DEATH OF BRIGHAM YoUNa.-Salt
Lake, August 29.-Brigham Young died
this afternoon.
A long checkered and remarkable career
has closed in the death of Brigham Young,
the recognized head of the Mormon Church
and the leader of that remarkable Sect
Whether laboring under the inspiration of
fanaticicism, or whether coolly and persis-
tently maintaining what he knew to be a
gigantic fraud, he has succeeded in accom-
pljshing wonderful feats He was born in.
Nottingham, Vermont June LIST, 18Gf, and
was, in his early life, jealous Baptist, be-
ing something of preacher. He Joined
the Mofmons in 1882, and soon rose to be
one of the twelve apostles, having been
sent in 1885 to spread the doctrine,
then taught by Joseph Smith, among the
Eastern States. So successful was he in
this, and so popular did he become, that
after the tragic death of Smith, in 1874,
he became president. 1t was under his
leadership that in 1916 the Mormons made
their almost unprecedented pilgrimage to
Salt Lake. Here Young has so managed
the temporal affairs Of both the government
and himself as to render both prosperous
and fourishing. He was probably immense
ly wealthy, and by sheer force of will and
influence introduced the feature of polyg-
amy into the Mormon Church in 1852. BY
the same iron will, tircless vigilance and
never failing astuteness, he has successfully
conducted the affairs of his unusally con-
structed community, made converts, kept
his people coptented, and successfully resis-
ted collisions, with no interference from the
United States. In many respects he was a
wonderful man, but Heaven only knows
what dark and cankcring secrets will be
buried iu the pulselcss heart of the might
lest of the Latter. Day Saints"

"A CHANCE FOR IMMIGRANTs.--Col. ID.
Wyatt Aiken writes to the Charleston Zci-

Vile and Columbia Railroad, and contains
high and low lands, wood land, water, $50
acres under cutivation several houses, barns

in the neighborhood, and he proposes to di
vide this land into small farms. He will
also SOW twelve acres with wheat, so the i'm

standing the brilliant achievements of Ewell
and Hill on the first day, and the decided
advantage gained by Longstreet on the Sec
ond, the failure of the operations of the third
day, involving, as they did, but two divi-

shadow Of right to our adversary's claim of
having gained victory. Their exultation,
however, should be tempered with modera-

of absolute quiet, the Confederates withdrew
from their front without serious molestation,
and with bridges swept away, and an impas-

rendered practicable, after which they safe

TuE NEXT UNITED STATES SENATE
Republicans, 80; Democrats 80, and nde,
pendent Republicans l.. On the meeting of
the Senate in October there will be three
vacancics-onc from South Carolina, caused
by the retirement of Senator Robertson, and
two from Louisiana, one being the vacancy
caused by the retirement of Senator West
and the other being known as the Pinch
back vacancy, which has existed for four
or five years past The applicants for the
South Carolina vacancyarc David L. Corbln,
Republican, and NJ. G. Butler, Democrat.
The applicants for the two Louisiana vacan-
cics arc William Pitt Kellogg, Republican,
and j. b. Eusts and James Lewis, Demo-
Gratis. In view Of the overthrow of the
Republican government, in party sense, III
those States, it is safe to predict that all
these vacancies will be filled by Democrats.
This would give the Democrats thlrty-six
members in the Senate. Should the scat
of the Republican Senator from Indiana be-
come vacant, his place would be filled by i
Democrat, probably by Voorhees, or Hen
dricks, when the Senate would stand, count
ing David Davis with the Republicans-Re-
publicans, SO; Democrats, 81. A few cas-.
ualtics occurring among the Republican
Senators from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Mississippi, South Carolina and several
other States, would result in giving the Sen
ate to the Democrats by fair majority
That they will have such a majority in the
Senate after March 3, 1879, is almost GER
tain. There is at least one advantage in
pretty even division of either House of Con-
gress, and that is in the more punctual At
tendance of members and their closer atten-
ton to public business Wash. Star.

change, Mr.. Booth, the proprietor,
gives the following reasons,the cogency
of which will be apparent to every

newspaper business. "We have de.
cided to change the Receiue from an

ing on Tuesday, January 2. In doing
so, we believe it will DO found advan-
tageous to us and our patrons. not
only in Austin but those of our read
ers in Nye county. There are many
reaeons that might be advanced. prin-
cipal of which is that t~elegraphic dis
patches received during the day and
evening from all parts of the world, will
appear fresh in the morning, while as
now a good portion have to lie over
twenty-four hours, coming as they do
late in the afternoon, aud with a
small force Of compositors it is utterly
impossible to get them in on the day
they are received. Another reason is,
though unknown to those not familiar
with tbs workings Of a printing office,
a limited time only is afforded to col
late news, set the type, and arrange for
the issuing of an evening paper, for
cling all persons connected Herewith to
be on q constant rush. And believing
as we do that the change will prove
beneficial to all parties concerned we
deem the present an opportune time,
inasmuch as Tuesday morning next
will be the commencement of a new
year, the beginning of q new volume,
and . new management.
The change is not for pecuniary pur-
poses; on the contrary the cost to us
will be increased, in various ways,
nevertheless We are willing to incur
the additional expense, IN order that
tho paper may be improved and made
more acceptable to our readers.

Albany. Jan. l

ALBANY, Jan. l.
Governor Robinson was inaugurated
to-day. Governor Tilden, in a con-
gratulatory speech, declared it had been
his aim to recall to the Slate the pure
administration of a generation ago; to
tighten the Intolerable burdens of the
people; to improve public institutions
aud laws; and to call into the civil SER
vice men of higher ideas of official
life. of higher training and OF more
general culture. These objects he had
pursued through numerous difficult
ties, believing fully that if the people
saw a prospect of real reform nothing
worth saving could be lost. He cbal-
lenged a candid scrutiny OF the results
Of his administration. Wasteful and
corrupt systems had been destroyed;
taxation reduced n half; new REIN
edies for official malversation enacted;
the management OF public works and
prisons r~earranged; and commissions
preliminary to other reforms institu-
ted. These are valuable results, but
there are others ven more important.
The standard of official conduct has
been elevated, and with 1t the idea,
motives and influences which mr.
rounded official life. The public sus.
picion of legislative venality is disap-
pearing and the Hobbies are disbanded.
The chief executive and admins
trativs trusts of the State have been
committed to gentlemen eminent not
only for personal probity but for ca
pacity and high ideas of official duty.
Genuine reform in the civil service has
thus been realized, which could not be
the product of any mere system or any
mere legislation without the effective
cooperation OF the men conducting
the actual administration.
Governor Robinson replied, thank
ing MIR. Tilden for his encouraging
words, and returning the compliment
by saying that Mr.. Tilden retired from
his position with the approval of the
whole country which had called by
an emphatic popular majority to the
highest place in the nation (Continu-
Gus applaaee). He affirmed that the
improvements which Tilden men

toned as his ideal had been accom-
plished by him, and expressed the
hope that he would continue these re-
forms. He recalled the principles
laid down by Jefferson in bis first in
augnral, and called on the citizens to
renew their vows of loyalty to them.
The oath was then administered to the
Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
