crop of SSOJKOfiOO babels this year, against

in 1840, when the yield was the largest ever

As some of our readers take a deep interest
in borr.es, ire copy the following item from
the Indianapolis Sentinel of the 21st:
The arie of blooded horses belonging to the
stud of David A. Gage, at Riverside, Illinois,
closed on the 20th. The celebrated trotting
in are Clara O, sold to 8. C. Chase, of Boston,
for $15,000; John H, a trotter of fine quality,
■old to Colonel Love Ben ham, of St. Louis,
for $7,500; Ida May, bay mare well known,

brought $2,400; Pbo-nix Belie, sold to S. T.
Webster, of Chicago, for $t,450. The entire
amount of the sale foots up about $50,OO^.
Wrong,
The New York World is guilty of the ab
surdity of saying that Baltimore ought to be
contnr led by the Democracy of those States
that have Democratic majorities, and the
party in those States baring Radial majori
ties abotilil bare no vote. It goes so faru
to designate the rota of such Stales at Bal
timore a an impertinence. It is this sort of
asanmacy and absurdity that blotches the
ability of the World. BncU expression of
• opinion a this can do no good. It it a wrong
to the Democracy of the Radically-held
Slates, and is calculated to do what it maul
Pi accomplish, via: make trouble in the
party-
The rcceipta this week are 6,000 boles, 12,000
less Ilian last year and SjOOO lea than two
years since. It is likely the receipts for next
week will be 4,000 bales, compared with
16,000 U»t year, 3,000 the year before, and
receipts at interior towna 1,000, compared
with 3.0 0 last year and 1,0X1 the year before.
The average of the thermometer for the past
week has been eighty-five degrees, at noon,
for two days it stood at ninety-two degrees—
fire clear days, two days doody sed showery
and a good general ram one night. The cot
ton plant is growing a finely a possible, and
if the present status continues the crop will be
the largest ever grown, but we will have some
drawbacks before winter. Catarpillara arc
are already reported at several pl-.ccs in the
West, bat a it is too early yet for the army
it is likely they will do no barm at
The Delaware Strawberry Crap.
The Wilmington Commercial of tho lOtli
ays the lint shipment of strawberries from
that State in any quantity wa made on the
•.‘3d of May—throe cars—and the shipments
continued to gradually increase until the 8d
of June, when the unprecedented number of
fifty-one can wa attained. Between the 23d
of May and last Monday (the 17th of June,)
444 an passed Northward from the Dele-
ware Railroad. Estimating 250 crates, or
8.000 quarts, to the car load, the usual esti
mate, we find that 3,000,472 quarts of berries
were shipped from the Renin? ula At eight
rents per quart, this shipment will yield Pi
the grower $227,260—s sum equal to
realized in the three preceding yean.
Itadical Blasphemy.
A Grant ratification meeting was held in
Washington on the 25th. Senator Nye, of
Nevada, used the following horrible blas
phemy:
We shall not bo beaten, because it is fore
ordained of Almighty God that the Republi
can party ha not accomplished its work
until every man, woman and child stand
firm on their foet We have beaten them on
cvciy field of strife. Wc have been their
master from the Potomac to the Gulf—
Ucana our ante is just No matter of what
color—lhank God, we clothed the stars with
the imperishable garments of freedom. Let
Greeley bowl I Let Sumner whine! The
man who doubts Grant's election is an infidel.
Judge Mackey, of Booth Carolina, thus
played'on theold card of “loilty" and vll
liflos his people:
He believed that the bane involved in the
pending election was one of domestic peace
•>r war. Grant, to the Southern mind, sym
bolized the idea of loyalty to the Union, and
pi defeat him would be to fortify and
strengthen the party of reaction in the South
ern States. In the State of South Carolina,
during the post four years, nearly fonr hun
dred Republicans had been slain and three
thousand scourged because of their lo
to the government of their country.
was done by the Ku-KIux, who are but the
skirmish line thrown out by tho Democracy
of the North.
Tue monsoen has not yet.begun in India,
and it is getting very late. It usually begins
about 10th of June, and continues wire se
verity about forty days—the average fall
of rain being twenty-fire inches in that
time. After the monsoon, the rains fall
about as they do in this country until
January when they cease altogether until the
period for the monsoon again. The slock of
cotton at Liverpool has been counted tbl:
week, and found as we intimated it would be,
to have been under estimated about fifty
thousand boles, bat the stock of the Amuri
can was found to be abort ten thousand
bales. The stock of cotton in Liverpool now
is, for the first time since the war, over one
million bales. There will he new cotton on
the market for sale from Texas wi'.hiu four
weeks. What is called the American cotton
in sight is stocks a: interior towns, stock*
at United Siala ports, stock at Liverpool,
afloat for Liverpool and the amount ex
ported the past week, which is ncvci reported
in the amount afloat for Liverpool These
few items constitute wliat is called American
cotton in sight, and the amount so in sight
has been for four years at this date ns follows:
I860. 360,000 bales; 1»70. 664,000 bides;
1871, 746,000 baits; 1872, .'.30000 bales
Price in Liverpool same time was 12J
10, 81, and 11J pence. Price in New
York same time 34 J, 201, 21, and 26J
cents. We now have the quantity on hand
and the price, and the following figures
Here the amounts required each week by tbe
•pinners of Manchester for I860,17.000; 1870,
28.000 hales; 1871.38jOCO bales, and for 1872,
thus far, 33,000 bales. Required by tbe spin
ners of the United Stata per week for 1860,
15.000 bales; 1870,18,000 bales; 1371,20,000
boles; 1872, thus far, 21,000 bales. These
figures are about correct, but the mills always
have a stock on hand which an only be esti
mated, and then not very correctly.
During tbe past three weeks Manchester
spinners have reduced their slocks 50,000
bales, one-half of which is American; and
our own spinners have reduced their spicks
30.000 bales in the same time. Whether they
have stock enough on hand to continue to
ran their mills to their full capacity, and still
go on reducing them at this rate, nr whether
they will be compelled; before the new
crop comes to band, to enter
market in competition with .
speculators and thus put the price up
mnch higher, our readers most judge for
themselves; we have given them all the
figures for the past, by which they an see
that scarcity‘of^cotton causes high prices
and this, ln'ita turn, reduces the demand
from spinners, snd plenty of cotton pro
duces the opposite effect. One other thing
will be noticed, that in 18611 the vciy high
price caused spinners to reduce their takings
to tbe smallest possible amount, but since
that time the great increase ill the
demand for goods all over the world, and
particularly in India, Japan, and China, to
gether with long prices, has caused new mills
p> lie built, so that tbe quantity of American
cotton absolutely needed by the world is
three and three quarter millions per year,
whereas four years ago, two millions
sufficient There is no doubt the vciy splen
did prospect of the growing crop lias much
to do with the prices just now.
How lo Win success.
It is impossible, ays the Baltimore Ga
zette. to dwell with too mnch earnestness
upon tbe importance of thorough and com
plete union in the Democratic ranks. There
never wa a time in the history of onr party
when more self-abnegation was demanded—
when a greater amount of perrons] sacrifice
was needed to secure the defeat of our reck-
lots and unscrupulous opponents. That the
political situation Is foil of peril no one can
doubt; that serious apprehensions for the
future are entertained by some of our best
and wisest statesmen, is a fact that calls for
the most prudent action, not only on the part
of the laden, but also among the entire
rank ami fife of the party. That the
large majority of the Democracy
will unhesitatingly obey tho decision
of the Democratic National Conven
lion, whatever its voice may lie, la un
questionably tree; but there are sorno wbo,
nt Ibis Umc, openly announce their inten-
1 ions pot to be bound by its action, unless
the decree registered by that body shall be
in strict accordance with their own views
and opinions. This is as unwise a it is im-
politic. Men who permit themselves to
be tints madly carried away by tbe passions
and prejudices of the hour, may find, when
it is too lalt- that they have unwittingly
aided in the perpetuation of the worst Ad
ministration that ever curse 1 any country.
It should, therefore, be the daily duty of
ivcry Democrat to urge upon his brethren
tue vast importance of union, harmony
and conciliation, in the utmost degree, and
to counsel every one within hia reach to
look with entire confidence to tbe Democratic
National Convention a the only recognized
1 preventative of the party whoa behests
Mouldin' beard and ob-yed. Tbe only hope
. f tbe Radicals is in tbe distensions of tbe
kmocrary. By a division of nor ranks
1 hty expect to conquer. They will use every
effort to foment discord in onr midst, and
U lien they accomplish their work, they will
* .ugli at our calamity and mock when our
fear comes. <In two weeks more the Na
tional Convention wUl assemble in Balti
more. it promises to be the largest and
ui.ist intelligent meeting of freemen that
ever assembled in the Union. Thousands
from all quarters of the Republic will gather
1 .re to join in this grand demonstration
s .sinsr the corrupt faction now in power.
1** fact, as well a in name,let it be tbe oracle
i f the great Democratic party. By that
. m we will conquer; but in no other way
i_n we hope for success. Tue prize is within
1 i.r grasp. If we fail to secure it, it will
or.lv Ik bcom-c we neglected to profit by the
tracking of all time that in unioats strength,
and that without it the best and holiest cause
may be last.
The Indirect Hsmagca Surer
The supreme farce entitled “Indirect
Damages,” and written and played liy Grant'
Radical administration, ha ended. Tbe
telegraph has brought us word that*t is over
foren r. And such • farce. It would be all
fanny if the United States, as a nation, had
not some stock in it of dignity. But'what
ever of mirth arises at it is at the expense of
the national esteem. Therefore much laugh
ing is out of order. But to redeem the ridi
cule, the matter so thoroughly demonstrates
the utter incompctency of the Grant dynasty
that it will be a compensation for any lose
of dignity if the thing will help make the
country kick nut tbe Grants.
The claim of indirect damages w as made
in violation of the letter id the treaty. It
WU refused to be considered by the English
government. After immense bluster and
threatening, Gram tried to trick a withdraw
al of the claim. This failed. The matter
has been settled by the Geneva Conference
declaring the claim inadnibsablc, and thus
branding tbe action of tbe United States
that settlement simply adjudicate- that the
Grant administration has done a folly.
Governor Smith has filled the vacancy-in
tho Judgeship of the Cherokee Circuit occa
sioned by tbe dratli of Judge Parrott, by the
appointment of C. D. McCutckcn, E-q., of
Dalton, Ga.
A better selection could not have been
nude. The writer knows the J udge well. He
is a first-class lawyer and a gentleman ot
unusual moral worth. He possesses cvcry
qualily for a number one Judge, lie has
brains, legal knowledge, high honor, unfalter
ing nerve, and a hart as broad as out-doors.
There is not a more generally esteemed citi
zen in his acctiou. Of pure life aud habits,
he is an exemplar of morality. lie is a solid
member of the church.
He had competitors for the position in gen
tlemen of first merit, and his selection from
such worthy aspirants was a tribute to him.
We congratulate Governor Smith on the
appointment It will give satisfaction to the
good people. It will serve the cause of Geor
gia justice; and it will beacreditto Governor
Smith’s administration.
Announcement.
Atlanta, Ga, June29,1872.
7b lit Hwpfe 0/ Gtoryia:
For months past I have been solicited, per
sonally and by letters from friends in all por
tions of the State, to submit my name as a
candidate for Governor. Now that the Ex
ecutive Committee has called a Convention
to meet in this city on the 24lh day of the
coming month to nominate a candidate fo:
Governor, I deem it a fit opportunity to an
•wer these solicitations, and to announce that
I am a candidate for the position.
As a candidate for that position I do not
feel called upon to discuss the present excit
ing Isaacs of national politics.
What Georgia needs is a good, sound and
eoonomial administration. SiripjKd of
much of much of her materia! wealth by
the results of the war and subsequently of
much that was left her by the harpies woo
preyed upon her in the hour of her distress
and helplessness, she now finds herself bur
dened with an immense debt for the carrying
of which her people are gloriously taxed.
Tbe people need ami demand relief,
prompt, full aud adequate to their great
necessities, snd if Isball be honored wiih the
position, 1 rasv say that all of my energies
will be devoted to tbe task of restoring the
credit, the prosperity and the honor ol ike
noble old Commonwealth, if the people
shall think and decide that some other gen
tleman is belter entitled to the high honors of
her Chief Magistrate, it will afford me a
sincere pleasure to promptly bow to their ex-
praised wishes. John II. James.

When Uio young ladies had finished read
ing their compositions, Mrs. Maria J. Wcst-
morclaud, of your city, mid an interesting
essay on the subject: M What Shall Our
Women Do?” In her elegant and polished
stylo she set fortli the duties of our women.
Not a craving after the bullot-box or the

cofiijKisitiou it should bo heard, and we hope
it may be published that all may see it.
Now came the awarding of diplomas by
Prof. Cnx. After making a few remarks,
which almost brought tears to the eyes of
Hie chiss, be delivered them to the eleven
beautiful and accomplished young ladies who
coinfMMed the graduating, who accepted them
with a graceful bow. Mrs. Westmoreland,
who graduated at thU college some years u"(.
was presented with an honorary degree. Di
Skinner, of Columbus, was now introduced
to the audience. He was selected to make
speech to llic graduating class. He read
very interesting and instructive lecture
the Bible. Had it been &i>oken
would have been listened to with
far deeper degree of interest. What
spoken would be vciy impressive and inter
esting, when read falls comparatively Hat and
stale. AU were looking forward with the
grandest expectation to the “levee” ot the
college, and I dare say none were disap
pointed. The halls were filled with the
lieauties of LaGrangc and the surrounding
country. The silver comet band, of this
plac*, entertained the listeners with sweet
music. There was a pet feet flow of soul and
feast of reason. At a late hour the crowd
dispersed, uttering words of highest praise
and commendation of Prof. Cox and his
school. And for our part we feel convinced
that there is not a letter institution in the
country for the education of young ladies.

And a grand aflaic it was. Oat of a class of

fifty special yocal pupils, under such teachers

a grand musical entertainment we had never
seen before. Such an assemblage of finely

OUR IOWA. LETTER.
Politic* and other matters.
Fort Dodge, Webster Co., Iowa,
June 21,1872.
Editors Constitution: * * * * Many
thanks for the copies of The Constitution
containing the speeches of Linton Stephens,
B. H. Hill and Robert Toombs. I am very
much obliged for your kind consideration in
forwarding them, as I have been most anx
ious to know what Georgia thought of the
Cincinnati Convention.
Mr. Linton Stephens* oration was a master-
S ' effort, the argument good, and the style
mple and strong. However, it was "all
wrong.
The Cincinnati Convention has so stirred
np the political waters that purty lines
barely distinguishable. Here iu this State
which gave Grant 50,000 majority in 1868,
everything is upside down. Iu Carroll coun
ty the Radicals, Liberals and Democrats
aU for Greelry. In Clayton county the Rad
ical Central Committee, on hearing of Grant’s
re-nomin ttinn resigned their positions and
went over to Greeley.
This State will undoubtedly give a majori
ty for Grant but not more than 20,000, il
that. I have conversed with many promi
nentu en in this State, and they are nearly
all for Greeley. In Algona I found myseif
in a room with nine Republicans, of whom,
seven were enthusiastic supporters of the
“Chappaqua faimer.”
Ken. Hill’s speech suits me. I would like
to be in Georgia during the campaign.
Attempt to murder near Grantvillc
Grantville, Ga , June 27,1872.
Edit rs Constitution: An attempt
made to murder with glass, on the
night of the 25th instant, on the
plantation of the widow Strickland,
near this p'ace. One of her laborers, Sam
Naulls, colored, owns two very good mules,
and bad paid for them with the exception
of a few dollars. Some low down demon
beat up glass and mixed it up in dough and
gave it to the males; but as luck would have
it, and you may say misfortune too, only
one of thefh cat the dough. The
mule that cat the dough is not dead
as yet, but there is no telling when
it might die. The other mule, it seems,
took a scare :.nd ran oat of the stable during
the time, and the murderer must have gotten
frightened at it and missed the troug h, or put
it where the male could not get it; and the
dough was found yesterday morning near
the irouirh with glass a pkmy in it, and signs
in ilic other mules troug r and on its mouth
to convince any one. Il had eat all that was
given it. I saw the dough, and several others,
and il was full of beai up gloss.
No clue as yet has been obtained who the
perpetrate! was that did the hideous deed.
These are tue facts as I could gather them.
Yours respectfully,

Editors Constitution ;\hisTnstitutc, after
most interesting examination of the higher
classes during the day, dosed its spring scs
sion with a concert at night, and as autid-
pitted, it proved to Cbjk brilliant affair, ~*-
plete with choice selections of vocal aud
stmmental mu-ie. Thu programme was
arranged as to carefullv-^provide for the dif
ferent styles and ditffc^nt tastes in music.
The performers, with the exception of one,
were exclusively members of the music dass,
and well did they do justice to themselves,
their respective pieces or songs, as well
to their teacher.
Where all did so well.it is rather adelicate
task to make mention of a single performer
or performeress, but wo cannot restrain our
selves from expressing our surprise to find in
a small place like llogansville, a town al
most in its infancy, yet such extraordinary
skill displayed in music.
Miss 1 auia Moor is certainly blessed with
wonderful vocal powers, and the artistic
manner in which she sang the prayer from
“Stradella,” and “Oh, my Fernand/’from u
opera “La Favorita,” give full assurance of
careful training of licr voice. Success to this

great credit for rendering the overture to
“ Tancredi,” mod the Mazurka Caprice “ The
Whispering Wind,” in a most finished and
elaborate style. Wc predict for the young
lady, being not quite fourteen years old, n
brilliant futu.e in her musical career, and
she well may congratulate herself of enjoy

exquisite song. Long shall we remember
and never to “forget” her sweet, pathetic
voice.

a masterly style.
31iss Lily Moore warbled forth with a bird
like voice Fabis’ celebrated bird song, “Tell
Ble, Birdie, Why.”
The vocal ana instrumental duets were fine
and much appreciated.
As stated above aU done so well that
only wish space and time would permit us
give the entire programme a more extensive
critic. As it is, the good will must be taken
for the deed this time.
Mr. Jos. Lowenstein, the violinist, was
tircly in bis sphere—at home—and held the
audience spell-bonnd with his magic strains.
Professor Henry Schoeller, the director of
the concert is a host within himself, who, by
the most judicious division and control of his
performers, by his tasteful selections from the
most elaborate opera song down to the aim
pie ballad, by elegant instrumental music,
and by precision in conducting a concert,
never fails to interest an audience, and well
deserves the rank he takes in his profession.

•‘A Tight Squeeze
It is an old story, but a good one, about
Jacob Miller, an old dutch miiler, who be
times would become temporarily insane. On
which occasions he would imagine himself
the Lord, come to join the world.
Mounting a pile of flour, he would assume
all the exterior dignity of a judicial officer,
and at once commence to judge his neighbor
ing craftsmen; making and answering the
interrogations himself. He would commence
with Hans Gotlcb’s case.
“Hans Gotlcb, stand oop. HansGotleb,
vnt vas your peesnissin dat odder vorldt?”
“I vas a miller, O Lordt” “Vaa you a sbust
man, Hans Gotlcb?'* “Vel sometimes veu
dc vater lie vas low, and de r peesniss he vas
pad*, ' lakes pnrdy high tolea.” “Vel
right Hons Gotleb; you shall go on de left
side wit dc goats.”
And in this manner the crazy old fellow
would call up one after another of the n fi
lers of his acquaintance, asking the same
questions, getting the some replies, aud inva
riably sentencing them to “de leftside mil de
goats.” Last of all he would judge himself
after this who:
“Jacob Miller stand oop. “Jacob Miller,
vat vas your peesness in#iat odder vorldt f*
“I vas a miller, O Lonlt.” “Vas you a sbust
man, Jacob 3Iiller?” “Vel sometimes ven
de vater he vas low, I dakes purty stiff doles,
but I always gives dein extra doles to
poor.” “Vel Jacob Miller you shall go
de right side mit de sheeps; but it is a darn
ed tight squeeze.’’

being threatened with a contagious disease,
said to his little son, who, in an affectionate
mood, wished to emulate him, “ You mustn’t

his pkpa (who, by the way, is a pattern of
propriety,) and quick asked, “Why, papa,

Woman’s Equality.
The fair sex are a queer set; we gave them
up ever since, when we were six years old,
our bewitching blue-eyed Mary Jane, who
had plighted her eternal troth to us, jilted us
for a fellow who was twice as big as we were
—so safe from our revenge—because be had
a new top. Now, 31 ary Jane could not spin
a top—spinning tops is not in the female line;
it is not a privilege of the sex; on the other
hand, it is one of the forbidden delights.
We never knew a girl who could fasten the
twine around a top, much less send it down
humming upon the boards on its iron peg, as
the superior sex learns so readily to do. Our
fairy Mary could look on while that lubberly
Tom performed this feat; but so could the
rest of us, and she was no better off than if
she bod been true to her first love. Slic
never tried to spin a top, for aught we know,
but used to follow the possessor about as
though she shared some of tbe grandeur of
such a possession. We gave the sex up from
that time to this, as a conundrum too com
plicated for us to solve. If Mary Jane had
been presented with a new doll, wc should
not have striven to learn how to nurse the
sham baby; nor, if another girl had been
favored, should we have dreamed of changing
our allegiance.. Woman’s nature seems dif
ferent from man’s nature—higher, better and
purer, we are ready lo swear it is; but dif
ferent, certainly.

which was in the following order: A body
of guards, a buggy containing Uolscnbake,
driven by Mr. Hudson; buggy contain’
Lloyd, driven by tho Sheriff; guards, ph;
dans and reporters
The guards were on each flank of the bug
gies, a deputy sheriff being in the immediate
rear of each. At twenty minutis past eleven
the procession moved at a slow p\cc, followed
by crowds. Uolscnbake appeared to suffer
much mentally, but Lloyd was indifferent.
THE GALLOWS
was erected on a piece of waste ground situ
ated al>out a quarter of a mile from the city*
which formerly belonged to the murdered
man, Fish. The hideous machine was well
put up by Mr. James Lowry, of
Oglethorpe. It reached sixteen feet from
the ground to the top of the beam;
the drop platform being placed in the
middie eight feet from the ground. Clo-^e
by were the coffins that were to receive the
bodies of the men then living. That of Hol-
senbake was a Fisk inclalic case, f iraished by
Messrs. Griffin & Hyatt, of Montezuma.
Lloyd’s coffin was of walnut, covered with
block cloth. On the arrival nt the place of
execution, Uolscnbake was assisted up, as
the wound lie received iu the tliigh prevented
his walking or even standing alone. Lloyd
walked up with much firmness. Both then
sat down, umbrellas being held over them.
The heat was now iutense.
The ropefc were now produced aud were
adjusted by Sheriff Lee, assisted by Mr.
Garnage, a former Sheriff of the county, and
Deputy Sheriff Greer. The fatal noose was
first put over the head of Lloyd, w ho, seizing
it in his hands, tried its strength and appa
rently the possibility of it giving away from
above. When it cainc lo ilolscnback’s turn,
he rose, and not being satisfied witb the
length, asked for more rope, and measuring
the drop by liis own length bv putting the
noose on his toe, remarked, “ If it has got to
come, let it come.” The adjusting of the
rope occupied some time, aud exactly at 11:50,
Sheriff Lee announced the execution was
about to take place. He said they had one
hour to live, aud during that time each of
them would l»e allowed thirty minutes to ud-
dress the crowd if they wished.
UOLSBNDAKE SPEAKS
Uolscnbake rose with difficulty, lie was
supported on each side. Lloyd was silting
down chewing tobacco calmly, with his bock
against one of the posts. He eyed Holsen-
bakc closely and listened to him with pro
found attention. Having taken water freely,
Holscnbakc said, in substance, as follows
Fellow-citizens, wc arc met hen: on a most
solemn occasion—met here to tako my life.
I entreat your prayers. I ask your fervent
prayers in my behalf. The fervent prayer of
the righteous uvailctli much, and in pray
ing for mo you may convert your own
souls. I appear before you as a criminal
about to suffer an ignominious death,
but I can sincerely say that nt heart I am
no criminal. I am alxmt to i>c unjustly
executed. I have failed to obtain justice in
the courts of 1 iw. The laws have been ille
gally or unjustly executed. I do not s|»eak
as a lawyer, but so it seems to me. 1 am ar
raigned as the principal for the crime of mur
dering a man who has long since gone “to
that bourne from whence no traveler ’ere re
turns.” I trust God lias licen merciful to
him. I am the nuin who took Uis life. [Mur
murs of horror ] I did it wfieu under great
irritation; 1 had. lost my reason; i was a
monomaniac; 1 had nothing against Colonel
Fish, but I had beard that he had desecrated
the dearest affections of my heart; that he
had violated my household ties aud sullied
the reputation of my little daughter, who,
thank God, has lieen for months in Heaven,
and I trust I shall speedily be with her. I do
not feel as tin ugh I was the author of
this crime. Everything 1 have stated con
ccraing my accomplice has hecn honestly and
truthfully stated. I have been betrayed by
wolves in shec;>s’ clothing.
He then gave the particulars of his confes
sion to CoL U. P. Farrow, late Attorney Gen
eral for the State/staled how il was obtained,
aud said of 31r. Farrow:
1 ted you, fellow-citizens, he stands to-day
lief ore God and thi* community a degraded
and disgraced mortal. 1 have nothing against
him, but he has not only forfeited his word,
but sacrificed his honor; aud more»till, he is
a convicted pcijurer, and the court records
will prove it There is here to-day standing
before me an honorable and high-minded
gentieman, one who was engaged in my de
fense—CoL. VV. S. Wallace. 1 refer to him;
he knows what 1 say is true. I wish to God
(passionately) I knew how to talk, but my
language is inadequate to tell of the murder
ous outrage that has been perpetrated against
me. I was deranged; the separation of my
fam ly from me was my ruin. [Pause.] ■ Tin*
injuries I sustain* d in thatconuec:ion caused
me to lose iny rt-ason. [Pause.] 3Iy life
will pay the forfeit—I am executed wrong
fully—I have failed to obtain justice; it has
all been done through preiudicc; they have
suffered their pr» judices to be aroused.
He thanked aud complimented the prison
officials that had had charge of him, and
closed by saying he left the world without
bearing malice against anytime, and he hoped
no one had a prejudice against him. If there
was he did not know it.
The above speech wa^wcll delivered. The
first part of it was at times eloquent The
delivery was clear aud distinct, and it up
peared as if the entire audience caught every
word of it

K-olltlcn and a Commencement.
Busker Hill, III, June 20th.
Baton Col,dilution: “Strewsshow which
way ihe wind blows," is an old adage- It has
been verified by Ihe action of the Indiana
Democracy. That State has, to say the least,
given a quasi indorsement to the Cincinnati
Convention, and the speech of Hon. J. B.
Hendricks is onough to convince every Intel -
ligent Democrat that tbe only chance to de
feat Qraut is to indorse the Liberal Republi
can convention.
I was pleased tq read the letter of Hon. J.
A. Jones, of Polk. Mo man can doubt hiu
fealty to tho South. No man can qnuslinn
his past hatred of Greeley. I have known
him intimately from childhood. He was the
friend of my father, politically and person
ally, in “days ’Lang Syne." lie never wore
a party colar. He never belonged “cither to
the house of Lancaster or York,” but his no
ble heart ever heat responsively to tire inter
est of the sunny South. He has ever been
the clivmpion of States rights, when others
wandered after strange gists. His willing-
mas lo support Greeley with all of hisdamn-
ing sins, provided tho Baltimore Convention
indorses him, is enough to convince the most
skeptical that some sacrifices should he made
to nromotn the common good.
The Democracy of the Wes
Greeley. This is a foregone conclusion. The
eolith can, liy repudiating the Liberal move
ment, made in good faith, and by insisting
upon a nomination at Baltimore, secure the
election of Grant. A few of her
now disfranchised citizens may reap
their reward, but upon the bone and
sinew of her citizenship, llie blow will fall
widi crushing, withering weight Let the
masses lie awakened. They are about to lie
sold for worse than a miss of pottage. We
expect no Cabinet appointment from Greeley.
We cx|iccl all ol liis advisers will lie of the
Republican pat ly. Rut we doc'1**3 it revo
lotion in Congress. Wo do cxpreil to control
both branches, and will do it if the South
will “stand still and see Uie salvation” oi tin;
country. Situ must suffer, not ns if our ex
pectations are not YcalizwL She lias the
giving his remarks in full Thu points were
as follows:
He was in his 63d year; li-d never had a
difficulty; never l*C:t arrested; never paid a
fine or costs. Had livid an honorable and
useful life. Had never himself, or in collii
aion with otlu-ts, entertained one iota of
criminal feeling against any man.
He declared that Jones, Kutrowr and the
detectives had hatched the matter up. “ 1
swear,” said he, “ before you and before my
God, before whom I shall soon nppeer. I am
innocent. If I had dreamed of such a thing
I would not have allowed it” lie said his
death was a conspiracy, and W. B. Jones wa
nt the bottom of it; ins hi.Hid would cry fo:
vengeance; aud concluded, “I put my blood
on him (Jouiv) for three generations anil call
God lo witness it. Jones got Stubbs out
and exerted himself to convict me. I want
all Mr. Fish’s family to know it. I am in
nocent.”
Several partiis mounted the scaffold to hid
good-bye lo the unfortunate men, most of
them lieing much affected.
At Hoisenbake’8 request a hymn w:is sung,
after which a beautiful ano appropriate
E rayer was offered up by thu R. v. Dr. Col-
as.
During these religious excrciw-s tbe audi
ence was much affected. Uolscnbake was re
ligiously excited, clasping his hands, crying
and exclaiming: “1 am going to Jesus“O,
Lord, take me;” “Jesus, save my soul,” etc.
Lloyd looked pale hut took no notice. Both
men were then closely pinioned.
LAST DXTMIAKCKS.
Lloyd Raid: If I have insinuated anything
iu whi-.l I have said ag-dnsl any one I onr
sorry fur it; if God can forgive them I can.
Uolscnbake said Something to the same
effect.
Lloyd continued—1 have lived a long time
and have knowingly done no wrong to any
one. If I have I will restore it fourfold.
The while caps were now produced and
every one was awaiting the fatal moment.
Lloyd aaid, as the cap whs lieing adjusted,
“1 am about to die. My hands are cicar of
auy other man’s biood.”
Holsenhake said. “Lord.Jesus, receive my
spirit.”
EKATIL
The caps were then lied, and at two minutes
and a half before 1 o’clock throe strokes with
a hatchet were heard, then a heavy “thnd,” a
few oonvlulslve struggles, very slight, aud the
spirits of two mortals had fled to the God
who gave them life, there to be arraigned
before a tribunal that cannot err—a Judge
whose justice is tempered with mercy.
The physicians declared Lloyd dead in 16
minutes. Hulsenhake’s pulse did not cease
to beat for'2?i minutes.
Their bodies were delivered to their friends
and the vast crowd dispersed. J. D. L.

Jack and I*. Ilv—brother and suter—live
away up in New Hampshire, in a Hlliccoun-
trv village, where there w.is only one store,
2d that was a queer place! Mr. Wilson, tho
“s'ide iiian," sold ail sorts of things—Uiread
and needles, and bread, and ropes, and fiah-
booka and candies, and castor oiL 1 don't
Pel .eve yon could think of any article that is
supposed to he sold by the butcher, the baker,
or even the candlestick maker, hut that Mr.
Wilson could find it somewhere among the
bundles snd barrels of that little store.
The post office “was held” in “the store,"
too; and every Sunday, after church, Mr.
Wilson opened his doors a -d distributed llie
letters and lupcra that bad ionic up in the
Saturday evening train from the city.
I can't begin to tell y<* how sorry every
body in that village felt for the poor home-
less families in that faraway Chicago; so on
Sunday morning there was lo he a collection
taken np in church, so that eveiybody might
baveachanceuf giving something.
Children in country towns do not have sa
much spending money as yon city children
do. ■ In-tlic first place,money is not as plenlv
in farm houses as in city hoaxes, for tho ti y
good reason that there is no necessity hr
raving very much at home, nut of the bank}
There are no baker'r, or milk or gmeeFs
bills to j>ay; nor car tickets or stage checks
to buy; for yon know farmers raise their
own vegetables; and Spot, and Whitebait,
and brindlc, and the other cows, give them
all thu bwcet, fresh milk that they can ore,
in return for tho meadows of cool grass and
the brooks of “still waters," where they eat
and drink and sleep nil the long lw.nrs away,
in peace and quiet; and taking Dobbin and
Brownie, and the colts to water, makes np, I
guess, for all onr horse car rides. Don’t yen
tUnk so?
This bright Sunday morning mother took
out her old pocket-book and gave Jack and
little l’olly each a new, fresh twenty-five cent
hill. Why they never had so much money
in their fives before! All their own, l<»>!
Think how much fun twenty-five cents will
givu in the city, aud in tho country it seems
to go three limes as far aud buy ever so much
more!
“ Lguess I’ll give my money to those poor,
burned people this morning, in chnrch, you
know, ’cause I'm so full of sorry for theta
that 1 want <o show a little of it out," said
brown-eyed l olly.
“ I’ll give ’em miuc, ton," said Jack, in a
sudden burst ot generosity. ' Two times flvFb
a nought, two times two's a four—carry one.
Why, fifty cents! Guess that’ll boy aume-
thing. If every fellar and Iris sister in the
village gave as lunch as we do.gucaa they
wouldn’t waul long."
“ Make il the Lord’s money, children,” said
grandpa. “ Tell him yon pul il in hb hands,
and ask him to Muss it to Homo poor little
girl or boy. Hake il Ihe Lord's money; ho
always takes care of his own," he repeated,
thoughtfully, and with such earnestness iu
his tone that lira little people were touched
by il; and Folly said:
“ We will, grandjm, won’t we Jack?" Bo
grandpa drew them to bis side, and they
made tlie fifty cents the Lord's money.
“Jack,” aaid mother, before church, “you
aid Fu.ly take this jelly down to Ain
Mary’s, aud sec how tho lathy is. If you
hurry, you'll lie in time to ride over to church
with Uncle Joe."
Thu baby wan “getting on Aral rale.”
Aunt Alary admired their new e-otbes; said
sho thought they were g<ud children to pul
llieir money in the plate, when Jack showed
the new, cicau bills.

His card was in response to numerous argent

eyes, full of horror, and mother’* warning
whisper—“The Lord’s money. Jack 1 Oh put
il in I”—ihe little brown fist held the money,
and Uudc Joe pasard on to tlie next jiew.
After church mother and Folly staid to Sun

church door, they saw Unde Joe pass down
the street.
‘Run, Jack," said mother; “it isn't too

Mother went into the barn before dinner,
and there on the floor, in the corner, half hid
den by tho com chest, sat poor Jack 1 I say
“poor,” because 1 think when wu do a mean
thing, we need all the pity wc can have.

went home, thinking how he would enjoy
them. But be didn't have a bit of peace
ail the time; the figs tasted most like “dost,"
lie said, afterwards Such an unhappy home
as that was, that Sunday. Yon sec, children,
when we do wrong, we can’t do it so that it
will affect only its. The Bible aays that “no
one live* to himself." Whatever wc do, good
or had, touches other people; ho Jack's sin
made Folly’s heartso tore, that site couldn't
rest Unit afternoon. Tbe pictures in the new
“Dore’s Illustrated Pilgrim's Progress,” had
no interest for her. Jack drew himself away
from the family, and sat sullen and uncom
fortable in the hay-mow.
“Suppose he never should say be wa* sorry,
and the Lord should pnnish him fur stealing
His money!”
Just how, Folly didn’t know.bnt pooplo
were put in jail for stealing, and perhaps the
Iaml had a worse place! Tlie thought was
torture; she must do something. Sho went
up to Jade to ask him to tell, the Lord that
tie was sorry, Iml he only said, “Let me
alone, I toll yer,” in such a cross tone that
she wouldu'l dare go hack to him. She
thoughts moment or two, and then her mind

“Here’s mv doll. Floaty; Uncle Joe

to go home. Bat the minster talked lu-r into
