How Forner Stands.


John W. Forney, being asked lately by
certain Republicans as to what position he
would take politically, if he should be cleo
ted Cleik of the House of Representatives
replied:
"I oppose the present Administration, but
| am a Democrat. If should be elected
Clerk of the House, my appointments would
be Democratic"
Fornev has been accused of IN intention
to abandon the Democratic party and &c
over TO the Republicans. This does not look
mnch like it.
Fanatical Administration shallowpatec
greatly err when they suppose that oppos
ton to the Administration is opposition to the
Democratic party, The best Democrats in
the Unien, both North and South, have beer
opposed to the policy of the present Admin
istraton, in several very notable features
Yet, they are Democrats in good standing
even in the eyes of the unconditional and un
qualified friends of the Administration.
Such men as Hunter, and Soule, and Ham
mond have differed with the President at
widely on some matters as Forney has upon
Others, and yet no one questions their perfect
right to have differed to the fullest extent o
their own good pleasure.
1t does not follow, by any manner o.
means that man is a Republican, because
he differs with the present Administration
Men who blindly subscribe to everything
that the Administration does, right or wrong
are worse than Republicans. They are men

s.I am going to Los AngeIes.n


/ am going to Los Angeiss. Thus spoke a
young man in reply to question which was
asked him. He was young lawyer in lit
Tie town of Calayeras, in good practice, well
read in the law and eloquent at the bar. As
the stage for the Southern country drove up
to the door Of the hotel at which he was stop
ping. he stepped into q room where were
assembled number Of his friends, and, in a
very solemn manner, bade them all fdre'0eH
adding that it might be long time before
they should see him again. They very nat
urally asked him where he was going. He
replied. with melancholy smile; - am go
ing to Los angeles" They all shook hands
with him, and he departed. A few moments
after his leaving the door, the report Of a pis-
tol was heard in one of the rooms, and, in
great CONSERVATION, every one in the house
rushed to the scene In the room occupied
by the young lawy er. he was found stretched
upon the floor, dead,--a pistol in his right
hand. which was clutched convulsively, and
hole through his skull from which the blood
and brains oozed freely. He had murdered
himself
In the Spanish, Los Angeies signifies "The
Angels" or the land Of the angels. AT the sight
oftbis bloody and fearful spectacle, the mean
ing of his late reply was apparent to the
friends who hadquestioned him. lie did not
mean that he was going to the county of Los
Angeles, as they had understood him, but
that he was taking far lengthier journey
he was going to the Land of the Angels-the
far land of the dead
1t was a wonder to many that young man
SO brilliant, so promising, so loved and ad-
mired, so sure of fame and fortune and all
that usually makes life happy, should thus
cut himself of, in the very flush and glow of
his manhood, from the thousand charms of
existence. But, he had sorrow which
weighed him to the earth. lie had loved and
been deceived. He had layished his affec-
tions upon beautiful but heartless creature
"A vain coquette who had trihed with his
feelings; who had led him to believe that she
loved him: who had showered her smiles up
on him, and answered him with an icy re-
pulse when he came to offer his name and
hopes and manhood at her shrine. There are
some who can bear these disappointments,
but there are fner.strung natures which can
net His was one of these. Thenceforth all
his life was a discord. The music Of his soul
was gone. Ambition had no more incentives
to him, glory had lost its charms, his life was
a blank. and he hoped for rest in the Land of
the Angels Let us hope that he found it.
The above is a true tale, and we tell it for
no other reason than that it is true. III
have moral at all, it is that the warm and
generous affections of honest hearts should
not be trified with; that il is no less crime
than murder, to strike down tha bright hopes
of human SOUL and drive it to despair.

THE execution Of Jenkins and Elder, at
Quincy. Plumas county, on Friday last, was
witnessed by about three hundred persons
The Argus says:
They died with good degree of frmness,
and expressing firm reliance in the promi
ses Of the gospel protesting to have sought
and found forgiveness for all their trans.
gressions. Both prisoners addressed the
party, who were assembled, in compliance
with the requirements of the law, urging
them to take warning from their fate and
avoid the practices that led to their final
doom. Jenkins further confessed that he had
liberated himself from his chains and had
them tied with a string, intending to jump
from the carriage, on his way to the gallows,
and take the chances of making his escape
to the woods, but mature consideration de-
cided him to submit to his fate fearing that
a return to the world might be followed by
return to his sinful course, and loss Of his
hopes ofheayen.

WE PREFER THE OVERLAND MAILs.-We sell
dom agree with the views set forth by the
New Y York Tribune, but its opinion that all
the mails to the Pacific ought to be concen-
trated into one grand passage overland, suits
us exactly. In this opinion many leading
men Of the country, belonging to all parties,
coincide. The Overland Mails, notwithstand
ing Indian troubles, come very regularly
and small additional military force woul(
protect them completely. Indeed, mer,
fraction of the sum paid to the Steamship
Companies would maintain the proper fore,
upon the route for the protection of the mails
The mails across the Plains can be brought
in much shorter time than by sea. and there
is no necessity for employing steamships at
all.
The steamers must ultimately be superse-
ded, first by the overland stages and next
by the Pacific Railroad, and they may as
well be discarded, for the mail service, at one
time as another The sooner the better.

MATTERS IN MoRMoNDoM-Two afidavits,
sworn to before Judge Eckles of the Supreme
Court of Utah Territory, on the 10th and
goth of September last, have been published
and 60 to prove that the massacre of por-
tion of Mr.. Miltmore's emigrant party, near
Fort Hall, was committed 10y Mormons, or at
least under their lead and direction. One of
the parties testifying belonged to the Milt-
imore train, and says that the men who at
tackled them spoke good English, and several
of them were heard. Their dress and color,
however, would denote them TO be Indians
There were nineteen persons in the emigrant
party, eleven of whom made their escape
Mr.. Miltimore was the first one killed The
affair took place on the 3lst day of August
last. The deponent says:
Three days after this we came up with a
party of United States troops, under com
mand of Lieut.. Livingston, who sent party
of nine persons to aid Others to escape, If
they yet lived. When they returned, they
reported that they had found five dead bo-
dies; and three are missing, including Mrs.
Miltimore. A daughter of hers, aged about
five years, was found with her legs and ears
cut off. her eyes gouged out, and scalped.
The party was from Iowa.
The following is n portion Of another afi-
davit, also by an emigrant:
Afiant came on to Salt Lake City, where
he remained for few days, and being ac-
quainted somewhat with Mormonism, he in
duced the Mormons to believe that he had
come to the Territory to find permanent
home. While there woman, who has
heavy scar on the forehead, over the left eve,
but whose name he did not know, informed
him that there was about l25 or 1870 Nor
mons and about $50 Indians out in Goose
Creek Valley, and that if he (affiant) would
go out there to them, he could make "a pile, ("
meaning money, and intimated to him that
the money was to be made by robbing emf
grant trains, in company with the parties
mentioned. He has since seen portion of
Mr. Miltimore's party here at Camp Floyd,
who informed him that their party had been
attacked and eight of them killed about rs
miles before reaching Goose Creek Valley.
