We notice that most of the leading papers
which support Douglas and johnson are stu
diously kept out of circulation in this State,
and especially is this the case so far as the
Post Otlice Department is concerned. We
occasionally get few copies by Express. Up
to the present time, no campaign documents
favorable to Douglas have reached Oregon
from the Executive Committee, although we
learn that thousands had been sent to us.
The State is literally flooded with both Re

must tie collision in this matter among Post
Office officials. Not a copy of the cficial

A STRANGE SroW-The New York Leader
is positive of the fact that Hicks, who was
recently hung in New York for piracy, has
been resucitated and still lives. That paper
says:
There is now no further use in concealing
that Albert w. Hicks, who was ostensi5ly
executed for piracy on Bedloes Island, on
the 18th July. is still living, though iii dan.
gerous state, but likely to recover the full
use of his faculties and limbs. The sight of
his left eye is gone, and his left arm and left
leg continue paralyzed; but apart from these
injuries he would appear to have suffered
nothing, and his residence at his sisters house
III PoughkeePsie has proved every way ben
efcial
1t will be remembered that much comment
was excited by the utterly fearless manner in
which Hicks conducted himself previous to
his execution. He laughed at the idea of
the gallowe, and was anxious, as he repeated
ly said, to have "things conducted according
to agreement" In this agreement it is now
believed that prominent federal officer had
part; and it is on record in the daily papers
that he was present AZ the execution, wear
ing his Deputy Marshals badge. although no
longer in the Marshal's force
1t was also remarked at the time that Hicks
was only pulled up distance of two and a
half feet-utterly insufficient to break his
neck; and that he was only allowed to re-
main thirty minutes hanging He was then
cut down and pronounced dead nfter which
his body was Immediately handed over to the
care of Doctors j. T. Bull and Henry d.
OReiey, of Brooklyn. These gentlemen
are responsible for his resurrection, and the
electro-chemical bath, invented by Professor
