The Modoc War—Our Correspondent’s | rations and the agents pocket the price whilo Interview with Captain Jack. It is inexpressibly refreshing to turn from the wearying front of Crédit Mobilier knavery and the fatiguing farce of its trial in Congress to the manly doings of Captain Jack. Senator Nye, of Nevada, has said that ‘the country is sick of these investigations,” and so it is. We must take the Senator's word for it. He is such an honest, conscientious, scrupulous, dignified, and, above all, such a moral man that we are fain to believe him. The country is sick of seeing fraud exposed, but never punished, of seeing such a polished ornament of Congress as “Jim’’ Nye shrug his shoulders and utter words worthy of an ex-convict. Thieves are long ago sick of having their conduct investigated, and receivers and receivers’ friends hold'asimilar opinion. Itis refreshing, indeed, to turn from the close, foggy corrup- tion-laden air of Congressto take in a draught of the bracing Californian atmosphere, where Captain Jack, in his lava beds, bids defiance to Indian agents and other robbers and despoil- ers of his simple rights. In another part of the Henarp will be found the despatch from our special correspondent at the seat of the Modoc war, vividly describing his experience of the Indian stronghold and also his interview with the Modoc leader, Captain Jack. The feat which he has accomplished is no inconsiderable one, and will remain as arecord of that daring which is peculiarly the attribute of the Hznaxp correspondent in the pursuit of his duty, The instances where an exercise of similar dash and tact is called for nearer home in the Hxnaup's service are many; but it is not often that they can boast of such surroundings as those which make the Heratp correspondent’s work among the Modoes verge towards genuine heroism. It will be recalled that Mr. Meacham, in charge of the Peace Commission arrangements, strenuously objected to the presence of a HERALD correspondent in the company of those deputed to seek. Captain Jack and arrange for a meeting and council between the whites and the reds. It may here be remarked that what followed justified in a great meas- ure the disiike of Mr. Meacham to newspaper men going among the Indians. Captain Jack and his friends had, in fact, much to say of Mr. Meacham that the latter would be far from happy to see made public. It would, thought Mr. Meacham, be the correct plan to tell the Henatp correspondent that all the information good for anything should filter through him. It probably entered dimly into Mr. Meacham’s mind that he could play the Morales réle with our correspondent in Cuba, and with better effect. It was a miserable failure, however, like the terrifying effort of his prototype. The Heratp correspondent could not see that Mr. Meacham had power to interfere with his going and coming, and so he took counsel of his own common sense to carry oul his mission. By diverting suspicion from his movements he was enabled the next day to trail the footprints in the snow made by the deputed settlers and squaws on their way to the lava beds. He overtook the party just as they had entered the Indian territory and was soon in the presence of the man he had travelled four thousand miles to see. It is not every day that the Modoc cliief could expect the honor of a visit from ao Henraxp correspondent, and he and his braves appeared deeply touched by the attention which our representative’s presence made manifest. They senta messenger post haste to the wikkiup of Modoc Dave, where our correspondent had his temporary headquarters, requesting his assistance and presence in the weird recesses of the council cave. There he heard their, stories, their plaints, their resolves and their desires, and had from the terrible Captain Jack himself the sad history of their treatment by the agents, military and settlers, who tried to make life as miserable for these children of poor Lo as possible. The victor of the terri- ble battle of the 17th ult., speaking in his im- pregnable fortress, which the God of the Uni- verse made thousands of years ago for his use, had no particular exultation to indulge in. ‘There was, to be sure, a strain of fine sarcasm in his saying that it was his desire to ‘‘gas’’ before fighting, rather than after it, as the white men now proposed. It was, ro doubt, in | a similar spirit that he regretted Mr. Meacham’s dislike to travelling in the lava beds. He did not like Meacham; for to him Meacham was a man with two hearts and two tongues—in other words, a treacherous friend, and, there- | fore, the thing of all things objectionable to an Indian. That the tribe was moved three times from place to place in the Winter season, left without a supply of food, and only given half a blanket each, with none for the squaws or children, are certainly facts deplorable in themselves. The right of an Indian to his reservation until he is moved from it by proper treaty or legislative means is the base of the present peace policy; but three movings in the Winter season are the very negative of this. Moreover, that they were swindled by rascally Indian agents is clear, if their story is true. Half a blanket each for the men, and none for the women and children, and their being compelled to eat their horses, and dig in the hard, frosty soil for edible roots, show that their itemin the Indian Appropriation bill has not gone to its proper object. Proba- bly the bank accounts could, in their plethoric condition, explain how the poor Indian was vexed and harassed before he took up arms. Tt is important to observe, too, that the In- dians claim distinctly that in the first fight on Lost River the violence was commenced by the whites. Our correspondent, in summing up the case, believes that the Indians have been badly treated. The Californians, it appears, have been able to get on very well with the tribe, most of the dissatisfaction and annoyance growing out of the meddling of the Oregonians. The Indians have no objection to going on a reser- vation where they can live and be let alone. The position which the Hrratp has held on this Indian question is certainly not one look- ing to the encouragement of fighting and scalping propensities among the Indians. We have advocated the means proposed by General Sheridan for the settlement of such difficulties over and over again. It is, therefore, without any suspicion of sentimental fondness for the Indian that we call on the government to do justice to the Modoc tribe. If the country pays for the blankets of the tribe and if the value of three out of four goes into the pockets of swindlers, it is some- thing to be remedied. If the country pays for tho natives dig for roots and éat their horses, the government should enforce honesty. If the Modocs were harried and driven hither and thither in the depth of Winter and shot at for not stbmitting cheerfully, can they bo blamed very severely for whipping their op- pressors? Our correspondent indicates that the Peace Commission is likely to prove a fail- ure if its present pretensions are kept up. Captain Jack, at latest accounts, had pro- posed a place and condition of meeting with th@Commissioners for the purpose of making peace. His reasons for objecting to Meacham 8 One of them will be plain to those who rend our special despatch. If Meacham has proved himself untruthful to the Indians in the past he should’ not be forced upon tho Council. Captain Jack asks for peace. The Commission is formed with that object, and before the nexotiations, already in such a doubtful position, aro allowed to give way once more to bloodshed, President Grant should interpose his authority to see that the conditions of pence are not made such as it will be impossiblo to compass. These Indians profess a desire to live at peace on a reservation. The govern- ment promises to feel and clothe them if they do. It is evident, in the continued movings and swindlings, that none of these pledges have been kept. Serious injustice has been done to the Modoc tribe. President Grant is the patron of the peace policy: let him see to it while there is yet time that his agents do not make it the handle to wage a useless, costly and bloody war. Our voice on this side of the question has the more weight that we do not advocate the silly sentimentalisms of the flannel waistcoat school. The nation is strong enough todo justice even to Captain Jack, Trururut, Hoax.—Hoax never told a lie, says Saint Benjamin. Of course not. When Ames said, during the campaign, that neither Jolfax, nor Wilson, nor Dawes, ner Patterson, nor anybody else had been Mobilierized he told the truth. When he said, during the in- vestigation, that all these had had their little “rake” of Crédit Mobilier he told the truth also. Ingenious Ben ! The Spanish Appeal for Recognition, The Spanish republican government is be- coming officially uneasy in consequence of the policy which is being observed towards the Spanish nation under its new, or renewed, system of democratic régime. The non-recog- nition of the Republic by the surrounding Powers—the absence of official notice— perplexes the Madrid Ministry and, ap- parently, impedes its progress towards Cabinet consolidation and the perpetuation of the Ex- ecutive. Minister Castelar has undertaken to remonstrate with the Crowns and constitu- tional sthtesmen. He goes further than re- monstrance; he urges and argues. He has just addressed a circular to the outside foreign ralers. Dispensing with couriers, the Madrid Minister utilized science to the service of the people, and telegraphed his missive to the thrones. His base of argument is that the European Powers, having recognized the Spanish revolution of 1868, they cannot refuse similar action in the instance of the Republic of 1873, the present being the *Jogical consequence’’ of the former, now that ‘royalty has abdicated.”’ Sefior Castelar pledges himself for the peaceful consequences of the new mission of Spain. ‘The Spanish Republic will not,’ he says, “be a brand of discord in Europe” —a sentence which goes far to confirm the suspicion that the royalties had already hinted fears of such a result. ‘For- eign nations,’’ he again asserts, ‘should not demand of the Spanish government energetic action while they withhold from it their moral support;” and in this the Minister reveals the fact that the people of Spain have not gathered that robust strength of citizen man- hood which enables enfranchised freemen to maintain their sovereign independence as a unit. Castelar's memorandum, which will reach most of the Courts during the present day, will bring the matter of the governmental status of Spain to an issue, and its discussion may produce very important results The latest from the field in Spain is not encouraging to those who hope for peace in that country. Ollo, the famous Carlist chief, is marching, at the head of a powerful band, towards Navarre. Dorregaray, another insurrectionist chief, has issued an order directing the municipalities to send all their young men to join the Carlist force. Pampe- luna, the chief city of Navarre, is threatened by a powerful force of Carlists. General Pavia is hurrying to the relief of the garrison of that city. As yet the Carlist trouble is con- fined to the Northern provinces. Amid all the confusion which now prevails it is gratifying to note the fact that the military commanders, although in some instances required to change their commands, continue faithful to the existing government. Out of the chaos which now reigns in Spain order may yet emerge; but for the present the prospect is the reverse of promising. European Tax Goon Kener is made of God and pig iron. He wouldn't keep his little ‘‘rake.”’ “Tue Spanish Repvsiic seems to have seen the light under an unlucky star,’ says the Boston Transcript. There has not been a shower of republican meteors in Europe lately, although the Republic of France has risen, meteor-like, as it were, in the political firma- ment. Everrnopy Kyows that Brooks is of divine manufacture, He gave his “rakes” to his son-in-law. Tae Kryp or Men Ratsep 1x Massacav- setts, General Butler said, in his speech during | the Crédit Mobilier discussion in Congress, were such as his friend Oakes Ames is. He said this exultingly, and we imagine we see him pointing to Ames with a dramatic atti- tude while uttering this sarcastic truth. The re- porter says there was laughter in the House. No doubt all must have been struck by the fitness and application of the expression. Herein lies the evil which has worked so much corruption in Congress and the government, and that makes General Butler the ardent defender of Oakes Ames. It is: Massachusetts morality and the kind of men raised in that State that have demoralized the government and country since the war commenced. General Butler, unconsciously, perhaps, never said anything more truthful. Garrity is a God-mado man, He had his littl ‘“‘rake,’* The End of the Credit Mobilier Farce im the House of Representatives. The melancholy farce has come té a conclu- sion—the long agony of the House over the Crédit Mobilier scandal is over, and the groaning and trembling mountain, from its painful labor, has been delivered of its little ridiculous mouse. For the last three days from tho learned expounders of the law in the House we have had a bewildering exhibition of the legal accomplishments of Quirk, Gammon Snap and of the virtues of Pecksniff, and of patriotic indignation, maudlin expressions of charity, ingenious quibblings, bold defiance, oily hypocrisy and false pretences; and, with the boiling down of all these and other ingredients of the witches’ caldron into the resolutions adopted by the House, we have the pitiful compromise adopted between ‘the demands of public justice, public opinion and public duty on the one hand, and of paltry, personal and party con- siderations on the other. A moro adroit and systematic gamo of trickery in all ita parts than this it would be difficult to find outside the Senatorial elections of Kansas or the in- trigues and devices of the belligerent factions contending for the State government of Loui- siana. In the outset the Poland Investigating Com- mittee tried the experiment of conducting its examination of this Crédit Mobilier business with closed doors; but this old Star Chamber device threw such a cloud of public suspicion over the affair, as a whitewashing contrivance, that the doors were opened and tho testimony of yitnessess from day to day was gone into, ventilated and circulated by the public press. Hence, from the astounding disclosures before the committee of bribery and corrup- tion, involving various members of Congress, there came from all quarters of the Union such manifestations of the public sentiment concerning these demoralizing transactions that the House needed no further illumination in reference to its duty as a body representing the sovereign rights and will of the American people. But with Judge Poland’s report and his resolutions proposing only the expulsion of Oakes Ames and James Brooks, the evi- dences of party juggling were appar- ent. With Butler's proposed judi- ciary substitute it was clear that the leading idea of the House was “how not to do it’’—how to vindicate the honor and dignity of the House without hurting any- body. The two scapegoats proposed by Poland—one for the republicans and one for the democrats—were a neat contrivance, but it was too thinly disguised to answer the pur- pose. Butler's proposition was too audacious; but Sargent’s, as a compromise, embracing a general verdict against these Crédit Mobilier abuses and a special and ‘absolute’ condem- nation of Ames and of Brooks, without really hurting anybody, met the idea and the wishes of the majority, and so the dignity and honor of the House were vindicated, and so this wretched farce is ended. We presume, how- ever, that the American people will yet have something to say on this subject, and, perhaps, their judgment may be heard even in the approaching New Hampshire and Connecticut elections, Borp Ben Buruer declares he is made of God, not of vile newspaper men. How beau- ful are the works of God! Another Lamentable Fire in Bostom Boston has again been scourged by fire. This time she has suffered most severely in loss of life. While her brave firemen were gal- lantly endeavoring to check the flames, which threatened an extensive conflagration, a thin, weak wall, against which their ladders were placed, tottered and fell, precipitating several members of the department into the blazing ruins, where they were orushed and burned. Three are named as already dead. As many are missing. Several are reported proba- bly fatally injured, and the balance, making about twenty, fortunately but slightly harmed. This disaster will call forth universal sympathy for the sufferers, and sorrow for those whom it has carried beyond the reach of earthly sympathy. It should not fail to teach a lesson as well as awaken regret. We build weak walls in New York. Let the fate of the heroic dead of the Boston Fire Department stimulate our officials charged with the preven- tion of unsafe building to a more thorough and scrupulous discharge of their duty, and let it teach our architects and builders that precious lives may be sacrificed to the wicked economy which would save a few bricks at the expense of danger and possible death. Grorce Wasutncton told the truth about his little hatchet. Ames told the truth about his little ‘‘rake.”’ Extrava, ce of the Government. By the published summary of the appropria- , tion bills for the action of Congress the pres- ent session we see the total amount is a little over one hundred and eighty-one millions of dollars, and, considering that the amounts of some have been or are likely to be increased, the total may be set down probably at one hundred and ninety millions. This, as our readers are aware, is for current expenditures of the year, and does not include interest on the national debt. The interest on the debt being about a hundred millions, the entire ex- penditure will amount to two hundred and ninety millions. But, deducting the burden of the debt, which is a legacy of the war, why is it necessary in these times of peace that the cost of the government should be more than double what it was thirteen years ago? Admitting that the thirty millions for pensions is a proper charge, and also a legacy of the war, and as such deducting that from the hundred and ninety millions, there is still left a hundred and sixty millions as the current yearly cost of a peace establish- ment. But the thirty-two millions set down for the Post Office Department will be balanced by the earnings of that Department less some five or six millions. That leaves a hundred and thirty-four millions for the civil, military and naval services and for miscellaneous ob- jects—an amount too large by forty millions at least. Under the head of “sundry civil expenses,” apart from the regular appropria- tions for every department, the sum set down is nearly twenty-cight millions, What are these sundries that amount to as much as the whole expenses of the government in its purer days, thirty or forty years ago? We have fallen upon evil times, when extravagance and cor- ruption go hand in hand together. A Training School for Nurses, ‘The privilege of genius is to brand depravity | by converting it into art. The mission of goodness is to reform it altogether. When Dickens made Mrs, Gamp immortal the Anglo- Saxon world realized for the first time the horrors of incompetent nursing. Though the Crimean war was worse than a crime, being a blunder, yet out of that crime came the min- istering angel, Florence Nightingale, to whom England oweg the extinction of the malign race of Gamp, and now, when British royalty and nobility fall ill, the nurses of public hospi- tals aro called to watch over them. A year ago, when the Prince of Wales lay at Death's door, neither his wife nor sister could take the placo of a favorite nurse withdrawn from St. Bar- tholomew’s Hospital. What American would voluntarily put his life in the keeping of a hired nurse in preference to the ministration of friends or family? We stand to-day where Englagd stood before the advent of Florence Nightingale, and American women, ashamed of this inexcusable stain upon our human- ity, have resolved to remove it. Twelve months ago the State Charities Aid Association, composed of ladies and gentlemen whose purpose it is to establish local visiting committees for the almshouses, hospitals and public charities of New York State and city, Began their work through a local visiting committee for Bellevue Hospital, sixty ladies visiting all the wards weekly. Though finding much to interest and admire in the interior arrangements of the Hospital, they discovered radical defects, but none so glaring as the wretched system of nursing. | Inadequate in number, illiterate, often im- moral, and frequently intemperate, nurses sought for situations simply as a means of livelihood, and by their ignorance and in- difference to the welfare of their patients constantly neutralized the efforts of physicians. The monthly reports of the association teemed with tales of suffering that might have been alleviated by kindly, intelligent women, and as the year wore on the committee began to seek for a remedy. In England and on the Continent of Europe training schools for nurses are recognized institutions. A member of the hospital committee voluntarily visited them, and Miss Nightingale, and after an absence of three months returned with valuable informa- tion, the result of which is that the Committee of the Medical Board of Bellevue Hospital unanimously approve of the founding of a training school for nurses in connection with their hospital, and give up to benevolent ladies the nursing and control of six wards, subject to such conditions as will not conflict with rules already established. In course of time these ladies propose to benefit not one, but all public hospitals; to train nurses for the sick in private houses and for work among the poor. Eventually they hope to found a col- lege for nurses which will receive a charter from the State. Branches of this college will be connected with hospitals devoted to partic- ular diseases, “so that nurses of specialties may be as easily attainable as physicians, There will also be a ‘‘Home”’ for nurses, where they will be supplied with employment, and where provision will be made for them when ill or disabled by labor or age. When trained, nurses will receive a diploma or certificate, renewable at stated periods. Thus the col- lege will control nurses during their apprenticeship and protect the public from, imposition. This is the dream of the future ; for the present aspirations are more humble. A house is needed for.super- intendent and nurses ; head nurses, on whom will devolve the training of probationers, must be paid as high wages as they would obtain in private houses, while probationers will be paid according to their usefulness. To begin this noble work twenty thousand dol- lars are required, of which thirteen thousand dollars have already been subscribed. Surely the remainder will ere long be forthcoming. Unsectarian in character, welcoming Catholic and Protestant with equal cordiality, asking only that applicants shall be earnest and honest, this charity appeals to the hearts and heads of all. The safety of every household demands its speedy establishment, for there is no legislating away sickness; it is the heri- tage of rich and poor, oldand young. The scourge of an epidemic may visit us at any moment. Where are the nurses to strengthen the hands of physicians? For the sake of our common humanity and our common suffering we appeal in behalf of our common salvation. Those generous souls desirous of subscribing to the Training School for Nurses can address the Secretary, Mr. H. G. Stebbins, at No. 50 Exchange place. Wr THE Senate Exren Patrerson?— The report made by the Morrill committce to the Senate, it is satisfactory ‘to learn, includes a resolution demanding the ex- pulsion of Senator Patterson, of New Hamp- shire, for his share in the corruptions of the Crédit Mobilier and for his shameful tergiver- sations in regard to it since the opening of the inquiry. The® House has failed to appreci- ate its dishonor in its refusal to purge itself of those who tainted its reputation by their presence. Can we now hope that the magic of the old cry, ‘(Look to the Senate!"’ will arouse that body to a sense of its duty? It may be that the Senate will find some one to play the part of Butler, and Harlan, perhaps, may rise to the level of de- fending Patterson, as Bingham arose from his degradation to sing the glories of his patron, Ames. Is Harlan ready for the con- spicuous dishonor? We shall not be sur- prised. But has the Senate the man- liness to expel this corpse that hails from New Hampshire? That is the question.

In July, 1870, Dr. James H. Bean, of this city, effected an insurance of $5,000 with the above company against accidental death. For an addi- tional premium Bean afterwards obtained permis- sion to cross the Atlantic and travel in Europe, the policy to be in force three months. The ioreign permit contained a provision that the policy shouid not cover risks of any hunting or exploring expe- dition. It will be remembered that Dr. Bean, in September, 1870, accompanied by two gettlemen and the usual guides, attempted an ascent of Mont Blanc, became enveloped in a snowsterm and Bean’s dead body was afterwards found, having been frozen to death. The company refused pay- ment on the ground that the ascent of Mont Blanc was an exploring expedition, which was especially excepted by the pelicy. The suit was brought by the iniant son of Mrs. Bean against the company, and compromised yesterday by the payment of $3,500 and costs to the plaintitf. Both parties were represented by able counsel.
