The end to the career of the noto-
rious Nine. Restell, says the New
York Herald, was as fitting as it was
tragic. The lifeless body with the
Rashed throat lying in the %gorgeously
frescoed bathroom conveys its own
terrible lesson. Thirty years ago she
passed twelve months in nominal i'm
prisonment on Blackwell's Island, and
from that time until a few weeks since
enjoyed immunity from the law. 1t
was natural that this long reversal of
justice should have made her think
she stood charmed amid judicial
terrors, and that the shock of a vigor-
Gus prosecution should have over
whelmed all her mental
The money she had amassed seemed
the last to have lost its en-
fFanchising power. and she died by her
own hand in despair, amid the mock
ing splendors of the mansion she had
built on the proceeds of her crimes.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10.
Patrick Farelly, aged 63, a native of
Ireland, committed suicide yesterday
afternoon, at his residence on Silver
street. He went into the backyard,
seated himself upon a small key, barred
his arm, opened an artery with "A razor,
and taking such position that the blood
would run into an empty key by his
side, slowly bled to death. He had
been greatly troubled with rheumatism
and had threatened t. kill himself
several times.
The stockholders of the Open Letter
held an excited meeting last night at
Charter Oak Hall. The meeting was
called to take some action in regard to
banding over the future control OF the
paper to the executive committee OF the
WorkiDgmen's party. DIR. Ferdenan
derZ produced a statement, showing
that from the LIST to the 10th of January
the receipts were 81. 407 05, and the ex-
penses S964.4l, which should have left
81 ,442.64 cash on hand, but that there
was actually only SOL. go in the treas
ury. This statement was found to be
in Stout's hand writing, and that indi-
vidual was ignominiously expelled
from his position as secretary. Fer
denanderz requested IN ex% planation of
this state of affairs, but Kearney ig-
nored the request entirely. After a
protracted debate the meeting al
journed, without having accomplished
anything in hat respect.
The first duties paid in new silver
dollars, at the San Francisco Custom
house, were received yesterday.
About 3 o'clock this morning a fire
broke out in building No. 14l4 Stock
ton street, between Vallejo and Green
streets. The building was occupied on
the first floor by a fruit dealer, and the
second floor by Mrs. Jane Stewart, as a
residence and lodging house. The fire
was discovered in a room in the rear of
the fruit stand, used by the proprietor
as a bed room. and is supposed to have
originated from the bursting of a coal
oil lamp. The dodgers on the upper
floor were at once alarmed, and they in
turn aroused Mrs. Stewart, who. with
her two children, Charles and Henry,
aged five and three years respectively,
slept in a room directly over that in
which the fire was discovered. Mrs.
Stewart replied to the cries of the
dodgers, and 1t was supposed had
effected her escape in safety, but when
the firemen had obtained sufficient
control of the flames to enable them to
explore the building, the body of Mrs.
Stewart was found on the floor near the
door of the room. One of the children
was also on the floor, and the other on
the bed. All had died from suffoca.
ton. The fire not having reached that
apartment, it is supposed that Mrs.
Stewart became bewildered by fright,
and was unable to open the door in her
excitement. She was a native of En-
gland, aged SO years. The promises
were owned by Nicholas Luning, and
were damaged to the amount of $500.

An exchange suggests that the

suggestion. and hope Her Britannia
Majesty will avail herself of 1t. There

used them for all that. The Sioux
warriors shoot and scalp their victims
just as the Indian allies of the British

the Americans. The sentiment which
then sustained the use of the red saw
age has not quite died out. The bashi-
bazouks, who did such thorough work
upon the wounded Russians and
Bulgarian villagers, we're petted by
quite . large section of the Brit

AN EN- ENDORSEMENT OF GENERAL
(ONNOR.

Mr.. T. s. Harris. editor Of the Coso
Mining Mems. and a Lieutenant in
General Connor's command during
the civil a has the following in re-
gard to the fitness of his old command
err for the position of Governor of
Utah:
The press of California and Nevada,
without regard TO political predilec-
tons, have recommended, as if by
common consent, General p. e. Con-
nor for appointment to the Governor
ship of the Territory of Utah. 1t was
our privilege and honor to march with
the California Volunteers to Salt Lake
City, and to occupy a position upon
the staff of General Common, after the
arrival there of his command, i'll Octo-
Der, 1862. 1t was our pleasure to be
associated with him in the establish.
ment of the first Gentle newspaper in
that Territory the Union Vedette,
which, though but a sheet much small
or than the Coso Mining News, had the
power of a first class Calling gun in
bringing Brigham Young and his in
famous cohorts to q realizing sense OF
their duty to the Government. Our
business and social relations with the
General were of such u nature as to
give us a better opportunity than that
afforded, perhaps, TO anybody else OF
studying and learning his disposition
and principles, and We can truly say
that if President Hayes Is DESTROYS of
appointing a man of stability. integ.
rity and sound, practical knowledge,
one who cannot be cajoled or swerved
from his path of duty, one who under
stands the Mormon problem and how
best to solve it, without bringing into
the Territory internecine war, he can
not do better, were he to search the
Union ove than t. select General
Common for that responsible position.
In fact he is the only man ever sent to
Utah, .clothed with authority, who ever
made anything like a success, and had
he been appointed Governor of that
Territory upon the close of the late
war, it is our firm belief that the Nor
mon prostitution problem would long
since have been solved, for he enjoys
the esteem of a large class of influential
Californians and Nevadans, and all
would have come to his assistance in
compelling the passage of such Con
gressional laws as would have met the
emergency. But how has it been with
the Federal appointments sent there
since General Connor's time? They
have been but puppets in the hands of
Brigham Young and the priesthood,
and have disgraced themselves and the
people of the United States by their
hob nobbing with the Mormons, ac-
cepting brides, and even adopting
their adulterous polygamic practices.
We can assure President Hayes that
there will I've nothing OF that kind by
Federal officers if General Common is
made Governor of Utah. The position
of Governor of Utah is a very peculiar
one, and the wiles and intricacies of
the Mormons require the cumen and
ex perience of just such a man as Cen
eral P. e. Connor 10 overcome them 4,
and with him as Governor the Nor,
mons will be-
"Freed from intricacies, taught to live
The easiest way"

HABITS,

A correspondent writing to the Bos-
ton Journal, gives the following as his
opinion of Californians in general:
C%alifornians are proverbially extrava
CANT, whether male or female. They
seem to care little or nothing for
money other than supplying their i'm
mediate needs. This extravaganza is
of the evils Of the early flush times.
A man Of bibulent propensities, who
has only four bits in his pocket and
does not know, and, parenthetically 1
might say, does not care where the
next half-dcllar is coming from, will
invite a party up to a bar and spend it
all for one round of drinks. Women
never think of asking the tradesmen
70 take off anything in the price of the
article they are purchasing, but pay
just what he asks for the article.
Thousands and thousands of dollars
are squandered by the extravagant
habits of the people here. They pay
whatever Is asked and spend as they
go, without regard for the morrow.
Whatever they want they buy, regard
less of cost. not stopping to ask whether
they can afford 1t or not. In living
and 10 dressing these extra VACANT hab-
It's are manifest. If the fashionables of
Mob Hill, in this city, wear five hun
dred-dollar dresses on the streets, the
women In the humber walks OF social
life feels herself as amply able to put
the months earnings of her husband
IN her back, and she does not begrudge
it either. And so with the men. The
best of everything they wantthey must
have and they will have it if it takes
the last piece of coin. There are thou
sands of dollars which Californiaus are
swindled out of in the making of
change. The difficulty here In making
exact change, owing to the kind OF
currency in use, produces one of the
grossest impositions 1 aver saw prac-
ticed. You cannot buy an article but
what you are bound to be swindled.
C~alifornians, however, eve complain
or think anything about it. and the
rich and the poor are alike in this re-
epect.
