Governor Grover's protest against the proposition to make peace with the Modocs, which will be lonnd elsewhere in this issue, has the true ring, and will be heartily approved by the people of Oregon. It would be a gross infringement up on the rights of the citizens of this State for any power outside of the State authorities to assume the right of compromising with those committing murder within our limits, and more es pecially so when we consider that the victims of the murderers have been pcaocable citizens of our State. If peaceable and unoffending citizens of our State are to be murdered in cold blood while quietly pursuing their bu siness, and the offenders rewarded by higher authorities for committing the crime, instead of being punished, the sooner the settlers move to some other country the better. "We are pleased to see the Governor manifest so much interest in this mat ter, and feel that his views upon this subject will be unanimously supported by all well-disposed people. Homicide. At a " neck-tie " party given by the Taylor Family at Harris burg in this State, a few evenings ago, a row occurred in which Elias Keeny shot and killed James Pelton. The difficulty was caused by Felton censur ing Keeny for drawing two envelopes and leaving one lady without a part ner in the dance. After the shooting, Keeny was set upon and cruelly beaten by the crowd, but managed to make his escape from them and the officers who pursued him in the morning, al though they were able to track him for a mile and a half by the blood. Murder in Yamhill Countt. On the night of February 4th Mr. Benj. Hasbrouok, residing about six miles from the town of Sheridan, in Yamhill county, heard a strange noise in his granary, and, in company with a hired man, proceeded to ascertain the cause of it, the latter being in tho advance. On reaching the granary the hired man was knocked down and stabbed by tho thieves, but escaped serious harm by the knifo striking a thick memorandum book in a side pocket. Mr. Hasbrouck was then shot and instantly killed by one of the robbers, who was armed with a shot-gun. Tho murderers then mado their escape. Senator Sumner. Tho Oregonian of Feb. 10th says; Recent Washington rHsnntp.rips rv that Senator Sumner will not bo able to resume his seat in tho Senate before tho 4th of March. A gentleman just from Massachusetts says the feeling in that commonwealth is all turning in Sumner's favor again, and if his term was out ho would to day be returned to his seat The stately Senator is a pet of the old Bay State, and she will never cease her gentlo caresses. It is currently reported that Mr. Snmncr feels the quick rebuke of her Legisla ture so keenly that he will never re cover from what ho deems her unmer ited censure. His most intimate friends, however, are confident that he will soon recover his health and enter Con gress in all the Bplendid vigor of his earlier years. It is to be hoped that tho Senator may yet live long enough to remove the doubt he threw over the sincerity of his professions by his late puerility in the expunging measures, but those to whom ho owes his present position will not soon forget tho contrast of whiz zing bullets from guns of malicious en emies on the battle field, and tho ma lignant thrust at their record of deeds which tho Senator had spent the best years of his life in producing. He may do the "pet" ol tho Massachusetts Leer islature, but we doubt the strength of his present hold upon the affections or conscience ot the people at large.

Death of Ex-Gov. Geaey. John IV, Geary, lato Governor of Pennsyl ' vania, died at his residence in Harns- bnrg,Penn., Feb. 8th, aged about fifty three. The cause of his death is sup posed to have been apoplexy or heart disease. THE MODOCS AND THE PEACE DTJM- HUSSION. Ah Important and Pointed Pre test oy uot. urever From! the Oregon Herald of Itbi f L Gov. Grover on yesterday dispatched his Private Secretary, Mr. Gilfry, to the Klamath Lake basin, with an im portant and pointed communication to the Indian Peace Commission to as semble there on the 15th instant The position taken by Governor Grover is impregnable, and should govern the Commission. We commend the docu ment to the careful perusal of our read ers: State op Oregon, Executive Office, Salem, February 10, 1873. ) To the Commissioners appointed to conclude peace with the Modoc Indians Gentlemen : As the State of Oregon is deeply interested in the results of the pending Indian Peace Commission, I desire to express to you a few sug gestions bearing upon the subject now about to engage your attention. From official reports made to me, and from other reliable information, it appears conclusively established that the massacre of eighteen citizens of Oregon on the th of November last was committed without provocation and without notice cutting and shoot ing men down in cold blood at their homes and in their fields, one by one, as they were found, by Indians who had not been attacked by the soldiery nor otherwise molested, and who could speak our language and were personal ly acquainted with their victims. The homes and farms ot the slaugh tered settlers were upon lands to which the Indian title had long since been extinguished by treaty. These acts I hold to be deliberate and willful mur der. Over such offenses I conceive the civil authorities of this State consti tute the only competent and final tri bunal. I desire therefore to .protest on behalf of the State of Oregon against any act of tho Commission which shall purport to condone the crimes of the Modocs or compound their offences. The people of Oregon desire that tho murderers shall be given up, and bo delivered over to the civil authori ties for trial and punishment As to the land on Lost river, which some have suggested should be sur rendered to the Modocs as a peace offering, allow me to say that these lands lie wholly within the State oi Oregon, and within the jurisdiction of the Superintendent of Indian Affairs f r Oregon ; that the Indian title to these lands was extinguished by treaty, fairly made, through the Oregon Super intendency, between tho Modocs and the General Government, on the 14th diy of October, 1864. They have been surveyed under the direction ot the Surveyor-General of Oregon, and the surveys were long since approved by the General Land Office. These lands have been extensively taken and are now occupied by bona fide settlers, under tho homestead and pre-emption laws of the United States. The Commission will therefore have no more power to declare a reservation on Lost river, including these settle ments, to make the same a basis of peace with these Indians, than they have to provide for their establishment upon any other settled portion ot this State. For the interests of Southern Ore gon, and for the future peace of our Southern frontier, I will express the hope and confidence that the project ot a reservation on Lost river will not be entertained by the Commission, and that the Modocs will either consent to return to their own reservation or to be assigned to bounds beyond the set tlements. With great respect I am your obedi ent servant, L. F. Grover, Governor of Oregon. Oakes Ames. The following is an exchange's description of this great shovel manufacturer, who has lately figured so conspicuously in Washing ton before the Credit Mobilier Investi gating Committee : Ames is large in stature, with ahead something like a gourd, the principal feature of attraction being the evident disposition of his nose and chin to meet and shako hands. A cold, selfish, grayish blue eye contributes to make up the countenance, which, backed up by a little mind, form the entire of the man. Tho only disposition he has evinced toward tho affairs of the House aside from the Pacific Railroad, has been an unsuccessful, attempt, usurping the office of doorkeeper, to keep the page boys steadily at work and pre vent the pranks of these youngsters. I was once a witness of a "conflict of jurisdiction" between tho venerable Ames and a page. As the House bad adjourned the boys commenced a little play on their own hook, but Ames, who has a great aversion to anything but business, undertook to reprove them. "Boys," said he, "dont you know that you are in tho presence of members of theHouseof Representa tives, and such conduct is entirely un becoming?" The impressiveness of this sermon was completely lost, how ever, for one of the boyn replied in an undertone : "He thinks himself smart because he is down here raising the price of shovels." They have ice at St Paul, Minn., 14 feet thick. This excites the local jeal ousy of Dulutb, which boasts it is so cold there that a featber bed has been frozen as stiff as a poker. MODOC WORD. Nothing of importance has transpired since our lafc issue. At latest accounts all the lakes in the Klamath" country were frozen over. The boats were ready to launch the day before the lakes closed over, but of course are now useless until warm weather re turns. All the wounded are fast recovering, except the man Roberts, who was at times delirious. No danger is apprehended from the Indians on the Reservations, as they have concluded the chances ot Jack's success are beyond hope. The result of the Peace Conference, should the Commissioners succeed in getting the ear of Jack at all, will be known in a few days. Whether h treats or concludes to continue the fight, the result will be the same the destruction of his band in the end for all future harm, as troops enough to destroy him will bo on hand for the next move if another fight ensues, and if he surrenders it will only be on such terms as will render his band power less. In commenting on the Peace Com mission and their standing with the Modocs, the Yreka Journal of the 12th says: The Oregon representatives have played sharp at Washington, in getting ahead of the California delegation, and neither Gov. Booth, E. Steele, or L. M. Foulke will be connected with the Peace Commission, as first proposed. The Indiana hate Applegato and Meacham as they do the military) as these men have been interested in en deavoring to force them on the reser vation. Applegate is probably at Clear Lake, and Meacham and Chase are no doubt en route, in company with lien. Uanby, who has been or dered to go with them on this peace mission. Orders from Washington have also been issued to the commander of the United States force operating against the Modocs to make such a dis position of his forces as will tend to protect the settlers and their property in the neighborhood, and to suspend further hostile proceedings against the Indians. Also, that it is absolutely necessary, until after the Commission recently appointed investigate the cause which led Captain Jack to wage war against the whites. During all last Summer, the Modocs acted strangely, and it is firmly be lieved by many who watched them closely, that they have meditated a fight against the authorities interfering with their freedom of the country, in cluding the settlers also. They pre tended they had prophecies that the whites would be all killed off, just ts the Indians at the Siletz reservation believed or professed to believe, while the real fact is they wanted an oppor tunity for a general uprising. The fact of the Modoc chiefs visiting other tribes last Summer to gain their co-operation, leads conclusively to the opin ion that they are always treacherously plotting against the whites, and espe cially those living in exposed settle ments. Men who own stock in the Modoc section have lost thousands of dollars every year in the killing of their cattle by Indians, besides buying their good will in leasing the land they had- no legal right to claim. Louis Land, alter taking up a ranch on the Government domain, had to pay the Indians horses, provisions, etc., to a considerable amount, before they would permit him to build a cabin. Other settlers also had to make similar compromises, in settling on the public land anywhere around Tule Lake. Laura D. Fair. This creature has at last been enabled to unburden her self in the form ot a lectnre, two oi which were delivered in Sacramento last week. The reporter of the Record of that city says of her second lecture : It was only against tho Bulletin, Call, Chronicle and Alta that she waged war, and they were by no means tho entire press of San Francisco. For two years these papers had heaped Up on her the vilest of slanders, and she had obeyed the scriptural injunction to turn the other cheek, and now she oc cupied the same position as did the Quaker, who, being smitten npon the one cheek, meekly turned the other, and then pulling off his coat turned up on his late antagonist and remarked that now that the scripture had been fulfilled he proposed to administer to him a sound thrashing. She therefore proposed to repeal her lecture upon Wolves in the hold and leave it to her audience to say whetherit was libelous, slanderous or impure. She hoped that the reporters present would nothing extenuate nor set down aught in mal ice, but hear her for her cause and be silent that they might hear. She then proceeded to repeat her former tirade against preachers, priests, editors, re porters, jurymen and Judges, inter, spersed with eulogies upon the honest, high-minded and altogether lovely jury which had acquitted her. There were no signs of applause throughout, and a number of persons left the hall before the lecture was through. There is a great pressure upon Con. gress to restore the law requiring ev ery Congress to assemble "on the 4th of march, but the Jfrewdent'.opposes the restoration strongly. "i r DEATH OF M. F. MAURY. From the , Oregonian we clip ,the following biographical sketch of the eminent hydrographer, Mathew Fon taine Maury, better known as Lieut Maury, who died in Lexington, Ya., Feb. 1st, at the age of sixty-seven : This eminent hydrographer was born in Spottsylvania, Virginia, January 14th, 1 806. His tastes And inclinations led him to enter the navy as a midship man in 1825. 'He visited Fiance in the Jtrandywine, when that vessel con veyed La Fayette to his native land after the patriot's visit to tho United States. While cruising in the Pacific ocean whither he had come in the JJrandywinelhn commenced his "Treat ise on Navigation" which was con tinued through his voyage around the globe in tho Vincennesto which vessel he was transferred. Returning to the Pacific coast, he served as master ot the Falmouth until transferred to the Potomac as Acting Lieutenant. In 1836 he was promoted to a lieutenancy, and in the summer of that year was nominated astronomer to an expedition organized to explore the Southern Seas. On the retirement of Commodore Jones from the expedition, Lieutenant Maury resigned his positon. In 1842 he com menced his labors on ''The Physical Geography of the Sea" a work which stands deservedly high among treatises on that subject? His untiring energy and devotion to science built up the National Observatory and Hydrogra phy office at Washington, of which ho was for several years the superintend ent In 1850 his admirable treatise on "The Physical Geography of the Sea," the proauct ot many years patient la bor and continuous study was given to the world. In this volume is found the first reference to the theory, origin ating with Maury, of the crossing of trade winds at the equator. Among the practical benefits accruing from this publication are the shortening of trips lrora the Atlantic side to the Ira cific side of the United States; the discovery of the telegraphic ocean pla teau, and the indications of good whal ing grounds. Maury was the projector ot the Maritime Congress which met at Brussels in 1853. In 1855 he was pro moted to the rank of Commodore, which position he held at the outbreak ot the great Rebellion, when he took service in the Confederate cause as Commodore. The noble zeal of this toiler was not without its just reward. From the hand of the King of Prussia, Commodore Maury received a gold medal commemorative ot the publica tion of Humboldt's "Cosmos," and the Emperor of Austria sent him the large gold Medal of tho Arts and Sciences. lie has gone from the world "Bearing his blushing honors thick npon him," and his name will not soon go down into silence. The world has lost a worker, and science one of her grandest exponents. Oregon Patents. The lollowing patents were issued from the U. S.
