0 I1ESTER V AUG II AN. tmi " Mm. Stanton gorn in ee Governor Ueitrjr H hl She N rmil Wlint Hue Haiti. Tba Revolution co.ots.tna a letter from Mra. E. Cad? Stanton, dated in thla oltjr on the 5 th lust. We make the following extracts: Dear Revolution: In company with Mm. Miller, daughter of Hon. Uerrlt Smith, we waited on Governor Geary yesterday, with the Memorial from the Werkiogwomen's National Association, asking a pardon for Hester Vanghan, now lying in a Philadelphia prison under sentence of death for the alleged crime t Infanticide. BH8 TAKES THE HKIHT TRAIN. We took the night train, and reaching II r Tisbnrg at 4 o'clock, were summoned to the nngracfons duty of coming forth into the ooli morning air to decide what the next step should be. TBI UBn OF MEN. It 1b on such oocasiona, 'mid darkness and Strangers, that one appreciates the genus homo; however, being thron upon our ovn re Bonroes, we asked the conductor which was the bebt hotel in Uarrisburg. "The Lochiel," he promptly replied, which at once Buested to ua the oujiuoua lines of Campbell, "L )chiel 1 Lochiel I beware of the day," and as we en tered the long, dark omnibus, we gazad fur tively about, leehog that there might b worse things at hand to beware of than what lay in tbe dim future. However, we reached the hotel in safety, found a comfortable room, where we resumed the thread of our dreams until breakfast, which, with the exception of the coflee (ohickory?), was good. The at tendants, from Afrio's burning sands, were attentive and obliging. A BLACK SAXON WITH CHISELLED PRATCBES. We were much struck with the fine head and chiselled features of one tall black una, who looked thoroughly Saxon in everything but color. On inquiry, we found his Excellency the Governor was at home, so we ordered a carriage and went to the Exeoutive Mansion. We were somewhat ashamed of our outfit. J The carriage was old and dilapidated, and our "white male" driver presented rather an untidy and limpid appearance with one leg of hie pantaloons turned up and the other drag ging on the ground. GBABY OUT ON A "PARTY." We were told that as the Governor had been out to a party the night before until 1 o'clock, we would fiud him still at his house. Bat in spite of the late Lours he was already in the Capitol attending to the duties of the Execu tive Department. We queried as We rode aloDg as to the probable frame of mind in Which we might Cud his Excellency, and sug gested to our companion, that with late hours, salads, oysters, ice cream, coffee (and perhaps something stronger), we might fiud him iu a rather dyppeptio condition, which would eclipse for a time the nobler sentiments of courtesy, justice, and mercy, but she promptly repudiated the sugge.ition, and expressed her confidence that duasmuuh as he had beeu in the society of ladies, probably tripping the light fantastic toe, in the giddy waltz or graceful quadrille, or exalted by their influ ence into the diviuer realms of sentiment and affection, we should no doubt find him in a most philanthropic state of mind. In this hope we alighted at the Capitol, whioh, by the way, is an unpretending brick building. Every thing was in a state of busy preparation for the opening of the Legislature in the second Week in January. THE PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATORS SOBERING OFF ' ON SODA WATER. It eeems they allow their legislators a little time to steady themselves after the jovialities Of the holidays before entering on the import ant business of the State. Seeing a group of workmen standing under the dome, we asked if some one would show us to the Governor's apartments. One old man, with a basket of apples on his arm, said he would do himself the honor. As we went along we inquired What the people generally thought of their Governor. "I am a Democrat, and he a Re publican," he archly replied, "so my opinion would not be worth much, but I suppose the people of Pennsylvania believe in him or they would not have elected him." TALriTATORS 1 1 1 After mounting the staircase and pausing to take breath (as we did not wish to eater his Excellency's presence in a palpitating condi tion), we knocked at the door, an attendant promptly appeared, and we were ushered into a large, pleasant room. We then gave him onr cards and a letter of introduction from the, world-known editor of the Tribune, which we secretly prayed the Governor, in an ad joining apartment, would be able to read. GEARY TRYING) TO READ GREELEY. Whilst he was deciphering that epist'e aul arranging his cravat, glossy black hair, aud a benevolent smile for our reception, we had abundant time to observe our surroundings. The iloor was covered with a bright Brussels carpet, a coal stove and a large table occupied the centre of tbe room; near each leg of the table Btotd a large spittoon, capable of holding at least half a gallon of rej noted tobacc3 juice, and in a remote corner stood another of these symbols of legislative wisdom. Such a boun tiful provision for this manly indulgence led ns to fear that the Executive mouth might be disfigured with little streams of tobaooo juice quietly meandering from either side through ltia beard, but we were pleasautly disappointed. The celling was decorated with portraits of all the Governors, from William Peun down to Governor Curtln, smiling benevolently, as if enjoying our merriment over the large spit toons. A J0KB GEAEY, "THE HERO OF LOOKOUT MOUN TAIN." We were startled from our oommunlou with the ppirit-land by the usher who announced that the Governor was ready to receive us, and we Boon stood in the august presenoe of the hero of .Lookout Mountain, who had been so famous in the Kansas imbroglio. The Gov ernor is a handsome man, of good manners, imposing presence, liberal views, and benevo lent feelings, and we feel Bare that we should have had a more pleasant and unrestrained interview, had not been for his stern secretary in spectacles, who maintained his position in the corner, occasionally throwing In a cold cart remark, as if to remind the Governor that he had duties and interests as a politician as well as a man, and that he must manifest no tender emotions that might reflect on the bar of the btate, as the judges, jurors, and advo cate in the case of Hester Vaughaa were all voters and would have a voice in his re election. He ptated that he had never signed the death warrant of Hester Vaughan, and that we might rest assured she was safe in his hands. Such being the case, we urged that a stay within tbe walls of a prison might not be the most desirable to an innocent woman, and that if the justice of the case had moved him to a stay of proceedings, meroy demanded that the prisoner should experience its bene fits by a speedy release from hr long and severe incarceration, never having been per mitted to walk in the corridors either before or after her trial. THE DAILY E TELKGRArii PHIL AD EL PHI A, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1868. ......iiimi TO T1R "MADB AN BXAMfLK 01 To this his Exoellenoy replied that n hA given much patient thought to pVi&sn disci pline, and hoped to ao Improve whole sys tem of the btate as to make, f enasylvauia an example that other States might follow. Knowing the disgraceful condition of "The Tombs" in New York, where a thousand church spires point to heaven, we promptly replied we were rejoiced that his mlud was turned to that subject, and we hoped our Gov ernor would follow hla example. Returning to Hester Vaughan, his Excel lency remarked that justice would never be done in cases of infantioide until women were in tbe jury-box. This opinion shows that the Governor has either thought profoundly on this Bubject or read the resolution! passed at the Cooper institute meeting. This being the opinion of the Executive, we shall look for a speedy movement among the women of Penn sylvania demanding that the statute providing that "minors, slaves, Idiots, lunatics, crimi nals, and women shall not be jurors," be amended by striking out the word "women." After spending over an hour with the Gov ernor, who was gracious and genial (barriug the under-current of wounded State pride), we aiofe to depart. Among the mauy kind words on leaving, he Baid, "Present my regards to Horace Greeley, aud say to him that he is one of the distinguished men of our times for whom I have felt great admiration and esteem." Speaking of the Hon. Gerrit Smith, Wd told him he was our kinsman, and he must ex cuse what might seen to him unoallad-for sympathy on our part, as philanthropy was a family maiuia. A mania, his Exoellenoy graciously remarked, which he admired, and with which-he himnelf was somewhat alfected. The next day we went to the Moyainensing Prison. MRS. STANTON PEES CHANDLER. The Governor's letter opened the doors to ns at once, aud we were ushered into Mr. Chandler's office, where he sat correcting a letter of Hester Vaughan's to the women ot the Empire State, Baying that she wished ns to bold no more meetings, or make any ex pressions of public sympathy in her behalf, as she feared it might embarrass Executive action in ber case, and prolong her suffering. After hearing the letter, we remarked that, of coarse, Hester did not see that such a let ter would be a grave relleotion on those in whose hand her life was. To suppose for a momont that any unwise action in a sister State could interfere with the proposed jus tice and mercy to a helpless criminal was an evidence of a want of knowledge of the high' character of the Governor of Pennsylvania, who had told us that he had not signed the death warrant, and never should do so. It was evident that this letter had been prompted by some outside influence, aud Mr. Chandler, probably, took that view of the case aud de cided not to send it. OUTRAGE ON CHANDLER, We found Mr. Chandler a genial, benevo-lent-lookiDg old gentleman, though when we first met him, and he ascertained from the Governor's letter that we were from Netf Yoik, he poured out the vials of his wrath on the Cooper Institute meeting, the New York press, aud the Workingwonien'a, Association; but when he found the committee were calm, cool, collected pei nonages, able to stand fire, and kinsmen of Gerrit Smith, who had beeu his associate in Congress, and for whom he expressed great regard and respect, most friendly relations were at once established. He complained that some of our papers had ridiculed him for coming down to Prison In spector after having represented the Republic in foreign countries and the great Common wealth of Pennsylvania in Congress. MRS. STANTON SOOTHES CHANDLER. We assured him if any euch things had been said, it must have been by some envious politioiauB in his own State. That his name was mentioned with great respect in the Cooper Institute meeting, and in our daily journals. In exaltiDg his present position, we told bim we thought he had never held a higher office. No father could have been kinder than he has been to the unfortunate Hester Vaughan, and he has already made great im provements in the arrangements of the prison tor the comfort of those under his supervi sion. HESTER VAVCnAtf. He escorted ns through the wing of the prison where the women are incarcerated, aud gave us many interesting accounts of the in mates. At last we paused at the door of Hester Vaughan's cell, aud saw her iunoieat face through the wicket for the first time. She returned a sad, earnest, questioning look, as her eyes scanned the group that gathered around ber door, which was at once thrown open and with trembling heart we entered. Ou seeiDR the poor cm our interest in ber was greatly intensified, and we felt more thau ever convinced of her innocence. Hester is a short, stout cirl, with a round head, high, broad forehead, an open, benevolent faje, light brown hair, soft blue eyes, and fair complexion. She has a quiet, self-possessed manner, aud is gentle in her movements and speech. She oan read and write, and Is very intelligent for one of her class. She showed us several of L-e Richmond's stories, which she had bsen read ing, and exhibited undergarments thtt she had made that were very neatly embroidered. Everything about her indicates a taste for order, cleanliness, and beauty. As we were left alone with her, we had a full, free talk of more than an hour. She went over the traio scenes of the last year, She told us of her desertion in a strange land, of her betrayal and disgrace, of her wretched ness, deBpair, and sullering, of her cruel arrest and exposure; dragged by men, in the depth of winter, from a bed of sickness to the station house and prison, when prudeuoe aud mercy alike should have shielded her from the publio gaze. She told ui of her mock trial, the judges, menl the jurors, men I her advocate, a man I who took her last cent, and never came near her till the day of her trial, mani fested no sympathy with her, and made a mefgre, feeble defense. Mr. Chandler had told ns of her agony after the sentence. Returning from the court she met him in the corridor, and threw herself into his arms, crying, "Oh, save me I eave met I cannot die!" Her screams in the court-room were enough to touch the heart of any man not made Insen sible by reverence for false laws and customs of his own creation; and not one there could understand the sorrows and temptation of woman, bankrupt in all she holds deat, and betrayed where, by all that is holy in nature, she bad a right to look for protection. ' She told ni of her young days, her home, how mnoh she feared her lather might hear of her disgrace. She Baid she wished she hal given fcome other same in court, wnen we told her that the families with whom she had lived had petitioned the Governor for her re lease, and epoken in the highest terms of her devotion and faithfulness to their interests, 'Oh, yes," she Bald, with great simplicity, "I never harmed any one but myself." Her cell is about eleven fet square, has a large window that she can opefl or shot at pleasure, water and heat at her command, with a ventilator in the ceiling. She has a trunk full of olothes, a number of books, a table and two stools. She had asked a chair, as she Buffers greatly with paia in her back, and cannot sit without leaning. Noticing that she leaned against the cold wall, we told her that the pain in her baok was rheumatism, and that that would increase it. If there is no law against it, we hope some one of the thousands of Philadel phia ladies whom the Governor told ns were Interested in Hester's case will send her a chair. Whilst we were there the door Btood wide open. "Oh," Baid she, "how plea'ant it seems to have that door open. You have no idea how dreadful it is to be shnt up all alone these long, dark nights, with mioe and oock roaches. I have had my Qogors bitten while sleeping." We mntioned this to a gentleman in the corridor. He replied, "A prison ia not a hotel." ARB COCKROACHES LEGAL ? As men are great sticklers for law, inas much as m'ce and cockroaches were not apart of tbe Judge's sentence, we trust such nuipanoes will be speedily abated as the una voidable hardships of prison life are more than most mortals can endure without bacoming idiots or lunatics. MRS. DR. SMITH. In view of the jealousy expressed at the New York sympathy for Hester VaiiRhan, we asked how many Philadelphia ladies had been in to Bee her. She spoke of the frequent visits and great kindness of Mrs. Dr. Smith. "Once," she said, "a lady came with hr; and last Friday (three days after the New York meeting) two ladies came to see me; that is all." We agree with the Governor that the home sympathy has been manifested with peculiar quietness both by the press andjpeople of Penn sylvania. CONCLUSION. Tie have no reason to fear that the poor and unfortunate will ever receive too much atten tion either at home or abroad. We trust the present excitement will teach vb, one and all, that we have an individual responsibility in the helpless ones now Buffer ing in our jails and prisons. If we could only make the sorrows of others our own we should have less patience with wrong and oppression. "It is remarkable," says Dean S wift, "with what Christian fortitude and resignation we can bear the sufferings of other folks." Ji. C. S. Foreign Gossip. Intelligence has been received that Mr. Cooper, who ia at the head of the Expedition for the Survey of the Yellow river, made hid way as far as Bathange, when the Chinese authorities refused to allow him to cross over into Thibet. Under these circumstances he determined to fall bauk on the Bhama route, in tbe direction of Calcutta. Schoolmasters and pupils who are pre paring for the next Oxford local examination will learn with vexation if they are not already informed that the French subject for juniois has just been altered. Instead of llaurcan'a "Charlemagne," as announced iu tbe programme, dated May 9, it is to be "Lazare Hoche," by Einile Bonneohose. No explanation is given, but there must have been culpable negleot somewhere. The ex pense, as well as loss of time aud labor, occa sioned by this change might have been avoided by due consideration beiore fixing upon the subject for examination. In view of the observations of the transit of Venus that will doubtless be made in 1871 and 1882, Mr. E. J. Stone, of Greenwich Obser vatory, has redlscussed the various observa tions made in 1709 by Father Kell, Wales aud Dymond, Captain Cook, and others; aud he states that the. investigation has led him to the "detection of several grave and fundamental errors which have previously been made iu the discussion of these results, aud to a value of the solar parallax entitled to be received with confidence." This value is 8 deg 91 min., which confirms the long-acoepted conclusion that it was "about 8 deg. 90 min.," and gets rid of the serious discrepancies which have long perplexed astronomers. While many are clamoring for the aban donment of Greek and Latin composition, the University of London has reoognized its value, by making it one of the requirements for the degree of D. Lit., or Doctor of Literature, which it has recently instituted, aud in one instauoe conferred. This title is attainable by all graduates of an English university or that of Dublin, on passing two examinations with not less than a year between them. The first, which eutiiles tbe successful candidate to the degree of M. A., includes the Greek and Latin elastics, with prose composition in Greek, LatiD, and English, and the history of the world to the end of the eighteenth century. The subjects of the second are the Eaglish language, Euglish literature and history, French or German language and literature, with either of the following languages: Anglo-Saxon with Icelandic, Smskrit, Arabic, Hebrew with Syriao. Dr. Aoland says, in his address to the British Medical Association, "Chemistry, which need to be chiefly analytical, has now become enthusiastically synthetical." There are virtually no limits to the substances which can be made. Bert helot makes a calculation of tbe number of combinations with acids of certain alcohols. He says, "if you gave each a name, allowing a line tor the name, theu printed one hundred lines in a page, and mvle volumes of a thousaud pages, aud placed a million volumes in a library, you would need fourteen thousand libraries for yonr cata logue." He, therefore, properly calls such bodies infinite, instancing the synthetical con struction of the alcohol and aldehyde series, of the organio acids, of tbe amides, of urea, aud the millions of possible bodies which loom in the future certain to be made, waiting to be made, the possessors of qualities suspected, but unknown. Mr. David Forbes has made a series of ex periments and observations with a view to arrive at definite conclusions as regards the contraction, on cooling, of the Bilioated rocks which compose bo large a portion of the earth's crust. He found that large masses of artificial Btone, weighing half a ton, were as large after cooling as tbe wooden models from which the moulds bad been made. Tue principal ingre dient in the castings here referred to was Row ley Rag, a basaltic rock, which figures Urgly in a range of bills near Dudley. Experiments with glass show the shrinkage to be not more than 1 j per oent. of the whole volume. From these aud other facts Mr. Fjrbes draws the conclusion that "the amount of contraction which Bilicated rocks undergo in passing from the molten to tbe solid and cold state must be very much less than usually taken for granted, aad that, in consequence of this, the effects due to such contraction, when con sidered in relation to certain geological phe nomena, have been muoh overestimated." A "Report on Meteorologioal Observation) in the Northwestern Provinces of India" has been printed at Iloorkee. It contains the record of weather for the year 1867, from twenty-three stations three on the hills, twenty in the plains which include all the physical features of the country. Thla is im portant, as observations made at different ele vations afford means of comparison which can be turned to good account by meteorolo gists. Dr. Murray Thomson, who has drawn up the report, states that native doctors and medical students have been . trained to nee tbe instruments, and from them, when practiflng their profession In different parts of the provinces, trustworthy series of obser vations may be obtained. At Agra, leotures on the u?e of the Instruments were given to the students of the Oordoo, and money prizes were awarded to the most proficient. Any one wishing to ascertain the temperature an t other meteorological phenomena of the "cool season," tbe time of the hot winds, the rainy season, and of the weeks when periodical changes are taklog place, will find them all clearly set forth in these tables. Dr. Thom son hopes eventually to show the connection between weather aud disease; at present the data are too uncertain to enable him to do more than thow an access of oholera on a sudden (allot temperature. On the 1st of November last one of the moBt important Dutch lines of railway was thrown open to tbe publio. It runs from Utrecht to Waardenbutg, and forma a link of the section Utreoht-Bois-le-Duo, leading to Brussels and Pails. Bois-le-Duo was on the same day admitted into the Dutoh railway system, and pnt in communication with the railway that now stretches away from Goes (in Zeeland) to Venlo (in Limburg). It is probable that the section Bols-le-Dao-Waar- denburg, which now alone remains unfinished In this part of the country, will be ready by tbe middle or end of next year, so that 1809 will witness an unbroken communication between Amsterdam and Paris. Of all the lilies to be built by the State according to the act passed in 18 GO, this one from Utrecht to Bis-le Duo is the most difficult and costly. Three tremendous brides had to be constructed over three large rivers the Mense, near Hedel, the Waal, near Zilt Bommel, and the Lek, near Culemborg. The last is now open for traffic, and the others are nearly ready. The bridee near Culembortt, half-way between Utrecht aud Wardeuburjr. is one of the grandest works of engineering skill. It consists of one arch of 492 Euglish leet span, one or zuZ leet, and seven arches of f7 feet span each, or 399 feet; total, ilOCJ English teet. It is constructed on the "fish-shaped girder" system. The one near Zalt-Bommel will measure 2G80 Eaglish feet There is no end to the grammatioo-logioal questions which come before us. A judge, Discharging a man upon his recognizance to come np for sentence it called upon, tells him that if he behave well he will probably die before he bears any more of the matter. At this "Uiberuicism" the newspaper says the whole court roared with laughter. There was no bull at all, for two reasons. First, a mau who fires a shotted gnu at unoffending little girls may bear ot it after death; and most of those who laughed profess to believe this. Bat we will concede to the laughing audience that this allusion was not in the mind of the judge. Let ns turn then to tbe grammatical view The laugh is a proof ot the progress which the logical principle is makingbut it does not always enow itseii discreetly. The ques tion is this lias that which is never to happen a before and an after? No after certainly; but in common minds and common language it has a beore. Is it absurd, uugrammatical, or illogical, to say to a person who is attempting the impracticable, ion will ruin yourself before you succeed ? When a man Bays, "I will see you hanged first," he meaus that he never will: some persons explicitly add. "and then I won't." The laughing logiciaus ot the court had the idea that before and after are alternatives: this is not true. The alternative of before la "at or after, or never." Try it; you will get to the moon before Christmas, or you will not get to the moon before Christmas; this seems clear. If not, then you get to the moon at Christmas, or after Christmas, or never. The judge's remark left open whether the criminal, not being called np during life, would be called up at death, after death, or never. He did not explain that the Court does not pass sentence upon all persons in articulo mortis, and does not ermmon ghosts; bo that never is the only practical alternative.' And probably the re mark was suggested by the prisoner being an old man. A Sootoh clergyman was talking very seriously to a parishioner about drinking, aDd hoped he bad produced some effect. Aud bo he had, for the parishioner said, "Ye're right, sir; whisky's a bad thing, especially bad whitky !" And we Bay that logio is a puz zling thing, especially bad logic 0 PROPRIETORS OF HOTELS, BOARDING-HOUSES AND SHIPPING.
