ExEcUTIoN.--Thomas Connor, convicted at
Baltimore of the murder of Captain Hutchinson,
expiated his offence on the gallows, in that city,
yesterday. He expressed penitence for his crime,
and a hope in the mercy of God. Three or four
hundred persons only were admitted to the Jail
yard, where the execution took place, but the
scene was beheld by thousands on the neighbor-
ing hills which overlook that locality. A revolt
ing spectacle was witnessed when the young man
swung off, by the rope breaking in two places.
The prisoner eagerly assembled the scaffold a
second time and finally passed into eternity.

ARKANSAS SENAToR.--Governor Conway has
appointed Hon. Robert johnson Senator from
Arkansas, vice Hon. Scion Borland, whose place
has been vacated by his acceptance of the mission
to Central America. We do not pretend to take
any part in, or to have any sympathies on the one
side or the other of the very unique state of per-
sonal politics in our sister State over the river
Our best wishes are with the small but brave and
tried band of Wings who, amidst perverse gem
Grafton, upheld the good old banner to which the
country must rally in all times Of real peril for
safety from the effects of the wild and headlong
isms which make up tho Democratic party. -
But it cannot be regarded departure from our
resolute determination to take no sides in the war
of factions, to say that no appointment could have
been made which would have brought more of
the elements of personal popularity to the aid of
public duties. 'sBob Johnson" is one of the kind
of men who win the good feelings of those they
are associated with, in spite of themselves. You
can't help but like him, and feel disposed to
obligc him. 1t is great aid to public men, fire.
qucntly more effective in the achievement of
desired ends than intellectual abity--of which,
however, Mr.. Johnson has a very respectable
share. If his industry equals his power to win
men, he will make very useful Senator.

PURsuIT OF THE DESPERATE KELLEY The
New Haven Journal gives report, under the
date of Monday evening, from Meriden, of Wig
orous search and pursuit which had been made in
the vicinity of that town of man named KEEL
ley, one of the supposed Waterbury murderers
He was discovered at IL clock on the preceding
night in part of the town called dublin, y and
an attempt was made to arrest him. He, howev-
er, made his escape, but was pursued. One Of his
pursuers called on him to stop, and fired at him.
Kelley returned the fire, and was again fred at;
and, from his arm being seen to fall and dangle
by his side, it was supposed he was wounded. He
however escaped to dense swamp, which was
Immediately surrounded, it was said, by several
hundred people, and the search was continued
through the next day, extending to the neighbor-
ing mountain, but without success. The search
was to be continued. 1t was reported on Monday

DEAR SIR: In the New York Herald of yester-
day perceive from Havana correspondent that
papers were granted by the Mexican Consul at
Havana to ship called the Mary, or Martina,
in which the Mexican Consul processes to have
acted on a certificate of the American Consul at
Havana. This whole matter is mystery to me,
and would be pleased to know whether any com
muncation on the subject has been received at the
Department from my consular agent at Havana;
and if there are any such communications, may ]
ask to be furnished with copies
Respectfully, your obedent servant,

The Recent elections.

We infer from the results of the elections in
Kentucky and Missouri that party allegiance
is not SO stringent, nor party divisions so rigid
ly defined, as they have heretofore been.
There is little doubt but that the Executive
appointment Of such Freesoilers as Mr.. DIX
and VIM. j. BRowN has had an important eff
feet upon the formation of public opinion in a
State where the Presidential candidate of the
Wings was impeached for his intention to COM
init the same error. This may have operated
particularly in the Louisville district, where
the majority Of Mr.. PREsroN is largely in
creased. Governor LErcHER was beaten in
the Clay district by an able, eloquent, and pop
ular competitor; one against whom no partisan
Prejudices could we suppose have operated,
since in the eulogies pronounced by him up
on the memory of Mr.. CLAY, he manifested
an appreciation of his virtues and services
which must have disarmed any such feeling.
Besides, we observe Governor LErcHER was
held responsible for certain speeches made in
Indiana and Illinois which were said to be not
80 southern as they might have been. We be-
lieve there is no truer son of the South than Mr..
LETcHER; but any of those imputations which
in an extended political career must attach to
the purest public servant, may have affected
his popularity. He was moreover physically
infrm, had been absent for some years from
Kentucky. and was confronted, as we have
said, by formidable competitor fresh from the
people.
The result in the Stanton district must have
been influenced by the singular admissions Of
the recent letters which were published
throughout the district of that gentleman.
If this has had any effect upon the result it
would indicate salutary state Of public morals
in which public virtue was preferred to polit-
cal obligations.
In Missouri the elections seem to have
turned upon analogous issues. The Gar
Of Missouri has his rebellous subjects, and
they resist his DEGREES with desperation that
disregards all consequences. We may, how
ever, postpone any further observations until
the answers are all in from Tennessee and
North Carolina. We may then have material
for further philosophy upon the subject,

HAVANA, July 70, 1898.
SIR: Your communication of the 9th instant,
with the accompanying documents from the Mex
lean Consulate here, have been received and their
contents duly noted.
In answer to your queries respecting letter,
any other authority from Judge Sharkey the
late Consul, authorizing the transfer of the ship
Mary, William Smith, master, have to say that
have carefully examined the records of this of
flee and find no mention made of such a ship, or
any thing abiding to or having reference to her,
or any of the parties named in the papers emanat-
ing from the office of the Mexican Consul at Ha
vana.
From the examination of these papers, the
whole transaction, it would seem, has begun and
ended in fraud; for, if the Mexican Consul had
produced to him a communication from Consul
Sharkey, it would, it must, have been forged
document But even if so, it appears to me that
the document ought to be of record in the Next
can Consuls archives; for, how could the Mexi-
can Consul have given register, and mentioned
that he had that document in his possession, un-
less he had it, or unless he stated gross false
hood in the document issued by him, and which
perceive are all signed by Joaquin Soler, en- Au-
