EXECUTION OF HARPER's FERRY INsURREcr1oN1srs
AT CHARLEsTowN.-A despatch from Charestown,
Virginia, 10th inst, says: The town was thronged
with visitors to-day, anxious to witness the execu-
tion Stephens and Hazet. The sentence of the law
was put into effect at noon. Both the condemned
appeared resigned to their fate and exhibited great
hrmness and resignation. Stephens died very
hard, but Hazlett expired without struggle. The
condemned declined all the profered attentions
from the ministry, and there were no religious
ceremonies on the gallows or during their confne-
ment. They were both spiritualists, and have
peculiar religion of their own, which enabled them
to meet their fate with cheerfulness and resignation
Their bodies have been forwarded to the care of
Marcus Spring, South Amboy, New jersey and
will reach Baltimore in the early morning train.
THE DEMocRAr1c CoNvENrIoN-SHALL IT BE HELD
IN BALTIMORE I'VE find the following telegram
from Baltimore in the New York Erening Post of
Saturday:
BALTIMORE, March IA gentleman just from
Washington says that the feeling of the National
Democratic Committee strongly favors having the
National Democratic Convention meet at Balti-
more, as it appears to be impossible for the large
masses of people likely to attend to get accommo-
dations at Charleston, even at most exorbitant
prices. Prominent citizens here offer to furnish
the Maryland Institute and several other large
halls for the Committee Rooms, Delegations, etc.,
free of COST and all the hotels and eating houses
The citizens also, without distinction of party will
throw open their doors for the accommodation of
the vast crowd. As further inducement, the
Baltimore and Ohio road and those connecting
with it from the West will reduce the rates of fare
one-half.
A BILLIARD ToURNAMENT.-Iti is contemplated to
hold billiard tournament in New York, in which
all the professional and amateur players of this and
other countries will have opportunity of show
ing their skill. The scheme was agitated some
time since, and invitations to participate in it sent
to the renowned players in France and England,
and especially to Berger, of Paris and Roberts, of
England; but as these at present declined, it was
given up. Lately, however, Berger has consented
to the Atlantic; and as Roberts will doubtless
be induced to do the same, the original project will
doubtless be carried out. The three champions,
Berger, Roberts and Phelan, all by their re-
spective countrymen considered able to "beat the
world,' and game between such famous players
would be an exciting event.
