HUTEER.
Anil now comas the gratifying intelli
gence from the “Hub" that the Beast
has the inside trank in the race for Oorern
or of Massachusetts at the next election.
We hare never admired Butler, and
do not now believe that posterity will
reverence his name and cherish his mem
ory to any alarming extent; hut we are
decidedly iu favor of his election as Gov
ernor of his own State, and will he con
tent if he remains there. Congress, at
present has quite a nunilier of his kind,
and therefore can easily spare him.
It will indeed he a gratifying sight to
Imhold the honest and amiable Beast
withdrawing his horns and cloven foot
frem the mangled body of the Repub
lic, and devoting liis time and attention
to his own people.

DEATH.
We copy the following snd story from tlio
Washington (la., Oozrtte, i)f thof3t.h hist.,
and bopo it may admonish all to avoid a sim
ilar experiment h:
A young man named Tumor, living near
Psnb’irg, in this comity, died on Satardsy
after a few days illness, audit is «nppo«ed
from the following singular cause; Home
days previous to hbi attack he assisted in
the disinterment of a corpse, tor th* pur
pose of removal to saontli.v place of burial.
The body had been hurie 1 some months and
was exceedingly offensive when the grave
was oppened. 'Young Turnerhegan to com
plain of headache and other symptoms soon
after tile removal, and in a few daysboeamo
SXrionsty iU, and died yi -Saturday, •
He complained during hiaeutiro ilhnossof
smelling, and even lasting, tho horrible ef
fluvia arising from tho corpse. It is sup
posed that this effluvia or exhalation peno
trateil and saturated his entire system,
thus poisoning his blood and oausing death.
We hear that a brother of his is also very
ill from tho same cause, though we do not
know that the report is authentic.
THE STOKE* CASE.
The telegraph nnnoiuiced one day last
week that tho Court of Appeals of New
York had affirmed the deoision of tho Su
premo Court denying Stokes anew trial,
but the uext day contradicted the state
ment, and it now appears that anew trial
has lmen unanimously granted. Stokes’
friends ore rejoicing ut the result, and are
Confident of an aoquital.
A reporter for tho IVorM interviewed
the counsel for Stokes in reference to the
prisoner's prospects in the new trial, to
whom that gentleman replied:
“Prospects? They are perfect, sir. I
never had a clearer case upon my hands.
The grounds of puhrio opinion were all
faulty at tho outset, but there came an
immense change. The first opinions,
which beoafuo lasting, were based on the
newspaper accounts of the shooting of
Fisk printed the day afterthofaet. These
were false and exaggerated in every de
gree, and tended to show that Stokes
went to the Grand Central with the de
sign of killing Fisk. Iu the coming trial
we shall establish by a mass of unques
tionable evidence, beyond a reasonable
doubt, that Stokes had no intent what
ever in visiting the hotel, so that the in
vestigation must begin by putting Stokes
in tho hotel. That point it cannot go be
hind. When the public is able to realize
that’fact, as it must, why we have noth
iig. to do. But heretofore the case has
bora persistent ly conducted an the theory
of a desigu, and the whole public senti
ment has been owing to that fact. There
was a great change of opinion at the sec
ond trial,'and wo expect a total revulsion
in our favor when the ease shall lie right
ly understood.”
“Who willooaduct the Jefeiice?”
“The same counsel—Mr. Tremaiu and
myself.”
“Do yon expect an early trial."
“Hardly before next fall. It will, of
eouree, lie iu Oyer and Terminer."
“Will Stokes be admitted to bail mean
while?"
“I am not prepared to speak on that
potat. yet. 1 o.uuot say whether such a
motion will be made. The decision of
the Court of Appeals is based ou the very
points we depended oil and could hardly
have been other thau what it w r as. At the
new trial we shall drop much of the old
testimony, introduce much that was ex
cluded under errors in ruling, and bring
forward a mass of fresh facts, some of
which came into our possession almost
immediately after the sentence, ami all
of which, even if taken alone, must se
cure an Requital. There is no reason to
fear the result of this trial.”
[For the Journal.]
Eeminiscsces of Thomson.
There are some persons who do not
like their past recalled—perhaps there
are also towns mad cities with Mack re
cords. But Thomson has nothing to be
ashamed of—not even her small begin
ings.
Many of those who see the town now,
with its life, bustle and business, can
scarcely even imagine its appearance
thirty years ago, when I first saw it.—
Tho old landmarks are nearly all gone ;
and while many of the older people
recollect, even better than I do, how the
Hickory Level—old name—-once looked,
the young and new oomersonght,perhaps,
to have some records of the place—for
their amusement, if not edification.
The only building, now standing, that
was in the place in 1843 is the dwelling
of Col. Bush, with, perhaps kitchen and
negro house. This house was built for
old Mr. John Langston by Littleton
Barber, still an active contractor and
builder, in 1837 or 1838, when the Level
was the head of the Georgia Railroad.
Thomson was named in honor of J.
Edgar Thomson, one of the first con
structing Engineers of the Road. He
is now President of tho great Pennsyl
vania Central, and perhaps of other
Roads. .
On a gloomy January day in 1843, I
first saw the place. Crawfordsville,Madi
son, Greensboro, Covington and Decatur
were then old towns—all the other sta
tions on tho Rood were “in the woods.”
The Georgia Railroad then extended only
to;Decatur,and still regarded by many asa
doubtful experemeut; only afewyears pre
viously it bank bills wouldjhardly pass. The
State Road—Western and Atlantic—was
in process of construction from Martlias
ville—now Atlanta—and dragged slowly
on towards the West, a largo portion of
the people being opposod to spending
any more of the State’s money ou what
they regarded ns a foolish undertaking.
But for the powerful influence of Craw
ford, wlk> was elected Governor in 1843,
aided by Jenkins and Miller, and backed
by the Augusta and Georgia Road inter
esta—the Whigs coming into full power
iu the State—it is doubtful if tho State
Road would not have been abandoned.
A stripling, under fifteen, with tail
coats and e • first boots—boys in this
part of tho oountry did not wear boots
then at so tender an ago os now—on my
way to College, Thomson, even then, had
attractions for tv. I had never seen
the cars before, unless, perhaps, I hod
seen them going into or out of Augusta.
There were then only one up and one
down train a day, both passing Thomson
at night—up at 9or 10 o’clook, dowii at 1
or 2. A passenger ticket was then un
known. You got on the cars and paid
tho Conductor five ousts a mile.
At the time of which I apeak, and for
many years afterwards, almost the whole
of what is now Thomson was oovored by
woods and water. Coming from the hill
country, or “oaky woods,” (, in common
with soy fellows, regarded the -“piney
woods” as almost worthless, little dream
ing of the Uuo forms which now dot the
oountry.
Beside* Mr. Langston’s dwelling honse,
with kitchen, etc., the only houses in tho
place in 1843, were a giu house, standing
between where Norris’ store now stands
and the hotel; a store house on the north
side of the railroad, on a high bank near
the crossing, occupied by Walter D. Wil
son and Michael Thomas; a small stable
buck of the store and not far from the
gin house, a blacksmith shop on the other
side of the road, near tho oak, between
Dr. Pitts' house and his store; a barn
near about where Dr. Pit ts’ house stands,
and a little wooden shanty of a depot, on
the south side of the road, wost of the
arousing. The tank was whore the well
is—south side—and a largo “campmeet
ing fire-stand” was kept going at night
near by. The old store was removed by
Mr. Gerald, a few years ago, to the cor
ner, and was destroyed by fire.

“Criticising the Southern Situa
tion.”
The World vents its displeasure on
the shallow criticism of the Southern
condition wliich it finds in the leading
administration papers of tho North. The
subject is “below criticism." When an
administration deliberately turns over
whole States to plunder and subjugation
by their knavish partisans anil familiars,
is there any more chance for criticism I
than a plain case of burglary, incendi
arism or murder would afford ? It is an
atrocious crime to be characterized by
round terms and plain words, and wholly 1
insusceptible of defense, appology or ex- j
planation. If the administration of the
Radical party wished to punish—to in
flict suffering on the Southern people—
they had no right to do it by a prostitu
tion of the uses anil ends of government
for the benefit of their venal partisans.
And it is some consolation for all our
losses, miseries and public disorders to
know that these exponents of Republic
anism, arc getting heartily
ashamed of their handiwork, as to feel
the need of explanation.
The Southern people understand the
whole matter very well, and hope to see
the j a y w hen the Northern people will
understand it also. When a peregrina
ting Northern or Western Congressman,
—like Matt Carpenter, comes down here
to dogmatise and display his assurance,
as well as his ignorance, he addresses an
audience a great deal better versed than
himself in political knowledge, and pro
foundly sensible to what extent he and
those like him have barbarised and per
verted tho Government of the country.
He talks to them iu a tone of lofty su
periority as if ho were and Indian agent
or commissioner, addressing a circle of
savages about tho Great Father at Wash
ington —instructing thorn in A B C’s of
civilization and government, as woll as
of publifc and private inorals and econo
my.
But the Southern people do not forget
that so long as tho government was free,
pure and prosperous, if any States could
claim the position of expounders and
teachers, they were the States; nor have
the smallest confidence in tho new sched
ule laid down now by the Northern ex
pounders except in the directness of its
route to all the ills of bail government—
to confusion, despotism rind perdition.

Unhappv Amadeo.— -The other day,
crossing the Ponte Trinita, I met bis ex-
Magosty, Don Auiiulo > olSpain. He was
walkingalono. and had a bunch of violets
in his buttou-Uolo. He looked neither
to the right nor flic loft, as lie passed
mo ; his vacant eyes stared into vcancy
His face was pale, haggard and positively
unhappy, and I oonld not help feeling a
foolish sympathy with a disappointment
which is so real to him, and so very un
real to most other persons. A few boys
scampered after him, just as they used to
do after Fisk and bis likoH in Broadway ;
tho Florentines.came to their shop-doom,
looked, pointed their fingers and laugh
ed : lint no hats were taken off and noth
ing was further from anybody’s mind
than to cheer. Yet Amedeo's abdication
seemed both honest and plucky, and I
respected him for it, until I heard anoth
er interpretation of his'clesign the other
day, which give a very different coloring
to the whole" transaction. In any other
ease, there was an immense deal of hum
bug in the ceremonies of welcome which
smoothed his return to Italy. The house
of Savoy is deeply mortified, ami the
people ore anything but enthusiastic.—
Bayard Taylor's Letter from Florence
to the W. }". Tribune.
A W Asm noton Territory Heroine.—
The Indian difficulties, it appears, have
not yet entirely succumbed hi tho brave
ry of tho troops, the tribes in tho vicinity
of Walla Walla, Washington Territory,
having recently assumed iui air of fierce
ness and become extremely impertinent.
A party of savages recently called at the
honse of a settler fivo miles from town,
and made so many extravagant demands
that they were refused everything. This
made them angry, so they drew their
guns, but before they could use them
tho luirdy pioneer was using his rille on
them, his eldest daughter, a lass of 18,
was plying a hatchet, and a sou arriving
on the scene wielded a knife to such ad
vantage that the redskins broke for their
horses and escaped, but bearing away
with them marks that will ding to them
through life, if the wounds do not cause
their death immediately. Tho heroine
who so bravely defended her father is
extolled highly, and deservedly, for she
is said to have fought with a desperation
akin to that which characterized the
pioneer mothers of Kentucky or Ohio.
This event lias caused the Indians to
give the locality a wide berth, so they
are now oft" ou their auual fishing and
hunting excursion, and they will take
good care to keep away until the memo
ry of this last episode has faded away.

The Execution of Isham Belton
O’Neal.
Sonic eighteen months ago a murder
in cold blood was committed on one of
tlie most public thorough fares in the
city, in the open day, right in the pre
sence of hundreds of persons who were
qu tely pursuing their business avoca
tx ms. The community was startled at
the announcement that James Little, in
the full bloom of life and manhood, had
been ushered into the presence of his
Maker without notice or warning, by the
hands of Isliam Belton O’Neal, who me
ditatingly hail armed himself with a
knife and wilfully stabbed his victim.
Yesterday the assassin and murderer
suffered the penalty of his crime—death
by hanging. Early in the morning the
streets leading to and surrounding Ful
ton county jail, were thronged with a
mass of human beings, eager with curi
osity to see and hear all they could in
relation to wliat was transpiring within
the walls of the jail. The court that pas
sed sentence on the condemned, ordered
that the execution should be in private, >
and that a few only whose duty it was to j
be present, should witness it.
Notwithstanding this order was known j
to everybody, all manner of devices were
restored to in order to gain either adiuit
aiiee within the prison yard, or to obtain
somo eligible position from where it
might bo seen. The officers were strict
iu the performance of their dnty enjoin- j
ed on them, and thereby prevented, at
least three or four thousand people. Isitli !
whites and blacks, men, women and chil
dren, from beholding, in wanton curiosi-
spectacle that only tends to debase
anil deprave the moral feelings of man
kind. The precaution taken did not pre
vent the cruel jests of the motley masses,
ox cause them to be filled with feelings
of awe and terror, as inighi have been ex
pected that the solemn and terrible occa
sion would have brought forth.
About ten o’clock this reporter gained
admittance within the prison, and upon
inquiry ascertained that the prisoner, af
ter hearing tlie decision of the Governor
refusing to interfere in any manner in his
lie half, gave himself up almost to com
plete dispute. A solemn and impressive
. (illness prevailed on every hand. The
few who were in the office conversed iu
low tones in monosyllables. In one part
of tho office sat the wife of the doomed !
man and her eldest sister,dressed in a !
manner lietekeuiug their poverty, weep- j
ing low sobs and tears, in another part j
stood two little girls, also sisters, who
freely shed tears at the gloomy future :
before them. The picture was indeed a j
suil one, and might well awe into com
passion and pitv the most hardened and
stoic heart. Within the cell, next to the
door leading from the office on the left,
there the prisoner was confined, in com
pany with iris spiritual advisers, Revs.
Messrs. Leftwioh and Patillo.
Low, indistinct utterances came to tho
outside as these faithful, Christian men
ministered and prayed and exhorted the
dying man. Occasionally an outburst of
grief—a cry for mercy —would full on
the care of the listener as it was drawn
out by anguish of heart when that, last
hope was going away. Tlmt the mind of
the doomed nmu was vacillating between
laipo and fear was clearly evident. Not
withstanding these kind men had, at his
request, again visited tho Governor to
gain n little time for him, and had failed,
lie, it seemed, could not fully realize his
situation and turn his thoughts from
earthly things nnd give them ill) wholly
iu making preparation for that “groat
lieyond.” He would speak of the injus
tice of his enemies and bewail his situa
tion as one iu wliich the fates were
agaiust him and oppression assailing
Ilia .
His wife and her sisters were admitted
into tho coll at a quarter before eleven.
The swine then witnessed was most heart
rending and terrible. She who had so
faithfully stood by her husband through
good and evil report, sharing his misery
in a greater degree even than ho himself
seemed to have done, now with totteriug
footsteps came forward to take her last
parting on earth with tho man she hail
vowed never to forsake. Screams of
agony and remorse sounded dismally
through the prison walls as she fell oil
his bosom, praying as it were, that her
life, too, might be takeu. No pen can
give an adequate picture of this visit,
which continued some three-quarters of
an hour. As tho time for its termination
drew near, every one present was deeply
moved. While she was with him he con
fessed his waywardness and guilt to her
—but lest she might think that he con
fessed tho crime for which lie was con
victed, he took occasion to correct such
an apprehension, and said that his doom
was hut the work of his “villainous ene
mies. ”
J list lxifore tho hour of execution ar
rived, the Rev. Mr. Patillo sang the
hymn, “Happy dav, when Jesus washed
my sins away. ” I’lie prisoner tried to
sing the first few liues, Vint broke down.
He prayed earnestly until about twelve
o’clock, when he started to shave and
dress himself. Mr. Patillo then left tho
cell, nnd O’Neat, being supplied with
clean clothes, washed liis face and put
on a clean white shirt. Shortly after one
o’clock, Mr. Patillo again entered the
cell and continued praying with the pris
oner and reading to him till the hour
designated for his execution.
Precisely at two o’clock, Sheriff Per
kerson, accompanied by his deputies,
Green, Anderson, Wells nnd Wise, went
into where tho prisoner was to bring him
to the scaffold. In a few minutes tho
doomed man walked out leaning on' the
arms of the Rev. Mr. Patillo and Deputy
Sheriff' Green, followed by the others,
and took up their line of march down
through the basement of the jail into the
yard to the scaffold. He was dressed iu
a well-worn light cassimere pants and
vest aud a clean white domestic shirt,
and had on a pair of new morocco slip
pers aud a black, broad brimmed slouch
ed hat, much worn. Arriving at the
scaffold, he first raised his eyes hesita
tingly, and then walked up the steps,
taking a seat elected on the platform.—
On either side sat those who escorted
lrim to the gallows. A few moments
were spent, in conversation with those
near in a whisper, when he commenced
to speak to those assembled in the yard.
Sheriff Perkersou asked him if he had
not better stand up. He then got up,
made a step forward, and spoke as fol
lows :
“Gentlemen—l know a good many of
you. All I have to say is, what I liave
said before is a fact. I never had any in
tentiou to kill Little. After we sold out
we had a law suit; von probably know
about it, I gained tie case, and "he was
dissatisfied. After that I settled up the
garnishment aud we were friendly. This
shows whether it was premeditated or not.
I have been a long time in jail, aud have
suffered a great deal. I have been attend
ed by several preachers—Mr. Patillo and
Mr. Leftivich, who have given me good
advice. Mr. Patillo has stuck to me to
the last as yon see. lam ready to be
judged by God for this crime of murder
right here as I stand. lam not guilty,
j There were lies sworn against me. I be
' lieve lam prepared to die. I have lived
| an honest life, made my living by work,
principally. I never thought, when I was
I a boy, that X would be brought to this,
and to-day I oughtn’t to. I believe that
if Gov. Smith would give me time, I oonld
prove mymnocenoe. I have an important
wituessjout I don’t know where he is now.
. I supfbse it won’t do me any good. X
have given up all hope. lam a poor man
i and that is the reason why lam here. If
l I had money I oould come out of this,
j Other men us guilty as I am, are allowed
to go free. I have had some friends, a
j great many, I reckon. When I got into
j this troab.e they forsook me. As long as
I I had money I had friends. Now I have
no friends; God is my only friend. ”
| He then took his seat, having spoken
j some ten or fifteen minutes, when he al
luded to a mistake contained in the Her
ald, in reference to his getting out of jail
when the other persons escaped. At 25
minutes part 2 o’clock Sheriff Perkerson,
assisted by Deputy Green, pinioned his
elbows behind him with asraallcord; dur
ing the time he asked not to “pull so
tight.” He was then shrouded with a
white mnslin gown open Irefore, extend
ing down to his feet. Ho stood trembling
and quivering in every muscle, his eyes
closed and bps slightly moving. During :
the tying of his legs be looked at his feet
with eyes half opened, and apjieared to
lie praying in secret. The noose was then
6 laced around his neck and drawn tight.
[e said “wait a minute.” Hethenspoke
as follows: “The last words I have to
say is, lam not guilty of this murder. I
did not intend to kill Little. lam ar
raigned here for nothing. What I did i
was in self-defense. There were three
men that attacked me. I thought they
were my enemies. I was attending to my
own business. I believe God has had
mercy on me. I have tried very hard to
be forgiven, anil I liojie to meet some of
you. I hope to meet all of you in heaven,
if it shall please God to grant it. I don’t j
know whether yon are all Christians or
or not. X hope you are.”
The white cap was then drawn over his
face, when he earnestly prayed: “Great
God have inerey on me. Have my soul,
merciful God. O, God" the drop
fell, his neck was broken and his struggle
over. His body quivered but a minute,
and five minutes afterwards when the doc
tors examined him, his heart had almost
ceased to beat, in eleven minutes he wasl
pronounced dead. After hanging about
fifteen minutes his body was taken down
mid laid out, and the ropes taken off of
him. In a short time he was placed in a
! neat poplar coflin ami case and taken off
for burial.— Atlanta Sun.
