THE CONSmTTIO.ML COXYOTIOS. The Constitutional Convention should t rljotirn and go home as soon as possible. It has lust the prestige that was manu-factr.rt-d fr it by its lofty pretensions, its fifteen hundred dollar grab lias put it hi bad odor with the people, and proven to them that it is not the lion it pretended to be, bnt that it is that other creature, with only a lion's skin drawn over it. The people do n. member the lofty dig- i.itv the convent!.,:, assumed, and they are j P9 " ana c,ean eal na moiu humiliated now at the common grabbing wi,u chi iudicale lhat 1ule propenMty that it has manifested. It is eM nf purpose that has won him such with regret that they realize that the i notoriety. His complexion is dark, and pu.ity that it pretended to have when it Lia fce haa p'mt look. Take him refueed to hold its cessions at Ilarrisbnrg j ' " iu aI1 Le " 8,rikinS ma- u fceau of the corrupt influence tl,at j him among thousands, and he would he wm.H b; brought to bear on it. was all a ken for a chief hY MJ Serving stran- rbara. How untotuiislicated we all were to believe that these gentlemen really did fi ar Harri-biirg influence, and that they earnestly desired to maintain the dignify of the Commonwealth. How we believed them as honest when they denounced the Legislature for having an "itching palm few gold." But it is all over now ; our veaes-atyan is gone ; the illusion has vanished . We realize that it is not gold that we looked on and admired, but it is the commonest of "fire gilt stuff." The convention is m.lde np principally of gen tlemen who have preached reform and retrenchment in all things that relate to public aff.iirs, and have been loud in their denunciation of the lcgicl.itors who en deavored to make money out of their j place by lending themselves to the fur- j therauce of corporation schemes, private j enterp: ists, special legislation, Sec, all f( which are injnrious to the Common weal, and which the convention was called to remedy through stringent con stitutional provisions. It rait'.ers little what thi.se gentlemen may preach ; they practically accepted and indulged in the very faults and shortcomings that they condemned in legislators aiid public men. They have fq4.mdend time, and endea vored to make money cut of their place the corrupt legislator does no more aud if they had jurisdiction to legis late for corporations or Like a hand at special legislation, there is no telling what they would do. It is not unreason able, however, to believe that they would totally eclipse the work of the Legisla ture in the grabbing business. loubtless these gentlemen were ex ercised over " Credit Mobilicr." Doubt less their pliable integrity was seriously offi-nded when the members of the Leg islature were incautious enough to breathe aloud the desire that their salary should be raised from one thousand dollars to fifteen hundrtd dollars ; and how they worried over the increased salary and back pay of Congressmen. But how at the first chance, when the Legislature ap propriated S500 ,000 to defray tbe ex penses of the convention, they enme to the front with a covetous smile, grab the fund, aud hold it until they have in creased their salary from one thousand dollars to twenty-five hundred dollars, is tiemonstrated to a conclusion. Fiicnds of this pretentious, but really "fire gilt" convention are foolish enough to set up the plea of much work and loss of time. The work that the people ex pected of the convention was not a work of great magnitude. A few changes in the fundamental law were earnestly de aired, and they were of such a character that honest, intelligent, and teamed men, used to work, could perform without much labor, and at the expeuse of little time. The reforms needed and demand ed were apparent, and requ'red little else than simply a reduction to regular pro visions or articles for incorporation in the Constitution. The minority members, who were mor ally and intellectually strong enough to stand firmly for the honor and integrity of tbe Commonwealth, are worthy of the Lighcst respect, and they . could do no tuore popular act than to bring the con vention to an adjournment The government organ of Mexico, tbe Yoz 1'ullirs, is severe in its denuncia tions of the Mackenzie expedition against the Kickapoos ou Vviean soil, and de mands immediate reparation or war. It may be that the comity of nations was violated by the late attack on the pillag ing Texan Indians, while they sought the usual refuge with their plunder Mexico a country very tender of her national honor save when her grasping sons rob the berds of American citizens and swim their booty across the conveni ent Iii Grande, and safely landed on Mexican soil, defy their pillaged victims to even attempt to recover their property which the thieves need not even concal from view on the privileged shores of sensitive Mexico. Philadelphia -Injut-rer. ! Interview wlta Captain Jack an Otters. - i wines irora me joutau cuuuirj iuiuci ! date of the 4th inst. He "ay of Cap tain Jack and others. I had an interview wilL Captain Jack, through the medium of aa interpreter. At first he was reticent. In fact, he did not even notice me Finally hia sister the Princess Mary, prevailed upon hiui to talk. Ilia first remark was in relation to Lie ehackli i. He said it made him feel mean to be hobbled like ahorse. He wai not afraid to die, and had no idea -f running away. As he spoke hi eyes snapped, and he looked a very lion in rage. All questions pertaining to his fighting he decliued to answer. When I asked him his age he gave me to under stand that he was 36, and then he volun tarily started upon a statement of bis Grievances and those of his people. With reference to the Ben. Wright affray he said that the white men murdered his people years ago, and that what he had done was only in payment of old debts. He did not enter into details, but left the interpreter. 'Scarfaced Charley, to patch up the story. A critical study of Jack's face corroborates the impression derived at first sight- He is a thorough Indian His head is large, quite square, and sets firmly on his shoulders His eyes are black and bright and his face broad with proiniueut cheek bones. His nose is symuietiical and slightly aquiline. His ger x l,ose wuo nave eeen mm 00 "ol wonder lhat he is the leader of the Mod ocs. Thnitgh in chains and on the brink of eternity, he is yet feared and respec ted by the Indians about him. His nearest companions in arms, Schonchin is about 50 years of age, is wrinkled, and has the villain depicted in every line of his face. He wears his hair short, and e tands about five feet in his mocca sins. Boston Charley is about 25 years old ; his face is expressionless. Jack would attempt to escape if he haJ a chance, even at the risk of being shot down. Probably he never realized that his death was inevitable until the irons were placed ou his feet. Scarfaced' Charley Says Jack j told him he could get clear when the white men were as leep. This was before the irons were brought into use. General Davis is satisfied that Jack did try to escape last night, and through the aid of confederates on the outside for upon examination of Lis ankles this morning it was found that one of tbe rivets had been filed nearly in two. His legs ouly are confined. At four o'clock this afternoon, the Captives Number 123.

The follow ing despatch was sent to-day from Salem Oregon, to the Secretary of War at Washington : In reganl to the outlaws now in the custody of the United States military authorities, I must respec' fully request that those now standing indicted in tbe Circuit Court of Jackson county, Oregon for the crime of murder, and who are not amenable to military execution, be deliv ered to the civil authorities of this State for trial and punishment. If they have a legal defence, based either upon an am nesty or a denial of guilt, let the defence be pleaded before the proper tribunal. L I Grover, Governor of Oregon. Washington, June 5. The Secre tary of .the Interior and General Sherman bad a consultation to-day on the Modoc question. This was the first personal consideration of the subject by officers of the Government, and preliminary steps were taken to determine the point at issue, namely. What shall be done with the Modoe prisoners t First. It seems to be the understand ing that the Secretary of tbe Interior has no power of discretion iu the premises, or, at least, he will take no present action the Indians having violated their treaty obligation by resorting to hostilities and thus placed themselves beyond the care and supervision of the department. Second. Tbe United States troops haviug conducted operations against them, their custody belongs to the mili tary tbe same as prisoners of war, cap tured or surrendered, or other persons taken in arms agaiust the authority of tho United States and guilty of atrocious acts. Third. These premises being settled, the question as to what shall be done with the Modoc prisoner -whether they shall be tried by military commission or remitted to the civil court will be sub mitted to the Attorney General by the military authorities for hie opinion which will govern the law in the case, and in this course the President, Secretary of the luterior, and General Sherman .are in accord.

Boss : Headquarters Oregon Volunteers, Lost River Springs, June 4, Via Ashland. June 5. Governor Grover : The Modoc war was ended by the Oregon volunteers at 12 o'clock last night, after a hard march of three days and nights by the forces under my command.

The notorious Black Jim is one of the number. 1 will march with my command to Liukville to-day, and place the warriors iu irons, to await your Excellency's order John E Ross, Brigadier General Commanding. The Governor replied as follows : If you have any of the Lost River murder ers standing indicted in the Circuit Court of Jackson county deliver them to the authority of the sheriff of said county. Deliver all other captives to the com manding officer of the United States for ces in the lava basin. Return the volun teers and muster them out. Washington D. C , June 8. Tbe President and Secretary of Var have already been informed of the opinion of Attorney General Williams that such of the Modocs as are charged with offences against the recognized laws of war, may be tried and puuished by military com mission. The War Department will in accordance with this opinion, send in structions to General Davis through Gen eral Schofield. A Mexican Journal on General McKenile's Raid. Matamoras, Juuo 7. Vera Publica, the government organ, in an oditorial headed "Invasion," severely criticises General McKenzie's expedition iuto Mex ico in pursuit of the Kickapoo Indians, denouncing the act as an aggression com mitted upon a nation that is too weak to resist, and intended to serve as a pretext to seize additional territory. Tbe Gov ernment of Mexico is urged to exact im mediate reparation for this violation of her sovereignty and concludes by saying that if this is not complied with it will be found that the Mexico of to-day is not tbe Mexico of 1846. It is supposed that this article reflects the sentiments of the government received from the city of Mexico by telegraph, and is put forward to test the feelings of the people of the frontier Mexican States.

SEWS DESPATCHES A despatch from Baltimore Md. under date of the 4th aayt : Two terrible deaths from hydrophobia, one particularly dis tressing, occurred in the vicinity of Bal timore tinea yesterday morning. About four weeks ago, on tbe farm of . Mr. Friebe. about three miles from tbe city, his son, Charles Friebe, returned from Europe, a graduate of the Uuiversity of Heidelberg, assisted by Anton Aver and another German, gardeners, while remov ing a dog from one side of the garden to the other, were bitten by the dog, Aver very slightly on the left finger. On Sunday morning last Aver was seized with all the symptoms of hydro phobia, and died at six o'clock yesterday morning. On Tuesday, about noon, yonng Friebe went to see Aver, taking with him the family physician, and be came greatly alarmed when he saw Aver puffer in? from hydrophobia. He went CJ . home, took to his bed and was soon after ward seized with violent convulsions Hydrophobia in its worst form manifes ted itself, and he died at one o'clock to day. The other German who was bitten started for Pennsylvania on Mondoy to consult a female doctress who claims to hare a specific for hydrophobia, and haa not since been heard from. The dog. which was chained in Friebe's garden, died a day or two after biting the parties who had no suspicion' that the animal was mad. Mr. Friebe, the father, sailed for Europe a few weeks since. A St. Louis despatch of the 4th says : Joseph II Foxe, who shot and killed Munson Deach, his brother in-law, in August, tried and acquitted in 1871 on the ground of emotional insanity, return ed here from Natchez on Monday last, and this afternoon made a murderous as sault upon his wife. He accosted her on the street, urging her to' live with him again, which she refused to do until he would stop drinking. After following her some distance he again approached her, and asked her to shake hands with him as a final farewell. She extended her hand, when he seized it, drew her towarJ him, pulled a hatchet from underneath his clothing, and dealt her three heavy blows on the head. She Lll senseless on the pavement. The murderer ran but was captured. A surgical examiuation revealed three severe gashes on Mrs. Fox's head, one of which would doubtless have proved fatal but for the thick mass of hair she wore. She lies iu a critical condition, but may recover. A despatch from Richmond Va , nnder date of the 4th says : Jim Brown, the alleged marderer of the two old ladies, Mrs. Jones and Sire. Dosicr near Suffolk was captured laftuigLt and jailed to-day. He confessed that ho beat his victims to death with a billet wood and then robbed the house. He informed the sheriff where the stolen money was con cealed. The fueling agaiust him is iu tense, and it is more than piobable he will be lynched. Horace Venable, the neg.o, who mur dured Mary Holmes two weeks eiuce by knocking her in the canal, was convic ted of murder in the first degree. On Saturday the 31st nit. Patrick McNamara, a boss in a stone quarry near Bonnville, Missouri, discharged three men, named Tom Graney, Joe Mason, and Pat Murphy. These men were im mediately hired by another boss, named O'Nell, which fact was reported by Mc Namara to the chief engineer of the works, and O'Nell . and the three men were dismissed. On Saturday evening O'Neil aud the discharged men assaulted McNamara aud beat him badly. In the melee McNamara shot and instantly kill ed Graney, and mortally wounded Ma son.

An attempt was made, by persons un known, to throw the Providence mail train from the track of the Shore Line Railroad, near Westerly, R. L, at 11 P. M. on the 4th, by placing obstructions on the track. They were discovered and removed in time to avoid a disas ter. A New Orleans Times (Austin) des patch says the Legislature adjourned on the 4th. The House being four-fifths Democratic, and a Conservative majority in the Senate, all the purely Republican measures of the last Legislature have been repealed, notwithstanding the ener getic vetoes of the Governor. The Leg islature positively refused to ratify the aet of the last Legislature, giving a sub sidy of $10,000 per mile on 600 miles of the International 'Railroad. A San Francisco Ca., despatch un der date of the 6th say44 Advices from Arizona this afternoon state that the In dian agent at San Carlos, Major Larabee had some difficulty with the Apaches Tbey undertook to kill him with spears. He ran to Lieut. Almy's tent, and the latter with six soldiers went to the agen cy with him. They went into Larabee's tent Larabee and Almy came out of the tent, Larabee in advance, when the Apaches fired on them. Almy received three bullets passing through his "body He fell dead without a groan. Larabee was untouched and retired into the tent. The Apaches fled across the river. It is probable wmy of them have taken to the mountains. A messenger of Gov ernor Safford, who left the reservation half an hour after the occurrence, says a majority of the Indians were there when he left. Eske Voazin, a noted chief, had become i angry with the agent Several days previous and had left San Carlos with a large baud some time before the murder. The Indians fired about forty shots at Larabee and Almy. It was generally thought for some time an out break was inevitable. Almy was born in Massachusetts, and was promoted to be first Lieutenant of the 5th Cavalry in April, 1860. A Washington D. C. despatch of the 6th says : . An enterprising individual writes to the Government from Tiffin, Ohio, off-riug to pay $60,000 for the privilege of exhibiting Captain Jack throughout the country during the period of sixty days. The showman promises to keep Jack securely, treat him well, and return him to the Government at the expiration of sixty days, provided he does not commit suicide, in which case the proposition is to pay ouly $1,000 per day for the time he remains iu the showman's hands alive. It is proposed to pay 330,000 upon the delivery of Jack at Chicago, and the balance at the close of the two months. SHORT ITEMS. Brigham Young has a son at West Poiut.

This gentlemtn, who is described as having 'a finely strung poetic sentiment,' being unfortunate iu some literary ventures, and in a certain nff"ire de eoemr, determined to destroy himself. He had already made dnring his short life four unsuccessful attempts Resolv ing to succeed at last, he provided him self with a revolvor, a rope, a stake, a bottle of poison, and a box of lucifer matches, and proceeded to a cliff which oveihung the sea. He there drove the stake into the ground, fastened one end of the rope to it, deliberately adjusted the other end round his neck, took the revolver into his hand, set fire to his clothes, swallowed the poir-on, and, swinging himself gently off he was sensitive to pain pulled the triggrr.
