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

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

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

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

would attempt to escape if he haJ a

his death was inevitable until the irons
were placed ou his feet. Scarfaced'

brought into use.

with the Incidental History of the State,
rrom 1609 to 1872.
BY WM. C. ARMOR.
Ilandtomety Iflustratrd. Durably ami
Finely Bound.
The want of a record of the lives of
our Governors has long been felt. Such
a book has beeu in preparation for np
wards of six years, by Major W. C,
Armor, of the Executive Department of
the State.
The work is now completed, and ready
for delivery : Great expense of time, la
bor, and n'oney has produced a book
that will be a welcome guest - in every
house in the Commonwealth.
It contains the lives of all the Govern
ors of the State, from its earliest settle
ment to the present time.
A complete epitome of the history of
the State is an important feature of the
work.
It is divided into five parts. The first
part is taken up with the early settle
ment of the Stat6, and the lives of the
Dutch and Swedish Governors. The
second part included the period of the
Proprietary Government, with memoirs
of the Colonial Governors. The third
part is occupied with the era of the Rev
olution, and illustrates the lives of the
Presidents of Pennsylvania. The fourth
(art contains the biographies of tbe
Governors of the Commonwealth under
the Constitution of 1790, and embraces
the events of tbe War of IS 12 aud the
Buckshot War. The fifth part comprises
the lives of the Governors under the
Constitntion of 1S3S, and outlines the
rise and fall of 'the Rebellion.
The work it embellished with 29 full
page engravings of tbe Governors, from
the time of I'enn, by the best artists.
It contains about 540 pages, iucludiog
the portraits, and forms altogether a work
of rare attraction.

San Fbancisoo, June 4. 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.

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.

President and Secretary of Var have
already been informed of the opinion of
Attorney General Williams that such of

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. McNamara gavJiimself np to the
authorities, and was discharged on the
ground that the homicide was justifia
ble. 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.

The Loudon Globe has the following
story : 'Though it is but a step from the
ridiculous to the snblime, it is surprising
how few can take it, well-directed as their
efforts would seem to be An unhappy
Frenchman has lately made a very cred
itable attempt. 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.
The instrument exploded, but the ball,
only gazing bis ear, cut the rope, and
the baffled snicide was precipitated into
tbe sea. The salt water, combined with
the violent shock, net unnaturally de
stroyed the effects of the poison, and he
was ignomiuiously saved from drowning
by a passing fishing smack He con
cluded that Providence had intended him
for something great, but died three days
after from inflammation of the lungs,
contracted from the exposure to cold and
damp. That this fine poetic character'
should have miscalculated the designs of
Providence is not so surprising, perhaps,
as tho fact that he could not manage in
some way to live for effect when he bad
tried so hard to die for it."
