If the owner of the white hat were alive to-day the four letters would be in constant use in the Tribune office. When the Tribune says that an overwhelm ing majority of the people of this State are " against Cameron and his ticket," it lies twice and in two ways. It is a lie to say that a ma jority is against General Beaver, and when it indirectly says that beneral j Beaver was not the choice of the j : people, independent of Cameron i or his friends," it lies again.

On the other hand, that he was a sharp-witted man, who appreciated all his chances of defense and of escaje on the plea of irresponsibility is most fully attested by his conduct during his trial and afterward. The public is satisfied and gratified with the execution of righteous judgment in his case, and the more so because it was so long delayed that many be gan to fear that in some way or an other the wretch might escape the punishment due his crime. Now, that the law hath finally dealt with him, all people will look back with satisfaction to the fact that this ha ted criminal, execrated by the civil ized world, was not done to death until after he had been allowed to exhaust all the known agencies of the law in his behalf. Thk Democratic State Convention assembled at Harrisburg on Wed nesday of last week, and nominated Robert E. Pattison, of Philadelphia, for Governor; Chauncey F.

Denouncing His Murderer and De claring He is Going to His lnnl A Temporary Break-Down Scenes of the Exe cution. Washington, June 30. The final scene in the tragedy of President Garfield's death has closed and the curtain drops forever upon one of the saddest episodes in Jour coun try's history. To have been strick en down at a time when men were aroused bv warand revolution might have been" regarded as a consequence but to have been felled to earth at a time of political and social tranquil ity was a crime without a palliating circumstance. The last night of the assassin on this earth was eventful. He awoke early and called for his breakfast, which he apparently rel ished for a few moments, and then pushed it aside, saying that he would enjoy it better if he had some exercise. This being refused, after some effort to persuade the deputy, he returned to his breakfast and fin ished it. About 10'clock those who were required by the law and others Crinitted to witness the execution gan to arrive. An immense crowd was also cathering outside of the building. A strone detachment of mounted jHlice were stationed at different points, so that the crowd was kept at a distance. Among the on rl i aw -irrivfllj ."W .Inl.n W (Illi- . . . .

The rof!iu with the remains I .-L ; rfr.. I r . i T ; violence of her emotions were insuf ficient to move the relentless officers ofthe law. She fingered about the door jx-rsistently, and was only per suaded to withdraw after her broth er John assured her that it was no Use, that the officers desired to pre vent any exhibition of emotion. At this juncture a young girl came up with a beautiful funeral emblem in flowers ordered by Mrs. Scoville, which John promised to place on the coffin. The assassin made fre quent inquiries for a bouquet, which had been sent him by bis sister, but this was declined, as there was a fear that the suspicion of some of the flowers being saturated with a deadly fluid might be true. The singular conduct of Mrs. Scoville yesterday and her persistency to-day seemed to give credence to these suspicions. During the whole affair two detec tives were secretly at the elbows of John Guiteau, fearing that he, by his complacent acts, was contempla ting some sudden effort to prevent his brother from the ignominy of death upon the scaffold. FI LL REIJOIOI S PREPARATION'. At 11 o'clock Dr. Hicks came out of the cell and said that he had just finished a pleasant religious talk with the prisoner ; that he was ready for the last dread scene in this painful tragedy ; that he com mended himself to Cod with conli dence, and he thought that the in spiration which he considered him silf under would serve him to the last, though he might show some transient emotion. Just as Dr. Hicks left the cell the dinner, con sisting of four slices of toast, a tin Ikx containing beefsteak and a tin cotteejKit containing coffee were car ried in. The assassin also asked for a bath, which was granted, after which be began to urrauge his toilet with scrupuons care. At 11:15 the number in the rotunda had KWt-ll!il ! - to at least two hundred persons, but no one of any distinction in official tile was present. I he military i guard, a detachment of Battery C, Second Artillery, Lieutenants East man and Crawford, now marched down the irun stairway and across the rotunda. The tramp of meas-1 tired steps end the commands of the othcers resounding in the spacious dome with a solemn efiect.

He seemed to realize for the fir.-t time that the end of his existence on earth was at hand. Shortly before twelve the as- , . - I im' " w"en entertained that i he would not be able to pass the or deal as he intended, thus setting at naught the inspiration theory. Dr. Hicks fanned him and spoke en couraging words. The assassin for j a few moments wept bitterly and . then rallied. The tears seemed to lie the overflow of anguish. At 12: 25 the steam whistle of the Alms House near by' was heaid. The prisoner had through his long con finement taken his record of the passing hours uf the day by it. He started as he heard it. knowing that the legal time of execution had ar rived. The signal, however, was purposely delayed so that when he heard it the preparations and con summation of the last inarch and ceremonies of the gallows should follow in prompt succession. Very soon after the prisoner was brought from his cell. As he passed for the last time the iron portals of the cor ridor, he gazed at the towering ceil ing overhead and then cast his eye along the narrow way with the line of military with fjxed bayonets on one side ind of civilians ou the oth er. Thejsc reached from the corridor of incarceration to Uie corridor of death. The prisoner wore a black suit and a handkerchief about his neck, and had hia arms pinioned be hind him.

He suryey ed for an instant the soulless engine of death, and then looked towards the spectators. last exhibition of crankism. After a prayer by Dr. Hicks the assassin, in aloud, clear voice, said he would read from the 10th chap ter of Matthew, 28 to 41. Having finished this he read his last prayer from the gallows. During the read ing he emphasized those parts that most interested him by a vigorous action of the head. When he reach ed the qotation aboutthose whom he called his murderers he was partic ularly emphatic. This followed bv his last poem, in imitation, he said, of a child's invocation of the Deity. At the third stanza he broke down and burst into tears. Thew, how ever, did not deter him from read ing. He continued amid tears and sobs. He rallied again, taking fare well and receiving the pastors bless ing, and while the executioner wits fastening his legs and adjusting the fatal noose, the assassin was perfect j ly collected.

The disposition ofthe body will be kept secret as the desire to secure it is such that to place it in a common grave would ensure desecration. A TYPICAL EXECUTIONER. The executioner did his work well as he had promised. He reminds one of the executioners of history. He wears a solemn and savage ex pression, a short cut beard with a short but powerful frame. He wta a prize-fighter in his youth and to day saw the thirteenth execution at his hands. After the work was done the witnesses withdrew and the om inous silence of the prison again reigned. nriTKAl" S LAST XICHT. The last night of the nssnssion on earth was one of the finest ever seen in Washington. The broad slanting shadows of cornice and abutment formed weird figures on the dusky walls and whitewashed tree trunks and neiehliorinr fences, addinir to the ghostlike visions of the horde of i colored prisoners huddled in the female quarters over the main en-1 trance. ' A bomb had burst in the midst of this assemblage by the arri - val during the day of a crazy woman, alternating shrieks, suggesting dire horribilhies, and kept the keepers in i . i- : ....:. ti i-nmliwi ir.-iiA il,i I a coiiniaiil lour oi l!llecuon. im ..' - '......k .,i.v v ii.iii, v.i.M i . , . 1 1 , out on the still night rang shouts like j (these: "Seedat gobler."

"Bring me," said he to the keeper, who asked his wish, 4"an omelet, broiled steak, fried potatoes and toast bread.' While breakfast was cook ing he dressed himself partially, asked where Dr Hicks was, but said little else. When the breakfast came he sat down , to eat, and eat, heartily for a few woments, but soon he began to take little nibbles of this and that as if he did not relish the food as usual. muskets made Guitt au ro nervous t!t;it he f il back in on his cot and Ut ame so f;iint rtstorutives had to i Be :tpiii'd.

The soldiers were drawn up on one side, a long line of spectators facing them on the other. It was understood that Guiteau wad very much de pressed, and it was expected his passage to the gallows would present a very distressing sight The move ments of the officers about the jail door were watched with eager atten- tion. READI.V1 THE DEATH WARRANT. At a few minutes past noon War den Crocker and his attendents came to the cell of the assassin, and the Warden read the death warrant as follows : ,-ir, ,?we, , r . l'-,a k 1 2' f harle J ' (" UlteaU ' T .1 i. r x e 1 No. 14,050 murder.

FORMING THE PROCESSION. At 12:25 a loud steam whistle was blown at the Work House, which is near the jail. This whistle usually blows at 12 o'clock and by it Gui teau was in the habit of gauging time. The delay to-day was by special ar rangement, so that its startling sum mons might not come before the offi cers were read'. Two minute later th9 iron gates at the end of the cor ridor clicked, first came Rev. Dr. Hicks, then Warden Crocker, then Guiteau. ,Ue was carefully dressed, nervous, and looking as he did du ring the trial when he was going to the van. His face was pallid and the must le about his mouth mov ed nervonsly. Other than this there was no sign of faltering. On one side of him was Keejer James Cole man, on the other James Woodward, before him Keeper Strung. The procession moved quickly to the scaffold and Guiteau ascended the somewhat steep steps with as much steadiness as could be expected from a man whose arms were tightly pin ioned. At the last 6tep he faltered for a moment, but was ass-L-ted by the ollicers who walked upon either side. Upon reaching the platform Guiteau was placed immediately be hind the drop, facing the front of the scaffold. Captain Coleman stood upon his right, Robert Strong upon . ... 1,1- 1 , I -, L lus Hit, and vt ouuwaru uirtcuy oe hind hiui. Jones took a position ou the nortli side, near the upright of the , beam.

During the prayer GuiteuTi stood with buwed head. At its conclu sion Dr. Hicks opened the bible and Guiteau, in a firm tone said : "I will read a selection from the loth chapter of Matthew, from the 2Sih to the 41st vere inclusive." . He then read in a clear, strong voice, and with a good intonation, show ing lit- tie if any nervousness. . He then read in u loud voice the following come from it. This is the best evi- j dence that the inspiration came from Thee, ami I have set it forth in my book that all men may read and know that Thou, Father,; did mspire the act for which I am now murdered. Father, " I tremble for the fate of my murderers.

"'Father, Thou knowest me, but the world hath not known me. And now I go to Thee and the Saviour without the slightest ill-will toward a human being. ' Farewell, ye men of earth." "l AM (iOIXG TO THE LOKDY." When he had finished reading his prayer he again surveyed the crowd and said, still with a firm voice: ' I am now going to read some verse j which' are intended to indicate my feelings" at the moment of leaving this world. If set to musio they may be rendered effective. The idea is that of a child babbling to his mamma and his pappa; I wrote it this morning about ten o'clock." He then commenced to chant these ver ses in a sad. doleful style: i am X"ii.j In llie I.oaIv : ! am glad. I h'u Koine to llie Lonly ; I am m i;!al. I am punt' In llit- LiiMv.

The Express train ieaving Long Branch at five minutes past S o cloirk tins morning, on the Central New Jersey Bailroad, met with a terrible acci dent while crossing a bridge over a branch of the Shrewsbury river, near Little Silver station. The accident was no doubt caused by the spread ing of the rails. Six cars four ordinary passengers coaches, the smoking car and a parlor car left the rails and ran over the ties ofthe i bridge, tearing them into splinters Ine cars kept on the bridge until the train was half way across, when four possciijter coaches and the smoking car went into the water with a terrible crash. The cars landed on their sides in about four feet of water. The - scene that followed beggars description. The following is a partial list ofthe casualties : the killed and injured. James II.
