Fate of the Recusants.

The New York Herald, Jealous Fremont pa
per in the last Presidential canvass, but now {
prominent and influential organ of the Admins
ration, demands the summary execution of the
Democrats who oppose the Lecompton Consti
tuition. 1t says;
"From our special Washington advices in this
mornings issue it appears that some Of the more
magnanimous friends of the Presidents Kansas
policy are casting about for the basis OF an act
IF amnesty in behalf of Douglas, Wise, Stanton,
Forney aud their rebellious followers Of the an
ii Lecompton Democracy The generosity Of
any such proceeding no man could questl on;
out the expediency of an act of pardon to these
rebels, after all the mischief they have made Is
very doubtful Should they plead guilty, con-
less Judgment, and promise unconditional loyal.
~ for the future, they might be forgiven and
restored to confidence; but in the absence Of q
full repentance and confession, the hes. course,
we think, would be to cart them off to the gull
lotne-two at time-beginuing with Walker
and Douglas"
The Herald expresses some sympathy for
Douglas, but as for Wise, it says, he is without
the shadow of plausible excuse for his rebel,
lious and singularly erratic conduct. 1t must
be excessively mortifying to the old-liuers Walk,
er, Forney and Others to be executed by such
hangman as the Herald.

LATER FROM MExIoo.-By the arrival of the
steamship Tennessee at New Orleans, from We,
ra Cruz, we have two weeks later news from
Mexico. From the accounts in the papers, the
country appears to be in q most deplorabe con-
dition, in state of actual anarchy. The Extra
ordinary says that robbery succeeds robbery up
on the public highways in such rapid succession
that merchants will soon be forced to suspend en-
tirely bringing goods to the capital 1t says it is
almost impossible to conceive the real condition
of things, much less to convey any just idea OF
| it to persons at distance. The Zuloaga seems
to be absolutely powerless to establish order
A desperate conflict was expected to take place
about the 9th or 7th inst, at Celaya, the gov
eminent forces and the opposition being about
eoual as to forces, each having some 5000 troops.
The Extraordinary has no hope Of peace Tor a
long time. The Zuloaga government bad made
forced levy to soldiers, and for this pur-
pose was seizng upon servants as they issue
from the houses of their employers. Zuloaga, it
appears. has appointed Governors to the States,
districts and cities, but the appointees were ut
terly unable to assume their functions, and do
not dare even to attempt to. The JuareZ, or
Federal Government was at GuadalaJara, and
its friends report that the States Of the interior
are combining to overthrow that of Zuloaga.-
The forces of the latter, it was supposed, would
soon attack the State of Vera Cruz. What the
upshot of this terrible state of the country will
be no human prescience can tell. 1t is a horrid
and bloody commentary upon revolution as a
remedy for the existence of political evils.

THE WINTER IN EuRoPE.-Contrary to the ex-
perience of early and mid-winter on this side OF
the Atlantic, those seasons in Europe have this
year been remarkably severe, even in rather
Southern ATTITUDES. In the Island of Malta, which
is not far from the African coast, the snow was
several feet deep, and this was the first snow
storm of consequence there since 1912, year
that will be ever memorable for the disastrous
Russian campaign of the first Napoleon. At
Constantinople, up to the Srd ult., snow fell for
fifteen days in succession, and so terrible win
ter had not been experienced in Turkey for
twenty years. The navigation with Odessa was
entirely closed, and the Greek Islands were
clothed in white. For the first time in GEN.
fury the river Po Italy, had been frozen tight,
so that men, horses and vehicles passed over its
surface. In Smyrna, generally SO free from win
ter, the frost and snow have oecasioned much
inconvenience and suffering In many towns
in Turkey and Greece the roofs of houses had
fallen in from the weight of snow accumulated
upon them. This reminds US of the records of
former ages, when, between the years 1000 and
1900, the Fiber and even the Adriatic Sea were
several times frozen hard-the latter near Ven.
ice and Trieste. There has also been a heavy
fall of snow in Egypt. Such an occurrence is
not within the recollection of the oldest resi-
dents of that country.

THE FAMILY OF JOE SMITH-A correspondent
of the Missouri Republican gives an account OF
the family of Joe Smith, the founder of Nor
monism, VIII I'm he had visited at their residence,
near Nauvoo, Illinois. The widow is now mar
ried to man named Ottoman. She is ma
tive of New York, and masculine, intelligent
looking woman of forty five or forty seven years.
She has splendid farm some four miles from
Nauvoo, which is managed by her two eldest
sons, while David goes to school. About the
two eldest there is nothing remarkable to be
seen. They are intelligent men of large size,
but have nothing in their appearance betoken-
ing them to be prophets, or "sons of prophet"
To their mother they are said to be very much
attached and very kind. David is an uncom-
monty intelligent lad, of massive forehead, and
bright, expressive eyes. His step-father intima-
ted that he cares as little about Mornons and
Mormonism as one that never heard the names,
notwithstanding that thousands of the followers
of his father believe him to be a great high
priest, prophet and seer, Gin embryo) &c. He
knows that they worship his name equal to that
of Jesus Christ; and yet, says the writer, am
told the lad is too intelligent to allow it to make
any impression upon him. Probably the fact Of
all the family being unbelievers in it is the cause
