We have San Francisco papers to the. Sth inst. Our previous advices were to the 21st of May inclusive. The funeral of Mr. King took place at-the Unitarian Charchi at San Franciseo, where the services were conducted by Rev. Messrs. Cutler, Taylor and L.acy. At their conclusion a proces sion was formed, said to be the most im posing ever seen in California and the re mains were conveyed to their last resting place in the Lone Mountain Cemetery. While these ceremonies; were going on In one part of the city, a fair different scene was being enacted in another. We copy from the Alta California : EXECUTION OP CASEY AND CORA. It had been determined to postpone the Execution of these persons until Friday, but a report of such a character as led the com mittee to believe that an attempt to rescue the prisoners would be made by an organ ization at the time of the' funeral, when they thought the rooms would only be par tially guarded, gained circulation, and it was finally determined to complete the work, and relieve themselves of their anx iety and suspense by carrying out' the judgment which had already been pro nounced. . i Notwithstanding the great gathering at the funeral the rooms off the committee were surrounded by acout 20,000 people, who had got .an intimation :of the' proposed execution, sncThurried to the spot. The most formidable guard was arrang ed, which embraced alt the arms of the committee, consisting of about 3,000 stand of muskets and two field pieces. The streets in the immediate vicinity of the rooms were cleared by the soldiers, and the brist ling bayonets that were displayed in every direction made the eeefie one of great sol emnity. One of the field pieces was plant ed so as to command Davis street, from Sacramento street, and the other so as to command Front street. At about 1 o'clock workmen were seen preparing the gallows in front of the committee room, and this preparation drew together an immense throng. :. . ' " About one o'clock the prisoners were brought to the windows, in view of the mnl titude, dressed in their usual costume, and mounted the platform, having their arms pinioned. They both appeared firm, and but little affected by the dreadful -fate that awaited them. Before placing the rope upon their necks an opportunity was given them to speak to the people assembled, when Casey said : i " Gentlemen I hope this will be forever engraved on your minds and on your hearts. I am no murderer. Let no man call me a murderer, or assassin. Let not the com munity pronounce me to be; a murderer. Let not the Alta, the Chronicle and the Globe, which papers have so bitterly de nounced me; let them not stigmatize me a murderer in their daily and weekly papers, nor send my name to the States as a mur derer; for I never did murder, nor attempt tofommit murder. Let no editor dare to slander my name or memory. Gentlemen, I am no murderer. My faults are because of my early education. Where I belonged I was taught to fight, and that to resent my own wrong was my province. If you see a funeral train to-morrow, let no one dare say that there goes the body of a murder er. This I have done, but I am no murder er. When. I have departed hence, dare not you or any of you call me a murderer, nor send my name to the world as one. I have an aged mother, and let her not hear me called a murderer or an assassin. I have always resented wrong and I have done it SOW. - - ;" 48 Ob I my poor mother, my poor mother; how her heart will bleed at this news. It is her pain I feel now.' This will wring her heart, but she will not believe I am a tourderer. 1 but resented an injury, my poor mother ! Ob, my mother, God bless " Uentlemen, 1 pardon you, as I nope God will forgive you, as I hope he will for give me Amen 1 Oh I my I poor mother I Oh God, have mercy upon me. ' My Jesus take care of me. Oh God, rfth accumu lated guilt of SS8 pi 29 years, have mercy Upon me my poof mother I" At the conclusion of tfcese remarks he seemed to grow weak, and was On able to stand without support from those standing by him. Father Gallagher was by his side as his spiritual adviser,! and constant-. hr telling him to stop speaking ami pray. He also offered him the cross, which he kissed several times. When the noose was placed about his neck, he was deeply . af fected and nearly fainted away, and would have fallen rom the scaffold but for those who supported him. ' 1 Cora did not say a word, of desire to. He stood upon the scaffold during Casey's speech perfectly unmoved, and when the rope was put around his neck he was as unconcerned its before: He also pressed Che cross to bis lip often during his last moments, i -; - r-i-v - At SO minutes past one o'clock every- thing being ready to carry out the design of the executioners, the sie-nal was civen. and the cord that EeTcl up the outer end of the scaffolds, or platforms, was cut Upon the roof of Mhebuildmg, and the doomed meri were both launched into eternity, and suspended between heaven and earth. They were dropped about six feet, and ex pired apparently wttnout any strurglin save a few motions of the lower limbs, (si RE&OVAL Of THE BODIES. The bodies were allowed to .hang, until 15 minutes past 2 o'clock, or 55 minutes in all, when they were cut down and taken into the lower room of the building, and afterwards handed over to the coroner, who will hold an inquest upon them. Previous to the execution, Bell Cora was sent for at ihe request of the spiritual ad viser of Cofa: and thev were formally mar ried by th&Tpjriest about thirty minutes be fore the execution. This was done at the requeatjof Ms. 'spiritual adviser, who would not grant him absolution until this cere mony Had' b$fo performed. Tbewmnc of death being ended, tne bod,yoTarmed men who had acted as guards on the occasion were all drawn up in line on Sacramento street, extending from Davis street to Sansome street, double file, and were reviewed by the superior of; ficers. After this review they counter marched down to the rooms, and entering one door stacked their arms, filed out at another door and mingled with the citizens. After the execution the bodies were ta ken possession of by the coroner, and an inquest herd, the jury returning the follow ing verdict: " The undersigned jurors convened at the coroner's office on the 22d of May, 1850, to inquire into the cause of the death of Charles Cora and Jas. P. Casey, found dead at the rooms of the Vigilance Com mittee on the 22d inst , do find that they came to their death frorn hanging by the neck, which hanging was done by a body of men styling themselves a Vigilance Committee of San Francisco." The bodies were then given up to their friends. That of Casey was taken charge of by Engine Company No. 10, of which be had been foreman, and that of Cora by his widow. TEMPORARY QUIET FRAUD DISCOVERED. There was no new cause of excitement up to the 29th of May. 1 he city remain ed comparatively quiet, though an occa sional arrest was made by the vigilance committee, who still continued in session, and in fact in full commahd of the city. On that day it was made known that a patent ballot box had been discovered by and was in possession of the committee, the object of which was to speculate on and control the elections. It was of the same lorm and appearance as tne boxes ordinarily used at the polls, but arranged as follows: I The cover opens like that to a common trunk or chest, and is fastened by a com mon trunk lock, the spring of which has been carefully filed away so that by a cer tain pressure upon the edge of the cover it can be opened without the key, while it is impossible to do so without this peculiar influence upon the cover. The inner por- - .4 lion of the box had every appearance of genuineness and fairness, and about one hundred votes were ebserved,some of which were used in electing delegates to the Slate convention and members of general eom rmitee in July, 1854, and some of them were used at a later period in electing del egates to a county convention and to city convention which may have been the same year. . - , Every part of the box was thoroughly tried and examined; and after a long search a false bottom was found and removed, which was done by taking hold of a mould jog, or base board at one end, whieh ex tended around the bottom of the box, and about two inches wide, and drawing out with the base board, a very thin bottom board, which was fitted in about an inch above the other bottom, thereby leaving a space to place in any required number of votes prior to the commencement of the e lection. In this space were found a large number of ballots nicely and snugly folded together, and corresponded with one kind that were found in the general apartment of the box. At one end of the box a simi lar slide was found, which revealed a space sufficient to hold five hundred Votes, and which was opened by drawing the 6hde downward from the bottom of the box. In this apartment were found ballots that cor responded with the other kind in the gener al assortment. We have studied upon it and the most sensible conclusion that we can arrive at is that these two private spaces are supplied with a certain number of rotes prior to o pening the polls, those of one party placed in the bottom and the other in the end. The election or farce goes on as usual, and the polls are closed. Every one can see that everything has been conducted fairly, and the count is pfoceeded With, and bids are solicited from the candidates for their election and the highest bidder will be e lected. As these stuffers generally refuse to allow any one in the poll room until their work is done, U easy to draw the end slide down between them and the table, and give one ticket four or five hundred votes, or the bottom slide may be drawn and the votes all turned upon the table, and thus give the other ticket the election in accor dance with the price paid. On the 30th of May, Nicholas Graham, who' had been convicted on the 19th of May,- fof killing a shipmate named Joseph Brooks, sentenced to be hung and twice reprieved, was hrrtrg under due process of law. Before hi execution he acknowled ged his guilt and the justice of his sentence, The Alta Calrfornian of J'ume t says ! : The public pulse run op lo fever" heat a gain yesterday, and - the stirring" scenes of last week were renewed, - The long falked ; attack upon . the committee Tooms seemed to many to be near at hand. The insinua tions that were thrown out thai Judge Ter ry was about to takethe jnattef of the res cue of the prisoners in hand seemed to give Uw "law' and order,',' party j&ty courage, and their countenances .beamed with de light at their fancied overthrow of the com mittee, and a release of their comrades by the physical and legal pcweT of one man. The committee stationed a double guard a boutthe rooms, loaded their arms and plant ed a couple of cannon at the door, loaded with grape shot, in order to give any par ties who. chose to intrude upon them a warm reception. DEATH OF YANKEE SULLIVAN. - - A new flame was added to the excite ment about 11 o'clock by the announce ment that James, alias Yankee Sullivan bad committed suicide in his cell at the committee rooms, where be was confined. Soon after the death of the prisoner we were waited upon by a couple of gentlemen of Uhe committee, who were endorsed" by the seal of that body, which they bore upon a written document .from its officers, who gave us a statement of the facta , concern ing his death, so far as they are or can be known. From them we learn that during his con finement he has been cjuite uneasy as to the disposition which would be made with him, and has been restless and eating but little. During all his confinement he has been very penitent for his conduct, and ex pressed a determination to reform if he should be liberated. He' has made a free and unreserved confession of all his crimes and rowdyism, and disclosed, as far as pos sible, the-conncction of his accomplices.' He has been assured, ever since his arrest, that he should not be hung, as the commit tee would not execute any man" for a crime that the law of the land would not do the same for. But he was informed that he would be sent out cf the country. He bad great reluctance about going to Sydney, and frequently begged of a mem ber of the committee to intercede to have him senttoew York. He promised the member that if he could be sent to the. At lantic States he would avoid the large cities, go back into the country, and give up fighting and the use of liquor. He was very anxious that he might be sent alone, as he said his old associates would kill him tor tne revelations ne naa made, tie seem ed to fear transportation with the other prisoners there, and some rowdies not yet captured, as much as he did death itself. The committee man agreed to do what he could for him, but Could not promise to se cure all that he asked. THE StlCIDE. Yesterday morning, at 5.1-2 o'clock-, he called to the guard who stood.without the door of his cell, and asked for a glass of water. Alter drinking, he said he had ex perienced a most horrible dream, and went on to relate it. He thought he was ar raigned, tried, convicted, sentenced and" ex ecuted. . He heard the footsteps of the soldiers approaching to bring him out to the gallows felt the rope draw about his neck -Imagined he dropped, and while hanging in imagination he awoke and call ed for the glass of water. The guard cheered him up, and assured him that he need not fear an execution, as the commit tee had already agreed to send him out of the Statfe. He Was left to himself again, and at 8 1-2 o'clock, when his breakfast was brought to him, he was dead and cold. Physicians were at once sent for, and they pronounced life extinct, and were of opinion that he had been dead some time. He was lying upon hi3 bed, and the knife with -which the deed was committed was lying just beneath his right hand, from which it had apparently dropped.' The knife was a common table knife, with a German silver blade and handle of same material, and was quite dull so much so as ordinary knives of this character. The means resorted to to produce death was to make an incision upon the left arm, near the elbow, and cutting the fleshy part of the arm down to the bone, laying open a horrid wound. Two large arteries were completely severed, and death must have ensued speedily. On the 1st of June an inquest was held on the remains of Sullivan. From the evidence we extract the following : Emily Mary Sullivan sworn. I was the wife of one Francis Murray alias Yankee Sullivan, and have been for the last four teen months. We were married by & Ger man clergyman in this city. We have lived together in this city and the Sandwich Islands. He is a native of Ireland and aged 37 years. I saw him last alive on. Friday last at 12 M. He was confined in a cell in Sacramento street, at the vigilance committee rooms. He told -me the . com mittee were going to hang him on the fol lowing day. He looked at fhe wedding ring on my finger and said that it was the first present he had given me. He then took a diamond ring from his pocket and said that it would . be the jast he would give me, as he was positive he would be hung the next day, as he had heard the guard at the cell door say so.-, 1 told him not to be afraid, as they would not do so. He did not seem much depressed in spirits, and was as. cheerful as usual. The -last day I was with him before -hia-arrest he was Speaking of the crime of suicide, and said be" would nevef doit, for then be could not get the rites' of the church, as lie was a -Catholic. He intended1 to leatve the coun try at the time of his arrest The day he-j was arrested ne told me to pack up all my clothing a he was "going to leave the State for good. I have one female child, five months old, by the deceased. I recognise the body as that of my husband. Several of those connected with the vig ilance committee testified that Sullivan had been assured that no harm should be done him further than to1 send him from the State. The verdict of the jury was that deceased eame to hfs death from the effects of a wound with a knife inflicted by himself apon the left arm, which severed the bra cbinal artery." 1 ; " " , INCIDENTS OF HIS ZJFB. ; ..Sulluraa was a native of England, and was early , in life, transported to Sidney for theft.' He arrive in New . York while ruite young, and was at once recognised as a distinguished Jnglisn prize fighter.. Up on his arrival there he opened what was Called the Saw Dust House," and gave out that he wasTCposing upon bis laurels, and could not be successfully disturbed. ki$ FIGHTS. The first priize fight in which he was en gaged in this country Ws with Vincent Hammond, on the 20th of SepterHbec, near Philadelphia, fbrj 8 ID0 -a iide, and which he won in ten finkruftsT' Henext fought Tom Hayef eight d"gp" afterwards, and was beaten afierc$teU of two hours and fifty-five minutes. .-Ha Ihird fight was with a man by the rtamVof Secof, on the 22d-of January, 1845, forf 30O a side.and in which he was the vKTtorafter sixty-seven rounds. The fourth was vith Bell, on the 29th of August, 11842, jo'which Sullivan came off first best after 3 minutes. He afterwards irf 1847 fought vith an English man who came over to coftend for the lau rels which SullivaQ ha achieved ; but they still remained upon the brow of Yan kee, if we may be allowed such an appli cation of the word. Hia next and sixth contest was with Tom Hyer again. at Rock Point, Md., 6n the Eastern Short of the Chesapeake Bay, for $10,000. In tbs bat tle Sullivan was badly beaten in seveueen minutes. He subsequently tought Jhn Morrissey at Boston Corners, Mass , aid was declared, the victor. Since then fr spent most of his time in California, where he has been engaged in some few skirmish es of little importance. Ilis associations through life have been of the lowest kind. and his life spent in the manner above des cribed. He was One of those loungers who never do a day's work, but always manage to live , well from the .products of others. The last dollar he was known to earn was in acting inspector at the Presido election 1 ist fall, for which position he wa3 selected on account of his physical ability to de fend a double bottom box, or to keep off honest citizens, while other thieves changed all the votes, in accordance with the bids which candidates might make. OTHER EVENTS. On the same day the well known Chas. Duane and John Cooney were arrested by or ierof the committee. The other persons in their, custody at that time were Billy .Mulligan, Martin Gallagher, Wm. Carr, Edward Culgers, and Wooley Kearney. Reports were current during the day that the opponents of the committee were sup plying themselves with arms, and a con flict was expected between the two. On the 2d instant a mass meeting was held in opposition to the committee, but it did not effect anything beyond the adop tion of the annexed resolution : Resolved, That .it is the sense of this meeting that the reign of law and order should be resumed inthecity of San Fran cisco, and that a termination should be put to the present excitement, and that every free American citizen be readmitted to those inalienable rights which a free con stitution and equal laws assure to them. The proceedings appear to have been much iiilerruped by attendants who were not in favor of the object. THE FEELING ABR01D. A telegraphic i despatch was received from Sacramento,; which stated that there was great excitement there on account of the departure of. Governor Johnson and ludge Terry for our cityy as tie people sup posed, to interfere, with the committee. " With one voice," says the despatch, "the people here say to those oncials,, let the Vigilance Committee alone, or we will come to its' aid 1' "the committee are right, and we will sustain them with our life's blood !" Such is the sentiment throughout the State, wherevjr heard from. We conversed last evening with a gen tleman who has been traveling through the interior since the shootio? of Kinjr, and he represents; the enthusiasm among the people quite equal to wtat is manifest here. I he first violent blow that is struck at the committee here will be a signal that will flood San Francisco with men from the mountains, in whose hards the thieves and ballot-box stuffers would find less sae-ty-than with the committee. THE MEMORY OF MR. KING. The whole State annfiared like one IT l great family clothed in the habliments of sorrow andi woe At Douieville, miinite guns were fired for several hours. . i governor's proclamation. On the 3d of June, the Governor is sued, his proclamation, declaring the city in a state. of insurrection, and au thorising the Major General ol the sec ond division of the State Milliliato raise an army to preserve law and order. The action did hot alarm the commit tee, as they have 5 000 men fully armed and equipped ready for,instaBt action, being thoroughly orgatnzea and in con stant drill for two weeks under compe tent officers. Men, money and" muni tions of war from all parts of the State are at their command and it is confi dently believed f that the Governor's ef forts will amount to notning. The vol unteer, military-companies in San Fran cisco and Sacramento have disbanded, in order to avoid being called out by the Covernor. Accompanying this proclamation." in the Sari 'Francisco papers is an order from Major General Shenan, calling upon all the officers under his commaid to lill their companies to the legal stan dard, and making a requisition upon all male citizens of the country, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, not exempted by law, for the purpose. t ne Alta uaiuornia. wnicn-tnrows ridicule upon . the whole proceeding, states that only a few persona were presenting themselves for enrolment. Oq the other hand, , the San Francisco Herald says tnat- they numbered be tween fifteen and eighteen hundred : be fore night they would - amount to three thousand and eventually to at least ten thousand men. : " " EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEGrSLATVRE. On the ; afternoon of the 4th inst a petition for ah extra session of the legis lature was circulated and numerously signed, asking for passage of the follo wing measures . 1st. The passage of an act providing for the election of new officers of the citv and county of San Francisco at the earliest dav possible. 2d.- An act to preserve the purity of elections. 3d. Such amendments of the crimi nal code as will secure the prompt ad ministration of justice and the justice and the speedy punishment oi crimes. THE LATEST The Vigilance Committee still contin ued their organization, and if a judg ment may be formed from the tone of the newspapers sustaining their proceed ings, had no idea of dissolving it. Thus matters remained at the depar ture of the steamer, with the city on the very verge of an armed conflict between the legal authorities of the State and the seli-constituted redressers ol tne griev ances of the citizens. It is to be.hopcd, however, that more mature reflection on the part of the committee will relieve the country from the terrible evils of a civil war, and its members from the penalties which must attach to treason.
