Aot* of the Legislature. We notice the publication of sever al columns of the acts of the Legisla ture. During the session we publish ed all the acts of importance tnat be came laws by being passed by both houses. Most of the acts that were passed and are now laws are of a lo cal character in most of which the readers take no interest. Hence, we do not publish the acts as we find them in the daily papers. As before stated, we have published tliosa of general interest to all the people. The Sentenced Anarohiits. Judge Scott, of the Illinois Court of Appeals, granted the supersedeas in the anarchists’ case Friday morn ing. The effect of the order for the supersedeas will be to stay the execu tion at least until the full bench of the Supreme Court has passed upon the questions raised for a new trial. It is estimated that in the ordinary course of procedure a hearing and decision cannot be reached for six or eight weeks, and that even though the lower court is sustained, the sen tence cannot be carried out until some time in March or April. Mr. Blaine’s Views of Gen. Logan. We do not use Mr. Blaine’s exact words for want of space. He did not know Gen’l Logan before the war, but was introduced to him by the President after it was over, meeting him accidently. Mr. Lincoln eulogi zed him very highly by giving him eminent military rank, the highest of voluntary officers in the army of the Union. In the Senate his rela tions with Gen. Logan came to be friendly anil intimate. Mr. Blaine spoke of him as a mau of immense force in a Legislative body. His will was unbending and his courage both moral and physicial was of the highest order. In ilebute he was aggressive and effective. We allude to Mr. Blaine's opinion as they ran on the same ticket for President and Vice- President. Hon. Allen G. Thurman Spoke at Columbus. He made a true Democratic speech at the fourth annual banquet in cele bration of tbe 8th of January, under the auspices of the Jackson club. He delivered his speech on the night of the 7th, as lie was about to leave and could not be present on the 8th. He made a powerful old-fashioned Dem ocratic speech, eulogizing tbe great old hero Jackson and urged the home rule of the States in opposition to the doctrine of consolidation. Reading it reminded us of Governor Gordon’s allusion to the states in his inaugural address. He denounced consolidation as dangerous and calculated to de stroy the constitutional rights of the states. He said, in substance, there was no time to discuss the subject fully that night but said, the Democratic party is the party of free institutions and it will be indestructible so long as freedom exists in America. He concluded in these words: “All that I can do in concluding my brief re marks is to conjure you to cherish a deep and unfaltering love of your free institutions; to inculcate this love in to the minds of your children, and never, under any circumstances, how ever appalling, to despair of the Re public.” MR. WATTKRSON COULD NOT ATTEND. Among the letters and telegrams from prominent Democrats, who were invited but were not present, was the following: COURIKR-JOURNAI* OFFICK, > Louisvillk, Ky., Dec. 19, 1886. > My Dear Sir:—X regret that it will not be possible for me to be with you on the 8th of January, There has been no time in the history of the Democratic party when there was such need as there now is to read the memory of Jackson, and with it to confront his defamers. These are not confined to the old and common enemy. They are to be found in our own company. I could not in duty or in honor un dertake to address any body of as sembled Democrats without calling them by name und stigmatizing them as traitors, and as this wonld surely mur the harmony of an occasion meant to be convivial, it is best for you and me that 1 stay away. Let me hope, however, that the banquet at Columbus will reanimate the spirit of old Hickory and in effect, if not in words, give the lie to the system of organized calumny which lias arrayed itself ugninst his name and fame, anil which as impersona ted by the recognized leaders and actors.’ in the liypocracy known as civil service reform, it deserves the scorn of all honest Americans. I am, dear sir, after thanking you and the Jackson Association fo* re membering me, as always, your obedi ent servant, [Signed.] Henry YVatterson. i Labor in Europe. see, in the Augusta Chronicle of th4 10th instant, a letter taken from the Baltimore Manufacturer’s Record froin London, Eng., dated Dec 14th, 1880, written by 0. Lovell to Major Wih. M. Pegrame, the object of which is to sustain the policy of a S rojteotive tariff in the United States. [r.; Lovell undertakes to show how the want of such a tariff, reduces the wages of labor, and cites the pay of the workers in a German factory which he says: “I visited 5 hours per day* for todays.” He says: “It was finely situa ted as to getting its raw material, and in the midst of a fine country. It was the only manufacturing industry of any importance in the town, which was small, anil could fairly be called a representative German factory.” “There were,” he says, “about 700 persons employed, consisting of 400 men, 200 boys from 14 to 17 years and 100 females ranging from 14 to 40 years of age,” and he says they were all ‘good workers. 1 There was not a workingman who got over 2 marks 50 pfennings per day equal in our money to 02 cants, this only for the best, perhaps 20 of them. There were no others who received over two marks or 00 cents per day, there were about 180 of them. The other 200 received about 1 mark 80 pfennings per day or 45 cants per day and other* 1 mark 50 pfennings- or 45 eents per day and others 1 mark 50 pfennings per day or 87 cents.” Others received 25 and 20 cents par day. The females reoeived from 18 to 25 cents, and for this pay they gava 12 hours faithful work. At times they were made to plow or carry up the hod three or four flights of stairs with briok or other equally hard work. Now mark—this showing was made to prove the value aud superiority of having a protec tive tariff which would enable the proprietors to pay better wages. This whole statement would be laughable were it not for the excessive toil of the workers in that factory, for the German tariff is a protective tar iff. Over, in free trade England, the workers are equally as well off if not better than the workers in the protective tariff United States, and under her free trade, England is con trolling the commerce of the world. Under protection, our ships have dis appeared from the ocean, and under her high tariff, the commerce of Ger many lias disappeared from the seas. Germany workmen are almost reduc ed to beergary by her high tariff, aud the United States’ manufacturers pay their workmen better than the Ger mans because JihtLUnited States Tar- Xeutal Hallucination. We make up the following from a remarkable case of mental vagary which we recently read in an old mag- tuine, an account of which was re ported by a physician who was called In to attend a youth who was the viotiiu. We pass over the supposed causes of the strange and powerful influence which led him to believe he would die on a certain day at 9 o'clock. He was a young man eighteen years old of a rather weakly constitution and delicate nerves but in other re spects apparently healthy with good mind, gentle manners, and often given to much pleasantry in his sooial rela tions. Quite suddenly a great change was perceptible in his manners, which from being cheerful and pleasant, as sumed a deeply seriouB character, leading him to shun company, con fine himself to his room and avoid as sociation with his boon companions. This had continued for several days without a change and the family physician was called in to sco him. He frankly admitted that he had seen a strange man in a dream, two suc cessive nights, who informed him that on a certain dav, then near at band, he would die when the oloek struck nine. He became so deeply sxoibed by thiB revelation, ooiuing from a man who professed to commune with departed spirits, that he eonld sleep only at short intervals and almost in- v art ably would dream of seeing the man, beholding his pale face and the deep solemnity of his looks, especial ly tne fixed and solemn expression of his eyes. The physician found this the most singular case he had ever known, tor, apparently in good health, he saw in the young man’s behavior and in the deep solemnity of his looks that he believed what the strauge man had told him in his sleep, was a revelation .that won;d come to pass as sure as the sun would rise on the morn of the fatal day. His imagina tion was thoroughly oaptured and he spoke of his coming death, with as much certaintv of its occurring as any viotiw of tne law condemned to execution on tbe appointed day ever anticipated the death penalty when it arrived* The physician put in force every art known to the profes sion to change his dreadful thoughts and relieve his mind from the fearful chains that bound it and made his flesh crawl and his heart beat with anticipation of the fatal day and hour. He would repeat “nine o’o ock” and bid fare will to his young friends who called to seo him and even gave directions about his funeral and the disposition of ids watch and books ... The bfa-h his strange imaginations, their exclusive .. tariff is a kind of sly and peacefu monetary warfare made by the United States Government upon a large class of our citizens, mainly the cultivators of the soil; the German high tariff is simply a plain and open withholding of fair wages from the operatives. The powerful engine of moral force, directed by the honest spirit of the age. will, eventually, crush the imposture of one, and the tyranny of the other. Both are fat tening in their own way, one upon the wrongs inflicted by secret measures of power, and the other, by open and bare-faee inhospitiable greed. Either Ib an obliquity of moral vi9ion un justifiable by any code of political or social morals. Dr. A. P. Southwick, of Buffalo, N Y., has recommended to Governor Hill, of New York, the substitution of electricity for hanging in executions for capital crimes. His plan is to per fect an arm-chair with electrical arms, in which the condemned man would be seated and at the proper moment receive a full electric charge through the metallic arms. This would pass straight through his body across the chest and death would be instantane ous. A dynomo of forty-two horse power would be sufficient, he believes, to accomplish the work with neatness and dispatch. Bradstreet’s summary for 1886 shows that the number of failures amounted to 10,568 against 11,116 for 1885, and 11,620 for 1884. The decid ed imporvement is supplemented by a higher per cent, of assets to liabili ties. The general liabilities for 1880 were $113,048,291 against $119,120,700 for 1885, and the actual assets for these two years, were, respectively, $55,819,173 and $55,265,102, making the per cent, of assets to liabilities 49 and 46.—Augusta Chronicle. Natural gas is as bad as dynamite when it gets on a tare. On the 7th, the natural gas leaking in the street main iu Youngstown, Ohio, blew up the new Andrews block, nearly com pleted, which cost $70,000, urul de stroyed four other blocks, which were set on fire by the gas. Thomas Brenegun, aged 17, sleeping in one of the buildings, was cremated, and an other man is missing. The Baptist Church and other buildings are in ruins. Prince Bismarck’s speech on the army estimates is regarded as surely indicating war during the coining fienuS to live with ids friends around him, he sat in gloomy thoughtful looks when they, to divert him, engag ed in lively conversation, jokes and even satirical remarks. He took no part in their discourse, frequently sighed and grew seriously angry at their attempts to rally him. He nev er closed Ins eyes and his thoughts were all ths tune engaged with his approaching decease. He wrote a letter to his absent father, his mother was dead, to acquaint him with his approaohing dissolution and to bid him farewell. His eyes were inflam ed from weeping. There was coldness of the extremities and a low contract ed pulse. The physician again en deavored to convince him by the most powerful arguments of the futility of his notion and urged that he could- find no cause of death iu him, but he insisted that his death must en sue as it was an unalterable de cree of fate. To do all that was pos sible, the good doctor administered a strong euictic and cathartic, and ap plied blisters to his thighs. He sub mitted to everything that was done but with the assurance that his body was already half dead anil the reme dies would be of no use. He added besides, that on the previous night he had seen the figure in white again which beckoned to him aniljpronounc- ed these words: “The day after to morrow, at nine in the morning, thou sh&lt die I” The Doctor when leaving gave in structions to be sent for very early on the following morning. He was there at the rising of the sun. There was no change in the condition of the pa tient. He had studied the case through the night anil concluded that if he would really die when the clock struck nine, the only hope depended upon carrying him past that hour. He believed he would die at nine ami the physician hoped that as his delu sion hinged upon that hour, he would be safe if he passed it alive. He plac ed liia hope upon opium. He felt then that it ought to have been ad ministered earlier. But as it was in tne summer time, there was tune enough perhaps to effect the object in view and he gave the patient a he roic dose of Laudanum and hen-bane and took ills seat by the bed-side or the patient giving instructions that there should be no talking or mov ing that could awaken the young inuu from sleep. He soon fell into a deep sleep. Not a sound was heard. The clock was stopped and the Doctor had the pi -asure to seo that the patient was still sound asleep when his watch * hud until have long overslept death,”’ and was greeted with congratulations a some laughter on tne part aff friends. He immediately covemd head to hide his shame and soon thi the bed olothes off and joined m ‘ laugh, declaring that the whole ■ appeared to him like a dream and that he could not conceive how fen could be such r simpleton. He af terwards enjoyed the best health, ww- fond of Ilfs and never had anathan hour appointed by a ghost or gobfen in which to die. CONGRESSIONAL.

He is «aar . ardent admirer of the “martyr Preai— dent,” but must, he says, smile at Xte*- stories told and the efforts to manat— facture a demigod. He says Mr. Lin coln was a child of nature, with kinzl- ly impulses, some streaks of geesoa and mucii cunning, which compenia* ted for his lack of culture.

Lincoln went stark mad on this last affair and waa confined in a log hut with a roof naiL ed down to prevent his escape, and fed through a crack between the logs. Some young Kentuckians, whose fathers had settled them upon the rich lands of Boat hern Illinois, hetml that a young man from their State was shut up under such miserable conditions, aud they went up to the lonely cabin and took him to Ken tucky, where lie was placed in an asylum and remained for a year or eighteen months.
