THE MODOC HANGING, FULL PARTICULARS OF THE TRAGIC AFFAIR—ALL FIRM BUT 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. THE EVANGELICAL. CON FERENCE. A VAST ATTENDANCE-ELOQUENT OPENING 8PEECH—PRESIDENT WOOLSEY’S ADDRESS—“WE BELIEVE IN ONE GREAT UNIVERSAL CHURCH.” r' : The Condition of the Italian. Church. New Yobk, October 3.—.The Evangelical Conference opened with prayer this morn ing, at Madison Square Church. 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 cussed for a loeg time, and the country is alive to this convocation, ffotonlyourown but other lands aieviewing you with intense interest The eyes of God and man are on us.- [Applause.] Let ; us hope that the blessing of (Jqu may be upon us. .Every thing possible has been done for your com fort. “I give you the sentiment of all our hearts a most cordial welcome to our country, our homes and onr hearts,” • OPENING RXBHCI8KS. After singing of doxology, prayer was given by Rev. Dr. Hodge, of Princeton. Rev. Dr. Rigc, of London, next read a por tion of the 17th chapter of St. John, after which there was prayer by Rev. Mateo Pro chat, of Italy, and was followed by the Dean of Canterbury, with the credo entire. iTbe conference thru rose and sang, with ili IN THE WORLD—THE WESLEUN, MACON, ON. present indications showed that the evan gelicals were making vast progress and would make more if they had sufficient literature of their own.

A VICTIM OF APPALLING SUFFER INGS—DISEASE AND STAR 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 the Doctors. Washington, October 3.—A telegrain re ceived by the President yesterday from Gen. Emory, commanding United States troops at New Orleans, asking if it would not be ad visable to send five thousand rations to the sufferers there, and the President replied di recting General Emory to send them atom ■without waiting for the usual official form.. 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 'jv msupportB: In re Beck- erforclW TWVm; ®—argued tea re-Mr. prior to jiui er 0 f the Supreme Court of the United set apart r gt ateS) an( j Krekel, J., in the Federal Circuit ed" in the State Courts July 21, 1868, refdsed to 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 ren of free and heroic Switzerland, and the the Act approved June 8,1878, amendatory representatives of France—the much suffering, of the general bankrupt law. •'Ihe 14tn_ aec- and glorious church of France—(applause.) |. tion of the original Act exempts, in addition We welcome those from all other parts of I to certain property of various kinds excepted Europe, and those who have came like first s from the provisions of this section, ‘such fruits from the eastern land. BUSINESS ANNOUNCEMENT. It was then annonneed that it had been agreed on that pastors should make their own arrangements with delegates as to ser vices. letter from archbishop of cantebbuby read. 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 of reformation. “Never,” he says, “was there a time more apposite.for attempting to 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 debts contracted before the adoption and passage of such State Constitution and laws, as well as those contracted after the same, I : • -----—~ tribute of sovereignty in the nation.—as es sentially so as the paramount right of emi nent domain, or the authority to pass embar go laws, or law3 for the erection of forts, ligh t- 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.
