CITY I'ItINT/N(i.
Now that the election is,ovor and our eiti
zons have quietly settled dow)i to the result,
we wish to call attention to the fact that the
Council Proceeding:l,ot the past year have not
Keen published in a way calculated to inform
(ho great body of 'tax-payers as to what was
going on in Council, We look at this ques
tion from this stand-point. The Council Pr?-
euedisigs are required by law to be published.
Should not those proceedings be given to the
public in the papers having the largest eircula•
tion in this city? Will any business man
claim that these proceedings should be p u b.
fished in a paper having thd stualleit eircula
lion?
‘‘IOI these questions before ut, %Ant would
n fair business man do? IV° answer that he
would have those proceedings published in the
political papers of either party, provided that
no Neutral paper had a circulation larger than_
either of the political papers. ,
In order to solve the question as to whether
any Neutral paper in this city lies as large a
circulation as the LADLE, the proprietors of
the EAo►,a aro willing to compare subscription
lists and make affidavits thereto. We claim
that our subscription list is more than three, i
not four times larger than that of the Neutral
paper in this city. `:
__No submit that the city printing should be
Riven to the Emmy: and Dispatch, because they
are papers rend by the great mnjoiity of the
tax-payers, both Democrats and Republicans,

The Journal of this morning, in its editoria

Do yon believe the administrations of James
Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, General Jackson

What do you think of the purchase of Alas

Would it be profitable to the City of Read

The following letter from Gen. Win. Mc-
Candless, whose name is prominently men•
tioned in connection with the Gubernatorial
nomination, will be of interest to our
readers. If other prominent Democrats, in
times gone by, had been equally magnanimous,
the Democratic party would have been more
successful than it has been for some time
past :

J. WARREN CONARD,
My Dear Sir :--1 have had the honor to
read in your edition of the 4th inst., an article
on the question of Ooveinor, and for the kind
expression of regard therein contained, rela•
live to myself, I thank you.
In this contest I am- entirely unselfish, and
young enough to be unagnaninious.
If ileneral Hancock will agree to accept the
nomination of our perky, my first act shall be
to decline being a candidate,and ask my friends
to wheel into lino and support him.
Tho Democratic party should have Icarme \ tl
by. the bitter experience of the last foty Vears,
that it cannot, in either State orNational . Con•
vention, ignore its active, living element with.
out incarring defeat.
Yours truly,
W.M. MCCANDLESS.
SPAT); has declared that henceforth no slave
shall be held on Spanish soil. Thmi surely
passes away the barbarism of our century ; and
we may justly take credit for our great share
ht the glorious work. The first blow on the
shackles of the Spanish slaves came from the
pikes of old John Brown.—Faller Abraham.
As none of John Brown's usdless pikes were
ever used to strike a blow at any one, we fail
to sea how they could have produced such
wondrous results in ,Spain. 'Brown's pikes
xvere made for him by

entirely worthless, and as great a humbug. as
Brown himself. Saints must be-scarce in the
Radical party, when they attempt to canonize
such a crazy horse-thief and murderer as Old
John Brown.

Buckwalter, Elliot ak, Shultz, three years ago
It was-a qUestion df serious doubt whether a
daily newspaper in this city would pay, before
the Dispatch was started. The Dispatch has
solved this doubt. It is now a good paying
paper. Some time since Mr. Buck waiter with

OTTAWA, Feb. IL—Jame'S Whalen, the al•
leged murderer of the lion. Thomas D'Arey
McGee, Minister of Agriculture for the slew
Government of Canada, was executed upon
the gallows this morning at a few minutes past
11 o clock, in the town of Ottawa, Canada.
The prisoner had, up to a few days ago.conditet•
ed himaelf with great unconcern, and even in
dulged in ribaldry and obscene jesting in view
of his end. It was thought be indulged hopes,
almost to the very last, that he would not be
hung. Early in the morning people began to
assemble outside the jail, in Stewart street,
eager to witness the revolting scene, manifest
ing that morbid curiosity which many, both
men and women, always exhibit on such oc
casions. ' By 10 o'clock the'streets were crowd
ed with in heterogerioua mob, told many per
sons had perched themselves on the tope of
the houses in the vicinityl for the purpo4o of
obtaining a better view. The morning was dull
and cloudy, with a drifting snow from the east.
At 101 j o'clock it was estimated there were at
least 7,000 persons in the vicinity. 1 Distuib
anee, and an attempt at rescue had been feared,
and precautions taken to prevent it. Eyery•
thing passed off quietly., _ Inside the jail a
select company had been admitted, including
Sheriff Powell, Jail Governor Powell, Sheriff
Temple, of Frcdericktown, New Brunswick
Drs.-Bell, Van Courtlandt, Conover, Sweet
land, Mr. ' Frazer, and others. The Sheriff
wore his uniform and sword. The guard, in
side and out, consisted of regular soldiers.
The arrangements for quelling any attempt at
rescue were very complete. Various surieWes
were freely itirculated in the crowd as to how
Whalen would deport himself in the emergen
cy. Some said ho had fully made up his mind
to confess, while others were sure ho :would
implicate some other party, and furnish the
public with enother feast of horrors.At was
earnestly hoped by the more) thoughtfo and
considerate that at least some light_ would be
thrown upon the mystery, and that he would
tell who had fired the fatal shot, if he did not.
At twenty minutes before 11 o'clock the fa
vored few were - admitted to the leading-place
on the, scaffold. At this moment not an inch
of space within view of the scaffold was un
occupied. The -suspense was intense. At a
few• minutes after 11 o'clock itho door of the
corridor opened, and the sblemn voice .of
Fathdr O'Connor was heard in earnest prayer
for, the domed man. The prisoner . as
cended the steps to the scaffold in company
with the officials and three Catholic pfiests.
Whalen walked firmly and.erect, and seemed
but:little moved. lie was dressed in a suit of
black, with boots carefully blacked, and his
whole toilet made with the utmost care. IL.
wore a green silk necktie. Aithe walked up ;
ho was repeating in unison with his confessor
and spiritual adviser,' "Lord have mercy on
us." A death-like stillness reigned through.
out the great multitude as -Whalen stepped up-
on the drop, and remained firm and upright,
almost righl,while the fatal noose was mbusted.
The executioner-stood at'his left side, clad in
a blue calico jacket and pants, and a red and
white striped cap, his face masked with black
crape. When the rope was adjusted,. Whalen
was asked by the Sheriff if he had anything to
say—when he made the following remarks:
"I beg pardon for any offence I may kayo
committed: I forgive all parties who have in•
(jiired le, and I ask forgiveness of all whom I
may h ve injured. fled save Ireland, and God
save 9 y soul!"
The signal was then given and the drop fell
at 11. 1 15 A. M., precisely. 'the wife of Whalen
visited him yesterday, and was with him up to
the lime of his execution. She seemed to have
suffered greatly;and• was very bitter toward the
is
authorities. It reported that Whalen made j
a full written statement, which ho gave into the
custody of the Sheriff, and which has not
yet been made public.-7'rfbune. 1
