ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR SPEAKER.-The Red
Bluffs Beacon is out in favor Of Col. E. ]. Lew
is for Speaker of the Assembly. Four candi-
dates are now in the field-Maj. W. W. Mccoy,
Of Santa Clara; A. G. Stakes, of San Joaquin,
N. Whitcsidcs. of Yuba, and Col Lewis, of
Colusi. A prompt, energetic, business man
man of experience and ability, one familiar
with Parliamentary rules, should be selected,
not an indolent, careless, "clcver fellow
Prompt, industrious Speakers make short ses-
sions-indolcnt Speakers protracted ones. Mr..
Whitcsides is more frequently and favorably
mentioned than any Of his competitors, and it
seems TO be conceded that he will be the
strongest candidate in caucus.

NEEDS ANExDMEXr.-Thc legislature, at its
coming session. says the Placer Herald, will
have to amend the Stamp Tax Law, as the San
Francisco bankers are dodging it. The law
imposes small tax on bills of exchange drawn
here and payable without the State, but moth
ing on bills Of lading for treasure shipped from
the country. Many persons in San Francisco
take advantage Of this, and instead of buying
exchange, ship the treasure, and thereby save
the tax. The "purest and best" in that pre-
emincntly moral city, never hesitate to evade
the law when they can make money, by doing
so, and escape punishment. 1t is triAing mat
ter to defraud the State, but serious crime to
observe the laws!

REVOLVING SrEcrAcLE.-Th heart sickens
and the blood freezes in reading the account Of
the execution Of the murdercrs Poer, Lyons
and McCauley, at Sonora OH Friday the llth
instant. The miserable wretchcs stepped upon
the scaffold in n state Of bcastly intOxication.
An immense number Of persons witnessed the
execution. The Union UtmOcyut thus notices
the revolving exhibition:
About o'clock, the heretofore solemn spectacle
changed TO perfect farce rather tragedy, the
most horrid ana SicEcning Imaginable. The prison
had been furnished with such quantities Of bran
dy that with the exception Of Lyons, they were ab-
sOlutely staggering with drunkenness. The solemn
warning now followed by bar.rOom toasts, brag
gadOcia, jests and boasts.
Pocr was so much intoxicated that he was CON-
PEELED to be supported after the rope was adjusted
around his neck, while MrCauley last Words forget
hl Of his peevlOus repentance, were ~ am going to
die game, by G." And thus they died-launched

Mrs. Henry A. CRABB.-It is the current be-

Is n great mistake, although the relations and
friends Of that lady were led to believe that
such would be the case. The Superintendent
Of the Mint promised her place, but forgot tn
fulfill his promise. No truer, braver, better
man than Henry A. Crabb ever lived in Cali
fornia. True to his friends, magnanimOus to
his enemies, just and generous to a fault, he
WAS the very soul Of honor, and every one who
knew him mourns his tragic death. II is to be

lInsatiOns Of Yankee character. He Is u regular
brick y" whole team by himself" Ills O"fre dress,
hs voice. his look his movements, all are calculated
70 cause merriment. His first appearance, before
utteEng, word caused broad grin to steal over the
faces Of his audience, which soon broke out fl q
loud, hearty and sincere burst Of laughter That
fAce and laugh Of his are worth fortune, and to use
phrase quite uncommon, "must he seen and heard to
Be appreciated" In his own peculiar style he has
few eQualS-nOne that have visited California "an

Leonard an actress In her line, OF no ordinary merit
she Is full Of SprIghuIness, dances and sings wc'
and b always up In her parts. Mr.. Mitchell is an old

Tonight Yankee Addams appears In several Of his
best pieces and this Is his last appearance we would
advise those who have not seen him, who fond Of
sport, who eau enjoy hearty laugh To to the thea
