Let us have out the names of the persons charged.
for as the play says
~,hoecr; Why I CUI teach you, cousin, to com-
mand—the devil."
" llotrpor: And I can teach thee, cox, to shame the
devil—fly telling truth."
As I believe Mr. Walker is hannted by the Tammany
Ring, I nmstremiu,l him that tlo we who broke up that
scandalous system of municipal n.hhery did not do so
by .uncealing the names of persons charged. Week
after week, the forms of the head robber, the Demo-
crat Aldermen "Tweed, with his three companions,
Okey Hall, Peter B. Sweeney, and Dick tonally,
appeared under none fresh form to excite the scorn
and contempt of the people." l'atil Mr. Walker comes
like a Yankee or an Englishman, which-ever nation he
belongs to, and states whew it is that he attacks, we
can't listen to hiin. All his charges against a "system "
seem at present to be airy and unfounded, and the
shadow of support they have, seems to have been got
from the bodily weakness of a siek and too considerate
old officer, who, rather than pre.. poor people too hard,
pail the money himself. It is a pity that we should
ever get old and feeble: it may not be in Mr. Walker's
idea of business; but we can't pension 11ff everybody
when their work begins to be slackly done, or, in this
matter of the Local rates investigation, we should
have to superannuate Mr. Walker himself.

Even our member, 31 r. Edward., t whom Weymouth
iF so dear, is occasionally not able to attend to his duties
as he ishes. I am very sorry to hear that Mr.
Edwards is somewhat on the Fick list, and purposed
leaving England on Monday last, for a fortnight's run
on -tbe Continent He suffers from a rather severe
cold; but everybody will wish and prav that he may
be so blessed as to lay in a good stock of health.

Portland has become waked up to a clear sense of
how to fight In olden times the Portlander, were
among the straight-hitting Englishmen who came out
by hundreds to optiose force by force at an election.
They were not the only ones. for I think I have heard
of desperate struggles with the Wareham clsrdiggers ;
but the Portlanders were those with whom Weymouth
had most to do, and great was the shock of war, when
these Baleares meet their foes. But now their
fighting is to be among themselves, and in the modern
way, by struggles over local expenses, as about half-a-
yard of atone, and by outlaying large sums in law. A
new school have started with the object of reforming

MR. WALKER AND MR. TAYLOR.

Sir, —ln the account of the Town Council meeting
contaimsl in the Sostkres of March 216, Mr.
Mee is reported to have referred to the case of a
ratepayer from Vill.lll VIM demanded £1 more than
was due. It will. doubtless become current that he
alluded to a demand made upon me in respect .4 one
,1 the rates for 1571 lu order to prevent mi,lppre-
hension. I shall feel obliged if you will kindly permit
me to state, through the medium of your paper, that I
had not the slightest reason to doubt Mr. Taylors
integrity. I accepted as true his statement that he
had correctly copied the amount from the rate book,
and that the mistake did not originate with him. I
am not aware that I have conveyed the impression to
Mr. Walker or anyone else that Mr. 1 aylor was
culpable in the matter. The intercourse I had with
Mr. Taylor led me to consider him an upright and
honourable man. I with, alas, publicly to exonerate
Mr. Walker from the charge that he seeks to defame
a dead man's character, in so far as such charge may
be based on the statement I made to him. At the
time when I communicated the fact to Mr. Walker he
not assail Mr. Taylor's character for honesty, nor
has he in my presence at any subsequent period
attenipted to defame him. If c ha. cn the contrary,
always expressed his belief in Mr. Taylor's uprightness.
I am, yours respectfully,

The triumphal supper of the " Vigilante" party, or
those who claim that they are going to advance much
needed reform., took place on Friday evening, at the
Royal Portland Arms Hotel, where Mrs. Hindmarsh
provided a capital repast. The chairmiu was Mr. IL
0. Mahey, supported by Mr. M. C. Weston, of Dor-
chester, the solioitor of the party in the great contest,
! Mr. Robert Pearce, the hard-working and faithful
honorary secretary, who has borne a very laege share
, of the brunt of the battle, Mr. It. J. Andrews, the
! successful candidate, also was at the head of another
table, Captain W. Attw.sdl (Local Board), and Mr.

To th 4 Mao,.

Sir,—l'ermit me to draw attention to one or two
inaccuracies in your report of the above case on the
23rd instant. Yon say the testatrix met with serious
" in the year 1872. She had no losses but a
serious " illm-ss." The witness described as Alice
I' Peach" ehould be Alice " Slade." As the first
error is likely to create a wrong impression in a came
that I, with others in court, think was most unfairly
tried, the foreman of the jury having twice declared
to the judge that the jury were satisfied without hear-
ing one tittle of evidence for the defence, causing a
bikewarm.less, and deterring course' from calling two
of my principal witnesses (Mr. W. Slade and Miss
, Galpin) to give evidence. I shall feel obliged if you
will correct the errors.

SCENE AT AN EXECUTION.

Anderson Sbiff,at, who, with Silas Morris, was con-
demned to be hanged for the murder of David G. Lawson,
was executed in the gaol yard, at Harrhonburgli, on Sep-
tember 2.5. Morris WM respite to October fl by Governor
Kemper. ShiffiAt made a dying statement to the Rev.
David Barr, his spiritual adviser, easPrtirig his innocence
of the actual murder, but acknowledging that he knew
that Lawson was to be killed. A few minutes before ten
he was led from his cell to the scaffold by the sherriff and
• deputy, accompanied by Clergyman Barr. He was coin
pletely unmanned, and had to be supported up the steps
of the scaffold. He wept bitterly, and loudly protested
his innocence of the killing. The gallows was erected at
one end of the small yard at the rear of the gaol, and the
execution took place in the presence of about 50 persona.
The scene moved the stoutest hearts. The sheriff and hie
deputies, unused to such work, were nervous and excited.
The rope used was less than half an inch in thickness, and
thought to he too weak by many, which proved to he true.
After the clergyman ha l read the statement of the con-
demned man and offered prayer, and while the sheriff was
adjustinf the rope about ShiMetes neck, he wept bitterly,
saying, Gentleinen, I never did anything to anybody to
be hung for ;in.lc.d I did not kill Mr. Lawson. As sure as
you are born, you are hanging an innocent man. There
was much delay in getting ready to spring the fatal trap,
and, anthe rope holding the trap door was cut, the doomed
Man fell downward to the ground. The rope was broken.
Shiflett uttered a groan, and was again lifted an the
scaffold. Her, he renewed his cries and lamentations,
exclaiming, "God knows lam innocent." A second and
stronger rope was procured. While it was being adjusted
he agked Deputy-Sheriff Bowman to raise the black cap
from hie eyes, so that he might look upon the light once
more. His request was granted, and, turning towards the
spectators, he said with firmness, " Gentleman,
bid you all good-bye." The second attempt of the sheriff
was succeesfid. In 11 minutes the physicians pronounced
life extinct, mod in SS minute he wee cot down,
