`•, - contended that the sentence means ex-
ccution, and that execution means hang
ing by the neck until the culprit be
:dead; so that if hanging fails once, he
must be tried again.
In 1697, one Richard Johnson was
hanged at Shrewsbury for murder. For
• a purpose which he planned while in
prison, be obtained a promise that his
dead body should be laid in a coffin
without being stripped. His purpose
was detected a little too soon ; for life
being observable - in him after he had
:el hung half an hour, a man was sent life
the edder to examine into the probable
tti'7 cause of this prolonged vitality. It was
•
- found that Johnson had twisted cords
around and under his body, connected
z: with two rings or hooks near his neck;
•.;• a double shirt and a periwig without
flowing curls concealed these contriv
• ances. The poor wretch was stripped
e• of his ingenious apparatus, and hanged
a second time more effectually.
1706, a burglar, named John Smith,
was hung at Tyburn. A reprieve came
after he had been hanging about fifteen
minutes •, he was immediately cut down,
• removed to a neighboring house, bled
by a surgeon, and restored to life.
Y;
The case of Margaret Dixon was one
that excited great interest at Edinburg,
e in 1724. She was hung for infanticide;
the body was cut down, placed in a cof
fin, and removed in a cart to Mussel
' ; burg by her friends, with a view to in
terment in the parish churchyard. The
- jolting of the cart and the admission of
e air through some injury which the cof
fin sustained, appear to' have combined
• , in resuscitating the woman, for she
showed evident signs of life before the
cart had proceeded one-third of the dis
, ranee, She Was removed, revived, pray
ed with by a minister, and received
back into the circle of her friends. She
lived creditably many years afterwards,
had a large family, and sold salt about
the streets of Edinburg, where she was
known, on account of her strange es
cape, as " Half-hanged Maggie."
William Duell was one of those whp
had revived when almost under the dis
secting knife. This man was hanged
for murder, on a gibbet put up at Ac
ton, in 1740. After banging for twenty
minutes, the body was cut down and
taken to Surgeons' Hall for dissection.
The attendants stripped and washed the
• body, and the suegeons prepaeed for their
labor. Just as they were about to begin,
however, they perceived faint signs of
life in him ; he groaned feebly, and his
breathing became gradually more and
more perceptible. They bled him, and
in the evening he was able to set up.—
He was conveyed back to prison ; but
there was too much public excitement
to justify the authorities in hanging
• him again. In two days he recovered
his. health. Fever and delirium had
rendered his memory a blank, and he
had lost all recollection of the hanging.
It was supposeirby the surgeons that a
full flow of blood at the time had ena
bled his system to resist the tightening
of the veins, and to have thus restored
him to life—not to liberty, hOwever, for
he was afterwards transported.
In 1752, Ewen McDonald washanged
for murder. After the body was cot
down it was taken to Surgeon's Hall
and placed ready for dissection. The
operating surgeon, having to leave the
room for a short time, was surprised on
his return to see the man sitting up.—
Possessing more professional zeal than
humanity, the surgeon took a mallet
and killed- McDonald outright, in order
not to be disappointed of affopportuni
ty for dissection. This atrocious case
gave rise tp much indignant comment
at the time.
In 1767, a tailor, named Patrick Red
mond, was hanged at Cork, for highway
robbery. After hanging less than the
usual time, the body was cut down and
conveyed hastily to the house of an act
or, named Glover, who found means by
friction and fumigation to revive him.
Redmond had the credible audacity to
go to the theatre the same evening, and,
to the horror of the audience, publicly
thank Glover for having saved his life.
The present century has not been
without its instances. About fifty years
ago, a servant girl was convicted of ad
ministering poison to the household of
a farmer, in a fit of passion atsome pet
ty injury: A legal doubt having led to
the postponement of the execution, the
steady demeanor of the girl led to her
being employed as a servant by thejail
or at Durham. One morning the Gov
ernor received, much to his regret and
to the regret of many of the citizens, an
order for the immediate execution of
the girl. She was hanged, but the rope
broke ; and the wretched girl remained
crying at the foot of the gallows, while
a man hastened off on horseback to fetch
a new rope. This distressing scene was
scarcely a case in point, so far as con
cerns resuscitation after hanging ; but
it is one of the instances of deferred ex
ecutions, which are so bad, because
they give rise to hopes destined to dis
appointment.
In another instance, a boy of only
thirteen or fourteen Was capitally con
victed, but respited indefinitely on ac
count of his youth. He remained in
the jail at Worcester, was found to be a
docile lad, and became a general favor
ite, both with the j'ailor and the prison
ers; everybody believing that his full
pardon would soon come. One day he
was playing at ball, in the yard, full of
life and glee, when suddenly, to the ute
ter dismay of the jailor and inmates of
the prison, an order arrived, after many
weeks of delay, for the - execution of the
poor lad ; and the execution aocording
ly took place.
An instance more in point, is that of
a man who was executed at Tyburn,
and whose apparently dead body was
purchased by a surgeon for dissection,
and brought to his house. ,
A servant wishing to see \ the body,
stole into the room, and found the man
sitting upright on the dissecting table.
The surgeon, a humane man, shipped
him off quietly to America, where he
amassed a fortune, which in gratitude
he bequeathed to his benefactor.
Sir Jonah Barrington, in his " Per
sonal Sketches," mentions the case of
one Lauigan, who was hanged for the
murder of Captain O'Flaherty. Lani
gan survived by some means Which are
not explained ; and Sir Jonah saw him
at the house of Mr. Lander, in the Tem
ple. He was, smuggled over to Abbe
ville, where he died many years after
ward in the monastery of La Trappe.
Some of these momentous escapes
have plainly depended on the imperfec
tions of the gibbet as compared with
the drop. These imperfections led to
the abandonment of'the one kind of
dead apparatus for the other. Several
statements have been made in the pub
lic journals from time to time concern
ing the " last gibbet;" but many of
these are destitute of meaning, unless
we take into account the exact particu
lars of each ease. In 1856 the Exami
ner said :
" A few days ago, the last gibbet erec
ted in England was demolished by the
workmen employed t't making the ex
tensive docks for the Xortheastern Rail
way Company, at Jarrow Slake, on the
Tyne."
This statement was shortly after
wards disputed; for, later in the same
year, a gibbet was still left standing on
Dit3hling Common, in Sussex. It was
known among the surrounding villag
ers as "Jacob's Post," being named af
ter a culprit concerning whom a copy
CI
WE
?'
of verses was long current in the neigh
borhOod, recording, among other things; I
that- 7 4 -
_ ,
" At Horsham OaDDIVB be was hinge 4 there,
The thirty-first of August that same year; .
And where he did the eritoe,,they took the paine
To bring him back and hang him up in chains."
It has been stated that the last gibbets!
erected in England was at Saffron Lane,
near Leicester, in I 832;
it was soon after
removed by order of the Secretary of !
State for Home Affairs. Whatever may
be the exact date, however, when the
last gibbet was erected, and the last de
molished, it is certain that the drop has
been almost, if not quite, substituted
for it in England and the United States,
In the old gibbet the wretched culprit
was turned off from a ladder, at a height
which it was supposed would elevate
him sufficiently above the ground or
platform ; whereas the drop consists of
a trap door, which, being suddenly
opened by-the withdrawal of bolts un
derneath, causes the whole weight of
the culprit's body to be in an instant at
the mercy of the noose. -
Some of the instances of escape are
doubtless attributable to the careless
way in which the prisoner was turned
off the scaffold, or rather ladder, en
which he ascended to the gibbet; some
to the insertion of a tube which might
prevent the constriction of the throat;
some to the opening of an orifice in the
windpipe by an expert surgeon ; some
to•a-natural hardening of the windpipe,
which occasionally happens; and some
to a steel collar, connected with an elab
orate system of braces and bandages.—
These varieties offer. elucidations of
most of the uses of resuscitation -that
have been recorded.

FOR GOVERNOR
MI - GEN. JOHI7 W. GEARY,
CONGRESS has been at work on the
Tariff and Tax bills for two weeks.
This will account for the non-appear
ance of our usual summary of Con
gressional proceedings. '
Oregon has gone Republican, against
" my policy," and thus secures us a man
of some talent and stability in place of
Nesmith, in the United States Senate.
We see it stated that Dr. Craven's
" Prison Life of .Teff. Davis" is the great
sensatibn b00k.4 •
of the season. Doubt
less " The Lifei and Adventures ofJack
Sheppard" was, in its day, `• the sensa
tion book of the season."
It is said that Senator Cowan has
written to some officeholder in the west
part of the State, that all officeholders
are expected to vote the "Democratic"
ticket next fall. Those great expecta
tions will I not be realized, Mr. Cowan.
Mr. Galt, of the Canada Parliament,
moved the other day to demand indem
nity of thi United States for the late
Fenian raid. Certainly, Johnny, draw
on us at sight. We have a set-off.—
Come on.
In Washington, July 3,1866, by Rev. Spiritual
Affinity, Mr. J. Davis, Vallandigham, Seymour,'
and Mrs. COWnD, Randal], Doolittle. Cards.
Three things you shall know by their
bark : A dog, a tree, and a demagogue.
A few.days ago a - call for a "Johnson
Convention" issued from Washington,
under the auspices of Randall, Cowan,
Doolittle, &c., late supposed to be Re
publicans, always known to be dema
gogues.
On the third instant there issued a
call from Washington for a national
Convention, so exactly like the other
that one would say that one mind ori
ginated both. But this last call bears
the names , of Garret Davis, Philip John
son, McDougall, Ancona, Rogers, of
New Jersey, and others, not less promi
nent in aiding and abetting rebels In
arms during the late war, all claithing
to be "democrats," and known to be
traitors) in everything essential to trea
son.
This is the long-looked-for coalition of
the Johnson and Copperhead parties.
When two, drops of water meet, they
coalesce and become one drop. When
a number of men, of like political affin
ity, meet, they just as naturally, and in
evitably coalesce, Mid constitute a party.
Very clear, is it not? Needs no long
argument to prove that friendly atoms
unite in obedience to a law of physics,
does it?
This coalition has no formidable as
pect to us. T 1 u 3 snake must die. It may
suck a little life from men who have
their price—from such men as Cowan,
Randall, and Doolittle. Butonly enough
to protract the agony 4;1. dying. This
new' form of the enemy tioes not terrify
anybody, we hope. Proteus had many
shapes ; why not treason ?
However, we can see how much good
may come out cif this marriage of 'Cow
an & Co. with Garret Davis & Co. Men
are never so strong as when they know
their precise strength. $o with parties.
When Lee, Johnston, Twiggs, and
other rebels, left the United States mil
itary service for the rebel service; they
gave strength to the Government.—
While they only staid with us nomi
nally, their hearts were with our armed
enemies. They therefore constituted a
weakness and a danger. When they
left us, we gained a knowledge of the
breadth and length of treason in the
army ; and knowledge is in itself power.
So we had no tears to shed over the
disaffection of Cowan, Randall, or Doo
little, and their coalition with Vallan.'
digham. We could as soon think of
crying about water running down hill.
Let us see: Edgar Cowan was only
elected instead of Judge Wilmot, be
cause be claimed to be more radical than
Wilmot. He dare not deny it, though
falsehood and effrontery are his breath.
Wilmot (and we ask his pardon for wri
ting his name so near Cowan's) was not

But time, 'which is said to make all
things even at the last; has reversed Mr.
Cowan's position. Ho now - , abhors rad-
Indeed,lehegauto abhor ev
erything radical before he had twice
sniffed r•aulsbury's breath in the Senate
chamber. Re is just as radical now as
he was six years ago, of course. We
only hope he may be permitted to, lead
the new party. If there is a man named
among the signers to the two calls who
can more expeditiously run any mea
sure, or party, into the ground., than he,
we are greatly mistaken.
Alexander Randall, another of the
hybrids who - were 'propagated in the
sunshine of Abraham Lincoln's good
nature, used to be savagely, radical. 'lf
we mistake not, he was one oE, the saga
cious Republicans who was afraid, to
trust Mr: Johnson as Vice President.--
He thought Mr. Johnson liable to be de : -
moralized by his Southern habits 'Of
thought, and too susceptible to " demo
cmtininfluences." This is our recollec
tion of the matter.
Mr. Doolittle has been nicknamed
" demagogue," by Republicans, for six
years, to our personal knowledge. It is
proper enough • forlim to go with the
coalition. "Good riddance to rubbish."
_These are the leaders of the - " John
son party." Who'll follow?
We can tell you : Every man who
voted for Vallandigham in Ohio; every
man who voted for Seymour in New
York; every man who voted for Wood
ward in Pennsylvania; every man who
voted for McClellan in the loyal States.
And every rebel from the lakes to the
,gulf, will fall into column at Philadel
phia in August.
And a few men who voted for Curtin,
and for Lincoln, - expecting a post office
or some other emolument; a few Re
publicans in the market, at from $2 50
to $l5OO per annum; these will also fol
low—a long way behind the superfine
rebel-Copperhead army. - They cannot
expect front seats,
- As Cowper said to Disappointment—
say we to the coalition—" Come!"—
Come in any shape you choose, only
come on. There has been an odor of de
cay clinging about Cowan & Co. for six
years, and the Republican party Can
just as well bury them with the-" D
emocracy" next fall as to make two fu
nerals.
The Bellefonte Press, in an article on
the Congressional question laSt week,
mentions Hon. W. H. ARMSTRONG, of
Williamsport, and L. A. MACKEY, Esq.,
of Lock Haven, as probable contestants
for the nomination against Mr, WlD
sox. We can assure the editor of the
Press that Mr. Armstrong will not.be a
candidate this fall coming, he having
given this assurance while in this bo
rough at the last term of Court. He,
like all good Republicans, regards the
endorsement of Congress as the great
duty of the people. He
_regards Mr.
Wilson's course in Congress as filling
the measure of the expectations of his
constituents, and makes no conceal
ment of his opinion that be should be
re-nominated.
We cannot say how much truth there
may be in the report touching Mr. Mac
key's candidacy ; but we understand
that Clinton county is generally in fa
vor of Mr. Wilson.
A word to our friend of the Press:—
In our candid opinion, it will do no
good to return to the contest of 1364.
The question now is, not what man's
axe is dull, but what is our duty as
friends of the country. It niaYas well
be understood that the Republicans of
Tioga county do not intend to fight any
old battles over, but that they will first
inquire what is required of them in the
matter of sustaining Congress, and then
do it. We presume that that is the feel
ing everywhere. It ought to be, at all
events.
SOLDIERS' COUNTY CONVENTION.—
We publish this week a call • for a Sol
diers' County Convention, numerously
signed. The.objeet of the Convention
is fully stated in the call, and is, we
think, laudable.
These Conventions are being held in
nearly every county in the State. Tioga
county ought not to be behind. It Is
eminently proper that the brave men
who went forward in the hour of na
tional peril, should actively participate
in the political struggles which annual
ly mark a system of free governthent.
They should constitute a fraternity in
peace as in war, and thus keep alight
the memory of their glorious campaigns.
This call is signed by soldiers repre
senting nearly every township in the
county. There ought to be a full repre
sentation.- In order that this may be,
we would suggest that primary meet
ings for the election of delegates be held
Saturday, July 21, instant, and that the
soldiers of the several election districts
send their best men to the .Convention,
which is called for Friday, July 27.
" THE TkIIRD PARTY," or " Copper-
Johnsons," as the Press names the par
ties to the great scrub race for office,
held their State Convention in Phila
delphia on the 3d of July. About fifty
persona were present. Ex-Gov. John
son, ex-Congressman Tracy, of Brad
ford, and ex-Know-Nothing Flanigan,
of Philadelphia, were the prominent
characters of the occasion. The Con
vention proposed to organize in every
sub-school district in the State, and then
send delegates to a second Convention,
to be held in Philadelphia on the 15th
of August next. _This, is the horned
horse Convention called by Garret Da
vis and• Senator Cowan, for the use of
Jefferson Davis.
Certainly, organize in every school
district, gentlemen. You • will have a
good time of it. When that Conven
tion assembles, thepublic will see snekes.
We must ask the editor of the Hon
dale Herald to print the corrected ejec
tion returns from Nebraska. Last week
it was beside itself over " another Dem
ocratic victory." The official returns
show that the Radical Republican tick
et is elected, from Governor to Legisla
ture. The State Constitution was adop
ted by 100 majority. This gives us two
more Senators and one Repre.sentative.
It is bard on our dpiamentS, but sttletly
true. ,
" Deserters ,shall vote," says a Capper7
head sheet publisbsd in the eastern part
of the State. --
This affirmation comes upon the heels
of the decision - of the Supreme Court,
through Judge Woodward, that election
-:offleers cannot refuse .the votes of de
serters until they--(We - deserters) shall
haYe been convicted by court martial.
But it is apipsingto •note,the exultant
tone of the Copperhead,press in :declar
ing that " deserters shall vote," We
suppose it is safe enough to say, that out
of every hundred deserters, ninety-nine
will vote the Copper ticket. Therefore
this great, rejoicing thereupon. . .
But the papers so exulting are mista
k-en in saying that the Republicans
gret having refused the ballots of deser
ters.
Were we an election officer, we should
still refuse to receive the vote of a man
whom we believed from the evidence to
be disqualified to vote, no matter from
what cause. Any man, not a deserter,
can produce the evidence of the fact,
just as he produces the evidence of citi
zenship. If he refuse to do it, or can
not do it, then he must take the conse
quences.
Our opponents must not suppose that
desertion can be made honorable by the
decision of Judge Woodward. It will
remain a crime and stain so long as the
American people are worthy of a free
country. We-do not forget that• Judge
Woodward himself is a traitor in all
that constitutes theessentials of treason.
Hence the decision.
If HoRACE GREELEY thinks treason
should go unwhipt of justice, let him
say so. If he thinks Davis ought to be
released on parole, let him define what
he means by that. If Davis is a pris
oner of war, what hinders his arraign
ment before a court-martial? If he
thinks the President does not want to
try Davis, say that.. If a housebreaker
is caught in the , act; who doubts his
guilt? If he be guilty, prima facie,
why not go through pie forms of legal
trial, and leave it with a jury to say if
men may ransack other folk's houses
with impunity? ;. I 5
A Honeadale,paper a,nuounces the or
ganization of a "Johnson-Clymer Club!'
That's hard upon both parties.. We
hope the issues of the campaign will be
as clearly set forth everywhere:
Piety, like other virtues, may degen
erate, and 'make men mad.
The clergyman, named Lindaley; of
Medina, N. Y., who a few weeks. ago
whipped his little three-year-old boy to
death because he would not say his pray
em, is a case in point.
Mr. Lindsley is a wretched bigot.-!--.
That's all. Bigotry like his made the
Book of Martyrs possible.
What ought to be done with Mr.
Lindsley, who whipped a three-year
old boy to death because he refused to
say his prayers?
Is it best to bang him?
Do better than that. First ascertain
if murder is a crime. Then fix its enor
mity. Then—well, then •why not re
lease him on parole? That is the fash
ion.
The soldiers in the central and south
ern part of the State are organizing
clubs under the name of "The National
Union Boys in Blue."
The soldiers in Tioga county are sec
ond to none in the State for loyalty and
devotion to Republican prineiples. But
they are likely to be second to all in the
work of organization. Why not organ
ize?

Notwsth,standing the trouble of fol
lowing up the Aimeen muddle, and the
European imbroglio, this sagacioue
dodger still finds time to vent his natu
ral feelings regarding the action of an
obstinate Congress, in language suffi
ciently strong to satisfy even the most
rabid of his sohthern friends ; and one
would think that the members of the
so-called conservative republican clique
would begin to appreciate the disinter
ested and patriotic motives which jn
feelispire such an eloquent burst of no-pay
ng.
In the Herald of June Beth, after
commenting upon the probable effects
of the National Convention to be held
in August at Philadelphia, and of which
he places Senators Doolittle, Dixon and
Cowan among the leaders, he thus gra
phically pictures the appearance of Con
gress:
" When we look at the present Con
gress, we behold the Republican party
as it exists ha its moral and political de
generacy. A more corrupt body than
this Congress never disgraced any coun
try. It is one immense, concentrated,
detestable job from beginning to end.
It is composed of men who made dis
honest fortunes during the war; of bo
gus (.3enerals, who killed only their own
uteri ; of knavish contractors, who pur
chased their seats in order to continue
their robberies of the Treasury; of rav
lug fatisMiesiwho ought to , be in Bed

ambition is ii teal enough to build a

love to air their theories, Dut . who have
not a single practical idea; and of weak
minded members, who are entirely nn
derthe Control of the jobbers in the lob

Stop and reflect, ye misled members
of the Republican ranks, ere proceeding
farther in support of this degenerate
monopoly. Confiding in the wisdom
and mtegrity , of; your forefathers, and
following the . dietstes of your own im
partial- judgment,-you espoused a cause
which this prophetic, saint of straddle
the-fence notoriety informs you is de
grading in its moral and political ten
dency.' Disregarding the patriotic ap
peals of Vallandigham, Voorhees,. Har
ris, the Woods; and others of like capa
city, during a fearful civic struggle, you
gave your unqualified support to this
same scheming Congress, which pro
claimed at home and abroad the supre
macy of our glorious Union. How can
you ever repair this error? -Look! the
prophet Bennett, his gray locks blown
about by popular currents, his piercing
eye blinking with intrigue deep and
subtle, raises his prophetic finger, much
worn with the handling of, hard coil,
and points to the October ballot-box.
Boys, you who danced in blue to the
tune of Yankee Doodle during the late
