Execution of ZephOn--the Effect:
r.. B.

Our readers have been Informed ere
now of the judicial murder of Zephon
on Friday Of last week in the yard of
Moyamensing prison. 1t deserves the
appellation of a murder moi only be
cause it was the wilful taking of life by
violence, but because of the mode Of its
inhiction, and also because TIE victim
was contessedly not guilty Of the act for
which he was hung. The real murder,
er was tried and acquitted, it is said
through the agency of The very money
that he robbed f,om the murdered man.
Zephon consented to the act and receiv-
ed part of the booty as hush money,
but had not enough to save his life. He
was twice hung. After the first hanging,
the rope being too long, he was united ,
and again led on the platform, and after
the delay required to adjust the rope, the
revolving and disgraceful process was
consummated He bore his fate without
complaint, acknowledging that though
he had not killed Todd, yet he deserved
death. His demeanor was bold and
dauntless. In short, he died like man
ANIL hero. His death was we'll adapted
TO detract from the terror Of the gallows,
and to lessen the value Of human life. -
One who witnessed the composure and
6rmness which he exhibited, is said to
have exclaimed, well, hanging is nc
such terrible punishment after all!'
1t is worthy Of remark that among the
spectators who had gained access to the
prison yard, land who witnessed the scene
were two men who had been arraigned
and tried for murder, and acquitted
One of them who had committed a colo
booded and premeditated murder, eyeo
the wretched victim Of the galows in his
final struggles, and then coolly drew {
segar from his pocket and proceeded tc

FROZEN TO DEATH-EFFEcps OF Rum
"A man by the name of Ira Leonart
was frozen to death in Halifax, in thi.
county, OH the night Of Tuesday the 8tt
inst.
The circumstances, as related TO US
are as follows, and although we cannot
vouch for their exact truth, we presume
they are correct.
In Halifax there is no place where
rum is sold for the public good under
license; aud the deceased, in the alb
sence of his wife, started with his little
boy for Marlboro, to get his jug filed
On his way he directed his boy to 60 IN
to school house and await his return
The boy waited much longer than he
supposed to be sufficient time for his
father to return and started in search of
him. At Marlboro he ascertained tina,
his father had got his jug repenished
and had started for home. The boy re-
turned to his home in Halifax, but saw
nothing ofhis father. He remained in
the house alone all night and in the NOR
ming related to neighbor who happen
ed to come TO the house, the circum-
stances. A search was made, and soon
the lifeless, frozen body Of The poor in
ebriate was discovered, with the half
emptied fatal jug by his side.

tongued eloquence of the effects of the

The constitution Of the United States,

The writ of ha6eas corpus shall not be
suspended, unless when in cases of re-
belion or invasion, the public safety may

South Carolina thus, in another in
stance, sets at defiance the constitution

'y. The writ of habcas corpus has been
allowed in the State ever since the reign

The Irish were faithful in every re-

BY acts of Parliament every Catholic was
deprived OF the power OF sellinga jointure
on any Catholic wife-or charging his

or disposing of his property by will.

If any Catholic purchase for money a.

powered to take it away from the Catho-
lie. Thus the Catholic lost both money
and estate. j any Catholic got az estate
in land by marriage, by gift or by wills
any Protestant could seize it.

Personal Disabilities. No Catholic,

No Catholic could hold any Office of

A Catholic had no legal projection for
