How to Execute President Davis

4,--

In connection with this matter, it is well to notice
the fiendish coolness with which certain people
speculate on the accompaniments of Mr. Davis's
execution. A person writing to a Boston news-
paper suggests that the usual " forms" (as he is
pleased to term them) of the law be set aside in
this case, and that the Confederate President be
executed at some central point, most convenient to
the whole country, so that all who wish to see " a
traitor's death" may witness the process of stran-
gulation. Another " loyal" correspondent is
of the opinion that the gallows should be manu-
factured from timber furnished by the several
States--a portion from each State. One man
wants him hung with a twisted American flag. A
woman has sent to the Wi.r Department, from
Charleston, a rope manufactured by her husband
especially for the purpose. Another woman has
given to the public a brilliant thought, to the effect
that the fatal cord shall be composed of strands
spun from hemp grown in the several States, one
strand from each State. This female should travel
in company with the man who suggests a gallows
of national construction. Still another person,
who evidently has not heard of the rope sent
from Charleston, thinks that the cord should
be made of South Carolina hemp. A man, who
calls himself "A Citizen of Norfolk, 'Virginia,"
advertises in a Norfolk paper that if the Govern-
ment does not want to kill Mr. Davis, he (the
advertiser) will agree to "do the job" himself.
Nor do these infamous wretches stop here. They
go beyond the gallows, and coolly discuss the " pro-
per disposition" of the body. One wants it buried
with that of Booth ; another wants it weighted with
rebel bullets and sunk in the deepest sea ; another
still proposes cremation, and the scattering the ashes
to the four -winds. Do not, good English readers; I
entreat of you, take these things as an expression
of the sentiments of the Northern people, for such
they are not. They are the outcroppings of that
ferocious spirit which suggested the starvation of
Confederate prisoners in retaliation for wrongs
alleged to have been inflicted upon captured Fe-
derals ; they are the fit results of the teachings of a
Chandler and an Anna Dickinson. Dark as they
are, they but illustrate human nature and show by
comparison the worth of civilisation. And, thank
God ! this show of utter vileness cannot defile the
path of eternal justice, or sully the fame of a great,
good man.—Letter from America.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—June 15.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Erie and
Justices Willes, Byles, and Smith.)
GEORGE O'MALLEY IRWIN V. SIR GEORGE GREY BART.

This case, having been set down in the list for argument,
came on in its turn for hearing about two o'clock this day.
It was, on a former occasion, set down for argument before
the judges of the Exchequer Chamber ; but, as usual, by
an application made on behalf of the defendant, was post-
poned.

Mi. Irwin appeared in person, and claimed his right to
have his case heard in its due course against the right hon.
defendant, as it had been duly set down in the list of argu-
ments, and stated to the Court that he was prepared to pro-
ceed there sith.

The adjourned special general meeting of this

The CHAIRMAN said they would now dispose of
the remaining bills on their list. Nos. 8, 10, and 11
were not necessary to submit, No. 14 had been
dropped, and No. 15 was ready to be submitted for
their approval. It was a bill promoted by the

an exchange of running powers over their Kirkbur-
ton branch to Barnsley-.
Mr. BROWN -WESTILEAD, M.P., seconded the
motion, approving the bill, and it was adopted.

The next bill submitted was No. 19, for autho-
