A queer story, purports to come from Oen.
Davis, the captor of the Modocs, to the ef

Captain Jack and his fellow outlaws last
Friday week without the shadow of what
he :calls " the farce of a' trial," when his
plan was frustrated by the arrival of a
courier with orders from Washington to
hold the prisoners until further notice. The
yarn comes from a special correspondent of
a San Francisco journal, and we suspect it
was evolved from the depth of his own con
sciousness, like the German metaphysician's

" The New York Ilrortil gives credence to
the announcement that ..il.affordshire, Eng
land, is importing iron from the United
States, and undertakes to build upon the
fact an' argument for free-trade. This is
simply puerile. How could our,irou-ntas
ters have attained to such excellence and
cheapness of manufacture as to be able to
compete with England in her own market
without the piotection of a tariff which has
fostered that great branch of national in
dustry? For s4rtie reason it seems that
American protection and English , free-trade
hive enabled AUierica to underfelt England
after paying the cost of transportation. In
other words, the American doctrine has
made iron cheap, While English practice
has made iron dear. If this is an argument
for free-trade, as the World says it is,-, then
it is one that ordinary mortals cannot art:
predate. Even John Stuart Mill, the great
apostle of free-trade, was forced to admit
that protection might be advantageous to a
country in the situation of our own.
Stokes's confidence that a new trial would
be granted him has been 'justified by the
event. The Court of Appealsof New York,
last Tuesday, granted a new trial, the Judges
being unanimous in the opinion that errors
had been committed in excluding evidence
for the prisoner and in the charge 10 the
jury. The Court hold that it was erroneous
to exclude evidence of threats to kill Stokes --
made by Fisk, although such '‘s rrr
ltlkilown to the prisfn4. ' It is adjudged
that this testimony was competent as hear
ing upon the question whether Fisk actually
made the attempt. The appellate Court
further think the charge to the jury left the
impression that the law required them to
infer that the killing was murder in the first
degree in the absence of proof that it was
justifiable or excusable homicide--in other
'words, that the burden of proof lay with the
prisoner, when the burden of proof lay with
the State. It is probable that if these er
rots bad not been made the trial would hite
resulted just as it did; and is not certain
that a new trial will end with the prisoner's
acquittal, though that seems to be the 'gen
eral opinion. The case will probably not'
reach another trial in some months, and in
the mean time the prisoner hopes to be set
at large on hail—a hope in which lie should
he disappointed. •
William Bingham Clymer
The death, recently, at Florence, Italy, of
this gentleman demands special notice. For
twenty-five years a resident of Wellsboro,
the manager of the largest landed estate in
Northern Pennsylvania, lie was mosi, favor
ably known to a large class of our citizens,
all of whom will learn of his death with pro
found sorrow.
Mr: Clymer was a native of Pennsylvania;
sorqof Henry Clymer, and grandson of Geo.
Clymer, one of the signers of the Declara
tion of Independence, and one of the most
active and promMent patriots of the Revo
lution. Ills mother was a daughter of Thos.
Wining, a prominent merchant of Phila
delphia, and a member of the first Congress.
One of her sisters was•the wife of William
DlTfigliatp, - mutat Oiltra - Ne
nator from Penn
zylvania, and the owner 4 the large landed
'estate which stilld bears his name.
Mr__Clymer received a liberal education
and graduated with credit at Princeton Col
lege. His studies were pursued NV itlya view
to entering the legal profession, but he did
not seek adMission to the J ßar. In 1852 he
' married Miss Mary Hiester Clymer, of Read
ing, of a family remotely related to his own.
Mrs. Clymer and four children survive him.
When quite young he assumed the man
agement _of the lands which formed the
bulk of the family property. His•success
in this and in the transaction of other busi
ness of like character commended him to
the favorable consideration of the Trustees
of the Bingham Estate. In 1842, upon the
death of Dr. Robert H. Rose, he was ap
pointed the general agent of the 'Estate' in
the northern counties of Pensylvania. In
the discharge of the duties of his position
he came to Towanda in 1844, and in 1845
established the general office of the Estate.
in Wellsboro.
The anti-rent difficulties in New York
created an uneasy feeling among the settlers
on lands of the ,Bingham *Estate in Penn
sylvania. This feeling was intensified by
the action of a few unscrupulous men who
strove to persuade the settlers that the title
to, thc-lands which they occupied was im
perfect, and that by resisting the claims of
thb Trustees they would eventually secure
their lands from tl L ie State- at small cost.—
But the disaffection did not prevail among
the settlers generally; the judicious and pru
dent management of Mr. Clymer very stork
put an end to all complaint, and the people
entered earnest upon the task of paying
for their lands. In this they had great help
from the liberal policy pursued by My. Cly
mer. lie made new agreements with them
upon easy terms of payMent, and for Seve
' ral years accep6l in payment for land the
pr i odnets of their farms, at a time when no
cash market for such products existed here.
This wise policy enabled many persons to
pay for the farms which they occupied who
would barefound it difficult to do so had
I,3yment in:money been rigidly required.
to the Management of the large buSint4:s
intrusted td his charge Mr. Clymer ever
catefully considered the rights and interests
1,1 all; the unlimited discretion accorded to
Mtn by the Trustees was never used to the
plejudice of any man. Strictly upright in
all his dealings, without a trace of merce
nary motive,'he discharged his duties with
fidelity-10 the Trustees and with kind con
sideration for the situation and circumstances
oh the settlers on lands of the Estate. That
lie succeeded in the highest sense in the
taismess committed tp hisTlire, is witnessed
by the fact that het enjoyed the unlimited
confidence lot the Trustees and owners of
the estate, And that of the large number of
persons with whom he was called to do busi
ness (eery one would bear willing testimony
to his courtesy, kindness, arid perfect integ
rity. Hyndreds of those • who have for
years had business r&tions with Mr. Cly
mer will sincerely mourn his death with the
sorrow which follows the loss • of. a near
friend. •
In 1867 he was appointed a Trustee of the
Bingham Estate. In 1860, having deter
mined to visit-Europe with his family-, he
resigned his agency, but continued to be
Trustee until the time of his death.
Of - his private character and life it is
scarcely permitted to make mention s nor is
it needful in this community, who knew
him so well. During his life he ever shrank
from notoriety, - and would earnestly have
deprecated any eulogium after death. But
the lesson of such a life as his should not
be wholly lost upon those who survive him,
and brief reference may be pardoned to the
distiinctve• traits of a character' which all
must admire, and which none need fear to
imitate. - •

WAsumaToN, June 10, 1873
The weather has for several days, with
the exceptipn of one day, been delightfully
warm—not too hot.. Vegetables of allkinds
are in abundance in our markets, selling at
reasonable prices. Farmers , around are
troubled in obtaining h elp, find are offering
good wages to those out of employ in the
city, but generally without avail, as there
seems to be little inclination of the colored
people to leave the city and go into the
country where theywould'be compelled to
work from delve to fourteen hours per
day.
;rite report of the massacre of the Indi
ans by the Oregon volunteers lately is vari
ously commented on ,here, the majority,
however, being much disgusted with the
course pursued b i y those white desperadoes,
and , feeling that it was setting a very bad
example before the Indians, which perhaps
will encourage iugeneral uprising of the In
dians everywhery in warfare against the
whites. •
Last Friday, a few minutes. after twelve
o'clock, - Tom Wright, • the fifth one Within
the past two and a half years, was hanged
for murder. The. trial, conviction, thelmove
for a new trial, and the arguments fok• •and
against a new trial in the case of each one
of them, have been looked upon with inter'.
est. When all is done that can be done for
the prisoner in such cases by his counsel
and friends, and without avail, and the sen
tence is pronounced, there still remains a
glimmer of .hope; first a pardon by
.the
President, and. if that fails, a commutation
of the sentence to imprisonment for life,
with the hope in the latter' ease; after the
crime has almost been forgotten, that thro'
influence upon a future President a pardon
may be,obtained. Of the•five executed not
one confessed his guilt upon t 4.,
The first one, excentra for outraging an old
lady ?O years of age, which resulted , fn her
death, declared to the 'last 'that, •he renient

drew: "That. he was not a murderer at
heart, for Ite AR not. tententher committing.
the deed; that he was stultified With liquor,
if lie did do it."
The last one, Tom Wright, before then-
chilled as having staeted death last Pt kitty,
was indeed an enigma. Your readers have
been informed of the circumstances, of the
M===E=
purely circumstantial evidence, but was of
such a - convincing character that the jury
hefore whom he was tried was 'only',a few
minutes in concluding upon a verdict of
guilty. He declared hia innocence, or rath
er denied the killing, from the first to the
:Ist, and Nvlt4l the . fatal noose was,Leing

turned to one' of the guards standing beside
him and said, " t•dii not kill the peddler,"
and when the black cap was being•pluced
on his head lie was heard to mnttei,. "God
save me."
There are several more in gall, awaiting
the isittiug of the Crimiiial,Court ired,urre,
to be tried for murder: So numerous have'
been the murders committed that the!peo
ple have become fully aroused to the neces
sity of speedy trial, and, if convicted ; a
sure and speedy exeention. is , it no t a
strange coincident tluit out of five consecu
tive executions not one confessed, guilt of
the crime for. which he sutlered death?—
Three and perhaps four out of the fire could
with safety charge the commission of their
crimes to intemperance.
It is better late - than never to reforin tit
present civil service system. It is no pro
poSed by Secretary Richardson that the of
fices shall, as far as practicable, be divided
among the different States. What shall be
done' with hundreds from the Distrigt of
Columbia and. from Maryland who hur4f ob
tained' clerkships witldn'the past We years?
The Secretary of the Treasury has called
in sixteen millions of coupon and four mill
ions of registered bonds, the interest on
which will cease in September. The opera :
tious of the European Syndicate appear, 1,9`
be much more satisfactory,3nd the RoSpett
of closing out their little invoice of ()tree
hundred million six per cents and convert
ing them into fives is quite promising. This
will feduce our interest Account three
ions per annum. Thus our financial;obli
gations are becoming less burdensome each '
month. The Treasury.durirtg May reduced
the national debt three and a half Millions
in spite of heavy extra disbursements or
dered by the late CongresS, which all came
in May.
' It appears that the law of Congress di
recting a re-issue of national bank notes is
destined to fail of execution from a'singular
conjuncture of circumstances growing eut
of the crude legislation of the late Coogr6s:
Only $600,000 were appropriated for ,this
work, but the total expense will not be short
of $9,000,000, Willett the banks refuse. to
pay. During the progress of the bill thro'•
Congress-the bankmen and the bank .note
engravers worked very gingerly among the
committees and in .the lebby,"and it is said,
by astute management and manipulation ;of,
eat dead-leek " with malice aforethought,"
How true Ibis may be it is hard for outsiders
to ascertain. The popular mind, however,
is ever ready to ascribe to the Congressional
lobby a maximum of craft and a minimum
of scruple.] Unfortunately, a more thorough )
acquaintance only verities these views. •
The President, under a recent law . of Con
gress, has abolished several Indian Superin
tendencies, and has substituted for them" a
new class of officers named Inspectors,
whose duties will not be so much of an ad
ministrative as of a detective character. -It
this feature of reform could be honestly and
faithfully carried out, it would be an in].
menso improveinent to the service. The
Indian service has ever been the cloak of
grossest frauds of which the Govern::
sent has had but little, opportunity of being
informed. If this service had been placed
-in the
, :hands of, men of the right stainp i
millions of dollars and thousands of lives
would not have been waked in our 'mill
wars. • • -

The Attorney General has solVed the pro r li - -
lem of defiling with the Modocs in his usual
sensible way. In stating the facts he shoWs

sociates hold that if dead bodies were worth
so much, living ones were worth more, and
so they demand salvage On lives saved.—
This is asking pecuniary remuneration for

been subscribed for the Prospect people in
both England and the United States, while
the Dominion Parliament has voted a large

The Albany Broiling Journal touches a
tender chord in the following paragraph:—
" There has been little opportunity to make
a record ou the subject since the passage of
the salary-grab; but so far as there has been
any opportunity at all, both parties have
used it in a characteristic manner. In Ohio
both have spoken on it. The - Republicans
held a State Convention, selected as Presi
dent a member .of Congress who had voted
against the grab, and refused to take his
share; and then passed the most emphatic
resolutions denouncing the steal. .The Dem
ocrats have taken no general action; -but in
Cincinnati they had to nominate a City So
licitor, and they selected as their candidate
Mr. Dodds, who as a member - ' - of Congress
steadily voted for the grab and promptly
gobbled his extra five thousand. The high
moral principle doesn't seem to' be very
strong with. that particular porti6n of the

A Senatorial Scandal and Romance.
There is a new and not particularly fra
grant scandal linked with the United States
senate. This time it is not a :charge of
bribery.nor of any political crime. The of
fense is • a social_ one,.. and the story of it
quite ft romance. Some twenty or thirty

county, this' State, an intelligent and indus
trious young man, John Hippie, whq com
bined the professions of school teacher and
lawyer, and who met with much success in
their practim. Growing• prosperous he
abandoned school teaching, which is not as
sociated with prosperity, and becoming a
junior partner of the Hon.. John Thompson,
devoted himself - entirely to the law. . In the
same village there lived a young and- pretty
jrnaiden, between whom. and. the youuk ped7
agogue in the days of his adversity there
x.isted an intimacy which, as time length:

THE EARLY O.ISTORY OF SULLIVAN To w
miuP. r. J. D. Ruinsey contributes the
following interesting article relating to the
settlement of Sullivan- town-hip-to the Dem
ocrat ; ' °
It is a difficult task to gain correct infor
mation regarding the ; settlement of ft place
where no records have been kept, uslall we
can learn has to be taken from the memory
of aged people. They as a general rule, are
forgetful, and it is probable that sonic errors
will occur ,in a narrative ,or: such events.
When Sullivan was organized into a town
ship it contained what is now Union and
Ward and' part -of Ridlaild, townships; in
cluding the boroughs of Fall Brook and
Maineaburg; but the writer will confine him
self in the following narrative to the preS
ent limits of Sullivan and Mainesburg. At
what tulle the first settlement was made with
in the present, limits of Sullivan I have not
beenfable,do , 1n,1807, 'when Gardner
Seaman mono hero, thew wore only seven
flimilies in the
. township—Allen Lane being
the first - to penetrate the then unbroken
will Ile settled on what is now called the
Ballard farm on the State road); but the
time , : of his coming is not re,i f ienabereil,
though he must have conic, some time before
that. TIiH others were - Ensign Mitchell, in
what; is called Dewey's Ifollowjsaac Wes
cott near Mr. Lane, Abram West, in Gray's
Valley, Oliver Jennings on the Dotal farm
near Mainesburg, Samuel Reynolds on
the farms now owned by T. M., Reynolds on
the State road, and Ira Mudge also on the
same road. •
- -
During the year 1807 1t number of families
came - here, and among them were Jeremiah
Rumsey, who came in the Spring of that
year and settled on the farm that still hears
Isis name. He came hero the year before,
and eeected a house, and then went back to
his family, and returned in the year which I
have mentioned, bringing his family with
him. Noah Ramsey, a brother of Jeremiah,
settled near him; Simeon Broggs on the State
road, and Captain .1 Gray in what is
called Gray's - Valley, which derived its name
from hiM. Captain Ciray Caine early in the
season, and arrived here in a heavy snow
storm; the snow was four feet deep. The set
tlers turned out and helped him in. Among,
those that tame the • following year were
William Ludington. lie came from Ticon
deroga, N. Y., and settled on the County
road, and afterwards moved to Antes' Hill,
permanently located on what is
still known as the Wm. rinaington farm.
Prior to 1808 this place had but few citi
4.ns owing to the controversy over the own
ership of the land, Pensylvania .and Con
necticut both claiming it; but about this
time ,the contest wars ended by the latter
State acknowledging the former's
Front this time emigrants rapidly poured in,
and in a short time she had a respectable
number of citizens. The hardy pioneer's
axe could lie heard from about the dawn of
day until the shades of night • while during
the latter pat t of summer andearly autumn,
for many days, the sky was darkened by vol
umes of smoke arising flora burning fallows,
and in.the-eveningtAbe starry c:rnopy was il
luminated by the fires from burning log
heaps.. •
The County road running east and west
through , the township was opened prior to
1808, and the State road running paralleldont
south of the former during that year. - This
road had been chopped through before this
time, but-there were logs remaining until
that year, which prevented teams from pass
ing. About 1809, Noah Rumsey moved to
where Mainesburg now stands, and erected at I
flouring mill near the site of the present mill.
' structure was of logs, in which was one
run o ..' nes, . taken . faom the Armenia
mountain. The mill was run by water, and
was the first ono in this section. At this
rtimeflwhere Mainesburg now stands was a
dense wilderness, and by the overflowing of
the water timber was killed; and where the
business portion of the town now is there
was a mill pond thickly interspersed with
dead timber, which lifting their leafless arms
heavenward presented a scene somewhat re
sembling the shipping in a harbor. Some
time after the erection of this mill, Mr. Ram
sey sold the property to Jonathan F. Spen
cer, who, after running it a few years, sold
it to John Maine, who afterwards also erect
ed a distillery. From hint the village de
rived its name.
About 1831, Sylvester Bailey erected a wa
ter power-flouring mill at the point now call
ed Chandlersburg. This mill is still stand
ing, and has been somewhat repaired recent
ly by C. Palmer its present proprietor, so
that he uses it. The first saw mill was erect
ed by John Gray at Gray's Valley, about
1811. After Noah Rumsey sold his mill
property to Mr. Spencer, lie Moved on to the
hill south of Mainesburg, and in 1813,-Smith
RUmsey, a younger brother of Jereinuth and
Noah, came front - Vermont, and located on
the same hill, where he erected 11 house, an
then went back to
- that State, and the folloti,L,
ing year:returned, bringing his family with
him. From this th'e hill derives its Mime_
The first school house in the township' wiisis
a log structure, erected near Mr. Lane's, and
known as the' Diven School House! The
Methodist Episcopals were the first to raise
the banner of the Cross in this place., , Rev.
Joseph Mitchell of this denomination
preached the first sermon about 1808. lie
was at the time on a visit to his brother (En-'
sign Mitchell), and preached at ,his house,—
About two years later Captain Thos. Lewis,
an exhorter of the same church, commenced
to hold meetings at the Diven school house,
which he kept up for several years. 110 i
spoken of as a devoted follower of Christ,
and his Obits were productive of much good
in assisting the spread of the Christian relig
1.
iou among. he people. - Several :year
Captain Lewis commenced his labors, R v.
Mr. Warner organized a Methodist pis o
pal class at the same point, which is r said to,
s of or
be the first religious organization within he
township. Rev. Mr. Power was the firk,-Old
School Baptist clergyman to enter the field.
Soon after, Rev. Mr. Ripley entered, and
they both occupied it together, and about
1814 they organized a society at the residence
of Deacon Peleg Doud near Mainesburg.—
AboUt 1828, Rev. Mr. Whitehead of the
Christian denomination, preached several
times at the residence of Oliver Rumsey,
who at that time resided on the County road,
near Riimsey3dll. , Notlong after this, Rev.
Normim Lamphere orate same church be
gan to preach at the residence of James B.
Dewey on the State road, and in a short time
Revs. Pentaeost Sweetland and John Ellis
began to labor in the township; and soon af
ter a society was - organized s tit Mr. Dewey's.
In the autumn of 1830, Rev, James H. Lain
phere of the Free Will Baptist church, com
menced to preach at, the Runesey Rill school
house, and, the following winter a powerful
revival sprung up under his ° labors. In the
following spring he organized a church at
that point. The first ehurch edifice erected
was by the Baptists at GinS"s Valley, known
as the East Sullivan church, and the next one
was the M. E. church at Mainesburg.
The first frame building in the township
was a barn, erected in' 1808. John Grey
started a store at Gray's Valley, in 1816, and
"hauled* hii goods by wagon from Philadel
phia. This was the first store in Sullivan.—
Sometime afterthis„ - Timothy and Josaph

township is said to have been held at Wm
Ludingtons, while he resided on the County
road, and afterwards at Captain James Gray's
in Gray's Valley, Nathaniel Welch's, a little
north of the State road, and'at Captain Thos:
Haden's,on nobbin'a After Mr,,Ltul
ington had Settled On the farm that' bears his
name, thaffilktions were held at his house
again, and - they continued to hold - them for ,
quite a number of years,' and finally the
place (,r holding them was changed to the'
house of jobri-FOitin • Mainesburg, in whiClv
village they have continued, to be held.—

in Mainesburg, he erected 'a hotel, the first
one at that point, and the building is still
standing, 'and is at present occupied by .Dr.

was almost:exemplary citizen and good. bus

was Dr. ,Guernsey, who located at Gray's
tilhat if change as been wrought 'here in
loss than`-three-fourths of a century. Those
dense forests, the abode of wild animals,
have fallen before the pioneer's axe. The
rudely constructed log houses, scattered here
and there in small clearings, have been En
perceded by Lusty and commodious farm'
houses. The log school houses ( used for both
educational and religious purposes, have giv
