THE CONFUSION OF MuRpxR The comics

newed the doubt In the public mind which pre-
vailed a. to The guilt Of the condemned man

Perate habits before the execution Of cyphus, but
after that time he became dissolute, and rarely
went into the street AFTER night Among those
with whom he associated he exhibited strong

Orem visited his house, but no suspicion rested
against him, and though requested 20 perform
some little service In the preparations for the
funeral, declined on the ground that he was not
WELL and lef the place soon after. On the follow
Ing morning he met one Of his companions, chas.
Anderson, drayman for MIR. O'Donovan, and
on the night before, and that John Cvphus had
done 1t. At the time Cyphus lived In the vicinity
Of the corner Of North and Bath streets, and while
In prison stated that at the time Of the homicide
he was lying asleep a cellar door, near his
home He was awakened by policeman and
went to his home. The policeman who was on
that beat at the time, confirmed the statement a.
to having driven a man from a cellar door, but
could not identify Cyphus as the party.
Cyphus persisted To the last In the declaration
OF his innocence, and q few minutes before bis
execution, Wnen tne etenddnf minister's were at
prayers and he was summoned 70 prepare for the
terrible ordeal through which be was soon 70

children to the reat Protector Of ALL and expressed
his willingness to die
For several days after the execution, Orem was
Ill, and as soon as he began TO recover drank 20

exhibited great treptdation, aud when asked by
those who attended him what was the matter, re-
piled that a man whom he feared stood bv his

In view Of the Star', declaration Of yesterday that

position would have gone far towards correcting
the impression In the border States that II Is the

made, asks us-''what Of the Helper book now ?"
the Star having earnestly urged the improperly
Of his election to the Speakership because his
name was found among the endorsers Of the con-
tents Of that volume.
We have to answer that though we regard the
Helper book, and those who stand on the Helper
book platform as being quite a. inimical to the
peace Of the country, and, therefore as reprehen-
sible, a. ever before, we are happy to have II In
our power to say that Mr.. Sherman 10 not now Of
that class. The Republican will recollect that
though declining to make any explanation rela-
tive to the appearance Of his name on the Helper
book list, when to do so would look as though IL
were done to secure his election, he subsequently
emPhatically denied that he endorsed the truth Of
Its justly offensive statements or approved its
ultra-abolition views which denial relieved him,
IN the minds Of all fair men of the South, from
the censure In that connection which all Of them
previously thought he merited.
We have further to remind the Republican,
that throug bout the late memorable Congressional
contest Mr.. Sherman was the earnest advocate of
the adoption Of measures designed to assure and
satisfy the South that no aggression whatever is
intended by the administration Of Lincoln upon
their constitutional rights and that to his innu-
ence and exertions, perhaps more than to those Of
any other member Of the last Congress, the South
are really indebted for the enactment Of the Cor
win proposition embracing the proposed guaran-
tee through a change Of the Constitution, that the
reference with slavery In the States. Under these
circumstances, we repeat our opinion intimated
yesterday that the border States have every
to connde in his sound patriotism and conserv-
atism, and would be likely to regard his appoint
rnent to a high administrative office, as evidence
that the new government proposes to place the
affairs Of the county In hands that will not w ield
