strong speech iu the Senate on the Ctli

admit of its publication. We publish a
poitiun of his prefaratory remarks. They
tell the truths in riueiiig tones, that the
history of the past teaches. The Amer

mistakes of the past. Mr. McClure said :

la all the sad catalogue of governments
whose decay and fall are recorded in his

its people. Tliey may have torn down
its pillars in violence or revolution, but
the fountain of disorder and death was
in the corrupt perversiou of political au
thority. No nation has ever f It it and
survived the failure to correct it. JJon

and free gov rnmcnts, have alike dated
there decline from the prostitution f the
sources of power, and our boasted I!e
public, with all its prestige, with all its
trials aud triumphs, is not strong enough
to make its history exceptional.
There are times when the natural sen
sitiveness of the people ou this sit! ject
may be subordinated to what seems to
be higher duties and nobler necessities,
and even passion and prejudice may for
a season paralyze their keen jealousy of
their most sacred prerogatives : but in a
government founded on the enlightened
patriotism of its citizens they must soon
stendy resent the wrong or cease to value
their institutions.
Letter from an Old Jaeksonian Democrat
of Greenwood Township.
Near Seves Stii Tavern, i
March B, li73.
My Dear Mr. Editor: I did think
that ?0U'd &l doWn am0nS t,ieS0
hills
th'3 winter while the sleighing was so
good, and etay a night with me. What
a nice time we could have had over a
couple of glasses of cider and a basket
of apples, talking about Local Option.
A night at the Stars wouldn't compare
with it, I like apples and Mike cider,
b'lt git out with strong liquor. It's a
queer thing, isn't it ? Old Andy Jack
sou thought so. If he lived in this
State now,' he'd put his put his foot iu it,
square, just like he put it into the United
Sutcs Bank.
Isn't it queer J A fellow drinks and he
gets big but he don't weigh mote ; and
then how he stinks. There isn't an
onnce that stays iu hira it all comes oil
in smell. It don't make blood, it dou't
don't make muscle, it dou't make bone.
The only thing it makes of a man, is,
either a crazy man o'r a pauper, whom
his fellow-men must keep. I tell you I
ain't in for anything that fixes men off in
that style.
I aiu't a philosopher ; I never heard of
a Speak that was, and I can go back over
the liue of the Speaks to the time that
they came over with the Normans to
England. That was a long time ago,

Atrd then we have King David, who
stood on the top of his house and saw a
pretty woman, lie fell in love with her
at first sight, though he h id a wife. He
sent her husband into (he fore frout of
the battle, so that he might be killed, that
he might marry the widow.
We read, too, about Noah, who, soon
after the 11 cod planted a vineyard, and
made wine, and got drunk on it. It was
a mighty big drunk, too, for the good
book says he lay hi his tent naked. I
guess that drunk was on the sly, like a
good many now a-days, for his family
didu't know of it till oue of his boys
went into the tent and saw him. Noah
felt bad over it when .he wakeued and
found how drutik he was, at:d that it was
found out. But the worst of all was the
terrible punishment that the Good Man
sent on him just then and there. He did
not punish his body, but he sharpened
his mind, and gave him to understand
that his punishment would fall ou the
seed of the son who had found him drunk.
lie gave him to understand that his chil
dren's childrcu's children would all be
come slaves
1 believe that the sins of these few
Bible people that I have taken a short
look at, cover nearly every kind of sin
we know of or are troubled -with. In
Adam and Eve and Brimstone we have
one side of the woman question, and its
punishment. In Cain and Abel we have
jealousy, avarice, murder, lying and rob
bery, and the punishment directly sent
en the offender and onto his children on
down, who knows, may hi to this very
day and generation.
Iu the conduct of David aud the Cap
taiu's wife we have another side of the
woman question, with the punishment
sent on thejlving and his son' and the
people. And in Noah we have drunken
ness, and the punishment for it extended
through centuries into many generations
That part of the world found in Eu
rope and this country have tl.e woman
question settled on a good foundation
Ou that point it is wiser than the people
of the Eastern couuUies. It has been
wise enough, too, to settle the questions
of false witness or lying, theft, robbery
and murder. But it sticks fast in the
slough of liquor debatlehery, and that is
as bad as any. if I read my good book
with the right understanding, and if my
own eyes and ears don't deceive me. ' It
It is more than as bad as the other crimes,
for it brings all of the others with it. It
breeds harlotry, it breeds lies, it breeds
quarrels, it breeds thefts aud murder, and
it doesn't do a bit of good. And yet we
allow it among us.
1 here are some chaps down here who
are doing oil they can against Local Op
tion. The thing they tell that counts
the most is, that it lakes away a man's
liberty. And this end of the county is
full of fellows who believe it. They are
just about as smart as the people-aiscd to .
be who believed that the l ight of a kins
to do as he pleased was divine, aud that
ihey had no right to say no, because the
king said so. These people dou't see
that this business goes further than the
man Who sells the liquor, and further
than the man who drinks it. They
don't see that it affects everybody. They
don't see that it fills the poor houses, the
jails aud penitentiaries. They dou't see
that it takes millions every year from
the whole people to keep up the build
ings, pay the officers, pay the lawyers
and jurors for trying these debauched
people. They don't sic these things.
They don't see that everybody suffers,
aud that a few only gaiu by it. I don't
see any sunse iu keeping up Euch estab
lishments. I thiuk the bully and the
tyrant might just as well be allowed to
strike down any one he pleased. It
would gratify his passion and increase
his means. It would be gain to him, but
misery to his victims. That's why soci
ety won't allow such people to do as they
please. Why don't they allow a fellow
to marry as many women as he pleases 1
It would be pleasure to all parties con
cerned. They won't allow a man to do
such things. 1 hey take away his lib
erty in them things, and the reason is
that it spoils people and makes them bad.
It degrades and debauches the people.
By taking away the liberty ol the indi
vidual in these particulars the good of
tlic whole people is enlarged. 1 hat is
just the reason liquor ought to be done en given lor tne soiaiew to prepare 10

If Old Hickory were a living now in
this State he'd be heavy for local option
I'd just as soon vote to say it was
right to steal if a man wanted to, or run
away with another man's wife if he
wanted to, or marry eight or ten women ;
if he wanted to, on the pr.uc.ple of lib- j
erty, as vote for to extend or continue i

BARTON SPEAK.
Two sisters who two years aeo were
married at the same place by the same
minister how romantic 1 now apply in
Boston for divorces, on the ground that
both husbands have rno away with other
women. The romance of the weddings
evidently struck deep iu the husbauds. 1
: be removed to some reservation outside
of Oregon, probably Arizona, aud be
provided for by the government. To
this the Indians all agreed, and eight of
Captain Jack's braves accompanied Steele
to Fairchild's ratichc, to coufer with Geu
oral Canby and the commissioners, where
they were oil Sunday evening.
Captain Jackiclaims that his people
are not to blame for . killing settlers, as
the citizens commenced by killing one of
his squaws and children.
The (ruling here is that the murderers
of the settlers should be punished instead
of complete amnesty being granted, as
proposed by the commissioners.
The speech of Captaiu Jack to Mr.
Steel is a reiteration of tho Modoc chiefs
former statements of his views aud wish
es. He deuies that he commenced the
war, or that he desires to continue the
couflict, and says he always lived in
peace, and wanted to do so until the
troops commenced operations rgaiust
him. He declined to go to Canby 's
camp to day.
Steele goes back to the lava beds to
try to induce Captain Jack and Schoueh
cs to come out aud conclude the terms of
the proposed treaty.
San Fkascisco, March 5. A des
patch received from Fairchi!di,via Yrtka
says, Elijah Steel left that place yester
day, with instructions from the Peace
Commissioners, to offer tho Modocs the
following terms as a basis of Peace :
First To surrender as prisoners of
war to General Canby, and to receive
full amuesty for the past.
Second. To be removed to Angel Is
land, aud there to be clothed, fed and
sheltered, as soldiers are, nntil a pertna
nent home in some warmer country may
he found, perhaps Arizona.
Third. To be clothed, fed aud shelter
ed in their new home until such time as
they wi'l be able to maintain themselves,
their women and children ; to receive
transportation to Angel Island, and theu
to their new home.
General Canby is of opinion that he
can promise Captain Jack and some of
his held men permission to visit the
President. The iutervicw with the Iu
'dians in the evening was very unsatis
factory. Schouchts was quite hostile iu
manner. The speech of Captain Jack
was pacific. Sixty-nine warriors were
piesent at the council, over twenty of
whom were strangers to Steele. After
the council Scarfaced Charlie told Steele
to sleep iu his (Charlie's) bed as there
was danger of his safety, and that he
(Charlie ) would rook out for him. Char
lie sat beside him all night. In the
morning Captain Jack was decorated
with a warrior's hat, and Schouches who
was chief speak?V, was quite vicious iu
tone and demeanor.
After he had done Captaiu Jack made
a war speech, and the warrior's hat was
removed from his head. Twenty three
warriors only were present.
Captain Jack, and Schousches claimed
that they were all the warriors they had,
not thinking they had heeu counted the
evening before
They finally proposed that if they
could he left on the lava beds, and the
past forgotten, thcy would make peace.
They wauted Meai-ham nnd Applegntc
te come to them tomorro w to shake hands
and conclude peace. It is quite evident
they intended treachery to these men
They did not want, Commissioners lto.se
borou;rh or Cass to come to the lava beds
but said they could come if they pleased
Scarfaced Charlie wanted to settle mat
ters and get away. He behaved like a
white man.
This is all that the commissioners will
allow Steele to make public at present.
San Francisco, March 6. John Dol
en arrived at Yreka to night from the
front. He reports that Judge Ilosbor
ough and E. Steel had been to Captain
Jack's camp for a long time, and were
unable to make any compromise, the Iu
dians being determined to fight. The
terms offered by the commissioners at
last accounts were that the Modocs should
go on Klamath reservation, where they
had been before.' Rather than do this
the Iudiana bad determined to fight.

This undoubtedly means treachery.

San Fri.-mcucvv March 9 A des
patch from Yreka to-night says that
Boston Charlie's squaw returned to-night
from Captain Jack's camp with news
that Captain Jack and his band will be
ready to leave tli3 lava beds on Monday.
Captain Jack requests that three wagons
be sent on Monday to meet them at Rocky
Point, half way between Fairchilds and
lav a leds. Tents will be put np for
their reception and they will be located
there until their removal to Angle Island.
They could not come ont to day, as one
of the men had died and he must be hur
ried to morrow with military honor.
This action probably closes the Modoc
war.
A Dreadful Murder in Boston.
A dreadful murder is reported from
Boston by dispituh under date of the
7th iust. as follows :
Lewis Wagner, suspected of the dou
ble murder at tho Lie of Shoals, was ar
rested in Boston last night, and commit
ted to await a requisition by the authori
ties of Mu'nc, within whose jurisdiction
the murder was committed. The murder
which was most brutal in its details, was
discovered at an early hour ou Thursday
morning by the members of Mr Huntres
family, at whose residence the outrage
was committed. Wagner, who was a
former employee of Mr. Huntress, arriv
ed in his boat fiotn Star I.-land at nu ear
ly hour on the evening of the murder and
his mission there, to all appearances was
the perpetration of the crime he subse
quently committed.
His sneaking mauuer on arriving at
the house was such as to give rise to a
suspicion on the part of Mrs. Huntress
that he was intent on some object which
boded no good. He passed the front of
the house and went to the rear, and soou
after entered the houc. After a short
conversatiou he asked Cornelia Bhristen
son to come into the entry with him as
he had something very important to com
municate. Tim woman, who uspected
something wrong, iuvolun'arily started
to acquiesce iu Wagner's request.
Trembling with fear she approached

the floor, her agoliy being such as to
soou occasion hmd cries of distress. .Sin
was atked by Wagner, where the money
was that was kept in the hoiue, being at
the same tiuu warned, that if she did
not tell be would kill her at once.
She COIItiuiied to groan, seeming" to
pay but liltlo atteutiou to what thu brute
was saying. All at once Wagner seem
ed to have become possessed of the spirit
of a demon, and heaped Hows with an
axe thick aud fast upon the head and
body of the unfortunate woman. Miss
Lawson's head was literally crushed to a
jelly. Meiuwiiilj Mrs. ilu'itres, wh had
leceived a sevore blow from the murder- j
er whith a chair, was hidden among rocks
on the island, remvuing iu her secure
position until between eight aud nine
o'clock on Thursday morning. She then
ventured out and crossed the Bea wall to
Malaga island, and by her cries succeed
ed in making herself heard by a man
who had a house on Applcdore inland.
lie went to her aSi-Htance, and found
her suffering from a blow on the shoul
der, and her feet and parts of her body
badly frozen, she having remained in the
severe cold all those hours with nothing
on but her chimise aud fl tuuel uight j
dress.

A despatch from Baltimore under date
of the 7th iust says : A frightful scene
occurred about nine o'clock this morning
at No 22 N. Eutaw street, caused by
the careless use of coal cil. A colored,
woman, employed at the boarding house
of Mrs. Duval, poared coal oil in the
stove to have the fire burn more briekly,
and in an instant the oil can exploded,
and the unfortunate woman was envelop
ed in flames. She rushed from the house
into thu street, literally a piller of fire,
the flames mounting far above her head,
aud her screams were heard several
squares. In a short time several hundred
persons were attracted to the spot Sev
eral gentlemen stripped off their coats
