THE COUNSEL AND THE REPRIEVE.--The execu-
tion of Chas. fi. Walters for the murder of his mis-
tress, Nancy E. Vincent, which was to have taken place at
the Tombs yesterday, was postponed by order of Governor
Fenton, until the 7th proximo. The reprieve did not arrive
till within a few minutes of the time appointed for the
execution. The prisoner's counsel, ex-Judge Stuart, had
gone up to Albany, it appears, the day before for the pur-
pose of making a final effort to obtain a respite, and on
Thursday evening succeeded in obtaining the Governor's
signature to the document. He at once telegraphed the fact
to the Sheriff, and said he would be on hand in the morn-
ing with the necessary papers. This was the only notice
the Sheriff received, and the friends of the condemned man
anxiously awaited the arrival of ex-Judge Stuart to see if
the news was true. In the hurry and confusion attending
the undertaking ex-Judge Stuart missed the train from
Albany, which arrives in this city about half-past 10
o'clock, and was obliged to fall bark upon the uncertainty
of a steamboat, which ought to have arrived here about 5
o'clock. Unfortunately a thick fog set in on the river soon
after the departure of the boat, which caused a delay of se-
veral hours, rendering the counsel's position decidedly un-
easy. He knew that it was Walters's express desire that
the execution should take place as early as possible, and he
was fearful that the reprieve might not arrive in time. The
fog still hung over the channel of the river, and the boat's
progress was so slow that it was really a matter of doubt
whether she would reach the wharf in time to be of any ad-
vantage to poor Walters. The captain was urged to push
ahead, and no doubt did his best to make up for lost time,
but the counsel was fidgetty, and insisted that he would be
to,) late unless they put on a little more steam. The sus-
pense of the counsel was soon over, however ; the city ap-
peared in view, and the captain assured him that he would
land him at the foot of Canal-street at half-past 8 o'clock,
which would give him sufficient time to reach the Tombs
before 9 o'clock, the hour appointed for the execu-
tion. True to his word, the captain landed his passengers
at the appointed hour, and the way the ex-judge jumped
ashore before the gang plank was out and made straight
for a carriage was a sight worth seeing. As we have pre-
viously stated, he reached the Tombs in time to postpone
the execution, and entered the condemned man's cell and
acquainted him with his good fortune. Walters was con-
versing with his mother and sister when his counsel's arrival
was announced, and before the turnkey could unlock the
cell dOor the ex-judge and his client was shaking hands
and congratulating each other through the iron gratings of
the door, Walters wept like a child when he heard the
news, and his counsel vented his feelings in the same way,
only that he was more excited, and cried faster, louder, and
longer than the prisoner did.—New York Herald, June 24.
