Nh. Fitch. says-fhe Repubhcans who
voted for Palm for Justice, would not have
voted for him had he been a candidate for
any County Office Why would they
not? In what respect docs the Republican
nominee for a County Office have any better
claim upon Republicans of the county, than
the Republican nominee for a township Of
fee has upon the Republicans of the town
ship? Is the Office of Justice Of the Peace
in this township with its many decisions
upon civil and criminal cases, and its en-
oluments of six hundred toa thousand dol
lars per year, of less consequence than the
Office of Countj Coroner. the holder of which

one side was concerned, but how was it
with the Democrats? Politics was involved,
with them, for We venture to say that not
one single Democrat voted for Mr.. Soule.
We are sorry to say it, but the truth is,
the Republicans of this township were hood
winked, and were as fairly led by the nose,
by their shrcwder opponents, as arc the
bullocks which have a ring and cord attach
ed to their nasal appendages on County
Fair days.

THE EXECUTIONS.

Execution OF THE NEGRoEs.-Thc
negroes Shields, Green and John Copeland
were hung on Friday at IL o'clock, the cx-
c:ution being witnessed by 1000 persons.
At nine o'clock this morning the field
was occupied by the troops, and at seven
minutes past eleven o'clock the procession
made its appearance.
1t arrived at IL o'clock at the scaffold.
The prisoners were in a wagon accompanied
by the Sheriff and Jailor. They mounted
the scafold with a firm step. The prison
crs had the cap paced over their heads by
the Sheriff and after appropriate prayer by
Rev. Mr.. North of the Presbyterian Church
they were lunchc1 into eternity. Before
the rope was cut, Green was heard to offer
up 4 fervent prayer. Copeland was not
heard to pay.
EXECUTION OF Cook AND CoPPIC.-Thc
bodies of the negro prisoners having been
brought back to the jail at about a quarter
to - o'clock this P. NJ, notice was given
to Cook and Coppic that their time was up
preaching, only one hour more being allow
ed them. The military movements, similar
! to those at the first execution. We're repeat
cd, and a wagon with two more collins was
standing at the door of the Jail. At half
past II o'clock the sam military escort
was in readiness. Meantime the closing
religious ceremonies were progressing in
the cell. Since the failure of the attempt
of Cook and Coppic to escape last night,
their assumed composure and apparent res
i%gnation had given way. and they now
looked at the reality of their fate with the
full conviction of its awful certainty.-
They were reserved and rather quiet, and
joined with fervor in the religious ccremo-
MES conducted BY the Rev. Messrs. North,
Lepcr and Waugh. When called upon by
the Sheriff they stood calm and quietly
whilst their arms were being pinioned, and
after bidding farewell to the guards of the
jail, were helped into the wagon and took
seats on the collins. Their appearance was
rather that of hopeless despair than of res
ignation. They seemed to take. but little
notice of anything as the possession slowly
moved on to the field of death. The wagon
reached the scaffold at thirteen minutes be-
fore l o'clock, and the prisoners assembled
with a determined frmness scarcely sur
passed by that of Capt. Brown.
A brief prayer was offered up by one Of
the clergy, the ropes were adjusted, the
caps drawn over their heads and both were
launched into eternity in seven minutes
after they assembled the gallows. They
both exhibited the most unfinching firm
ness. saying nothing with the exception of
bidding farewell to the ministers and sher-
if. After the rope was adjusted about
Cooks neck he exclaimed-''Bc quick, as
quick as possible After hanging 80
minutes both bodies were taken down and
placed in black walnut collins enclosed in
poplar boxes. That of Cooks was labeled
as follows. "Ashbell Z. Willard and Robt.

eF: lFirst the Mahoning organ of the Demo-

The Harper's Ferry Prisoners, Attempt
of Cook and Coppic to escape-Exe
cution of ALI,

cntlon OF ALI.
Cook and COppic, the two white prisoners,
made a desperate attempt to escape from
the prison at Charleston on the evening of
the 18th (the night before their execut1On)
which very nearly proved successful. The
Tclcgraphic report to the Cleveland press
says:
The sentinel stationed near the Jail re-
ported that at quarter past eight O'clock he
observed a man on the jail wall whom he
challenged, and receiving no answer he
fired at him. The head of another man
was also seen above the wall. but he returned
as soon as the first one had been fired at
The man on the top of the wall seemed at
first determined to resist, and was about
making an attempt to jumpdown when the
sentinel declared his intention of impaling
him on his bayouct. He then returned Is
to the Jail yard with COppic and both gave
themselves up without further resistance
Cook afterwards remarked that if he could
have got over and throttled the guard he
would have made his escape. The Shenan-
doah mountains are within ten minutes run
of the jail wall, and had he reached them,
with his thorough knowledge of the noun
tains, his arrest would have been difficult,
especially as but few of the military could
have followed him during the night. They
had succeeded after two weeks labor, when
ever alone, and at night when their bed
clothing mufied the sounds of the saw
which they had made out of an old barlow
knife, in cutting through their iron shack
les, so hat they could put them off at any
moment they should have their work CON-
plctcd-
They had also made 4 sort of chiscl out
of an old bed screw, with which they sue
ceeded, as opportunity would offer, in re-
moving the plaster from the wall, and then
brick after brick until a space sufficient for
them to pass through was opened, all except
the removal of some outer brick. The
part of the wall on which they operated
was in the rear of the beds on which they
slept, and the bed being pushed against the
wall completely hid their work from view.
The bricks which they took out were con-
cealed in the drum of a stove and the dirt
or plaster removed in the course of their
work was placed between the bed clothes.
They Acknowledged that they had been
at work a week in making the aperture in
the wall, their cell being on first floor the
aperture wa not more than five feet from
the pavement of the yard and when freed
of their shacklcs their access to the yard
was but a smooth brick wall about -
feet high, to scale this the timbers Of
the scaifold on which Brown was hung they
placed against tie wall and succeeded in
reaching the top, from which they could
have easily dropped to the outer side had
not the vigilance of the sentinel on duty SO
quickly checked their movements.
They were arrested in the yard by Gen.
Talliferro and an officer of the day who
rushed to the yard the moment alarm was
given.

The Justices Election.

from the charge of failing to do their whole

his capacity to perform the duties of the
office to which he has been elected; and no
one blames him, or his political friends for

But it should not be forgotten that Mr..
