Horrible Execution,

William Young was hung at New Orleans
on the I'd instant for the murder of Christian
Rhein, child of whom he was the guardian,
and whom his inhuman cruelty consigned to
an untimely grave. The execution was at.
tended by the most revolving ciroumstan ces
One of the accounts says:
The prisoner was led forward by a negro and
the executioner. His step was firm; his face
CHASTITY pale; but no outward sign of emotion
was visible. He appeared, indeed, to be utterly
unconscious Of the terrible doom awaiting
him. He never opened either his lips or his
eyes, even for an instant. His face indicated
q nature depraved, sensual, and obstinate
He wore yellow pants, with a white shirt and
cap Of the Same color The attendant hang
man was grotesquely dressed The face OF
this wretched minion Of the law was concealed
by horrible looking black mask which gave
the CHASTITY ceremonial an sltog ether unneces
sary revolving aspect.
As soon as the sheriff had read the warrant,
the cap was drawn over the face of the cul-
prit, the hangman stepped from the scaffold
to the platform, the rope that sustained il was
severed, and the body Of the murderer dangled
In the air. His fall was partly broken BY q
portion OF the scafiold, which was not reles sed
until the head Of the unhappy man was in
contact whit
II will be remembered that the culprit en-.
deavored to evade the penalty annexed to bis
crime by an act of suicide. He succeeded in
cutting his throat, in most frightful name,

poned few hours longer, he would not have
been hanged at all In order to render an OK.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The Inteitigeneer, of course, dsprecates a
veto OF the French spoliation bill, arguin
earnestly against such an event. 1t will be
remembered that that Journal has always been
an advocate for the payment of those demands
upon the National Treasury. The editor re.
publishes an article against veto from the
columns Of the Sentinel, and sommends its
reasoning Now, We should not again inter
fere In The matter, but for the fact that We zee
evidence around US of a settled disposition to
misrepresent the facts connected with this case
Tor the benefit of the spoliation speculators
We are not ian organ" of the Administration
as the Inteftigsncsr intimates, and, therefor
do not pretend to speak by authority with
reference to the Presidents course in this OF
any other matter. With reference to on.
declaration, made few days ago, that We ex-
pected veto. it will be remembered that in
publishing l., we declared that it was but our
opinion. That opinion was founded on various
facts. Thus. We knew that a large majority Of
the Presidents political friends in Congress are
opposed to the bill, and most anxious for veto
We knew, further, that the President, when
In Congress, steadily set his face against tie
payment Of these unjust demands, and, also
that he holds to the doctrine of the Democratic
party that the veto power was not designed to
be applicable to cases wherein constitutional
questions only are at issue. Or, in other words
that he has always held it to be proper fol
the veto power to be exercised in every case OF
Importance in which its exercise may, in the
judgment Of the Executive, be necessary to
prevent what he believes to be improper ac-
tion on the part of the Government Of the
United States. On the whole, We think it il
rather late tc attempt to stave off . veto of this
bill By newspaper articles.

a Texas bord holder, going s:renuously for
