CAPTAIN JACK
Another Sad Chapter in In
dian History.
Jacksonville, Oregon, _ October 4 —A
correspondent of the Associated Press left
Fort Klamarth this momiDg at 11:30 o’clock,
and by hard"ridng arrived here late this
evening with the following report of the
execution of Captain Jsck and his band:
Boston Charlie and Black Jim were led on
the scaffold first, and Schonchin next. They
trode on it with apparent indifference, having
exidently resolved to die as bravely as they
had lived.
Capt. Jack went easily up the stairway,
but looked wretched and miserable. The
menaclea had been struck off but their arms
had been securely pinioned with cords. At
precisely 9:45 o’clock, a. m. the interpreters,
Capt. O. C. Applegate and David Hill, ex
plained to the prisoners the nature of the or
der to be read to them by the Adjutant, and
at 10 o’clock Adjutant KiDgsbury read the
order promulgating the sentence of commis
sion and President’s order thtreon, with or
ders of the Secretary of war,and department
and the commander in the premises. - The
two reprieved prisoners Barche and S.'olu,
yet stood on the ground in front of the scaf
fold with their feet on the drop listeniDg
anxiously, but of course understanding not a
word of it. • >»AG' . >
The reading occupied ten minutes, then
they adjusted vnJ rope, revd Un» orurr and
commutation in the case of Barncio, and
Slolu and the poor fellows were taken back
to the stockade evidently rejoiced at not ac
cord panyirag the others to the happy hunting
grounds. The chaplain then offered earnest
and fervent prayer for the souls of the cul--
prits, which was listened to attentively, and
at 10 o’clock and fifteen minutes the fatal
nooses were placed around tneir necks under
the direction of Capt. Hoge. It was neces
sary to cut off a little of Captain Jack’s long
hair which was in the way of the rope.
Captain Hoge then bid farewell to the
prisoners and black caps were placed over
the heads of all the culprits at ten o’clock and
twenty minutes. They stood on the drop
and the rope was cut by the Assistant at a
signal made with Captain Hoge’s handker
chief; the bodies swung round, and round.
Jack and Jim apparently dying easily, but
Boston and Chronchin suffering terrible con
vulsions, repeatedly drawing up their legs,
bat the two others seemed to die almost in
stantly. At ten o’clock and twenty-eight
minutes their pulses were felt by Cap
tain Hoge, and as this is being writ
ten they are swinging lifeless in the
air. As the drop fell with a terribly deadly
thud, four poor wretched human beings
fell into eternity, and a half smothered cry of
horror went up from a crowd of over five
hundred Klamath Indians who witnessed the
awful spectacle. Wails of deep and bitter
anguish went up from the stockade where the
wives and children of the poor fellows had a
fair view of the shocking scene. Coffins, six
in number, had been placed directly in the
rear of the gallows. Two of them are des
tined to be unoccupied, as an order commut
ing the sentences of Barncho and Sloleuonly
arrived at 10:30 last evening, and after prepa
ration had been made for their execution with
the others. An application was made this
morning to General Wheaton by the sher ff
of Jackson county, Oregon, for the custody
of the Indians indicted by the Grand Jury,
but it was refused.

New Yobk, October 3.—.The Evangelical
Conference opened with prayer this morn

A VAST CROWD,
The formal opening for business took place
later in Steinway Hall. The vast hall was
crowded to excess with delegates. They
swarmed out on the lobbies and stairs at
either "end of the block, through which the
hall extends. A large platform was so
crowded, that as early as 10 o’clock there
was hardly standing room. The Oriental
delegates in white turbans were conspicuous
objects in the vicinity of the chair.
OPENING ADDRESS.
The Hon. William Dodge called the meet
ing to order, and said:
“You are here assembled from all parts of
the world—from countries having institu
tions and laws quite different from ours. As
for us, we seek no alliance with the State.
We only ask protection and full enjoyment
of liberty. [Great applause.]
We trust that many of you will have an
opportunity of visiting our far westernlands
and beyond our inland seas; and of seeing
the maivelous extension that onr country is
undergoing. When we visit your countries
we are deeply interested in looking over
works of centuries, your cathedrals and your
cities of renown. When yon come here we
asK you to look at what has mainly been ac
complished in a single century.
“The object of your meeting has been dis

He said:
We are met here tc-day because we believe
in the communion of saints. (Applause.)
We believe that man in his nature has aspi

God is one, and that in various unfoldings of
Christian character and life there is. one
Christian character, the spirit of love for
God and love of man, resting in Jesus Christ,
in the hope of redemption through Him

We believe in one great universal church
that has lasted through all time till now, and
is to last till the end of all things. (Ap

Notwithstanding the inefficacy of prayer
has been demonstrated byjecience (^[laughter

still all the same, and as long as there are
Christians in the world they will pray inces

Thus, too, we believe in the diffusiveness
of the gospel.

A VICTIM OF APPALLING SUFFER

VATION-PITEOUS AP
PEAL FOR HELP.
Shreveport, September 30.—The most
useful citizens are victims. The Howard As
sociation have opened an asylum, which feeds
nearly two-thirds of the population. The
origin of the fever has become a mooted
question. The doctors says it was imported
irom Cuba. An appeal for relief says there
are seven hundred sick. The peculiar char
acter of the disease requires peculiar and
skillful attention and nourishing food. Hun
dreds are without means or employment.
The destitution is as heart-rending as the dis
ease itself. - ...... ...
We feel that the great public heart will
respond to this appeal, extorted by the most
dire necessity. Onr own resources arc nearly
exhausted. The wealthy are broken down;
the poor are threatened with actual starva
tion; the sick and dying are about to bo
deprived of the commonest comforts human
ity can offer them. We appeal, not to our
fellow countrymen, but to our fellow men for
aid
(Signed ) L. E. Simmons,
President of ihe Howard Association, and all

Washington, October 3.—A telegrain re

Emory, commanding United States troops at

the power "to establish uniform
on the subject of bankruptcies tbrough-
he United States"—and the main reason
rated was that it gave a bankrupt, in
"tate, property, as exempted from the
it of his creditors, to a larger or lesser
rat or value tbanit bestowed upon a bank-
in another State; and he illustrated his
by examples: If’the bankrupt, he
is domiciled in Georgia, he will (at
if the head of a family) be entitled to an
ption to the value of $1,000 in specie
lty.and one thousand dollars in specie in
inally; if the bankrupt is a resident of
Issippi, he would be entitled to property,
erupted to the value of four thousand dol
1 of California to a still larger exemption
if of Maine to an exemption far less in
than that allowed in any of the States
1. This diversity, as was urged, showed
ly the want of uniformity in the statute,
consequently; its’ repugnancy to the
tjtution of the United States. 1
e argument is plausible and apparently
3; but when the mind rises from effects
rases, the fallacy of the riasoniug is re-
for Congress has never claimed the
, under this or any other provision of
Constitution, to annul State exemption
or to mould them to a uniformity and
throughout the United States. 'From'
‘ statement, it will, I apprehend, he
the words “uniform laws," as used
iBseof the Constitution, have no re
in anywise, affect the exemption
several States, no matter how
may be. And this view ia not

other property than that allowed by the ex-1 c 0 “im’for^thTwestem'District - ^of*Missouri
emption laws of-force in 1864. The bank- nn pBt.inn came ud for decision, and
rupt claims the exemption allowed by the
Constitution and laws of Georgia as existing
in the year 1871. The Register after argu
ment before him held that the bankrupt was
entitled to the benefit of the exemption laws
of this State as they stood in 1871, and made
the following order:
“Let the assignee set apart as ex
empted property : First—The- necessary
household and . kitchen furniture, and
such other articles and necessaries of the
bankrupt as he shall designate and set apart,
having reference in the amount to the fami
ly, condition and circumstances of the bank
rupt, but altogether not to exceed in value
the sum of five hundred dollars.
2d. The necessary wearing apparel
of the bankrupt and that of his wife and
children without valuation.
3d. The uniform, arms and equip
ments of a soldier in the militia, if he be
such, or if he is in the service of the United
States.
4. buch other property as now is exempt
from attachment, or seizure, or levy on execu
tion by the laws of the United States.
5. Real estate to the value of two thousand
dollars in specie, and personal property to the
value of one thousand dollars in’specie.
The objections of the assignee were con
fined to tnis, the fifth, item of the Register’s
order. Here, as previously, before Mr. Re
gister Murray, the validity of certain portions
of the 14th section of the Bankrupt Act of
March 2d, 1867, and the amendatory Act of
June 8, 1872, and that of March 3, 1873,
was questioned. But counsel lor the assignee
pressed his argument With moie directness
against the constitutionality of the Act of
March 3,1873, and which is entitled “an Act
to declare the true intent and meaning of
this question came up for decision, and
Judge Krekel.in delivering the opinion of the
Court, said: ** It ia insisted that the 14th sec
tion, already cited, having adopted the ex
emption laws of the State in which the bank
rupt is domiciled, and these exemptionshav
ing no regard to uniformity, violate the con
stitutional- provision authorizing uniform
laws throughout the United States to be
passed. If Congress saw cause to pass bank
rupt laws under the grant of power referred
to, the injunction is that they shall he uni
form throughout the United States. So far
as the distribution of the bankrupts' assets—
the point under consideration—is concerned,
the law is uniform. * * * *
Though the States vary in the extent of their
exemptions, yet what remains the bankrupt
law distributes equally among the creditors.”
A like view of this question was taken by
Rives, J., in re, Wylie. 5 A. L. T., 330, and
in re Kean and White, Pamph, 2. So likewise,
by Dick, J., in re, Jordan, ff N. B. K., 180.
See also Bump, 6th edition, 135. If the rea
son which I have advanced is too narrow to
show that the Bankrupt Act of 1867, and the
amendments cited are in harmony with the
clause of the Constitution, requiring laws on
the subject of bankruptcies to be uniform
throughout the United States, then I am con
tent to rest satisfied upon the broader reason
of the authorities quoted or referred to.
A bankrupt system or law must be regarded
as comprehensive, and not partial in its
operation; so, too, it should be accompanied

The Dean of Canterbury then read a letter
from the Archbishop of Canterbury, pray iDg
for God’s blessing on the efforts for the spread

check the spread 'of superstition, and he
trusts all will cordially unite in doing so.”
IHE ITALIAN CHURCH.
Rev. M. Prachet, of Italy, spoke on the
condition of the church in that country. He
said: “Pius the IXth is conscious of the di
minished power. The clergy clung around
the Holy See for support, and all are eager to
crush the common foe before them. All
Italian Priests do not believo what the Pope
taught, for only a few years ago 9,000 of them
petitioned to him to abandon his temporal
pow er, but he refused. For all that reforma
tion was not to be expected through the
Priests of Italy, for they are always
ready to do the bidding of their master.
The people, though Roman Catholic in
name, are indifferent about their religion, and
instead of seeking out the truth prefer to re
main inactive in the church in which they
were b?rn.” EfBP . .
He referred briefly to various parties in
Italy, and said that there were over half a
dozen protestant denominations who had
each their churches and large congregations
in that country. After paying tribute to
the ingenuity of the Jesuits, the speaker said
Italy was divided into three parties, the
priests, the piotestants and the infidels, and
other property not included in the foregoing
exceptions as is exempted from levy and sale
upon execution or other processor order of
any court by the laws of the State in wnich
the bankrupt has his domicil at the time of
the commencement of proceedings in bank
ruptcy, to an amount not’ exceeding that al
lowed by such State exemption laws in force
in tne year eighteen hundred and sixty-
four.” The amendment of June 8, 1872,
struck out the words “eighteen bun
dred and sixty-four,” and inserted
in lieu thereof • “eighteen hundred
and seventy-one.” To thi3 followed
the amendatory or declaratory Act of March
3,1873, (just referred to) which declares “that
the exemptions allowed the bankrupt by said
amendatory Act” (of June 8, 1872) “should,
and it is hereby enacted that they shall be the
amount allowed by the Constitution and
laws of each State,respectively,as existingin
the year eighteen nundred and seventy-one;
and that such exemption be. valid against

houses or public buildings. Bat notwithstand
ing the expression of any theoretical ideas,
the Court has been guided to its con
clusion solely by by those reasons which
were fairly Reducible from the lan
guage of the Constitution itself. Con
fining the decision to the issues made, the
validity of the general bankrupt law of 1867,
tho amendatory act of 1872, and also, (so far
at least as the present matter in controversy
is involved,) the declaratory act of 1873, is
assumed, and cannot, I think, be treated as
debatable.
And that I may not fall into the mischiev
ous habit of not indicating the sources of my
information I will name, and, when necessary
quote from the cases and authorities mainly
consulted, to sustain the views exhibited.
• The 5th section of the "act of Congress of
Match 3,1797, (1 stat 512), gave a preference
to the United States in cases of insolvency,
and the Supreme Court, in United States es.
Fisher, 2 Cranch 358;- decided the act to be
constitutional; and also that it was not con
fined to persons accountable for public mon
ey, but extended to debtors of the Govern
ment generally.
In Evans vs Eaton, Peters C. C. R.333, Mr.
Justice Washington said: “There is nothing
in the Constitution of the United States which
forbids Congress to pass laws violating the ob
ligation of contracts, although such » power
is denied o the States individually.” Similar
language was bald by Mr. Justice, McLean,
■jflt t*. Stalky, 5 JJr\Lw«vl5?.: ano
see Batteries va. Jiatthewson, 2 Peters, 330.
Chief-Justice Chase, in pronouncing the de
cision of the court in Hepburn vs. Griswold,
8 Wall., 603, remarked: that “Congress has
express power to enact bankrupt laws, and
we do not see that alaw made in the execu
tion of any other express power, which, inci
dentally only, impairs the obligation of a con
tract, can be held to be unconstitutional for
that reason”
I Mr. Justice Miller, in his dissenting opin-.
ion in the same case (concurred in by Justices
Swayne and Davis),said that “while the Con
stitution forbids the States to pass such laws”
[laws impairing the obligation of contracts]
"it doesnot forbid Congress. On the contra
ry, Congress is expressly authorized to es
tablish a uniform system of bankruptcy, the
essence of which is to discharge debtors from
the obligation of their contracts.”
Mr. Justice Field, in his dissenting opinion
in the Legal Tender cases, 12 Wall. 457, said:
“The only express authority for any legisla
tion Directing the obligation of contracts is
found in the power to establish a uniform
system of bankruptcy, the direct object of
which is to release insolvent debtors from
their contracts’upon the surrender of their
property.”
And Mr. Justice Strong,, in giving the
judgment of the Court in the Legal Ten
der cases, supra, said: “Nor can
it be truly asserted that Congress may
not, by its action, indirectly impair the obli
gation of contracts, if by the expression be
meant rendering contracts fruitless or par
tially fruitless. Directly it may, confessedly,
honesty may he encouraged and protected,
and fraud suppressed. True, it is a general
tenet of ethics, that the author of any
damage ought in conscience to repair it. Bat
if this rule be extended to the case of a
debtor who makes default of payment at the
time appointed, by means whereof the cred
itor sustains some extraordinary detriment, a
strict application of the maxim would (in
many ewes) .be UDjUBt; for it must be also
recollected that men should not be held ac
countable for unforeseen contingencies—con
tingencies proceeding from a concurrence of
conflicting circumstances over which the
debtor could have had no control.
No one can peruse the declaratory act of
March S, 1873—and which t may te said, re
enacts the amendatory act of .June 8,1872—
without perceiving the prominence of its
retrospective 'features, also its power to im
pair tho obligation of contracts, and to dis
place leins created by judgments and decrees
rendered in State coutts. But if their be no
constitutional infirmity in this enactment,
it must he taken as absolute and
uncontrolable. And there is nothing
in the Federal Constitution which precludes
Coneress from passing laws impairing the
obligation of contracts; the inhibition con
tained in the first clause of the tenth section
of the first article of that instrument is con
fined to the States respectively.—White vs
Hart, 13 Wall, 046. Guun vs. Barry, id 610*
In modern days law3 of bankruptcy are
considered as laws calculated for the
benefit of trade, in its largest sense, and
are founded on principles of humani-
I . on .
and againstliens by judgment or decree of as -well as justice; and being for
any State Court, any oecision of such Court "^j (
rendered since the adoption and passage of
such Constitution and laws to the contrary
notwithstanding,”
The Bankrupt Act of March 2,1867, the
amendatory Acts, and the declaratory
Act of 1873, make hut one system of
law; they are -therefore to be taken
together, and interpreted and construed
as one entire law or statute. One of
the objections taken by counsel for the as
signee to the constitutionality of this law,
was that it does not, in certain of its provis
ions, possess the element of uniformity as
required by the fourth clause of the eighth
section of the first article of the National
Constitution—the clause which confers on
tie good of trade, the thought suggests itself,
that if a i ational bankrupt law did not pos
sess thclelement of retiospectiveness, and
he power to impair, or,if neces: ary, to dis
charge the obligation ot antecedent contracts,
it would hut half perform its functions. And,
indeed, it does not sirike my mind that it
would be a purely speculative postulits to
say that if the consti.uiion had not ex
pressly granted to Congress the power to
establish laws on thesubiectof bankruptcies;
still the right of the Legislature to enact
laws of this nature—laws t>o intimately con
nected with the regulation of commerce at
home and abroad' and with manufacturing
and agricultural interests—would, it seems to
me, be within its legitimate powers, as an at-
literating contracts entirely.
And it is no sufficient answer to this to say
it is true only when the powers exerted were
expressly granted. There is no ground for
any such distinction.” -
Dick, J., in re, Jordan, and Rives, J.,
in re, Kean and White have held the
Act of 1873, amendatory of the General
Bankrupt Law, constitutional. And the Court
is indebted also to Register Murray for bis
written opinion upholding the validity of the
Act.
The Act of 1873, as previously observed,
declares that it was the true intent and
meaning of the Act of 1872, that the exemp
tions “as existing in the year eighteen hun
dred and seventy-one,” shall be valid
against debts contracted before the' adop
tion and passage of such State Constitution
and laws as well as those contracted after the
same, and again ft liens by j udgment or decree
of any State court,” etc. This Court, in a series
of cases which arose prior to the declaratory
act of 1873, ruled that, under the General
Bankrupt Act of 1867, and also under the Act
of 1872, State exemptions were paramount
debts pre-existing the passage of these Acts;
and none of these ratings were ever seriously
questioned here. But whether, before the
passage of the declaratory Act of 1873, a
court would have been warranted in so inter
preting and construing theActs of 1867 or 1872
as to adjudge exemptions valid against liens
byjudgment or decree of State courts it is no w
too late to discuss. Congress has, however, by
the Act of 1873, declared thejtrue, intent and
meaning of the Act of the preceeding year;
and, so tar as the case now before me is con
cerned; the bankrupt having filed his petition
in bankruptcy nearly “ two months
subsequent to the passage of the Act
of 1873,—the Court decides that the
exemptions claimed by this bank
rupt, supplants the liens of State judgments
and decrees: See Coolly on Constitutional
Limitations, 2d edition, 90-94, and the cases
cited by that learned and accomplished jur
ist, and also, In re Kean and White, supra.
The assignee is instructed to carry into ef
fect the order made by Register Murray.
