CARD OF THE ILLUSTRATED NEWS.
To he Editor of The NJ " Tribune

SIR The special reporter who represented your
journal Charlestown during the last few days OF
John Brown, made, no doubt Internationally, an in
correct statement in regard the representatives of
the press who had any privileges extended 70 them at
that place by saying, Mr.. Leslie alone, having made
" explanations had been admitted to favor" As this
statement is calculated to do us considerable injury
since it must necessarily give rise TO the superstition
that neither nor the propretors Of other pictorial
journals would be in position TO give any but fancy
sketches of the attending the execution, we
TO state through the medium OF your columns, that
our artists met with every favor at Charestown nas-
much as they were provided with documents TO prove
the yery peaceabe purpose they went there for and
that. being enrolled among the military who sur
rounded the scaold they had ample opportunity TO do
al least as much az any Of their brother artists
We remain, gentlemen, yours, very respectfully,

THE DAY OF THE EXECUTION.

A correspondent at Waterford, Pa, gives us the
following report of the proceedings in that place on
the day Of John Browns execution. He says:
AT this moment the bells of this village are tolng
the death-knell Of John Brown. Every one, except
the Democracy, and even many of them, a sad
dened countenance betokenng the deep-settied SYM
brave old man. John Brown was known 10 many of
citizens, having formerly resided within few
miles Of this place, and was known 10 them hon.

ing their teeth this demonstration of respect to
the martyr Of liberty, and have gone far 10
advise the personal insult Of those engaged in them,
and the batterng down of the churches with cannon.
Those bells toling the deathknell Of Slavery
and Democracy. BRUTUs.
"P S 1t i now halfpast IL, and the bells are yet
toling. Some of the sham deacons of the churches,
members of the Sham Democratic party, have become
exceeding wroth at the testimonial and have endeavor
ed to kick open the church doors, with the design OF
expellIng the bell-rngers. They threaten TO hang
Old Brown in efhgy."
A correspondent at MddIetown, CT, says;

The Legislature.

From our Daily of December 20.
In the Senate yesterday, no business of
special Importance was transacted. Mr..
CowAN introduced resolutions in reference
to the recent outbreak at Harper's Ferry,
which lay over under the rules. The Senate
will perform a wise act if it will denounce
JOHN BROWN murderous attempt at servile
Instruction. instead of passing SEWARD
resolutions, such as those to which we made
reference the other day.
In the House, Mr.. STEVENSON gave notice
of bill to prevent County Treasures
specializing in State warrants, and of bill
to prohibit counties from issuing orders as
evidences of debt. The House also resolved
to do without prayers, allowed per cent.
interest on the mileage and per diem certif-
Gates of members, and considered series of
propositions, in the nature of instructions
to the Judiciary Committee, on the subject
of the State Railroad bonds. A bill passed
the House finally, abolishing the Office of
Prosecuting Attorney for the several Judi.
cial districts of the State. The bill will
doubtless pass the Senate.

The Democratic Members.

We are glad to notice on the part of the
Democratic minority in the Legislature, an
earnest and commendable desire to advance
the public business-a trait which does not
seem to find majority of imitators in the
Republican ranks, Judging from the anti.
Slavery, impeachment, and Supreme Court
resolutions introduced by members of that
party, either for buncombe, or to crafty
partizan malignity. The conduct of the
Democracy is the more noticeable, from the
fact that two years since, for upwards of a
month, the Republican minority threw every
obstacle in the way of business they pro-
tested against the election of United States
Senators, and in fact attempted to delay
almost every measure of public interest and
Importance. They won the name of the
protesting party, from the fact that they
daily protested against the despatch of the
Legislative duties incumbent upon the
members.

gramme, we understand, is to refer all meas.
ures proposed by Democrats to committees
where they will be remodelled under Repub'
lican auspices, and in that shape, brought
forward again, and pressed upon members as
Republican measures. This spirit of dis
courteous partnership, has been already
exhibited in the Senate.
We hope the Legislature will do scme-
thing, at an early day, Of sufficient import
ance to indicate to the people Of the State
that their representatives are in session.
Adding seven per cent. interest to their
mileage and per diem certificates, and thus
placing themselves above other creditors Of
the State, has been one of the most notice
able acts of our model, reform, Republican
legislators thus far.
