FRIDAYrMOENING, JULY 5, 1872.
The Execution at Oglethorpe.
From the Telegraph and Messenger
we eopy-the following account of the
last speeches of Lloyd and Holsenbake,
who were hung{at Ogletharpe last Fri
day, for the murder of Judge Fish,
February 18, 1871;
Holsenbake rose with: difficulty!—.
He was supported on each side. Lloyd
was sitting down chewing- tobacco
calmly, -with his back against one^ of
the posts He eyed Holsenbake close
ly and listened to him with profound
attention Hayirig’ , iakea. water ^feee-.
iy> . * " • _
- Holsenbake said, _ in substance," as
follows 1 :- Feilbw-citiZens, we arO Piet
here on a most solemn occasion—met
here to take my life. I entreat your
prayers. I ask; your fervent prayers
in my behalf, i The fervent prayei; of
the righteous avadleth much, and in
praying for me you may convert ydur
own souls. I appear before you as a
criminal about to suffer an ignontini-
ons death, but I' : sincerely say that
at heart I am no criminal I amabout
to be unjustly executed. Lhave failed
to obtain justice in the courts of law.
The laws have been illegally or unjust
ly executed. I do not speak as a law
yer, but so it seems to me. I am ar
raigned as the principal for the crime
of murdering a man who has long since
begu merciful.,tp.him.. I am, the man
who took liislife. [Murmurs of-horror.]
I did it when under great irritation; I
bad-lost my reason; I was a monoma-
uiac; I had nothing against.CoL Fish,
but I had heard that he had desecrated
the dearest affection of -my heart;-. jtlMt
he had violated my. household{ties and
sullied, the reputation of My littlte ;
daughter, who, thank God)-hag been
for months fn Heaven, and'*." trait I
shall speedily be with .her. I do not
feel as though I was the authpr of this
crime. Everything I have slated con
cerning my accomplice has been hon
estly and truthftdly stated.. I have
been betrayed by wolves in sheeps’
clothing. {.
He thengave the particulars of his
confession- to GoL.H; F. Farrow,"late
Attorney General for the State, stated
how it was obtained, and said of Mr.
Farrow:*
I tell you, fellow-Citizens, he stands
to-day before ;Gt>d-and this communi
ty a degraded and disgraced mortal.—
I have nothing against him, but he lias
not only forfeited his word but sacri
ficed Ins honor; and, more still, he is a
convicted perjurer, and the court re
cords will prove it; -There iahere-to-
. day standing before me an honorable
and high-minded gentleman, one wlio-
was engaged in my defense—Colonel
W. "S. Wallace. T refer to him; he
knows what I say is. true.- . I- wish to
God (passionately) if knew how to.talk,
but iny language is inadequate to tell
of-the murderous outrage that has been
perpetrated against me. I was derang
ed^ the separation of my family from
mo was my ruin. [Pause.] The in
juries I sustained in that connection
caused me to lose my reason. [Pause.]
My family'wiJl pay.thc forfeit—T'am
executed wrongfully—I have failed to
obtain justice; it has all been done
through prejudice; tney have suffered
their prejudices to bo aroused.
The pauses here were frequent and
'Hie prisoner appeared much affected.
He took a little water and rallied.'—
He continued:
In answer to Mis. Fish, who has ex
pressed a wish on the point, I beg to
Say that ! entirely exonerate CoL Fish
from blame, and what I said about
him on one occasion was wrong; and
ay companion, he is innocent of all I
said about him with reference to that
one occasion, but not on others; and
another person, I wish to say I believe
her innocent also. [Pause.]
I know of nothing more. Forsake
the ways of sin and come to Jesus.—
THa blood will cleanse you from all sin
through fervent prayers. I hope to
meet him and my angel daughter in
Heaven. X hope she is now hovering
around me to accompany me through
the dark valley of the shadow of death.
My heart feels for you sinners. I sym
pathize with you. Quit bar-rodms, let
whisky alone; throw ikoff from-you as
yon would a snake; it is a deadly ser
pent; cast it away. I hope there will
corne a day when we shall all meet in
Heaven and know each other there.
He paused and asked the sheriff how
much more time he had. The reply
was eleven minutes. He continued:—
There is another point to which I wish
to direct your attention. Some of yon
have been jurors, many of you may
be. Be careful always to sift the law
and evidence; beware of the testimony
?f a negro, particulaily if he is charged
I must close. I might say much.; I
might talk to you until night, but it
would be useless and unnecessary.
There is o.nqremark I" miist make; _I
know-some' of- you are expecting it.—
There is an impression, that other par
ties were behind me in this matter.—
Not of my knowledge. 5 If there were,
I know nothing of it. . It was unknown
to me. I might give an opinion, but
mv opinion would be worthless to you;
[This was. said hesitatingly and some
what disconnectedly.]
I have but a few minutes to live. I{
wish to ask of you- not to taunt any of
my friends ox relatives with my igno
minious death. I beg you will not in
sult them on my account They are
as innocent as you, and had they known
anything about it theywould have ex
erted every power to prevent it.
He thanked and complimented the
prison officials'-that had liadribarge of
him, and closed saying lie left -the
any man, and he hoped no one had a
prejudice against MM. If there was
he did not know it.
The. {above speech was well delivered.
The first part of.it was at times elo
quent. ' The- delivery was clear and
distinct, and it appeared as if' the en
tire audience caught every word of it.
He was in his 62d year; had never
had a difficulty; never been arrested;
never paid a fine or costs. -Had lived
an honorable and useful life. - TTnd
never himself, or in collusion with
-others, entertained one iota of crimi
nal feeling-against any man. He ex
plained how Holsenbake happened
to be at. his house. After he came
there, he was frequently excited about
family matters and was cautioned by
Lloyd, who advised him to leave the
country. On one occasion, Lloyd
took away his guns and a rifle to keep
them-out of his way. He (Lloyd) had
nothing against Fish; used to lauga
about him sometimes. He knew noth
iSiig-bf Holsenbake’s design and he
called God to witness that he was as
ignorant of it as they (the audience)
were.
Seventeen days after the murder, on
the day when Holsenbake waa about to
leave for good, a warrant was issued
for Jones, and then Jones immediate
ly pointed out Holsenbake ns the mur
derer. If he knew that was so why
did he wait seventeen days to tell it?
He declared Jones, Farrow and-the de
tectives had hatched the matter up. ‘“I
swear, ” said he, ‘ ‘before you and be
fore my God, before whom I shall
soon appear, I am innocent. If I had
dreamed of such a thing I would hot
have allowed it. ” He said . his . death'
was a conspiracy, and W. B. Jones was
at the bottom of it; his blood would
cry for vengeance; and concluded, ‘‘I
put my blood on him (Jones)-for three
generations and call God to witness it.
Jones got Stubbs out and exorted him
self to convict‘me. I want all Mr.
Fish’s family to know it. I aih inno
cent;”
Several parties mounted the scaffold
to bid good-bye to the unfortunate men
most of them being much affected.
At Holsenbake’s request a hymn was
sung after which a beautiful and appro
priate-prayer was. offered, up by the
Rev. W. J Collins, of Perry.
During these religious-exercises the
audience were mueh affected. Ho!
senbake w.-is religiously excited, clas
ping his hands, eryiug- and exclainrin
,“I am going to Jesus;” “O Lord, take
me;” “ Jesus,_save my soul,” etc. Lloyd
looked pale but took no notice. Both
men were closely pinioned.'
• LAST UTTERANCES
Lloyd said': If I have insinuated
anything in what I have said againts
any one l am sorry for it; if God for
give them I can.
Holsenbake said something to the
same, effect.
Lloyd continued—I have lived a long
time and have knowingly done no
wrong to any one If I have I will res
tore it fourfold. -'
The white caps were produced and
everyone was waiting the fatal mo
ment.
Lloyd said, as the cap was beingud-
justed, " ‘ ‘I am about to die. My hands
are dear of any other man’s blood.”
Holsenbake said, “Lord. Jesus, re
ceive my spirit. ”
DEATH.
The caps were then tied, and at two
minutes and a half before one o'clock
three strokes with a hatchet were
heard, then aheavy “thud,” a few con
vulsive struggles very slight, and the
spirits of two mortal had fled to the
God who gave them life, there to be
arraigned before a tribunal that cannot
err—a Judge whose justice is -temper
ed with me’ey.
The physician declared Lloyd dead
in 16 minutes. Holsenbake’s pulse
did not cease, to beat for 271 minutes.
Their bodies were delivered to their
friends, and the vast crowd disappeared.

Have Business and Stick to it-
Idleness.has not been inaptly des-
scribed the Devil’s pillow. It is. the
hideous'mother of most "of the evils
which afflietthe individual and society.
In China, where the population, is so
crowded that no one can be idle with
out some one suffers, if is visited upon
all with severe penalties and sometimes
classed'and treated as a capital felony.
Here, where nature is generous and
our kind mother—earth, is so prodigal
of her blessings, it is often' esteemed
both fashionable and respectable.
'' Idleness not only diminishes our na
tural wants and necessities! but it in
creases in intensity and. multiplies in
number the pains of the person and the
community. It bankrupts States and
clothes families in rags. Point out an
industrious people, and in spite of na
tural disadvantages we will show you a
free, happy, contented and powerful
world without bearing malice against 0 *tion.- On the other side, slavery,
discontent, weakness and wretchedness
abounds, notwithstanding the country
may be blessed with bright skies and
a prolific soil, if at the same time it is
cursed with idleness. Mexico, where:
nature pours down her choicest gifts
■a land where all is divine save the
spirit of man, is poor and miserable,
and wretched; convulsed eternally with
revolutions, and although nominally
free, free only to rob and shed frater
nal blood. The'little. Republic of Han
Marino perched on the Alps amid bar
ren roeks piercing the heavens from
whence thunders the avalanche, for
hundreds of years lias maintained
and preserved its liberties, bidding
alike defiance to tyrants and tempests.
The mystery is explained'in a few
words. Mexico is cursed with a. lazy,
mongrel population that would rather
dauce, beg, rob and murder than work,
and the citizens of San- Marinorii'eVar-
tuous and industrious.
Any work-is better than none. The
honest chiffonier who with match and
stick rakes among the rags and garbage
•of 4 ” a city-for a living, is a better man
and citizen than he jvho cheats, steals
and lies to supply himself with neces
saries n*id luxuries. It is the mliaftlfat
makes the occupation honorable .or
otherwise, and not the occupation that
makes or unmakes the mtin. -The rich
should be employed if for nothing
better than-the ple.-isure and--examjAe
—the poor to ald to their comfort and
thereby tratfsfdriff the primal, eldest
curse into the greatest of blessings.
The industrious man, by the very laws
of his mental, moral and physical be

man by the same lawa miiSt be miser

and at last settle down into the lowest

and conceit—a vain, babbling, mis

Hanging in Millet. County.—Wes

Colquitt, Miller county, last Tuesday
for murder. Tfie-Early county : NeYs
says: . ....
The crowd commenced assembling
about daylight, anl' by 10 o’clock the
place was full to overflowing. About-
two o’clock Sheriff Platt master of cer

brongbt upon tke’stage. 'AMoiigotif-

prit said he -was ready and willing to
die; he exhorted everybody ,to . turn
from-their wicked ways'and meet.him
in Paradise. Said he would override
death,' and hell and the grave, and go
to his Father. Remarked that his
mother would “go to hell howling” if
she did not turn from her evil ways
and do better. After he was .through
speaking, he was swung off by the
sheriff, and permited to hang until
pronounced dead by Dr. P. C. Wilkin.

The Tittr Monument.—The Bich-
mondEnquirer, in a description of the
memorial monument of-Gen.- R. E. Led
the model for which has just been com
pleted by the sculptor Valentine^ of
that city, says:
“The impression made upon the
mind is one of pleasant surpris ' at
beholding, as it were, the reclining
warrior, not dead hat sleeping—peace
fully dreaming, with a smile upon his
lips— and so perfect is the illusion
that one imagines.he can see the figure
move and breathe. It is as he was in
life. There is nothing of the repul
sive or awful presence of death about
the face, the form or the position. The
triumph of the artist is complete.
THE UJIJI WAYDEKER,
Reflections upon. Livingstone.
Dark shades of doubt were tilling on
The fete of long-lost Livingstone,
When from the East there caine good cheer,
The lost was found!—and somewhere near

So sings one the patent poets—he of
the Boston Advertiser ; and further—
While rejoiced the news to learn,
All hoped he’d come right home and earn
His living in a quiet way.
And leave, forever and for aye,
Ujiji!
But he might, could, would, or skoud
not, and he hasn’t. Yet to-day fignlw
there are more" confirmatory advices to
prove that this man of ninety times'
nine lives,-and more obituaries, still
lives and breathes and* loafs- about
Ujiji. The Herald of good tidings was
at Ugogo, but he.had 'cried “Ogogo
to Livingstone in vain. Livingstone
seems to be a man “eonsid’r'able sot in
his ways,” and Ids ways are all,toward:
Ujiji.. It appears that he traversed the
north end of Takganiyaba oil his way
from Moneyomseto Ujiji where, having
ihg obtained stores, he. returned- to
Unyanyembe, and,- notwi£hstanding~all
these awful things, is in. excellent
health. It is satisfactory to learn,
“doubtless,on his authority,” that’the
. River Bnsji flows-intoAhe Tanganizaka,
is not connected with’the Nile.
Now, ’if he would- only find out for
lis"whether the Bitchyc.hatchyimy'runs'
into ..the Hossawachaalonshabri; or
.whether-he’s her first cousin,'and'then
tell vis where Ujiji is, and their die .and
leave, his obituary izers in peace—we
shonld'all be satisfied. But there is
no such balm in Ujiji. . That man un
gratefully . persists! u refusing to leave
Africa, and announces lijs intention to
explore an un&ergronnd'patii which lies
between Unyanyembe apdNyassa,- and
doubtless-connects with ' r (
Ujiji here, Ujiji there,
Ujiji almost everywhere!
The only sensible thing to do with
the man is to gat a hdb'eas corpus on
him 'and forwai-d it to Mr. Htalxley.
Then, 0 Stanley, dear Stanley
Then lake the Doctor from his lair
And bring him home, or anywhere!
