Davis in bis oficial report, dated at his headquarters in this city, respecting the In- dian outrages in Alaska, recites that the Indians who were punished and who were guilty of murder- ing traders belong to a warlike tribe called Kake or Kekeous. They have committed many murders and outrages, but have heretofore escaped punishment. Upon hearing of the recent murder of tradera Gen- eral Davis proceeded in the steamer Saginaw to the neighborhood of the tribe, and finding their village deserted ordered it to be burned. The tribe was much frightened at the summary manner of dealing with them, and they have promised to surrender the murderers, whom the commanding general is de- termined to promptly execute. General Davis does not anticipate any serious trouble, as he feels him- self master of the situation, The Saginaw will be properly fitted out and proceed again to the neigh- borhood of the Kakes to further punish them if the murderers are not surrendered, THE PLAINS. ‘The Indians in Utah Preparing for a Spring Campaign—Disaffection Among tho Indians on Government ReservationsAn Outbreak Expected—The Pacific Railroad.

UGHT AND WHAT TO 00 WITH IT. Lecture by Dr. Reynoldson. A lecture was delivered last night in room No. 24 Cooper Instituté, by Dr. Reynoidson, before a some- what small assembly. Before commencing the lec- ture the Doctorjapologized for the absence of many persons who had promised to be present, but who were prevented from fulfilling their promises by the inclemency of the weather, He then announced his subject as “Light and what he does with it.” The words what he does with it were chosen in order toconvey the idea that every man could do some- thing with the light. Light wasa we thing, but its excess was the very reverse and destructive te life of all kinds. There was a place where the sun- beam could be put A every man, it was not a Fon a ot oe ee ene over . man’s Oral Light ently wielded was a great power, and itenaersco wo Jou aid ge art Jonsense oa vel mesmerism and biack a of 3 much from one another; those that come from Urea Major were strong, walle those emanating from the Pielades were very much more gentle.

The f light was divine love, and it leads to liberty; hence the lecturer's motto was light, life and liberty. When this was understood war would cease and men would live on the face of the earthin peace and harmony until they rose into the brighter light of heaven above, In the course of the lecture, which was very short, not lasting more than half an hour, the Doctor in- troduced a number of anecdotes, and at the conclu- sion stated that he should, in all probability, repeat it at a future day. THE PACIFIC RAILROAD AND iTS MORAL INFLUENCES, Lectare by Rev. W. W. Martin. Rev. W. W. Martin, chaplaia of the Brooklyn Young Men’s Christian Association, delivered a lec- ture last evening in the library of the Young Men's Christian Association, corner of Twenty-second street and Fifth avenue, The audience, though select, was mot numerous, owing, no doubt, to the mclemency of the weather. The Rey. Gorham D. Abbott, author of “Mexico and the United States,” had been announted to deliver the second lecture in the spring course before the Association, bus in consequence of the death of a relative of that genteman Rev. Mr. Mar. tin was substituted and took for his subject “The Pacific Railroad and its Moral Influences.” The lec- turer commenced by saying that only the pathetic side of this great question had been presented to women and children, and not tho facta ana figures connected with the immense material interests of our country, and the projected ratiroads and their influence under Divine Providence demanded that peed person whose \ ie as was adapted to 1t should ume the work passing over the Con- tinent and a i, tural setiastas and etuee otic sclentifio mene an bring back oe eg eh woul un necesai! the work ‘tetore and the and beaconings of oe idence in toit.

The prisoner nas been averse to receiving visite from any repre- sentatives of the press, and has been very reticent in regard to the history of the fatal affair, thinking, ‘as he said, that the newspapers had done him an tn- Justice in coloring the reports of the circumstances of his trial and conviction to such an extent as had been done; but on this occasion he spoke without apparent reserve, and answered the questions asked frecly and frankly with no more hesitation than might be prompted by the consideration of the Weight generally aitached to the statements of a dying man. The prisoner's cell 1s on that side of the male Prison in which those sentenced to the State Prison @re confined, and ita interior has been somewhat brightened by the introduction of a few household mementoes brought by the sisters of the condemned and by his other visitors and spiritual advisers. A little stand at the foot of his bed was neatly spread with @ white covering and contained an ivory craci- fix and-a couple of waxen candles, and upon a shelf at the other end of the room a few books and news- Papers had been arranged. The prisoner tsa man of about thirty-five years of age, of well-knit frame and with a countenance by no means brutal or un- tntelligent, but shaded, as ispnatural, by the weight of his approaching doom, The following 1s his ver- batim statement:— I feel fully satisfied that if the courts and the pub- lic nad been made aware of the terrible and persist- ent persecution I received from officer Smedick 1 would not now be a condemned felon with only one week to live, I never had a quarrel with any police- man in the precinct except him; but he pursued me with deadly hate for nearly two years, as hundreds of persons in the ward can testify. The un- fortunate act which has consigned me to death might have been prevented if he had been arrested in iosaly last, when I preferred a charge of felonious and battery against him before Judge Jones, of the Superior Court, who issued @ warrant in the case, which, forsome reason unexplained to me, was hever executed. I suppose it was not executed be- cause he was a policeman. The immunity from punishment he then secured embittered him ‘against me. He had continual opportunities to vate and assault me, as his beat was not chang: ao he never fatled to take advantage of those o| l- ties, He was not content with clubbing me, Dut he endeavored to incite me to commit crime by prevent- ing me from earning my bread. He followed me wherever he found I wasemployed and he had me discharged; for he told every one from whom I re- ceived work that I was a thief and a rowdy and that he would make it unpleasant for any one to give me anything to do. I endeavored to kee laces secret where I was em} oti coat hast hes ways found them out and sec! The Rev. Father Cloury procured mea a situation 0 on the cars of the Second Avenue Ratiroad, but I was not long on the road when Smedick called on the superintend- ent, Mr. John Smith, and the secretary of the company, Mr. Harvey H. Woods, and he got them to remove me, for he told them that I was @ thief and that they could not trust me. But Captain Allaire and every policeman of the Twenty-first ward know that I never was @ thief, and that I always worked hot for my os He also had me discharged from the East why bond nn cars, where I obtained the posi- hone of conductor fee the influence of Mr. James W. Culver, one of the leading republicans of the Nineteenth ward. In fact, I knew that I could ‘Rot retain any situation long after he found out the place where I was employed. Bnt I suffered all this quietly, for { knew that-as he was a policeman he pone take ves —, to feta we pete ler cl e liked ag: me, and net by word nor my oath would be believed against his, He even attacked me on the night he was killed, till he led me to desperation, and then I fired the fal shot for which, with all the out- rages he committed against me, I am still heartily sorry. At last Iwas driven to seek employment in the revenue service, where I thought he could not reach me, and through the kindness of Deputy Collector Joseph A. Monheimer, of the Eighth district, I was fee pci to watch a barge on which lilicit iene been manufactured, at the foot of Thirty-first street, East river. He followed me over there, and asked to goon the boat, because he said he heard there were women upon ‘tt, and when he came on board he found the stavoment was untrue, uty Collector Monheimer told me to carry a istol, as the owners of the boat might attack me for the purpose of taking oif the whiskey, and that = the reason I carried the pistol. The men found the boat were di rate looking men, as the U Chited States Assistant District Attorney, Mr. Phelps, who saw them when they were broughi ‘vefore Com: missioner Osborn, remarked, lonheimer can vestify to all these facts. Almost every person in the ward knows how bitterly ofMcer Smedick —- me. Mr, David dt pair, of 171 East Thirty-third street, told me that Smedick clubbed a man named Lynch, who lives in the house Mr. Daly owns at the northwest corner of Thirty-third street and First avenue, and whom he had mistaken forane. When he found out his mis- take he carried the man @p stairs and said he was sorry it was not the son of 8 b— Real, but he would get him yet. Captain Alaire and the roundsman of the ward can testify that Smedick was the most overbearing man in the force, and the police books will show that he was brought before the Police Commisstoners on the charge of assaulting a citizen without cause; but Ido not know what disposition was made of the case. I have heard that he clubbed Mr. Twomiley, the fire bell ringer of Twenty-ninth street and Second avenue, badiy at one time, and endeavored to thrust his club down his throat, and asin eyo caused him to be locked uj During last summer he cluobed me several times, and at last | went, by advice of my friends, before Judge Jones, of the Superior Court, and obtained a Warrant for iis arrest on @ charge of assault and battery, As I said before, I do not know why he Was not arrested, unless it was that the deputy sherii to whom eo warrant was given for execu- tion did not like to take a policeman into custody lest there might be trouble jut the matter. I have obtained a copy of the a in the case from the clerk's office, and here they are:— Ate YORE SUTERIOR ny Real, Pi Smedick, De ani o Bernard Magill, tenga resides in the city o! ‘New York: th a saloon in Fi between m ie rs that he third an of gin, 1565, between the in the oon, and while defendant Smedick deal the nw a powersit low. seondueing ot own on the: be piainti® was cond and gave be defendant a apaat't.
