The apportionment of Delegates which has been
fixed upon, is based upon the Republican vote for
General Grant in 1872 one delegate for each 250
vote* and major fraction thereof, and also one for
each county at large.
Officers of Connty Committees or local Clubs will
confer a favor by sending to the Secretary Of the
State Committee the names of delegates as soon as
•elected by County Conventions, so that printed rolls
may be prepared for the use of the Convention.

wAtu the advantages of this State
over any other they have visited, and
it is quite certain that the main body
of the Mennonites will oome to Min

tional system are very favorably con
sidered. Next year some 40,000 more
Mennonites will emigrate to the Uni

In the Mobile (Ala.) Register we
find a letter from Houston, Te-ias
written May 27, which reads vei
much like many letters we have seen
from that State in Northern papers.—
We copy the opening paragraph
"It will surprise some nersons in Ala
bama when I Bay that in ttiis place, as well
as in Galveston, Indiano/ia and other towns
in Texas, one hears a great deal of dnll
business, scarcity of money and hard times,
yet such is. the case. The prospects for
the growing crop are not favorable. Late
cold spring—then very dry—now very
wet these drawbacks, together with grass
hoppers in some sections, cause a feeling
of uneasiness as to the crop, and this feel
ing, I suppose, has caused sales to fall off.
At any rate, I have been told by business
men in every town that I have visited that
just now business is poorer than they have
ever known it. I have met Alabamians in
all portions of the State in which I have
traveled some doing well, and pleased
with the State somo not doing well, and
I expect would like to be back in Alabama.
I have met several young men from onr
State hunting situations. One remarked
to me to-day that 'TexSvis abetter place

just get a start here, but I have spent all
my money hunting for a place, and if I go
home will have to borrow money to travel
on—getting a start is the trouble.'

MODO S S a
On Wednesday of last week the cap
tive Mottoes were brought from Applo
gato to Boyle's Camp. They were ear
ned in three larg« wagons, guarded by
soldiers and Warm Spring Indians.
Great curiosity was manifested to seo
Oupt. Jack, who baffled public curios
ity by completely enveloping himself in
a blanket. Arriving at camp, he was
chained with Sehonchin and Boston
Charley, fie says he is thirty-aix years
old Sohonohio is fifty, and Boston
Charley thirty-five years old. Jack
contemplated escape, bat since the
shackles wero put on has given up
hope. He protests against the "indig
nity."
In the afternoon Colonel Mason ar
rived from Fairchilda' ranoh with the
infantry force of the expedition and the
seventy Modoos who came in there a
few days sinoe, making the total num
ber of captives in hand 128.
The Warm Spring Indians had a
jolly war dance in the evening.
About midnight word was received
that Hooka Jim and Steamboat Frank
had made a successful scout the daj be*
fore, assisted by the Oregon Volunteers,
and had trailed five warriors, fonr squaws
and five children to Timber Mountain
and there oaptured them. Among
the captives is Black Jim. He is a
Modoc who has killed settlers in that
region for two or three years, and com
mitted cruel murders. Oregonians re
gard him with special hatred. Only
five or six Modoc warriors are now mis*
sing.
Late in the afternoon a detail of men
brought to camp twenty juniper logs,
clean and straight. The use for which
they were intended was not known un
til next morning, when it transpired
that Gen. Davis proposed, at sunset
that evening, hanging a dozen of the
worst murderers among the Modoos,
and the logs were to be used for con

"V^.Vy law, concluding with
Dispatohes from Boyle's camp, da
ted Sunday, relate the particulars of an
atrooions masuaore of Modoo pris
oners, it is supposed by the Oregon
volunteers. Saturday morning, John
James Fairchild and about a dozen
other men left Fairchild ranohe, Cot
tonwood Creek, with seventeen Modoo
captives, men, women and children, in
cluding Shacknasty Jim, Bogu? Char
ley, Tehee Jack, Pony and Little John.
The Indians were in a wagon drawn by
four mules. At the crossing of Lost
river the party encountered the Oregon
volunteers, under command of Capt.
Histier. The soldiers gathered about
the wagon and questioned Fairchild.
The latter told them that the Modocs
were all Hot Creeks except Little John
that there were no charges against
them. Fairchild undertook to push on
to Boyle's oamp, and the volunteers
retired to camp near Crowley's. At
Ruck Point he was intercepted by
twenty men who had ridden ahead, and
a needle gun was held close to his
head while the white villains shot the
five unarmed warriors: A team ap
proaching, the cowardly murderers rode
rapidly away. The affair was reported
to Gen. Davis the next morning, but
as yet no steps have been taken tor the
apprehension of the scoundrels', who
are supposed to belong to the Oregon
volunteers. They should be oaptured
and bung with Captain Jaok and
Sehonchin. We have no sympathy
•with the Modoos, but this oowardly
murder is no better than the worst of
their crimes and deserves as severe a
punishment. We can claim no right
to punish the Indians so long as We al
low white men to violate with impunity
the laws to which we would hold the
savages amenable: It was a oowardly
and dastardly affair.. .••,:
In an interview on Sunday between
General Davis, Capt. Jack and Sehon
chin, the Modoo chief said he was in
cited to his oruel warfare by Allen Da
vid, chief of the Klamatbs. He also
denied having killed General Canby,
ana laid the blame on the boys. Sehon
chin told the eaTie story.
Mrs. Bradley and daughter, Mrs.
Schiers, and two women who were wid
owed by the Modocs, are on hand to
identify the Modoo prisoners. These
women were so exasperated on seeing
their husbands' murderers that they
lost all control over their feelings, be
gan crying, and started in for desperate
work. Mrs. Sehiera drew a pistol and
started for Steamboat Frank, and Mrs.
Bradley drew a knife and dashed at
Hooka Jim. Gen. Davis stopped them
in a moment, and secured both weap
ons. During the struggle the General
received a slight out in the palm of the
band and near the thumb. Hooka
Jim and Steamboat Frank looked like
statues. Neither spoke nor offered to
resist.
A Washington dispatch of Monday,
says several weeks will elapse before
the Modocs' fate will be sealed. A
commission will be organized at once
tor then trial. ..u
A San Francisco dispatch states that
Sehofield telegraphs to Davis from
Boyle's camp that he has appointed a
commission for a "spot" trial of the
Modoos. The prisoners' guard at Al
oatray was attacked with brioks by
Tern Prute, an Indian prieouer. The
entire guard fired and killed him.
Six bullets were shot into his body.
The Oregon papers denounce the mas
sacre of the Modoos in measured
terms.

The Commissioner of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Hon. F. Watts,
has furnished the Milwaukee Cham
ber of Commerce with very interest
ing tabular statement, which shows the
number of bushels of wheat raised in
each State of the Union in each of the
past 12 years. The total estimated
production of wheat in the United
States in 1872 was 849,997,000 bosh
els, showing an increase of 19,275,000
bushels compared with the crop of
1871. The largest production in any
single State was in California—25,
600,000 bushels. Illinois, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Iowa, respectively,
ranked next to California, ranging from
22,000,000 to 24,700,000 bushels.
The total production in the Northwest
ern States named, in 1872, was 92,
298,000 bushels, an increase of 26,
230,000 bushels over the crop of 1871
in the same States.
Seoretary Langaton, of the Chamber
of Commerce, is authority for the
statement that 43,355,000 bushels of
wheat, including flour, had beep, re
ceived at Milwaukee and Chicago, and
other points, up to May 3J^t last, from
the erop of 1872, in the four great
wheat producing Stages of the North
west—Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota—wh\0h, together with the
estimated am'jant. for foed tnd seed in
these State leaves an available sur

representatives of France abroad, de

A LARGE collection of live fish, in
cluding bass, catfish, perch, eels, shad,
oysters, lobsters, etc., is on its way to
the Pacific coast from Charlestown, N.
H., in an "aquarium oar." As a se
quel to this a dispatch from Council
Bluffs, Iowa, states that this car was
wrecked in Elkborn river, twenty
miles west of Omaha, and the entire
car of 40,000 trout, lobsters, eels, etc,
emptied into the stream. It is said to
be the best stocked stream in Nebraska
at present. The cause of the accident
was the washout of the bridge of the
Union Paoifio Railway.
A CORRESPONDENT of the St. Paul
Pioneer, writing from Sioux City,
Iowa, June 7tb says: "Grasshoppers
appeared here in a perfect cloud a few
days ago, and played sad havoc with
many gardens in the city, as well as
with some of the growing grain of
farmers in the vicinity. The heavy
rams and accompanying high wiuds,
however, have had a tendency to
drown out and blow away the most of
the orthopterous inseots, and" the peo
ple breathe comparatively easy again."

PITTSBUHGH, May 81st, 1873.
EDITOR JOURNAL.—If you will give
me space for one more letter, I, on my
part, promise that it shall bo "mthe last.
The General Assembly olosed its session
on Wednesday evening, thus rounding
up two weeks of hard work. My im
pression is that the body this year fell
rather below the avenge of other years
ia point of talent There were too
many of my ownhind present. Bat I
do not suppose it was ever surpassed in
earnestness, in faithfulness te duty, and
in the desire to do what was right.
The devotional exercises were always
well attended and of a deeply spiritu
al character. Some of the most ef
ficient workers were laymen, though the
speeohmaking was generally done by
the D. D.'s and a few fledglings from
New Jersey and other plaoes.
We had with us some ten delegates
from foreign bodies, and reoeived con
gratulatory messages from some whose
delegates could not reaoh us* 1 was
specially pleased with Dr. Bacon, who
repiesented the Congregational Asso
ciation. Ho is a pleasant spoken and
a polished gentleman, though he was
evidently somewhat embarrassed by his
position, as he did not represent a body
tf Christians but only a consociation of
affinities. He was, himself, much
amused at the remarks of our Modera
tor, who told him that he (Crosby)
bad observed that he (Bacon) had not
spoken of his denomination as a body
but as a family of churches, and then
the Moderator assured him that if this
family of churches would oome to us
we could clothe their soul inn body.
The U. P. Church was represented by
a young man who felt himself equal, to
the vooation, and before he was done
we had an illustration of mechanical el
ocution such as would surely extin
guish a Booth or an Everett. But the
greatest contrast was afforded in the
persons of three delegates from the ice
bound regions of Canada. They, were
cool enough for all,reasonable purposes.
I do not doubt that they think they dp
God a service and maun benefit by
preaching sermons an hour long and
that twice each Sabbath.
Dr. Sohaff is very far from
the looking man I had .imagin
ed him to be. Though a com
missioner, he took no active part until
the Alliance question oame tip. He is
a fine looking man, more soared on the
top of the bead than I am—indeed it's
all soared off or pulled out—what little
he has is white, and yet I do not sup
pose he is over fifty, and he does, not
seem to know that he is Dr. Schaff.
Very plain, you would think him some
country elder, with considerable of the
German in his talk but when he
talks, it is almost like lightning. The
great Alliance is te meet this year in
New York. The Dr. says it will meet
next year in Rome, and the next in
Jerusalem. One of the Missionaries
frem Persia gave a very interesting
account of the work in that land. At
the time of the great famine there, the
American contributions were distribut
ed by the Missionaries. He said it
was matter of astonishment to the Mo
hammedans that Christians should re
lieve them. It was so different from
the policy pursued by the Mohamme
dans towards Christians that they could
not understand it, and he said the ef
feot was great and would go far to open
the land to the Gospel. I think the
most important notion of the whole ses
sion was that whioh regarded the
Southern Presbyterian Church. We
rescinded all the acts and parts of acts
that had not been passed by both the
Old and New school before the Union
so that if the Southern people refuse
to oome back it is no longer our fault.
But they are coming, and the few radi
cals among them cannot long hinder.
Our men occupied their pulpits in Bal
timore, and last Sabbath evening one
of their men preached in the first
church in this city. It is, after all,
the same Gospel, no mstter which
preaches it, and it is a sin and a shame
let political issues, now dead, still
keep us apart. Woe be to the man or
church that resists1 the ever-growing
spirit of unity! The wheel will grind
suoh to powder. WVhave said to the
U. P.'s, Sing Psalms if you wish it's
all right. We have said to the South,
The Past is dead come With as into
the living Present—and if they don't
come, we are not to blame. The same
spirit is exerting a powerful iaf uenoe
in this city. A ministerial alliance
has been formed and embrace* nearly
all the Protestant denominations, and it
receives the approbation of the people
at large. So mote it be. The World
is large the work is pressing souls
are dying, and I believe that in the
near future there is approaching a
struggle between the kingdom of dark
ness and the kingdom of light suoh as
the world has never yet seen. Society
is ripening for a great event. The
Devil is putting on his polished armor
as a man of war but never mind the
sling is ready and so is the smooth
stone, and the Son of Jesse will come
forth at the appointed hour, and helmet
and cuirass and weaver's beam will
prove of no avail*':.

The heaviest rain and thunder storm
of the season passed over St. Loon on
Sabbath night. It raged from about
six to eight o'clock in the evening and
recommenced after midnight, continu
ing until morning. An immense body
of water fell and considerable damage
was done in various parts of the oity.
Several houses were struok by light
ning and thefireand polioe telegraph
were interrupted. A sower on 20th
street caved in a distance of some 60
feet leaving a hole of some 10 feet
wide and 15 feet deep. Other sewers
ohoked up and the back water flooded
streets and cellars to the depth o? sev*
oral feet. Several houses were under
mined, and chimneys and trees blown
down. The tunnel excavation on
Washington avenue and English streets
suffered greatly, some four or five feet
of water having drained into it, and its
sides being badly washed in various
places.
A bridge over the river Marias des
Cygnes on the Leavenworth, Lawrenoe
and Galveston Bailroad, in Kansas,
fell under the traia on Saturday last,
and the bridge and (rain were entirely
demolished. There were eleven per
sona oa the train but no one was seri
ously hurt.

SAN FRANOISOO, June 6.—Advioes
from Arizona state that the Indian
agent at San Carlos, Major Larrabee,
had some difficulty with the Apaches,
and thit they undertook to kill him
with spears. He ran to Lieut., Almy's
tent, and Lieut. Almy,'with six sol
diers, went to the ageooy with him.
They went into Larrabee's tent, and
soon afterward Larrabee and Almy
oame out, Almy in advance, when the
Apaches fired on them. Almy receiv
ed a.bullet and fell dead, without a
groan, Larrabee, nntouohed, retreated
into the tent. The Apaches fled
across the river instantly, and it is
probable that many of them have taken
to, the mountains. A messenger* to
Governor Sofford, who left the reserva
tion half an hour after the occurrence,
says the majority of the Indians were
on the reservation when he left. Eske
Vonsein, the noted chief, had become
angry with the agent several dS^S pre
vious, and left San Carlos with his band
some time before the murder. The
Indians fired about forty shots at Lar
rabee aad Almy. It has been general
ly thought for several weeks past that
an outbreak was inevitable.
