MISS EBERH ART’S EXECUTION AND THE LESSON IT TEACHES. A sharp anil terrible lesson waa given to criminals in Georgia as Susan Eberbart was swung from the gallows in Webster county yesterday. In words not to be mistaken, and in bloody sentences Governor Smith, has laid down his policy. The law in Georgia will be rigidly en forced—money cannot buy; mercy cannot swerve; persuasion cannot cajole; sophistry cannot delude; threats cannot frighten the present Executive of Georgia. Justice— simple, plain, old-fashioned justice—will be dealt out to offenders aga inst the law. This is square and absolute. We thought, and still think, that there were circumstances in this peculiar case which would have justified (if not demanded), the exercise of at least so much clemency as would have commuted the sentence to impris onment for life. We made a square and open appeal to the Governor, in Miss Eberhart’s behalf. Gov ernor Smith carefully and laboriously searched tho testimony, and sifted the evi dence. He conscientiously weighed every fact, and balanced every opposing statement. He failed to find anything on which even- handed justice could predicate a pardon. Hence, smothering back those impulses of mercy that must have uprisen in his heart, he signed the death warrant in the interest of law and order. While we would tuat the poor girl could have escaped the extremest penalty of her crime, we have no complaint to make at Gov Smith's decision; and, as an organ of the people, we proclaim throughout the land this one unalterable truth : That as long as James Milton Smith occupies the Governor’s chair, offenders will be brought to the full punish ment of the law, despite any power on earth. Persons contemplating crime would do well to notice Don't for*»et that Barney Williams will sell forty barrels of choice potatoes and a lot of oranges, at noon t>day, and that at nine in the morning he will knock down a lot of miscellaneous articles, including furni tore, and a large lot of groceries in the evening. This is a splendid chance for persons wishing to purchase cheap. Preston, Via Ahericcs, May 2, 1873. In telegraphing you the details of the execution of Susan Eberhart which took place here to-day, it is ne cessary to give a short history of her crime. She was convicted as an accomplice iu the murder of Mrs. Spann, of Webster county, her ally in guilt being the husband of the victim. She was Spann’s paramour, and they determined to murder the wife, who was one-legged and deformed, in order, as he said, IO GET THE OLD WOMAN OUT OF TUE WAY.” Two deliberate attempts were made to kill her, once by drowning, both of which failed, once through Mias Eberhart’s failing courage, or returning mercy. The third attempt was successful and the miserable old woman perished by strangling, Miss Eberhart hold- i end of the cord and Spann the other. As soon aa life was extinct the guilty pair fled together, they saw a dark black line around tho neck of the corpse which they were sure would convict them. They were captured after an easy pursuit, brought back to jail, convicted and sentenced. Spann was hung about two weeks ago, and Miss Eberhart was sentenced for the 2nd of May. Strenuous efforts were made to procure a pardon from the Governor, by the best people in the ’county and surrounding country, but all failed. All day yesterday and to-day the telegraph wires have been loaded with dispatchos imploring the Gov ernor in the most earnest terms spare the girl’s life, and imploring him fob god’s sake, not to let the woman die,” while in all quarters of the city Smith’s character was vary roughly handled by all classes, and he was de nounced as thoroughly brutal, and without mercy or humanity. o purpose, however, and the sun of the 2nd of May was the last that ever dawned on Susan Eber hart. * * * Melange.

Single women take warning. Baron Jdo Bussierre, of France, yesterday arrived at the Sturtevant House. The Baron is the busdand of an American heiress, a daughter of Ben Halllday, the Pacific coast millionaire. her story. At this juncture we may state that slic denied, the day before her death, that she had ever had illicit connection with Spann, or at least was very positive in her denial that such was tho case up to the night on which Mrs. Spann was killed. She rays that only on occasion did he make improper advances towards her, and then SHE PROMPTLY TOLD HIM HE MC*T NOT talk to her that way. She avers that she had no idea that Spann loved her, or that he was going to kill liis wife to obtain her embraces. Once he had laughingly said that he believed he would kill his wife, and mar ry some fresh young woman, bnt she didn’t take him to be at all in earnest. She had never been lustfully approached by any man, and had no dutmet idea as to what Spann meant by his equivocal words and ac tions. She could scarcely read, and knew nitbing of the world. SHE LIKED SPANN AS A BENEFACTOR, and never saw anything in his treatment of his wife to lesson her confidence or esteem. He treated liis wife kindly in her presence, and Mrs. Spann was the most quarrelsome and petnlent of the two. She thought he behaved very kindly to his wife, and had known him to leave the house frequently to avoid quarreling with her when she was in one of her disa greeable moods. She thinks that Spann waa goaded into tho fatal act, more by bis wife’s continuous bad temper, than by love for herself. ON THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER, she was lying in ber bed adjoining Spann’s, and heard him calling, “sue! bub! come herb quick!’ She then got np and tried to strike a light. Hi qrs, “No, no, come right along, come without i light! Come on !” She did not know what he want ed and stumbled into his room, thinking probably Mrs. SpaDn was sick from the wetting she had re ceived in the creek some days beforo, when it was al leged they had tried to drown her. Then,” as she said to an inquirer, “ 1 got into his room, but went back to bod, ms be did not call a;ain. He came to my bed in about two hours, and told me that he wanted me. I asked what he wanted. He said he wanted me to “ HELP HIM KILL HIS WIFE ! I was sickened at this and very much astoaishei. Ha told me I bad to come, or he would drag mo out. got up and went with him, as I was afraid of him He made mo give him a pocket handkerchief, which he laid around his wife’s neck; he then took a piece of rope and strangled her to death. When he menced pulling, she screamed slightly and said, What’s that ?’ I begged him to desist, ne still held the rope, and I went back to my room. In a little while he came and said, “ *1’V* BILLED THB OLD WOMAN.’ " and said thut he wae going off and I mast go with him. I begged him to let me stay, but he said should go with him, aDd taking mo by the hand bo and lusty body had an indescribable pathos in it, as it quivered and rose and sank, with all the passion and all the glow chased out of it, all the wickedness slain in it, and only the weak and womanly flesh left there begging against fate, trembling against despair. She read her fate in Mr. Bell’s eyes as he entered, and it seemed as if the poor heart which had sent one flood of hepe into her cheecks when she heard their steps, now called every drop of blood in her body into its inner citadel as she rose. Looking up to them, the remarked, “I suppose niy time has come?” “Yes,” Mr. Bell replied, “I havo done all I could for you, and havo failed.” “Well,” she responded calmly, “I AM READY TO GO.” In reply to an inquiry, she sold that she waa “ready to die—that she had scarcely had any hope since the jury had accepted as truth what was sworn against her on the trial.” She said this calmly, quietly, and ap peared even anxious to start on the fatal trip. TO THE GALLOWS. The Sheriff then led her to his buggy in which she entered without a word. She was driven to the gal lows, a distance of some 200 yards. The crowd fol lowed in an orderly manner, and no demonstrations whatever were made A PBAYER TO GOD. Arriving at the scaffold, which was tho same used in tho execution of Ppann, and around which was posted a strong guard of seventy-five citizens, Susan El>erhart. with the assistance of the Sheriff, alighted from the buggy. Sho then Bcated herself on the second step of the gallows, and the clergyman, with much emotion in his tone, offered a prayer for her soul. With an earnestness which touched every heart the man of God prayed for salvation, imploring Divine Mercy for the repentant sinner, who was about to be ushered into the presence of her Maker in ex piation of her crime, and appealing for that forgive ness in Heaven, which had already been vouchsafed her on earth. The simple, yet earnest language of the preacher broke the almost painful composure which had characterized Susan Eberhart from the moment that Mr. Bell told her that her time had come. Up to tnis time she had been calm and expressionless, giving no outward evidence of fear or concern. But now as the voice of the good minister fell enpplication upon her ears, all of callousness and indifference—if her calmness was really such—depart ed, and for the first time she became visibly affected; her form swaying with emotion, and the hot, scalding tears trickling down her cheeks. ▲ LAST GOOD DYE. The prayer over, Susan Eberhart ro»e to her feet and looked around ber, as if to take one last glance at tho world she was about to leave. Tho day bad bright ened, aud the sun shone upon the scene. Her youth ful countenance, wan and pale as it had been, fiushel up for a moment as if with Bhame. She was dressed plainly but neatly in a close-fitting, well-worn but clean homespun dress, and her hair, of which she has a very heavy black suite, was drawn back tightly from lier broad forehead, and hung down her back in two broad plaits. There were few eyes that gazed upon her girlish form ontlin* d in such cruel prominence against tbs sky that were not sup pressed with tears. Then turning to the good minister she shook hands with him, and next with the prison officials, thanking them all for the kindness they had shown her. “Good bye,” she said, for the last time addressing them. Then once more she looked around npou the scene, drinking in, as it were, a long aud eternal view of the earth that seemed so bright aud beauti ful now that she was about to leave it. THE LAST WORDS. She seconded to tho top of the scaffold without trepidation. When asked what sho had to say, she replied, in a clear, calm voice: “I am willing to go, and hope to be in heaven soon. There I hope to meet you all some day.” Then turning to the Sheriff, she added: ■Fix the ropo so I will die easy—don’t let me sutler lODg!” She seemed to fear that her neck would not be broken, and that her death would be along one. As she spoke to the Sheriff there was not a tinge of brav ado in her voice. Her calm confrontation of death bordered upon the heroic. ON THE DRINK. More affected than the condemned woman was, the Sheriff approached and pinioned her arms. The rope was next placed around her neck and the cap adjusted. As the last named article was drawn over her face a slight shudder convulsed her Frame. It was, however but for an instant. The next, it had disappeared, and ie stood calm, erect and motionless. A FRIGHTFUL STRUGGLE. At five minutes to twelve the signal waa given, the drop fell and the body of Susan Eberhart was dang ling in the air. Her fail was five feet. The appre hensions of the unfortunate creature had been real ized. Her neck waa not broken! She struggled convulsively, drew up her body and arms and swuug completely round, making fearful efforts to free her arms. Her hands opened aud shut repeatedly. Every nerve in her body seemed couvnttc J iu ago ny, and her limbs opened and closed as if in wild and unavailing efforts to seek tomo foothold on which to rest her feet There was, however, bo rest for her. The fatal rope, too remorseless for life, held firm, des pite the efforts of the convict to burst its strangling bonds. Each minute of torture scruie.*. an hour to the crowd. The sufferings of the poor creature n.ust have been as terrible to her as they were paiLfui to w itness. A perceptible shudder passod though the spectators, who were all gn atly affected. It was altogether a frightful scene. DEAD. She gradually ceased to st ruggle, and after hanging nineteen minutes, her pulse aud heart ceased beating and she was soon after pronouuccd dead. Her body then cut down aud given to her friends. The crowd dispersed aud tho tragedy was over. A. H. led i 5 off.” out of the way. It was a deliberate, calm and mali cious plot. For two months she knew that Spann intended to kill his wifo on the first propitious chance; and that tho reason for this murder was that he might have perfect freedom In the enjoyment of her charms. Without her fall concurrence the reason for the mur der would have failed. A part In the villainous pro gramme had even been assigned her. The fact that on two occasions her courage failed her, only inten sifies the malice with which she still persisted in the plot, and the cunning with which she kept It secret, through days and weeks and months, until its full accomplishment. She loved Spann, and played a des perate game to win him. My policy has been, and will be, to rigidly enforce the law, and hold the die pensation of justice to be tho supreme duty of the Executive. Under this determination I failed to find a single point on which to predicate a pardon or com mutation for Miss Eberhart. I am extremely sorry that I cannot interpose Executive clemency, bnt my duty will not permit me to do so. The reporter here bade the Governor good morning, and left. We deem it proper to add to this report, the substance of the letter written by Gov. Smith, to Hon. 8ampson Bell upon the subject: I have examined with great care the various appli cations made In behalf of Miss Eberhart, hoping that I might gather therefrom some reason which would Justify mo in interposing to save her life. Under the law, her guilt is fixed by the verdict of the iury, aud the suggestions offered in her favor do not create even a suspicion of the correctness of the finding. The evidence submitted upon her trial shows that the offense was committed by Spann and herself, with circumstances of almost unparalleled atrocity. The reasons suggested for mitigating ber punish ment are, that she had been reared in ignorance; is not sensible of the weight of her moral obligations, and is a woman. The evidence shows, beyond all question, that she was sensible both of the moral and legal guilt of the crime of murder. If allowed by my duty to the public to base my official action upon my feelings as a man, I would not hesitate to interpose executive clemency to save a woman from the extreme penalty of the law; but as a magistrate, whose sworn duty it is to see that the laws are enforced, I cannot intervene to prevent the execution of the judgment of the court in this case. I am, dear sir. Yours, respectfully, James M. Smith. WASHINGTON. A Alining Suit—Further from the Modocs. Washington. May 2, 1873. The mining suit of Raygard k Ely vs. the Hermes Mining Company, involving immense interests in Nevada, was tried before the United States Commis sioner at Plache, and decided in favor of the Hermes Mining Company. The case has been pending for ten months, and large Rums were wagered on the result. The opposing lawyers have challenged each other, and a free fight occurred over the matter, wherein there were three wounded, and one fatally. There was great excitement in San Francisco, where many brokers lose heavily by the verdict against Raygard k Ely. A Lava Bed tpccial says tliat all tLe troops have re turned. Nothing has been heard of Lieutenant Cran ston. The Modocs had a large firo dance at Warm Springs, and during the excitement they were fired upon by soldiers and compelled to retreat.

It had been currently aud openly rumored that an attempt would be MADE TO RESCUE TIIK 1‘UIMJKEB, on the night before the execution, and a double guard, heavily armed, was placed around tho jail. It rained heavily all night—the wind howled furiously- it was terribly dark—but no attempt was made at a rescue, and the wretched woman passed her last night earth quietly and In company with her own terrible reflections. The whole town was greatly excited, and it is a credit to its devotion to order that no outbreak was mads. THE MORNING BROKE DARKLY, and was one of the most chilly, damp, disagrecablo dawns imaginable. It brightened up however about ten o'clock, and at Just eleven the jailor, accompanied by Hon. Sampson Bell, went to the jail, and entered the cell of the condemned girl. As they entered the room, the girl was Bitting on a long box In tho cell, very near the window, gazing wistfully out between the grated bars at the sun, just blushing ont from be* hind the clonds. Uhe was very pale, and a dark ring about her eyes showed excessive grief, while a pecu liar twitching of the nerves leading to iho eyes, month and temples showed HOW TERRIBLY SHE IIAD SUFFKnZD.

A reporter of the Herald called at the Capitol yes terday to Beek an interview with Governor Smith, and find from him the reasons for his refusal to pardon Miss Eberhart. The Governor invited the reporter into his private office and spoke throughout the interview quite freely. Reporter—I see a squib in the Sumter Republican of to-day, Governor, commenting rather harshly on yor.r final decision in regard to the Eberhart case. And I should like to get, for publication, the reasons which led you to a rcjoction of the petition sent up in her behalf. Governor Smith—I will give you my reasons with pleasure. I am not allowed by my oath of office to pay serious attention to petitions of any kind. I am not here to weigh sympathy, but to administer justice. While as a man my feelings may often lead me to listen to mercy’s pleadings, my duty as a magistrate obliges me to guide my course by facts. I have very carefully investigated all tbe testimony in the case, and find not a single item that points to a commutation of the sen- tence. Instead cf the girl being a tool of Spann’s, I l e arn from reliable authority, the following facts: That Spann was completely under her control, and a perfect slave to ber passion and caprices. There WAS DECIDEDLY MORE REASON FOB THE PABDONINO OF Spann than of Miss Eberhart. I was iuformed that Spann was scarcely a degree above idiocy—and this by professional medical men—while Miss Eberhart was a vigorous, lusty, Intelligent yonng woman. By her beauty aud her passion, she completely bewildered him and held him in absolute control. She was tho willing incentive to the crime; she was the intelligent and deliberate accomplice in the crijme, and, as such, must pay her part of the penalty. Reporter—But, Governor, how do 70U reply to the petition of the majority of tbe jury that convicted her ? A majority of ber conviclora assert that they convioted under a misapprehension. How do you avoid listening to this ? Gov. 8.—Simply bccauso when they convicted, thoy were on oath; when they petitioned, they were not As officers they convicted; as citizens they would pardon. As officers they dealt in Justice; as c itizens they would deal in mercy. As a man, I might sign a petition for her pardon; as a magistrate, I must en force the law. There is scarcely a petition sent in, in which a majority of the convicting Jury does not pe tition for the pardon of the very man they weio obliged, when under oath, to convict. Reporter—It will be the first woman over executed in Georgia, and I thought that possibly this fact might have aa indirect influence with you. Governor 8.—Not at all. Tho law allows me to recognize no difference between a man and woman, Mias F.berhert’s case ie a very bed one. Spann was very desperately in love with her. the wanted him to marry ber. He promised to do eo ea soon as his wifo was out of tho way. They concluded to put her Tbe Sailor Boarding House Keepers—Tbur- low Weed 111. New York, May 2, lb73.

Ham ilton, member for Middlesex, called attention to the nature of the reference to tho treaty .of 1846, which, under the treaty of Washington was submitted, to gether with the Northwestern Boundary question, to the decision of the German Emperor. He regretted that the English governmsnt had allowed upon that part of the Oregon treaty an interpretation fatal to the jUBt claims of England. Rosario Strait, long after 1846, was the only known navigable channel between Oregon and Vancouver’s island, and hence was undoubtedly tbe channel indi cated in the treaty; yet the Government, with unhap py ingenuity, excluded the arbitration from the con sideration of this particular channel.He found no fault with Emperor William. Ho thought the Geneva Arbitrators would have acted more wisely had they anticipated his method, and confined them selves to rendering their decision, without giving reasons therefor. Lord Hamilton maid he would make no motion, and only desired to obtain from the House such an expression of opinion as would discourage the making of treaties hereafter ou the “ give all, get noting” principle.
