Hanged for Murder-Ihe Death Penalty
In MendocinO County.

Hanged for Murder-Ihe Death Penalty
In Mendoeino County.
UKIAH, October 14th.-Harvey Mortier
was hanged to-day in the Courthouse yard
in Ukiah for the murder of Richard Mac.
Pherson. Mortier was half-breed Indian,
aged Is years, and this was his first offense.
Macpherson was young man, and the two
had been intimate friends. Mortier's resent
ment was aroused by rumor traced to Mac.
Pherson that he (Mortier) had been stealing
On the 25th of March, 1880, they met, had
some words, and Mortier shot him with a
rifle. The wounded man lived but few
minutes. Counsel for the prisoner made
great efforts to save him, but the Supreme
Court refused new trial. The Governor
declined to commute the death penalty,
and Mortier expiated his crime to-day.
The condemned man made statement of the
facts on Wednesday. He confessed the JUS
tice of bis sentence, and deplored the evil as
sociations that brought him to the gallows.
No signs of fear have been apparent through
out the ordeal. He has slept well and had a
good appetite. Rev. Father Sheridan at
tended to his spiritual needs. Sheriff Dono-
hoe stood guard over the prisoner Thursday
night, and reports that Mortier slept from IL
to this morning and scarcely stirred. He
awoke in cheerful frame of mind. Father
Sheridan administered the rites of the Cath
olic Church to Mortier, who was in
hopeful mental state. He was recon
ciled to his fate as the penalty for his
grave offense. About o'clock he ate
hearty breakfast, consisting of steak and
onions, five hard-boiled eggs, boiled potatoes,
bread and coffee. He then Lit cigar, and
his spiritual adviser returned and remained
with him till life was over. At 1850 Sheriff
Donohoe, accompanied by Sheriff Burnett,
of Lake county, Sheriff Dinwiddie, of
Sonoma county, and Sheriff Mason, of
Marin county, went to Mortier's cell and
read the death warrant. This proceeding
occupied five minutes, and the prisoner en-
dured the ordeal without tremor. He was
then left with the priest. At 1:05 the Sheriff
summoned Mortier to the galloHs. The
prisoner walked calmly by the side of Father
Sheridan, who continued with him, directing
his thoughts to the future. As he passed the
Sheriffs office he addressed Under Sheriff
Sewell with IS A thousand thanks for kind
nesses," and walked on. He mounted the
steps to the scaffold and took his place on the
drop with steady step and unbleached face
After a short prayer, the Sheriff asked if he
had anything to say. Mortier said no. and
the straps were then adjusted, the cap fixed,
the rope placed. and at two minutes past l
the drop fell. The body remained suspended
twenty. three minutes, when it was taken
down. Drs Robinson and Dozier examined
the body, and found that the neck was dis
located. The pulse ceased in three minutes.
The prisoners bearing was manful through
out, and he carried out his promise to the
Sheriff that be should not hang coward.

The Question of Mileage opinion OF the
AttOrney.General.


STOCKTON, October 14th.-The opinion Of
Attorney General Hart in the mileage case of
DIR. Harvey, one of the Directors of the
State Insane Asylum, after quoting the law,
concludes as follows: Residence, as used
in Section 266 of the Political Code, is not
defined to mean the county seat. and if the
Legislature had intended that mileage should
be charged from the county seat it is to be
assumed that it would have so declared. In
other words, it is not to be assumed that
when the Legislature uses the term residence,
it means county seat, or vice versa. The
provision for certain rate of mileage for the
purpose of meeting the expenses of men,
bers of the Board must have been
the result of computation as to the
actual expense per mile for travelling,
and the clear object and intent of
tie lawmaker was to pay ten cents per
mile for each mile necessarily travelled. The
means adopted for the accomplishment of
mileage from the residence, was the one
which, in the legislative mind, was deemed
to approach most nearly to an accurate esti-
mate of the actual number of miles which
each member would necessarily have to
travel. 1t is my opinion, therefore, that
members of the Board should be allowed
mileage only from their respective residences.
As to the charges of corruption made against
DR.. Harvey, feel constrained to say that
after careful examination of the papers
submitted, as well as the charges find moth
ing to raise even the shadow of suspicion.
He has acted in accordance with a custom of
the Legislature of long standing, and in ac-
cordance with his construction of an awk.
wardly-worded and ambiguous law. as to the
meaning of which different minds may come
to different conclusion, and in so doing has
committed, if anything, only an error. 1 ad-
wise that all money drawn for mileage in ex-
cess of ten cents per mile, computed from the
residence of the Directors, be returned to the
Treasuryn

Parnelfs Arrest-Excitement Over the
Affair.

DUBLIN, October 14th.-It is reported that
the arrest of Parnell is only preliminary to
still more vigorous action against the Land
League. The arrest was effected very quietly
at S:35 A. NJ. The police appealed to Parnell
to avoid all delays, so as not to permit the
fact to become public. The Moderate Lib
erals and Conservatives approve the arrest.
1t is believed that Parnells speech at Wex-
ford on Sunday last furnished the British
cause for the arrest League No. is row
sitting, and it is expected that it will publish
a manifesto. 1t is said that John Dillon, M.
P, of Tipperary. will assume the Presidency
of the League. The military force in Dublin
is held in readiness for action in the event of
necessity.

DOINGS IN CONGRESS.

The Senate took up the Sundry Civil bill, or
Wednesday, March ., to which the Senate committee
had added $2,l19,O00. Most of the amendments
Bayard offered new amendment, authorizing the
Secretary to surplus money for the purchase or
redemption of bonds 1t adopted with
ont objection. An amendment offered to the
bill to enable the Secretary Of the Treasury to re-
imburse President Hayes for the amount he paid
out of his own private purse (S3,950) TO meet the
expenses of the Wayne MacVeagh Commission to
Louisiana in 1877 gave rise to lively discussion,
participated in by Beck Bailey Conkling, Jonas and
thurman. Beck and Bailey favored the amend
ment, and the latter took occasion TO say
of President Hayes administration that
there had been no better or puTe er
amendment the occasion to give the President hit,
sneered at the Commissioners tourists. and ridi-
iculed the iteIn Thurman humorously requested
that the amendment be allowed to go over till the
next Senate could act on it. and then John Sher-
man, who one of the promoters of the commits
sion, could defend it against the ridicu!e of
Conkiing, and Wayne MacVeagh, the pros
pectve Attorney General could give his opinion on
the gality of the item. After discussion
the amendment was tabled by unanimous vote. A
vote on the amendment appropriatng $4,000 for
the purchase of the papers of Confederate Gems.
Bragg and Polk resulted in its defeat The bill was
finally passed The Funding bill was received from
the House and signed by the Vice President An
attempt was made TO go into executive ses-
sion to act upon the contested cases, but the Re
pubEcans, in view of the fact that many OF their
number were absent opposed and finally defeated 1t
The House of Representatives met In conunuauon
of Tuesdays session. and the struggle over the
Funding bill was resumed. Mr.. Tucker demanded
the previous question on the Senate amendment au-
thorizing public subscriptions for the new bonds and
certificates, but there was quorum voting. Under
a suspension of the rules, the Deficiency OH
was taken up and passed. Mr.. Tuck
er then returned to the attack, and
after good deal of fbustering on the part Of the
Republicans, succeeded in obtaining concurrence in
the remaining Senate amendments. All other amend
ments proposed were rejected, and the bill passed.
Mr.. Carlisle then moved to suspend the rules and
pass bill amending the Funding act 80 as to con-
form with the amendments proposed by thesWays
and Means Committee. After some debate the mo-
ton prevailed and the bill passed. The Speaker
then signed the enrolled Funding bin, and the
House adjourned.
