Two Congressmen, now in Washing? ton, say the franking privilege will be 1 restored when Cougross moots "no quick I that it will make the people's hoiuL swim." Perhaps the Congressmen who rentore it will be remanded to private life "so quick it will make their heads swim" r>om>vrg qt the Modocs.? A Wash iogton letter states that tbe Hon. J. E. Luttrell, Congressman elect from tbe Third Oaliforniu District, writes to Com mieBioner Smith, of the Indian Bureau, au account of hit recent visit to the scene of tbe Modoo war, and Bays be has been able to arrive at only one conclu? sion in reference to it, namely, that it I waB caused by tbe wrongful acts of bad white men. He was informed, on what seemed to him reliable authority, that the Modocs were compelled to slaughter thoir borsos for food on the Klamatb reservation, and having exhausted this means joI subsistence, were compelled, by hunger, to seek tbe fishing and hunt? ing grounds on their old reservation on Lost River. Mr. Luttrell urges an in? vestigation of tho causes of tbe Modoo war, and regrets to say that never was there a time sinoo the organization uf the Government when there was bo much corruption and swindling?not only against tbo Government and tho people, but against the Indians?as is to-day being practiced on the Indian reserva? tions on the Pacific coast. A Remarkable Year.?The birth-year of Marshal MaoMahen, 1808, ought to be noticed for the benefit of astrologers and students of occult coincidences in general.

The number of tho primary schools in Germany is said to bo 60,000, and the number of pupils in tbem 6,000,000, be? tween tbe ages of six and fourteen.
