Wo learn from the Crcscont City Her

Indian Agent Tichenor, had started tn
tak,o them to tho Reserve, but they
broko away and refused to go, when
an armed party of the citizons of Gold
Reach Intercepted and killed thirteen
of them. A few days later tho remain
ing six bucks of tho band camo among
tho Smith River Indians, a few miles
from Crescent City, when they were
attacked by the friendly Indians and
four of tlio number killed, including
tho chief.
This, wo presume, about ends the
Indian difficulties in that quarter. It
Is well that theso Indians Imvo boen
killed, for they wero of a very bad nud
unrvliablo character, and have com
niltted a score nr so of murder, and
many mlnnr depredations, and the peo
ple nl Gold Reach were only acting in
obedience to tlio law or siupreserva
tlon when they killed them.

appointed corrupt judges and made
them dependent upon his will for the
tenure of their ofiiccs nnd for their sal

citizons tho benefits of trial by jury.
Ho bad, liko a few rabid Know Noth
ings of tbo present da, endeavored to
prevent emigration to Amorlca, by ob
structlng tha laws of naturalization of
foreigners, and ho had pluced his un
qualified royal veto upon laws passed
by tho colonics to encourage emigra
tion. Ho hud taken the tenth of Amer
ican produco fur taxation; ho bad an
nulled vested rights of American com
panies without compensation; he bad,
like Queen Victoria has recently done
in tlio Gulf of Mexico, searched and
committed fljgrnut outrages on Arneri-i
can vessels, on tbo high seas; ho had
transported largo armies to America till

"tyranny, desolation and destrucrnn."i
And finally, bo nnd his military ofil
curs had, liko tho Indian sympathizers
of tho present day, slandered und tra-j
ducvd tho gnod iinnio of the best of
American citizens, nnd endeavored toj
iuclto tho merciless Indians against the
Americans. These nnd similar acta of
