Yesterday, at San Leandro,/the ooynty seat of Alameda county, Ramon Amador, & R@ive Califor- ian, underwent the extreme/penaityfor the law for ‘Qhe crime of murder, commiried abort nine months ago, under the following cir cumstances:— THE CRIME, In January tast Amador was’ cattle herder and ‘was employed near Pleasanton, In Alameda county. ‘The locality was theo, and ts‘2ow, noted for the pre- sence of numerous Mextean thieves and despera- does, Whoare with/dimeulty kept in subjectton by the officers of the law, Hus eharacter, like that of many -of this compant#ons, was far from good. He had al- ready served ajterm inthe State Prison at San Quen- ‘un for horse giealiag, end was believed to be a man way wouid steal ii he could and do violeuce when me uared. On ibe itu of January a respectable citi- vex, bamet Henry Hiscock, leit his home, Vetween Keasanion and Hayward, to hut Pepe the oecupation by which he earned living. He tock with him a rife ana @ shot gun—tne former for killing the larger game, ‘the latter tor the smalier, He leit word that he Would return in the evening, but he returned no ~miore, for ho was destined to mest Amador, The jauier was engaged, in company with & youth named Gus Williams, in herding cate. Hiscock came up to the two and entered 1ui0 conversation with them, Amador vold Hiscock that he liad seen a hare a lew minutes before, and pointed out Lhe spot near whica he had seen it, Hiscock went, and soon re- turned with a hace, which he bad snot, This act of | sapparent iriendship led to more conversauon be- iween Agador and Hiscock, aad the former offered to show the place im which some deer might be found, The oer was of course accepicd, and the irwent oi together. Walliams’ noticed Hiscock and to Amador his shet gun, apparently to be re- ueved of 1s weigut, and then paid no more atten- tion to them or their movements. That night His- cock was missing, aud next day his fr.ends tarned out 1b a body to look for him. sey found him face d@ownwaris in ibe chaparral, thinly covered with el Be ae brauches and earth, dead. He haa en shot im the head trom bebind, and at very close quarters, for his neck had been burned by the powder, and che charge of shot had passed completely through his lead. It was -evident that he had been murdered, and the foot- steps of another man were plataly visible accompa. hying his, atmost to the very spot where he lay 9 earpse. Lhe body was removed to Pleasanton, and the news of Hiscock’s late caused intense excite- ment. Among those who came to view the bouy Was the boy Williams, and he immedatcly identified At as vuat ofthe man with whom Amador had gone ‘to point out to him thedeer. ‘The Acting Curoner, 1. N. Marks, called a jury together, and a verdict fin- plicating Amador had scarcely beeu found when Awador rode into the town, He was immediately sarreste | by une citizens and deivered mto tne cuse | souy of Constapie Faviile, who sent him to San Le. | andro Jau. To the arresung officer he told his first tale, varied much and often aiierwards, even up to ‘the day of bis death. He denied the charge of kiil- apg iiscock, and said that Williams bad teen ac- tnated by revenge in endeavoring to fasten the crnne upon him. Constabie Favillo, however, as soon as he had seen him safely immured in the Pfi-on, returned to Pleasanton and went to Ama- dor’s cadin im search of such property a8 was Known to have been in k's possession at ihe time of his death, At tae door be was met by a Chinamaa Amador’s employ- ment. When asked whetber there were any guns pon the premises he denied, evidently in good daitb, that tere were. Nevertheless, Faville made the search, the resuit of which was that he found, du a sma@.i closet, ibe rile of the murdered man, and Doeniod & pile of crowbars (which, by the way, had deen stolen trom we railroad), he found the fowling- piece. this lume no one seems to have enter- aimed any doubt as to Auador’s guilt. ANOTHER TALK, When, be icarned of the discovery that had been @ade he gave another version of the killing. ue le that be liad met Hiscock 1p the manner de- bed by Williams, but rgid that he had met him while he (Amadar) (ie Se some horses through the chaparral.

Amador said tbat ln the course of the quarrel Hiscock mae 3 motion as though he were avout to cock nis rifle, upon which, an Bel.-defence, the fatai shot was fired. When the Grand Jury met an indiciuyent for mur- der in the first degree was iound against Amador, @nd on July 20 he had ms trial. The evidence, entirely circumstantial, embraced ‘the points which we have set forth above. Tue jury, after peing out thirty miautes, brought in @ verdict of guilty, as charged in the indictment, and the oe fixed the 2xi day of July as the day for sen- | nee, ‘The prisoner appeared before the Court on the ap- ormted dav, paie trom imprisooment, but unagi- jaied. Amul tue decpest silence the Judge said:— | “Ramon Amador, stand up !”” The prisoner arose to his feet, when the Judge ad- him as toliows:— ** You have been indicted by the Grand Jury of the county for the murder of Henry Hiscock. To that tudictment you pleaded not guilty. You have been tried by a jury of your owi selection, aud found ey, of murder in tue frst uegree. Have you aay- ng to Say Why judzment of the law should not be pronounced against your? The pl r uctered a scarcely andible ‘No,’ anda the Judge pronounced the senience. Amador was afterwards, aud, from our study of his ‘ace at the tle, We may describe him as [ol fows:—A sirongiy-buuit, well-formed, exceedingly Moscular Man, in height five feet seveu inches, ‘weighing at least one hundred and seventy pound He had jet black hair and full beard, sullen, shif' dafk brown eyes, a contracted, furrowed forehead, a ‘thick, sensual mouth, and a nose that denoted great ‘weakness oi character. The sullenness, bratulty, ferocity, and, at she same time, Weakuess of bis ‘ace, made up a4 inost repulsive picture, framed in that trap door, lighted up by the waving flame of the coal cll lamp, and agamsta biack background. A ! conversation ensued, the questions being Dut some- ames by one reporter, sometimeg vy another.

He seemed incapable of saying more than he had already said, aud repeated him- self over and over again. When questioned about HIS HOPES FOR THE FUTURE, he said, “I’m going to hell, I guess.” ‘Of the Bible and the hopes held out in it, he said, “Well, if che Bible is no More true than the newspapers, I no be- lieve it.” He seemed particularly hurt at @ state- ment made by a morning contemporary. who pro- tended to have had a reporter at the prison on the previous day, that he (Amador) had had @ mug of beer and was playing cards, The reporters at length left him. He passed the night alone, save what words might be addressed to niin by HIS COMPANIONS IN PRISON, who were as follows:—The cell adjoining Amador'’s on the left was occupied by one Dorsey, who ig awaliing trial on an indictment for tbemurder of a man named Donahue at the Mission of SanJosé, It is aileged that Donahue was shot by Dorsey while playing caras with some friends, and it 1s said that the killing was a cowardly assassination. In the cel! on the rigat hand was a Spaniard named Ruis, who shot a man at Pleasanton, was a fugitive from Justice for two years and was finally arrested in Los eles, 1] seemed much depressed. Dorsey, especially, appeared to feel that he might have to undergo the Same ordeal himself, and looked scarcely less_mise- Table than the condemned man, Ruts frequently wept bitterly, but every now and then addressed an encouraging word ortwo in Spanish to Amador. Eariy on THE FATAL MORNING the Cai reporter visited the prison to hear how the condemned man had passed the night sand learn whetner he was in a vetter frame of mind. lt was found that he had passed the night quietly. At day- break he had risen, had washed as usual, and put ‘on the clean clothes which bad been him. Between eight and nine o'clock Father Nagent visited him and cemaived with him for nearly two hours, When the Reverend Father came out of the cell he was asked in what frame of mind Amador was. He replied that Amador seemed to be more at ease tn his mind; had expressed himself as at peace witi all mankind and ned to his late. “But, added the priest, with a sigh, “it is almost impossible to tell,” after walking up and dow» the corridor for a few minutes, apparently in silent prayer, Father Nugent retired for a time, THE LAST PREPARATIONS were being rapidly made now. New pintoning Straps had been made and had veen tried upon one of the oficers, Captain Tarbeit, of the Oakland nd others having arrived & consuitation Wi y It had been intended that a half-inch cord should be used for the execution, but as Aina. dor was a heavy wan it was thought safer to use a sironger rope, and one of an inch diameter was procured and hung in its placeupon the beam, The small yard or enclusure was carefully raked over and made tolook as Udy as possivle, ana of the large crowd which thvonged the corridor of the Court House foriy-two were admitted to witness the execution. HIS LAST WORDS, After Father Nugent had retired the representa- tives of the Cal! and Auliecin advanced tothe cell door, a3 Amador appeared anxious Ww speak to some one. He said:— “They are going to hang me just like a dog.’? ReporTer—Have courage. Yotsuid you would behave like a man, You are going to behave lke a man, arn't you i"? AMADOR—Yes; I'l! go out Ikea soldter, But that other feliow—he got rich friends. They didn’t hang him, They sent hiin to the State Prison—saved Lis lie, anyhow.

They don't respect the aunige oF anybody, lneversce such Courts as you ot here, ne glass of wine was here handed to the prisoner and he draak it at once, saying. “Weil, gentiemen, HERE'S LUCK! After a few minutes he expressed a wish. to have something toeat, This was at six minutes past ten o'clock, The execuiton was to take place at eleven ociock. The Jaiior asked him what he would have. “Oh, anything,” was the reply. Ruis called out to him in Spanisno (weeping at the same time), to have ham and egas. Tie prisoner said yes, be Would Mave that, and ‘‘a cup of tea, for the last time, pee In a very short time two frled eggs, some am, four slices of ary bread and 4 pot of tea, were brought in ana given to him. He ate nearly all of this repasi, talking rapidly at intervals, He expressed a wish to see Mr. Faville, the De- puty Sheriff, who nad arresied bim. He said he wanted a iclegram sent to pay some dgpt that he owed, The name of the creditor our reporter did notcatch, He then went on to say:— “I want you to say to all my friends that came here that 1 am sorry for what J said; I taxe tt all back— every worl. I want you, Mr. Faville, to excuse me for anything 1 have done to you or said; I take it all back.” Mr. FAVILLE—Oh, you have always behaved splendid to me. I haveno fault to find wita you.

AMADOR—His name is Antonio Amador. 1 don't care, He has sons; perhaps iney wiil come to a bad ena, too, May be they willdie, i have company without him, anyhow, The prisoner Lere broke Of again Into almost in- coherent statements, which were tniended to ex- plain away 013 gulit as to the murder. He said:—‘You see, by God, if I went to kill’that man J could run away. 1 went to give the guns up, i did not want to kill him. 1am a gentieman; I stay 6t home.

Mr. FaviLLe questioned him as to another shoot- ing affair in which he was supposed to have been eugaged, but Amador donied any complicity in it, and ain repeated the version of the killing, in Which he would have it that he killed Hiscock dur- inga quarrel about a horse, He broke off py say- ing, “Now, dy God, if I am the big desperado Morse Says I al time I liked’?

Heavily he ascended the scaffolu, ana when he reached the piatform he was seated there ia a cane-Lottomed chair. ON THE SCAFFOLD, His eyes seemed almost too heavy to remain open, They opened and shut languidly, his head seemed to get heavier; faint and sick he sat there while the death watrant was read to him in the usual legal form, until, when the reading had been complete, his head nearly touched hus knees, Many of the Seoeee seemed deeply moved.

An Ex-Ofiicer of the Rebel Army Shot by an Ex-OMicer of the Union Army. {From the Knoxville (Tenn.) Herald, Sept. 23.) One of the most aeplorable affrays that ever took place in Knoxville happened last evening, General James H, Vlanton, one of the best lawyers and most popular men of Alabamg, was shot and instantly killed by Colonel LD. M. Nelson, of Cleveland, Tenn, General Clanton was attending upon the United States Court to guard the interest of Alabama in the A. and ou. R.

As soon as Ife was ascertained to be extinct the body was removed to the reading room of the Lamar House, and Mr. J. P. Ally, Acting Coroner, summoned tne jury. After the jury were sworn Mr, Tomlinson Fort, being sworn, stated to the jury that about ten or fifteen minutes before six o’clock P. M. he was standing at the corner of Gay and Cumberland streets, having Just come out of Fifer’s saloon. He had just met Colonel D, M. Nelson and was Walking arm in arm with him, being an oid friena, when lie saw General Clanton with a dark-whiskere gentieman (Colonel A. S. Prosser), on the other side of the street, Thev crossed ove! id met them and he introduced General Clanton to Nelson with the remark that Nelson had fought ‘us” (Fort was in the Coniederate army and Clanton also), but had been very liberal and honorable towards his late enemies, Colonei Nelson or General Clanton pro- posed to go and take a drink. Colonel Fort thinks Colonel Nelson made the proposition, As they walked along the talk turned In some way on amuse- ments, and Colonel Nelson remarked that he could show Clanton something good if he was not afraid. General Clanton said, “Do you think I’m afraid?” Colonel Neison said, “1 don’t know whether you are or not.” The same remarks were repeated several tim Neison apparently becoming.excited, put Gener: Clanton was cool, Fort put his hand on Neigon’s shoulder, who was under the influence of liquor, and sald, ‘Keep cool, Dave. You are in the wrong. ‘There 13 no use m fignting.” At length as Neison repeated, “! don’t know wee youare afraid or not,” General Clanton said:— “Well, if you think I'm afraid just try me. Name Yoar friend, Ume, place aNd distance, any time or ce, lace.” toner Nelson sald this was as good a time and Place as any. General Cianton then said, “Fort, step of the ground for your triead.’” Colonel Fort refused tv do 80, as both were friends, and there was no cause for a quarrel. Wille he was talking with Geaerat Clanton Col- onel Nelson had gone into Etficr’s saloon, and as he ‘Was urging Clanton to go oif, as Neison was drunk, Fort heara the dvor of tne St. Nicholas open. He looked and saw Colonel Nelson with a double- barreilea gun coming out. He thougnt that Nelson fired the first stiot, and ashe fired Clanton levelled hts pistol, cocked it and fired. Nelson at once fired ain, and after the shot General Cianton fell for- ‘d, doubling himselt up on his hands and face, He did not Know what me of Nelson after the fatal shot was fired. Colonel Fort stated that during all the conversa- tion General Clanton held his hands on his coat col- Jar, while Nelson kept his hands in his kets, Juage C. F. Jrige, belng sworn, sta! that he tad just jaid down in his room, No. 10, in the Lamar House, and heard loud talk on Cumberlana street, and got up and looked out of the window and saw Clanton aud Fort standing in the street, Clanton said to Fort, “He told me to take my position.’ Very soon Nelson came out of Eifier’s with a double- barrel gun in his hands, and rested the gun against vhe right side of @ post and fired at Clanton, who had no weapon in his hands at the time. Svon ater Clanton drew 4 pistol and fired. Neisonthen fired again at Clanton, who stood quartering to Nelson. ‘Drs. W, F. Green, from Greeneville, and J.

The jury consulted afew minutes, and adjournea to meet this morning at nine o'clock, When they will render their verdict. It 1s but justice to Mr. Eifler to state that the ‘weapon was pot obiatned in his house, but trom some of the houses in Gay street, to whose back doors access can be hart from his back door. We learn that Colonel Neison, immediately atter the fatal shot, procured a horse and fied across the country. ‘Tne jast heard from nim wasat eleven o'clock last night.

WAL. STREET, } SUNDAY, Ock 1, 1871. Affairs the past week in commercial and financial circles were more quiet. ‘THE MONEY MARKET has been spasmodic and irregular, with some re- markable changes in the supply. The banks have been pursuing a policy of steadily withdrawing funds employed among the stock houses, and from the numerous applications made for mercantile dis- counts it was thought they nag eee changed the form of collaterals, 6 pank statement shows, howgyer, fas they aye not agcommodated the merchants to the samé extent they have tetirea money from Wall street, The Treasury operations contributed temporarily to the easier situation of the market, and the rate on call Anctuatea between the nominal figures of 2 a 3 per cent and active 7 per cent, closing Saturday at? bid strongly. Prime commercial paper was dull at seven per cent discount. Foreign exchange was lower, but toward the close became steadier, on the basis of 108% for prime bankers’ sixty day sterling and 109% for sight, As may be noticed, there is now a difference Of seven-eights per cent between sixty day and sight bills—a reflection of the street rate for money im London, which is higher than the bank rate, on which the original difference of three-quarters per cent was founded. THE TREASURY PROGRAMME FOR OCTOBER. The following will be the course of Treasury oner- ations for the month of Uctober, provided the Syn- dicate and money changers do not again prevail on Mr. Boutwell to make his programme a farce:— BOND PURCHASES, Wednesday, October 4. Wednesday, October 11.... Wednesday, October i8....+ Wednesuay, October 25... Total.....0+ sesreeressceeeresesees $8;000,000 GOLD SALES, Thursday, ctoher 5.. Thursday, October 12, Thursday, October 19. Thursday, October 26, . TOtAl..cec.ccsereceersessceserescssesses $8,000,000 THE GOLD MABKET, The gol@ market was.weak at the beginning and fell off to 114% in anticipation of an extra sale on Thursday, but the advance of the Bank of England rate on that date and the restriction oi thc gold sale to the amount advertised occasioned a return to 115, tho figure of the earliest sales on Monday. On Saturday the loan market was squeezed and bor- rowers compelled to pay as high as 5-64 per diem for gold during the two days to Monday. THE STOCK MARKET | ‘was dull and without feature of consequence until toward the end of the week, when a better feel- ing was produced by anticlpations of a favor- able Treasury policy during October and by hopes of a better bank statement than was maae. Indeed, the disappointment felt when the latter was published checked the growing activity of business and turned the market sharply downward late on Saturday. Government bonds were in the main strong; for while the foreign quotation has been rather lower, as a result of the more active demand for monev in Europe generally, the domestic quotations have been strengthened by the firmness of the gold pre- mium. THE BANK STATEMENT. The weekly statement of the associated banks proved favorable, owlug to @ contraction of loans, which ia reflected in @ corresponding decrease in deposits, Tne diminution in liabilities has there- fore enabled the banks to get on @ surer footing as regards their reserve, which is now about $3,800,000 in excess of the legal requirement—a small amount of itself, but showing the conservative tendency of the banks after the warning of the previous week. Indeed, without the comparison afforaed by the last statement, the present statement would be regarded as ex- tremely unfavorable; for, with all the efforts made at mending their reserve, the banks have never been #0 poorly off as during the past two weeks. Were it not for the prospect that the natural activity of money at this season will be greatly abated this year, a surplus reserve of only $3,800,000 would but slimy fortify them against contingencies, The real gain in reserve is less than half a million dol- lars, being the difference between a gain of three and a half millions in specie and a loss of three millions in legal tenders, As the government sold only two militons of goid during the week, che gain im specie represents in part the extra sale towara the close of the previous week. On the other hand, as the government equalized these operations by extra purchases of bonds the foss in legal tenders does not fully exhibit the outflow of greenbacks to the interior. The statement contrasts with its pre- decessor as follows:— Sep’. 23. Sept, 30. + $809, 164, 700 $03,366,100 9,572,100 18,120,200 30,201,200 253,800 237,127,400 ) 65,428, 272,500 ‘The changes since last week are In detail. as fot lows:— Decrease in loans. ++ $7,808,690 Tucrease in specie. 3,553,200 Increase in circulation. 62,600 Decrease in deposits.. 8,989,400 Decrease in legal tenders . 3,156,000 An analysis of the above figures shows that the surplus reserve has been increased by the addition of $2,626,400, and now stands at $3,804,650.
