THE F.X.EpTJTION OF JOHN. BROWN.
To-day is fixed for the execution of John
Brown, at - Charlestewn,_ Virginia, for the
double crime of murder and treason. Since
the. acts for which he is to suffer the extreme
penalty of...the law were committed, they
and he have been the all absorbing subject
of public-attention.
Until John Brown undertook a resort to
the ‘ , l4:afitunietit of urigs," the f&naticiam'
of Atolihorusru tfacivehted itself m words. -
Urgedon by the political leadings of a party
which totally disregards the bonds which
bind this trnioii together; he undertook to
carry putakep laid design ofcommencing
a seceita; Aeschtion in Aniekicau hiStork
embracing civil war and a dissolution of the
Union. The long • crusade of treasonable
aeitation, designed, not for the publi6 good,
but ttl bujl4 up a sectional political party,haa
at lastieiulted in overt acts-of ireason,rebel
lion and murder. . ,The more timid Republi
cans are appalled at the natural result of their
party teachings. They deprecate violent mea
aureaans4 ssar, they only design to overthrow
the iiiiitieli tions Of the South by montlforce
and arl- I surnentative warfare. Still they at
tempt to palliate and excuse the Offense of -
Jno. -Brown as though it were a political one,
merely- , -not criminal -in itself, but only
criminal' because it failed. Thus they un
consciously: betray the wishes of their hearts
"and the designs of their party. We have
little patience - with that fanaticism which
would disregard all legal enactments and
sanctify the most hideous crimes as acts of
bravery andherciisramsanctionedby the law
of God." It is an insult to that sacred law
to make it a cloak for revolutionary acts, de
structive to the peace of thicomatly and the
safety of the persons and property of law
abidingjttjaegs. ~ ..11.eavennever :designed a
"higher law" like that which satisfies the
consciences,. of those who would glorify
Brown and make a martyr of him. The
elemente , ithlch•aimpose fthe party who
regard Brown as a martyr are at once po
_litical, fanatical and religious—a combina
tion so comblistible that when once dim
(nighty ignited it is impossible for any gov
ernme-qtd control. It was these elements
which rendered the army, of Cromwell so
terrible. ''fteiie'snMe elementa are madly
drivingg the men of the North to desperate
lengths: it is not safe to play with the pas
sions of fanatics. Let, them be brave as
Cromwell amksincere as the maddest Round
head of_his army, they mast suffer the
penalties ofhroken law and outraged social
agreements and public obligations disregard-
Brown lies eosin the wind, and must reap
the whiilwi'ncL -.) The kindliniof 'revolution
ary flames must bra prii.*4-7 the strong
arm the law.

LOWRY'S FIRE PLUGS.
We understand that. Mr. Lowry is just com
pleting nineteen of his new patent fire plugs,
to be sent to distant, cities. Here they have been
tried, and found to be far superior to anything of
the sorts which- hatlyet 'been invented. We
can assure our leaders in distant cities, that
they are at once the cheapest, and most effect
ive article yet invented to prevent fires.
Wears glad. o note that a project is on foot
similar to the one which the Post suggested's
week or two since, to procure legislation
which way enable the city to create a fund for
the maintainance of an efficient fire depart
ment. This is an important matter to prop
erty owners, and they should at once give it a
portion of their attention. The bill, before it
goes to the Legislature should be well digest
ed, and such an enactment should be procured
as will be effective for the purpose intended.
The fund shoUld, like the Poor Fund, be
'placed under the control of a separate and dis
tinct organization, so that no contingencies
could divert it from the purpose for which ,it
is designed.
,The System of Weights and Measures.
A. proposition will be submitted at the noxl
session of Congress to establish a uniform eye•
tern of Weights and measures, on the decima
principle. It comes from New Hampshire, and
is recommended by the legislature of that
State. Congress should do something towards
establishing a uniform system of weights and
measures, and the decimal system would be the
simplest and most convenient. Some of our
State Legislatures have anticipated Congress
partially, and beim sudjusted weights and meas
ures of their own. Pennsylvania, for instance,
has adopted the decimal principle in the ton
weight., making it consist of two thousand
pounds. In oiler weights the old avoirdupois
system is the one acknowledged by her legisla
tion. Some States make the ton consist of
2240 pounds;suul the Halted States ton is of the
same number of pounds. All this conflicting
legislation tends to embarrass the operations of
business and induces law-suits. If Congress
were to adopt the decimal system throughout,
as ithas done in the currency, the simplicity
and convenience of-the arrangement would soon
induce every State tecenform to it, and intro
duce one uniforip system of weights and mone
ares throughout the country- Sir John Bow
ring, in a speech in England, stated that C0(5,-
, 000,000 of the human reels employ it. adding
that there is no instance on record of its ever
having been abandoned by any who havz:"
troduced it.

Steam for City Cars.
A gentleman in Philadelphia has invented a
two-wheeled loco motive for use on the passen
ger railways Of cities. There is an upright boil
er, with the cylinders attached to each side, in

Mr. James Robb; in this morning's papei.
Mr. Robb has been for many years one of the
leading shoe dealers of our city, and no man in
this community occupies a higher position as

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUOE
AND THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
writing from Washington City says :
"Some of the more practical and prudent of
the Republicans now discourage the idea that
the
,Republican members of the House have
the power to elect a string of straight-out ultra
Republicans for 'all the offices of the House.
Such an attempt, if it be made, as it probably
will be, must necessarily result in combina
tions among the anti-Republican members for
a division of all the offices. Thus the Demo
cratic candidate for the Speakership may bo
elected, and the Clerk of the Leto House, 31r.
Allen, be rechosen, whit the offices of prin
ter, sergeant-at-arms and postmaster, may be
divided among the anti-Lecompton Democrats
and the Southern opposition. It will not even
be very easy- for the Republicans to count a
hundred and thirteen votes 14 favor of their
caucus nominations. They may-fall oil' to a
hundred and one.
Some interest is always felt in the mode of
promulgating the President's message and the
report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the
state ,ef the finances. It has been generally
the case that, in spite of all the precautions of
the President, a few,copies reach some favor
ed or "enterprising' paper, in advance of those
sent off to pastmitstera for-distribution among
the newspapers at the moment when the mes
sage is communicated to Congress. Such
"mistakes" will, it is hoped, be avoided here
after, as they are •discreditable both to the
press and to the government. But as there is
no probability that the House will ber organ
ized for a month after the first Monday in De
cember, it will be lannecessary and imprudent
to distribute the message, as usual, so as to be
ready for promulgation on that day. The
President may follow. the example of Mr.
Pierce, and read his message for the informa
tion of the country to the Senate, without
waiting for the organization of the Rouse.
But he will probably -wait for a few days, and
give notice, in some manner, of the day when
he will thus .communicate the message.' -
New toes for ludlau Rubber.
About the latest and most novel application
of ! indian rubber, if we except that of the
manufacture of files, is-the construction of
musical instruments. One would scarcely im
agine, 'when looking at a piece of soft and
yielding "rubber," that it could ever be made
sonorous enoegh to serve for a flute: yet it is
said that neither ebony, nor coco wood, nor
box wood, nor glass, nor silver, tsar gold, nor
any other known substance, is equal to vul
canized indian rubber for this purpose : one
manufacturer. in New. York, Mr. Badger, has
decided to use it to the !exclusion of all other
material, in the fabrication of this sweetest of
wind instruments. The quality of tone, or
timbre given by the vulcanized Indian rubber
flute is said to be the sweetest, and richest, and
most liquid, concievible. Besides the mate
rial, there are same other peculiarities in the
flute of Jar. B. which, as they would require
an engraving-to render their-description,' in

Catching Whales.
In 1834, the wZtole number of vessels engag
ed in the business, was about 700, of which 400
or four-sevenths, were American, and 300,11 r
three-sevenths, were foreign. So that twenty
five years ago, Yankee enterprise was ahead of
the rest of the world as 4 to 3. In 1869 the
whole number is estimated at ,900, of which
661 are American, and 239 foreign; showing
Yankee enterprise still more in the ascendant;
for we have added 261 ships tdour fleet—a gain
of 65 per cent., while our foreign Competitors
have fallen off 61 ships,—a loss of GO per cent,.
In the value of the catch, the increase is still
greater, being about $12,300,000 in 'G9, against,
s'ooo,ooo in '34--about, /7r.! per cent, This,
however, is in a great measure owing to the
advanee4 value of oil and . bone, which has

A GAME DINNER.
Shortly after the war with Great Britain,
an aristocratic English gentleman built a fine
residence in the vicinity of Fort George, on
the Niagara frontier, and, in accordance
with the old country idea of exclusiveness,
he enclosed his grounds with a high tight
fence. Hero he lived like an old English
gentleman—one of the olden time—with the
exception that none but the elite of the
province and the officers of the neighboring
garrison were allowed to pass his gate. There
was a very good understanding between the
American officers at Fort Niagara and the
British at Fort George, and the men were
permitted occasionally to visit back and forth.
Among the American soldiers was a queer
chap, who stuttered terribly, was very fond
of hunting, and who was always gettinginto
some sort of mischief.
- _
One day this chap took the small boat that
lay moored at the .foot , of the walls of the
fort, and crossed over to the Canadian shore
for a hunt. He wandered over several miles
in the rear of Fort George, but without
meeting any game, and, on his return, seeing
a crow on a tree within the enclosure of the
aristocratic Englishman, he scaled the high
fence, fired, and brought down his game.
Colonel or whatever his title may have been,
(we will mil him Colonel, anyhow,) witness
ed the transaction, and advanced while our
soldier was reloading. Bowes very angry;
but seeing the Yankee standing very coolly
willt a loaded gun in his hand, he gulped
down his passion for a moment, and merely
' asked him if he killed the crow. The Yan
kee replied that he did. "I am very sorry,"
said the Colonel, " for he was a pet. By the
bye, that is a very pretty gun—will you be
so kind as to let me look at it?" The sol
dier complied with the request. The Eng
lishman took the Sun, stepped back a few
paces, took deliberate aim, then broke forth
in a tirade of abuse, concluding with an
order to stoop down and take a bite of the
crow, or he would blow his brains out. The
soldier explained, apologised, and entreated.
It was of no use.
There was shoot in the Englishman's eye
—there was no help for it—and the stutter
ing soldier stooped and took a bite of the
crow, but swallow it he could not. Up came
his breakfast—his dinner the day before,
and it really appeared as if he would throw
up his toe-nails. The Englishman gloated
on the misery of lus victim, and smiled com
placently at every additional heave. When
lie MO got through vomiting, and had wiped
his eyes, the Colonel handed him his gun,
with the remark : "Now, you rascal, that
will teach you how to poach on a gentle
man's enclosure."
The Yankee soldier took his gun, and the
Colonel might have seen the devil in his eye
if lie hail looked close.. Stepping back he
took aim at the heart of his host, and or
dered him instantly to finish the crow.
Angry expostulations, prayets, and entreat
ies were usele=s thing`. There was shoot in
the American eve then. as there had been
in the English eve before. There was no
help at hand, and he took a bite of the crow
(Me bite teas enough to send all the good
dinners he had eaten lately on the satne
journey with the ganisoa fare of the soldier.

ARTIFICIAL TEETH.
-
TT is well knownfirst, class bentistry
has been beyond thereach of the mass of 'people
Oa account of its costliness, and the majority, rather
than take up with the infermr. workmanship of "chap
Dentists," have adopted' the wiser course and done
without any, for if - Fisk of teeth be imperfeet in Work
manthip and • Inexact in fit, It Is worse than useitio and
dear at any price.
THE CORALITE AND PORCELAINTEETH have in- .
augurateil a new era in the science of dentistry—being
the very best Artificial Teeth now in nse, they can be
a.fforded at prices that place them within the reach of
all. • '
Being Mb first to introduce these new styles of work
to this community, I accordingly fixed such prices as I
deemed would remunerate the best artistic and me
chanical skill. Since then, however, the unprecedented
favor with which the work has been received, has corn-
pelted other Dentists to adopt it, some of whonOwish to -
retain the gold pinto prices, which I consider would
be exorbitant; for, though the now styles are really:
more valuable than the best gold work, they are made
of less expensive material. The increased amount of
work done also compensates for the reduction in price.
On the other hand, a few Dental Quacka of this city,
who possess neither mechanical skill or common hon
esty, Advertise the work at prices slightly less than my
own, notwithstanding theft have neither the - ability nor
the right (it being patented) to manufacture it. The
object of this trickery iserely to obtain an opportu
nity to disparage the Corsi'tond Porcelain and recom
mend some of teem own w0r,,....%5s work.
I have felt bound, in justic.yself and the public,
to make known these facts. - . ."4.1W.„,s

The qualities of the PORC D CORALITE
