Death of P. H. Clayton.
Although big continued state of feeble
health and alarming symptoms had in a
measure prepared Mr. Clayton's friends
for tba announcement of his death, the
news of his demise, yesterday morning,
caused a shock Ihrongbout this commu
nity, none the less severe because of the
more absorbing topic of the day with
which all minds were more or less en
grossed. He died between the hours of
7 and 8 o'clock, at the residence of his
daughter. Mrs. Byrne. His disease may
be described as n combination of dis
orders, the result of a generally enfeebled
Mate of the physical Rvstem, that condi
tion being ayoravated by a species of
rheumatic gout which attRcked the heart
and stomach and other vital functions
contiguous to those orcans. Ve do not
know Mr. Clavton's age. lie must have
been well along in the fifties, we should
judge. He came early to this State from
pacramento where he arrived from bis
home in Alabama in 149 or 1850. The
deceased was a man of considerable na
tive ability, and in his chosen calling
maintained a reputation fur a good deal
of skill as an advocate in criminal casts.
He was widely known and had many
friends. Ha will be bnried under the
(inspires of the Odd Fellows and Good,
remplars, to-morrow at 2 o'clock p. v.
JtTBoK Beattt pc.-e arrived at Battle
Mountain yesterday, and in company
with Mr. J. A. Blossom and two other
gentlemen went out to examine some
very promising mitn s in which they are
all very much interested. Hope they
may all make thf ir everlasting fortunes.
Speaking of Battle Mountain, our jovial
fellow countryman, Pow Huntsman, is
prospering there; Forbes, we are sorry
to learn, is quite sick with nn attack of
nervous prostration ; the three-carders
are not i8 hilarious as they used to be;
Bob McBeth dropped down to Winne
mucca on Thursday to help his brother-in-law
to get an audience for certain lec
tures of his delivering; and Battle
Mountain looks on the sage-brush and
the sage-biubh looks on the cirenmben
dibusted Humboldt, which storied stream
goes on forever.
rERsoKAL. Mr. Jere Miller, one time
of Columbus, passed this point going
to Virginia City yesterday morning.
Among those who ennie to Carson for a
worthier purpose than to see Murphy
hanged, were Bed Wheeler, Ditto Precip.
Davis, and Sam Jones of the Crown
Point mine. These worthy and exem
plary men gave a moral sniff to the at
mosphere which acted like hartshorn on
a demoralized nose.
A ebaci or baileoadebs got their kegs
full yesterday and made themselves con
spicuous by kicking cp a bit of a fight.
A brief acquaintance with the station
house seemed to have the effect of abat
ing the onpleasantness and bringing on
.a reeling peace.

Interview wi4b Murphy specially
with regard 4 the Npirlia and
gptritaalism...Tho Wretched Mass
of Shoalder Striker', Check Ool.
lllas. etc.. Swear that they are
Bilked."
Yesterday morning Carson was alive
with loafers and the scum of creation
or rather of (Jolil Hill ami Virginia
City which is maybe worse. And
tho glorious " pards" of Carson united
with them. A" hive of dirty drones.
They all gaped together in sympathy.
The inhumanity of man to man was
well developed in them. They were
pimpislily dressed and acted accord
ingly. Greasy black suits and red
cravats. They were on the "bejeez"
platform. Bootblacks, prostitutes,
bruisers, hoodlums, horribles, de
generate individuals, miserables, apol
ogetic of baboons, wretche. They
swarmed. They wanted anything.
A hair from the murderer's black
beard or a nickel picked from the
pocket would have been received.
Murphy was askei what he thought
of the crowd. He characterized tlictu
as
BARBAROUS, IGNORANT, OROSS.
He said, maybe, some of them hated
him and wauted to see him suffocated.
Thev would revel iu tho spectaclo if
himself, pinioned, talking against
hope and the devil. It is rather gratify
ing to onr natures to see an inert mass
of flesh dangling. It is startling and
we sympathize. We say terrible!
crack a joke, go home, know all about
it, and wait for another circus as chil
dren on the 2ith of December dream
of the coming Santa Claus. But
SiriiPBT didn't care.
When he heard his death warrant read
to him by the sheriff, he listened
critically. " Joaan K. McCullomT" be
said. " You beat me ; I've know
McC'ulloiu longer and better than
anvbody and I never knew he had a
K' in his name before." This occurred
in the gloomy jail, the sheriff and one
other only being present. Murphy
was
IN sriRir LAND
though not iu communication with the
spiriti. He said his frame of mind
and his jail surroundings repelled the
good spirits. The bad ones were
floundering around like drunken men
and disgusted him.
HIS METAPUYU'S
"I have no reverence for the laws of
man. I look up to the eternal laws of
Nature and of God. The Universe
breathes. Its breath is the voice of the
Maker. The mountain lives. Animate
and Inanimate formations are the
energized will of the Almighty."
HIS RELIGION
"Christ actually lived. He was a
good man, a great reformer, a bene
factor to tho race. But he was not
God. He was in advance of his age,
and people can't endure that. So he
was crucified." Alt of this is con
denscd from a half hour's talk with
prisoner before he was led out to his
would be hearse. Ho is a man of
strong intellect (: Scotchman) and
holds abstract propositions .before his
mind as clearly as the ordinary Ameri
can sees the merits of a business con
cern. He bad been up all the night
before, talked nearly crazy by a dozen
reporters who took their turn to pump
his heart and soul.
THE SHEBIFF
said to him: "Now, John, I have never
put an iron on you yet, and I don't
want to, now. You can't escape, but I
don't want yon to try." Swift is a big
hearted man, and had a terrible job on
his hands. The prisoner went unshack
led to his doom. No attempt shall be
made to describe the scrambling aad
gaping of the curious hoodlum crowd to
get a look at him.
THE SCAFFOLD
was placed at the foot of a hill about
three-quarters of a mile north-east of
town. Thither the populace hurried, in
carriages, buggies, horseback and on
foot. And all breathless. By the time
the prisoner arrived there must have
been upwards of 2,000 persona on the
gronnd. The brow of the hill and the
age brnfh all aronnd of the rope circle
enclosing the gallows literally swarmed
with jostling men, women and children.
While all was expectancy it became ru
mored thnt a reprieve had been ordered
to December 24. The rumor was veri
fied by H. G. Parker, deputized Sheriff,
who read the c ocument giving tba
wretch an unwilling lease on his own
life. The crowd (-two or three) tried to
hurra! But it was too mnch for them.
They bad tried to express a feeling which
they did not feel.
Jk. BEPKESESTATION or ISSAMTT
had been made to the Governor who,
under the law, was required to grant a
reprieve in order to summon a jury to
inquire into the question of his sanity
or insanity. To hang an insane man is
plainly in the face of the law.
A few of the spectators wi re delighted
at the tutu iu poor Murphy's atf.tits.
Thev were, however, sadly in the minor
ity. A yirWa (if this bard allusion to
the monkey be allowed) was heard to
sav: "Jistas I expected. I never did
com to this d n toan without gittiu'
bilked!" Another bird of similar plum
age remarked that the whole rig was a
job put up bv the whiskey sellers of
Carson to rob 'the boys of Virginia and
Gold Hill. A double robbery robbery
of their money and their anticipated
sensation.
To the crowd thai described there ri
exceptions of courae which served to
fix the rnle all the more rigidly.
It is to be hoped that if the Board of
Pardons can do so, they will consider
the cae of the unfortunate favorably
for commutation although he would
rather die. The torture be endures, at
present, is dreadful.
MARRIED.
At the residence of Miss II. K. Clap,
Carson, Nevada, Dpcemlx r 17, 1874, by
Kev. Goo. B. Allen, Mr. Georgo B. Hill
to Miss Lizzie Wheeler.
The marriage ceremony and the wed
ding festivities were an occasion of rare
enjoyment. The bride looked very win
ning and sweet, attired in a lovely niau
ner in the usual emblematic drcs?. The
groom stood bis ground like a man.
The bridesmaid, Miss May Br.153, looked
very pretty, and was escorted in the or
deal by our gallant young townsman Mr.
E. Niles. Miss U. K. Clopp and Miss
E. C. Babcock, onr accomplished and
amiable towaswomen, opeurd their ele
gant house for the occasion, and did
most handsomely to entertain thcif
pupil. Miss Lizzie, who wim educated in
their school the Sicira Seminary. The
evening grew old rapidly amid the Inj
ury of a rare least ami aaneing 10 elo
quent music furnished by Professor
Merzbach and John Giant. A 1m ee
number of c'i'e were present; the Indies
weie dressed inelegant taste and fashion,
and the gentlemen looked as well as they
could eouipaiatively. The pleasing
feat of casting Ciudcrilla'g slipper was
performed iu time for the bride and
groom to take the train for California
where, and elsewhere, forever, may the
best blessings of earth attend them. We
give a list of rich presents, below, which
show the appreciation iu which the,
now. "old folks" are held, regretting
that we have not space to describe the

Bememberiatr (be Orphans.
Certain thoughtful ladies and gentle
men of Virginia City have made up a
purse of something like two hundred
dollars with which they mean to pur
chase some appropriate and substantial
Christmas presents for the children at
the State Orphan's Hume in this city.
Need we say that Carson should show
herself not behind hand in thns doing
the handsome thilig toward those little
wards of the State? Let ns not be out
done in acts of kindness and charity by
our neighbors and friends of the Corn
stock, but give, proportionally, as much
as themselves toward the object indicat
ed. We shall find and make known fur
ther particulars regarding the character
of presents which those thoughtful Vir
ginians mean to give to the Orphans, in
a day or two.
The new oas wobes north of the V. A
T. Company's shops are progressing well
toward completion. The excavation for
the tank is in process of completion,
and the laboratory which is a brick
building, flanked north and south with
frame wings, is almost ready for roofing.
The sooner Ibis desirable improvement
is in operation, the better for the com
munity whom it is designed to benefit.
