A BETTER DAY DAWNING.

The Phoebe RECORD rejoices over the
ending of the trial in that city of How
ard, for the murder of Sheldon ID. Pot
ter, which terminated few days since in
verdict of manslaughter. In view of
the results of murder trials in general,
our contemporary expresses contentment
that the culprit was not again turned
loose upon the community by verdict
of acquittal. 1t is matter for congratu-
lation that acquittals and pardons are
becoming less frequent than they have
been of late, but with the present reform
in the administration of justice, there
seems to be after all but little diminu-
ton of crime. Late exchanges from
New York state that during the first two
days of last week there were two TRACE
dies in that city horrible enough to shock
even community in which murder has
become of frequent occurrence. The
record of murder, the country over, du-
ring the present year thus far, is indeed
sad commentary on our civilization.
There is a great necessity for the inter-
vention of some instrumentality that will
ascertain the causes of crime and apply
suitable remedies. There is but one way
in which murder can be attacked and
prevented, and that is by the strictest
and most unhinching imposition of the
penalty. In this connection it may be
remarked that there is wide field for
missionary work everywhere for the pre-
vention of crime, and the prevalence of
outrages is subject that commands the
attention of those who assume the duty
of the formation of correct popular
sentiment. In all circles of society there
is wide field for work in this regard,
and eff our ministers would devote their
energies to the practical consideration Of
crime, instead of abstruse theological
theories, they might do much good
The prevalence of crime and the means
for its remedy is a subject of more i'm
mediate interest than the discussion OF
dogmas and UNCONVENTIONAL differences. .
The Church can do good work in this
regard, but the gallows can render valu
able cooperation. The one can elevate
the tone of moral sentiment, and the
other teach in an emphatic manner thai
the wages of sin is death. Every convic
ton in cases of positive crime nowadays
is positive blessing to society. We
unite with our contemporary in the be
lief that better day is dawning in oul
Judicial experiences. The murder re
ferred to in Phoebe was cold-blooded, ant
although the gallows has been cheated o
its victim, justice has been in a measure
subserved. 1t is to be hoped that this j
beginning of thorough work in tn
punishment of iniquity in our State
/ Virginia Enterprise.

GLEANINGS FROM EXCHANGES.

SHAM DETECTIvE.-TheO Omaha Herald
cautions the public against an interesting
young man, about five feet five inches
high, with black hair and mustache, and
prominent Roman nose, who tried,
few days ago, to swindle the Union Pa
cific Railroad out of q pass, but failed in
the attempt. Showing a small shield
under the lapel of his vest with the
word detective in relief, and pair
of handouts, he informed the ticket seller
at Omaha that he was after " shower of
the queer" who had gone on the road,
and he had lost his wallet, with all his
money. A pass was furnished him, and
he signed an order on the Secret Service
Department for the amount. As soon as
he had started, the telegraph was set to
work and information obtained that he
was fraud. The telegraph was again
resorted to, the pass was taken up at the
next station, and the bogus detective had
to pay his fare "as far as he'd went"
As be has plenty of cheek and letters of
credit on Salt Lake bankers, an eye or
two should be kept open for his special
benefit.
WEDNESDAY morning, at seven O'Clock,
little boy, fourteen months old, son Of
Mr.. Robert Wilson, was running away
from an older brother in play, when he
fell into the well. Little Robert, who is
cripple and only nine years old, climbed
down the we'll and kept his brother
head out of the water, calling for another
child to fetch his mother. The frightened
woman ran out, jumped down the well
and knocked them both in the water again.
Mr. Wilson was fortunately at home, and
went to the rescue, getting them all safely
to terra firma. The youngest child had
swallowed considerable water, but aftel
about an hours manipulation was all
right again.-1[Ogden junction.
Archibald Baxter, the young man who
was injured in the spine by an accident {
few days ago, is still lying in precari
GUS condition. From his chest down
ward, he is completely paralyzed an(
has no sense of feeling. His arms are il
similar condition. DR.. p. L. Anderson
has used all his skill on the patient with
out success, and has at length concluded
to try the force of galvanic battery as
last resort. The paralysis is slowly ex
tending upward rather than diminishing
and the young mans recovery is almos
hopeless.-[ Ogden Junction.

The INDIAN AGENT. Salt Lake
Herald, of Friday last, publishes the
item from the RECORD, of the 18th, in re-
gard to starving Indian, and in answer
to the question, Where is the Indian
Agent?" says; The gentleman, we be-
lieve, is at the Walker House, in this
city" The Herald publishes in this
connection a dispatch from st. George,
dated the Dist, which is as follows:
About two hundred Indians have
gathered here from the surrounding
country, waiting for the appearance OF
agent Ingalls,. Numbers OF them seem
very much opposed to going to the reser-
Walton. The Muddy Indians, who re-
ceivrd few presents from the agent last
winter, claim that the goods were of no
account; that the blankets were made of
the poorest shoddy, and that they could
almost shake them to pieces. For food
he gave them mouldy bacon, which al
most poisoned them.

The MoDocs. The Modoc Indians
who murdered Gen. Candy, DR.. Thomas
and others, having been sentenced to
suffer death, the Quakers and peace pol
icy advocates are asking the President
for clemency in their behalf. 1t is
claimed that the trial of the offenders
was illegal, under decree of the Su-
preme Court in the Milligan case that
civil courts being near, the military
tribunal had no jurisdiction. Another
question raised is, that General Candy
was killed while acting as Peace Com
missioner, and not as an officer of the
army, in war. These questions viii
come directly before the President for his
action. The court for the trial of the
Modocs was organized in pursuance of
the opinion of the Attorney General, that
military court had jurisdiction in the
premises, and the Judge Advocate-Gen-
eral of the army takes the same view as
the Acknowledgement, and will approve
the findings of the court, as well as the
Secretary Of War. The President, how
ever, must approve and order execution
of the sentence, and upon him will be
brought pressure to set aside the find

THE VERDICT IN THE HARRING-
TON MURDER CASE.

1t is source Of congratulation among |
good citizens that verdict Of murder In |
the second degree was obtained III the
case of James Harrington for the killing
John II. Lynch, on the morning OF the
9th of July. Just seven weeks from the
time the fatal wound was inflicted the
jury brought in verdict. The penalty
attached to the crime of which Harring-
ton stands convicted is imprisonment in
the State Prison for term of years not
less than ten; and ii is the earnest wish
of our best citizens that in the exercise
of his discretionin the matter, his Honor,
Judge Fuller, will not be swayed by
appeals to his sympathies, but that he
will infict penalty so severe in its ma
ture that it will strike terror into the
hearts of evil-doers. Even the convic-
ton of Harrington will prove healthy
warning to the lawless men who infest
our city, and who are ready upon the
slightest provocation to resort to the use
of deadly weapons. Let the verdict OF
the Jury lie followed up by the intliction
of such punishment as shall show to
the world that the law is not dead let
Ter in our midst. We have no reason to
believe that Judge Fuller will allow any
sickly sentimentality to govern him In
passing sentence upon either Howard fol
manslaughter or Harrington for murder
in the second degree. We are sure We
give Inference to the popular voice wher
we say that these two men deserve thu
seyerest penalties for the crimes of which
they have been found guilty, and we be
lieve that Judge Fuller's sense of justic
will direct him to heed the popular wisl
in this respect. But the verdict in tn
Harrington case has another good effect
and we hope our exchanges will take
note of it. This verdict shows that test
mony made to order is not all-powerful
The conviction of Harrington, in the fac
of the testimony given by o Neil and Sui
Ivan, is as damaging to their reputatio
as an indictment for perjury. 1t canno
be that the jury believed word said b
either of those witnesses, for if the
testimony had been credited, an acquit
must have followed; but that the
testimony was wholly discredited, is ey
dent from the verdict rendered.

The STuARTs.-Another of the family
which claims to be the representative OF
the Stuarts in this generation has Just
died in London. Count Ferdinand de
Lancashire ct d'Albanie, who succumbed
to an attack of congestion of the lungs,
was a nephew of the late Won Sobieski
Stuart, Count d'Albanie, and was
young man of high attachments and
much promise. Though only twenty
nine years ut the time Of his death, he
had seen large amount of military SER
vice. During the Italian campaign of
1859, he was engaged as a cavalry officer
in the Austrian service. He was also
one OF that band of personal friends of
the late Emperor Maximilian, who at
tempted to establish that unfortunate
sovereign on the throne of Mexico. He
sustained many pIiyations in that coun-
try; and Notwithstanding his health, he
volunteered into the service OF the Prus-
sian army during the recent Franco Ger
man war. He was engaged at the battle
of Gravelotte, where his horse was Shot
and himself severely wounded He was
a member of the London Carlist Com
mittee, and recently went to Spain with
his relative, Colonel Stuart of the Deer
hound, but returned to London shortly
before his death.
