Of late, hanging has been a matter of no uncommon occurrence; the task, hither con sidered so unpleasant, is now quite generally attended by the sheriffs of surrounding counties, and is generally criticised. The latest to suffer this extrema penalty of the law was John J. Morphy, executed yesterday afternoon, at Stockton, for the murder ot Patrick Murray, a crime committed in Octo ber, 1«68.

At the shot all rushed to the room, including the invalid sister. The latter spoke a few words to the wounded man and then went to the door through which the shot had been fired, and while talking with Murphy, whom they met there, Murray got up and crawled away. A terrible sight met their gaze on tbe return to the room. A large pool of blood rested where the current producing it being nnintermittent so long as the points of coke remain nncon- sumed.

Two or two and a half horse power are ample.to produce the rotation of three bob bins or broad-edged discs covered with copper wire, and acting upon six pairs of soft iron parallel bars similarly covered. Magnets are entirely dispensed with in the production of the power, which is derived altogether from friction, there being no battery brought into the circuit in any shape or form.

The grand jury of Sau Joaquin county re turned an indictment for murder against the prisoner on the 10th of November, 1868, and trial was commenced on the 22nd of February, 1869. The testimony was substantially the same as given above; the prisoner, upon being The inventor proposes to produce chemically pure copper, which is now worth from three to four shilling a pound, at the cost of ordi nary commercial copper; potassium and sodi um at less than half their present price; alum- ninm, now at seventy-tire shillings per pound, at thirty or thirty-live, and magnesium calcium aod other rare metals at prices which will bring them into commercial use. But even its application to the purification of iron alone there would seem to bt« an immense SULPHUR AND CHALYBEATE Springs, NEAR ROCERSVILLE, TENNESSEE. placed upon the witness stand testifying that j f or t g e une c f e lectricit3’, the inventor of the deed was ( J°“ e * "There now" ' ^is machine having tbe courage to declare pby swore thatshej i CT , Q ’ r , T ^’ that he will purify two tons of pig iron from you’ve missed him,” when the cap snapped, but, “ThankGod, you’ve missed him.” The case went to the jury on the fitth day of the trial. On the 27th day of February they re turned a verdict of “guilty of murder in the first degree.” Motion for a new trial was made and denied, and a few days later Judge Cavis passed the death sentence. The remarks of Jndge Cavis to the prisoner previous to sentence at this trial gave a gen eral idea of the crime. Counsel for the defendant took an appeal to the Supreme Court, and a stay of proceed- ing* were granted until a decision could be had. On the 27th ot Januarp, 1870, a remit titur was issued from the Supreme Court, re versing the judgement of the District Court and ordering a new triaL AGAIN ON TRIAL. The new trial was commenced on the four teenth of August, 1871, betore Judge Lewis Ramage—Judge S. A. Booker, the then pre siding Judge of the Fifth Judicial District Court, being disqualified by reason of having been employed as counsel in the former triaL The same verdict was returned by another jury on the nineteenth of August. Another appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, but this time without success, they, on the tenth of December, affirming the judgment of the court below; and on the twentieth of Febru ary, 1873, Judge A. C. Bradford again passed sentence of death, fixing tbe day for the twenty-fifth of ApriL THE LAST ACT. At one o'clock everything was in readiness for the carrying out of the last sentence of the law. The well tried rope, with the forbidding noose, had been placed in position, the plat form rained and bolt drawn into place; the weights which were to suddenly withdraw it hung by a mere piece of span yarn; the wit nesses had placed themselves in the most favorable position, with a universal wish that this legal tragedy was well over. Standing at one side of the scaffold were Drs. C. A. Haggles, county physician, and E. A. Stock- ton, who were to make examinations after the drop should fall. THE PROCESSION. At exactly nine minutes after one the prison doors opentd and the mournful procession passed out to the scaffold. Sheriff Cunning ham and Under Sheriff A. B. Bennett led the way, close!v followed by Father O Connell and the prisoner, John J. Murphy, and Dep uties D. O. Hf»rroldson, A. J. Tibbetts, O. G. Landmaid and J. J. Evans. With a steo that showed little nervousness, the doomed man walked directly to the centre of the trap, glancing around and nodding to such as he was acquainted with among those present. He was dressed in a full 3uit of black, and bul tor the deathly palor that overspread his face, one would have thought that his coming fate was a matter of perfect indifference to him. At ten minutes past one tbe death warrant was read by Under Sheriff Bennett, in a loud, clear voice, and daring the reading the eyea of the prisoner se«med riveted npon him. BIS LAST WORDS. At the conclusion Sheriff Cunningham ask ed him if he had anything to say to him, op those around him. With the utmost noncha lance he replied, “I don’t know that I have. I have done nothing that I feel bad about. Although 1 have killed, I do not consider that I have committed a murder. I would do it again under the same circumstances. I acted in defense of my sister, m any man would do. To the officers 1 return my thanks for their uniform kindness to me during my incarcera tion. If, during my lifetime, I have injured any person, I ask to be forgiven, and I treely forgive those who have injured me. Friends, I bid you all a last good-by.” As be concluded his remarks, he stepped from the trap and shook bands with those up- phosphorus, sulphur, carbon and silica in eighteen to twenty minutes, at a saving of two-thirds of the coal. These are daring promises, and yet the ex periments actually performed in the presence of scientific visitors on this occassion appear to guarantee their fulfillment. For instance, a platinum wire was melted in forty seconds, and a copper wire in less than two. A solid steal screw four inches long was burned away in five minutes, and a piece of diamond, the most difficult of substances to burn, was re duced to vapor in a few seconds. The Lon don Telegraph Department has been using one of the new machines for some time, and has worked all of its wires with it with entire suc cess, a good evidence of the merit of the in vention. The inventor, M. Gramme, will take his apparatus to the Vienna Exposition, and, if the hopes cherished by himself and many others who have examined it are realized, it will probably stand at the head of all the new inventions exhibited on that occasion for general utility. If suc cessful, it will effectually break up the gas monopolies with which the inhabitants of European and American cities are burdened, and proclaim in characters of light from every street corner the benefits which science and its pale-faced students, often laagbed At as dreamers, are forever conferring upon man kind in all the walks of life. mHIS FAVORITE WATERING PLACE AND PLEA- ant Summer Resort will be open for visitor* May 1st, 1873.

From the Cincinnati Commercial, May C. A Southern gentleman of the name of Sam uel L. Lee, a member of the illustrious Vir ginia house of that name, is at the present writing suffering the indignity of incarceration in one of the city station houses on the base charge of petit larceny. Mr. Lee is a person of imposing physique and austere manners, i with a pleasing confidence in his superiority to everything mundane and everything hu man. He has a pocket full of recom mendations and letters of introduction from distinguished Southern fighters and legislators, one of his certificates of character and ability bearing the signature of his ex-Ex- I cellency Jefferson Davis. He is equipped be- I sides with an enormous bundle of railroad J and steamboat passes, agreeably diversified j with a hundred or so newspaper notices of his I lecture on “God and the Ocean,’* which, it ! seems, he has been delivering in tbe Southern | country with flattering success. It is evident j from Mr. Lee’s conversation and from the no- | tices of his lecture that he is a man of con siderable attainments. What brought the gentleman hither is not definitely known. The story is that he had some difficulty with the people of Lexington, Kentucky, about a young woman in an edu cational establishment, of which he had charge over there, and left that part of the country to escape personal violence. Be that as it may, he found his way to Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago, and has ever since been hovering about the Cincinnati, In dianapolis and Lafayette Railroad office ostensibly for the purpose of secur ing employment The strange co incidence presented by the disappear ance of articles of clothing from the coat-racks of the office nearly every time be withdrew therefrom, induced the belief in some minds that Mr. Lee was clandestinely abstracting the garments for the purpose of placing an eccentric and exacting relative, “his uncle,” who wonld only furnish him the means of staying his stomach on his offering up wearing apparel and the like as a daily sacrifice. The suspicion so formed grew rap idly, and Mr. Lee was yesterday arrested on the charge of larceny.
