EXECUTION or JAMES BLOOMFIELD Rusu.-rhs

EXECUTION or JAMES BLOOMFIELD RUsH.-This
il a name, the notoriety of which is not confined
TO the hemisphere in which the individual who bore
il was born and resided. 1t is one which will be
remembered in after years, as that of one of the
greatest demons in human shape that ever walked
the earth bu, one who we are happy to say has
expiated his crimes on the gallows in England
detailed account Of his execution will be found in
another part of to-day spaper.
James Bloomfield Rush has left memorable
name behind him-not as a patriot, phlanthro-
pist or a statesman-not as one who devoted him
sci to benevolent purposes, or to the advancement
of his race-but as a demon, murderer of the
deepest dye-one who, with religion constantly on
h lips, would knee and pray, and then arise and
deliberately axe the life of his fellow man, with
out conjunction or rcmorse. Such was the cha
racter of the fend in human shape whose name
heads this article. With the view OF obtain
ing possession Of farm owned by family
tina, had iostered him, he employed his mis-
tress to forge certain documents. This being
done, he provided himself with mask and,
gun in hand, he prepared to sacrifice every
one of those who stood between him and his
criminal designs. He murdered two-woundcd
two more-was suspected, tried, convicted and
executed. For six long days the trial lasted, and
during that time, the prisoner alone conducted his
defence. One of the persons whom he attempted to
murder, and girl with whom he lived, were two
of the principal witnesses against him. Eliza
Chesney is the name of the first referred to. Her
appearance in Court is thus described by the Lon
don Times
Pale and emacated from the effect Of her wound she
was borne in litter into the court into the
of the man who had directed his murderous weapon
against her life and of those who sitting judges
Of his fate One would have supposed that the cowardy
rufian at the bar would have quailed at such sight,
and felt overpowerng consciousness that his tissue
of ncoherent lies must be scattered to the winds by
her testimony. The simple words That is the -
when she asked who 1t was that had fired on her
at Stantield Hall, the night her masters
dered should have been enough to convince him that
his guilt discovered-that his fate was sealed.
The testimony of the other, Emily Sanford, the
kept mistress, was extremely strong against the
prisoner; and, although she bore such near rela-
ton to the prisoner although he was the father of
her child, she gave her testimony clearly and
honestly. Upon the testimony of those two per-
sons, the demon Rush was convicted, sentenced,
and executed.
We refer our readers to the detailed account
in anotaer column, for the particulars of the
execution, and the hypocrical conduct of the cul-
prt, from the sentence to the last moment of ibis
wretched existence.

IN this line are also in rather dubious and Hue
tuating condition. IL seems that standard Of
value has been discovered for the brother of q
Hibernan patriot, who has just snuffed the air Of
America WE'LL what is the value, by actual weight
and measurement, Of Il great-great grandson, by
the maternal side, of one of the heroes Of '76
That's poser!
II must be extremely consoling to all humane
persons, to find that governors and mayors are
rising in the market Mr. Ex-Governor Young
has incaeased five hundred dollars in value. But
the greatest rise is in mayors for Mr.. ex-Mayor
Brady has nearly doubled in value. He has gone
up enormously. At one bound he has risen fifteen
hundred dollars above our last quotations. Quiet
conference.-the moderudos, maintain former prices.
AS for the poor, miserable devils-the hard-work-
ing wretches, who have done all the business Of
their Offices for years, such as Mr.. Post Office
Clerk Taylor, they have fallen lower than ever
They never did stand high in the market. They
do not understand the sublime grandeur of that
philosophy, which the poet has so felicitously de-
scribed in the famous verse -
"Of all the trades going, begging is the best"
and they deserve to suffer. In fact, they possess
no marketable value. We will watch with great
interest the progress of this new tariff, and keep
our readers advised of the rise and fall of the
market.
