The crime for which Mortimer was
hanged at Sacramento on Thursday is
thus stated in the Records long account
of the execution:
The crime for which the condemned
man suffered death was committed on
the night OF the 18th of September,
1872. On the morning of the 20th the
whole city was Mortified ny the an
nonncement that Mary Gibson. alias
Niry Shaw. had heen murdered in her
own house. on Jihboom street, about
100 wards north of the city prison.
The scene Of the murder was. as we
have said. Mrs Gibson's own house. 1t
WIS Il one-s.ory frame building. aud
stood on the east side o. JihhOom street.
Going in M the front door person
would find himself in grocery store
and Il bar-room. from which q door
opened into long hall which ran the
whole length of the building. The first
room on the right was that usually oc-
cupiei by NJ. Gihso2 as a sieerins
apartment. II the room WIS II ward
robe and bnrean, and everything therein
on th, morning of the 20:h Was fo;ind
turned upside down. The room oppo-
site contained two closets and \ table.
;,Don which there were the remains of q
lunch. with one teacup which had con-
tanned tea. The second room on the
right hand side was that in which the
dead body OF Ms. Gibson was found.
She had lain IN the middle of the room,
between the two beds and her limbs
both cramped under her. and b, = head
near trunk which had been broken
open and ransaclsed. The next room on
the right was a spare bedroom. and the
large room opposite these two was used
~ kitchen and woodhOuse. None OF
the rooms appeared to have been ran
sacked except the first two on the right
hand side of the hall All of the rooms
we're crowded full Of old clothes. chests,
boxes and miscellaneous rubbish. The
one in which the body was found il a
small room. there being only about six
feet of space between the two beds or
cots. The trunk stood near the head
of the bed by the window and the lid
was raised. On the bed at the east side
Of the room were several sticks Of cheap

In the annals of knaveyy it would be
hard to find mention of = scamp upon
whom the simulated sympathies of a
sensation press were more utterly and
lavishly n,isapplied and wasted than upon
Bosart by the San Francisco Chronicle.
A month ago. By the terms of the
Chronicles statements, martyr had
suffered kidnapping at the hands Of a
merciless tyrant. Now, according to
Bosart's own confession published in
that paper. he is the most unblnsking
of all possible swindiecs: and while he
evinces the impotence of a professional
rogue he has the contemplate unman-
illness to beg for mercy. With the
Chronicles columns at his disposal and a
carte blanche to backyard the Secretary
Of the Treasury through the New York
Sra, he wasas brave as possible; but with
the no nonsense" of trial where bluster
and pettifogsery don't count and where
false sympathy was valueless, being
brought face to face with the proofs OF
his own rascali;y and the probability OF
a conviction. he bellows like calf AID
attempts to plead the baby act. In Fri
days Chroaici. is report of Bosars's
statements and beggings Tor mercy. His
brassadocia and swagger have ali oozed
ont: and his cries tor quarter reminds
one OF the boy who had been convicted
of tbs r.r.r,i-i ~ MS father and mother
and who when he came up for sentence,
pleaded in mitigation of his offense that
he was an orphan! Now that his naked
knavery is so giarinsly apparent it Is
more than probable that even the Chron-
icle will turn cold shoulder upon him.

Rufus King, the man Of many aliases.
who has of late furnished SO many news
paper items, came to the relief Of the
reporters again yesterday. The case
came before Judge Emerson on motion
by the counsel for the Government to
remand the prisoner back to Idaho Terri
tory for trial. Judges Mcbride and
Bates appeared for King, and Judge
Cary for the United States. The pris-
ouer's counsel wanted him discharged
on the grounds that no legal proof had
been produced against him; no legal ev-
idence had appeared that any crime had
been committed. Mr.. Bates held that.
before either . civil or criminal suit
could BE- brought, the accounts Of the
accused With the q. s. had to be bad
aneed in the "a Auditors ofnce. and that
certified copies Of the accounts and
other papers should b furnished and
forth-coming. He knew multitudinous
instances where men had been accused
of embezzlement and narrowly escaped
having their regulations ruined. but
when their accounts came to be balanced
large amounts were found to stand to
their credit, and who could tell but when
Kings affairs came to b slaughtered
no. the Government would be found to
owe him vast sums. In regard to the
prisoners fitting from place to place
bearing various and sundry names: why,
that Was only fashionable and was prac-
ticed BY able and distinguished financiers
all over the country; furthermore. suit
could only be brought under the common
law. Judge Cary, who WAS the caam-
pion Of the Government, took di&tsr-
snt view of the case altogether; b.
thought that there was something IN the
case that didn't look altogether honest ;
the Postofice Department at Washing
ton had received reports from Silver
City that nearly $2,UUO had been paid at
SAN Francisco ON money orders from the
irst named place. but no report had
Deen received from San Francisco t.
that effect; Kings book at Silver City
was short about 5000. The Court Oh
dered that King be remanded to Idaho
,ur trial According to the report Vt the
agent sent by Col. Wicklzer to Silver
CITY, the total deficit is %, lOO, but the
money orders taken from KING would
reduce it to about Sl,OOU.-AsU EndosO-
ment, Nay Is.

itself And as all the italic gentlemen
belong To- . party which claims for the
Senate of the United Sta.es the right to
refuse admission to properly elected

There can be but one connection be-
tween the question of seating Senator
Pinchback and that of seating the italic
gentlemen who are placed upon the roll of
elected members to our Legislature by
the Picayone. There may be some pro-
priety in letting the latter event wait upon
the other. Indeed, if the Odd Fellows
Hall members elect to abandon ''their
legal Legislature" and knock at the doors
of the so-called for admission before the
Louisiana case is settled, they will vir-
tually cease to occupy that stolid attitude
of protest which has fed so many hopes
with air. We are not sure that the admis-
sion of Senator Pinchback would necessa-
rily be the prelude to an invitation for the
wandering Fusionists to return to their
duty; but we believe it would be wise in
the Republicans to await that event be-
fore a final decision.

commercial districts, yet to demand re-
turn 70 specie payment viii be to restrict
these pcpulous districts still more. A
currency which the eovernment is not
compelled to redeem may be allowed to
circulate among these city operatives
until it shall be worn, out. It
may be insufficient but it will
at least be regular and reliable.
The same currency subjected to the
brokers may be panic-stricken and COM
PEELED to fly home at any moment, and
then where will the operatives be? Some
theorist will tell us they will have gold
and silver in place Of the currency. We
have shown that there is not specie enough
to substitute for the currency. The ope-
ratives will have less currency than before.
The resumption can not take place until
the currency shall have attained the value
of specie, and then people will use the
one or other, or both, according to con-
venience. But pass law making it COM
pulsory upon the government to pay gold
in redemption of currency and an an
tagonism between these two mediums is
established which can not possibly make
the circulation better, but may make it
less useful by reducing its volume. That
our currency is not too great is shown by
its appreciation. We can not believe it
too small for the reason that the agricul-
tural sections of the country do not need
IS much as those pursuing other indus
tries. The exchanges and clearing houses
economize currency greatly. Merchants
conduct immense transactions with very
small exhibition of currency. A credit of
tens of thosands of dollars may be checked
for without the use of currency, while re-
mittance is effected on produce bills with
out any bank notes at all From this it
will be seen that we should prefer the cur
rency to improve gradually to the par of
specie and remain at or near par by its
own vigor and value. We choose to make
our dogma on this subject as the late Mr..
Greeley made his. He said: ''The way to
resumption is to resume" Wesay: "The
way to resumption is to let it resume
itself"
1t will not be necessary to materially en-
large the basis Of currency, Still, what
money there is will tend to where it is
most needed. The treasury, unless in
case of war, may tide over its deficiency
by economy and little borrowing; but
more debt, more taxes or more currency
would have an unfavorable effect on ma
tional economy, and especially would
large issue of currency tend to postpone
the equalization of greenbacks and specie.
IT, however, it be deemed expedient to
enlarge the currency by the issue of more
greenbacks, it will be a step toward post
poning the equalization of paper and
gold. The only sort of resumption that
we wish to see will consist in the volun-
tary choice of the people, whether they
will take gold or notes. and not in a COM
pulsory obligation on the parbof the gov
eminent to buy up gold with which to re-
deem and retire currency that stands on
as good basis as gold-the faith of law
and the confidence of the peopIe.
