In tho intor~ ‘wat of the Unitod Btates, and tho tribo nlso, the ‘Presidont solected thomost fitting mon ho could 4ind, who, with the General commanding, should Worm a Poaco Commission. Whilo in conforence, 0 Indian Chiof, with true Indian troachory, at- empted the mnauncro of the wholo Commission, and succeeded partly, 28 wo too well know. Now, the most onlightened or humano (or hu- wman) viow that the matter can bo viewed in is thin: Tho Modoo tribo are only guilly of trerchory, and the Chief is of courso the guiltiest ono. “Now, aro tho womon guilty in this matter? It wo say yos, then aro the children guilty? Or wro all of tho Indlan tribes guilty ? Tho sovercat punishment that can be imagined orcontrived is loniont enough for the Chiof and ‘his mon ; but an enlightened view of tho mattor ‘wonld convince any porson that it is inhuman, u{gnt, and oruel to inflict punishment (soying othing of extermination) upon the wholo race, or tho flondish tronchory of at most half-sshun- dred men. . The practico, which has becomo quite common in the Journal of lato, of deriding the Judges of our Bupremo Court,—of talking flippantly and sonselessly of the common law s on- tiquated and not up to the spirit and progress of tho ago (mob law),—doos wo credlt to the Ohicago Ewvening Journal, In fact, it botrays two things, which wiser mon would concenl: Itshowsthat the Journalstill smarts from tho mortification roceived at tho bands of the Bupreme Court, and it shows an ‘witempt to malo capital out of the impatienco of stho farmors, who are euffering from low pricos '0f graln and unfair dealing by many of the rail- rond companics. Thoro is one thing cortain : if 'we cannot respect ourlawa and tho administra- tion of thom, wo must Iny down the claim of oivilization. ~ Amoricans cannot afford it, and denst of nll can placos liko Chicago afford it.

How impossibte it is to treat with Indians as with reasonable human beings, how undnfo to re- gard thom as other than flonds incamato, with whom the considorations of conscienco and hu- manity lave no weight, this droadful aect of treachory fully demonatrates, Tho Modoos havo by this bloody deod placed themselves without ilie paleof civilized warfaro, and it sooms to become necessary to hunt them to denth, But wo have othor Indian tribes and other Indian wars, What will the Government do with them? Will it still further temporizo? ~ Will {t continue to send Christisn mem» among them in the vain endeavor, Dy gifts, by schools and farms, by biankots an Tosorvations, to Christianizo wnd civilize the wild Indians of Arlzona and the North? Or will the Government now be compelled to turn ovor tho whole race to the War Dopartmont, with fu- structions to Iay down for thom cortain rules to fi?vum thom, and in ovout of their treachery and isobadienco declaro againet thom war? Can the Administration liston longer totho tenching that rogards theso wild warriors as guileless inno- conts, as wards and pupils of the Govornment; or will they tront them sa a bloody, merciloss, sayAgo raca—as this act of troachory proves thoni to be—incapable of Christianity and civilization, aud to whom tho axrts of poace aud pursuits of industry aro impossible ?

Tho most ardent indorsor of tho * peace policy” must now seo that furthor tnm&arlng with liese morciless brutes ia a orimo to the country. Gen. Cauby's life is n foarful price to pay for guch a result; but we truat that in the end thia dovilish decd of tho Modocs may be tho means of saving much innocont blood, not only in Oregon, but among tho Apaches of Arizous, If any- thing wero necded to convinco all pooplo thatit it worse than folly to treat or tomporize with sav- ages, who aro by nature uttorly incapable of even appraciating forbenrauce whon it is oxeroisod toward thom, or of keeping tho appearance of faith when they beliove anything can bo gained by treachory, surely this murdor of s gallant oficer and "hiy associntes must suflico, well call for morey toward a tiger, released from his coll and furious for blood, or toward & wmad dog, raging with horrid fangs through a stroot orowdod with poople.

The Proposcd Reloase of Satanta and Big Troe. - Huntaville, Tex, (April 10.), Correspondehce of the New York Herald, The probable action of Gov.

Sanlants, tho chief of four or five Indian tribes, and Big Tree, a sortof Lioutonant to him, have beon confined in the l’mm\sntln'al located at this place since Nov. 17, 1871. 0 facts of their capture, thelr trial, sontenco to be hanged, and the action of Gov. Davls in commuting their sentoucos to lifo in this prigon, w{nur readors are doubtloss fully conversant with alrendy. Bince tho arrival of those chiofs at tho prison, tho most strenuous efforts have been made by . tho tribes to which thoy belong towards their ro- lonso. Those efforts have beon seconded by ofiicors and attaches of tho gonoral Govern- mont, but g0 far in vain, the only result being a visit fo Washington of fhoso two Ohiofs, with tho principal mon of thoir tribos, then gathorod &t Bt. Louis, Satanta came back to the prison feoling very confldent that the ‘ Great Fathor ” at Washing- ton wonld uso his influenco and have him and his Lioutonant pardoned. Ho waa #o cortain of it that he fixed tho ‘“moon " at which he and Bl“ ‘Lreo would rofoin their peoplo, and his ¢ moon is now waning, though the Presidont has re- quested his pardon and that of his eullen broth- ory Big Troo. ‘Thoso two Indians wero caught in one of the many murderous acts which have characterized thoir lives, and the Courts of the Westorn Dis- trict of this Stato procceded to doal with them after tho manner usual in such cases.

From Qur Agricultural Corrcspondent, Omaxearew, 11, April 19, 1873, ‘Wo have now advancoed so far among tho duys of epring that we are onmabled to form some definito opinion In regard to tho orop-prospoot, or at lonst the relativo area that may bo planted. Thoimmenso quantitios of snow and ico to the north of us, and such storms as that in Nobraskn have & modifying offect on the obhorwiso mild spring-dnys that ought to rulo with us, Theso influences have NETARDED THE BPRING, to which hoavy rains have beon addod, and, at this date, but a small por cont of the annual goeding has been accomplished. Wo have had cloudy, falling weather, that has provontod evap- oratlon, and thus tho soil romalns soddon, and 18 not in condition for tho plow. Every farmer knows that to plow clay-land, which is the gencr- al character of our prairio-soils, whon wot and soddon, ng at prosent, 18 NOT FERMISSIDLE, as it simply looks up tho plant-food, and tho orop must prove s failuro. In saying this, w2 must excopt sward-land, whethor raw, unbroken pralrio, or moadow and pasture-land. This ex- coption 18 ono of vast importanco to the farmér, for it makes n crop of corn or of potatoes, of flax ond besns, possiblo, whothor the sonson 18 wot or dry. Somo of tho best cropsof corn that we have grown have boen planted on sward-land, when tho son- son has boen too wot to plow and plant the old lond, T havo eallod attontlon to this fact on previous occasions, but ite importanco at this timo wily warrant & repetition, I have not secn the doc- trino laid down in dny of the books or other pub. lications, but simply learned the truth from per- sonal obsorvation, The . PLOWING OF SWALD-LAND may bo pursued without regard to tho wetness of thosoil. If so wot that the wator will follow the nowly-opened furrow, no harm will bo donos for the soil connot pack or run to- gothor, on mccount of tho immonse mass of roots that keep [t porous, Now that the Indications are for a ralny spring, at loast sufflolently so to retard planting the usual aros, we may have recourss to the fact, that we may in part mako smonds by planting a part of the moadow or pasture to corn, potatoos, flax, or beans. ‘Tho condition of things is about thus : THE SPLING-WIEAT, BYE, AND BARLEY have boon sown, as that work wes done before theso roln-ptorms . set o, the land having been propared last fall, and only required harrowing to cover tho sced, and tho work was done juat as the frost was coming out of tho ground, It roquired some yoars of ox- porienco to prove to tho farmers of the prairie that spring-whoat must be sown at tho time that tho frost leaves the ground, and on land pro- pared for the secding tho provious fall; yot puch was the fact. And now we take anotherlo sson in the managementof sward- Innd, that cannot fail of proving of interest to thoso who havo idlo teams and {dlo mon waiting “for the oultivated flolds to becomo sutliciontly d;a to proceod with the plowing. 'he wheat, thoryo, aud tho barloy have boon wown; DUT THE OATS are yet in the bins, and when wo shall be able to Eec the soad In the ground is rather uncertain ; ut ons thing is cortain : that the soed-time for oants Ia slowly passing away, and, from prosent appoaranco, tho area sown can at best bo small, THEN TIE CORN ia noxt in ordor, and acontiuunnco of the pluyial conditions mny also limit this crop. d wo thon come to addross oursolves to this now con- dition : tho poesibility of broadoning the corn-crop by ocoupying o port of tho mesdow or “tho. pasturc. Can wo do this? may be asked. Of course wo can. In casp tho soson is a wot one, even during the remainder of this month and {n May, there will bo assured ot loast ono-third mors hay than has been tho average yiold por acre for tho past two seasons. In that case, wo may pub ONE-THIRD O¥ THE MEADOY INTO CORX, It we como to a wet baying, ‘and a part of the liay-crop ia lost, wo may fall back on tho corne etalks of that pnrt of the moadow, and thus se- curo ourselves against & loss of forage for wintor. We wil suppose the farmor of 100 acres Las 40 in meadow, 40 In pasture, 40 for corn, and the romaindor in tho smail grains, orchard, highways, oto, We will suppose thut 10 soros of the latter Lias boen sown to whoat, and the other 20 is wait- ing for the sunny days to como to enable tho team to do tho plowing, and they do not come in timo for the uo\vlnf snd must bo passed over for the corn-orop, Lhis givea 60 ncros for corn ; but, 12 tho raln continues to fal,! and tho days to re- maln unfavorablo to cropocation, tho timo for the qlnnung of corn will also pass, and littlo or no p! nnlln% will bedono. Wo lhavo moon this state of thinga reach beyond the middle of Moy before a hill of corn could be planted on tho old 1and, or that whiok had boou om{lpn(l for two or more years, This condition of things must Lo ondured ag best wo may, and, in cago tho stub- ble-land on tho corn-fleld cannot be planted, wo may soed it to grauns, for, under April skics of the kind atatod, we may bo assured of A GOOD OATOI OF ORABH, oven smong the woods aud decnying corn-stalls, ‘Wo may be ablo to pass tho roller over it, and thus pross tho rubbish to the earth, that tho weeda and the grass may atrugglo up togothor. When the woeds are a foot or so in helght, the movwer should chook their rapid growth, and glve tho grasy & chauce to ahow itsolf abovo the stubblo. 'This is about all we can doin & ralny soagon with tho old land, and there is no help for it, and tho toams aud the men nust bo idle, unless other work can bo provided for thom, And it s to the award-land that wo now turn onr attontion in this emorgonoy, As Isaid, wo can plow this land at any time when tho rain is not motually falllng; but, to do this, wa must know just how to do this work, Wa will suppose the farmar to have two teams, or to change work with Lis neighbor with a singlo team, for tmo furrowas aro to be made attho slnglo round, or what we torm TRENCH-PLOWING.

Tho Woman’s Aid Socioty, n recent consolida- tion of the Chicago Ladios' Christian Union and the Industrlal Aid Bocioty, whoso office is at No. 95 Weost Randolph street, will remove to their new quarters on LaSalle strcet, near Randolph, on the 1st of May. The objoctof this Bociety is ono that is very commendablo, and should be botter known, Among tho large influx of popu- tion constantly accruing to the city, a considera~ blo part {8 made up of womon and young girls who come, ns others do, to find employmont Thoy sre honest in thelr infontions, but on ar- riving in the city find that they aro nbsoluto strangors, and tho mattor of finding something to dofs at onco vory difMcult, if not 1nsurmount- able, Thoy know not where togo. No lincs aroc open fo them. Thoy are disappointod and dishonrtened, and are loft to return or do other- wiso, 8 tho circumstances may compel. The rtnmlnnnt objoct of tho Woman's Aid So- cloty ia to nssist ‘this class of persons—to meot their wants as fully as possiblo. All such aro taken nndar tho earo of tho Enciofi{ ot onco (dn np{nlicmon), and if omploymen canuot be givon thom at once they aro provided with temporary homes of good oharacter until omployment is found. A romarkable fact con- nocted with tho Chicago Woman's Aid Bocioty is, that it has noyer yet failed to find umploy'mnn‘ for thoso ecoking itina flln%lu instance, where it has boen songht through this channcl. The wants of tho populaco in thia department should ‘be made known, ns far ag may bo desirablo, to tho Socloty, and this class of persons looking for employmont should bo direoted to this institu- tion, aa the place whora not only information will be gratuitously and heartily givon, but where all neceseary sssitanco will “be provided until employment is found. Tho institution is quite perfoct in its theory, and works very woll in ita practice, and its romoval to more conveniont and enlargod quartors will, no doubt, greatly add to ita usofulnoss, Asido from this objeot, the Bocioty supports, at present, thres Industrial Schools, and omploys a_teacher who divides his timo botsoon the schaols and looking after those who need his nesistance. Two of theso schools aro on the West and tho othor on the North Side, and all are doing welk In thom aro taught los- 8ong, not only of ‘s eocial and domestio char- actor, but of morals and roligion nlso; lossons that, otherwiso, perhapanoverconld or wonld have Doon loarned ; that both qualify tho learner for bettor usefulness and grentor happinoss, Another fonture of the Bocloty is the huldlng‘ atstated intervals, what aré called “ Mothors' Meotings,” the objoct of which is to impart los- Bons of usefulnass, and aid all those in this class ‘who may como within the rango of the Bociety. 1t will bo proposod at tho next monthly moet- ing, which will occur on_ May 8, to look "§ 13 ¢ Homo"” for & training school for girls, and o similar place for working women, in all of which it is hoped they may find euch co-oporation ns will make the object successful. phasiciet o, o g THE TEMPERANCE BUREAU.
