The Lltst of tho Indians.
The Chicago Hoard of Trade semis a
rcMilution to the National H ard, which
meets in that city next month, setting
forth substantially that the Indian Terri-
toiy is too rich in mineral and agricultu
ral reaaourees to be permitted to lie waste
any longer, and Congress should proceed
at once to appropriate it to the use of the
white man. This is proposed to be done
under tho specious garb of a regular Ter
ritorial organisation, the forced civile
ration of the savage* by free schools, and
the donation of a homestead to each Indian
head of a family.
Thi. is a pretty sure way of killing off
the lost roll-skin, as small-pox, whisky
ami whits rascality would soon make
short work of them.
Hut we suppose this will bo called
" manifest destiny,” and aside from the
monstrosity of the wholesale spoliation
of a weak and defenceless race, perhaps
it is the best thing that can be done.
The history of tho world exhibit, many
evidences of the existence of lost peoples,
of whom nothing is known save by the
crumbling monuments and resurrected
relics which tell the story of their fate.
The Indian, we suppose, is destined to
vanish in the same manner. It is the
old story of the weak succumbing to the
strong, and then seems to be no remedy.

It will prove a barren venture, indeed
to any who have the work of their head,

prespective fortune, snatched from their
grasp. The whole exhibition has come
to grief from the extravagance of hotel

A Quaker Who Wanted to
Fight.
We published, a few days since, on ac
count of a Tennessee Quaker who. liein'g
conscripted into the Confederate army,
for throe years defied and defeated all ef
fort. to make him perform any sort of
military duty, and in his blind devotion
to his principle, aa a p.viee man and non-
resistant, refusal, to the hut, to do any
sort of service anywhere, and in any ca
pacity that would even seem to be ai ling
the war. Hi* was an extreme case, and
he himself, a pitiful creature, as he de-
lared in answer to a question that he
would not resent an insult or even per
sonal violence offered his wife, if had to
do it by fighting.
B it there are Quaker* and Quaker*.
We heard, yesterday, of one who liar’
quite a decided an appetite for war a* the
Tennessee diap had for peace. He wan
from North Carolina, and by some meant
had found his way into the Confederate
naval service, as one of the crew of the
iron-clad " Chicora,” stationed at Charles-
tan. He was a number one duty man
always ready and willing for any sort of
service, no matter how uidr.ou., and
amid all the luud work, day and night
entailed upon the crew, was never known
to grumble or make's complaint. It woe
not known to the officers of the “Chicora’'
that he was a Quaker, and probably the
fact would never have been disclosed had
not the first lieutenant—from whom we
get these facts—received cue day or
executive offioer of the ship from the
Secretary of tho Navy, the Qua
ker's discharge from service on tin-
ground of his religious faith. The
officer sent for him, and handing him the
paper told him ita contents, and that he
was at liberty to quit the ship and the
service as soon as he wished. Bat the
Quaker, much to tho officer’s surprise,
handed the paper bock and said he would
not take a discharge—that he was a
Southern man as well as a Quaker, and
that he owed his country duties which he
win quite able and willing to perform.
He was in service now, and intended tv-
remain and do all in hi* power and sphere
of action to secure the success of the
Sooth. He did remain in the servioe un
til the " Chicora” was destroyed to pre
vent her falling into the hands of the
Yankees, after which our informant lost
sight at him. *
We hope he lived to return safely to
his home in the old North State, for
whose sake he had shown such a wil
spirit to give up. not only his reli
scruples but life itself, and that he has,
with even more than the u-uol thrift of
his sect, prospered in basket and store
far beyond his expectations. He de
serves it all, for he showed himself a true
man from marrow to critide. And we
are decidedly of opinion that his chances
in a future world will tie quite as good
as those at his Tennessee brother, albeit
he did depart from the strict 1-tier of
that creed in which he had been raised,
and through the observance of which he
had been taught to expect entrance
through the straight and narrow gate.
Forced to Take His Own Physic
That burly lecher and eminent de
fender of the back-pay grab, Mr. Matt
Carpenter, Radical Senator from Wiscon
sin, while down in New Ori- an* but
spring, had the impudence, in a speech
to the negroes of that city, to advise the
white people “to let politics alone.” Saw
his constituents are advising him to load
off in waits. They don’t invite him
to speak in the present campaign, an l

A. x. to two or three r. x., with suitable
recess for. rest, embraces fully as much
time as can be profitably employed in
teaching children. They will not bear
cramming like turkeys.
< Again, in the public school especially,
very many of the pupils are forced to as
sist their needy parents in the cultiva
tion of their crops ami gardens, the chop
ping of wood, sewing, washing, and other
household duties indispensable in their
nature. lienee the importance of af
fording some portion of the day to bo
thus employed. Or even as a matter of
recreation, the plan works wdl. enabling
the children to take an abundance of ex
ercise, and fully recover from the confine
ment of the school-room. The overwork
ed, and ofttimes slenderly paid teacher
also, rejoices in the increased liberty af
forded him by this arrangement.
But there is yet another argument to
be urged in favor of single school ses
sions. If the public schools are designed
to supersede private academies, and pop
ularize and perfect a general system of
education which shall give equal facil
ities to all class,-.!, proper time must b-i
allowed to the children of those who can
afford it, to pursue elsewhere the study
of music and the find urts, such as draw-'
mg, painting, etc. But in the Macon
schools at least, a role obtains that no
pupil shall absent himself during school
Hours for any such purpose. This is a
practical prohibition to music and draw
ing scholars, as no time is afforded for
these branches, either before or after $h<>
morning and afternoon sessions. Thi
whole day is consumed in the routineSof
school duty. This is a very serious mat-
t-T to tho*.- parents wjio wi»h their cliil-
iren to pursue those ornamental and
really useful accomplishments, and must,
if persisted in, deter them from getting
the benefit of the public schools at all. |
If the rule of two sessions is adhere-!
to, why not. ns in other schools, permit
music and drawing pupils to absent
thcmseives at given hours during the
week, to take the n .eessary lessons ?
We simply bring this subject to the
ousidihition of the Board of Edueaf
tion as eminently worthy of their at
tention, without any consultation with
Mr. Zettlcr, whatever. AYu do not even
know wlmt his views are in the prem-
, nor has the writer any children at
tending the'public schorls of the Board.
The above suggestions are simply the re
sult of the deep interest he cnerishes in
these noble institutions, which arc design;
ed to dispouse knowledge and wisdom to
all the people, without money and with
out price.

from this city and will soon be entirely

of greenbacks were brought to the city

coming. In a few days the so-called

A Horrible Clime—Cold-Blooded]
Murder ix Effingham Countt.—We
have been put in possession of a few o;
the tacts — meagre enough in t :em-
sclvcs—relr L’tig to a eold-blooiei mur
der committed in Effingham county last
Wednesday. It appear* that one Henry
C. Wilson, a native of Effingham county,
deliberately and without provocation, as
far as our informant wai acquainted with
the facts, shot and killed a young man
named James X. Williams; also, a citizen
of ESngham.- Williams is represented
to having been a quiet and peaceable
citizen, and was about twenty-five years
old. The parties met within a quarter
of a mile of Elam Baptist Church, near
station No. 4, on the Central railroad.
Wilson abased Williams for some time,
and then finally shot him down, remark
ing that he (Wilson) had intended to kill
Williams before he left town. After thus

Prophetic.
The New York GrapMc recently repaid
fished an article that appeared in the
Modern Thinker, of November, 1872.
The following eruacts, in view of recent
vents in financial circles, smack of the
old j tophi tic spirit:
I predict that within the coming two
years this country will experience the
worst financial panicknownto its history.
It will be more wide spread and disas
trous than even that of 1837. Ail the
debts created by our paper money era
will be wiped out or compromised. Land
will temporarily fall to one-half its pres
ent value.
This panic wifi be precipitated, in all
probability, by the failure of the North'
em Pacific Railroad, and perhaps of the
bankers who manage it. This will brim •
to light such an amazing amount o
fraud in connection with our railroads as
to discredit all stocks, good and bed.
The bears will hold high carnival. Tho
men of most repute in financial circles
and on the “street” will prove to b,
common cheats. While the panic wil
commence, from all appearances, in rail
road circles, and will be confined for a
time to the new Western enterprises, it
will spread finally to the national hanks,
and willdevelope an amount of rottenness
in those institutions which is nowbeyoud
the power of the imagination to conceive.
I predict that in ten years' time the
Northern Pacific railroad enterprise will
be regarded as one of the most astound
ing instances of human credulity and
fofly. It will be a matter of profound
astonishment that among a business
community tens of thousands of sensible
men could be found to invest money with
a hope of profit in a railroad wMch be-
gan nowhere, ended nowhere, and ran for
the most part through a howling wilder
ness. That this road may be built is
possible; that it can be made to pay for
the present generation is too crazy a cMl
mcra to be for a moment entertained.
I predict that when all the great Pa-
eifle roods break down, as break they
must, on immediate demand will be
made for the Government to control and
run them. This will be the entering
wedge for the final control of all means
of rapid transit by the central Govern
ment.
I predict that before the breakdown of
our railroad system, corruption will be
rampant in Washington; the railroad
rings will run the Government wherever
their interests are at stake.

All Right—Don’t Bail Him.
John D. Couae, the clerk of Lawrence
Brothers, bankers, who is in the Tombs
awaiting trial on ten indictments charge
ing that he has embezzled §23,000 from
his employers, was taken by habeas corpus
into the Oyer and Terminer yesterday-
Tlie object* Of ^the writ wns to make ap^
plication for a reduction of bail from
$30,000 to $20,000. Assistant District
Attorney Bussell opposed the applica
tion, saying that it had already been
passed upon by Judge Daniels, who fixed
the amount of bail, and by Judge Suth
erland in tlie General Sessions, who de
nied a motion to reduce the bail, and
hence that it was res adjudicata. Sin.
Bussell aleo suggested that in view
of the frequent defalcations, eni-
bezzlements, and breaches of trust which
have lately attracted the attention of th£
public, this was not a time in which to
apply for an order which might have the
same practical effect as compounding a
felony. He thought that the stealing of
$25,000 should not be condoned by th*
forfeiture of $20,000 bail. He also sail
that Lawrence Brothers had been offered
a return of the amount embezzled on
condition that they would not press the
je against Cou3e, but that they re-
^ l, saying they coaid better afford to
lose the money than to allow the offender
to go unpunished.
Jud^e Brady denied the application
and tUsmissed the writ. He said that
the safety of the community was in
volved in the maintenance of the propo
sition that offenses like that of which the
prisoner was accused must be severely
dealt with ; and the great »r the respect-
a -ility of the culprit the surer should be
the punishment.—!T Y. Sun.
Ih view of the present iron scarcity in
England, some of the papers are com
plaining of the absurdity of wasting it*
as is done in tea. It is stated that a very
large per centage of iron and steel filings
is mixed with various grades of teas, es
pecially in those coming from Canton.
As it is a prime necessity in England to
diminish iron consumption, the British
freehoMer very justly complains that he
ought not to be compelled to drink it in
his tea. The alarming feature of the
prrctice, in the opinion of the Chicago
Tribune, is the possibily that the tea
drinking race of women may gradually
become ironized, and no longer remain
the delicate, interesting creatures they
are now. Doctors build up their patients
by putting them through a course of
iron. Wnat with iron medicines and
iron teas, there is a fair prospect of hard
ening the whole female class in England.

Execution of the Condemned Modoes,
Jacksonville, Oregon, October 3.
correspondent of the Associated Press
left Fort Klamath this morning at 11:30
o’clock, and by hard riding arrived, here
late this evening with the following re
port of the execution, of Capt. Jack and
his bond: Boston Charlie and Black Jim
were led on the scaffold first, and Schon
chin next. They trijd on it with appa
rent indifference, having evidently re
solved to die as bravely as they had lived.
Capt. Jack went easily up the stairway,
but looked wretched and miserable:. His
thihiil'Ihn had been struck off, but then
their aims were securely pinioned with
cords.
At precisely 9:45 a. m. the interpreters,
Capt. O. C. Applegate and David Hill
explained to the prisoners the nature o ‘
the order to be reaa to them by the Ad
jutant, and at 10 o’clock Adjutant Kings
bury read the order promulgating the
sentence of the commission anil the Pres
ident’s order thereon, with the order of
the Secretary of War and the deputy
commander in the premises.
The two reprieved prisoners, Bamcho
and Slotux, yet stood on the ground in
front of the scaffold, shackled and under
guard.
During the reading tho pinioned vic
tims were seated "on the platform of the
scaffold with their feet on the drop, list
toning onxioudy, but, of course, under
standing not a word of it.
The reading .occupied ten minutes.
Then the adjutant read the order of com
mutation in the case of Bamcho and
Slotux, and the poor fellows were taken
back to the stockade, evidently rejoicing
at not accompanying the others to the
happy grounds.
The chaplain then offered an earnest,
fervid prayer for the souls of the cul
prit*, which wus listened to attentively.
At 10:15 o’clock the fatal noo*es wore
placed around their neckj, under the di
rection of Captain Hoge.
It was necessary 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 a ad black caps were placed
over the heads of all the culprits.
At 10:20 o’clock they stool on the drop,
and the rope was cut by the assistant at
signal made with Capt. Hoge’s hand
kerchief.
The bodies swung round and round—
Jack and Jim apparently dying easily,
but Boston and Sc.ionin suffering terrible
convulsions Boston and Schonehin re
peatedly drew up their legs, but the two
others seemed to die almost instanly.
At 10:28 o’clock their pulses were felt
by Capt. Hoge, and as this is being writ
ten they are swinging lifeless in the air.
As the drop fell with a terrible thud,
four poor wretched human beings fell
into eternity, and a half smothered cry of
horror went up from the crowd of over
five hundred Klamath Indians, who wit
nessed 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.
The coffins, six in number, had been
placed directly in rear of the gallows—
two of them destined to be unoccupied, as
the order commuting the sentences of
Bamcho and Slotux only arrived at 10:30
last evening, and preparations had been
made for their execution with the others.
An application was made this morhing
to General Wheaton by the sheriff of
Jackson county, Oregon, for the custody
of the Indians indicted by the grand
Ju»y but was refused.

Suspension of Peake, Opdyke Jc Co.
Tnere was a flutter of excitement

goods houses on Broadway. Poike, the
senior member of the firm, when ques

his bouse had suspended, but expected to
resume business in a short time and to
pay one hundred cents on the dollar. The
suspension, he added, wa3 caused directly
by the disruption of exchanges. His
firm was owed large sums of money from
the West, and it had been found impos
sible, to make collections.
Several large dry goods merchants on
Broadway were also questioned as to the
public effect of the suspension of Peake,
Opdyke & Co. upon the market. It
seemed to be the general opinion that no
bad result* would follow.

We took the underground railway from
Euston road station, and in fifteen min
utes found ourself the other side of Lon
don, at the Bayswater station.* This un
derground railway is an admirable tfai:.
The speed, regularly, and safety of th..-
trains make up a marvel in the way of
transportation. One descends twenty or
thirty steps to a dim-lit station, and fin i s

hears a low roar, and in a few seconds the
train glides up. It does not touch your
platform, so it is not the one you want.
In two seconds this train, laden with pas
sengers, is off, and as you watch it your
own glides in. Each train has first, sec
ond, and third-class cars, and it is strik
ing to see how a crowd sifts itself into
place without delay and without confu-

will outshine any similar display ever
given in the United States.
