The arrival of each steamer brings intelligence of new complications in the Kansas imbroglio. At the election held in Kansas on the 4th of January, under the Lecompton Constitntion, the more conservative of the free State men yoted for State officers, and it seems their candidates were elected by majorities ranging from 300 to 700. The returns were sent to John Calhoun, and by his invitation, Gov. Denver and the two presiding officers of the Territorial Legislature were present when they were opened and counted, Calhoun, however, haa rejected the returns at first received and declared the pro-slavery ticket for State officers elected. The President, on the 3d of February, sent to Congress a certified copy of the Lecompton Constitution, which was accompanied by a special message recommending its adoption. He says a great delusion seems to pervade the public mind in relation to the eonditiou of affairs in Kansas, and argues at some jength to show that a large majority of the people of the Territory are opposed to the ‘Lecompton Constitution and in open rebellion against the authority of the general government. He places great stress upon the fact that a majority of the people have steadily refused to vote, which he attributes to factiousness. He does net even mention the fact that the whole power of the Territorial government wasin the hands of a parcel of unscrupulous partizans, who were ready to resort to the most villainous frauds in order to retain their supremacy. Thousands of conservative people in Kansas have refused heretofore to take part. in the elections, because they had no confidence in the men who had the counting of the votes. The fraudulent returns rejected by Gov. Walker at the October election, and the more recent outrage of Regent Calhoun in deelaring the pro-slavery candidates for State officers elected, when their opponents had received a majority of votes, proves conclusively that the fears of the conservative citizens were well founded. We do not include among the conservatives, the advoeates of the Topeka movement, headed by Jim Lane and “Governor” Robinson, This faction took no part in the recent election, and are entitled to no more consideration than the ultra pro-slavery faction. The remarks ef the President might apply with much propriety to the Topekaites, but recent events have shown that there is a large party in Kansas, who are disposed to right their wrongs through the medium of the ballot box, and whose motives are justly entitled to respect. The President still maintains his original opinion, that the immediate admission of Kangas will at oncé quiet all the difficulties in that Territory, and localize the issue, A “great delusion’’ seems to pervade the minds of the President and membersof the Cabinet in this respect. The admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Censtitution, so far from quieting, will still further complicate the difficulties io that distracted Territory. If brought into the Union, and the goverument troops withdrawn, as proposed by the President, the Constitution would not be suffered to go into operation, for itis admitted that three-fourths of the people are violently opposed to it. On the other hand, should the: troops be retained to compel the people to obey it, the general government would at once be reduced to a despotism. The reception of the message produced considerable of a flurry in both branches ef Congress, and resulted in a test vote being taken in the House, in which the Lecompton men were defeated by a majority of five, on a motion to adjourn, Twenty members were absent at the time. eleven of whom were understood to be in favor of the immediate admission of Kangas, and nine opposed to the measure. Mr. J. B. Olay, of Kentucky, and three Democratic members from New York, who voted to adjourn, are also understood to be opposed to forcing Kansas into the Union, with a Constitution which the people do not approve. We notice that Mr. MeKibben, of California, voted with the anti-Lecompton members, It is barely possible the measure will be carried in the House, though not probable, It is reported on pretty good authority, that if the Lecompton men are defeated again, they design bringing forward a compromise measure, which will receive the assent of Mr. Douglas and his friends. The Douglas Democrats have thus far kept aloof from the Republicans, and are determined not to coalesce with them on any consideration. County Frvancies.—We publish to-day the report of the County Treasurer, showing the receipts and disbursements of that office since Nov. 7th, the date of the last report. port of the Board of Supervisors, which should properly have been published with that of the Treasurer, was received at too latean hour yesterday for publication inthis paper, Itwill appear next week. The amount of outstanding warrants on all the funds, including interest to date, is $147,913 22, which, after deducting $1,235 24, the amount of cash on hand, will leave $146,677 98, as the total indebtedness of the county, The total debt oa the general fand, ineluding interest and deducting the oash on band belonging to that fund, is $119,473 73. A Secret Orcanization.—A paragraph was published a few days ago in the Sacramento Bee, credited to the Nevada Democrat, stating that.the Republicans were organizing a secret political party, similar to the late Kaow Nothing organization. The paragraph originated with the Sonoma Democrat, and must have been credited to us through mistake, as we never Made any statement of the kind. We have heard intimations to the effect that a secret po“litical party was being formed, but have no ovidence ef the fact. Exeourioy or Tuomas Kine ap Loctano Taria.—Two men were exe cuted at Los Angeles on Tuesday the 16th ult. Thomas King was convicted-of the murder of Lafayette Biogas Los Angeles on the 26th of September, and Tapia was convicted of the murder of Geo. Pfiugart at San Juan, Los Angeles co., in January of last year. The re-} " or Nevapa anp Srerna to Yo. a.—Mr, De Long, of Yabs egnaty, bas duced a bill into the Assembly to the erra to Yabs. At the time Nevads county was set off from Yuba, the latter was considerably in debt, The debt of Yuba, however, had been created principally in the purchase of lots for a court house and jail, and in the erection of publie buildings. As Yuba retained all the public buildings and property, she is justly chargeable with the debt centracted on that acceunt. The territory erected into Nevada county had never been any expense to Yuba. One criminal only had been sent from this section to be tried before the Yubs court, and he was out on bail, and paid his board in Marysville during his stay there. After the act organizing Nevada had been approved, and before it was officially known here, the officers of Yuba collected some ten or twelve thousand dollars in liceuses in this county, which went into the treasury of Yuba. After deducting from the debt of Yuba the amount expended for public buildings, &., and crediting Nevada with the amount cellected from her citizens for licenses after the county wes divided, it was found that Yuba was justly indebted to Nevada in a eonsiderable sum, The Commissioners appointed on bebalf of this county were of that epinion, but the Yuba Commissioners, without regard to justice or equity, set up a large claim against Nevada co. Commissions wore afterwards appointed by the Legislature to settle the differences between the two counties, but they failed to meet at the time and place appointed, and uo award was ever made by them. One of the Commissioners afterwards, itis true, did make a pretended award, but his acts, in the absence of the agent for Nevada county, and of the other Commissioners, were illegul, and palpably unjust and partial. jer The editor of the Grass Valley Telegraph, having been convicted of a gross inconsistency, attempts te get out of it, by stating that Mr. Boring was the “acting’’ Sheriff at the time the sales were published in the Zelegraph, and that the editor of the Democrat then owned an interest in the Telegraph office. Admitting that his statements are correct, we cannot see that his case is made any better. It is not true, however, that Mr. Boring was acting as Sheriff when the sales were published in the Zelegraph ; he was merely a Deputy in the offiec. He held the office two or three weeks, by appeintment, after the resignation of Mr. Endicott, and during that time the sales were published in the Democrat. The present editor of the Democrat, at the time referred to, held a bill of sale of the Telegraph office, but the ownership was merely nominal. The materials were then owned by Mr. 8. Thomas, and the emoluments of the establishment went to its present editor. Ovr Representatives.—The last mail steamer brings us the gratifying intelligence that our representatives in Washington are all hard at werk for the interests of California, Mr. Gwin is pushing forward the Pacific railroad bill with a fair proepect of success. Mr. Broderick, as one of the committee on military affairs, has introduced a bill establishing a line of military posts on the immigrant route to California, which he is urging upon the attention of the Senate with characteristic energy. Mr. Seott has introduced a bill to provide for the safety of passengers traveling on steamships, and Mr. McKibben has given notice of a bill to provide for the transportation of the mails from New York to San Francisco, via New Orleans and Tehuantepec. ADVANTAGES oF Goon Socirry.—We regret to learn that one of our oldest and most estcemed citizens, is about to leave Nevada and take up his residence in Placer county, He saysa community that will acquit Dr. Bates, hang a negro by lynch law, and get up s remonstrance against a Sunday law, must be a desirable community for a peaceably disposed man te live in. Contemrtisix Tuert.—The rope whieh had been used to hang Butler, was.stolen from the gallows on Friday evening. We should not wonder if the thief should eventually be suspended by a similar rope. Street IMpRovEMENTS.—The property holders on Main street commenced planking that thoreugbfare on Monday. The planks have been laid down for a distance of about one hundred feet, commencing at the bridge in front of the Monumental Hotel. Ariantic Parers.—J. E. Hamlin was the first to deliver us Atlantic papers, received by the Golden Age. We are also under obligations to Geo. Welch for New York popers. received from the East, we learn that there is no doubt that bill will pass to organize the new territory on the east of the dividing ridge of the Sierra Nevada. Mr. MicHa®L BRennaN.—The S. F. Herald, jin speaking of the late tragedy in Grass Valley, pays the following tribute to Mr. Brennan: “Mr. Brennan was a highly educated and accomplished gentleman. Ke hea been connected with the New York press for some years, and as a stenographer or editor had few equals. He came to this country almost two years ago, to superintend the operations of the Mount Hope Mining Company, and as soon as he had made the necessary arrangements, eent for his family, to whom he was devotedly attached. We were well and intimately acquainted with Mr. Brennan and his amiable lady, almost from childhood ; and a more honorable, high minded gentleman than Mr. Brennan we have seldom met with, whilst his lad and accomplished. was all that was virtuous e have scarcely the heart to enquire into the melancholy cause ef their . oni untimely end. Peace to their ashes.’’ Tae Atiantic TELEGRAPH.~—-A letter frem George Saward, Esq., Secretary of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, dated at London, Jan. 15, eays: “Our arrangements here for the completion of the work we have in hand are pro, ing satisfactorily, and I trust and believe that wur next attempt will be crowned with success.— The machinery is being overhauled under the direction of English and American Engineers, and experiments will be carefully tried before sailing next time, with @ view to meet eve known or antivipated difficulty. The Engli Government has m granted us the use of ships; and the map’ ure of new cable te sup-' ply the place of that which was lost is going on satisfactorily. It is intended at nt to take out 2,800 miles ef cable, being 300 miles more than wae thought sufficient last time.”’ LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Morper of Grass Vaiizy.—A man named Michael Cummings, was killed at Grass Valley on Monday, by Michael Conners. The following are the particulars of the affair as related tous: The two men had got inte a difficulty on Sunday evening. They met again, in Beston Ravine, about noon on Monday. Conners told Cummings that they had beetter drop their difficulty, and go inte Cloonan’s and take a drink, to which Cummings assented. As Cummings was standing at the bar, Conners came up béhind and stabbed him under the left shoulder-blade with a bowie knife, killing him almost instantly. The parties standing around, instead of arresting the murderer, went after a warrant, thus giving him an opportunity to escape. Conners went to Allison Ranch, drew some money due him for work, and left. Officer Van Hagan was in Grass Vailoy Monday afternoon, but was net able to get any information as to the whereabouts of the murderer, The murderer and victim were both Irishmen. Cummings has been living for some time at French Corral, He went to Grass Valley, where he has a brother, on Sunday, to get employment.’ His brother had precured hima job, and went to Boston Ravine to inform him, and found him dead. Discaarcep.—G. W. Moore, a full account of whose arrest and exvmination for being an accessory in the shooting of Reynolds at San Juan, we gave last week, was discharged on Wednesday. There was no positive evidence that Moore fired at Reynolds, but it was pretty well established by the testimony of the physicians who examined Reynolds’ body, that he had been bit by six different balls. Northup, it is cortain fired but five shots, and Meore was standing by with a pistol in his hand, one barrel of which had been discharged. It was in proof, however, that the tube of the discharged barrel was rusty, and exhibited the appearancé o? having been fired off at least a month, aud . several witnesses swore that only five shots were fired. Many of the circumstances connected with this affair, the giving of Northup to the charge of Moore, who was implicated as an accessory, aud the subsequent escape of the principal, ceem somewhat singular, to say the least, to persons ata distance. A jury might not convict Northup of murder, but his case is one which demands a judicial investigation, and no one having any regard for his character as a citizen would have assisted him in escaping from the officers. Burnep To Deata.—A_ correspondent from Alpha, informs us that a man named Christian Strubing was purned to death in his cabin on Poorman’s creék, last Sunday night. He was carried home by some of his friends about sundown, being intoxicated at the time, and left alone, having « bottle of brandy in his hand. It is supposed that he fell in the fire, and that the cabin caught from his clothes, av his body was found lying ia the fire-place. The unfortunate man was a @erman by birth, but had lived several years ip Missouri, where he has two sisters, —A friend of Mr. Strubing informed us yesterday, that he was probably murdered and robbed, and the cabin sct on fire. He says that Strubing wasin Washington during Sunday, that he drank nothing during the day, and left for heme in the evening, being perfectly sober at the time, Tux Prorrty Tax.—The property tax for the year 1858, in this county, for State and county purposes, will be $2 15 on the hundred dollars, the county tax having been fixed by the Board of Supervisors last Saturday. The following is the amount which has been fixed for the different funds: State fund..... eee cavers ce County general fund.,...... County special fund.. Public building fund.. ..

Heavy on tur Proression.—The evidence on the examination of G. W. Moore, for being accessory to the shooting of Reynolds at San Juan, was closed on Tuesday evening of last week, The case was argued by the attorneys the next morning, and Justice Johnson sat four hours and listened with the greatest attention to their speeches, after which he quietly pulled his written decision out of his coat pocket aud read it, What a vast amount of elequence was wasted in this case! The legal gents, whose arguments didn’t appear to have any effect, consider this a clear case of ‘casting pearls before ewine.”’ Anrgstsp.—Under Sheriff Van Hagan arrested a man named Roberts, on Sunday last, at the Primrose Valley House, on the Grass Valley and Kough & Ready road. Roberts recently escaped from the Auburn jail, where he bad been sentenced for petty larceny. The same fellow was once confined in the Nevada fail, for petty larceny, having been sent down frem + apy flat, and was discharged on Christmas ay. Gerrixe Even.—Some of the chicken thieves at Gold Hill, in order to get even for their trouble and expense in being arrested, have poisoned a poodle dog belonging to a little girl. This is about what might be expected from men that would rob hen-roosts. We have been assured that the more respectable portion of the chicken party had nothing to do with the poisng. Casz or Gopsurc.—The trial of Leuis Goldburg, who has been indicted for murder, in stabbing John Enders, at Bloomfield, on the 26th of Deo, last, has been set for next Monday, in the District Court. Messrs. Buckner & Hill, McConnell & Niles, and Henry Meredith have been retained for the defense. New Banxine Finu.—Mr. J. C. Birdseye, of Nevada, and C. N. Felton, of Marysville, have epened a banking house in this place at the stand formerly occupied by Williamson & Dawa. The firm will be known as J. C. Birdseye Notary Pusiic.—Henry L, Joachimssen, Esq. has been appointed N ty, by Gev. Weller. ee omy on of Major C. Bolin. ” M.C. Belin, alias David Butler, who was tried and convicted in this county of the murder of Robert Moffatt, at Downieville, in ‘September 1855, was executed last Friday. He was tried under the uame of Butler, and by that name enly has he been known until a few days ago, when his true name was made public, there being no further inducement for him to conceal it. Bolin, in accordance with his own request, was brought out of jail at twelve o’elock, and got into a carriage which was in readiness at the door. In the same carriage were Reverends Dryden and Warren, and the jailors, Mesers. Lenbart aud McFadden. The Nevada Rifles under command of Lieut. Phil. Moore, formed around the carriage and kept the crowd ata respectful distance. Sheriff Boring, Deputy Van Hagan, and Ex-Sheriff Butterfield, of Nevada, and Sheriff Irwin and Deputy Proctor ef Sierra, followed immediately behind the earriage on horseback. The gallows had been erected on the other side of Lost Hill, about balf a mile from the Court House. An immense crowd started for the gallows with the carriage, the most of them going ahead. On arriving at the place of execution, the rifle company cleared the ground immediately around the gallows, the officers and a few others remaining inside the circle. The doomed man then got out of the carriage, walked to the gallows without assistance and run oriskly up the steps. He was dressed in black. The officers of Nevada and Sierra counties, the two elergymen, and Mr, Sargent, his attorney, went upon the scaffeld. Mr. Boring then read the death warrant, also, the respite of Gov, Johnsen. Belin then turning bis face towards the crowd on the west, spoke nearly as follows : “I have this to say to the dying friends I leave bebind; that you will give up the follies of this werld, and be poser to die, I would to God I could live always, for the benefit of my friends, I see many friends here. Itcomes my time now to die. 1 trust in God, and soou expect to be iu his presence. I hope, this example will be a warning to you all, My advice is to you all, to shun bad company, ever be your own counsel, and never be led astray by the bad. I feel for you all. You no doubt feel for me. I much regret that I must die and leave my friends behind; but we must all die and leave friends, and you will soon followme. I don’t think I have had justice done me, but I am soon going to where I expect to get justice. I have had my life published for the benefit of those I leave behind. Ihave read it over since it was printed. It isthe statement I made, mostly ia my own language, and is true. I wish you could see your folly asI sce mine. There are many around me indulging in the same bad habits which has brought me to this end—thousands around me. My parents were kind to me—well advised me as a ohild, but I have not heeded their advice. I leave sisters and a brether behind. I trust God will pretect them.” Bolin then turned his face in an opposite direction, and repeated the substance of the remarks given above. He spoke in a subdued, solemn tone, but with a firm voice. Some fifteen or twenty of his acquaintances then came forward and shook hands with him and he bid them all a last good bye. Then holdiag up the pamphlet containig the narrative of his life, he said: “This is the statement Ehave made; it isa true one. You will probably many of you read it; when you do so, I wish you to regard it as the statement of a dying man. My conscience is clear of murder. I now return thanks to the officers who have had charge of me, They have treated me as a brother. We are all born to die. God gave our lives, and he can take them. I have been a great sinner, but I feel that I have made my peace with God. I wish I could live to advise those with whom I have heretofore associated; but I cannot, and if my death will be any warning to them, I am reconciled to die. The sting of death don’t seem to be any horror on my mind. Death is prefferable to being
thus exposed to the world to the disgrace of my people. I have been in prison thirteen months —in ehains. I have been visited by mat ladies and children, They all spoke kindly to me, and many of the ch ldren wept, They reminded me of my childhood days, It seems but a few days since I wasachildathome. I stray‘}ed from home, was led into bad company, and have been a great sinner. I trust to meet you all in a happier land. If I could think of another word that would benefit you, I would speak it. I much regret to give up this life, but a man does not fear to die whon he is prepared. I trust we shall again meet in a land where we . will part no more, “T will say a final farewell to all—a final farewell to all. I hope my fate will be a warning to all. Let those who admire the follies of this world take warning, Let worldly mifnds the world pursue, It hath no charms for me. Once I admired its follies too, But God hath set me free. “Farewell to all, forever.’’ He ther shook hands with those on the scaffold, pabled of 0 boots, took his handkerchief from his pocke. .ad threwit over among the crowd, His arms and feet were pinioned, and after taking a last look atthe world, the black cap was drawn over his face. He then request. ed of Mr. Bering that his body should be buried . in the same clothes he then wore and that a let. ter which he had received from a friend should be left in hie pecket. The rope was then adby Rev. Mr. Dryden, and at the word “amen,’’ the rope wascut by Mr. Boring, the drop fell, and at 1: 40 P. M. the bedy of Bolin was sut. pended in the air. He made one or two slight struggles, and all was over. Twenty minutes after, Dr. Dailey announced that life, was extinct. The body hung abeut thirty minutes, and was then cut down and placed in a coffin and given to his friends. Bolin stood on the seaffold a little over an hour, and bore up te the very last with the most heroic firmness. There was nothing of the bravade in hie words or actions; be seemed to fully realize his situation; did not ceneeal his regret at leaving the world, but exhibited no craven fear of death. As the crowd returned into town they were counted, and numbered 4516. Quite anumber left for their homes without coming back, and probably not less than 5000 people witnessed the execution; among whom were about twenty . women.
