Attached to the legs of one was rope which

that he would choke to death by his own

DOW,Jr.

In speaking Of the death Of e. G. PAIGE,
known in literature as I" Dow, Jr.," and the
author of the Short Patent Sermons"
which have attained q worldwide celebri-
ty, a late San Francisco paper says:
Paige was long ago sad sinner against
loved liquor, and liquor killed
him. He came to this State five years ago,
and. has since been an acceptable writer,
upon the Sup when it shone the brightest,
and upon the Golden Era. whose issue OF
Nov. Ii. contained Dow, Jr.'s last sermon.
Though his constant readers perceived much
repetition Of himself in his last productions,
yet, even to the last, their quaintness, good
sense, and individuality, were astonishing
But his intemperance brought upon him
poverty, desertion Of friends, and loss o.
selfrespect. His wife died two years ago
not early enough to be spared the wretched
vision of his ruin. His only child has beer
for some time in the care Of the Sisters O.
Mercy, in this city, though he paid half The
expense of her education. Paige did moi
die poor. In. his: sane moments he wa
strictly economical and moderate in all hi
expenses. He would live on quarter of 8
dollar day when his pockets were full
The Golden Era Offices had paid him 70,
type setting and sermons, since May, 1855
the handsome sum Of $500. Out of thi.
he had saved enough to purchase two so
vara lots in the city, and the last time ht
was at work in the Era Office, he told :
companion that he was going off for da,
or two to look at another lot which liz
thought of buying. He went on spree
instead, out Of which he never came again
These "sprees'' occurred with him abou
once in six months, and lasted for two o.
three weeks at a time, after which he wen
quietly about his work, kept straight ant
sober, and never crossed any mans path
he could help it. It's not impossible tina
some little money may yet be found belong
ing to him. On the debauch before the las
that he deliberately went into, he made
bank Of the moss-stuffed cusoion of his sea
for SO much as he preferred not to waste.

AN AMERICAN WAR CLOSED.

1t is hard to get or keep the run Of the
wars in South America !; but one has just
terminated after nearly half century's
duration, to the origin of which, style Of
progress and mode Of termination the AL.
bany Evening Journal helps to a clear I'M
Outstanding Of. Upon the great rivers of
the Southern Continent known as the La
Plata and its tributaries, which debouches
into the Atlantic below Brazil, lie several Of
the old provinces, now States; formerly colo
nized by the Spaniards and ruled by SPAIN
When BoNAPARTE seized the Spanish
throne, the celonists of the La Plata Prov
inces threw off their allegiance to the other
country. But they only exchanged, how
ever, despotism for anarchy. Buenos Ayres
the Province controlling the mouths of the
Rivers and concentrating the most wealth,
commerce and population, undertook also
to arrogate the most power. The inland
provinces refused to be domineered over.
War between City and Country broke out.
They have been fighting each other with
occasional intervals, for half century F;
sometimes as distinct States, sometimes as
q constitutional union, sometimes as sub.
jects of Dictatorship. Success at first
perched alternately on the banner of each
section but, later, Rosas, as Captain Gen
eral, welded an imperious sceptre in behalf
of Buenos Ayres over all the rest.
+ The inland Provinces at last asked the
help of foreign bayonets. Commercial and
trading interests made England, France,
Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay come to
their aid. Before such coalition, ofcourse,
the power Of Buenos Ayres went down
Rosas was exiled, few years ago, and Ur-
quiza, the leader Of the inland Provinces
has gradually gained one advantage after
another, until, finally, his sway has become
undisputed.
The last arrival announces the formal
withdrawal of Buenos Ayrean pretensions.
Hereafter the metropolitan province con-
sents to be on equality with the rest. The
Armies are to be disbanded, a constitution
adopted, the debts paid, and Peace promises
at last ia prevail on what has been nearly
fifty years the theatre of War.-Ainneso-

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT
AGAINST THE MORMONS.


The Grand Jury of the Second District
OF Utah Territory, have made Presentment
to Judge Cradlebaugh, in which they thus
speak Of the Mormons and their mode of
government: - -a--
-, All political power, the Legislature and
Territorial offices, are now, and hitherto
have been, under the control and disposal of
the Mormon Church.
The gentiles, so called, (those apart from
the Mormon Church, have been allowed no
political power, have exercised no influence
upon the Legislature; and instead Of protec-
ton, have only found abuse and opperess.
ion in the laws enacted by their local Leg
stature. The Mormon population far ex-
ceeds that ofother citizens !; they reside near
the seat OF Government, and possess every
ability to perpetuate by force and fraud their
present Theocratic Tyranny. This condi-
ton OF things, socially and politically, So op-
Presslve to the people Of this district, loud
~ demands redress, and is a rebuke to our
national boast of equal laws and equal lib
erty.
We further make reference to the follow
ing grievances, which are as disgraceful to
the ago OF our country, as they are oppres-
lsive to US.
The Mormon people are at present bitter
y hostile to the government Of the United
States, are in constant practice of violating
the Organic Act, and commit daily outrages
upon the persons and liberty of American
citizens.
They make and unmake laws ad libitun,,
without regard to the Constitution, and com-
NIT and. the highest crimes in defiance OF
the United States authority, and in contempt
OF law, deride the federal Judges and resist
the executive officers In their legislature
they make purely special laws, and in vio-
iat'on Of the Constitution. In their admin.
lstrasloa of law they screen crime and op.
press the right, and DISTINGUISHING and muir
der'ns individuals merely for being Ameri-
can citizens
Fhey prostitute their females and have
debauched Helpless American women and
with systematic barbarity have melted In.
dian savages to attack large bodies; Of unpro.
tected people. We might prolong this de.
tail Of infamy and crime Of the Catalogue O.

i Whether this security can bsst be had in
the creation of a new territory, or IN indie
pendant Judicial district with right OF ap.
peal to the U. S. Circuit court OF California

Another consideration that is the first to

Another consideration that is the first to
seize upon the mind, is the incentive that
would be given for the attainment and pres
ervation Of good reputation, by the passage
of this measure. AS the motives for false
hood would be removed, so those for obtain
ing and preserving q good name, would bs
strengthened, and thus the character of the
whole community, elevated.
An objection, is the general inconvenience
the abolition Of credit would produce. This
Is over estimated. Those that have a good
name, would not disgrace themselves when
they had been accommodated upon the as.
surance Of their honor solely--and no 9th.
ers should have credit--and the pay down
principle having become universal, would
be found equally convenient, while habit.
Of economy would he strengthened and ex.
penses reduced without inconvenience, and
thus the general prosperity enhanced.
1t is unnecessary to dwell longer upon
these considerations. The general embar
rassment has caused every one to trace the
reason of the hard times to the true source
the extravaganza Of the people and that
this has been fos:ered-in fact created-en.
tlrely ty the credit system-and that if thi:
is done away, the whole train Of its disas

the public sentiment is ripe for this meas
uro. and that no legislation can be product

satisfaction.
