Coz. JOHNSON, who has thus far so success
fully encountered and overcome all the diff
culties as commander of the Utah forces, and
who would doubtless have continued to carry
cut successfully the instructions of his super
iors, has been superseded by order of the
President. This step is explained by those
conversant with Executive action and motives
by the fact tIlath is a Kentuckian, and an es-
pecial friend OF Senator Crittenden. whose
able and manly opposition to the Lecompton
swindle has made him especially odious to
the fire-eaters and their patron the Presi-
reached, he is to be punished by having his
particular friends prescribed.

The STATE JoUREAL-Gen. VIM. SoHoU-
L Err, for the last two years editor of this
sheet, takes leave of its readers in the issue
for Tuesday last. He retires for the very
good reason that he scan do better elsewhere,
and designs returning to Boston, his old
home, where he will resume his old vocation
by assuming the editorial control of one OF
the daily journals OF that city. The Gen
ieral is a genial, w~arm-hearted gentle man,
an experienced and able editor and though OBJ
pressed in his late situation by that most de-
pressing of all newspaper affections, the
want of a generous, remunerat ing aud mer-
tied support from the party whose cause it
advocates, he made the Journal an interest
ing and valuable sheet, and a most efficient
lnborer in the good cause. We wish him
abundant success in his new field of labor.
The successor of Gen. S. has not yet
been designated-but in the meantime his
late partner, Mr.. GAKGEWER, will occupy the
tripod, and acceptably too, we doubt not, as
he is a gentleman of fair ability and consid-
cradle experience in the business.

ConeREss.-In the Senate the report of
the Kansas conference committee has been
under consideration, and at last accounts was
not disposed OF. 1t will of course pass that
body, though Messrs. Crittenden and Bell,
Douglass, Stewart, Broderick, and ali the
Republican Senators oppose it.
The House has again defeated the Def
cheney Bill, by refusing to agree to Senate
amendments-which will probably lead 10
another committee of conference. The bill
proposing to grant pensions to the soldiers OF
the war of 1919 has been under considera-
ton in committee of the whole and its au-
thor, Mr.. Savage, of Tenn, made an elo-
quent appeal in favor of its passage, but
nothing had yet transpired to indicate it:
probable fate. The report of the Kansas
con- erenee committee was also at last adyi
ces before this body, and was probably dis
posed OF yesterday. II is a miserable Jug

emphatically IN Wednesday last in answer

The "Standard5s attempts a defense Of

is labor in vain, however. The people can
understand and appreciate a measure of the
Kind. and will not fail to hold its authors and
defenders to a strict accountability. He
c~onjures up a serious difficulty in the present
system, predfcated upon the liability of The
proprietor Of the Bank in which The finds

the funds world go into the hands of an Ad-
fhinistrator or Executor, and be beyond the
reach of tie county, perhaps for years.

may die, as well as a sub-treasury may be
robbed OF a shb-tteashrer prove unfaithfnl to

the modes of doing Business adopted by bank
ers or brokers, we are inclined 20 tlsirk that

woald rot be Beyond the reach of those en-
titled to withdraw theu4---but be that as il
may, these faf-fetciea and fne-spun con-
tihgent difficulties have moi a feathers weigh,
when put in the balance with The gross, pal
rable and self evident defects, crudities and
absdrdilies Of this pet Democratic measure.
Our neighbor seems to have an especial
aversion to hrokers---a class that we are I'M
der no obligations to, and do not feel called
upou to defend. But viewing them as he
processes to, the advocacy of this measure is
a matter of surprise---for one of the direct
and inevitable effects of the bill is to es-
p@ecialiy favor them, and vastly increase their
number by compelling every County Treas
urer in the State to become a broker in the
most odious sense Of the term---a regular and
systematic sorter of bills, for the purpose of
running them home on the banks and with
drawing their specie.

shocking Anal i'm Fairaeia Cedaty~


On Monday evening of this week, we are

NisIey aged fifteen years, in company with
her little brother, were engaged in burning
brush upon their fathers farm, some dis
lance from the house, when her clothes
caught FIRE and she was fatally burned. Il
appears that finding her efforts to extinguish
the flames unavailing, she started for the
house after running about enc hundred yards

ment in which she was e~ncompasssed, and
sank to the ground. Her little brother ran
to the house ard alarmed the family, who

The trial of IRA SroUT, at Rochester N. Y,
for tile murder in connection with his sister.
Mrs. Titles, ofthe husband of the latter, has
resulted in his conviction, and he has been
sentenced to death. The fate of the lister
will doubtless be the same. The killing W as
admitted by the accused, who claimed that
it was not premeditated, and hoped to es-
cape with a conviction for manslaughter.--
The Evidence against him was, however,
conclusive as to his guilt of deliberate MUIR
der. The principal witnesses were the mo-
Their aud brothers of the accused, and a child
of the deceased, and the evidence developed
one of the most terrible tragedies on record.
The deceased, who seems to have been a Ii
c%entious and depraved man, was inveigled to
the balk of the Gennesee river, above the
falls, murdered and thrown over, his murder
ers going down the enbankment with him,
sustaining serious injuries, and leaving on the
bushes and crags sundry articles OF jewelry
pus clothing, by means Of which they
were detected. !

FUNERAL OF THE REV. Dudley A TYING.
If we except the funeral cbsequies of DR..
Kane, which took place on the 18th day of
March, ~lS57-wLich were Of a public char
acter-there has not been a funeral service
in this cry for many years, in which rs great
a number Of our citizens manifested adesire
to particip ate, as that " hich We are DOW a.
bout to chronicle.
The announcement IN the morning papers
that the. funeral services of Dudley A Tying
were Ia take place at Concert Hall on The
afternoon of yesterday, was the signal for
bringing tlfeasaEads 10 that LEGALITY, even
long before the appointed hour. Immedi-
ately after the adjournment of the midday
prayer meeting at Jayne's Hall a large
number Of. persons, chiefly ladies, proceed
ed 10 Concert Hall, to secure an early adj
mission in anticipation of a crowd. At two
O'Clock precisely the doors on Chestnut
street we're thrown open, but to the aston
islimeDt of those who attempted to enter the
hall was even at that hour found densely fl
led with persons who had been admitted
from the rear entrance, beginning as early
it IS said, as 10 o'clock in the morning. To-
wards 8 o'clock-the hour at which the SER
vices were announced to commemorative
throng of applicants for admission became
immense. The front entrance had been
cut off from sheer want of room to receive
any more into the space allotted to those
who were not specially invited to be present
aud at the rear door the most rigid scrutiny
enforced in. order tc admit no new corners
but the following: C~lergymen and their
wives; members of the Church of the Co
venant. of which Mr.. Tying was pastor; Sab
batll-school teachers and pupils belonging to
the. congregation; members efthe Young
Mems Christian Association, and the imme-
diate members OF the family. The disap-
pointsnent in not being admitted was ex-
ceedingly painful 10 many. Even the ladies
were uniformly subjected 10 this absolute
refusal. Every plea imaginable was resor-
ted 70. but to no effect;
At FIVE minutes after three o'clock, the
hearse arrived in front OF the hall. AT this
time there could have been no less than ten
thousand persons collected on Chestnut
street, within a square of the hall, wailing
the funeral cortcge. ~
An opening way being made to admit the
coffin, several Episcopal c%lergynlen were sta-
toned at the foot Of the aisle to, receive it.,
The appearance .ofthe coffin containing the
body Of The d departed one was the signal for
a burst Of grief, such as it has rarely been
our lot TO witness in a public assembly and
as the remains were conducted along the
asiIe, followed by several clergyman who
were headed by the venerable bishop, (who
as he moved along, repeated a portion of the
burial service,) audible sounds
Of sorrow and lameniation were heard in ev-
cry part ofthe house.--[Phil. rress:

PUBLIC LANDS FOR CoLLEGEs.--The
House yesterday by a vote ofyeas I04 to nays
lo1, passed a bill appropriating an immense
slice of Uncle Sans big farm to a good use,
the endowment of Agricultural colleges in
the several states. Over six millions and a
quarter of acres are thus appropriated by the
bill, to be divided among The States in a.
mount equal to 10000 acres for each senator
und Representative to which the States
are o respectively e%ntitled, The money de-
rived from the sales to be invested in Omitted
States and other stocks yielding rot less
than 8 per cent, TO constitute a perpetual
fund, the interest of which shall inViolably
appropriated to the endowment and support
of Colleges in which such branches as relate
to Agrienltsre -und- the Mechanfo-AEts
shall be prominent studies, but without ex-
Guiding other scientific or classical instruc-
tons. The great object OF the institutions
shall be to promote a liberal practical edit
cation of tfe industrial classes in the seye-
raj pursuits and professions of life.
The enactment of this bill will go fer to
redeem the character ofthe presen Congress
which SO far had been a struggle of the mi
nority to prevent the abasement of man and
the leading pursuits of the masses by the Ad-
