On the "Wednesday preceding the

and held an interview with them.
Jack made them a short si eech as

On Thursday Gen. Wheaton, Rov.
Mr. Ileekenburg and a number of
officers, reporters, and civilians, were
present at an interview with the
whole twelve prisoners confined in
the guard house. Oliver C. Apple
gate and Dave Hill, sub-chief of the
Klamaths, were interpreters, and the
interview was one of the most inter
esting character. The Chaplain iirsv.
made an impressive address, which
was interpreted to the prisoners, ex
plaining the foundation of the Chris
tian religion, and showing thein that
contrition and repentance would lead
them to the Good Spirit who was
father to red men and white men
alike. Then, at the request of Gen.
Wheaton, all but the six doomed In
dians vti'i' removed to their cells
and the. Chaplain announced to them
that they had but one more night
to live, and that by command of the
Great "White Chief they were to die
to-morrow. Capt. .rack and Scou
ehin were mostly affected. The form
er trembled from head to foot, and
the latter sat twitching at his lingers
and moving from side to side. Black
Jim, Sluiux and Barneho compressed
their lips tightly together, gazed

delay, and I think he would wait for
my speech of to-day."
'General YVheaton desired him not
to expect any encouragement, but
to think over what the Chaplain had
told him.
Jack re died: "I know what the
Chaplain told me is good, and I
would like to follow his advice. If I
was permitted to live I might have
time to become a good manjmt the
thing that is uppermost in mv mind
is to see Eogus Charley and 'Hooka
Jim."
The General then said he would
give him an opportunity, but advis
ed him not to spend his last mo
ments in angry altercation.
Jack then said: 'It is terrible to
think that I have to die. "When I
look at mv heart I would like to live
till I died a natural death."'
He was then informed if he wished
anything during the day to ask for
it, and that his family would be sent
m to lnm.
At this point Black Jim, Slolnx
and Jjarnciio desired to be heard
and they were allowed to speak, ttio
lux said:
"I want to talk something. "White
people tall me George. 1 was ar
rested, ironed and chained under
misrepresentaions. My child died
yesterday, and I am here in the
.guard house, unable to be. with the
mourners. Show me a man who
will say that I was present at the
time of the massacre. I would like'
to know who the witnesses were that
testiiied against me. IV-rhaps it was
Riddle's wife. I am innocent.- I
took no part in the murder of the
Peace Commissioners, and I am here
on representations of Toby. I say
this before the representative of the
Great Spirit. I told Capt. Ander
son it was wrong to keep me in irons,
b it he did not understand."
Barncho then said: "I am an in
nocent man. I also told Capt. Ander
sin, an 1 my idea is that I should be
outside instead of the men who re
ally killed Gen. Canby. I was not
there till the, killing was done, but
was some distance awav, with the
other Indians."
General 'Wheat on tend him that
though he may not have been there
he was accused of bringing three
riiies upon the ground. Barncho re-
pneu tnac tiiac was untrue.

heart is very good. I always was on
tent. That was the evening before
the massacre. I am telling what I
know to be true; nothing more. I
am done."
Captain Jack " You see that Bos
ton lias made an open confession,
and that it was not me, but the
younger men, who took part in that
affair. My heart was always good
towards the whites, and I wanted to
make peace with them, but my young
men were against it and I could not
control them. Mv opinion has been
that when the evidence came out
Hooka Jim, Steamboat Frank, Bo
gus and Shacknasty would be ar
rested and tried. They deceived
Gen. Canby and always took part in
anything that was wrong. I would
like to make friends with Gen.
Wheaton, considering both parties
wrong, and have the really guilty
parties punished. I have al ways had
a good heart towards the white peo
ple, and hav now. Searfaee Char
ley is a relative of mine worse than
I am and I propose to make an ex
change and turn him over to be ex
ecuted in my place."
General "Wheaton told Jack his
word was good before this trouble.
Seonchin was asked if he had any
thing to say. Ho replied: " You all

I sat in my tent on ring the light
with Major Jackson and took no part,
but hei-e I am now in irons, and feel
to-day that my young men put them

good man, and have always given
my young men good advice, and was
always ready to shake hands with

couiitrv. But here I am in irons.
and condemned to die. I think I
should not be executed, but I nave
heard the words of the good man
who has talked to us and am willing
to die and go to my Father in heaven.
My father lived here long ago, and 1
have always thought tnat I would
iike to see him in the spirit land.
If I die now perhaps I will see him
with the Great Spirit. Perhaps the
Great Spirit will say. ' Seonchin,
my law which is in force among the
whites has killed you.' It was not
in my heart to do wrong but I was
led o;i' by my young men. Perhaps
I was insane. You have tried the
law on me and know whether ov not
I am a good man. Hooka Jim was
anxious to try his skill, and I remon
strated against his murdering the
citi.ens. When evidence was sent
back to the President he formed the
opinion that I was a wild savage
Indian, and did not know that Iu.si d
my intluence to prevent the young
men from doing such great wrongs,
anil it is hard for me to have to die.
The Great Chief at "Washington has
to depend on the evidence of others,
and has formed the opinion that Seon
chin is a very bail man. But the
Groat Spirit sees mv eves, and mv
would be put in chains. But when
the Great Spirit looks down on me
to-day perhaps he knows his law has
been tried on me and that the sen
tence is just. If I had blood on my
hands, as Boston Charley has, I
could say the sentence is just. But
I will sav nothing against the decis
ion, or ask that the line be crossed
which the President has drawn. You
are the law making power and I am
the prisoner, and I must try to think
the decision is correct. If I felt as
Boston does I would have but little
to say. I am done. I have made
a straight speech. The Great Chief
is a long way off. If I could see
him face to face he might listen to
me, but it is just -the same as if I
was at the bottom of a long hill and
ho on top, and I cannot see him.
He has made his decision, so let me
die. I have talked much to-day and
you think I believe by talking I can
escape the penalty, but I think no
such thing; there is no way of cross
ing the line the Great Chief has
drawn. When I saw the o irg men
taking the lead I did not think I was
a great criminal. I do not talk to
save" myself, but that you may know
my heart. I am not afraid to die.
The Chaplain then onered up a
fervent and eloquent prayer and the
interview was ended. It had occu
pied four hours and three quarters
and was of the most interesting char
acter. It was strange to see the ef
fect cf the different speeches, and
the different demeanor of the cap
tives, on the audience. Scarcely a
man entered that room without a
certain amount of pitv and admira
tion for Capt. Jack, who should have

and setting at defiance the express
words of the Constitution itself.
This is now the political creed of
of the men who is at the right hand
of the President. And he not only
tramples down 'the principles of lo
cal selfgovernment, but sets up his
own will as law. even against the
authority of Congress. In the San
Domingo affair we have seen him
deliberately usurt) the war-making
power, which is vested in Congress
by the Constitution. On the pre
tense of helping the farmers in "mov
ing the crops, we have seen him
assume powers which no despot
would dare to exercise in issuing
millions of currency without any
warrant of law, and on
HIS OWN INDIVIDUAL CAPRICE.
We have seen him appointing to
civil places about him men in the
military service, in violation of an
express statute which he has sworn
to execute. Wu have seen him grant
n leave of absence to General Sickles
from his mission at Madrid to aid
him in an effort to gain control of
the Erie railway for his private ad
vantage, and iussuing a ridiculous
order authorizing the inspection of
the books of the company, which his
own Secretary of the Treasury was
obliged to revoke.

pardoned out of it. A defaulting

of its violators, instead of enforcing
its mandates. If our Government

OVER FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A
COW, ECT.
The most remarkable sale of cattle
ever made in this country took place Q
at New York Mills, three miles from
Etica, New York, on the 10th tilt,
comprising the herd of ' Drushnes
and Oxford breeds belonging to
Hon. Samuel Campbell. The sale
attracted the most prominent short
horn breeders tf the world, includ
ing repiesentatives from the great
g-.azing sections of Kentucky, Hli-
o.s, umo iUinnesota, ennaaa, E,ng-
and and Scotland. About five hun-
lred people were present, including
all the American breeders and the
following from England: Bight Hon.
Lord Skelniersdale, whose seat is
near Liverpool; Mr. Half onl. of Ta-
pillon Market Harbor; Mr. Caithrope
Mr. ltichardson, who represents Sir
Curtir Lampson of Sussex; Mr. Ber
wick, agent for Lord Dunmore, but
who buvs for Earl Bective. iecently

cashire, and Mr. Kello, agent for
Mr. R. Pavin Davis of Horton Glou
cester; also Messrs. Cochrane, Chris
tie, Miller, andBeattie of Canada.
The Duchess family, headed by
that noble three-vear old bull. Sec
ond Duke of Oneida, came first in
the sale. He was no sooner present-
em! than Lord Skelniersdale ollered
$10,000. This was quickly followed
by offers of 811,000 and .?12,000, and
he ay as sold to Mr. Thomas J. Me
gibben, of Cyuthiana, Ky. Next
came First Duchess of Oneida. The
bidding started at 15,000 and quick
ly ran up to :10,000, after which)
bids of 8100 more Avere made until
she Avas sold to Lorfl Skelniersdale
for $oO,00. A beautiful yearling
Seventh Dnchess of Oneida, was
next offered. The bids started at
5,000 and quickly Avent up to 10
000, at which sum she Avas sold to
Mr. A. J. Alexander, of Kentucky.
After her the Tenth Duchess of Gen
eva came into the ring. The bid
ding starting at 500 ran quickly up
to 8:50,000 and then by smaller bids,
to ."5.000 at ivhich she Avas taken bv
Lord Bective, through Mr. BerAvick.
Several line animals followed at high
prices, some to cross the Atlantic.
The culmination of the intense in
terest, hoAvever Avas reached in the
bidding for the Eighth Duchess of

Reminds One. The Lancaster
Lttelliffcncer says that that old Demo
crat, Thomas Jefferson, when Pres
ident, expressed the following trouble
of his otlicial life: "There is nothing
I am so anxious about as making
the best possible appointments;" and
he added: "The public Avill neA-er be
made to believe that an appointment
of a relative is made on the ground
of merit alone uninfluenced by fami
ly vieAvs; nor can they eA er see Avith
approbation offices, the disposal of
Avhieh they entrust to their Presi
dents for public purposes, divided
out as family property." How a
perusal of the above reminds one of
Grant's concern relative to the same
matter. -
" Like a Gentleman." Once
when Beau Hickman Avas down,
writes a correspondent, I gave him a
dollar, and seeing me about to buy a
cigar, he stepped up and said: "Al
low me, sir, to serAe you," and, tak
ing up two twenty-five cent cigars,
he presented me one, and took the
other actually paying half of the
dollar I had just given him for the
cigars. "Beau," I said, "you are
extravagant. I can t atlord to smone
It is pretty late in the season to
suggest a means of assisting persons
in danger of droAvning. NeAerthe
less, Ave venture to repeat some ob
servations on the subject made by a
Mr. Lawson in 180G. This gentle
man had noticed in his day that a
great many people were drowned,
because they were indiscreet enough
to get into deep Avater at just the
place Avhere no boat, no rope, and
often not even a board were to be
had by those anxious to render as
sistance. Ho noticed also that of
those anxious but unable to render
assistance because of their ignorance
of the art of swimming, all the men
wore hats, and therein he saAv a
means of deliverance. His experi
ments showed that a common hat
reversed on the water Avill support
nearly ten pounds weight, and will
bear seAen pounds weight Avith safe
ty, and as the human body is of
nearly the same Aveight as Avater, an
additional buoyancy of seA en pounds,
under ordinary circumstances, forms
an effectual life-preserver. If a
handkerchief be tied orer the aper
ture of the hat he asserted that it
would enable one avIio did not know
how to SAvim to assist safely any one
in danger. Two hats thus prepared,
Avith a Avalking stick connecting
them, are better than one.
The sixty-scAen years which have
passed away since Mr. Lawson pub
lished his conclusions have left the
human family unchanged in their
tendency to put themselves in dan
ger of being droAvned without prop
er provisions for their rescue. Here
and there, however, one of these
may be saved by applying this rule
for th use of a 'hat. lY. Y. Evening Q

stopped at a bookstore, and paid
1 25 for a neAV article, and went

went home and gave his wife a pair
of black cA-es.
