M. Ducoux, the director of the Carriage Com-
pany, has published an extraordinary note to the
ticket which every cabman is bound to put in the
hands of his fare, reducing the gratuity called
pourboire to • regular system, and informing the
public how much they are expected to give. Prac-
tically, the information may be useful especially to
foreigners, but in principle nothing can be more
anomalous than to issue • tariff of • gratuity or
optional payment by authority. The note says :
When one is ..stinted with the driver it is enstointry to
give him •pourboirr, which is in general 25c. per hour,
sod varies from 10e. to Be. &wordlist' to &slime by the
drive.
The Ga:ctie de France protests very strongly
against this assumption of M. Ducoux to
authorise mendicity, and advises the public not
to pay a centime beyond the legal fare. It is
indeed a passing impudent thing that a great
company which has obtained the monopoly of
public conveyances in this capital should eke out
the wages it pays to its servants by levying a tax
upon the public. The fares are already absurdly
high, and it is quite certain that the cabmen will
give no extra civility to people who merely offer
the bare pourboire tariffed by the manager. Any-
body whose nerves shrink from abuse or scowls
will be obliged to pay more. When things have
come to such a pass as M. Haussmann has
brought them it is quite plain that the
pourboire should be abolished. The public is
entitled to a reasonable tariff, and to know the
worst of it. M. Ducoux's plan is only an exten-
sion of the system fast becoming prevalent in French
hotels, of charging for servants in the bill, and
allowing servants to expect something besides.
M. Ernest Feydeau, the celebrated novelist, is
carrying on a warm controversy in his journal, the
Epoque, with the Lyons and Mediterranean Com-
pany, about the late terrible disaster at Royuac-
The company have compelled him, by legal process,
to insert an answer to some of his articles. But be
still contends that no full and satisfactory account of
the accident has yet been published, and says
"The public has • right to know why the com-
pany allowed their line at Roynac to become
rotten before they set about repairing it, and
whether it is true, as rumoured, that the whole
line between Lyons and Marseilles stands in need
of repairs at this moment 1" The latter is certainly
a fearful question.

he was on the trial, and bare-headed. He wee attended by
his spiritual advisors, the Rev. Dr. Butler, of the Lu-

had to be supported by a soldier on either side. He was

support, • guard walking on either side of him. He was

straw hat on, and was followed by his spiritual advise,.,

Surfeit and Payne opposite ens drop, sad Harrold and
Atzerodt opposite the other, the five-eighths manilla rope,
with its ominous Doan duelist before each respectively,
the nooses reaching to within an average of eighteen inches
from the floor.
Oa the prisoners being seated, or rather sinking into
their chairs, the finding and sentence of the military corn-
raisin, as approved by the President and already pub-
lished, was read in • clear, calm vane by Major-General
Hartnett, standing to the middle of the platform. The
appearance of the prisoners as they sat there in • row
facing the west, and the crowd and Gardner's photographic
instrumental peering from the upper windows of an opposite
building, and the ropes swung in the breeze, immediately
before them, was that of agony ineffable. The thought
came rushing upon the Wad of the spectator : "Oh !
what would they not give if they could undo the fatal

Mrs. Sarratt was vary much prostrated, and seemed
to be kept alive almost entirely by the spiritual conso-
led:us of her advisers, who were neranithing is their
attentions until the end. After the resdint of the sen-
tence by General Hartruft, Rev. Dr. Gillette stepped
forward in behalf of Payne, and stated that he bad been re-
quested by the prisoner, Lewis Thereto° Powell, alias Payne,
to publicly on this occasion return his sincere thanks to
General Hal tranft and the onions and men under his com-
mand for their uniform kinduess toward him during him
confinement. Not one unkind word, look, or gesture had
been given him by any ace of them. The rev. doctor then
led in • fervent prayer in behalf of the prisoner, in which
the latter followed, closing with • feeling Amen, his eyes
at the same time filling with tears. Payne throughout
wore an air of contrition as well as courage, and thereby
excited tae ply of the spectators tally as much as any of
the other prisoners who were more minuend.
The spiritual Edwina of Harrold and Atzerodt also
returned the thanks of their charges respeotively to
General Heitman and his officers and men, for their uni-
form kindest= • and joined is prayer with the prisners
in SUCC•SIiOS. LT. Butler preceding his is the cue of At-
zeroth with an impressive exhortation. Daring all this
time the advisers of Kra. Elamite were assiduous in their in-
tuitions to her, and by their esesolations kept her measure-
ably nerved up for the terrible denonemeat. She appeared
—bang her unavoidable prostrstion—passive in their
hands and resigned to her fate. On the conclusion of
the prayer in the case of Atherudt, which was the
last, the prisoners were led forward, supported
adj uste byd
their respective ottandants„ sad the ropes
around the neck by different persons. About
the same time Mrs. Serrate seemed, by • desperate
mantel effort, to nerve herself up speeially for this occa-
sion, looking forward and around her, for the only time,
with an air of mingled deteemioation sod resignation. Her
bonnet and veil were removed previous to the putting of
the noose upon her neck. Payne held back his bead, and
was particular about having the noose adjusted and secured
by tightening above his "Adam's apple, as if it had been
the adjustment of • cravat for • festive occasion. Harrold
sod Atesrodt, during the process of adjusting the sows,
looked as if experiencing ineffable agony, as well as Mrs.
&mitt, who was now bordering on • fainting eoodition and
wee kept conscious only by the assiduous fanning and other
attentions of heir Woodson Payne stood erect and un-
supported, and he sloe, it was said by one of the spiritual
advisers, bad come upon the scaffold without indulgence is
stionlants, which he had steadily refused, saying that he
wished to die with an unclouded mind.
At the conclusion of the address of Atzerodt's spirituel
attendant and his deeply solemn and feeling petition to
Henn° for Divine clemency, he wan conducted to the drop
by his attendants, and while the white cotton bands were
being tied about his legs and arms, exhthibited great esth-
ete° and emotion, being se ircely able to remsin in an erect
position. The noose was then plated about his neck, and
previous to its final adjustment he addressed a few inaudible
words to his execatioser, sod the rope was removed.
General Hartraaft then approached, when Atzerodt
evidently repeated his request, and the noon was then
drawn over his head, when he exclaimed in a terrified
voice, " Gentlemen, take warn—" probably intending
to say, what his agonised feelings. prevented him from
expressing. "Gentlemen, take werntog by my example."
A merinos after sad he trembhogly ejaculated, "Good bye,
geode/no, who an before one now. And, after a abort
interval. added, "Me, we all meet in the other world."
As the rope was being adjusted to his neck, and just before
the drop fell, he cried out in rather aloud voice, " Don't
choke me." These were the lest words he uttered, which
were succeeded by several audible groans.
At this juncture the nooses and white caps Lewis( all
been adjusted, Captain Beth, Assistant Provost-tdawshal,
having immediate charge of the execution, stepped in front
of the scaffold, oo the ground, and motioned to all athen-
dents on the scaffold to step beck off the drops, which they
did, the proper owe still reaching forward and supporting
their charges respectively on the drops. Immediately on
this movement being accomplished, Captain Rath also rave
the signal for the props to be knocked from under, which
was done by a swinging Inman for each shoved longitudi-
nally ; and the four conspirators, having fallen about five
feet esch, were left dangling spasmodically in the air. The
cur odious of Payne were the 'Croakiest, attributable to his
highest physical coudition. Harrold died next hardest.
The deaths of Mrs. Sundt and Atzerodt were compara-
tively eau. Mee. Sundt, on faille', made a convulsive
effort to bring her hands round her tight side in front of
her, and they remained in such contorted position until she
was cut down.
