On the Illinois Central Railroad, last

Great Excitement at Eos Angelos.
Great excitement had occurred at Los
Angelos, growing out of a stay > f execution
of f wo murderers, Brown and Lee, leaving
a third, named Alvitre, to suffer the penalty.
Brown, it appears, was concerned with Ai-
vitre in the murder of a man named Clif
ford, and was considered the more guilty of
the two, and barely escaped being hung on
his arrest. On the news of the stay of the
execution becoming known, a large indigna
tion meeting was held, at which the mayor
proclaimed himself in favor of hanging
Brown and Alvitre together. Speeches
were also made by Col. MoClanaban, Capt.
J. D. Hunter and Capt. A. Bell, and a com
mittee was appointed to make arrangements
for the hanging of Brown and Alvitre.—
The sub.-equent proceedings are thus given
in the Californian, published at Los Ange
los :
“ The Sheriff’s party having spiked the
different pieces of ordnance in the citv dur
ing the past night, smiths are engaged in
drilling them out. The Sheriff is determin
ed to do his duty in carrying out the law at
all hazards, having yesterday made his will
and prepared himself for every emergency.
Some fifteen or twenty men are prepared to
stand by him to death.
“ Eleven o'clock.—The execution is to take
place in the jail yard, the hills overlooking
which are fast becoming covered with the
populace.
“ Itcelve o'clock.—A committee of out
most respectable citizens have just visited
ihe Sheriff to get him to yield up Brown in
view of the frightful crisis. Tlie citizens
are arming and cartriges provided for some
pieces of artilery, to be used in demolishing
the jail building. Barton, the Sheriff, has
been consulted by the committee, but still
refuses. His friends are using every exer
tion in their power to prevent the effusion of
blood.
“ One o’clock, P. 21.—Two thousand men
have gathered from all portions of the coun
ty, well armed and determined. One hun
dred dollars has been paid this morning to
attended, the biddings being quite spirited.
About fifty were sold for the net sum of
$15,000, prices ranging from $100 to §500
per pew. The cost of the edifice was nearly
§30,000.
