THE EFFECTS OF PUBLIC ExEcUTIoSs-It is o
question whether or not public executions are
productive of good. On the lth nst three
men, Lyons, Poer and McCauley after having
been permitted to become partially intoxicated,
were executed, in Sonora, by the officers of the
law, in presence of about four thousand specta-
tors. Some Of the incidents Immediately fol-
lowing that public execution, as related by the
Sonora Democrat would seem to argue very for
chilly in opposition to such exhibitions That
paper says:
1--WE learn, as we go to pre- SIS, that a man was
killed last night at kincaid's Flat, in row.
Cause.-The rum drank yesterday at the hang
ing
"a man by the name of VIM Smiley was
killed this morning by person by the name of
Thomas Connolly. They were both intoxicated
Words brought on blows, when Connolly drew
knife and stabbed Smiley in four places Con-
nelly was arrested, and is now in prison.
"a man, whose name we could not learn fell
into a hole near the Halfway House, on the Co.
lumbia road, last night, and was drown ned

Gen. Denver to Brigham Ye-ns.

Gen. Denver, Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
has written letter to Brigham Young, in reply
to one from that functionary in which he exco-
rates that old villain for the improper manner
of his administration of Indian superintendency
in Utah. He tells Brigham Young that he has
exceeded the appropriations for him by more
than S3l 900, and that he has no reason to COM
plain of his drafts not being paid. Gen. Denver
adds:
so far from encouraging amicable relations,
you have studiously endeavored to impress upon
the minds of the Indians that the Mormons are
their friends, and the people of the States are
their enemies"
The rule is to withhold annuites from hostile
Indians, and Gen. D. knows no reason why it
should not be applied to Young
In reply to Young's objection to the presence
of troops, Gen. Denver says:
If it is your intention to preserve peace the
troops will not interfere with you but if you
intend otherwise, then it is necessary that the
troops should be on the ground to enforce it,"
He tells Brigham that his claim for double
salary is against law but that if it shall be as
certaincd that his expenditures were properly
made, he will be paid should Congress make an
appropriation for that purpose.
He concludes by saying that the Executive
has no alternative but to crush out rebellion,
and that for that purpose all the powers ofAthe
government are placed under his control
After reading the letter of the Indian Com
missioner, Brigham will doubtless feel like the
individual of old, who went out after wool and
came back shorn.
ONE OF THE BRAvEs.'-The Nevada Journal
says one Clark, Major in the Vigilance Com
mittee's forces, was met in the streets of that
place, few days since, by John Duane and re-
ceived sundry puIlings of whiskers and slap
pings of face. The meekness with which the
castigation was received induced an opinion il
was not badly out of place. How any man Of
| flesh and blood and armed to boot could pocket
such an insult is beyond the comprehension Of
men whose senses teach them they are alive.

The Death OF 1857 and Birth Of 1883.

That occasion, equally characterized by sad
ness and joy, which can occur but once in each
year-the death of the old and birth of the new
year-was observed in this place after the pecu-
liar fashion of the " "Faderlandn While old
1857 was gasping in the agonies of death, the
Shasta Band we're filling the heavens withst the
plaintive tones their lamentations. Just as be
gave his last kick sufficient amount of powder
was exploded to whip the Mormons with-when
10 1858, fresh and rosy, came forth smiling,
and presto change! the notes from the Band
went carroling over the heavens as merry as
powder were exploded, $50 it appeared to man
upon the hill, where the echoes reveled, laugh
ter rent the air, and evidences of mirthfulness
filled the town. From that hour until daylight
sleepy-heads were permitted to snooze.
We hope every one has had "a happy
New Year."
For ourselves, alas we had to work, work
and didn't have time to make single call u
If, in heaven, men are rewarded with bliss in an
inverse ratio to the misery with which they were
inflicted on earth, the printer has delightful
prospect "on the other side of Jordan" Here
he passes along the hard road of life, never
once meeting the merciful sign, Rest for the
weary and storage for trunks" There he will
be found at least in the ~ Dress Circle" perhaps
with a "Proscenium Box" all to himself while
those who now laugh at and pity him. will be
away down in the Pit"

CUTE.-ln Virginia some months past the re-
spective friends of r. NJ T. Hunter and Henry
A. Wise have engaged in the same sort of Sem
atorial struggle that so long divided the Demo-
cratic party of this State. By the last steamer
we learn that Mr.. Wise has withdrawn his name
from the contest and refuses to be am opponent
of Mr.. Hunter. This withdrawal may in part be
accounted for by the fact that more than four
fifths of the Democratic press of the State had
declared in favor of the reelection of Mr. Hun

Masonic BALL.-The Masonic Ball given in
this place on Monday evening last was certainly
one of the most pleasant affairs of the kind ev-
er had in our town. The arrangements were
so complete, and everything SO admirably con-
Quoted by tie management, that we have yet to
hear of the first complaint. The company in
attendance was quite large. About ninety tick

b@ Long John Wentworth, chief editor of
the leading Black Republican paper of Chicago
and Mayor of said city was recently charged
with stealing mail bags. One of his assistant
editors, Jas. c. Brayman, has recently been con-
victed of robbing the post Office, and sentenced
to the Penitentiary. He plead guilty to the
charge. He was middle aged man in comfort
able circumstances. From advocating stealing
other mems property, (slaves,) he took to put
ting his teachings into practice, and was caught
in the act. His is a melancholy illustration of
the effects of possessing dishonest principles
1t may always be set down as a fact proved,
that the man who justifies stealing under any
circumstances, except to save life, will steal if
opportunity is offered, for love of gain.
