4 CAPTAIN JACK'S BAND. The Peace Powwow Between the Squaws and the Lava Bed Warriors. Faverviow of Sally and Matilda with the Commissioners, SCHONOHES’ WHITE HEART MELTED. Jack Jealous of Power, but Thirsty for Peace and Liberty. The Herald Correspondent at Mill- . tary Headquarters. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25, 1878, A.apectal despatch received this evening from Fairchila’s camp, the headquarters of the Modoc Peace Commission, says that Robert Whittle and Dis Indian wife returned from Captain Jack’s camp on Monday night, it being their second visit. They brought “Modoc Dave’? with them, A band of Cap- tain gack’s men, numbering forty-three warriors, all heavily armed aad carrying needie-guns, met them one mile frem the Java beds. Some of the In- dians had 200 cartridges slung to their persons. Captain Jack still holds the position of Chief. {fidian Dave went back again this morning, with a message that Faircbild, Whittle, Matilda (his wife) and the squaw Artena would, go to-morrow to ar- range for another meeting. The Peace Commission have given strict orders that no members of the press shall accompany them, having determined that there shall be no information given to the public except through their hands, REPORT OF THE SQUAWS, | “When the two squaws returned from their first visit to the lava beds they were taken into a room, to which none of the correspondents were admit- ted. After an hour’s cenference the Commissioners Stated to the correspondents that the Klamath Bquaw had made the following statement:— When she arrived in Camp Modoc all received ber kindly, and said they were glad she had come, They were tired and waiting for talk; they | were out of clethes, out of provisions, and wanted Oe more war. They were ready to wash their hands of blood, Captain Jack and John Schonches, brother of the old chief Schonches, and another were the only speakers, Captain Jack commenced by complaining that the Indians were pitehed into by the military and citizens when they (the Indians) were asieep, They did not intena to trouble citizens, and wanted to fight soldiers. The citizens should not have troubled them, They went to the rocks safely, and the soldiers came and hunted them as if they were cayotes, They did Bot want to live like that, but WANTED THE BLOCKADE RAISED. They were tired ef seeing women come to them. Women did not understand when men lied. He was Chief still. Squire Steel made him a Chief. He did not waat to talk to “Little Eyes’ or to the peeple who had been in the fight. He wanted to see them come in there, They should not be hurt. Be was ready to talk with these men who had come from a long way off. He would like to talk with Judge Rosenborough. John Schonches, brother of the old chief Schonches, now on the Klamath reservation, and one of the surviving Modocs who took part in the Modoc war in the year 1852, then spoke. He said he was very tired of waiting for somebody to come and talk, because he could not go out and talk. He remembered Ben Wright’s treachery. These boys (pointing to the ether Indians) have all grown up since then, He wanted to wash every- body’s hands of blood, and to have all the past buried. He was the oldest chief there, And would control the boys and © bring peace. He was) glad that men had come to talk with him from a_ long way off. Tyes and those who had fought with them he could not talk with. He wanted tosee Mr. Case because he came from a long way off. He wanted tosce Mr. Meacham because he had come from a distance. A man of his name had talked to tim long before and made his heart strong. Since then very much bloed had been spilled. He id not want any more. He had given up all his country but a little place on Lost River, and the soldiers pitched into him there. He had always tried te be friendly with the citizens. The boys got qwild when the soldiers pitched in, and he could net control the boys then, but could now. His heart bad been wild, but was getting better. He thought the wildness will get out of the boys the game way. He liked the talk sent by squaws from the President. All’the people were his children, Ge did aot want them to fight. He felt like being a NEW YURK HERALD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1873—TRIPLE on outside, will remain there unttl he hears what Proposals the Peace Commissioners have to make. There ig very little doubt Jack 1s willing to make terms, but pé is powerless toa certain extent, as the carly-neaded doctor Who le825 the party of Indians that committed all the murders, is strongly in favor of fighting, on the principle that they might as well die in arms as give themselves up and be hanged for murder. Scar-faced Charlie, the Indian that is credited with firing the first shot of the campaign, is also sald to be a strong peace man and a firm supporter of Cap- tain Jack. They have about ten others with them, which leaves nearly thirty-five im favor of fight. It is estimated by the settlers, who have known these Indians for years, that there are about forty-four or forty-five warriors in the lava beds, but they are assisted by seme forty to forty-five old men, squaws and children, The 1atter portion are of consider- able use in such a natural fortification as they oc- cupy at present, a8 any one that can hold a rifle and pull a trigger is equal to ten menon the at- tack, CONVERSATION WITH A SQUAW. Thaa a “‘tatk” the other day with a squaw of the Modoc tribe, who had been in to see Captain Jack. She said that Captain Jack, Scar-faced Charlie and about ten others are in favor of peace, but the rest of the tribe are decidedly against it. It 19 very amusing to listen to the opinions of different People around this section of the country as to the origin of the disturbance, as they are of the most opposite nature, and vary according to the exact locale ef tho informant. When I arrived first at Yreka I received various accounts from persons, but, on the whole, they-appeared of the opinion that the Indians had been treated badly, and that Davis and Fairchild were the prime workers in the entire movement, and rather encouraged war in order to get a good bill out of Uncle Sam, The nearer I approached the region ot the lava beds, on the California side, the stronger became the fecling that the Indians were badly used, but the blame was thrown on the Indian Agent and the Applegate family. A member ofthe latter family, Mr. Jesse Applegate, has been appointed Peace Commissioner, He is a large real estate proprie- tor in Oregon and has considerable Interests in some land lately taken up in this neighborhood under the Swamp or Overflowed Land act. Here iu Oregon the settlers are rather bitter against the Indians, and many of them coolly assert that CAPTAIN JACK WAS ADVISED TO HOLD HIS POSITION at all hazards by Mr. Elijah Steele, a man of high standing in this section of the couatry, but a resi- dent Of XTOka and a friend of the indians, as tar as right and wrong are concerned. There is, how- ever, little doubt that the Indians have been bad). treated, and if the whites had kept faith with them there would have been no disturbance at all. The late Indian Agent, Mr. Meacham, thoroughly understood this Modoc tribe and took some inter- est in their case, 80 far as to forward their claim | to this Lost River slip of land to Washington. From all accounts Captain Jack appears to bea “very square” Indian and he has on several occa- sions returned property to the settlers that some of his trive had stolen, The present Indian Agent, Mr. Odeneal, was evidently misihformed as to the class of Indians he had to deal with when hessent Mr. Ivan Applegate to Major Green for twelve or fifteen men to assist him in forcing Captain Jack and his warriors on to the Yianix reservation, Major Green, however, was a little better posied, and sent Captain Jackson, of the First cavalry, with his troop, THR ACTION OF THE TROOPS onone side o! Lest River and tue gallant Oregon citl- zens on the other has already been fully described and it is generally thought that some warning should have been given to the settlers before making an aggressive movement against these Indians. Tne residents of Liakville, or the bad whiskey sold in that region, are also responstb’e for the reinforce- ment of fourteen picked warriors that Captain Jack received shortly alter his arrival in the lava . If they had not threatened to kill those Indians on sight and frightened Mr. Dyer, the Sub-Agent, out of his wits, Captain Jack ‘would be minus the assistance of Shack Nast Jim, Big Jack, Frank and some eleven others, that are sald to be the bravest warrtors tm the tripe, General Gillem, Colenel of the First cavalry, com- manding the troops in this section; Lieutenant Rockweil, of the First cavalry, Acting Adjutant General, and the HeRaLp correspondent left Dorris’ ranch en the morning of the 7th and arrived here the same day after eleven hours in the — saddle. the General was anxious to have an interview with a Modoc woman ini at the Klamath River ferry, with a view to obtaining her services as interpreter in case of a talk with Captain Jack, we went round that way, giving us about sixteen miles longer to ride. The nearest route by Van Bremer’s ranch to this point is about er aad miles, but by the trail we took round Little Klamath Lake the dis- tance is said to be forty miles. We were ferried across Klamath River, and also Link River, a large stream connecting Klamath Lake with Little Kla- ah Lake, and arrived at the camp about eight LOST RIVER CAMP is at present the headquarters of the army, and yesterday Brevet Major General Frank Wheaton, who has been in chargeue to the pepeens turned over his command to Brevet Major meral Giliem, who now assumes control of operations in this section of the country. It is the intention of Gen- eral Gillem to remove headquarters te Dorris’ ranch or somewhere in that neghberhood, but as definite news arrived yesterday that the Peace Com- missioners are to meet on the 15th no movement of importance will be made until they have trans- acted their business. 1t is the general feeling among the army ofiicers that there will not be an- other shot fired, which is rather a disappointment to them, as they would like to have had another turn at tain Jack, in order to get even for the disaster of the 17th January. Ii there 18 acon- tinuation of hostilities Jack will find it rathera hot place in the lava beds, as shells will be in order and a plentiful supply sent into his Stronghold at Uncie Sam's expense, The attack will probably be made from the Lake, upon a plan 8 ited by Colonel Mason, bi seme float- peace man among his own children. He would wreak the troable as he would break a string in the middie. His mem were coming todo that when treuble came along. He had 4 RED SKIN, BUT A WHITE HEART. is heart was wild while fighting, but the good Qews sent away the wild spirit. He was ready to see the Commissioners at any time and talk with them. He did not want to talk toany more wo- men. They did not understand things. He would be glad when the next messenger came. He would Geet him where grass grows and water runs. He would then arrange to meet the mer from afar off. They could come and not be afraid. He could control his people, but he was afraid the white Wen could net control theirs. His people would henceferth do as they agreed to, but he feared the white men would not. He was not afraid to meet the Commissioners, and they need not be afraid to meet him; thoy should not be hurt; nobody would killthem. He wenton the reservation and was promised a place by the side of Link River Jack, but was removed te Williamson River by Captain Knapp, the agent, and them was removed again @nd put between Klamath, where he had to LIVE ON ROOTS IN THE GROUND. He could see no chance of having a permanent home there, and felt that he might starve to aeath. He dia not want any time wasted in negotiating. ‘The clothes were worn out on their women. When they went to their ranches om the Lost River for roota they returned empty handed. They were scared back. Send the woman Matilda back with &@ messenger and we will come out and talk.

WHY GENRRAL WHEATON WAS RELIEVED. It is pleasant to find that for once the settlers are satisfied with the work of the regular troo; and it is safe to say that there is not one of the volunteers that took me in the fight of the 17th that will not speak enthusiastically as to the cool bravery exhibited by the military. General Frank Wheaton, althou obliged to retire hrough force of circumstances, cannot for the result, be the elements were against him in a perfectly strange country. No man had any t of what lava beds were until that morning, and there are very few that were there then that wantto go in again. Of course, as soldiers they will do their duty, and de it gallantly, but they ali agree it was one of the hottest places they ever struck. The impression that General Wkeaton was relieved of his command on account of incapacity is simply ridiculous, as in truth General Gillem was sent up by General Canby, commanding the Department of the Pacific, because the latter deemed the disturb- ance of suiiicient importance to render necessary the presence of the senior officer on the coast. HOW WILL THE “BIG TALK’ END? Now that the Peace Commissioners are to meet on Saturday, there is considerable anxiety as to what measures they will take, amd What will be the result of their talk. They have a rather dimcuit task before them in order to satisfy both Indians and whites. Justice demands the death of those Indians that murdered the fourteen settlers, but peeers prudence and the interests of the country may disarm the terrible majesty of the law, and preserve those outlaws from the fate they have so richly earned. It is nly improbable that the Indians will make any treaty whatsoever unless assured of a pardon for these aforesaid murderers ; and even should Captain Jack agree to give them up he would be powerless to do so. Itis generaily believed that the administration are in favor of panting their claims to the strtp of land along Lost ver, but it is sincerely hoped that the Commis- sioners will be firm enough to insist on the GIVING UP OF THE MURDERERS at all hazards, as, should they be pardoned and allewed to reside on this Lost River land there could never be any security to settlers living in that section of the country. Men that will commit such effences against the laws of human nature on ene ane @ liable to repeat the offense again Generait Wheaton left here jterday en route for Camp Warner, via Fort Kiamath and Yinax Reservation, but will returm in case of a renewal Of hostilities.

The shooting pavition at Monte Carlo was crowded this afternoon with distinguished visitors from nearly all nations to witness tho competition for the liberal and magnificent prizes presented by the administration of the Monaco Baths, It wit be seen from the soorcs that forty-nine sportemen tried their skill at some of the best biue rocks from Lincolnshire, at thirty yards’ rise, with the use of both barrels, and that the four prizes were carried off by Englishmen, The firat consisted of e beauti- ful fower-stand, supported by the Throe Graces, and 6,975 franca; the secend best man received 4,065 francs; the third, 2,975 francs, and the fourth, 1,885 francs. At the close of the tenth round a tie Was declared between Mr. J. Joe, & popular member of the Hurlingham and Gua Olub, and Mr. Arundel Yeo, each having kitled nine, In shooting off, Mr. Yeo's fell dead just outside the boundary in frent of the centre trap, and Mr. Jee’s got away feathered. Mr, Yeo failed to stop his second bird, a ‘high flyer, and Mr, Jee’s flying fatally hit to the wire fence, against which it struok, fell dead, and insured Mr. Jeo's success. Of course Mr. Yeo took the second prize, and the third was secured by Mr. Henry Rae Reid, who alone killed 8 out of 10. For the fourth prize @ tie was declared with Mr. A. J. W. Martin, Mr. F, Norris, the Duks of Hamilton, M. Pinatel, ana the Marquis Caumont de la Force. Tho last three named sportsmen missing their first tie birds, leit Mr. Martin and Mr, Norris to fight it out. The first named gentleman, who shot quickly and in good form, stopped halt a dozen in succession and won, it. Norris, WhO made some good seconds, failed to kill his sixth bird, In the first round Baron Vam Merck’s bird fell within the enclosure to the report of hia gan, but got up on being approached by the gatherer, and struggled outs.de, to fa.l into the Medite: joan. ‘The Prince Louis Esterhazy’s also fell dead outside, In the second round Messrs. Henry Rae Reid, Hobson, Robbins, Herbert, Comte Kinski, Marquis Caumont de 1s Force and Baron St. Clair also lost dead birds, while Prince Esterhazy’s gun, not being loaded, the bird was declared lost. Iu the third round Colonel Wheatley, Prince Fs- terhazy, the Marquis Jaraczlovski and Mr. Hob- son’s fell dead immediately after passing the wire fence, and Mr. Herbert's flew, fatally struck, over the sea, into which It fell, Sir Charles Logard lost his fourth bird, which dropped dead just over the pavilion, and in the fifth round the bird flown Jor the Duc de Castries pursued a similar course, while Baron Van Merck's fell into the sca Just out- side, Captain Srelley’s sixth bird also :ell imme- diately on topping the fence, as did that trapped for the Marquis Jaracalovski, In the seventh round Mr, Thompson made & quick and good second, but. Mr. Jeo’s struggled outside to die. In the eighth round Captain Shelley was again un- fortunate by killing and losing, as was the Comte de Ferriere; and in the ninth.and tenth rounds Captain Nevile killed, but failed to score. At tne end of the fourth round Sir William Call and Comte de Ferriere looked well, but the win- ners improved their shooting, and after some good shooting, considering the long distance at which the birds were own, the event was brought to a satisfactory close. ‘The weather, like that of the first day, was delightfully fine.

The National Religious Constitu- tional Convention in Seasion at the Cooper Institute, ING. o PIOUS PALAVER Tho Noble Framers.of the Republic Criticised and Dissected. HISSES AND PLAUDITS Resolutions Strong in Words and Smooth in Rhetoric. — ee THE SCRIPTURES IN THE SCHCOLS. Eloquent and Harnest Oratorical Efforts by Delegates in the Afternoon and Evening Sessions. The ninth annual convention of the advocates of the religious amendment of the constitution— namely, the insertion of a clause relating to the recognition of God—was begun yesterday alternoon in the great hall of the Cooper Institute. About five hundred people were present, large number, not being delegates and coming from mere curios- ity, forming the seditious portion of the assem- blage. Among those who were apparently repre- sentatives were several ladics, with faces con- spicuonsly marked by intellect and piety. Un- doubtedly the extreme radical school of morality of the country was well represented, whether, as 18 believed by the majority of the people, their opinions are those of fanaticism or not. Among the foremost seats were several colored delegates, two ladies and two gentiemen, one of the latter having hair and beard fringed with gray. They attracted considerable attention. Scattered throughout the house might be seen a surprising number of white-crowned and venerable heads, whose snowy coronals lent to the sober body an air of great sagacity and dignity—appearances which are not of small value, because of the im- pression which they commonly produce upon un- sophisticated minds, THE CONVENTION OPENS. At half-past two the congregated and clerical- looking representatives of the great moral senti- ment of intolerance began to grow impatient of sedate Idiencss, and the magnates of the Conven- tion, who were basking in their own glory in the committee room, were reminded emphatically, by repeated and loud stamping of foet, that it would be well for them to appear upon the platiorm and show their seraphic faces to the light and the throng. Out of tenderness, it was whispered, for their reputations for promptitude—a godly virtue— they accordingly came forth amid feeble applause and took their places, Mr. John Alexander, of Philadelphia, who is a tall, elderly gentleman, wearing black clothes and two pairs of gold-bowed eyeglasses, walked to the desk, with @ great ivory-headed cane under his arm, and called the Convention to order. As he then announced, the Rey. Dr. Milligan delivered an appropriate prayer. COMMITTEES. The following Committee on Enrolment of Dele- gates was then appointed to examine the creden- tials of all persons claiming to be such, and to admit others, as it might be desirable, who had not those qualifications:--The Revs. J.

A committee on permanent organization was then appointed, comprising the following gentle- men:—The Revs. A. J. Kenyon, Alexander Cal- houn, Alpheus ©. Bolt and J. J. Stanwix, COMMON LAW RECOGNIZING CHRISTIANITY. They retired and the temporary Chairman of the Convention then introduced the general Secretary of the Nattonal Association, the Rey. Dr. McAilis- ter, who delivered a long and argumentative ad- dress. He advocated the incorporation of Chris- tianity into all the constitutions of our coun. uy, He referred to the words of Daniel ebster to the effect that our fathers founded this government in religion, morality and liberty. Was it not true that that religion which prevailed throughout the country should have an acknowledgement in the constitution ? When it was considered that the Bible had been in the public schools for so long a time, that prayer was said by Christian ministers in our legislative bodies, when the Christian Sabbath was enforced by law, why should not Christianity be acknowl- edged in our statutes? Judge Jamieson had said that a written constitution was an attempt to translate the unwritten or accepted and preva- lent constitution into legal language, and should be as literal a translation as was pos- sible, It should represent the moral jerees which at the period have the strongest existence mthe public mind, At this time the strongest force operating in the werld was that of Christi- anity. (Applause.) But the theory that was now becoming prominent was that the government had no connection with religion, and that Christianity sheuld be put upon a level with all other religions— | infidelity, Judaism, paganism and | with atheism, apacy. At One time it was decided in the Courts in relalion to any Sunday laws that Christianity was a part of tae common law of the land. In later cases inthe State Supreme Courts exactly the opposite rulings were made. RELIGION AND CIVIL GOVERNMENT. According to one construction of the constitu- tion we had it staied that civil government has nothing to do With with Christian religion; but, ac- 4 but was the sentiment of the American , 1B PILGRIM FATHERS ment, the constitution of which the phrase, “In ¢ igs of God, Tho Prisciples ‘Oxpressed in this docu. ‘were to be found in those afterwards formed ites. ‘The Continental Con, ok eas On phi) pointed a day of fasi and prayer. 6 In endence was a of the world. af institution refers to the provi- & of Ged.

(Applause) As the distinct assertion st tree. dom of conscience was essential to of liberty, 80 the acknewledgement of religion was also essen! to the endurance of morality, (Applatise,) The speaker continued in pte mig at considerable length and closed with applause, e Committee on Enrolment reported that there were 266 delegates present, representing fourteen States, A gentleman moved for the. privitene. of free dis cussion of the points of argument introduced by the speakers, aud the proposition, amid was referred to the Executive Committee. The committee to prepare resolutions was then appointed, consisting of the following gentiemen ;— Revs. John Edwards, D.D.; A. A. Miner, L. 3. Ter- ty, T, BP. Stevenson and Messrs. H. D. Maxwell and John Davidson. A CANCER IN THE BODY POLITIO, Rev. Dr. E. Craven then delivered an address on “The Religious Defect of the Constitution.” In op he mado two assumptions—That a per- sonal God exists and that the Bible is a record of His revealed will, (Hisses and applause). Let us not forget, said he, in the midie of his ad- dress, that our civil war arose from divisions con- cerning the constitution. God, after he had chas- tised us, removed the chastisement. One of the effects of that war was that it brought the people to the feet of God. Would it not be well for us, re- cognizing as we do, individually, that we are his subjects, to acknowledge in the constitution that the nation, as a whole, is his subject. I believe that there is @ cancer in our body politic. (Ap- plause and hisses.) There is a defect in our con- stitution which, unless corrected, will bring down upon us the vengeance of an insulted and offended God, (Applause.) ADJOURNMENT. At the close of Dr. Craven’s address, the Conven- tion adjourned until half-past seven in the evening. Evoning Session. A considerably larger number of persons was. assombiéd at half-past seven o'clock in the Cooper Institute than there had been in the aiternoon. About one-third of the audience were ladics, who manifested strong interest im the questions dis- cussed. The President, Mr. Brunot, was in the chair, A well known adventurer and bad writer sat conspicuously below the platiorm among the re- porters, and took immense pleasure in interrupting the speakers with remarks of his own which were scarcely either relevant or sensible. The Rev. Dr. ‘tyng opened the proceedings with an eloquent and fervent PAO The Rev. Dr. McIlvaine then began his address, which had been advertised on the programmes which were ia circulation through the house. He dwelt emphatically upon the irreligious condition of politics. Men would be guilty of breaches of morality in political lite of which they would not be guilty 1 private life, The separation between the ‘That He was ¢ne source Of civil power tn was not only in accordance with the two was a sword which cut both ways. This led him to thimk why the word “God’’ had been left out of the censtitution. * He did not believe that ita framers were infidels or deists or Mbertines, They did it in order that there might not come again the demoralizing in- fluence of the unton of Church and State. You know very well that we are not in danger of any such event. We would do our utmost, would sac- rifice our lives to prevent it. (Appiause.) But, when you have separated politics and religion in ordex to keep the latter pure, how are yeu to keep pure the former? (Laughter.) He earnestly con- tended for the principle that the nation as such had its relations to the God which created it, and upon whom its life depended. THE NATION 18 THE CREATURE OF GOD. (Applause.) It owed to Him gratitude and obedi- ence, When these were denied, when we failed in our national acts to recognize our obligations, we sinned and degraded ourselves. The difference could not last long if things continued to go as they now seemed to be going. There was no coun- try in the world in which the political sphere of life filled so large a space as tn ours. Con- sequently @ greater number of persons are deeply interested in political matters than any- where else. Political ideas theretore had a wide influence. If our political life were immoral, how long would it be before eur private lite would be just as immoral? It seemed the most preposter- ous thing ever undertaken to administer the affairs of a great nation under a constitution which makes no mention of God or His authority. He wanted to see it changed, and believed it woud be changed, because the people would rise up as one man and secure this reform. ONE SIDE OF A GREAT QUESTION, The Rey. Dr. Tyng was then introduced, and sald of the Convention :— _«t Was called to consider one side of a great question as its own and the other side as antago- mistic to itself, 1t was, therefore, a meeting of pro- fessed Christians as if they were brought together forunited prayer. (Applause.) He should call it agathering oi men of one idea, but who wanted no others. Ue could not refuse to join& move- ment so periectly sure at last to be the greatest triumph ever happening in this country. (Ap. plause.) All that could be said against it was derision, objections and sneers. Some would say it) was 4 mistake on the part of our forefathers to omit the men- tion of God, as they have done, but a mistake which it would do more harm than good to correct. He bad but to say that that was an objection comag from below, and not from abeve. (Laughter.) He was on the side of the great, all- Wise, paternal, governing and joving Bei when- ever, Wherever, however He should manifest his presence or his voice. If any man should say that there was no God he would have nothing to do with him. ie would avoid him with as much cau- tion and horror as that beautiful but deceptive animal of his New England home, the very smell of which was repnisive enough. (Laughter and applause.) Le belonged to THE GOD-IN-THE-CONSTITUTION PARTY. He was not exactly suited by the propositions which he had seen laid out for the party to fulfil. He had, however, no misgiviag upon this subject. Immediate success was never the result of glori- ous, fresh and startling principles, They grew, and sometimes took centuries in their growth. They were not there in the belligerent character of seck- ing to compel the government to change the con- stitution, They were there merely as imends of a | | Movement which they meant persistently to present to those whose power . it | was to accept or reject. He had had | cording to another and the vital interpretation, | the civil government has much to do with Chris: tlanity. hile there had been a great deal of mis- po aa ai of their aims, the friends of this pee ical Movement Were greatly encouraged when hristians understood, as they were beginning to understand, that im fighting for this reform they were opposing the enemies of Christianity, they would come forward to jein in this movement with eagerness and zeal. THE GREAT C, M, When men in Congress could be guilty of crim- inality, as in the last jour weeks we had known they can be, it was time to put into the consticu- tion a standard of Christian morality. (Applause.) We wanted a new system or Civil Service—a reform | delity was a puddie and purity was an ever-bub- which would not vounienance men who were cor- | rupt, who toek bribes, but would enable the peo- ple to put them out of positions which they had lisgraced. (Applause.) PERMANENT ORGANIZATION. The Committce on Permanent Organization here reported the names of the following officers, which were warmly applauded :—F, R. Brunot, President; Joun Alexander, of Pennsylvania ; John Davidson, of New ert . D. Maxwell, of Pennsylvania; Alpheus C, Bolt, of New York; the Rev. A. A. Miner, of Massachusetts; L.

Mr. BrUNoT, @ tall gentleman, with long white hair, was greeted by applause, and in a speech expressed his thanks for the honors conferred They had met, he said, not as repre- sentatives of any political or religious society or Darty, but as citizens who united to support the great fundamental law which underlies all true civic and domestic morality. They believed that the religious amendment to the constitution was essential to the preservation of our liverties, No human work was ever at its origin absolutely perfect, mor was the constitu- tion an exception. The great men who framed it recognized this fact when they provided for its amendment. In serving God we should serve our country, They assembied for a legitimate and patriotis purpese. Dr, Wines had said that ment in State and Church was of God. The law of nature was the law of nations, and the law of nature was but the law of God. Blackstone said that man must be subject to the law of his Creator. Plato declared that all laws came from God; no mortal man was the deviser of law. If any truth couid be establisned by the urrence of human authorities ‘this then must ¢ established. This view of the first origin of law was not inconsistent with the proposition that all power of goverhnigat should inherent in the people. But if this assertion were made without Telerence to God it would pe ‘aise.

He was a descéndant of Puritan blood. le was & man of one idea, Hie looked .orward to the day when the dear and gra- | cious Saviour should reign in all the glory of a re- | deeined and consecrated carth—(applause)—and he called upon them to realize always that inf- bling spring.

Times, Feb. 16.) Recently the New YORK HeRALp sent Mr. James J. O'Kelly to Cuba, to ascertain the real situation of affairs in that island, the extent, character and re- sources of the insurgents, and the prospects of their success or failure. The H&RALD’s Commissionerom applying to General Morales, commanding the Spanish army, for permission to pasa the Spanish lines, was toid by that oficial that he might pasa, but if subsequently found among the insurgents, or if he again appeared within the Spanish lines, he would be treated as a spy and shot immediately. To this threat of Morales the HeraLp replies:—“It the HERALD Commissioner receives any injary at your hands without violating the laws of yeur country, you will be held to a strict accountability, and will be made to suffer the penalty of tho out- Tage, not in the island of Cuba alone, but on every fnoh of soit that-owes-allegtance to the Spanials flag.” The HERALD, after explaining the object of Mr. O’Kelly’s mission and showing that it is entirely just and proper, assumes that the American peo ple will sustain it in its respense to Morales, and says:—“The American press is stronger than the American government; it is the representative and mouthpiece of the American people.” With- out entering into the merits of the international issue between the HeRratp and Spain, we hold that there is an absolute truth embodied in the words just quoted—a truth which Is applicable to all truly representative governments in this enlightened age. The legislative power has become dwarfed by @ new and greater power; it is no tonges the master, it is the slave. Twenty years ago Mr. Herbert Spencer—all. of whose theories, though carried to impracticable extremes, are based upon practical truths—said:—“It bids air to become a trite remark that the lawmaker ts but the servant of the thinker, per is states~ craft held in less repute.” Whether Mr. Spencer at that time divined the power wiich was operate ing the remarkable change in governmental agen- cies then so clear, and which has sfnce become still more evident, he does not say; butcer that power cannot now be mistaken, standin, forth, as it does, in its herculean proportions an¢ speaking trumpet-tongued in every city, village and hamiet—the press. Those who have studied history as something more than the mere record of sieges and battiea and dynasties, and who will contrast the legisiation of the past cra with that of the present, cannot fall to observe tat then, legistation organized and con- trolled, retarded or advanced society and all tta maniiold interests, while now socia! changes and the stages of ProRress are controlled and determined by the apparently spontahcous workings of socicty, and not by tie policies ef kings and presidents, nor by the enactments of Parliaments and Sen- ates. But those workings which seem to be spon- taneous are prompted, organized and guided by an intelligent, vigilant aud untiring agency- constitute that mighty and irresistible force whicl shapes the destinies of peanies, and which is the creature of “the Lie ales 2 lic opinion. Whatever of evil and whatever of good there are in the political workings of Engiand and America, to-day are due to the press, and as that institution how controls the politics of England and in less than a quarter of a century it will cont those of Rermany, France and Spain, Its influ- ence organized the vast railroad rit which re- cently threatened to subvert every other interest in the country; its sagacity discovered the Orédis. Mobilier swindle, the Senatorial system of bribery and jobbery; and its power forced an expose aud brought the railroad rings and such corruptionista as Harlan, Pomeroy, Colfax and their com) w its feet.

Each GT press speaks to its millions, and every journal has its regular datly congregation, who ere ts people; who look to it for news and information; who learn to think and feel with it, and who are fully posted by it on every issue long ere the stump speaker appears among them. That there are venal journals, ashame and & curse to the land, is coral, munity that builds up in its midst, bya patronage, @ bold and independent By Tr, s00m nds itself moving forward under the influences of @ well organized, vigorous and progressive public opinion. Such communities find themselves en rapport with the spirit of the age; they find rail- roads gravitating toward them as if by some mys- terious influence ; their trade imereasing; new peo- ple settling peat them; new buildings arising in their midst; their town and parish everywhere talked of as @ growing city or a productive region, and, finally, they find their Legislature consulting their interests, and shaping legislation according to their views, And this is atl because they have an independent press to talk for them. ART MATTERS. Bronzes at Tiffany’s. Reference is due to two statuettes in bronze, at Tiffany's, modelled by M. Emile Guiilemin, and sug- gested by two figures among & group of gladiators in Gerome’s celebrated painting. M. Guillemin, whe is_still quite young, has achieved a peculiar reputa- tion abroad, where his admirers mention him as the ‘‘Meissonter of bronzes.’’ Hitherto ke has almost exclusively confined himself to small but highly finished figures in silvered bronze. The statuettes which are the subject of the y notice are the largest he has yet executed. Only two sets are in existence—the one now at Tiffany’s, which belongs to Mr. John Hoey, and one in the ossession of the Minister des Beaux Arts ef france. The original group in the painting which furnished M. Guillemin with his idea, is an iilustra- tion of the sentence “Ave Cesar, imperator! mort- turi te salutant” aaa Cesar! those that are about to die salute thee”), with which the gladia- torial combats were introduced. Each figure ie About two fect high and faultless in execntion. ; One of the gladiators bears the name Retiarius and the other Mirmillo, each name being indicative of the weapon or the mode of combat made use of. Thus Retiarius bears on one shoulder a net, with which he mtends to envelop his adversary, and Mirmilio brandishes a style of hyde culiar to one of the tribes of ancient Gaul. The figures are nude, with the exception of a waistcioth, and the men’s faces and attitudes are full of that stolidity ee belongs to animal courage, ruthlessly trained, Mr. Kruseman Van Elten. Every now and then some amiable foreign artist, who has lived among us just long enough to create a phalanx of American friends and admirers, takes | it into his head to revisit his native land, with the prospect of spending his remaining years there. Only a few weeks ago Mr. Brevoort gave his valedictory sale, and now here is Mr. Kruseman Van Elten, grown so sated with New York ad- muiration as to snatch at the idea of returning to his Beigian birthplace. New York has not sucha superfinity of good artists that she can afford to lose any who, like Mr. Van Elten, have made their mark, It matters little te those who havo fol- lowed with attention the progress of this painter's brush that he is an academician of | the National Academy of New York and » member of the Royal Acadewy of Amster- dam; that Holland gave him a gold medal in 1800, and that he enjoys honorary meinbershtp of the Rotterdam Academy and the Belgian Water Color Socicty, People here have come to value him more for what he has done among them tham for 2 traditional merits imputed to him.
