Pbnnsylvnnia and the Fugitive-Slave | The Southern States have really no. cause I to: complain of the conduct .of Pennsylvania In reference to the onforeeuient Of that .provi sion of tbo Constitution which relates to the rendition of fugitives from justlce and labor. The remaining section! of tbe act of 1847- now so much discussed—were regarded in 1851-52 by all conservative men as harmless, and the Tepeal of the sixth section of the act ol 1847—which denied the use of our jails to thfe officers of the Federal. Government under -the amendatory act of Congress of 1850, a part of the "Compromise measures—was ac cepted aa satisfactory by the Southern people. James Buchanan was the leader of the De mocratic .party of Pennsylvania in 1861. He had been living in retirement at Wheatland for several years. . Having completed his term of Secretary of State under the Administration of, President Polk, on the 4th of March, 1849, he was' looking forward to' the Democratic nomination for President in 1852, in the hope that the dream ol his life was on the eve of a brilliant fulfilment; bat to effect this object the Southern Democracy must be propitiated. He was among the first to move in favor of the repeal of the offensive sixth section of tbe act of 1847. Col. Bigler having supported that' act daring the'WUmot Proviso excite ment as a State Senator in 1847, and being In 1851 the Democratic candidate for Go vernor, Jahis Buchanan (then his enemy, now his friend) insisted, as a sine qua non, that Col. Bigler should take ground in favor of the repeal of the offensive Bection of that law, to which Col. B. assented. The writer of this article was, at the time, tbe editor of the acknowledged organ of the Democratic party of Pennsylvania. Always devotedly. attached to Southern institutions, and to Southern interpretations of the Con stitution of the United States, he repeated Mr. Buchanan's views in the columns of his journal. He -was a delegate, from Philadel phia, at the Reading Democratic Convention of June, 1861, which nominated Col. Bigler for Governor, by a unanimous vote, and parti cipated with some activity in the succeeding campaign. After the election, Col. Bigler acted in good faith to his pledge, and cor dially repented of his vote In favor of the act of 1847, by aiding in tbe repeal of the sixth section, and by signing the bill which repealed it. The Democratic Convention which placed Governor Bigler in nomination, on the 4th of Jane, 1851, adopted the following resolu tion : Resolved, That the sixth section of the act of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, passed on the 3d of March, 1847, dsnying under severe penalty the nse of our State jails for tbe detention of fugi tive 'sieves while awaiting their trial, ought to be expunged from our itfttute-books, both beeause It interposes obstaolei by means of State legislation to the execution of the provisions of the Constitu tion of the United States, and because it is a vir tual disregard of tbe principles ofthe Compromise, and is calculated seriously to endenger tho exist ence of the Union: It shows that the sixth section of the act of 1847 was the only one regarded as offensive to the South at that time.' The then leading organ of the Democracy, the Pennsylvanian, of June 20th of the same year, referring to the above resolution, said: sc The resolution taking this ground in the Democratic Convehtion was passed with bnt oa«dissenting voice. It is tbe opinion of the Democratic party of the State almost without objection. It is the opinion of a vast ma jority of the Whig party.” The Democratic Convention which assem bled at Harrisburg, on the 4th of March, 1852, and nominated James Buchanan for the Presidency, repeated the resolution of the Reading Convehtion in the following terms: Resolved, That the Democracy of Pennsylvania will , maintain with fidelity and energy tbe exe cution of tbo fagitive-ilivo law; and that we pledge onreeive! to'exert onr but efforts to seoure tbe speedy repeal ofstfoh portions of tbe “Btate obetrnotionlaw” as deny tbe nee of onr jails for the detention of fugitives from labor, while awaiting their trial, or in any otter manner interfering with the eoneUtatlonal rights of oltieens of onr sister States in reclaiming their property. We mention these facts to show that those whs complain ofthe present position of Penn sylvania in regard to the fugitive-slave law have no reason for their complaints. After the death of Hr. Gobsuoh, at Christiana, Lancaster county, who went there for the pur pose of recovering his fugitive slave, the ex- any demand made upon ns by the South would - have been favorably responded to. The repeal of the objectionable portion ofthe State law was nndoxbtedly In accordance with Southern .expectation. . It, does not lie, therefore, in the ; mouths of any of those who applauded our' Legislature, particularly on tie part of that new friends of the old President, to hold up! the act of 1847 as an evidence that the Keyi stone State is opposed to the institutions o< the Sonth. Tax Douglas Democrats of Maryland are a plucky and independent set. They have just issued an address in which they assert tho fol lowing unpleasant truths. In the five border States 'of the South—Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri,'Delaware, and Mary land—the conser vative Union vote cast for Douglas and Bell together exceeds the Tote for BaiCKisuniaE 136,000, or more than two to one, and will be still further increased by the full returns. While Breckinridge hag carried bnt three Southern States, by a majority of votes so small as to deny the popularity of the princi ple he represents, even at the extreme South; on the other hand, Douglas has received in many Southern cities and towns, where the Democracy has not hitherto prevailed, large majorities over the candidate of the Seceders. Tax oorbkspoxdest who discusses the pro bable policy of England towards the conti nent, on onr. first page, sending ns the article, remarks; by way of explanation: “ Tho mail sometimes provokes me by an irregular deli very of Tax Paxss. I did not receive your paper of the 9th, containing your own specu lations upon English policy, until I had com pleted the articled enclose, or I should have put it in the form of a formal response to your concluding inquiry, * Shall England be on tho side of Liberty, or against it ?’ I am some what mor# hopeful than Tax Press appears to be?” Commodore Beset, of the steamship Co lumbia, tunning between New York and Charleston, has received the compliment of a public dinner because he raised the colors of South Carolina at the mast-head of his ship In the port of New York. The Commodore steamed out of Charleston on Saturday, the 19th inst., with the Palmetto flag at his mast head, and when off Governor’s Island canned the stars and stripes to be removed from the stern color staff of his vessel, and substituted a new piece of bunting showing fifteen while stare upon a vermilion ground. Commodore Bxxbt deserves the thanks of the enemies of his country. Robert Baxrwxll Bhitt, who disappeared from the Senate of the United States because the South submitted to the admission of Cali fornia into tho Union, in 1850, came forth in all his glory before the people ol Charleston, ob the 12th of November, and relieved himself of a characteristic harangue. We print, on onr first page, the last column of the speech of this great leader of the Disunionists of the South. ' Among the most active agents in stimulating the elements of revolution in the South are those who are anxious to establish medical colleges at New Orleans, Charleston, and Bichmond. It is stated, on the other hand, that notwithstanding the attempts to effect non-Intercourse between the North and tho South, everyday adds to the nnmber of scho lars at the different female seminaries in the free States. These two lacts are suggestive. Wx print an important editorial, from Jons Fobbyth’s Mobile Register, of a recent date. Forsyth Is a Douglas, and was a Union man, and we believe he will continue to he found true to the last. It is disheartening to see an editor, fearless as Forsyth Is, compelled to yield to a local fanaticism. We had hoped better things from Mobile. The artioli in a Springfield (111.) journal, of a late date; In which that paper (supposed to be speaking for Hr. Lwooln) intimates the determination of the President elect to preserve the Union at all hazards—should an overt act be committed—has created much angry comment on the part of the extreme Southern men. Tm Breckinridge papers in the free States are the echoes of the disunion sentiment in the slave States. .They repeat ail the ex cesses-of the Charleston Mercury, all the thapsbdlei. of. Tooatßs, and all the threats of Colonel Yasoxt—and. call these Southern opinion 1 It is supremo folly for Administration papers to attack Hannibal Hamlin, tho newly elected Vice Prosidontof the United States. Wo perceivo that even Mr. Yancey has de scended to the point of saying that Mr, Ham lin is a mulatto. Mr. Yanoey and the Ad ministration papers should remember that Mr. Hamlin never was called a mulatto ‘ until he became a Republican. Onr own knowledge and estimate of tho man is that he is an up right, fearless, and conscientious statesman. Ho conld never have won his way in the Democratic party first, and in the Republican party second, without being a person of very considerable abilities. .... We no NOT wonder at extreme's in polities in this country. The Secessionists in the South revile tbe Republicans In the North, and crimination is answered by recrimina tion. The people preaoh for tho Union, and the South Carolina politicians repudiate it. Tho Governor of Virginia de mands moderate action, and the Governor oi South Carolina insists npon immediate action, Bnt beneath oil these tempestuous waves of attack and retort, there is a calm and irresistible ocean of lovo for the Union. We are, therefore, not surprised that even the Richmond Enquirer, of the 22d of No vember, should say that ‘'disunion is unde, sired, and against every wish of tho people of Virginia.” Me. Buchanan’s obqan, the Washington Constitution, of Saturday, is not satisfied for tho Northern States ,to consent to the repeal of the personal-liberty acts. “To be practi cally important,” says tho Constitution, “ this repeal mnst be followed by immediate mea sures of a protective character, which experi ence has shown to be desirable In any circum stances,” and they “ must he in the shape of amendments to tho Constitution, giving to the South additional guarantees,” &c. Can it be that Mr. Buchanan permitß the British editor of tho Constitution to foreshadow thoso as his opinions?,' The Colombia (Sonth Carolina) Guardian, of the 21st fast.; says: “There have been sundry paragraphs going tho rounds of tho papers, about a meeting of lawyers, said to have beonheld fa this city, at which tho mem bers of the profession had agreed not to re ceive notes from tho North against our oiti zens for collection. • No such meeting has been held; repudiation oi just debts, or tho placing of any unnecessary obstacle in the way of thoir collection, is not thought of by either our banking institutions or any class of our citizens.” Tho utter selfishness of secession and tho deliberate cruelty of the Disunion leaders are proved by the language of the flre-oators fa regard to the border slave States. Thoy speak o t the latter with as much contempt and bitterness as of tho Republicans. What sort of a Southern Confederacy would that be captained by South Carolina and counselled by Alabama and Mississippi, with Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and other conservative Southern States compelled to follow, like so many captives fa their chains ? A correspondent in' tho Charleston News suggests tho somewhat novel idea, that ifthe Representatives and Senators from a single State should absent themselves from the Con gress of the United States, therefore tho acts of that body would not he binding upon such oilending Commonwealth. Do not these wise acres recolloct the theory upon which they at tempted to justify tho Lecompton Constitu tion, viz : that all thoso who refused to vote at an election were bound by thoso who had voted ? Tns Germantown Telegraph is ono of the model weekly papers of this country. It is conducted by a gentleman who dares to speak Us own opinions, and who seems to have no other ambition but to print a first clasß journal, to deal fairly by all men, and to promote the substantial interests of his State and country. Major Freab is one of tha few men who can afford to laugh at the strifes of parties, and the Aspirations of party leaders. We arc happy to -see Hamilton, tho able editor of tho Camden (N. J.)

Sm: A nnmber of young men, nnoonneoted, at this time, with any organization, bat earnestly desironaof devoting themselves to tho work of era dicating slavery In the United States, 7eBpeotfnlly invite you to meet them in a pnbllo Convention, to be bold at Tremont Temple in this otty on Monday, tho 3d of December next, and there address them in roply to the question so vital to tho Interests and the honor of our country and the progressof free dom in the world: “ How can American shivery e abolished ?” It sooms to them that tho anniversary of the death of John Brown, who, on tho 3d ef December, 1859, was killed for attempting to dooide this pro blem In the mode that ho believed to bo tho most efficient, is an oooasion peculiarly appropriate for tho dlsousslon of our duty to the raoo for whom ho suffered, and more especially for the unfolding of praotloal methods for achieving tho holy object he desired to attain by his descent on Harper's Ferry, Virginia. Ah Invitation, therefore, will bo extended to tho leaders and representatives of all the different anti-slavery bodies, and to various men of emi nence who have done honor to their own souls by advocating tho oause of Impartial freedom. Every one, thus invited, is expected, in his speeohes or letters, to oonflno himself exclusively te the great question of the day, for it would bo a work of supererogation, now, to dofend John Brown, and n useless waste of time to eulogize him. Leaving both of these duties to tho coming ages, let ns seek to continue his lifo by striving to accom plish what ho loft ns to finish.

The oast is good. Thia change of the opera (whloh was to have bees “ Lee Vepres Sicili«i*jj”) was compulsory, owing to tho sever© indisposition of Brignoli, as certified by Dr. Goddard in the ad* vertiaement, and the assooiated artists have shown a good managerial beginning by notifying the pub lic of the faot at onoe instead of keeping it to them pelves until the doors, were opened, (as, been pre viously the oustom,) when these whooame'tohear a specific opera, were oompelled to return home again or listen .to one they did not antici pate or desire. The. association has also is sued. a card, to whioh the attention of the pub lic) is requested. . There has been no flourish of trumpets preceding those performances, lnduces ns to think that tho management wishes to do rather than promise. Tillman and Btrakosoh commenced with immense promise, and their last coup d'itat , on the Prince’s night, was to pooket the proceeds, break faith with the pub* lie. and leave hundreds upon hundreds of dollars unpaid here. ' If either of them should venture here again, their reoeption will be memorable. , At Aroh-stroet Theatre, this evening, Mr. Wheat ley takes his benefit, which ought to be, and will be, a tremendously crammed affair. The per formances will be Morton’s comedy of u Town and Countrymuslo and danolng, including tho Chinese danac in “ Aladdin,” and tho immortal, as well as eccentric oomody, “The Serious Faml-, ly.” Considering the condition of tho Arch-street Theatre when Mr. Wheatley entered upon its management, and tho enterprising spirit and wise tact whloh have enabled him to make it ono ofthe best-conduoted and most sucoessful establishments in the Union, it will be admitted that if any one merits s substantial acknowledgment, in form of a Benefit, it is this admirable actor and judicious managor. Mrs. John Drew, the best stock Rotress, not in this olty alone, bnt in the whole oountry, also be comes a benefioialre on Wednesday evening, play ing Rosalind, in “As You Like It.” The melo drama of “ Wall&oe, the Hero of Scotland,”.will also he played. At Walnut-street Theatre, the fair debutante' Miss Isabelle Freeman, closed her engagement (of tho theatre itself) by playing Lucrezia Borgia. This lady, a mero novice, with pretty faoe and youth, and such a large quantity of self-possession that wo might givo it another'and less ploasant name, is an illustration of How to make a Star. She performed a fow nights at Boston, to whioh oity she belongs, and came to Philadelphia with a few nowspapor-notices as her testimonials. Of course, no management would run tho risk Of en gaging her, whereupon, as we are informed, she leased the theatre and company for a week. Un fortunately, with the exception of Silliest Cobber, whose praise came all toe late, no newspaper writer was ablo to pass a favorable opinion upon her. The ocoasional paragraphs whioh did praise her, were those wiitton in the hox-offioe of tho theatre—paragraphs whioh tho good nature of some of our ootemporaries publishes daily, but whioh The Press has always refused, exoept the word “Advertisement” be prefixed to, eaoh. The free and easy utterance of these puffs,—suoh as “Lot Mies Freeman have a bumper at parting distinguishes them from tbo regular oritioisms of the newspapers.

Let Miss Frecmaq devote a few years to hard study and pr&otiee of her profession, in some oountry theatre, and perhaps she may be come a respeotable aotress. Editing and acting are two things whloh many believe oan be successfully performed at the first effort:—bat a few trials show the difference. Mr/Edwm Adams, of W&lnut-streetT heatre, haß his boneflt this evening. He has exhibited suoh decided proofs of endeavoring to beoome a first rate aotor, that we have no doubt he will achieve that result. He has got rid of a certain diffidence of manner, whioh embarrassed him at first, and has gained sufficient self-oonQdenoe. We regret to notioe that he has not yet corrected tho faults of pronunciation which wo notioed on his first per formance?. He still prolongs the final sound of words ending in as if there .were half a dozen of these letters following the word, and ho retains a cer.taiu lounging way of speaking whloh is not natural nor .pleasant. For exsmple, be would give the words “ the course of true love never yet ran smooth,” in this manner—the “ a-conne of-a it-rue love a-never a yet a-ran a-emootha.” Also, he has the stagey mannor of dealing with the word my, which he calls malt. Thus, instead of saying “myhat,” ho always says “mahati” Mr. Adams,who has so much improved here that his, made the success of.“ The Dead Heart,” can cor rect these faults, and we think that be will, for he evidently is a careful, studious young man, deter pained to rise in his profession. For his benefit, this evening, whloh will bo well attended we are sure, be will play in the comedy of “Dreams o'? Delusion,” the farce of “Too Maoh fdt'Gbod jSfiK tare,” (both played hr the first time ip this and the melo-drama of “ The Dream of Sea.” At, the Olympic Theatre (Raoo, below Third), Mr. McDonough brings out “ Ro>B6y,” this even ing, himself as the gallant Boot; and Miss Mitchell SB Helen MacGregor.

CORRESPONDENCE, Letter from Occasional.” [Correspondence ot The Preae.l Several weeks ego I predicted that President Buchanan would take strong Union ground, either in a speoial proclamation, or in his regular mes ssge. On Thursday last it was generally under stood that his annual message was completed, and, up to Friday, little doubt was entertained that he intended, substantially, to aßsame the position taken by General Jackson in his celebrated procla mation of December, 1832. There may bo altera tions, and X look for them, beo&use the O. P. F. is exceedingly unwilling that his relations with Messrs. Thompson and Cobb, who aro the known advooates of sooesslen and resistance,' should be disturbed. He wishes to preserve his Cabinet intact for the three monthß that remain of hiß official existonoe. The point ppon which the President will probably bo silent, will bo that of cooroing & Booeding State back into tbe Union. If his argument is strong and logloal against the right of secession itself, it will then dopend upon those who ohoose to go out whether they will pat themaslyes in an attitude to interfere with the collection of tho revenues, or open ports. - The friends of Mr. Snohanan argne thatf he can do nothing without power, andcontond that the responsibility will boon Congress whether a State will be permitted to revolt, and If revolting, whether she oan bo foroed to submit to tho law she has violated, and to tho Go&federaoy she has sorted. Tbe intention of the Southern States is undoubtedly to remain in Congress until praotioaf secession takes place, when, of course, the [Repre sentatives of suoh seceding States will at onoe retire. Mr. Crittendon, who reaohed hero on Saturday,; speaks despondingly of onr politioal future, HU St. Louis prediction that a finnnoi&l collapse would follow Lincoln’s election, has been substantially fulfilled, and be now asserts that nothing can pre vent the secession of several of the Cotton States. Meanwhile,' notwithstanding the apparent unanimij ty of Alabama and Mississippi in favor of in. dependent State action, and the probable elootion of a considerable majority of Pißunionists to the, forthcoming Conventions, there is a large party in these States, intent npon co-operation—that is, intent npon a programme whioh will bring to gether all tho gtatps of the South, bo that they, oan move on aoominon ba?is. Mr. Yancey, and’ Mr. Watts, (a leading Bell man in the late Fieti dontial contest,) have beon nominated at ftontgo mory, Alabama, by a meeting of all parties* and will be ohesen dele gates to tho Disunion Conven tion. The resolutions of tho meeting recommended, realatanoe and secession. Mr. Yanooy himself, in a letter dated on the 15th of November, argues not! only in favor of the right of seoeEsloc, but that. Alabama should not wait for others, bnt go out alone. Information from other parts cf tbe State assuros me that hundreds and thousands will op pose this strong remedy for imaginary evils. The late law partner and oosneotion of Justioo Campbell, of the United States /Su preme Court, Mr. Daniel phendior, at a meet ing hold at Mobile, some twenty da;? ago, attempt ed to stem the torrent raging in that quarter, but was Overwhelmed. In the oonrse of his speech he presented some praotloal considerations, showing tho danger of separate action, and dwelt' with power upon the enormous oest of jnaintaining' an army neoessary to make suoh aotion effective. Ho stated that to keep an army of five thousand men in the field for a single year would oost over two million of dollars—leaving his andlenoe to answer, tho query that must have ocourred to them, “ where is the money to come from?” It is not doubted by those who know Mr. Chandler, that what he said at the Mobile meeting was but $ faiy reflection of the sentiments of Justice Clmpbolit Indeed, it Is a significant fact eviry 'justice' bf tho fjtiprcmo Court of the United.

Of Jaetba Wayne I have rep&dtedlj spoken; and now ;t may be safely asserted that his colleagues sqljsantielly egree with him. Letters from dis ;ste}tshcd~gentlemen b&ni ;iB the South, bub now 3etfjeht in the North, have . Veen addressed to tha Alabama, invoking them to pause before takhg the final and fatal step. The ,Union men of tie South cannot he too heartily sustained. Evwy conservative demonstration on tha part of thefree Stateshslps precisely as evary radioal do mojatratlon hurts them. This truth ought to he bone In mjnd.by the true friends of the RepubHo in 4U parts of the oountry. . , Washington is. Inconceivably dull. I do . not k&ftw of more than three or four members of Cen giess in the city at the present time. Various schemes are suggested for the purpose of tranquilising the public mind; and a National Convention, to be oomposed of delegates from all the States, elected by popular vote, and not by tho State Legislatures, is vigorously pressed by cer tain interests. There are many arguments in fever of and objections to' this suggestion. The friends of the Union ought to deliberate well he* foie they second it. „ Suppose, for. inatanoe, the Soith in a body In such sconvention, under the injaenoe of Messrs. Yanoey, Khett, & 00., Bhould pnent a programme to whloh the North and Npthweat coold not accede. What then? In stad of contemplating the secession of only three orfour Cotton States, as we now do, we might then faaold the withdrawal of all the slave States. It sl»uld be remembered that, while the Union-men of 'he South are resolute and self-saerifiolng, they mi{ht not be able to Btay the tide in favor of disso lution with their own people, or in a National Con vention. An inflammatory speech, on one or the otler side, might end in a bre&oh that could never betVs&lnd. Let our cool,ealm, and patriotic states mat tako no step to be rogrotted. Let them weigh evefy word thoy utter, and especially avoid & ln any of the orude schemes so rifdin these troublous times. jyr. Buchanan Is exceedingly eulogistio of Garl badi in these times. He refreshes himself with Gfiibaldi. He particularly admires Garibaldi’s retiiement to Capri, and looks forward, with his single blue eye, to the sweet and soothing seolurion that awaits him at Wheatland, precisely as if he .weri another Garibaldi. But there is a difference BWwo«n our retiring Executive and the medest Garibaldi will go to his island home after hadng united and' restored -peace and happiness to eigit or nine millions of his oountrymon He goes wlti their blessings npon his head and with the vobe of tbe oivilised world preceding, surrounding, ani following him like the very atmosphere of hoarca. He goes surrendering titles and honors. He j}oea breathing toleration and tranquility. He goes{ with his red shirt and his rough hands and his warm heart, to look out upon the grand work he has| finished, and to see others revelling In the glottis benefits he has showered upon them. Shall I mike the contrast? I forbear, in the hope that J&njes Buchanan will at least make one attempt to briegiogether tbe country he has divided, so that inhb quiet homo, at Wheatland, while reviewing hlsdwn past deeds, he inay find one consolation— viz; that his final act wss the boat he oould do for theltepublio. 11 seems to be almost a poetlo confirmation and apjioval of the late glorious fight of Stephen A. Doqglas in f&vor of the Union, that the authority upen which the friends of the Republlo relied during all his struggle, and fire relying upon now, I? tlat of tho groat ancestor of his beautiful and giftid wife. The opinions of James Madison are, I perceive, daily revived by the honest friends of the Union, everywhere, to show that the right of secession, and therefore of disunion, never was oomemplatcd as belonging to the Btates who aided to fiie formation, and afterwards ratified the Con* stliition of the United States. Thus in oar day au<l generation, Stephen A. Douglas stands doubly by :he Union. First, because of his own platform, andsecondly, beeause ho is now conneotod with the lovely descendant of James Madison—ono of the best and purost men and Presidents this nation over had.

By the kindness of the Sheriff of Philadelphia, we have been permitted to visit the ooU of James Miller, convioted of the murder of Gather, and sentenoed to die. The time for the fulfilment of the sentence is near at hand. The gallows has been inspected by Jaok Ketch and son ; the rope prepared; the spot selected for (hegibbet eight;, tho condemned assured of the fallaoy of hope and the oertainty of death. Prom the heartless cir cumstances of the murder, little sympathy has been expressed for the guilty man. The great oity which received the tidings of hU conviction with silent applause, looks without softening to the coming expiation, and reading in his felon-cell of curses attributed to him whiohhe never spoke, the prisoner feels that his single guilt has shut him out from the world’s regard and built about his prison a wall of hate higher than its granite towers. Since his incarceration, the prisoner’s conduct has been of a satisfactory oharactor. In the in terval of confinement between bis arrest and trial, he grew somewhat unruly, and was punished by a day’s sojourn in tho dark cell; but his subsequent order and seeming ropentance have entitled him to the good wlshos of every prison offioer. His cell is situated in the middle corridor on the second floor. It was the scene of the last daysofSku pinski, Langfeldt, Arthur Spring, and Peter Mad dux. Outwardly it does not differ from adjoining cells, but is muoh stronger. Oh Thursday after noon, at 4 o’clock, we entered Its iron door, ac companied by the sheriff and a deputy. The pri soner’s aunt had just left him, and he bad paued much of the day with Rev. Mr. Perry, his spiritual adviser. Ho was sitting in an old-fashioned rush bottomed chair, bareheaded,’and deprived of coat and vest. His left arm waa leaning on a small ta ble, whero n pie and some delioaoies had been placed—the gifts of friendly but bruised hearts. The coverlet of his bed,-low-and narrow, was smoothed by tho same kindly hands. -The light fell soantily through a strip of stone window, guarded by heavy shutter bunds, through whose ahinks only white shreds of sky looked io, but neither tree, nordwelling, norlmng thing. Three plno stools, with long, lank legs, made by the pri son carpenter, rested in the centre of the oell. The bare, cheerless walls and naked floor were very wan and comfortless. The prisoner seemed, as he sat, not more than five feet five inohes In height. His shoes were ooarse; his pantaloons, worn with out suspenders, wore of a dark-brown materia!, and bis shirt was rumpled usd untidy. Bisfsoo was fall and smooth, his hair dry ana luetrekss. He hBd an eye indicative of oonameraUe shrewd ness, with straight, handsome brows,' and a fore head of fair proportions.. Upon-his whole faoe rested a look of utter hopelessness, whose despair was well adapted to the cheerless cell. It waa a stricken faoo, where fear bad frozen cut the warmth and smile from every lineament. There' was no aspiration, no courage, no about it. It wasa brooding faoe, dull andderk, beside which despair itself was mild. We wer? introduced to the prisoner, who arose and proffered his hand. Then we sat down on the tall stool. For a moment-there was an awkward pause. “ Have you been wanting for anything sinoe my last visit?” said the sheriff, calling him by name. The man looked uneasily at the window behind him, and the light of the sky fell through the ohinks of the blind on hia sad faoe. His tone gave the lie to his reply. “ I have had all that a man oould want In my situation,” said he. He said thfg reluctantly. " I gave order*, Miller, v said the sheriff, “ that all your legitim atq desires should be attended t*”’ “ I thank you, air,” said Miller; “ I have noth ing to ask for.’ Ho looked again, half instinc tively, to the ohinks of light, and settled down upon his hands. “Bave you a step-father?” said the sheriff finally. “ I had at ono time, sir; but don’t knfls whether heisalivoordoad.” Ho had ;a\sed np quickly, “ I was appealed to by a friend of hi 9 for a per mit to your olusing scone.” A sort of tremor ran through the man, though eoaroely perceptible When he had rallied, ho said firmly: “I" should hope, sir, it ia in your power, that you would not grant the pass ’’ “ I certainly shall not do So if you objeot.” “ I wish,” said Miller earnestly, “ to see no on*. None of my friend*, that I oare for, want to oopje; other persons than them I don’t to see.” Then there ensued, tha same awkward pause. Miller looked sleadily at the floor. SomotbfDg wistful seemed lurking In eye: he had $llll, perhaps, an ember of hope. Jf euoh he had, the Sheriff dispelled it. “Well, Miller,” he remarked solomnly, "I sup pose that you havo become resigned to die.” Mil ler’s bead sunk lower—be did .not speak. The sheriff resumed: *« There is no earthly hope for you Only a few days remain between you anfl the grave. Make your peace while you oai\.”- At every word a deeper shadow gathered on the , doomed man’s faoo. If H had b9su cold and sad before, it was now ghastly and terrible. “ I had i»f3 the sheriff, uneasily, “to liavg passed my term of office without an affair of this kind. Tho last year of my term Is reserved for this unpleasant duty.” The sheriff’s faoe exhibited vanity of at tempting to reooncile hU repulsive duty wRh hit convictions pf ijlgbt. !fhe conversation was con ducted ior a time without the prlsoner’j'parHeina tlon. He sat ds a nu in a dream or *trance, gazing fixedly q>QA the flops. Reference was then made te tfl® disgraoefri fabrication rela ys to th© Popdemned man, It had been printed *n o?e of tfee police gaieties. * “How did it got there ?” he bail quickly, u a glanea, of Indignation started upon diii.MMK “ Who put it there V! . . The sheriff atetod that tbe report wee a fabrics* lent ’io 1 bl * 00Hdn0t Lhd ■ beeß>Bmlbnalff ueet “l'hat isn't all them napora has .aid untruly of me. Men i never seen foflowame with Hee.

He is eaid to be a natural son. The old lady is eight,- hve years old. She jogs, up tbe stone steps every d & 7,/l&den with some delieaey for the condemxed. - Diokenß or Balwer never drew a scene so utter- - iy sgonizing as we.witneawd in that cell.- The certaioty that the brawny, healthy man was to” be Strangied on the 7th of Deoember-thi! he was. looking ever Ot the instant that gave horror in'the faoe that it had beoome to him a dream, a sha- ' f “ ‘*>al«poe, darkening his eeU. making night hideous, driving him mid-all this seemed so impalpable and heinous that reason could scarcely credit its reality. There were the limbs that wore to quiver in tho death-agonlee—the eyes that were to start from, their sockets—^the ims that must be pinioned—the neok that was to he broken. If we could eeo thus vividly the terror of the scene, how fearful must have bMa his own as tlcipations?- And yet, with all this, the man Was sano. ~ . , , ' A pie lay on the table—the thought suggested itself of self-murder. Will the guilty so cheat tha 1 vindictiveness of the law? , , As we shook hands with him on going out. he fi tood i.V^~ mBBCU l ar an d motive. We lied throng xne Uttle door, and turned to look through the grate, for the last time.

More than 2,500 men and boys were admitted at that time to witness the expiation, and th* prison wall was orowded with rnffians whosoaledilfrom tha outside with ladders. Aftor the miserable negro had ceased to live, and the mongrel crowd had mattered, about twenty gin bottle* were found in the vicinity of tho gallows.
