been a great sufferer for many months,
and his demise was almost hourly eX-
pected for some time. He was q native
OF Norwich, Conn.,, but came to New

He was one of the most remarkable

ments. He was a great organizer of
industrial enterprises, a pioneer IN the
Iron manufacturing interests, a builder
Of railroads, a great merchant, a prom

trolling Interest In several other lines.

terprises, which have so largely con-
tributed to the wealth Of the nation.
He served two terms In the lower
House of Congress, where he exercised
a quiet but commanding Influence as
an authority OH commercial and tlnall-
cial questions. He was a strong DEM
ocrat. but during the rebellion gave to
tho Government a Jealous support,
while sharply criticising its policy Oh
the slavery and other questions. lie
was liberal toward all charitable and
public objects; was in his last years a
devout Christian ; aud while he was a
man of intense preiudlces, exemplitled
In his life some Of the most shining
nriYuta virtues.

MaMAN,s JOURNAL At SALT LAKE.

From the Salt Lake Herald OF April lOth,]
The women of Utah are to-day un-
a%uestionably more the subject of CON-
ment than those of any other portion
Of the country, or indeed Of the world.
As they have long exercised the right
to think and act for themselves, so they
now claim the right to speak for them
selves through the potent medium of
the types, and we yesterday morning
published the advertisement Oft Utah
ladies' journal, to be issued semi
monthly, eight pages Quarto, COM
mencing with the first OF May. Tho
now journal will be under tho editorial
control of Miss Louisa l.. Greene, a
lady known to readers Of the Herald
by poetic contributions over the sigma
turs of Lula :" and it will be owned
and controlled by Utah ladies. Dis
cussing, as it proposes to do, every
subject of interest to women, there Is
fine field before 1t, In which it has no
existing rival. Suffrage being enjoyed
by the women OF this Territory. there
will be little need for 1t making a
speciality of that pet subject with most
women's papers, but there ara ample
subjects, Of interest to tho sex, which
II can treat of to advantage, and which
are outside the ordinary scope of q
regular newspaper. The price is low,
two dollars per year, and the new ven
ture has our best wishes tor its success.

paorrcr1on OF MINERS.

A law for the protection of miners
was passed at the last session Of the
California Legislature, which could be
adopted with excellent advantage In
this State. The facilities for escape are
certainly better in the principal mines
of the Comstock than in most Of the
California mines, yet this is not uni
versally the case, and such a law would
do no harm. Our miners run risks
enough of losing their lives every day,
and accidents by caving, fire or other
causes, cannot be too we'll guarded
against or too good facilities for escape
provided. The new law In question
provides as follows:
A law passed ut the last session Of
tho Legislature for the protection OF
miners, provides: That 1t shall net be
lawful for any corporation, associa-
ton, owners or owners Of any quartz
mining clsims within the State at
which twelve mon are employed daily.
to sink any shaft beyond depth of20O
feet from the surface without providing
n second mode of egress from the mine,
by shaft or tunnel, to connect with the
main shaft at q depth Of not less than
100 feet from the surface. The owncrs
of mines which have not already such
mode of egress shall proceed to comply
with the provisions Of this law. When
ever any employee ishurt or injured
in a mine on account of the absence
of such mode Of egress the mine owners
shall be liable for damages sustained
and action for the same may be main:
tanned against the owners Jointly and
severally. When death shall ensue,
the heirs or relatives surviving may
maintain action for such damages un-
der the provisions of ian Act requir'
ing compensation tor causing death BY
a wrongful act, neglect or default
approved April %, 1862.

SALT LAKE ITEMS.

From the Tribune, April ioth.l
william Van, who was under bail Of
81, 600 to answer for an assault with
intent to kill Thomas Cunnington, died
Yesterday afternoon at his residence,
under circumstances that call for an in
vestigation by the Coroner. since. as
nearly as we can learn, his death re-
suited from an overdose Of some form
OF opiate, carelessly or ignorantly ad-
mlnistered.
A report was circulated yesterday
that Miss Couldock had died the night
previous, and we r informed that 1t
was telegraphed East. We are pleased
to say that 1t Is incorrect. The lady ID
sick at the residence Of Mr.. Henry Nc
Evan. but last night she was able to
sit up In bed.
A telegram by the Western Union
line last night, stated that the nigh,
previous a woman named Laura Clark
had committed suicide by taking NOR

In Massachusetts, they propose to
amend the criminal laws, by providing
that whenever the court or magistrate
before whom any person has been tried
for and acquitted Of any offense, crime
or misdemeanor shall be satisfied that
such person 20 acquitted Is innocent Of
the offence, crime or misdemeanor
charged, such court or magistrate shall
cause to Be taxed and paid to said per-
son so acquitted for every day or part
Of 4 day during which such person
has been In actual custody during
the interval between arrest and &C
quittal, the same fee which Is by law
allowed 4 witness for attendance upon
the same court" There Is manifest
Justice in a proposition like this, we'll
guarded to prevent imposition. The
distinction between absolute innocence
and the technical "not guilty" must
b borne In mind. A jury frequently
acquits a man, although Its members
are conscious that he has committed
the crime with which he Is charged.
But where it 10 evident that the prose-
cution has been causeless, and that the
accusation was entirely unjusti6ed BY
the facts produced, the prisoner ought
to BE- awarded on his acquittal an
amount Of compensation equal to what
he would have earned during his de-
at his regular trade or occupa-
ton.
