THE MODOC ELEPHANTS! Are They Prisoners of War or What? Long-Winded Opinion by the Attorney General. Which Our Readers May Read or Sot, Just as They Please* Washington, June 7, 1873. The following is the opinion of the Attorney Gen eral on the question submitted by the War Depart ment relative to the Modoc*; Dkpabtmext of Justice., June 7, 1873. To THE PRESIDENT : Sir—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt from you of several papers relative to THE MODOC INDIANS, now in custody of the United States Army, with a re quest for zay opinion as to the authority to try cer tain of the prisoners by a martial tribunal. The main facts out of which the question arises are these: In 1864 the United States made s treaty with these Indians, by the terms of wrhich they were to go and remain upon a reservation in the State of Oregon. Late last Call, the Indians being sway from their reser vation. a military detachment was sent to procure their return. Finding them unwilling to go pe&oa- sbly, the officer indicated his determination to use compulsion, in consequence of which a conflict ensued between the United States troops and the Indians. Soon after several peaceable citizens and their families in the vicinity ¥EU MURDER FA) by the Indians of this band. They then intrenched is silent and of no effect between armies in the field. Manifestly, these rules, to s great extent, if not alto gether, axe correct, foe it cannot be pretended that s United States soldier Is guiltv of murder if he kills s public enemy. In battle, which would be Ihectae.if the municipal law was in force and applicable to aa set committed under such circumstances, all the laws and customs of civilized waif ire msy not be applicable to an armed conflict with the Indian troops upon our Western frontier, but the circum stances attending the assassination of Cauby and Thomas are such as to make their murder as much a violation of the lawa of the savage a« of the civilized warfare, and THE INDIANS concerned in it lully understood the baseness and treachery of their act. It is difficult to define exactly the relations of the Indian tribes to the United States, but as they have been recognised as independent communities for treaty making purposes, and as they frequently carry on organized and protracted wars, they may properly, as it seems to me, be held subject to those rules of warfare, which make a negotiation for peace after hostilities possible, and which make a perfidy like that in question punishable by military authority. Doubtless THE WAR WITH THE MODOC 1 is practically ended unless some of them should es cape and renew hostilities, but it is the right of u«. as there la no agreement for peace, to determine for themselves whether or not anything more ought to be done for the protectien of the country or the punish ment of crimes growing out of war. Section 59 of said instructions is as follows: ▲ prisoner of war remains answerable for hia crimes ; committed before he wss captured, and for which he baa not been punished by bis own authorities. My conclusion therefore is that A MILITARY COMMISSION MAY BE APPOINTED to try such of the Modoc Indians as are now in custody, charged with offences against the recognized | laws of war, arid that if upon such trial, any that are found guilty, they may be subjected to such punish, ment as thoee laws require or justify.

Instructions were prepared in 1863, by Francis Liebee, LL.D., and revised by a board of officers, of which General E. A.

Section 13 of these .nstructicnsis ss follows: Military instructions is of two kinds. First, That which is conferred and defended by statute. Second, That which is derived from the common law of war. Military offense UNDER THE STATUTE LAW, must be tried in ths manner therein directed; but military offenses which do not corns within the statute must be tried and punished under the common law of war. The character of the courts which exercise these jurisdictions depends upon the local laws of each particular country. In tbs srmies of the United States the first is exercised by courts martial, whtle cases which do not come within the rales and articles of war, or the jurisdiction conferred by statutes on courts martial, are tried by military commissions.

Although a prisoner of war may be tried, condemned, and executed by military tribunal without any flagrant breach of the constitution.

The American Minister intyfer<-il in behalf ol two naturalized Irish men, but Preaidcnt Lsedo de Tejada refused to allow them to remain. The arrest of these priests is con sidered a clear indication ot the unwillingness of the President to protect the church party.

Like the fair daughter of ths Cavaliers, Mrs. Hooper Sum ner was social and hospitable; Sumner was aristocratic, arrogant and domineering. His j way was the only way, except one, indeed— 1 the way where divorces lie. He haughtily i declined to meet her guests; refused to be in- I trodueed to her acquaintances; his idea of a I wife was a fair, fond, gelatinous female, with j no will of her own, who should loudly say her 1 orisons to him, and treat him like* a sacred • graven image.
