Captain Jack an J hit Modocs are elUl In
tbeir bale In the lava bods In Orogon, and
a band of United Statei soldiers are watch
ing them. This has been tho slats of affairs
for several months add will probably coo
tinue till Captain 'Jaclc dies. It seems
queer that one or two hundred Indians
abould defy tbe United States army, but as
the army has nothing else to do, II is proba
ab:y as well that part ol them sliould be em
ployed in watching tbe Modoc as at any
other buainess. If tbe ladians could be
taken to llrat class botels and boarded at
public expense tbey could b kept much
cheaper.
There is another speck of war In Asia,
not quite of no threatening a character as
that which hovered lately over the region
of tbe Oxus, but still uol without import
ance. Tho Dutch have for a long time bad
nominal ovi Ignty over the East India is
land of Sumatra, though interfering little
with the local government of tbe chiefs.
In 1870 a treaty was concluded between
EogUud and Holland by wtiloh tbe latter
pledged Itself to protect ilritieb subjects in
Sumatra la the same manner as tbe Dutch.
Complaints have been ma do by tho British
traders of depredatlous by the Malay In
habitants ol the north western patt of the
island, and tbe British Government baa
called on the Ddlcn Government to fulfill
its treaty obligations. Tho Dutch King
notified tbe Sultan of Abeen, who pioiesjts
to rule over the northwestern part of Suma
tra, that tbe outrages must cease, aod find
ing no improvement is preparing to enforce
obedience with tbe sword." Tbe Acheeus
have all the fierceness aod cunning ot tbe
Malays in general, and are larger made
and more vigorous. They will give tbe
Dutch forces trouble, sliould tbey detot
uiinqou actual reeUtaoce.
Coxstitltional. The Supreme Court,
by a partisan majority, b decided that
Local Option is legal. The irregularities
that characterized the law io its passage
the still greater that marked it ia lis ml-
mlstlon to tbe people 1 1 be voted on at ilU
ferent dates and by localities Kingly, Instead
of being voted upon io Ibe same manner as
'or State officers; tbe deprivation ol busi
..em and depreciation of property values to
a large aod worthy clan ol eltizeos without
equlvarnt, is decided to be eminently right
and proper.. Such are the iniiloaciea aod
labyrinths In law, that justice, tight and
common sense are frequently lost .sight of.
And here ia a euse In point. So long as tbe
Judiciary Is eleollve, so long It will be ser-
sltive when any thing is to be gained for
tbe ptrly 'or themselves, .popular clamor
is not vox del only right and truib. From
partisan tyranny based on tbe usurpations
of power' by majorities good Lord deliver
us.

It Is Important lor the pitblio to know
what Is Included In tbe law knowo as "the
repeal of the fraoking privilege."
All mall known as "free matter" tinner
the existing laws, oo which postage must

Cabinet and Bureau officers, chief cletk or
franking officers of each of the Executive
Departments.
3. All letters or printed matter lo ft
from members of CongreM, Secrutary of the

ried at a cost of about $1,230,000, while
tbe estimate made for amounts required to
