The Prisoners at Charlestown Va.-Prepara-
ton for the Execution.

CHARLEsTowN VA, Dec. 14-The town is
filling up with strangers, to witness the execu-
tons which are to take place on Friday. The
system of excluding citizens, adopted at John
Browns execution, is not to be repeated Gov.
Willard Of Indiana, accompanied by Mrs
Crowley, sister of Cook, and Hon. d. H. Voor
HES, Attorney General of Indiana, arrived
yesterday and visited Cook. The interview
with his sister was most affecting. Later in
the day, DIR. Staunton and wife, of Indiana,
and Miss Hughes, arrived. Mrs. Staunton is
a sister of Cook, and Miss Hughes cousin
They also visited the prisoner, presenting a
scene of grief AMI anguish impossible to de-
scribe
They promised to see him again, but through
the advice of Gov. Willard, they wrote him
few farewell lines, and all the ladies then left
for their homes, the male relatives designing
to remain with him to the last Arrange
ments have been made to have the body of
Cook taken to New York for burial
Some Of the relatives of Coppic are expect
ed to arrive to-day His body will be taken to
his mother at Springdale, Iowa. The bodies
of Green and Copeland, it is thought will not
be claimed. If not, they will be decently in
tered near the gallows. The prisoners were
quite cheerful this morning, and are now max
ing religious preparations for DEATH Cook
was much cast down after parting with his
sisters, but is now perfectly calm and collected
awaiting his doom.

Why did not the Tammany managers nominate
men of their own, like Fowler, or Kennedy, Tor
Mayor-both of whom wanted it-and Devlin or
Brady for Corporation Counsel, either OF whom
would have been too happy to take it
Because they were afraid of being beaten. Be
cause they were afraid Of Wood.
They felt that unless they could seduce or fright
en- the Republicans and Americans to their support,
they were lost The need was great; their CEN
dtion was desperate. They took Hayemeyer and
Tilden.
1t was bold experiment on the public creduhty,
but in their terror it was perhaps the best they
could do. 1t has signaly failed. 1t has alenated
men of their own faction, while the Republicans
and Americans have not been seduced or frightened
by it. They will vote for Opdyke, Candidate oil
their own selection. As one eminent Tammany
man sadly said to another last evening, tell you
I" il is the beginning of the end with u.s. The old
incumbents Of city Offices are going out; and
George Opdyke and his colleagues are coming IN.

Many "job' has got swift currency through
Democratic Board Of Aldermen, from The OPINION
of Corporation Counsel that it was legal. The
use OF this important municipal officer has ire
quently BEEN to give the color of right 10 the most
fragrant wrongs, and to invest robbery and pecula-
tons with the attributes of Law and Justice. III
is of the highest Importance to The PrOperty-owners
of New.York that q safe and reliable Corporation
Counsel be elected-a man who will not sell his
opinions in behalf of any Aldermonlc plumber,
and whose practical good sense in the conduct oil
municipal business, and ready and sound knowledge
of law, can always be relied on. Such man Is
Solomon l.. Hull. The personal attacks made
upon him as young and an unknown man, have
led to so much publicity of his professional business
and connections, that tho taxpayers OF New-fork
know that many of the most careful and wealthy
merchants in the city commit their interests to his
hands. This is test that practical men appreci-
ate. 1t means something. II can be relied on
The LAWYER who would be deliberately selected BY
some of the best merchants of New York as their
adviser and agent is a safe man to counsel Cor
poration. Any political party may be content
with such an Endorsement OF its candidate for a
legal Office.

The canvass preliminary to the city election
nett Tuesday says the Stats ZeitHag, " is ear
RED on with zeal, warmth and energy, which
are seldom seen even in Presidential election"
This is perfectly true. We have never known the
citizens of New.York more truly alive to the In
ierests depending upon the result Of an election
than they are at this moment. Never was more
energy, never more industry displayed, never was
there a prospect of a fuller vote being brought out
But truth compes US to add that this ardor. and
resolution are found mainly among the supporters
of Wood and the supporters of Opdyke. The friends
of Hayemeyer are discouraged and almost hopeless.
The meeting OF Thursday, at the Exchange, was a
fixture. The attempt to bring the Republicans and
Americans TO the support of the Tammany candi-
date is palpable failure. But among the Opdyke
men all is hope and courage, They feel it in their
own breasts, and in the temper Of the public mind,
that they are going to beat Wood and Tammany
both

Our telegraphic dispatches give the particulars
of the execution of John Brown at Charlestown
yesterday. The military were in at the death in
full force, presenting an appearance never before
witnessed in this country. The farce of conveying
Brown to the gallows in cart or wagon was gone
through with, but he was not swung from IT. He
ascended the scaffold with firm manly step, and
bidding the officers Of the law farewell, ne was

On Thursday, his wife visited him at the jail re-

very interesting account of this interview.

Who is George Opdyke! man in the fullness
of his physical and intellectual strength. citizen
in business here twenty five years without stain or
reproach. A politician who has done tho State
service in Council.
Who is William +. Hayemeyer' A man 70years
old-not active enough for Mayor. A man sur
rounded by desperate politicians, nominated by
Empire Club heroes, broken down apostates, and
all manner Of unclean things including John Coch-
rane, who said the devil ought to be elected to
Office if regularly nominated; Purdy Pewter-mug-
man, who with profane Bell & Co. committed the
great registry fraud, and kindred crowd Of des-
peradoes.
Who is Fernando Wood An ex-grog-shop
keeper. condemned almost before Criminal Court
and before u Civil one, for a $4,000 transaction
with sundry delicate and doubtful writings ofaH ex-
qusitey artistic character. A demsgogue in Office
who would have covered the Park with corpses had
not the faithful military filed his soul with terror
Surrounded with rowdies, prize-6ghters, and the
concrete indecency and violence of the city, Wood

The public should understand that the Dir. An
thon, who spoke for Havemeyer and Tammany At
the Exchange on Wednesday, was not William
ii. Anthem but John ii. Anthem, late Tammasy
member of the Assembly, and never Republican
in his life. The error arose from wrong niorma-
ton being given to our reporter at the meeting.
1t is scarcely necessary TO say that Mr.. William H.
Anthem is true in his allegiance 10 Republican prin
cples, and is doing bis best toward the election Of
Opdyke. Sc is every genuine Republican in the
city. Only three or four we,kheaded and deluded
fellows appear to have been led into the contami-
mating alliance of Tammany Hall and the authors
of the Fifth avenue manifesto.

Because we notice the fact that Cyrus W. Field
and William Kent have left the Republican party to
ally themselves with TammaDy Hall and the Fifth
avenue slanderers of the Republicans, The ~ Y.
Times charges US with abusing those gentlemen and
with attempting to interfere with their political n
dependence. Nonsense Are Mr. Field and Mr..
Kent so much ashamed Of their act that they wish
TO have it kept from public notoriety as The Tines
would seem to iInply1 Or do they expect that
when they thus deliberately abandon their old asso-
ciates and league themselves with those who hate
and abuse them, they can still maintain political
relationships with those they have left ? The ~ T.

The amateur TammaDy men who performed at
the Exchange on Thursday, having succeeded 30
badly, the regular stock company viii appear for
the last time during the present season at the
Cooper Institute this evening Enormous exer-
tions have been made to pack the house, and to
show an audience equal to that of Woods meeting
of Monday, and that of the Republican crusber of
Thursday. The programme of this evening will
probably include great deal less of soft sawder
for the other parties, and great deal more of what
is calculated to keep their own party in the traces.
Let them stick to the business Of proving that
Havemeyer is a good Democrat, and not Free
Soiler, and that he paid his money for Buchanan,
and didn't vote for Fremont This will prove
much more useful than the endeayor to entrap Re
publicans. They won't DO entrapped.

The advocates of Tsmmany Hall and Hayemeyer
braQ pretty well, though more and more family, but
avoid all reference TO figures, save those Of some
remote period. Thus The N. Y. Times the other
day had long screed on the arithmetieal state OF
the Ma,oralty canvass in 1856, but it has not yet
renured TO face the figures Of 1889 1t has not ex-
