The execution of Conradt Venter took place in
the Jail yard to-day, between twelve and one
o'clock. The culprit met his fate with great forth
tude, and evinced signs of penitence. He has given
forth to the world confession, in which he ac-
knowledges the crime for which he was con-
demned
As usual upon such occasions, large concourse
of persons were present, spectators of the scene
There were probably not less than twenty thou
sand in the vicinity Of the gallows. For the sake
of female modesty, regret to learn that many of
the tender sex-some, too, who should have had
better regard for themselves-were spectators of
this scene How gross and morbid must be the
taste that seeks such exhibitions. 1t is full time
that women should cease to exhibit themselves in
these spectaces. The natural tint of modesty upon
their cheeks should veil them with the blush of
shame, and make such things repulsiye.

We learn that the cholera at Henrico poor-house
is on the decrease. There were only four cases on
Wednesday at one O'Clock, and those were consid-
cred convalescent. Eight deaths in all had taken
place up to that hour, and the excitement in the
neighborhood which had been produced by the
appearance of the epidemic at the poor-house had
subsidized. The overseers Of the poor had met, and
made all necessary arrangements for the comfort
of the afflicted and the healthy.

The celebrated economist SAY observes,
that man who performs one operation all
his life, comes to execute It better and
more rapidly than any other man. This
accounts for the singular facility and fell
city in the use Of opprobrious epithets
exhibited by our venerable contemporary
Of the sole organ. He has been practising
in the vocation for more than half CEN
fury. We must say that his case, how
ever, forms no exception to the moral
which SAY deduces from his observation,
which is couched in an expression Of re-
gret that such a man at the same time
proves less capable Of every other occu-
patton; physical and moral !; "his other
faculties are extinguished, and there re-
suits degradation to the human being,
considered Individually"

The Boston papers mention the death, on the l7th,
at his residence in Brookine, near Boston, Of the
Hon. Theodore Lyman. Mr.. Lyman had enjoyed
many Offices Of trust and confidence in that city
He was mayor during the years 1894 and 1895, and
has represented the city in both branches Of the
Legislature. To most Of the public charities he
gave his jealous support, particularly to the Farm
School, Of which institution he was president at
the time Of his decease. He was also president Of
the Prison Discipline Society. To the poor he was
true friend. It may be said with confidence that
no public man in Boston ever enjoyed larger
share Of popularity than Mr. Lyman.

aside the will of the late Mr.. Phillips, who left
100000 TO Harvard College, and nearly half a
million to cousin, passing over nearer heirs, was
decided yesterday by verdict sustaining the will
on all thepoints at issue. Mr.. Choate, for the APP
pelees, made brilliant effort on the winning side.
The judges charge was favorable TO the will. Ex-
ceptions taken by the appellants in the suit to
the competency of the witnesses to the WILL and TO
the testimony of Mr.. Quincy-questions which
will be decided by full bench The lawyers on
both sides viii have fat pickings out Of this case

The Kingston pamaica) Herald of the 18th June
gives an account Of the recent troubles in Hayn
The brigantine Ant, arrived on the previous day,
reported that the man of-war brig Hound had
arrived at Aux Cages, with Ximenes, ex-President
of Spanish Hayti, who had been forced to leave
the island by the Indignation of the people at his
reported misconduct in the battle which secured the
ascendency of Soulouque. He is charged with
reasonable conduct in retreating uniformly from
Soulouque, while with the same forces his success
sor, Santa Anna, has driven the French forces be-
fore him. Ximenes purposed establishing himself
in Jamaica, which seems likely to become the asy
lum of exiled presidents and generals.
The Mexican Santa Anna was, it was thought,
certainly about to leave the island.

A person named Houghton, of Boston, Massa-
chusetts, has recently made bequest of $4,000 to
the city for the purpose of erecting schoo-house
on the following strange condition: " that none of
the descendants of nine persons whom he named
in his will should have the privilege of attending
the school, until after the lapse of a century"
The legality of the acceptance of the beques under
the limitation specified, seems very questionable.

The following letter was addressed by Mr.. Clay
to the advocates of Free Soil, in reply to the nvi
taton to participate in their celebration Of the ami
versary of the passage of the ordinance of 1887:
"AsHLAND, June l6, IS49.

behalf of the Freemen Of the Reserve, inviting me
to unite with them, at Cleveland in celebrating the
anniversary of the passage of the Ordinance of
1887, on the 18th of July next. concur entirely
in opinion as to the wisdom of that great measure,
and am glad that it has secured to the States on
which it operates an exemption from the evils Of
slavery. But the event of the passage of the or
dinance has never, within my knowledge, been eel
ebrated in any one of the sxty-one years which
have since intervened II is proposed for the first
time to commemorate it. 1t is impossible to dis
guise the conviction that this purpose originates out
of the question, now unfortunately agitating the
whole Union, Of the introduction of slavery into
New Mexico and California. While no one can
be more opposed than i am to the extension
of slavery into those new Territories either by the
authority Of Congress by individual enterprise,
should be unwilling to do any thing to increase
the prevailing excitement ! hope that the ques-
ton will be met in spirit of calmness and candor
and finally settled in manner to add strength and
stability, instead of bringing any danger, TO the ex-
istence of our Union. In all our differences Of opn-
ion, we should never cease to remember that we
are fellow-citizens of one common and glorious
country, nor to exercise mutual and friendly for.

The Richmond Wing states that on the 18th an
entire crop of wheat was sold to Mr.. BRAGG at the
handsome price off Is.
Milling operations have, thus far, been unusual
ly backward. The dread of cholera has deferred
farmers from coming to the city, and besides, there
has been general relaxation in business opera
tons among the farmers generally. This state of
things, as the cholera disappears, will of course
cease TO exist
