BiIl-.Triumph of Democracy.

We have the pleasure Of announcing to our
readers that the Independent Treasury Bill has
finally passed both branches ofour National Iegis
la,ure. The vote stood l2i to l07. The ia
Yeas are all friends of the Administration, incu-
ding Mcssrs Cooper, Colqutt and Black of Gcor-
g;s, and Messrs. S. II. Butler, Graffn, Holmes
pickens, Rhc,t and Sumter Of South Carolina, G.
Shepard Of N. G.. and d. II. Lewis of Alabama.
Mr.. John Campbell OF s. G. voted against the
bill, as well as Gen. Waddy Thompson; so did
Mr.. Casey of this State, and (somewhat to our
surprise) Judge Wick Of Indiana. Gen. Howard,
the Democratic candidate for Governor of Indiana,
was absent, he being at home, canvassing the
State with his opponent, Judge Bigger. The
Speaker of the House, Mr.. Hunter did not vote
at az, but he is known TO be favorable to the bill.
Mr.. Fisher Of N. G. State Rights man, who is
warm friend of the bill, was also absent. The
entire strength Of the BILL therefore, including the
SPEAKER, would be 1877.
On the other side, there nrc three seats vacant:
those of Mr.. Brown Of N. ", dead, and Messrs
Corwin of Ohio, and Storrs Of Connecticut, re-
signed. Messrs. Granger Of N. Y, Lawrence OF
Mass, Wise of Va, Anderson and S. Williams of
XIV. were absent from the House. some by indis-
position and others engaged in Presidcnt-making.
The bill passed is substantially the same with the
one Which passed the Senate at the Extra Session
Of 1887. We intend to publish the bill in short
time.
Thus the great struggle between The Demoera-
cy and Bankers has terminated, the former gaining

eight or zen days previous, went into Fox river
for the purpose of bathing, & owing to some cause
was drowned, We understand he was Nirgini-

was taken out of the water after an clapse of an
hour and half, but all efforts to recover life
proved useless.

Execution Of john stone.

On Friday, the 10th inst, at IA min
utes past three o'clock, John Stone, sent
enced to death for the murder of Mrs.
Lucretia Thompson, under the most ag-
gravated circumstances, was swung from
the gallows, and died apparently without
much struggling and without single mo-
ton after two minutes. He renamed on
the rope about ls minutes, when he was
cut down, placed in "A coffin and delivered
to Drs. Dyer q Boone for dissection.
About one O'Clock, he was taken from
the Jail, clothed in white shroud, and
placed on board stage with the Rev.
j. Hallam, of the Episcopal church, drawn
by four horses, which took him to the
gallows erected about three mile out of
the city on the open prairie. The Sher-
| iff took for the preservation of peace,
about 200 armed horsemer and 100 foot
men, who attended the stage to the place
execution, and formed circle around the
gallows. There were many thousand
people congregated of all classes, men,
women and children of every condition in
life. And there was not the least SYMPTOM
of disorder on the occasion. From be-
ginning to end deep stiffness and solem-
nifty pervaded the congregation.
He walked from the stage coach up On
the stand with the utmost composure,
sustained by Deputies Lowe and Davis,
where the appropriate service was per-
formed by Rev. Mr.. Hallam. He told
the Sheriff to announce to the public his
perfect satisfaction with his treatment
whilst in Jail, and, what astonished all,
his perfect innocence of the crime alledg-
ed. This latter, we presume, not one of
the immense crowd believed. And it is
our candid opinion that, previous to his
first sentence, he would have confessed
the whole, had he not been informed that
there were chances of his acquittal by the
Supreme Court.
The construction of the gallows, apart
from the permanent stand and the usual
framework to sustain the beam from
which he was suspended, consisted of a
small piece of board attached to the per-
manent stand by hinges, and sustained by
a prop to which was attached rope.
After the sentence had been read by Mr..
Lowe and Stone expressed wish to say
nothing further, the Sheriff drew the cap
over his face and dropped his handker-
chief, which was the signal for negro to
pull out the prop, which was done in an
instant.
After he had hung a sufficient time, a
wagon, containing the coffin, was driven
under the body and the rope cut. But,
instead Of falling into the wagon, he fell
upon one of the wheels and then upon the
ground, head first. Which was the only
thing to be regretted on the occasion.
The fall on the gallows was about four
feet and apparently broke his neck. We
noticed that he bled sufficiently at the
mouth to stain through his white cap.
i Stone was rising six feet high, would
weigh about 200, was 81 years of age
born in Ireland and had been 81 years in
this country. He had been in Auburn

{" A Word 10 the Wise.

AS member of the wing party and in
common with you, deeply interested in
the success Of Harrison and reform, |
wish to say through your columns, to the
general committee, that the proposed vi
olation of the moral sense of the COM
munity, by opening the Broadway log
cabin on the Sabbath, will meet the rep
rotation of thousands in this city and
elsewhere, and innict on the wing cause
ireparable injury.
Many Wings who are sound to the
core are already shut out of the log cabin,
by the affinity it bears to other grog shops
nor can they see why bar is any neces-
sary appendage to a log cabin. Let cider
barrels be adopted if need be as political
insignia but let them be empty; and il
the wing party expect to retain in their
ranks the true friends of temperance and
morals, their watchword must be all talk
andno CIDER Their log-cabins must no,
be converted into rum-holes, nor theil
meetings into scenes of revclry and drunk
erncss, as will be the case when brandy
whiskey and the like are either sold with
out license or given away. Especially
let II be understood, that to open thes,
log cabins on Sunday either day or night
will sacrifice more votes than will be ne
cessary to elect Gen. Harrison. Tha
which is morally wrong can never be 20
litically right, and any party which shall
thus outrage the consciences Of the reli
gicus community need not expect thei
votes"
