Wilkesbabrk, Pa., Nov. 12. This ordinarily quiet borough Is the scene to-day of an unusua f xcitcmcnt, occasionod by thu preparations for tbe execution of an Irishmen, byjthe name of Neal Devauy, for the murder of his wife. THE MURDERER AND HIS VICTIM. In the summer of 18C6, Neal Devnny, then about twenty years of age, and a resident of Con ncmara, county Galway, Ireland, made the acquaintance of a girl of Lla own aco, with whom he fell in love and married. Devany 'a wife had been a servant girl for some time, and had contrived! to save about 11 from her scanty wages. Tea days after the marriage they sailed lor this country, arriving in New York city in the month of September of the same year. Their little fortune was soon exhausted, and then they prepared for a separation, in order the more speedily to repair their fortunes. It was arranged between them that Catharine, the wife, should pass for Devaoy's sister, and engage in service in New York, while tbe husband was to proceed to llazleton, in this State, where he had as uncle and aunt residing, and there seek era plojmtnt. Work was soon found by both, Dcvany obtaining two dollars a day for laboring on a railroad. Before the winter was over, however, DevaDy changed his occupation, be coming a laborer in the Sugar Loaf coal mine, about a mile from Mazleton. ANOTHER WOMAN IN TUB CASE. In the neighborhood of llazleton there re sided an liisb girl, with whom Devauy, who appears to have been rather tickle, forthwith fell in love, and gave a promise of marriage. When his amour had reached this stage, be broke off his correspondence with his wife, who, however, still continued to write to him, impor tuning him for a reply. At length he complied with her request, bidding her to meet him at Easton. Tbtther she proceeded with out delay; but when the long separated couple met. the injured wile insisted on going to Hazleton. To this course Devany Interposed decide! objections: but the wife was determined, and at last reached the home of - her laittilees spouse, wbere she arrived about the Ala oi July last. Hue took: lodgings at a boarding-house kept bv a Mrs. McKelvey, but before going there her husband informed her of tbe state of his aflalrs. He insisted that, as he was soon to marry another woman, her presence might incite some of the girl's relatives to kill him. The wife entreated bim to remain faith ful to his vows, and at last he promised that he would banish all thoughts of his mistress, and live ptacclully and happily with his true wife. TUB MURDER. On the evening of the 24th of July, Devany called at Mrs. McKclvey's. and he and his wile west out together. Nothing .further was seen of ibe latter until ber dead body was discovered by a party who had been searching for her, on the 26th. It was found lying in the woods, about a mile heyoDd the limits or tbe borough. Tbe throat of the murdered woman had been cut from ear to ear, and a pistol shot had pene trated her left breast. AEKEST AND TRIAL OF DBVANT. As soon as Mrs. Devany had disappeared, sus picion rested on her husband, aud ho was arrested but a few minutes before the corpse of his victim was discovered. On his person a two-barrelled pistol was found, one barrel being empty and the other loadpj. Ilia clothes were found at hU boarding-house, satu rated with blood, although an effort had been made to remove these marks of guilt by the use of water. It was further stated by some Germans that they had heard the report of firenrms about 10 o'clock on the even ing ol the 24th, in the vicinity of the place .where the body was dUcovtied, followed by a scream. On the strength of this circumstantial testi mony, Devany was indicted on the 28th of August, and on the 4th of September was olacod on trial before Judge Conyngham. District Attorney Randall conducted the prosecution, the defense being in the hands of Messrs. Ward, Osborne, and Mabon. The trial lasted but two days, and resulted in a verdict of murder in the first degree. FBEFARING FOB DEATH. The feeling of the people here is strongly against the prisoner. Not the least sympathy for his fate has been manifested, and no effort lias been made to induce the Governor to defer the execution, which will take place this after noon abont 1 o'clock.

He says that after he shot his wlie in the breast, Bhe would have escaped had he not immediately grappled her and cut her throat. He maintains that he alone com mitted the deed. He assigns the causo of the crime to have beeu tbe keeping of company with other women.

BECOKSTRUOTIQK. ALABAMA. The IHeon struct lo Convention Re port! of the Committee on the Elective Franchise All ! be Disfranchised who Refuse to Vote Rnles for Common Carriers. Montgomery, Nov. 11. To-day the Conven tion has entered seriously into the discnss'.on of the main question tor its decision. ihe Com mittee on the Elective Franchise, unable to agree, have presented both a majority and a minority report. As was expected, the majority have recommended a sweeping measure of dis franchisement. The leport they have prcscuted consists of three sections. The first provides that every male citizen twenty-one years of age, who shall be a citizen of tbe United, or declared his Intention of becoming such, who shall have resided in the State six and In the county three months preceding an election, shall be doemed an elector. It provides, however, that no sol dier, sailor, or marine in the United States ser vice shall acquire a residence by being stationed In the State. The fecond section provides for the registra tion of all persons elected except the following three classes: First, those who, during the late Rebellion, In any way violated the rules of civi lized warfare; second, those who have beeu con victed of treason, embezzlement of public funds, mallcasance in office, crime punishable by law with iraprionment in the penitentiary, or bribery; third, those who, having been regis tered in accordance with the provisions of the Reconstruction act of Congress, refuse to vote either for or against the new constitution when it shall be submitted for ratiacation; provided, however, that no person shall be disfranchised by this clause whose failure to vote shall be in consequence of sickness, necessary absence, or any providential occurrence rendering it im possible for him to reach the polls; and pro vided further, that the General Assembly snail have authority to remove the disability incurred under this act. The third section provides that all persons, before registering, must take the following oath: "T iln finlpmnlv swear or affirm that I will support and maintain the Constitution aud laws or the United btates and ihe Coohlltutiou and lawn of the ritate of Alubama; that It I have ever believed In the r li? tit ol a State to secede I hereby abandon It; that I accept tho civil aud polit cat equrlltv ol all men, and agree not to attempt to deprive any pereon or petrous on account ol race, color, or previous condition, of any political or civil rlijht, privilege, or Immunity eujoyed by any other class nl men; aud furthermore that I will not In any way Injure or countenunce In others any attempt to Injure any person or persons on account of pastor prettenl support of the Government of the Uuited fctates, the policy of the Congress ot the United States, or the principle of the political and civil equality of all men or affiliation with any political party." The minority report, while it recommends umver&al negro suffrage, pretests against any measure of disfranchisement, oxcept for crime or violation ot the rules of civilized warfare. The extreme men are, however, undoubtedly in the ascendant, and the majoilty report will be adopted without any essential modification, unless contrary instructions are immediately received from Washington. Various petitions, ordinances, and resolutions have also been presented. An ordinance cor recting abuses under the apprentice laws; another legitimatizing the children of persons of color who may have lived together while slaves without having beeu married, and a third Sroviding that common carriers shall make no istinctions between citizens on account of race or color, were offered, all of which were re ferred. The last ordinance is believed to compel the railroad companies to carry negroes in sleeping cars. Tho report of the Committee on Finance and Taxation reported in favor of maintaining the credit ot the State inviolate. A committee of thirteen was appointed to pi e pare an oath of office to be taken by every State official. VIRGINIA.

At this Juncture a cry was raisod of "police," "the military arc coming."

It was reported that the latter would no, appear, having been badly trained, and fearing foul play. At this point the company was startled by the cries of "Police !r and "Tbe military aie coming 1" And then a stampede commenced, but too late for all the spectators to escape from the military, who formed a cordon around the fort, and, with fixed bayo nets and pistols, threatened death to every one who attempted to break through the lines.

On Saturday even" ine a murderous assault was committed on Hnipe street, In this city, upon a slrunuer named William H. Bennett, a lesldent of Schenevas, Ots go coniity. The victim will probably die, and the affair has caused the greatest sensaiiou. At the time he was In company with a young woman named Martha benedict, now under arrest. Martha was examined to-day, and acknowledged that she was on terms of inti macy with the assaulted party. Biure March last 6be bas been living with her parents in this city, and has been keepipe com pany with a man named fhoma Waters, for merly a clerk in the County Clerk:s office, and a lover of hers. Ou Saturday she made an ap pointment with Bennett, but had previously parted with Waters. A letter found in tbe pos session of Bennett gave a clue to the perpetrator of the deed, this letter being lrom Miss Benedict, requesting him to meet her. This led to her arrest, and afterwards to the arrest of Waters, who, of course, denied all knowledge ot the affair, although cvioetce of a circumstantial nature strongly points to him as the perpetrator. The rung of a cbair, fifteen inches in length, broken in two, was found where Bennett was lying, indicating clearly .by tbe blood and hair clinging to it that it was used by the assailant. Miss Benedict was examined to-day, and in her testimony clearly points to Waters as tbe author of the dastardly assault,. but whether jealousy was the motive is not yet known. It is stated, however, that the wounded man wai also robbed of four or five hundred dollars. THE COLE-mSCOCK HOMICIDE. Postponement ot the Case Affidavits. Albany, Nov. 11. This morning the Novem ber term of the Court of Oyer and Terminer for the county of Albany opened in this city. Jus tice RoIub W. Feckhain presiding. After the usual preliminary motions, and the Justice's charge to tbe Grand Jury having been disposed of, District Attorney llenry Smith called np the case of George W. Colo, charged with tbe homicide of L. Harris IlKcock, on the 4th day of June last, atBtanwix Hall. The notoriety attending the alleged incidents of this tragedy had awakened feelings of the deepest interest among a large class ot people, not alone in this city but throughout the State, and, as a consequeuce, the allusion to the case this morning brought the legal profession to their feet, who vied each with the other and with a large audience outside the rails, to catch every word that fell from tbe lips of the prose cutor, and every sontenoo uttered in behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Cole was In court, n'teuded by his brother, Senator Colo, of California, while James T. Brady, of New Vork, aud Judge Amnsa J. Par ker, who have recently been added to William J. Had ley, of Albany, as the prisoner's counsel, occupied teats within his clse proximity. In answer to the District Attorney, Mr. Ha-1-ley arose, and submitted a statement of George w . uoie, tho rrifoner, wheu it was assumed that the presence of two material witnesses, Mrs. Flisabcth Anderson, wife of Yale Anderson, of Syracuse, and Mrs. E. Cuvler, wife of John L. Cuyier, of Chicago, the latter a niece of Mrs. Cole, both laoies suffering lrom sickneis, and consequently unable to tiavel, were essentially necestary as witnesses in the case, and through his couuFel prayed for a postponement. The other affidavits in the cise were those of Mrs. E. Cuvler, representing tbe nature ot her sickness, together with the nilidavits of her husband, John L. Cu.vler, and that of her physi cian, William H. Hoyt. Justice Ptckham desired the District Attorney to carefully examine tbe matter, aud sta'.e his objections, if be had liny, asainst granting thu request of tbe prisoner's counsel. Upon complying tho District Attorney did not make any forcible obiecLior8, nor did he vigor OLsly apply these stated, admitting that the ulli davits were in due form. To this J J&tice Peckbam replied that unless the statements of the affidavits were open to suspicion he would grant the request, which he ultimately did. Upon this decision being rendered the court room was instantly cleared of the many eager faces that bad peered from every available spot, and the prisoner was again speeded to his lonely home on Maiden lane.

Business In financial circles is quiet, though most of the discount houses report a good call for money.
