in prices, but only one has been reported

RILY HANGEp--2W WARNING TO OTHER OFFEND
ERs---TSTESsE FxcTTEKEST AMONG -THE
MINERS.
LEADvrLLE, Coll, November T.--Lead
vile IS to-day the scene of great excitement,
the old mining, days Of California being
fofcibly recalled to mind by an occurrence
which took pIace ibis morning about /
o'clock. at that hour q mob numbering sew
eraI hundred attackeTihe Jail, and, In spite
OF all obstacles, fuscibly removed two Of the
prtsoDers-a iootrsd named Stewart and a
Jumper" Of claims named Frodscham.
These men were taken to an adjoining shed
and hanged till dead. Frotscham had an
evil name among Tic miners, with whom in
LeadvilIe, as in all other mining communi-
ties. the offence OF jumping" lots, or
claims, is one Of the most beiDous.
PREVIOUSLY WARNED.
FrodScbam had been recently concerned
in several mining affrars growing out Of
lot s.iumping," and had been notified to
leave town. He was arrested last night and
lodged in iail for. some petty offence, and
the LeadvilIe miners, finding their warn
ing to HIM disobeved, took the summary
action stated.
Stewart was one OF two footpads or high
way robbers who, few nights since, meet
ing German barber, stopped him on the
highway, and, in the, language OF the
!" road" ordered him to hold up his hands.
The barber did so, but, az it happened, he
had pistol in one hand, and he fired, in
stantly killing Stewards companion and
woundiDg Stewart in the neck. go that he
was unable to escape, and he was arrested
aud lodged in jail.
PUBLIC WARNING TO THIEVES.
An immense crowd has surrounded the shed
all day where the two men were banged. as
the bodies remained suspended till late in the
afternoon. The policemen who are on duty
permit each newcomer to take look at the
bodies, and then compel him to leave after
his curiosity has been satisfied. A picard
Of warning hangs around the neck OF
Frodscbsm, on which is inscribed Sc No.
tice to all lot-thieves, bunko-thieves, foot
pads, and chronic bondSmcn for the same
and sympathizers with the above classes Of
criminaIs-This is our commencement, and
this shall be your fate. We mean business,
and let this be your last Warning."
INTENSE EXCITEMENT.
The event has produced the most pro-
found excitement among all classes OF peo-
pie, some deprecating the action Of the mob
and being unwilling to sec punishment,
however well deserved, mcted out to evil
doors without due compliance With all iu-
dical forms; while others, mostly Of the
old school OF miners, believe in summary
retribution for offences like those Of Stew
art and Frodscham. The crimes OF each Of
these men are such rs appeal very strongly
to the feelings OF mining community, and
it seems by the placard affixed to Frod-
scham's neck that the miners intend that
the warning they gave to him to leave the
neigbborhood shall be made sufficiently
public to act as Il terror to men OF that class.
No action in the matter has yet been taken
by the legal authorities.

NOMINATION OF u. r. CoRBIN.
The President yesterday nominated D. T.
Corbin, of South Carolina, late contestant
for the seat of Senator Butler, TO be Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of the Terri
tory of Utah. Corbin was given $4,000 at

worth So 900 per annum.
THE SENATE OFFICES.
The Democratic Senators held caucus
yesterday TO hear the report of the commit
tee of nine concerning the further distrbu-
ton of the Senate offices under the new
regime. The committee recommended the
retention OF Mr.. Bassett, Assistant Door
keeper; Mr. Smith, Superintendent OF the
Document-roon; Mr.. Simpson, a Clerk, and
Messen myers johnson, Bunnel and Wilson.
1t was thought best to retain them either
because OF their longtime service in the
Senate, especial ability or the severity of
wounds received during the war. TO the
intense disgust of many OF the more con-
servative Senators, some OF the new MEM
bers of the body wished every one of the
old Republican officers removed, regard
less of merit or old associations, to
make places for Democrats. Half a
dozen Southern Senators in particular con-
dncted themselves with great vehcmence.
They said in effect that the reorganization
of the Senate was due to their votes and in
return they wanted offices for their friends.
Objection was made to a motion to permit
the Secretary and Sergeant-at Arms to ap-
portion among the Senators the number of
offices that each is entitled to fill. 1t was
noticeable that the warm support of Secre-
tary Burch and Sergeant-at-Arms Bright,
against whom charges have been made
were foremost in the unseemly grab for
patronage. There was some little discus
sion of these charges. 1t is probably that

hsA cached Stapas, the Bolivian capital,
anf produced general feeling of hostility
against Chill.
The attitude so lar assumed by the Pc
ruvian Government in this matter has been
u friendly one.
The question Of war now remains on the
mission OF the Peruvian Envoy to Chilli. 1t
is said that a special committee has been
sent to Buenos Ayres from Bolivia, with
the object OF inducing the Argentine Con-
federation TO improve the opportunity OF
Chill being occupied on the Pacific, and to
enforce lis claim OH the disputed Patagoni-
an Territory.
An excited mob attacked the Peruvian
Consulate at Valparaiso, and demolished
the national coat-of-arms suspended over
owing to rumor in Chill that Peru had
declared herself an ally to Bolivia.
Police promptly arrested the ring-lead-
ers, and the rioters dispersed. Ample apol-
Ogies were made next day by the Minister
OF Foreign Affairs to the Peruvian Diplo-
matte agents, and the matter ended.
