State in the whole Union that ought to have
been favorably considered in the composition Of
the Cabinet, that State is TENNESSEE Gallant

no fault with the talent aud responsibility of the

AN INNOCENT Moro ExEcUTED,-At the time
Of the trial Of the negro Cyphus, before the
Criminal Court, for the alleged murder oil ne
gro named VIM. King, on Cider alley, near
Schroeder street, some two years since, a witness
(Strgt. Hough) appeared upon the stand and
affirmed that he was in possession of Information
that warranted him in declaring the negro Cypbus
innocent Of the charge Of which he was accused.
lie was unfortunately the only witness to this
end, and the proof being otherwise conclusive,
the negro was executed. Mr.. Hough has sub
sequenty reiterated his belief, and we may say
knowledge of the negroes innocence unfit it has
to him and his friends become a subject of pain
full recapitulatiOu. Truth, however, sooner or
later will out, and so it has in this instance, as
will APPEAR by the death on Sunday night inst
of negro named George Orem, who expired at
house in Union street. This creature while
lingering between life and death, protested that
Cyphus was innocent Of the horrible crime for
which he was hung, aud that he (Orem) was the
party inAicting the fatal wound. The confession
has created considerable excitement in the local
ity, and is believed to be the true condition of
