EXECUTION OF THE NEGROES
. GREEN AND COPELAND.
CMARLnarnMN. Dec. lG.

AhAhLhSToWN, lee. 10 1901.
The military formed hollow square around
the gallows the same as when Brown was hung.
There are n great many more strangers pres
ent than at the execution of the I'd inst, but
were kept at respectful distance by the SOL
diers.
Green and Copeland were brought to the
gallows in light wagon-riding on their
collins
Green made aprayerof few minutes. Cope
land assumed a logged sullenness and said
nothing. When the drop fell Green's neck was
broken and he died without shudder 1t is
supposed that Copeland's neck did not break /;
he kicked great deal. The drop fell at pre-
cisely II o'clock. After hanging about thirty
minutes the bodies were cut down and taken
back to Jail for burial
Cook and Coppie will be executed about half
past one o'clock.
There is no excitement-all quiet.

EXECUTION OF
COOK, COPPIE, GREEN AND COPE
LAND.

Extensive preparations were made for the
execution. The military guarded every cross
roads, and parties were patrolling the sur
rounding country. The citizens were prevent
ed passing from one part of the town to an
other, unless they gave the countersign. The
military discipline was kept up as il the town
were encompassed by besieging army.
The town is rapidly filling up with strangers
to witness the approaching execution. The
system of excluding citizens, adopted on the
occasion of Browns execution, is not to be re-
pe,ted.
Gov. Willard, of Indiana accompanied by
Mrs. Crowly, of New York, the sister of Cook,
and Hon. d. H. Voorhees,, Attorney General of
Indiana, arrived here yesterday and visited
Cook. The interview with his sister was most
affecting. Later in the day, Dr. Staunton and
his wife, of Indiana, and Miss Hughes, arrived.
Mrs. Stanton is sister of Cook, and Miss
Hughes cousin. They also visited the pris-
oners, presenting scene of grief and anguish
scarcely to be described They all promised
to see him again, but through the advice of
Gov. Willard, each wrote him few farewell
lines, and all the ladies left for their homes,
the male relatives designing to remain with
him to the last. Arrangements have been
made to have the body of Cook taken to New
York for interment.
Some of Copies relatives are expected to
arrive to-day. His body will be sent to his
mother at Spring Dale Iowa.
The bodies of Green and Copeland, it is
thought will not be claimed and will be de-
Gently inferred near the gallows. The prison.
ers this morning were cheerful and making re-
ligiOus preparations for DEATH
Cook was much cast down after parting
with his sisters, but is now calm collected
awaiting his doom.

ESCAPE OF COOK AND COPPIE.
Their Re-Capture.

CHARLEsTowS, Dec. l5.-At half-past eight
o'clock this evening two of the condemned
prisoners, Cook and Ooppie escaped from the
jail, and were fred upon by the sentinels and
driven back to the prison. They are now in
the custody of Sheriff Campbell.
The prisoners had mounted the Jail wall
when they were discovered by the sentinel on
the outside, who Immediately gave the ALARM
and fred upon them. They had sawed their
manacles asunder with the blade of Barlow
knife, which they had concealed and made into
a fine saw.
1t is ascertained from their confession that
they have been engaged in preparing for their
escape for the last ten days. They made hole
in the wall near the window, which they con-
cealed with paper, hiding the bricks they re-
moved under the bed.
Upon the alarm being given. they made no
resistance, but surrendered as soon rs they dis
covered by the shot of the sentinel that they
were detected.

TIE NEXT PREsIDEScY.-The whole country
fore the country for the Presidency. A great
many prominent politicians have worn their
prospects threadbare, and many others have
oyerdone patriotism to such an extent as to
place their chances far in the back ground
Some have bowed and scraped to public preiu-
dices to such an extent that they have utterly
swamped and others have set themselves so
high upon their dignity that the people can
never reach them. The whole matter has re-
solved itself into this fact that men who have
been making business of feeding at the pub
lie crib so long, will have to stand back and
let new set try their hand, Politics is a mo-
ney making business, if properly followed.
Those who have held the office of Indian Agent,
or had anything to do with government
contracts have become rich These kind of
men should be thrown overheard, and new
ones placed upon the track. There are
men talked Of in connection with the next
Presidency who should be carefully laid upon
the SHELF with 10 distinct understanding that
in the future they were to remain there for
ever. We want new men to hold the offices
and administer the affairs of the government.
1t would be preferable for them to be middle
aged-neither too old to keep up with the pro-
gress of events, nor too young to be rash. We
want men in the vigor of life-not old dotards

the community is john G. BRECKENRIDGE, of

Execution of Cook and coppie.

CuARLssrowN, Dec. 10, 3 o'clock, p. NJ.
Cook and Coppie rode to the scatIold upon
their cofiiHs.
They mounted the scatIold withza firm step
and appeared very much composed At 10
minutes past ono o'clock the drop fell and they
expired almost without a struggle.
Neither of them made speeches. They hung,
as usual, about 30 minutes and were cut down,
The military force was fully as large as at
the execution of Brown.
Everything passed off quietly.
Thus the great tragedy of the Iarper's Ferry
instruction has been played out, and the prin-
cpal actors expiated their crimes upon the gal
lows

PosTMAsTgRs.-We hear continual COM
plants that our paper does not arrive at the
place of destination. We are sorry for this,
for we take great deal of pains to put up our
mail right. All we have to say is that wher-
ever you find decent Postmaster you will get
your paper right; that is the criterion we
judge them by. We know we send them, and
we know, also that some people interest them
selves in the endeavor to suppress the paper
and destroy its usefulness. This is the last
time we are going to give these respectable
gentlemen friendly notice. We will try
another string next. We have no complaints
to make against the Wilmington office, for we
know that the officials do their duty there, but
we intend raising the elements about some of
the P. Ms heads before long, if this conduct is
continued. We think a little change in the Post
Office department would be highly beneficial
in some quarters. Our subscribers throughout
the country will confer favor to write and let
US know when their papers miss, SO that we
may be able to have the matter rectfed Be
sure ysu don't let the Postmaster of your
town know what your letter contains or it may
be that it will never find its way to u.s. The
espionage of Buchanan administration is only
equalled by that of Louis Napoleon's. We
have felt it severely in establishing the ISQUI-
Der. But we are happy to say that the efforts
of the narrow-minded bipeds who compose
these would-be-tyrants, have not prevailed
We receive patronage from no political party
or faction. Every political clique patronizes
its own particular organ-consequently the
IseuRRR has to paddle its canoe against the
current. But withal, we rejoice over one
thing; we are the tool of no dynasty present
or prospective. We expect to live to see the
day when the Independent Democracy
will rise from among the cormorants who now
hold the high places and assert their in
dependence. When the rights of man are vim
Dictated by the Democratic party, and the love
Of office has been laid aside for patriotism, the
INQUIRER will he the organ of party that
need not be ashamed or afraid to stand before
the world and proclaim its principles. Until
that event occurs, we will move our column
onward like the snow ball, increasing as we
CO. until we have an influence that will cause
trembling in high places. We shall try our
hand upon few Postmasters pretty soon If
they continue to rob the mail There is one
thing certain we will make the Postmaster say
whether he approves it OR not.

CURTIS LECTURE AND THE PUBLIC ExcfTE-
MENT.-The announcement that Mr.. G. w. Cur
It's would deliver, in National Hail. last even
ing, his lecture on the "Present aspect of Sla-
very" aroused great deal of excitement in
the public mind, and a meeting was called d-
rectly opposite to the National Hall, the intcn-
tion of which, it was believed, was to prevent
the lecture being delivered. At the hour APP
pointed some hundreds of persons attended the
lecture, and some thousands attended the out
side meeting. The Mayor very properly had
strong police force to preserve order There
was no attempt on the part of the police to in
terfere with&ither assembly. They were there
only to act as the public peace required. The
crowd outside continued to grow until there
was an immense gathering. Some attempts
were made to address the street assemblage,
but the speakers were not fortunate in being
heard. The crowd was very noisy but very
good-humored. They expressed their feelings
in cheers, groans yells and hootings, principally
at the unfortunate attempt Of some ambitious
speaker to maintain his position on the awning
post. The strong police evidently kept the
crowd in restraint till the lecture was over
when soon after all dispersed The public mind
is evidently much excited with the inconsider-
ate and absurd rawlings which attempt to con-
found all ideas Of public morals by extolling a
murderer and an insurrectionist as a public
hero and martyr.

UNION MEETNGs.-In various parts of the
North, Union meetings have beeu held, at
which patriotic sentiments have been express
sed, and a disposition shown to maintain the
Union and foster that friendly feeling that has
always characterized the people of this COM
munity. The cry of dsunion may ring from
one end of these States to the other, but there
is no feeling abroad among the people that
would sanction the seyering of these States.
Politicians may pirate, old women and fanatics,
who like the priests of India, make business
of humbugging the people, may preach diseord,
but the yeoman, who earns his bread by the
sweat of his brow, when he looks upon the
happiness of. his family circle, will rise up in
mutiny against the suicidal policy that would
destroy our social system. In feeling there is
no North no South among the people the pol
iticians who live and fatten upon the broils of
the country, cannot convince the working men
that our government is a failure. There is too
much intelligence and independence abroad in
the land, to drive such stuff down the throats
Of II people who are as well acquainted with
There are thousands of politicians in this
country, whose vitality depends upon confu-
sion and discord. The patronage they have
to dispense buys a legion of newspaper editors
who retail their poisons about the family
hearth Youths barely able to distinguish
right from wrong, drink in the potion and fan
cy it is patriotism 1t is not till age brings
mature reflection and the power to analyze this
poison, that reason throws off the halucnation
and man stands forth conservative being.
These Union meetings are the result of the
zens they are the outpouring of that friendly
feeling that should exist between the people of
this, our common country. Considering the
peace, the liberty, the happiness and good
government we now enjoy and being willing
TO make any kind of sacrifice to perpetuate
it, we think that the emergency of the case
demands that the first man who seriously adj
yocates the dissolution of this Union should
be hung as high as Haman. The emergency
of the ease demands such course as certainly
as the peace and safety of Virginia required
the hanging of John Brown. The only differ
ence is, the safety of the South required the
execution Of Brown; the peace, the happiness
and prosperity of the whole Union requires
that traitors should be hanged. Let the Amer
lean people weigh well this matter, and not be
led into excuses by these patent broi makers.

BRUTAL RUFFIAs ARREsTED.-0n the 9Th Of
October last, the wife OF Robert B. Roosevelt,
lawyer of New York city was riding along in
u one horse wagon, near Palham Bridge, West
chester county, n Y, when she was attacked
by fellow who struck her on the head with
club, and followed her for some distance, beat
ing her dreadfully. She was found senseless
in the wagon soon afterwards, and taken home.
Her husband at once put the matter into the
hands of detectives, who have since followed
up the matter, and on Thursday last, arrested
a suspicious character named Charles Smith,
in New Rochelle, whom they took to the jail at
White Plains. The fellow was identified by
Mrs. Roosevelt, and was fully committed for
