The attempted lecture at the Court
House last Saturday evening by Mr. Col
ver, was not much of a success, the ad
dress (what there was of it) being rather
a confused Jumble, pointless and uninter
esting, and the performance being sadly
interfered with by the explosion of fire
crackers, ignited by some mischievous
boys. The smoke from the burning fire
crackers soon filled the Court room and
became almost suffocating, and the noise
of the exploding pyrotechnics nearly
deafening. Finally, the Gasburg orator,
finding the applause much louder than
was desirable, and besides being fairly
“smoked out,” made a break for fresh
air, making rapid strides to get away
from such an unappreciative audience.
Tlie boys, however, not to be taken
aback, were close at his heels, and with
cow bells, tin cans, etc., serenaded him
as he went “marching on,” and finally
holed him in the Express Office. Here,
of course, the young musicians were not
permitted to enter ; but from the side
walk in front of the office, however, the
“cotieord of sweet sounds” was renewed,
and kept up with energy for an hour longer
Mr. Colver announces his intention
of lecturing at various other points in tlie
State upon the Modoc war, the virtues of
the red man, the vices of the white man ;
finding fault with the Indian Depart
ment, the military, the citizens, and, in
fact, with everybody and everything, ex
cept Capt. Jack aud his amiable follow
ers; boasting what great tilings he (Col
ver) has done and can do, and that if the
management of this little “unpleasant
ness” was only placed in his hands, how
much lietter it would be fixed up by him
than if left to the regularly constituted
authorities of our government; etc., etc.
Whether the “send-off” the Modoc Lec
turer received on Saturday night can be
regarded as favorable or otherwise, de
pends upon the “stand-point” from
which it is viewed.
One thing is very certain : That had
it not been for the course of certain white
men advising and encouraging the Mo
docs to stay off their Reservation and to
disobey tlie orders of tlie general govern
ment, the unhappy massacre of so many
inoffensive settlers and the consequent

are fully satisfied that tlie “benefit”
which Mr. Colver received here last Sat
urday night was owing entirely to the
general impression and belief in this
i community that he was one of the offi
cious white men we have alluded to.
