EVENING BULLETIN.
IrtresdaY. Starch 31, 1888.
MR. BVTLERIS SPISECff.
Andrew Johnson, the rebels and the cop
parimade bay° not, for a long time, had much
reitilion to love Benjamin F. — Baler. They
have heaped upon him the vilest abuse, and
ass cheap, easy and school-boyish way
of allowing their hatred of him, have given
him 'various nicknames. But Benjamin F.
Butler, as one of the managers of the Im
peachment of the President, is a much more
fbruddable character than be was when the
rebels of New Orleans called him "Beast,'
when the rebels of Richmond called him
v"Brute." His opening speech yesterday was
~za fine exhibition of legal learning and cogent
argument; while in tone and language it was
luny equal to the .solemnity and dignity of
She occasion.
The speech is very long, and shows marks
of close, exhaustive study of the subject.
:There is nothing in it that could have been
well omitted, and the reader who desires to
have a clear comprehension of the case,whiCh
is attracting the attention of the whale civil-
Jesed world, should not attempt to "skip" a
single sentence. People have long had decided
convictions as to the many wrongs done by
Andrew Johnson, since he became President.
But these wrongs have been distributed
through a period of three years,and the recol
lection of some of them has, in many
minds, become somewhat vague and indis
tinct. Only the more recent outrages have
been seriously thought of, because they at
last drove Congress to the extreme measure
-of Impeachment. Mr. Butler has, very prop
-telly, gone over the whole history of Mr.
'Johnson's offences, and presented them to
'the world in plain but forcible language. The
arraignment is a terrible one, and as each of
fence 'is supported by strong testimony,
Which will be fully presented In the course of
,the trial, there is a very natural curiosity to.
hear what kind of defence the great criminal
will make through his counsel. But the
mere presentation of the charges by Mr. But
ter makes candid people wonder at the pa=
tience and forbearance of Congress and the
people, in tolerating for so long a period the
conduct of the man who, in an evil hour,
became the President of the United States.
The crisis through which the nation is now
passing is a very serious one, but not so
serious as some others in its recent history.
There were periods in the rebellion that were
much more dangerous. But the 'Govern
ment passed through them triumphantly, and
the courage of the loyal people never wavered
in the darkest hour. The confidence and
determination of the people are as strong
now as they were in the gloomiest hours of
the civil war, and they are looking to the
constitutional remedy against executive usur
pations, secure that it will be found all-snfli
cleat If anything had been needed to nerve
the people and their representatives, in their
etretti2ict with the executive, it would be
fcrrished hy the admirable speech of the
opening counsel among the Impeachment
Manager,
TBZ SA/NOON FIRE SYSIrE3I.
Isundan has seven hundred square miles of
Seconaty within the bounds of its meopolitsn
iretrict. It has a population of about three
*TrilTirsesiof EMI* and there probably is more
value in money, merchandize and buildings
within its hoidens than is crowded into any
ether space of similar extent upon the face of
the globe. In the portions of the city devoted
io wholeale trade there are thousands of
warehouses that are filled with combustible
goods of almost fabulous value, and the
destruction by fire of a single one of these
great storage places would involve a heavier
loss than the burning of entire blocks of store
houses in most other cities would cause. There
is nothing new to the intelligent reader in
the recital of these facts, and we only men
tion them by way of a starting point to
the stating of some other facts that are not
so well understood. To protect this vast
district from fiery visitations there are 314
firemen. In comparison to the number of
firemen in service in American cities, this
force seems ridiculously small ; but the Lon
don
firemen are firemen in earnest; they are
employed to work and they are under a dis
cipline and drill quite as strict as any that is
observed in the' army. There are forty-three
fire stations, in, an area of 110 square miles,
but so distributed as to guard an area of more
than 400 square miles out of the whole extent
of.the metropolitan district. The number of
engines is ninety-five, including half a dozen
steam fire-engines, the best of which can
travel, on the river or canals, at a speed of
fourteen miles an hour, and can throw out
nearly twenty-four tons of water in a minute.
At the fire stations the men on duty are
furnished with barracks and they, with the
horses which draw the apparatus, are always
in readiness for instant service. Where
there are steam engines stationed an expedi
ent is hit upon that is worthy of imitation
by oar own firemen. As in the case of our ,ii
American steamers the boilers are kept full
and the fete' is always ready for instantlight
ini But the additional precaution is taken
to keep a gas-jet constantly playing upon the
boiler, and when on the occurrence of a con
fiaration the fires are lighted, the water is in
such condition that steam can be raised in
from two to three minutes, or by the time the
horses can be attached to the machine and the
men are ready to start. In addition to the
engines and hose-carts there a number of fire
escapes scattered through the city, and these
are Instrumental in saving many lives that
would otherwise be as,crificed in burning
buildings.
And for the cost of supporting this
thoroughly disciplined and efficient organivt
tion. The total annual expense is .C 50,000 in
all, or short of two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars in gold. This sum does not all
come ont of the treasury. From this source
..Clo,ooo.is taken, the insurance companies
contribute £lO,OOO, and the remaining £30,-
000 Is raised by a special metropolitan rite of
a half-penny in the pound. Making allow
ance for the digerence between gold and our
currency, the yearly cost of the London fire
depratratuatis about sllBo,ooo
The direct cost to the city treasury of the
Philadelphia fire department for the present
r i ar , Jo 4118,000. If the work wee per-
formed as economically here as it is per
formed in London, the entire cost would be
but $BO,OOO, the men who, per
form the labotions duty of extinguishing fires
wouldreceive just pay for their services, and
the community Would be relieved of the tax
ation that is levied in a hundred ways as an
unavoidable contingent of -ar--volunteer- -fire
department In our, statements of facts and
intrenees from them we have made no Men
tion of the importance of system, strict su
bordination, thorough effidency, and to the
police features of the respective fire systems.
Their importance is . well understood and ap
preciated by all who are at all familiar with
the subject.
NEW JZICSJEW.
When New Jersey, redeemed for a time
from the rule of a sham Democracy, returned,
in the strong language of Holy Writ, "to her
wallowing in the mire," she set about mark
ing her relapse by> a piece of legislation
which for malignant stupidity could not
easily be surpassed. Her Legislature, eager
to renew her allegiance to the powers of
slavery and rebellion, undertook to revoke
the act by which New Jersey ratified the
Fourteenth Article of the Constitution. Of
course, Governor Ward vetoed this illegal
and outrageous bill, and it was then passed
over his veto, and notice of this action was
sent to. CongreTs.
Congress has dealt with this impudent mes
sage as it deserved, and has ordered it to be
returned, without allowing it a place in the
Journal of the House or in the Congres
sional Globe. This prompt and severe ac
tion was neither more prompt nor more severe
than the case deserved. New Jersey had no
shadow of right to withdraw her assent to the
Amendment, and Mr. Washhurne was quite
right in stigmatizing the attempt, whatever
the precise language may have been, as "dis
respectful and scandalous." •
The attempts of the Democratic members
to 'avert the action of the House were foiled
by the accurate rulings of the always-ready
Speaker, who decided that it was, not neces
sary to complete the reading of the document
before returning it, as the resolution of Mr.
Washburne assumed that enough of A had
already been read to establish its "disrespect
ful and scandalous " character. We are glad
that this rebuke. has been administered and
this precedent established. It was worthy of
the New Jersey Democracy to offer the in-,
suit to Congress and to the sentiments of a
free country ; and it was to have been ex
pected that it would be promply resented by
Congress, as was done yesterday.
JETA W 0 ODSIIIEN.
There was a very singular disturbance on
Sunday last at one of the churches in this city,
to which we do not desire to give any addi
tional notoriety. Such controversies are best
settled at hcme. But there is one feature of
the case so peculiar, and yet so strongly
illustrative of a well-known fact, that it may
be briefly alluded to. The origin of the diffi
culty between the pastor and his people, is
stated in this wise: Mr. T. was fresh from
Alabama. On - retiring to his bed-chamber
the first night after his arrival he was accom
panied by his host, one of the trustees.
"When you wish to put ont the gas, Mr.
Tharin," said the trustee, you must turn it off
thus—not blow it out." Mr. Tharin nodded.
"When you wish water," continued the trus
tee, going toward the stationary wash-stand,
"you must pull the spigot around (law and
in order to stop the water you must return it
titror. When• you want the water to flow
out of the basin, you must raise the little
chain thuB."
This should scarcely have been a sufficient
ca. us Celli. The inhabitants of Alabama
and other Southern States are not apt to be
very intimate with the mysteries of gas and
water fixtures. They are not generally ac
customed to the comforts and conveniences
of Northern civilization, and although there
are many of them who would not blow out
the gas or nee a water-spigot as a pump-han
dle, there are a great many more of them
who would. It is one of the most
striking of all the social and do
mestic distinctions between the North and
the South, that over much the greater part of
the latter section of the country, very little
advance has been made upon the primitive
simplicity of the backwoods, while at the
North there is, in every little village or
hamlet or country hothe, more of the modern
appliances of
. substantial comfort and real
refinement of living, than are to be found upon
the richest plantations or in the largest com
munities of the South.
Ve South, under the genial influences of
its ew institution of freedom, will rapidly
learn.- the art and science of comfortable liv
ing, but it is yet in its earliest pupilage, and
until there is a general introduction of the sol
clal and domestic habits of the North, South
erners have no very great came to be of
fended if their Northern hosts venture to give
them a little mild and necessary instruction
in the use of things which are comparatively
unknown in the unreconstructed portions of
the land.
The progress of the preliminaries to the
impeachment trial, of the trial itself and its
effect upon public credit, is a splendid tri
umph for republican institutions. The crimes
of Mr. Johnson have been a - thousand-fold
more disastrous in their influence upon the
prosperity of the country than were the
offences of Charles L to the welfare of ,(Treat
Britain. But there were no means for re
dress in the case of the oppresaive Stuart but
revolution, and nolafety for the revolutionists
but in decapitation of the king. Our repub
lican Constitution provides a peaceful remedy
for our grievances, and the delegated
authorities are now quietly pursuing- it,.
without in the slightest degree affecting that
most delicate of all tests of public alarm and
imp abillt:Eß, the money market. Had Andrew
Johnson occupied the throne of the Stuarts
in the Seventeenth century, an outraged peo
ple would have clamored for his head before
he had gone to the extremity which culmi
nated in his recent acts. In the Nineteenth
century, as the renegade executive of a free
country, he will be expelled from the place
he disgraces; but he will bo allewea. to _go
borne to Tennessee with his head upon his
shoulders, and the country will be pacified,
and confidence will be restored by his expu.l

ixecution of William Donavan..
apex:Jai Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Ballettn.l
YORK, Pa., March 31.—A practical exemplifi-
cation of the words of Holy Writ, "Whosoever
elieddtth man's blood, by man, shall his blood
be dad," was witnessed at this town to-day, in
the execution of William Donavan, who was
arrested, tried and convicted of the cold-blooded
murder of , the Squibb family, and this morning
paid the renalty of his high crime by an igno
minious death on the scaffold.
As a comprehensive statement of the murder
and its surroundings has recently been published
in the BULLETIN, it but remains for your COlTUS
pondent to raise the curtain on the last act of
the terrible tragedy which has for some time
past so excited the community hereabouts, and
which resulted in the untimely death of three
innocent persons and one guilty wretch.
At an early hour this morning the streets of
York gave indications of something unusual in
progress. Small knots of persons could he seen
at the different street corners, discussing the
great event of the day, and as the time wore on,
considerable public commotion was
visible. The main topic of con
versation during the morning was the conflict
ing opinion as to the guilt or innocence of Dona
van. Many can be found who express grave
doubts as to his guilt. The circumstances of the
hatchet being found with marks of blood upon
it, deecribed in a former issue of the &mama,
and his former threats againat the Squibb family,
are the strongest Troints against him.
Yesterday afternoon he accounted for the find
ing of the hatchet by stating to the jailor that ho
desired to have same poles cut, and called his
little son to perform the work. lie was about
to sharpen his hatchet for his son when he
noticed something unusual on the han
dle, and an appearance of slime, or
some animal- matter on the steel. He
asked his son if he had bees cutting the head of a
turkey off on Sunday, With the hatchet, bat his
son said "no." He then told the. boy that he
heard that the Squibb family were
murdered, and cautioned him, as
that, as he lost one hatchet, to be very care
ful where he placed this one after cutting the
poles. This, he stated, accounted for the finding
of the hatchet where it was discovered, and its
condition when found. Ho said that towards
evening the Duttons, a man and wife,
came out to him in the field, and he
'then quit work and went home with them.
'When ho got there, he found John Boyle talking
with his wife. The Duttons and Boyle left
shortly afterwardb. Ho asked what brought
' Boyle there, and his wife said he came after
the hatchet lent to his son, and ho did not want
hinf(Donavan)to see it,as the Stpaibbs were going
to search the house, when he said, "let them
come;" ho said that his wife said she did not know
whore William left the hatchet; he then remarked
to his-*wifer that - he - bad - seen' - the - haitchet;
and there was something on it not
right. He said that on the Saturday before the
murder ho was out plowing; when his son John
came to him and told him that Edward Boyle
wanted the grubbing-hoe, and ho told him to toll
hie mother not to give it, as he wanted if.
He went after it himself, and found
that she had not given it to , Boyle;
be then picked up the hatchet and said, "To the
devil with the grubbing hoe;" and went away, on
Thursday or Friday before the murder, he said
be was walking during a ruin and saw Ed. Boyle
and his wife talking together , again, and his wife,
naked Boyle whore he got his cabbage plants,
and he said he got them at Squibb's.
He then asked how the Squibbs' were, getting
sahmg, and Boyle said they looked , as thoughthey
'had money, and his wife said, "Well, you don't
have as much money as you did at Rarrishutg-."
Boyle said, "There is a bureau at Squtbb's.
and it would not take long to pick IL"
On Sunday, 'the day after the murder, he
said bia wife bad sewed the patches on the knees
of the pants that so , much had been said about
during the trial. He Bald that be wont to Dar
ton's on Sunday morning, and when he got back
he found tho Bola; at his house. Then theDat
ton's arrived and remained until even
kg. The Boyles and Donavan went
out to look at his farm and on getting to the
shlti_er thejailLEst_litiylo_started off at full
speed and left him. The old man Boyle and he
walked buck to We iaonge, . apd just se be reached
the door Mr. Boyle left suddenly. lie sayir be
then went to bed, and remained there all night.
After waking the above statement to your cor
respondent, the priests, Fathers Murray, Bur
meister and Maher, entered and spent he balance
of the evening with the prisoner. His manner
until he retired last night about 12 o'clock, was
cool, dogged and determined, and no efforts of
his spiritual advisers could get a confession from
him.
Be rose this morning betimes, and ate a mode
rate breakfast, after which ho had a very affecting
interview with his wife, his children not.
being present. Ills wife remained with him
until nearly 8 o'clock, when she retired to give
way to the priests, who administered the Holy
Sacrament to the prisoner, during which his
- wife walked, disconsolately up and down the cor
ridor of the prison, a brown veil biding her fea
tures from all gazers.
The immediate preparation for the execution,
under the direction of Sheriff Jesse Engles, com
menced shortly before 11 o'clock, when the mili
tary, consisting of two companies, called the
"Siege/ Guards" and "York Zouaves," arrived at
the prison, a fine brown stone building on the
outskirts of the town. The scaffold was erected
near the centre of the prison yard. and could not
be seen from any point outside. It is the same
one used In Lancaster in 1858, to hang two
negrces. and contains a drop platform worked
by. a roller and bolts. ,•
A large crowd gathered ou the outside of the
prison, composed of men, women and children,
and the military have their time occupied in
pressing back the throng from the prison gates.
During the morning °rumor was circulated and
generally credited that the Governor would grant
Donavan a respite, but there was no real ground
for the report,.
At half•past'll o'clock, Sheriff Engles, accom
panied by the deputy sheriffs, and the reporters of
the pnblit press, entered the cell of the con
demned man, and one of, the priests proceeded
with some religions rites.
The condemned man was dressed in casalmere
pants and a blue jacket. He held an ebony cru
cifix in his hand, and kept repeating, " The Lord
have mercy on me," and in a penitent manner
threw his eyes heavenward.. A alight tremor weis
visible in his frame, yet he was wonder
fully collected under the 'circumstances. EC
submitted to the placing of the 1100 Fe, around his
neck, without apparent emotion, still keeping his
eyes heavenward. Ills arms were pinioned in
the cell, and during the entire time he
kept muttering praises to the -Deity.
Exactly at twenty minutes to twelve o'clock
the procession was formed; the prisoner,
supported by fathers .Murray and Burmeister, and
holding before himself the cross, emerged from
the eell, and was followed by the sheriff and
deputy-sheriff and the reporters. During 'the
walk to the scaffold be kept repeating: "Tile
Lord be merciful to me: Lord have mercy, on me;
God tilers my wife, 0,:c."
Ile ascended the scaffold with a, firm step, still
muttering to himself. After he reached the scaf
fold, the Sheriff asked him If be had anything to
say, for now was the time to do it. The con
demned then faced the assembled crowd and
spoke as follows : "I here stand in the presence
of the Saviour of the world, and I am as innocent
of the murder as the Saviour of the world is. , I
don't know who done if;_ I was in my bed on
Sunday night,and don't know anything about the
71%6172
89,71
18",;
While the Sheriff was fixing the black cap. the
prisoner turned to him and thanked him (or the
many acts of kindness he had received from him.
Ile then said. "God be with you all ; you are
hanging an innocent man; God bless my wife
2131 children; I will see_ them hereafter."
The platform was then cleared and the poor
wretch stood on the brink of eternity. A mo. ,
!mutes pause,and the Sheriff pulled the platform
from under, and the body of. Wm. Donavan
hung in mid air. His neck was broken
by the fall, and he died a remarkably easy death.
There was a scarcely preceptible movement of
the legs, and all war; over. The body was left
harnzing the usual tlme,and was then taken down
for interment.

Mr. Oen lack (Ohio) remarked that the Conference Conn

in regard to the lumber and breadetuffs interest. lie ex
plain. d what he understood by unmanufactured lumber
to be the lumber in the rough, or having peened through a
mill without haying undergone any second process.
Mr. Ferry (Mich.hwho was a member of the Conference

not proper for him to allow what bad been

the same defiiition of the phrase 'unman U.

If be were to give his individual opinion

of any kit d. as for instance. peeling through a plan lig
mill, a dreseing machine, or a small as eing machine,

took the stand to testify as to the difference be

passage of the tenure of office act.
Mr. Stanbery arose and asked Mr. Butler the
meaning of the testimony of this witness.

Treasury Department to recognize this act as

TIIIRU DESPATCLI.•I
WAsurm.roN, March 31.—The proceedings
during the examination were almost devoid of
interest, being conducted in so low a tone as .
often to be inaudible in the gallery, and the
questions and answers were frequently required
to be repeated by Senators, who were unable to,
hear.
, The Hon. Burt Van Horn was the next witness.
He was examined as to the interview at which
himself and several other Congressmen were pre
sent, when Gen. Thomas made a formal demand
upon Secretary Stanton for possession of the
War Office as (Secretary ad interim. He read
from a printed copy of the evidence he had pre
vionsly given before the Committee on Recon-:
straction.
In cross-exatpining, Mr. Stanbery asked .what
was Mr Van Horn's business at the War Depart-.
ment on that occasion.
Mr, Van Horn answered, that ho went to see
Mr. Stanton, and in reply to a further qngstion
lag, he said his visit was owing to the interest he'
took in the subject of the removal of Mr. &ante*
and that he went in company with two others.
Mrt Stanbefritsked if he went prepared to take
notes, and was answered that the witness bad a
white envelope in his pocket and was is the habit
of carrying a lead pencil.
Mr. Stanbery continued at length his ques
tions about the notes of the conversation taken'
by Mr. Van Horn, and what became of them, the
object of his cross-examination seeming .
to'be
with a view to showing that the matter was pre
concerted, and not accidental on the part of the
witness and other Congressmen.

arrested here a few days since, confesses to-day

f Mr. Putter then called for the reading of the Lotter of
authority given to Mr. Cooper by the president on the :Id
of December. The witness testified that Mr. Chandler
resigned, be thought, a day or two before the date of this
letter.
Cr( er.examined by Mr. Curtis—Witness stated that the
date when toe change to the form of com Mission was
made was on the 6th of March. 1867.
.. . . . .. . . . . .
Burt ' an Herm member of the House of Representa
three, stated th at .he was present at the War Depart
iht nt on Saturday, 22d of February. 1803. at 2 minutes
plat 11 o'cloCk, when Lorenzo Thomas demanded of Mr.
Canton possession of the office of Secretary of. War. lie
testified that Thomas. after eat-hanging salutations with
the sr present, said to Mr. Stanton ; "I amflecretary of War
ad Octal/7N appointed and authorized by the President
to take preemie"' of the office, sir. Stanton ordered him
to repair to his room and perform his duties as Assistant
Adjutant• General, which he refused to do. saying he ie.
tended to exercise the functions of Secretary of War.extd
would re diva the rr ails of the Department. Mr. Stanton
told him that he would do so at his peril. Mr. Thomas
left the room, and witness last taw him in the room of
Gen. Shriver. The witness took notes at the time.
On cross-examination by Mr. Stanbory, the witness
said he went there to pay a visit to Mr. Stanton on public
business. He was accompanied by3fesars. Moorhead and'
Clark, and did not know ii hat their business was; they
did not state what they went for. He was not in the habit .
of taking memos andante of conversations, but was pre
pared by • baying a large envelope in his pocket
no one I eqnested him to do eo, It was about two minut-e
after Thomas left the 'room that Mr. Stanton followed .
him. Before ho reached ths , room he heard conversation •
going on bride between Mr. Stanton and Thomas. but
I aid not understand what was said. He did notknotv '
I where the envelope was on which he took the memo.
ratda. It was probably destroyed. He had the original
no as copied by a young man, but
did net • know what had become of
th e copy. qhe paper he road from was his printed '
evidence before the Committee of the House. Do kept
the copy until after he bad given his testimony. Before
the committee did not know what took place .between
Stanton and Thomas. The memoranda made on the
envelope was not a complete record, but covered all the
points which be considered important.
He did not use short-hand, ho did not hear Stan tonTaak -
Thomas whether lie wished him (Stanton) to give up at
once or take time to manage his papers., lathe that part
of the conversation Thomas said ho did' not with, any
unpleasantness between them.
Mr. J. K. Moorehead, a member of the Molise, was then
called. Bed testified that ho was present with the
witness just sworn, at the Departmept, at the time
referred to. lie said he went with Stanton to
Shriver'm room, and was requested by. Stanton to take
notice of the question ho was about to ask Thomas,
which was whether he intended to obey his (Stanton's)
orders , as Secretary of War. Thomas replied that ho did
not. Thomas ciao said be intended to receive the mails '
and acknowledged to witness that ho had said so.
(,'rose-examined by Mr. btanbery—witness had been
st the department half an hour before Thomas came ; lie
was not attended, nor was he armed, so far as witness
could see; witness thought there had beep some conver
letion between Stanton and Thomas in Shivers's room,
before be entered; it was of a good-natured detractor;
he thought the re bad been some.
Walter A. Burleigh, delegate trout Dakotan, was called '
and examined.
2dr. Stanbes ry wanted to know the objector this extunt
nation as to the conversation between the witness and
General Thomas.
General Buller replied it was to show that the `intent
and purpose of Mr. Menials was to take possession of the
War Department by force. '
Mr. Stanberry objected to the testimouy, and the (Mee-'
Eon was sustained DY 'Le Cold Justice.
Mr. Drake said the question ehould be submitted to the
S ena te. and s ppe tiled from the decision of the Chair.
The Chief Justice said it was hie duty E.° to rule.
Mr. Drake remarked that there was nothing to give the
Chief Justice that right: - .. ,- • , - --;,-- - 71 -
Mr.
could
not deb t
Drake to order on the ground
that he could not debate the question. , .

A abort time since a young man named Crow, living in
Williamson county.~ rode tip to the little village of 434 r

lie appears to have been in a sportive meal, .and, at
tempted to ride over a group of colored men who were
standing in front of one of the houses. After chashmone
of them Into an adjoining lot, he turned upon another
who caught his horse by the bridle, -remarking, "You
can't run over. me." Crow drew his- pis
tol, and cocked it in the face of the colored
man, who, to escape, sprang behind the horse.,
whereupon the young de•perado wheeled and shot hint
dead. A coroner's jury woo summoned, an inquest held
upon the remains of the murdered man, and a verdict-of
accidental shooting rendered. 7he negro wee a carpen
ter, a peaceable. hardworking Men, who was universally
reopected by his rare for Ms excellent qualities.
This Is but one of the many instances of recklesenears In
taking the lives of colored people which are corwtantly
occurring all over the State of Tennessee. The perpetra
tors, in almost all cases, get off scot free, actin the present
case.
