu
merically contemptible tribe of In
dians. As to when and how this Mo
doe business will end, we have not the
most remote conception. It forebodes
a vast ileal of trouble as well as im
mense expense to tlie government.
When the Constitutional Convention
consented to listen to addresses by a
bevy of strong-minded women in favor
of providing in the organic law of the
State for female sutl'rage, we almi
abandoned the hope that any good
could come out of Nazareth, or that
their own home papers have said about
them, for a morescurvv and villainous
set of men never before represented
that radical stronghold. Hut most of
them occupied seats in the House dur
ing the previous session their char
acters wire well known and yet,
when they came before tlie people for
re-election with all their sins of omis
sion and com mis-ion resting upon them,
these same papers, now so virtuous
and indignant, had not one word of
protest to enter against their election.
What we have said of the corruption
and debauchery of the Legislature of
this State may, with equal truth, be
alli.ined of almost every body of the
same kind throughout the I 111011.
Uecent evidences of that fact are so
numerous and conclusive that ' he who
runs may read." The same stain rests
upon Congress, so that it may truth
fully be said that this is now the most
demoralized and corrupt government
on the face of the earth. De Tocque
ville, a distinguished French writer
who visited this country more than a
quarter of a century ago, and w ho puli
lished a well known and celebrated
work on the institutions ami nature of
our government, felt constrained to
say, even at that carlv period in our
j history, "i. fi'ihl a nation, rotten be-
nained Mull, w ho had been committed for
stealing wood, gave him a push andhe fell
to the ground outside, where he lay some
what stunned for several seconds. J Jy that
time tlie prisoners had all got out, and lind
ing the gates of the yard open and no one
to dispute their departure, they walked oft",
each one taking a separate direction.

Representative government like this is a
tyianuy which many of the monarchies of
Europe would not da:e practice. The
I'arlianient of England is moie inclined
to listen to and comply with the protests
of a meeting of Ijoudoiicrs, than is the
Legislature of rennsylvania to respect the
remonstrances of the people in any part of
the State, asking that certain legislation
shall not lie accomplished which the ring
demands. There is no lack of instruction
on facts on this subject. The great mis

The country was somewhat startled
a short time ago by the announcement
that John ('. Fremont had been tried
before a French criminal court for
the work of its hand would prove ac- j swindling or obtaining money under
cept ible to the peoph'. Since, how- j false pretences, and having been con
ever, it has t eased to le annoyed by j victed, was sentenced to imprisonment
the platitudes of these restless and for seven years. (Jon. Fremont had
perturlied agitators, it has gone vigor-' no notice of this proceeding, for the
ously to work to perfect the business j reason that from its commencement to
set before it. The three most impor- j its close he was in this country. Un
tant subjects wbieh have thus far en- j tier a fiction, however, of the law of

to be hoped, that the Convention will j was that, so mo years ago, he, acting
make haste slowly, and that nothing j as President of the Memnhis and El
definite w ill be adopted until after the j I'aso Kail Road Company had sold
most patient and exhaustive debate.
The gieat danger to be apprehended
is, that the Convention in its zeal for
reform may attempt to do too much,
bonds of that Company to the amount
of over four millions of dollars to cer
tain capital;sts and bankers in Paris
that they were worthless, and that he

A very recent decision, however, of the
Supreme Court of the United States
would seem fully to vindicate (Jen.
Fremont against any charge of dishon
esty in the transaction. It apjiears
that in I808 the Legislature of Texas
Crimes always takes the hues and
aspect of the country in which thcy
are committed. They show not only
guilty men, but a guilty people. The
world holds those nations to be de
based where crime abounds. It does
not merely say that the laws are de
fective and the judges corrupt, but
charges the guilt home to the whole
society. This is just, for most of the
crimes which disgrace us could not be !
committed if there were not an indif
ference to their causes on the part of
the community. As certain plagues
which sweep men into their graves
cannot rage without foul air, so man'
crimes cannot prevail without wide
spread moral malaria. It is the greed
for gold, the love of luxury in the
American people, which have caused
the legislative frauds, the municipal
corruptions, and the violations of trust
which excite alarm in our land. It is
the admiration of wealth, no matter
how gained, which incites and embold
ens the desperate speculator in com
mercial centres to sport with the sacml
interests of labor, lo unsettle the busi
ness of honest industry by playing
tricks with the standards of value.
Those who use the stocks of great cor
porations as machines for gambling
schemes are more deliberately and art
fully dishonest than the more humble
swindler who throws his loaded dice.
Many of the transactions of our capi
talists are more hurtful to the welfare
of our jeople than the acts of the
thieves and robbers. In the better
days of American simplicity, honesty
and patriotism, these things could not
have been done. No one would then
dare to face a people indignant at such
j rapacious greed. Such influences have
j led to frauds, defalcations, breaches of
trust. They have filled our prisons
and overwhelmned many households
with shame and sorrow. Yet the au-

nisrovEKEO in the haymow.
Mr. Alfied Caldwell had occasion to as
cend the holder leading to the haymow, in
...cl.- 4.-t .Lt.i.iif toiuA Iiaio imwtu 1 i t rw 1 I
j there, and noticing that the hay had been j wive his expenditure for traveling ex-
j tossed bout, suspected thai there was
I something wrong. Procuring his hay fork,
1 he probed the hav, and was suddenly start-
let! to see it move, and immediately called
on his brother to come up. Just as he did
so, Brieeland emerged from the hay, and
facing his discoverers, smiled grimly.
When they had recovered from their sur
prise one of the brothers, who knew him
well, said, "What shall we do with you?"
Brieeland replied in an imploring tone,
"Hadn't you better let mc go?" They
told him that they could not do that, as it
would be aiding and abetting his escape,
and that the only thing they could do as
good citizens would lie to take him to Col
lier Station, w hich was but half a mile dis

At Portland, Maine, on Saturday last,
John Warren, aged fifty-six, killed Michael

wife of his own ; it was about a third wo
man that these old fellows quarreled.
A most remarkable escape from death
by lightning occurred near Meadville late
ly. A Mr. Cyrus Coulter was watering
his horse from a bucket, when the light-
lenses to and from his home, and $1-2.) j ning passed down between him and the
lor newspapers and stationery. In
point of fact, therefore, the law gives
each member his actual mileage, or
cost of travel, in addition to increased
pay.
He is tiik Man. Gen. Garfield has pub
lished a long letter in reply to the resolu
tion of a recent Republican Convention at
Warren, Ohio, calling uton him t resign
from Congress because he had voted for
the retroactive salary bill. "If," he ex
claims, in concluding his letter, "the dele
gates believe the retroactive salary clause
is so infamous that I ought to resign for
votincr for the aiiroiriation bill to which
county officers, some of whom were there ! it was attached, will they follow out their
at that time. Brieeland begged them not j logic and insist that the President ought to
to do that, but to take him to Washington I resign for signing it? My vote did not
themselves, and promised to go without . make it a law. I lis signature did."
1 lus is all perfectly true, and it is not the
whole truth. The President not 01.lv

farmers assented, and after giving him his

THE PKISONEK UKTUKN ED TO JAIL.
The Caldwell brothers seemed to do as
they did more as a duty for which they
were held resionsible than from any strong
desire to have the prisoner recaptured.
They did not tie him or take any particu
lar precautions to prevent his escape from
them, and it is said that if Brieeland had
still cherished any very strong desire for
getting away from them, he could have
done so without much difficulty. When
the three arrived at the jail, the first per
son they met was the Sheriffs wife, who
hastened to convey to her husband the to
him good news. When the Sheriff en
tered the room, Brieeland smiled as though
he was glad to see him, and walking up to
him, extended his hand, which was heart
ily shaken by the latter. A new suit of
clothes was given him to put on, and after
he had eaten breakfast he was put into a
secure part of the jail, and has been kept
in close confinement since. There appear
ed to be a strong feeling of sympathy felt
for Brieeland in the neighborhood of Wash

that he was opiosed to such an act of plun

A dispatch from Portland, Oregon,
say that fourteen hundred Indian warriors
arc camped at White Bluff, Yakuna river,
above Walia-Walla, putting up breast
works. The settlers are greatly alarmed.
Indians are traveling about painted, and
warn the w hites to leave the country. The
Spokane Indians are threatening aud also
warning the settlers to leave. Massacres,
like those by the Modocs, are feared.
The fact that a New York murderer,
npon being arraigned fer trial, has actu
ally pleaded guilty, my be regarded as one
of the extraordinary events of the time.
Robert P. Bleckley, who killed his niece,
"Maud" Merrill, upon being called for
trial, told the Court that he wanted to
plead guilty of murder in the first degree ;
that he had killed his niece, was not in
sane, and was willing to suffer the conse
quences. From Madison county, Illinois, comes
the report that a negro named George
Bttrk, living on the farm of Henry Nair,
about three miles west,of C'ollinsvilfe, went
home drunk on Saturday night and with an
axe chopped off the head and one arm of
Maria Bowman, also colored, and threw
her body into a ravine. The woman was
living in Bulk's family, and jealousy is
said to have prompted the deed. At last
accounts Burk had not been arrested.
