MRS. FAIR.-There are many women

MRS. FAIR.-There are many women
IN this city who do not pass their time
half SO p~leasantly as Mrs. Fair does,
although she is a condemned muir
deress and is deprived OF her liberty
on that account. During the time she
has been at the County Jail pa per-
mits have been issued from the
Sheritf's office, most OF which were
for the admission of the masculine
female friends of the unhuny murder
ess. Besides this she has received
over 50 visits from men and women
who are supposed to be her bosom
friends and do not need passes, being
constant sources of annoyance to the
taller and Captain Siedenstriker, who
OMEN the door for them. Among the
latter may be mentioned Mrs. Highly,
who has so far recovered from her en-
counter with the ierocious individual
with an umbrella under his arm, that
she is able to walk all the way from
her room to the cell of Mrs. Fair with
out the aid OF a carriage. Her mother,
Mrs. Lane, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs.
HUMPHREYS and Miss Alexander went
TO see her Yesterday, as usual. Emily
Pitts Stephens, for some reason un'
known, has discontinued her visits

SOUTHERN UTAH.-The following
description of hat portion of Utah
called Dixie" we find in the Salt
Lake Tribune. 1t is not inviting and
does not tally with the impressions
which we had conceived of hat re-
gion:
The country know as. Dixie, 1 look
upon as being to Utah what Siberia Is
to Russia. or Botany Bay was to Eng
land, Il place for convictS, and mercy
would even plead and say, do not
send them there. Ii Is a broken,
rough, sandy, rocky. cactus and
prick V pear producing tract: burning
hot, the thermometer reaching ll6 de
grees in the shade, with Very little
water, and that so hot that it reminds
one of new milk from the cow. This
applies to The whole of Dixie, with the
exception of the little patches called
settlements. The people, generally
mlSerabIy poor. are not enjoying the
comforts of life, barely the nece>>a-
rieS. Most Of the settlements have
poor cabins, except n decent house
which turns out to be the Bishops.
They do raise some good fruit and a
little garden stuff. but instead of using
these things thems Ives. they are
obliged, like the poor irishinan who
raises Il pig, To ship Off the sain to
the mines to obtain breadstntf. The

DENVER, (Col.), August 1lth.-A
double murder was committed last
night thirteen miles up the Platte RIVER
from Denver. Geo. Ban>ina and Mrs.
Newton, his sister. Were shot by a Ger
man farm hand named Thee. Meyer.
Bsusina is dead and Mrs. Newton Is
not expected to live. Meyer is
still at large but a large reward Is
offered for his arrest. Mrs. Newton
thinks Meyer was hired to murder
them. II appears that she was mar
sied last Summer to Frendenhall,
who owned the property. but after the
marriage decided it TO her. A quarrel
occurring snon after. Frendenhall left
and Mrs. Newton and her brother
have since lived upon the place. Sus-
picion naturally points to Frenden-
hall as the instigator OF the murder.

THOSE

The resolutions published on Sun
day, by the Enterprise, as having
been passed by the Miners Union OF
Virginia. look very much, as though
they had been cooked up by Senator
Phelan, and his aspiring employer,
for the occasion. We should like
to know what proportion OF the
members of that Union would ,coolfy
and deliberately vote for that reso.
lntion which reads: "Ihat We depre-
cate and condemn in unmeasured
terms the indecent haste displayed
by the Governor of California, H.
H. Haight, in ordering troops, IN
called for. TO Amador. to crush the
workinnmen." Is there a single
member of the Virginia Miners
Union who will say the troops We're
not called for before Haight moved
in the matter-or even thought of it?
Is there one who will assert that the
troops crushed the workingmen, or
that the militia was called out for
that purpose? We will not believe
that there is a man in the Miners
Union so ignorant or SO reckless as
to assert any such thing, and there
fore we think the resolutions we're a
little political Job" cleverly putup
by men who have insinuated them
selves into the Miners Union for po-
~litical purposes only, and who know
as little about practical mining as
they do about chemistry. Such men
will bring disgrace upon any asso,
citation banded together for laudable
purposes, and the Miners Union o.
Virginia City ought at onc to call
meeting. rescind the resolutions anC
expel the tricky politician who go'
them up.

A SCO4CHER.

The Silver State, speaking Of the
disgraceful affair at Piper's Opera
House on the 9TH, uses the follow
ing scathing but philosophical and
truthful language in relation to the
Virginia City strangers and the
cause of the general Generalization
and lawlessness of late existing in
that city:
What better could he expected from
the popuiace OF a city long since sur
rendered to the tender IDef1.ie> of a
brutal and blood thirsty mob of VII
famous cut throatS and midnight as
sas>in~? That the bull and bear
should decline to mutiliate each other
for the especial qualification of their
low and debased instincts was
than their impatient natures conld en-
dure once their turbulent passions
had been aroused by the sight of
blood, and when it was announced
the show WAS over they went for the
animals with the safne wild frenzy
which controlled them when they
>iezed aud murdered Kirk. Thi>
state of semi-savagery in Virginia is
nothing more than the Legitimate of
spring of the teachings OF that Hliiaia-
Gus and law-defying sheet, the Enter
prise. ANY community that wonld
tolerate its existence and feed from
dav to dav on the mental poison
which it disseninateS can expect only
to real a harvest of moral decay ans
social death. While feeding upon the
f~incendiarv virus it scatter> broadcast
among the people ofthat place. "A large
number of them We're seized with an
uncomfortable monoInania for the
destruction of property, which found

until the very existence OF the city
was threatened. But AS properly was
held at q much itiIher est mate than
human life in that corrupt and venai
city it was resolved to substitute or
ganized murder for Individual iucen-
diarisin, and hence the burners of
December are the strangers of JaDil-
arv and June. Asthe teachings OF the
Enterprise have brought the populace
of that city to the moral condition
where either incendiary or mid
night murders are among the iniis-
pensable needs OF the people, and as
bull and bear fights have proved a
very unsatisfactory substitute. A glad
iatorial arena should be established
where the timid and cowardly should

A CENTER SHOT AT GRANT.-The
Taxpayers Nominating Convention in
san Francisco. before going into nom
luations, passed a resolution that no
empIove or near relative of any mem
Der of the Convention should be
nominated. If near relatives of
those who hold the creating or
appointing power, are to be 1S-
nored in future inside the political or
g~anizations of the Radical party, it
will have to look elsewhere for a can
didate than to Grant, as he would
never consent to take the office if he
WAS debarred. the privilege Of pen
sioning ALL his poor relations on the
