The Condemned Modocs.
The following, which we dip from
the Macon Telegraph and Messenger,
nearly expresses our own views of the
matter that we give it our hearty en
dorsement:
Captain Jack, Schonchin, Black Jim,
Boston Charley, One-eyed Jim, and
Sloluck with an alias—six of them-
are appointed to be hung on the 3d, (Jay
of next October. They undoubtedly
deserve death. They were guilty of
act of supreme treachery and assassi
nation.
Under pretence of treating for peace
they sought and obtained a conference
with General Canby and two United
States Peace Commissioners, and mtlr-
dered two of them while unarmed, un
suspecting and defenceless, and nearly
killed the third. The act was unpar
donable, and the effort to prevent
condign punishment by the United
States authorities is unworthy of the
slightest recognition.
There is too much of this mawkish
sentimentality in regard to the Indians
on our frontier. It is mere sentimental
ity, without common sense, and with
out sensibility to the awful outrages
perpetrated frequently on the
settlers from Texas to Oregon.
That the Indians have been wronged
and swindled by Government agents,
may he all very true, and that they
may be occasionally victimized to the
lawlessness of the frontier settlers them
selves, may be possible. But what
then? Both sides must be taught to
respect justice and law by a stern re
pression and punishment of violence
and wrong.
There is no other way of preserring
the peace. The Indian must bringhis
complaints to the nearest military jost
and look to the government for redEss,
and not to murder of innocent wonen
and children.
The stories of recent Indian Kids
from the Mexican frontier, where wlole
families have been murdered vith
every imaginable excess of cruelty,and
little babes burned alive with the holies
of their parents, are too horrible t» be

New Publications.
We have received the Leonard Scott
Publishing Company’s reprint of the
English Quarterlies for July. This se
ries embraces the London, Edinburgh,
British Quarterly, and Westminster Re
views. They contain the cream of
English literature, and are a library
within themselves.
BlackioootTs Magazine, a splendid
monthly (also a republication by the
Leonard Scott Publishing Comjffny).
for August is on our table. Its contents
are, as usual, noteworthy. Jtord
Lytton’s most excellent story, ‘The
Parisians,” is Still running, the present
number opening the ninth Book."” The
interest of the story becomes intensified
as it progresses; one thinks of the dead
author as he first opens the book, but
soon he forgets all else in the thrilling
absorption of the story. “ Savalls, and
the Carlists in Catalonia,” is an oppor
tune article, bearing on the troubles in
Spain.
“ A Century of Great Poets” presents
the life, character and genius of Jo
hann Friedrich Schiller; making the
ninth number of this series of admi
rable articles. “Tho Scilly Isles and
Southwest Cornwall” is a pleasing bit
of descriptive writing.
- “A Visit to Albion” is also good.
“ The North” is full of bird song, and
is charmingly sweet. “Dragging out
a Wretched Existence” commends it
self to the political student
All in all, the August nhmber of
Blachcood is a splendid one.
SciunxEit’s Monthly.—Scribner for
September is received, and presents a
splendid table of contents. “ A Cruise
among the Azores” is a readable article,
spiritedly illustrated. “ Central Park,”
also illustrated, is as fresh as a spring
morning, and refreshingly pleasant this
hot weather. One almost imagines
oneself in the woods, to look at its
fresh, bright, lifelike pictures.
Dr. Holland’s story, “ Arthur Bonni-
castle,” is continued. “ The Liberty of
Protestantism” is an able answer to an
article which appeared in the July
number of Scribner.
“ A biographical Sketch of Edward
Eggleston” will be interesting to that
gentleman’s friends, but of no material
interest to the general reader. “The
Birds of the Poets” is musical* with
the “ Songs of Birds.”
Bret Harte’s 81000 story, “
of Fiddletown,” is continued, but few
readers,we opine, will consider it worth
half the money. “Modem Skepticism”
is a second paper on that interesting
subject.
Albert Webster, Jr., gives us a very
pleasing story called “ Baum, The Cor
net Player.”
Wliitelaw Reid has en excellent arti

which can be read with profit by schol
