Gov. Linsay, Of Alabama, gives his
reasons for saying that the revival of
the old wing party is neither possible
nor desirable. First, there is no body

party are now the leaders of the demo
cratic party, and would not relinquish
its honors and enoluments for new

Mr.. Neil Nc Milians ideas ofthese mines
as expressed in the STAR some time since

Although the Cormorants alias merchants
of this section would try and make peo.
pie at distance believe that Alaska was
virtually paved with gold. Parties are
now engaged experimentally at point
some SIXTY miles up the coast from
here called "the Shugh," but reports
from them, indicate but small amountof
gold in that section; the place is easily
reached and is in U. s. territory, and
should good pay be struck-which is
not probable-it would no doubt be
good thing for Alaska. A gold and

A salutary Lesson.

The intelligence from Utah is again fore
ing itself upon public attention. District
Attorney Howard opens his prosecutions
with vigor and seizes upon the right
man for commencement. Major Gen.
eral Burton is an important parsonage
in Utah, and as the crime with which
he is charged is so well known to the
people there his conviction and punish
ment will have salutary effect
upon both the leaders and the people
under their influence. When the crime
with which Burton is now charged was
committed Utah was an isolated Territory
of the United States, the Mormon priest
hood did what it pleased and dealt with
human lite with perfect recklessness.
The execution of Lee has already had its
effect upon even the most fanatical among
them, and when Burton gets the punishment
that Is in. store for him they will realize
still more that there is sleepless justice on
the track of the murderer. How near it
will come to Brigham himself is only a
matter of time; but as far as q knowledge
of the accommodating evidence against him
will enable any one to judge it would seem
that the Prophet must by this time begin to
feel that the day of judgment is not far
distant
