Nor HANGED.-Yu-he-za, the Sioux Indian
culprit, who has been so long in our Jail await
ing the just sentence of the law for the wilful
murder of white woman, was not executed
yesterday, in pursuance of sentence. Some
trumping up of legal bubbles saved him for

NEBRASKA BILI.--The plan of the friends of
this bill was TO push through the House with
out having it thoroughly discussed in commit
tee of the whole, as great national questions
always are. But they failed in the attempt.
The bill went to the committee of the whole on
the state of the Union, by considerable ma
its death blow. Many of the Southern mem
bers are now disposed to so against the faith
less measure. Among those is Mr.. Hunt, of
New Orleans, one of the leading Wings (not
Democratic, as some of the papers have stately
members Of the House. Puplic opinion, which
is now pouring upon Congress in perfect foods
is getting too strong for Douglas and the Adj
ministration well to remain steady under. In
Ohio, a State Convention has been held to pro-
test against the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise. Leading men Of both parties parti
cipated in its deliberations Mr.. Chas. Reeme-
lin Il leading German Democrat of that State,
is making speeches in all the large towns and
cities, and arousing powerful feeling in the
breasts of his countrymen against the doings Of
Douglas and his coworkers. In fact, the Ger
man population throughout the country, are
taking most decided ground of opposition to
the measure.
