GOVERNOR SMITH AND THK O’NEAL
HANGING.
EX-GOVERNOR WISE AND VIRGINIA
POLITICS.
GEN. LONGSTUEET ON HIS DEFENSE.
We hare seen a letter from Gen. Long-
street, written to a prominent Georgian, in
which he alludes to the charge made in a
Mobile paper to the effect that he was re
sponsible for the loss of the battle of Gettys
burg.
General L. says that as soon as he can col
lect the facts and the figures (in a very few
days) he will publish an argument and a map
goiDg to Bhow that he was not responsible for
this loss, and which will go far to place this
burden on the shoulders that are really the
right ones to bear it
It is a matter ot national importance, and
the American people will look with great in
terest to anything that will settle this much
mooted question.
Governor Smith had a very interesting in
terview with Mr. Patiilo, of the Methodist,
and Mr. Leftwich, of the Presbyterian Church
on the morning of O’Neal’s banging.
It seems that O’Neal had hoped, in the first
place, that the petitions sent by his attorneys,
the pleadings of his relatives, and the presen
tation of new evidence, and affidavits by
them, would hare procured for him a commu
tation of his sentence to imprisonment for
life.
It was his plan, though iu case this
effort failed, that Mr. Patiilo and Mr. Left
wich should ro to the Governor at nine o’clock
on the morning of the execution, and plead
for one week’s respite, on the ground that he
hid not made his peace with God, and that
in a week’s time they might be able to pre
pare his soul for the grave. So, on the night
before Friday, when Mr. Patiilo left O Neal
for the night, it was under the promise that
on the next day, bright and early, he would
in person lay the petition for the respite be
fore the Governor,. The next morning, learn
ing that the Governor would not commute,
they sought an audience and obtained it.
The points made by the ministers were:
First, that O’Neal all his life had been a lusty,
vigorous fellow, wicked in every sense of the
word, raised in dissipation, schooled in im
morality and perfectly ignorant of anything
touching upon religion, or the great scheme
of redemption. Secondly, that up to one
o’clock the night before O'Neal had believed
so fully in the obtainance of a respite or
a commutation, that he had confined
his efforts to the saving of his life, and
they bad been utterly unable to
persuade him to address himself to
the higher and holier task of saving his soul;
and, thirdly, that in the few hours left before
the execution (distracted, as they must be,
with the agony of parting with his friends:
and consumed, as they must be, almost en
tirely, by the necessary preparations for
death), it would be impossible for him to
grasp the plan of redemption or appreciate or
understand the great* change that he must
make to be saved; that the complete tearing
up of all his life-time ideas of religion and
his deep-rooted indifference to heavenly mat
ters could not be effected in the few hours
left him except by almost a miracle. But
that if they could get a week’s
respite in which to address O Neal,
daring which time he wonld be perfectly
certain oLdeath'within a week, they would be
able to save him.
These strong points were laid before the
Governor, and doubtless felt the strain
brought upon him very severely. He believed,
however, tint O’Neal ought to be hung, and
he resisted all efforts made to obtain a res
pite.
It is all over now, and we suppose it is best
that it is. It appeared at first glance to be
rather hard-hearted in Smith to fail to listen
to an appeal that came lrom God's Min
isters, pleading for only a day or two
in which being to preach God's truths,
but a few moments reflection will show
the inevitable bad effects which would
have sprung out of his yielding. Hereafter,
no criminal would have shown signs of con
version until the last hour, and he would
have plead for his week's time in which “to
set his house in order.” O'Neal’s case was a
very hard one: but Governor Smith did not
bring him to ifc. It is a matter of congratu
lation that G^brgia, at last, has a Governor
whom nothing .o*n swerve from what he be
lieves to be right and just.
There is nothing that impresses the crimi
nal with such fear, or nothing which deters
the wicked man from felonious action with
such terrible power, as the ceiiainiy of pun
ishment in case he is convicted.
Governor Smith is teaching this lesson
very decisively, and if his examples are sylla
bled in blood, it is simply because the case
is desperate and a heroic remedy, is neees-
sarv.
CAPTAIN JACK.
Captain Jack has missed a greut oppor
tunity. As a grim and silent warrior, sitting
like a Titan in his lava beds, fighting squarely
against despair, and battling against the in
evitable, he was a grand old man, and the
whole world, even his enemies, looked on
him with an admiration that nothing could
repress.
When he was finally deserted by Lis weaker
warriors, and by treachery turned over to his
captors, had he supplemented his noble
course in the lava beds by a calm, dignified
and heroic silence, and submitted to the
halter with a disdainful stoicism, he would
have rounded to a fine fullness a character
that iu many respects has never been
equalled, and in history would have been es
teemed the compeer of the great Osceola.
As we have said, though, he Jont his oppor
tunity. Ever since his capture he has been
voluble, telling any number of lies, and with
au unmanly eagerness has bceu pleading
apologies for his course. He has weakened,
broken down, lost his dignity and his hero
ism. And with the heroism wiped out of his
character there is very little left to admire.
Hence, with quite an equable heart, we shall
see the proud Yankees pnll their revenge ont
of poor Jack at the end of a hempen rope.
In October Virginia will elect a Governor.
The fight promises to be very interesting, as
Virginia possesses a phase of politics pe
culiar to herself.
it will be remembered that just after the
war, a scalawag named Wells was her
Governor, and was said to be a very great
rascal. Upon the declination of his term he
announced himself a candidate for re-elec
tion. In the meantime, thongh, the best
men of his party becomiog disgusted with
him had shelved him, and nominated Gilbert
C. Walker, a Republican of Conservative
stripe and fine personal character, as his op
ponent. The nominee of the Democrats was
Col. Withers, of Lynchburg. Finding that
they could not elect him, they united with
the Walker Republicans, and under the
name of the “Conservative Party,” elected
him by a tremendous majority, beatiug out
the Wells ring in a splendid manner. The
wisdom of this course was proved by the
success of Walker’s regime, and the Conser
vative parly kept well together.
Iu the coming race, it proposes to nominate
the son of Robt. E. Lee, aud the Radical
party will nominate Hughes, formerly the
editor of the Examiner. In a straight out
and out fight between these parties, the Radi
cals would be badly beaten.
But a distracting element now enters upon
the scene. Ex-Governor Henry A. Wise, who
is a “straight” or a “Red Hot,” evinces some
signs of returning aspiration, and yearns for
the comfortable plush of the Gubernatorial
chair. He attacks the Conservatives, and he
attacks the Radicals. He wants a new party
based upon certain insane propositions which
he publishes.
He say 8:
If I thought I could succeed in opposition
to both of the present organizations of the
State, I would declare myself a candidate for
the office of Governor immediately; but I am
without a purse and without a press to con
tend with the two already banded to make
nominations. I will not incur the odium by
running of electing the one or the other. But i
if either the Conservative or Republican Con
vention will abstain from nominating a can-
didate Of its OWU, I will, as an ^pendent beats rat poison to dc . alll
candidate, oppose the nomination of the
other; I care not which abstains or which

subside into private citizenship, vote the Con

removal to another place of burial. The body
had been buried some months,and was exceed
