HAxLxr AT THE BROADWAY TmsArRs --Sbakspero's
great tragedy Of Hamlet last night produced at this
theatre The attendance Of the public very large
and, we need scarcely say, Il consisted OF the most
fashionable and critical OF citizens Tho drama was
represented by leading actors we'll known to fame,
and the bench and bar not without their repre-
senatives Considering the limited advantages and re-
sources Of this small theatre for bringing out spectacular
pieces we must say that Hamlet was very successfully
played OF Mr. and Mrs Kcan there can lie but one
cpinion-they are always favortes, because they are
always great Yet must say that we prefer Mr. kcsn
In almost any Of his other roles to the one he sustained
last night with larger stage and more effective sup
por the piece would have been better rendered yet oil
that could be done under the circumstances was done,
and we'll done. The Ophea Of Miss Chapman was In
every way commendable and that lady deserves word
Of praise and encouragement does Ms Cathcart FOR
the energy and spirit with which he played the part OF

THANKSGIVING AND FAST DAYs.-The Presi-
dent Of the United States and the Cover
nors of the several States should be supplied
with an almanac Of each Of our religious de-
nominations SO that In the appointment Of
Thanksgiving and fast days they may not come
into collision with some important festival or
saints day Of this church, that or the other.
Gov. Fcnton made serious mistake in appoint
ing Good Friday as day of thanksgiving; but
this was negligence. President johnson, how
ever, with a Christian almanac before him,
would not have named Ascension day for day
of mourning. The Episcopalians appealed for
q change, and the day was changed accordingly
to the LIST of June; but here the Jews come in
with the plea that this arrangement will inter-
fere with their great festival Of Strenuous, and
oil for the want Of Jewish almanac. If our
religious societies wish tho President or the
Governor to respect their church calendars
they must send in their almanacs.

PRESIDENT LrNcoIN's RETURN TO ILLINOIS
When Abraham Lincoln, as President elect, in
1861, left Springfield, Illinois, for Washington,
he was comparatively an unknown man,
charged with the heaviest responsibilities that
ever fell upon mortal shoulders. After sub
stantially finishing his great work, to the
admiration of the country and the ap-
proval of all honest and impartial men
of the world. his mortal remains are borne
back to Illinois with such honors as were
never bestowed upon mortal man before
His funeral procession, starting from Washing
ton on Wednesday, the 10th Of April, reached
the tomb at Springfield on Thursday, the 4th
Of May, thus extending through fifteen days,
over line of thousands Of miles, along which
the precious body Of the nations martyred
leader was honored with every possible mani
festation Of grief and veneration by millions Of
people. Truly has he returned to Illinois
mighty conqueror, lifted to the side Of Wash
ington from his glorious work, and mourned in
every house, from the Atlantic to tae Pacific, as
the head of the family cruelty taken away.
Mount Vernon and Springfield are widely sepa-
rated, but henceforth the visitor to either will
pay his tribute to both.

Our FINANCIAL SrATUs.-We have accom-
plished extraordinary things in this country
within the past Sour years, causing no little
with the stupcndous rebellion and put ii down,
the vast military resMlrccs which we developed,
tho strength manifested by our governments
when, under circumstances unparalleled in this
country, its elected head was assasslnated, and
vet the stream OF government dowed on. wit,-
ou. ripple disturbing it's surface, save the
shadow of grief which fell upon tho land--all
these events are beyond the comprehension OF
the people Of Europe. But they have yet to
witness the most remarkable and novel of all
the events arising out of this war, and that is
tho capacity of the country to pay the dobt
which the war has created.
II Is notorious fact that no country
in Europe has ever paid its war debts.
From England, with It's four thousand mil-
lions of dollars of national debt, down
to the smallest Powers of Germany, they
have never been nble to do more than pay
the interest, and that by heavy taxation on
the people. They have, on The contrary, been
increasing, but never paying off, their debt
But how is it with usS The debt accumulated
by the war of the Revolution and that Of 1872
was not only paid off in few years,
but, in the time Of Jackson, we had snr-
plus of forty or Gay millions, which was dis
tributed among the States for the purposes of
education, and it was not until twenty years
had elapsed that the last State accepted Its
quota The money had, in fact, almost to DO
forced upon them. The debt incurred by this
war, now Just concluded. immense as it may
be, will be paid off in few years The genera
ton now living will see IL liquidated, and With
out expressing the people with taxation to
greater extent than they feel the taxation Of to-
day We have borrowed nothing Of foreign
Powers, but have carried on tie war entirely
with our own rcsources--have supplied our
own fighting material and our own money,
while foreign nations were supplying the ene-
my with all that was needed in the way of
loans and munitions of war, to be used against
us.
This is something in the history Of great
wars which the world has never before exhib-
tied, and it is only country with such bound
less resources and such free and firm govern
mcnt that could accomplish 1t. Despite the
severe struggle through which we have passed
our financial status to-day is without example.
The New York herald., 1865-05-06

dent that the government can be supplied with
money almost without limit, 50 complete is the
confidence in its solvency, and so abundant are
the financial means to meet all its requirements.
The resources Of this country are not half de-
veloped. As the demands upon them increase,
SO do they yield out Of their abundance the
wherewiihal to supply these demands, and the
time is now com ng when this fact viii be more
fully realized than ever before.

CRIMINAL CAsEs.-All the criminal ca
ses on the docket in the District Court have
been disposed of during the week.
Pete Snellback was found guilty of pass
ing counterfeit gold dust and sentenced to
one years imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The. cases of VIM Adams, (alias I" Six
Toed Peter and R. Waddingham were
brought up separately-the former on Tues
day and the latter on Wednesday. Both
were found guilty and sentenced to the pen
itentiary for life. Pete was admitted as
witness for Waddingham, and testified that
he was innocent of the crime charged, and
that he (Pete) alone was guilty; but Nc
Donald, the man upon whom the robbery was
committed, testified to the contrary. The
Jury, in such cases, agree upon the SEN
tence. According to the statutes the
punishment for the crime committed,
assault and robbery-is either death
or Imprisonment for life; hence the jury,
finding them guilty, could not have been
more lenient, Pete" manifested consider
able emotion and wept bitterly upon re
ceiving his sentence, but Waddingham,
pleading Innocence, did not appear to be
greatly affected. In passing sentence upon
the latter, the judge very justly remarked
that perhaps the law, in such cases, was too
severe, but it had evidently been passed
with view to suppressing the system of
highway robbery which has been SO exten-
sively practiced in this country yet, in a
country like this, where every man could SO
easily make an honest living, a person
proven to be Ioitiyely guilty of such a
crime was entitled to but little sympathy Ell
ther from jury, court or community.
The prisoners are confined in the county
Jail, at the expense of the Territory, where
they must remain until a Territorial peniten-
tiary is built.

Friday Evening,
HUNG BY THE VIGILANCE COMMITTEE.

HUNG BY THE VIGILANCE COMMITTEE.
The present week has been one Of ex-
citement in this community, on account of
the hanging of several men by the Vigil
ance Committee Although reports have
been current every day ofmen being found
hung up in every direction, only four are
positively known to have been hung, and
the reports in regard to others are no doubt
without foundation. On Sunday morning
man named Mckenzie was found hanging
to limb near the race track, short dis
tance below town. He was brought into
town during the day by Coroner Horton,
and taken to the cemetery and buried. 1t
appears, from reliable testimony, that Nc
Kenzie was cattle thief, and had charge of
the cattle stolen from Mr.. Jetfries, spoken
of in last weeks paper; that he was found
with the cattle last Tuesday, captured and
hanged the same night. He has been about
the city for some months, often disappearing
and being absent for days at time, and re-
turning to and departing from his hotel at
all hours of the night, leggined and spurred
as if he had been riding. He appeared to
be morose in disposition, seldom engaging
in conversation with others, and although
his conduct did not at the time excite par
ticular suspicion, the occasion of his fre-
quent and unreasonable rides seems now to
b, fully explained. 1t is said that he was
skaown also by the name of Reynolds, and
crossed the plains two years ago. He was
Of sandy complexion and about twenty-four
years of age. eg r
Two men, named Issac Reed and VIM
Wills, were caught by the Committee Last
week near Wallula, tried and convicted of
horse stealing and brought up on to the Wal
IA Walla river and hung. These men con-
feSsed their guilt, and acknowledged belong
ing to band of horse and cattle thieves
who had secreted lot of stolen horses on
the Columbia river above Wallula. They
also stated that the band got into a fight
Ut their rendezvous, some time ago, among
Themselves and killed one of their number
Fifteen stolen horses were captured with
these men, Reed and Wills were, respec-
tiyely, about twenty -four years of age
They were formerly from Mollalla, Oregon
but Reed has lived for the past five or six
years near the Dalles
The tall, thiek-lipped negro, known as
"Slim jim" completes the list. He was
found on Tuesday, hanging to tree about
three-fourths of mile east of town. He
has been known in the community as
thief, and several petty larcenics have been
traced to him. He is the darkey that fur
nished " Pete" and Waddingham the instru.
fnehts with which they effected their escape
from the Jail short time ago He was at
one time convict in the Oregon penitept,a-
ry, and last summer killed colored man in
the Boise Basin On the day that he was
found hanging, horse that he had stolen
month or two ago and cached on Cotton
wood creek, was recovered and broughtin to
town by the owner. ol -ooa9e
