MST OF JACK KEI10E. l'otlsvllle, Dec. 18. Jack Kehoo was ex ecuted in tho jail yard of this county to day. Kehos had rejlred last night at "eleven o'clock and nays hp shpt noundly until six o.clock thin morning, when lie remarked to the umlk.-cf?r that he never felt better1 lu his life. About half pastscveu this morn ing his spiritual udvisers (two Catholic priest) wrr welcomed to his cell by the oondemtiMl, who entered Into the high mass ceremonies with apparent' test. His wife, who remained almost ntidcr the shadow of the fallows until the final scene, was also present during thf progres of the religious exercle, sh halng entered tho acll a short time previous to the arrival of tho prict a-J had a final and a(Tctlng Interview with ber husband. Tro Sisters ol Charity also joined In the exercises. The procr.in was headod by the sheriff and warden, followed clotly by Kehoe and the officiating prltt and the jury (elected to hold the inquest. Tho stnophcre wt? nlrrcinaly dd and the snow wa slowly fal ling. About 200 person had asembled In "le vicinity of tha scjfMd to wltnestho '.angino, and a the familiar (orm of the 'Jollio King e-nrrp-d from the prison l" ?hich he had for over two yeirs been in urcerateil a rush was made to get agllmpe if his hno. Kehoe had thrown over a black uit a cloak which hn hd worn before hi arrest, and nn tho lappel of lit oost a bin quet, furnisliKl by hi wlf,was di-played. Kthoo stood up well under the trying or deal, walking with stoaine nearly fifty yards nnd .itcending tho hluh steps Iwding to the gall lira unassisted and without betray ing nervouHuess. Ho carried a tiper in his 1 and which the sajnd had exllnulsheilbe fore lie reached the sraff.ild. The bold man nr in which ho walked into the jaws of tenth rxeil much surprise, the general im prvslnn, judging him by his frequent ex 'libitions of cowardice, being that ho would nresr down under tho strain, one of Ills old noci itf, who had saved his neck by squeal i ig on his partner in crime, having stated a few Jay ago that tho Mollie king would hate to bn aarried to the gallows. Even while the fatal rope was dangling about his shoulders he appeared unmoved. As the t.me approached for the hanging he eiuietly removed the cloak and received the embra ce of ids priests and exchanged kisses with ira. He afterward embraced the warden .rid imparted a kiss on his neck, when the olatform was cleared of all but th sheriff ud his deputy who remained to adjust thu necessary paraphernalia about tho culprit. IlsfortJ the performance of this exerciso the sheriff asked Kehoe whether he had any thing to say. The Mollie, with head erect, declared that he was not guilty of the mur der of Langdon and that he did not see the crime committed. Having made his last speech he assumed a prayerful attitude, and until the white bag hid his face from view his lips wero in mo 'ion if as he were engaged in supplication The trap was sprung about half past ten, nnd thechiefof the murderous organizition was suspended between heaven and earth.Thebody remaiued stationary a few minutes, when vi o'.ent convulsive movements ensued, which clearly iudicated that he was dying by stran gulation. Prom the hips down the body was drawn up at least a coreof times. Niue minutes after the platform fell Kehoe was pronounced dead, and two minutes after ward be was cut down Too Little Pumpkin. A down-et fanner annually raised a 'arge pumpkin and divided it between his grown-up rons, who, with their wives, camo home every Thanksgiving-day to get their lice. The youugerj unmarried children of 'he farmer did not participate in the pump !.!n feast, but as ono by one they became of I'.'c and married, they were admitted Into h- circle. The farmer began to notice that ii. c larger the party to bo served wilh pump xln tho 1cm each one received, as the pump ill was always about tho same hize and A'tight, and finally, when the last bon had rirried, the good man discovered that the lid's were ro small a to be utterly worth less, then lie held a council. Jly sons, hi) said, "you are doubtless aware that I can not perform miraclea and consequently can not make this pumpkin feed a multitude. Go ye, therefore, and raise pumpkins, each for himselt, and may the blessing of Divine i'roudenc abide nith ye." The family then srjltered, some going into one county and tho other into another, and they established themselves a farmer,itllllug the soil and alsing all kinds of crops, etc. And each .ad bis own pumpkin vino and tig tree. This dd story is illustrative of the predicament of the lawyers in their scramble for practice n this county. Like office holders few die and none resign, and every year their num- r is growing larger. Hut the praotice the pumpkin dos not increase ; it grows less every year, so at last the great problem is what shall we do with our lawyers 1 If they ttay here starvation threatens them, and go away they will not, unless driven out by parental or higher authority. The legal 'ractice in Schuylkill couuty annually grows less, and is divided among so many that few, if any, lawyers are making more than a bare living. And yet still they come. Here we have twenty or thirty young lawyers hang iug to the ragged edges of an impoverished bar, all expecting to reach fame and fortune in the course of time. Some remain here because they are in love and have relatives who keep them. (Now don't all start up aud ask, "me V me?" at ouee, gentlemen). Others stay because they cau't get away, aud some even remaiu because they ex pect some day to occupy scaU on the bench, this belDg considered a good county for am bitious young lawyers, lint they remain, some for une.reasou, some for another ; that is the stubborn fact, aud it has come to pass that the few must devise some means to pro tect themselves against the many. We think wo have hit upon a plan, Thejudg es will agree to it because thoy are interest' ed in having as few aspirants for their posi tious as possible and consequently it can bo carried out, It is this. In the new rules of court at which tho committee are uw tinker ing, let one be engrafted requiring members of the bar for five years Jafter admission toundergo semi-annual examinations.

Why. ahoulJh't our le gal profession be kept Up (o the same stand' ard as the army nnd navy f Fully two thirds of our attorneys cease study with their aduiUsion and never look into a law book unless it is to find 'a decision. Aud yet these aie the men who rulu the business of the other third who do study and fit themselves to be entrusted with the care of important cases, If then the rule. Wd urge is adopted the meritorious will be benefitted and the loafers at the bar will have to leave.

F r ono I am anxiou that everything known or that can be known of these despatches should bo exposed This is due to Mr. Tilden who was elected to the Presidency, and to the party whioh nominated him and the people who voted for iiim.

The church es were not half tilled, though if the day had been bright there would have been good audiences. A good many Congressmen nre church goers and a good many nre not. Christmas preparations go on apace. Tho stores and shops already have a holiday ap pearance. Whenever it is pleasant thereis a throng upon the streets and sidewalks, nnd everybody seems to have a bundle. Sruinolk. It is now too late for tha radical leaders to repair the blunders which they have commit ed in legislating for the souiii. Senator Maine's speech is a pitiful eonlessiori of the cmbjrrasmeuts that surround them. The enfranchisement of thi negrofs has increas ed the political strength of the south as he complains, and it has lessened to its whole extent the power of tho republican party. Upon the ballot in the hands of the negroes tho republicans confidently relied for main taining their power in the south. In de pending upon the brute force of Ignorant numbers thoy left Rome moral elements ol great weight out of their calculation. They did not estimate the influence of intelligence nnd education upon the maw which they havoeltvated to the responsibilities and du ties of citizenship, and they now discover the full extent of their error. The republi cans should not have enfracbised the negroes of the south or they should not have remov ed political disabilities for participating in the rebellion. When the white people of the south were restored to their political rights their superiority naturally asserted itself in the electrons, as was bo well, said by JudgeThurinan in his admirable reply to Mr. Blaine. What might have beeu an-: licipated from the collision of these opposing torccH was soon witnessed. As soon as tho pressure of federal forco was removed in tho south and tho disgraceful carpet bag power was overthrown the colored people, ignorant and inept in political inan:iement, naturally and necessarily fe'l in behind their masters. As the plundering rule of carpet baggers in South Carolina, Louisiana aud other nates has sho a h this was necessary fbr their pro tection. It is too late now to renew the dis abilities ol the southern whites for participa tion in tho rebellion, and it is too late to de prive the colored people of the political priv ileges secured by the amendments to tho constitution. The experiment of ncirro suf frage will go lo the end and its tuost strenu- ous supporters will be found among those who resisted it in the beginning. Political rights'when once conceded cannot bejmade the sport of paity. Negro suffrage is em bedded in the constitution and it will remain thero in spite of tho bitter disappointment of the republican leaders at the failure of tho partisan ends for which it was designed.

The Grand Duchess of Hesse Darmstadt Princess Alice of Eng land-died at 7,30 this morning, of dipther- ia, from which she had been suffering for several days. WHO 811 n WA8, Princess Alice was the third daughter of liueen Victoria. She was born in 1843, and married in 18G2 to Prince Louis, of Hesse Darmstadt, aud was, at the timo of her death. thirty-fine years of age.

In his quarterly rep rt to the SjIiooI Committee just submit - - - - ted: Ono of tho most cunmon, If not tho great est, fault of teachrrs has beenthuthey have been confined too eiflusively to text book, This Is now a,not universally conceded to be a most erious defect, tint ought at once to be remedied J but th") Igniring of text books entirely In teaching and relying upon oral Instruction is an evil of even greater magnitude. The trim pnrpose of education 1 not merely to fill the mind, but to q ilck en it powers into self-activity, an I thereby to improve and strengthen it, When child ren first enter into tho path of knowledge everythingsh mid be audo.eafy.aadjpleasaut as possible. Their perceptivo powers should be quickencsl by every ehnrm of novelty that can be thrown around the visible objects from which they are constantly gaining new idea. A child's knowledge must of necessi ty bo of tho concrete nnd not of the abstract. Word are sljns and symbol of Ideis In the minds of a child, only when they have bean associated with visible objects and their qualities. Il.it, after tho earlier stage ha bee. pasd, children must be taught to - use their own powrs, and ujo them vigorously. Tho attempt to make education a mre pas time is an absurdity that should be scoffed nt, a idlo and visionary. There never ha been any thorough ed ucation, nor can there ever bo, without hard workers. The powers of mind, ns well as those, of tho body iicqiiro strength and vigor only by use. And tho highest function uf a 'cachcr i to instruct Ids pupils hoi to use thMr powers aright, by a wie and Iraltlifu' exercise. Astho treasures of knuwhdgs urn iiaiuly contained in book, pupils should bs arly taught to know how to ue them. Tho rapid, discursive and thoughtless manner in which books nio now read by our youths is is one of ths greatest obiticles,to the pro gress of a siuiid education. Tho kind and amount of oral instructions that should b iven in our schools riqtilrns also the most careful consideration. There are many sub jecis that are mt included in any course of study that can be presented orally and clear ly in every sc'jojI. What Infinite Wisdom lias r-een lit to make in the varied forms of nature is certainly worthy of the attention and careful study of man. This should ev er constitute mi important part of education It should beginSwith the earlitstdawn of in tellectual life Nature has a language thai is addressed to every intelligent being. Its alphabet should be learned as one of tho very first lessons taught, aud Its expressivo and symbolical language should bo thestudy ofour whole life. Oral teaching, however, should be limited to, nnd closely connected witdi, the studies the pupils are pursuing. It should always ba definite and exact, expli eating or enforcing some new truth or fact, and so intimately related to the subject taught as to bo thoroughly incorporated with it, giving to it greater clearness of force. Whatever a pupil cm do for himself should never bo done for him. Tho office of teach er is to nw.meu tiioiignt ; to guide ami as sist, and not to do the work of his pupil Knowledge that is acquired without effort i of but little value ; it soou lades from th, memory and is forgotten All oral teach ing that is general, discursive, wil bout a le- hmte niin.-and is beyond the range of th stildicsorthe capacities of the pupils, tenda to distract the mind nnd interrupt the con nected current of thought whlc.i is oscntial to all true di-cipline. While tho teachrr's coustant aim should bo to make everyUu'ug clear nnd easily apprehended ,by tho dullest capacity, thero should bs no excess of expla- uanation. Tho random talk sometimes heard in some schools on almost every variety or topics, without method or purpose, wordv and meaningless, is ever to he deprecated as a mo-t ierioiu evil. Far better lor n teach er to be silent, unless ho can open his mouth with wisdom. The Q leen's Bench Division, at a sitting 111 iiuic, before Lord Coleridge and .Mr. Jus tice Mellor, has decided that there is no cora mt;hw right entitling fox hunters to pass over land In fresh pursuit ofa fox. The ar- peal camo up in this way: Bomo gentle men, while hunting witli the Yale of Taun ton hounds, in Somersetshire, tried to crors the field of a fa rmer named Summerhayes. tils son warned them off, and turned back Mr. Paul's horse. Mr. Paul urged his horee forward. Summerhayes aeain nut it back. Then Mr. Paul resisted. Summerhayes took up a stone. Mr. Paul got off his horse, and strove to take it away, and a struggle ensued Another of the gentleman said : "If jou throw that stone, I'll knock you down." The young farmer caught hold of the horse's bridle, and the gentleman struct- him twlco with his whip. Summerhayes complained, and the magistrates convicted the fox hunt ers, and imposed a small fine, from which conviction the appeal was taken. Mr, Cole, Q. 0., contended that the chase of the fox was a lawful justification for en tering upon any land. He cited au old case in Popham's Iteports, in the reign of Eliza beth, that it was lawful to go on land ii pursuit of the fox, "for the fox Is a noNome beast, so that his destruction is beneficial to the public,,' XIr. Justice Mellor observed that tliejustification was not put on a very sportsmanlike ground that the fox was a noisome beast, and thu object was to kill him as soon as possible. The-modern idea is that the pleasure of the Iiun, is the object. He romembered the case of a member of Parliament who had tho misfortune) of hay. ing a fox killed 011 his land, and who was torced to have a kind of inquest held on'the body oi the animal to satisfy his neighbors that he was no party to the act, or he would certainly have lost his seat. Mr. Charles, Q. 0., who appeared for Summerhayes, cited the case in which the Earl of Essex sued the Uev. Mr. Capel, in 180'J, for hunt ing in Cashiobury Part, and Lord Ellen borough decided (bat those who hunt are' not entitled to go oyer the lands of other persons. Lord Coleridge, with whom his colleague concurred, then pronounced judgment, af firming the conviction for tho assault. He was of opinion that the prosecutor was justified lu resisting the defendant's .entry, nr. iUn fnA I.V t .1 t II l.l.l.1 w.. ... .vv. u. uuuup wen euuueu to the enthusiasm it excites among those who enjoy it i but it must be carried on In sub ordlnatlou to'lhe'genual rights of mankind and the ordinary laws of property, one of winch ts that no one is entitled to go on the land of another without his lenve and against bis will. I here is nothing to justify a party of fox hunters lu riding over the field of a farmer against his will, If they persist, they are trespassers, and If he resists them and they assault blm, they aro without any legal justification. It is not a little singular that, after so many years of fox hunting, this question of law should have come now before an appellate court lu England for the first time.
