The President is really worn out and sick, and
begins to feel bis years seriously he Is badgered
numerically, and the practice which be has in-

A decided effort was made this morning to get a
communication of the death sentence OF youth named
Powers to imprisonment for life. Mitigating cir
cumstances were urged; but, though backed by the
Attorney General, Reyerdy Johnson, and other dis
tinguished persons the President gave no answer
this afternoon, and the execution is fixed for to-

only be regarded, came here a few years ago,
promisngsad. Serving as a barkeePer at Que OF
the hotels he soon became initiated into perncIOus
habits and graduated finally in drunken brol, by
committing IA crime which has doomed him to the
gaows. When such awful consequences OF nten-
perance are brought to light, it is not surprising
hat moral sentiment should demand the EXTREMIST
penalties against the sale of intoxicating liquors.
Aristotle commended the laws of Plttacus, by which
drunken men received double punishment Tor their
crimes. If he had lived in these days, he might
have extended full share of the punishment to
those who are responsible for the drunkenness.
