WEDNESDAY,
Mar-h 1, 18TJ.
On the 20tb day of Ma nest, all
the Assessors and Assistant Assess
ors of Internal Revenue in the United
States will be mustered out of per
vice, their offices being abolished from
that date. It is said that these ofli
eials number about fifteen hundred.
The Republicans of NVv Hamp
shire have elected their candidate for
Governor by a reduced majority.
There were four candidates in the
field, representing the Republican,
Democratic, Liberal, and Temperance
candidates. The Republicans bare
also a large majority in the Legislature.
Skcrf.tary Dovtweli. has been! That a bill, appropriating five mill

the Treasury in Mr. Roitwell's
place is just now exercising the guess
ing powers of the politicians of the
nation.
A bill is on its way through the
Legislature, having already passed
the Senate, abolishing the State tax
on horses, cattle, trades, occupations,
Ac, generally known as personal pro
perty. There is no doubt of its pass
age through the House also. Our
farmers and mechanics will then be
frecd from all State tares, and will be
taxed only for County purposes.
The annual report of the directors
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, just
published, shows the gross earnings
of that railway and its branches, for
the last year, between Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh, to amount to the
enormous sum of $22,012,525 27
The
expenses were $13,763,672 00; leav
ing the clear net earnings, $8,247.
852 18; showing an increase over
1871, of over $3,292,688 42.
The bill apportioning the State
into Congressional districts, which
will be found in another column, pass
ed the House on Friday last, and,
judging from the way it was rushed
through that body, will pass the Sen
ate as "set np." As our readers will
observe, our district remains as at
present, with Adams county stricken
off. As Rcdford and Franklin have
got into the habit of giving Republi
can majorities, the district is certainly
as safe a one as the most timid could
wish.
The contested election ease in Lu
zerne county has just closed. It will
be remembered that the Democratic
election officers in one w ard returned
a majority of 1,500 for their candid
ates, when there were but 4C7 voters
registered in the ward. The in
vestigation before the Court conclu
sively established these frauds by
Democratic election officers; and, as
a result, two Republicans and two
Democrats were declared elected to
county offices that had been counted
out The investigation disclosed the
extensive and astounding frauds that
were practiced by the Democrats in
order to defeat General Hartranft and
the whole Republican ticket. Just
think of it! Only 4C7 voters register
ed, and yet the Democratic majority
was about 1,500. This multiplication
of registered voters in Scranton is
unsurpassed in the history of election
frauds. Here was "accumulative"
voting, with
a vengeance!
A mono the items in the approrapi
tion bill, so indecorously rushed
through the House at Harrisburg, on
Thursday last, is an item increasing
the pay of members for this session,
from one thousand dollars to fifteen
hundred dollars. This is only in ac
cordance with the action of the late
Congress, but it is therefore none the
less unjustifiable and criminal. It is
a flagant violation of an implied con
tract made with the people when they
were elected, that, for services during
this session, each member was to re
ceive one thousand dollars, and the
increase can not be justified on any
--round of propriety or common hon
esty. The bill was Lurried through
the House without a call of the yeas
and nays, and thereby individual
members hope to escape responsibility.
The corrective, however, is in the
hands of the Seaatc, and we hope to
see it applied.
Among the proceedings of the Con
stitutional convention we find the fol
lowing: Constitutional provisions were in
troduced and referred to committees,
as follows: By Mr. Raer, of Somer
set, to divide the State upon the ba
sis of population, into six Senatorial
districts, of w hich Philadelphia shall
always be one: each district to elect
six Senators, and each voter to vote
for not more than four -erson3, and
the six persons highest in rotes to be
declared elected: To constitute the
House of Representatives of 200 mcm
liers, to be elected from districts based
npon population. Districts to be form
ed or compact and contiguous terri
tory. !
It is singular that Democrats, who,
when in power, never once thought of
the rights of minorities, have all been
bitten by Bcckalew's tarantula, cu
mulative voting, and are now so anx
ious to secure representation for the
minority. With all due regard for
Mr. Baer's superior judgment, and
apart from the cumulative voting hum
bag portion of LU proposed provision,
we assert that it is wreng in princi
ple, and tfould be worse in practice.
We want direct, immediate, personal
responsibility in the matter of our leg
islators, and the smaller the constitu
encies they represent, and the closer
they are brought in contact with them,
the more they will feel their individ
ual responsibility. Half a dozen Sen
ators elected from a district compris
ing one Biith of the State, are too far
removed from the people, even though
they be scattered through the district,
to feel the near responsibility they
would to a smaller constituency; and
moreover, the local interests and
wants of such large districts are too
diversified, and ofttimcs antagonistic,
to be properly and satisfactorily rep
resented in the manner Migettcd by
his provision. True, the two hundred
members proposed for the House,
would give immediate, almost per
sonal representation; but so long as a
law is required to receive the sanction
of a majority of both Houses, we in
sist on a near responsibility for Sena
tors. The advantage, or utility of
such large districts wc utterly fail to
sec, while a score of other objections
can be filed against them.
All reports from Harrisburg agree
in the allegation that the general ap
propriation bill was railroaded through
the IToupp. on Thurstlur last, with
; most indecorous siM'cd.
tion, or have
been voted upon intel-
ligently by
a large majority of the
mcmlKTS. This kind of
legislation is
' most culpable, a3 well as disgraceful,
proving that body to be not only defi
cient in dignity, but lacking a sense
of responsibility and accountability to
the people, whom it was elected to
represent.
Fortunately, a counterpoise to this
reckless and turbulent body is to Iks
found in the Senate, and to it wc con
fidently look for a deliberate consid
eration and scrutiny of a measure so
important as the appropriation of five
million of dollars of the Common
wealth's moner.
Colonel Scott made a brief state
ment at the meeting of the stockhold
ers of the Pennsylvania Railroad the
j other day, that is almost startling in
its pithy exhibit, of the magnitude of
the business of that gigantic corpora
tion. He said :
The President in his report shows
you in one item alono that he will
need the present year in the State of
ev Jersey over $5,000,000. c
shall need in our own State nearly
$19,000,000 to meet the constantly in
creasing demands upon the Company.
When you take into consideration the
simple fact that every four years from
1857 the business of the Pennsyl
vania Rairoad has doubled on the
preceding four years, you will under
stand that the wants of the Company
are becoming greater constantly.
Thus if we have 700 locomotives and
20,000 cars on the line in active busi
ness, in four years from now, at the
same ratio of business wc are making
now, we will want 1,400 locomotives
and 40,000 cars, and we want the
money to procure them. The object
of this enlargement of the stock is set
clearly out in the report, and I would
like the stockholders to understand
that this Company does not intend
to water its stock, but intends t J pre
sent to every stockholder a dollar
for every dollar of stock he owns,
and something in the shape of div
idends besides.
And now conies another propoei-
tion from the Committee on the Judi
ciarv in the Constitutional Conven
tion, favoring big districts and cumu
lative voting. In the first place, it
proposes to include the counties of
Somerset, Fayette, Washington and
Greene in a judicial district, which
will elect a majority of Democratic
judges under the following section of
the "Article on the Courts of Com
mon ricas:"
Section. At the general election
in the year one thousand eight hun
dred and seventy-three, and every
tenth year hereafter, the qualified
voters of each district aforesaid, shall
elect three judges, citizens of this
Commonwealth, qualified as afore
said, and in electing the same, each
voter may distribute his votes among
candidates as he shall think fit, may
concentrate them upon one, or divide
them equally between two, and candi
dates highest in vote shall le declar
ed elected. The aforesaid judges,
during their continuance in office,
shall reside within the district for
which they shall be respectively
elected, and when more than one
county shall compose a district, they
shall so alternate in holding courts in
the several counties composing the
district, that the same judge shall not
sit oftener than once in every third
successive regular term of the courts
to be holdcn in said county, unless
for some unavoidable cause it shall
be rendered impracticable. Courts
in banc shall be held by the judges
of every district or a majority of them,
at least once in every year in each coun
ty, at such times and for the transac
tion of such business as may be pre
scribed by law; when holdinrcourts
in banc the judge oldest in commis
sion, or the oldest in commission and J
senior in age, shall preside.
Apart from our heretofore mention
ed objection to huge di3tricts, and the
cumulative voting iraggot at present
preying on the brains of certain mem
bers of the Convention, is the delay
of justice w hich this proposed rota
tion of judges will produce, an evil
now felt in a minor way in this dis
trict, by reason of having two law
judges presiding at difft rent intervals
over our courts. A comity, necessary
or otherwise, prevents one judge from
interfering with, reviewing, or in any
way disposing of a cause which has
been tried before, or passed upon by
his fellow; consequently, all unfinish
ed bnsinesH, motions for new trial, de
ferred sentences, Ac, in cases or mat
ters tried or heard before one judge,
arc necessarily continued and deferred
until he again resumes the bench in
this portion of the district
Now, under this proposed section,
these evils would be greatly magnifi
ed, in fact, would almost become a
nuisance both to the profession and
the people. As the alternating of the
three judges is made imperative, all
unfinished business must necessarily
go over for three terms; and, as courts
in banc would probably 1c held not
oftener than once a year, it would al-
taken up by one judge and postponed
iuwoi, uvrcnimmy iohow, that a case
for cause during the trial, or not dis
posed or hnally for any cause, could
not be got before the Supreme Court
within a period of two years.
Why not give us a judge in each
county T Then causes could speedily
be tried, and justice administered,
without the law's proverbial delaj.

TUEASl'HY CHANGES.
The election of Secretary Routwell
to the U. S. Senate for the unexpired
four years of Vice President Wilson's
term is the leading Upic of conversa
tion here. The transfer of Mr. Bout
well is regretted generally, beeause he
was by all parties, except those whose
political bias rendered their opinions
one-sided, esteemed the right man in
the right place. Hisopenly expressed
desire to be relieved from "the position
after four years of arduous labor had
prepared the minds of our citizens
to accept the change as one he had an
unquestioned right to seek. He has
established a policy for the next four
years of the Treasury portfolio,
whoever may be its head, and no
one will fear that any radical change
will be attempted. There is more
discussion here about the Assistant
Secretaries than there is in regard to
the Head of the Department. No
one seems to be at all certain as to
who President Grant will take into
his cabinet, as this is a matter with
him of personal choice in great
measure. Many think that the pro
motion of Assistant Secretary Rich
ardson is a foregone conclusion ; but
though the President in the past has
paid little regard to sectional appoint
ments, some think, now that Massa
chusetts has the Vice President and
some of the larger States are without
representation in the Cabinet, that
Judge Richardson will retain his
present post, while some distinguished
politician will be made Secretary of
the Treasury. 1 he present enicicnt
Chief Clerk Mr. J. H. Saville, is an
aspirant to one of the Assistant
Secretaryships, and it is generally
supposed, w hether Judge Richardson
remains as the head or first Assistant,
that the place of Mr. Hartley will be
vacated. There is no certainty in
this, nowever, as Mr. Hartley, though
appointed under a Democratic Ad
ministration, has lieen very quiet and
unobtrusive, and has jicrhaps, more
experience in the business than any
other Treasury Official.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
The election of a full Democratic
delegation in Congress for the State
of New Hampshire is no gain to the
opposition, as they have had the
three members in the last Congress;
but the falling off of the vote shows
significantly that Republicans there
have taken the bait prepared by the
opposition. Manj Republicans have
stayed away from the polls, because
the- were dissatisfied with what has
lx-en done or left undone by Congress.
The Legislature being Republican
and the Governor haviug to be chos
en by a Republican House, the dom
inant party may fed well satisfied
with the xlalii quo which will lie
thus maintained in this, one of the
most doubtful of the States.
niUTISH CHANOE OF MINISTRY.
The defeat of the Liberal ministry
in England and the resignation of
Gladstone with a possible success of
the Conservative party is among the
interesting subjects of gossip. The
vote against the Irish University bill
appears to have been a complete sur
prise to the ministry, and to have re
sulted more from a combination of fa
voring circumstances than from any
unpopularity of the Liberals.
KI N ON A BANK.
Quite a scare has taken place
among the depositors of the Washing
ton Savings bnnk here. For three
days a line has been formed in front
of their office and it has now dwin
dled to a small crowd around the
door. The cause appears to have
been misapprehensions in the infer
ence drawn from Comptroller Knox's
report regarding technical violations
of its charter by the Company. The
fact is that the charter had long been
abandoned and the Company was
working under a private organiza
tion. It is a fact, however, that
Savings Banks, as well as Building
Associations in the District are run
without always being incorporated
and properly subjected to periodical
official reports. This should be re
formed, and all such institutions
should be compelled to conform to the
terms of a general incorporation law
of the District Legislature. Depos
its are now being returned to the
bank in question.
CHANGING Gtt01.NI.
The Louisville Courier Journal
and the Cincinnati Crmmrrcial, two
leading papers of the opposition, have
withdrawn charges implicating ex
Vice President Colfax in any dis
honorable conduct regarding the
Credit Mobilier matter, and President
Grant has written hi in a letter as
suring him of his unabated faith in
his integrity. His own people on his
return also endorsed him in the most
flattering manner on his return to
South Bend.

Knoxville, III., March 14.
John W. Os1ome, the murderer of
Mrs. Adelia Matthews, was hanged
in the jail yard here at one o'clock to
day. Previous to the execution he
wrote out a full confession of his
crime.
Cincinnati, March 14.-The Times'
Knoxville special gives the following
account of the hanging of Osborne at
that place to day: Osborne was
brought here early in the morning
from Galcsburg. He seemed in good
spirits, and ate hearty. About eleven
o'clock this morning he confessed to
Wm. Matthews, a brother of John,
that he killed Mrs. Matthews. He
says he followed her to the cellar, hit
her on the back of the head with a
brick, and left her ; returning, he cut
her throat with a knife, lie denies
that he ravished her, but affirms that
be was hired to kill her, and this
statement was written out in full and
handed to his minister for publication.
At one o'clock he was brought on
the scaffold, and stated that he had
written out a full confession. He
made no speech, and showed no fear.
When asked if he was ready, he said
"Yes, sir," promptly, and" stepped
smilingly on the trap". His arms and

'justed, and at precisely one o'clock
and eleven minutes the drop fell, and
he was swinging. He fell about five
feet. His neck was not broken, and
he died by strangulation. His strug
gles were terrible and lasted some
time, and in thirty minutes the body
was cut down and life pronounced
extinct.

amended in several particulars, passed
the House finally, without a division.
The bill makes in the aggregate
very heavy appropriations for the
current year. Among other items
allowed for the Executive, and vari
ous other departments the sum of
$150,000; Legislative expenses $275,
000 ; Common Schools $800,000 ; Sol
dier's Orphans, $142,000; State Nor
mal Schools each $10,000; for Sal
aries of Judges of the different courts
of the Commonwealth, $324,000; for
Penitentiaries $55,000; Public Char
ity, $492,000 ; Public Printing $G0.
000; Pensions and Gratuities $00,
000; Interest on Public Debt $1,550,
000. The bill also appropriates $100,000
to the University of Pennsylvania to
aid in establishing a Hospital in the
city of Philadelphia, provided the
said University reuses the sum of
$250,000 from" other sources, aud
maintains foreve two hundred free
beds.
Jefferson Medical College and the
Western University of Pittsburg also
received $100,000 each on somewhat
similar conditions.
That portion of the bill which will
excites most comment is the section
which fixes the pay of the Senators and
Representatives at fifteen hundred
dollars for the session.
The bill repealing the usury laws
has been defeated by a very decided
vote, and the House has refused t
reconsider its vote, which seals the
fate of the measure.
The House apportionment commit
tee has reported its bill for a new con
gressional apportionment of the State.
Our district remains as it now is ex
cept that Adams county is taken off.
The bill is tho special order lor to
day (Friday)."
The bill cutting up the Girard Col
lege property in Philadelphia by
streets, was taken up on Wednesday
in the House and passed, though it
met with strong opposition from the
managers of the trust
The centennial bill, as amended
was put through the House on Thurs
day by a vote of 53 to 30.
Gov. Hartranft has sent in another
batch of vetoes, and evidently many
of the members are being alarmed
for the safety of some of their pet
measures of a similar character, and
every day joint resolutions are offered
for the recalling of certain bills for
amendment which are now in the
hands of the Governor.
Your member, Mr. McMillen has
heen absent from the House for a day
or two past, owing to sickness; he
hopes to be in his place again to-day.
Counsellor llugus is stopping at
ihe State Capital House.
Captain Mrltaalel.
The latest "sensational" story of a
"Mysterious Disappearance" is told
as follows : Last October Captain
McDaniels, a merchant of Canons
burg, a village near Pittsburg, Pcnna.,
left his home for New York, where he
intended to pnrchase a stock of goods.
He had a large sum of money in his
possession, and was to return within
a week. Nothing was heard of him
for more than five months, when he
returned with a strange story to tell
accounting for his absence. He says :
"I took my leave of this village on
the 8th of October, in company with
an old and intimate friend, Dr. .Martin,
and arrived at Philadelphia on the
morning following. While at the
breakfast table one Mr. Ewing, with
whom I had a slight business ac
quaintance, came to the table, and
during our conversation he remarked
that he was going to New York in
the same train I intended to take.
'Ewing being in a wholesale house of
the metropolis, our conversation on
1m cars was principally on matters
pertaining to trade. I noticed in our
immediate vicinity a tall, fine-looking
gentleman, dressed very tastefully,
and who was reading. When ny
companion left his seat to take another
in the smoking car, this gentleman
caitw forward, and in the politest way
imaginable, eaid: 'Pardon me, sir;
you have come cat for Oods, I be
lieve!" A business conversation
then ensued.
"I left hijn at Jersey City, after
giving him my address and particu
larly requesting him to call at the St.
Nicholas Hotel. I went down to tho
fvrry, where I met Ewing, and when
midway in the stream, who should
come up but my txjl ito sample-case
friend, who engaged in amiable con
versation with me till the ferry-boat
touched the slip. I lost Ewing in the
throng, and, having been but once
liefore in New York, I was apprehen
sive last I would get lost, so I inquired
of the stranger the readiest way to
the St. Nicholas, when he kindly
volunteered to conduct me at least
part of the way, and put me on a
straight road to it. On our way
thither we stopped at a restaurant,
the gentleman inviting me to take
something, and having a severe
headache through riding on the cars
I called for a cup of coJTee. I can re
member distinctly the bar-room, not
its location. It was on the ground
floor, the bar in the back part near
the rear wall of the house. Tho re
freshment tables were in front, and all
persois .connected with the place
looked clean Add tidy. I drank two
cups of cofiVc in ibis house, when I
lieeamc deathly sick and I remember
ed being removed to a carriage, when
I became unconscious. When I came
to I felt miserable above anything I
ever experienced in my life, Cult the
tortures of the damned ; I was half
frozen cramped so that I could
hardly drag my limbs ; and my head,
oh, heavens! I thought it would
crack' at every throb."
The Captain then tells of adven
tures which would form a tolerably
interesting series of incidents for a
dime novel. He says he was put in
the hold of a ship and carried to
Cuba, where he was kept in prison by
the Spaniards for a long time. He
then escaped, arrived at New Orleans,
and from there mute Lis way home.

The House spent the entire day on
the calendar. Every bank bill was re
duced in rate of interest, and then a
general dive was made at the various
School Board bills, which authorize
the borrowing of money at eight and
ten per cent, reducing them all to six
per cent.
On the floor of tlie House an aggra
vating debate was had on the Phila
delphia Mortgage and Guarantee
Company, Mr. Orvis insisting that it
should be brought within the lejral
rates of interest, and Speaker Elliot
against the restriction. Mr. Orvis
said that but one man out of eighteen
Philadelphia members voted for the
repeal of the usury laws, and added,
"Nuw take some of your own medi
cine." Mr. Newmeyer took a hand
and the debate assumed the sanies hape
as that on the usury laws, those
who favored the repeal talking
against the bill as making a special
case. The yeas and uays were called,
aud resulted, yeas 43, nays 45. So
tho bill fell. Another was made to
reconsider, Mr Titterman, of Phila
delphia, in the chair. There was a
occue of confusion, the like of which
has not been seen here this session.
Members left their seats and crowded
around ihe clerk's desk like an angry
hive of bees. Mr. Tittenuau ruled
one way, but the House shamed him
out of it, and he decided another w ay.
After an ineffectual effort to adjourn,
the bill was reconsidered and the de

the bill passed, 43 to 42.

Another Bnnk Kafo Crarkcd.
Loiisville, K.Y., March 10. The
clerks of the Falls City Tobacco Bank
found it impossible to unlock the safe
this morning, and supposing the lock
was out of order, a man was sent for
to open it The doors were forced
about 4 o'clock this afternoon, when
it was discovered that burglars had
entered the vault from a room in the
second story by cutting a hole in the
floor and passing through the arch
over the vault, cutting away the inch
chilled-iron castings, and with drills
anil powder bursting open the door
of the safe. The safe was the cash
ier's, and only special deposits and
collaterals were in it The collater
als and depobiu mainly consisted of
local bonds, which were left behind,
but the following special deposits are
missing one bag containing $2,000
in gold, ten ten-forty Government
bonds, $1,000 each ; two five-twenty
Government bonds, $500 each.
The teller's safe, which was beside
the cashier's, and which contained
the bank's funds, was undisturbed.
The bank loses nothing. It is sup
posed the burglars accomplished their
work yesterday and last night, as
the room over the vault gives evi
dence of quick and good work.
Louisville, March 11. Other
special deposits of the Falls City To
bacco Bank, rohbedon Sunday night,
were to-day fount! missing, among
them ten bonds of the Louisville, Cin
cinnati and Lexington Short-Line
Uailroad, Nos. 193 to 202 inclusive,
$1,000 each; GveVnds, Nos. 135 to
to 140 inclusive, and two boudi, Nos.
149 and 150, of tho Jeffersonville,
Madison and Indianapolis second
mortgage bonds $1,000 each. All
the missing bonds amount probably to
$100,000. Tfcc burglars selected se
curities easily diKpooini of in the East,
leaving local securities scattered ovct
the floor.
Louisville, March 12. The di
rectors of the roblnd bank have not
finished iLe examination and assort
ment of the bonds and iocis found in
the vault, but as they progress aud
the reports come from special deposi
tors tho loss increases, and it will not
fall short of $350,OoO, even if that
amount will cover it. One hundred
thousand dollars in Jefferson Railroad
bonds htdJ by the bank as collateral
are also gone, foF which the bank is
responsible. The loss by thu dopob
ton is much heavier than was expect
ed, but a full and correct account of
individual losses cannot be given.
Fire at Parkersbargr.
PARK Ens bl'ug, V. V., March 13,
1873. Another very destructive fire
broke out in this placo thi evening,
destroying a block of stores on Market
street, in the best business part of the
city. The Cre originated in the back
part of J. n. Dent s reed store, antl
was first discovered about seven
o'clock. For a long timo water could
not be had for the city fire engine, and
nothing could be done to prevent the
spread of the flames, and the fire soon
became unmanageable. As the block
was mostly of wooden buildings, it
quickly became a prey to the flames,
and in about two hours was totally
destroyed. (Jreat efforts were made
to frayo UjO jenittitul M. K. church,
that stood' on the Wfy bl-' yf the
square, but it ami the ' pofsonagj
alongside were destroyed. 'The
spire, the blght in the city, burned
to a skeleton, and stood uraat until it
looked like a network of god w!rt,
and then gradually swayed over and
fell into the street below, presenting a
beautiful sight to tho last. The
Episcopal church and parsonage wera
for a time in danger, but the. wind
blowing in an opposite direction
aided the erertions of the fin-men in
saving them. Several other houses
and the First Piesbyterian church,
some distance from the scene, caught
fire from the flyinir emlrcrs. driven by

Franklin, Pa, March 14. The
community here was thrown into a
state of the profoundest excitement
this morning by the suicide of Thos.
F. Anderson, Cashier of Laniberton's
Bank, and one of the oldest cashiers
in tho oil regions. Ho opened the
bank, as usual, at nine o'clock, and
transacted business with several cus
tomers. He was afterwards noticed
running in and out of the bank in a
hurried aud excited manner, and then
hurrying up Thirteenth si reet towards
his residence. Smoke was then seen
issuing from the bunk, and the per
sons who hud noticed his maneuvers
entered the bank, supposing it to be
on lire, where they discovered the
grate heaed up with hank notes,
bonds and bank papers, rapidly being
consumed by the fire. The fire was
extinguished as quickly as ossibIe,
and the notes, bonds, &c, drawn out.
Some were in a charred condition,
while others were burned to ashes.
Upon reaching his residence, some
three squares distant, he entered by
the back way, and handing his wife a
letter, said that he was about to com
mit an awful act, at the same time ex
posing a pistol, which he held in his
hand. She endeavored to take it from
him, but he tore himself from her,
stepped a few steps down into the
yard, raised his hand, and fired, the
hall entering the right temple.
iiij
wife fell fainting. Ho was conscious
at intervals of short duration for an
hour or more, but gave no explanation
for the act, and at 12:30 expired.

the .'tOtb of last. November, bv shoot- :
inr lnr with a nistol borrowed from
his son, was executed in the county
jitil here this afternoon at i: '1 J r. M.
His last night was spent mainly in
prayer, the attending minister being
of Presbyterian faith. This morning
a Jesuit Father visited him, but he
declined to follow his advice. He
said he was once a Catholic because
his wife and children were, but he
had renounced that faith since con
viction, and would die a Presbyteri
an. About noon he expressed a desire
to converse with Uafferty, another
murderer, who is confined in jail un
der sentence of death, anil who has
been granted a xufr.-'rdei!i twice.
Driver spoke with him long antl earn
estly, advising him to make peace
with heaven. Uafferty laughed at
him. The children of the doomed
man acted unfeelingly. Throughout
thev talked and laughed with stran
gers as if at a levee. Shortly
atttT
two o'clock Driver was taken from
his cell, where he wa9 praying, and
brought to the scaffold, which he
mounted firmly without hesitation.
When'asked if he had anything to
say. he addressed the crowd, stating
that whisky had brought him to the
gallows. He advised all to shun it
as poison, that it injured body and
mind. The drop fell at 2: .J4 V. M.

LotiriViLLG, March !. TUe
Courier-Journal of to-morrow morn
ing will contain the following double-
leaded editorial :
We have taken the trouble to re
view carefully the case of Mr. Colfax
as recorded in the Congress investiga
tion, and compare it with the elaborate
defense delivered by the lute Vice-
President at South Mend, hist Satur
day. Tho result of our research is that
he has given a successful ai;d xutis
factory explanation of tho entire
matter.
It will require closer analysis than
that which we have made or are capa
ble of making to alter our opinion that
in this business Mr. Colfax has been
very much abused and wronged ; and
we are the readier to allow this since
wc havc never Iteen tempted, antl
could not be induced to sacrifice tire
private character of any m in l par
tisan interest or prejudice in doing
what he believed to be an act of per
sonal justice.

shall not t..iuoy cot'cratulations
which we havo to offer a t-oiiaplcuotis
