The EXECUTION OF GoRDoN.-Tbe death
OF Gordon, the slave trader, appears to have
been surrounded with even more than the
customary horrors of an execution. The
man died drvR4, from the stimulants given
to counteract tho effects of the poison he had
taken. and the execution took place in the
forepart Of the time prescribed in the SEN
tence-nearly two hours before the time
was exhausfed-we suppose that suicide
might not cheat the law of its victim. 1t is
the first instance, we believe, Of the infection
of the death penalty FOX slave piracy since
the trade was made u capital offence by
Congress in 1870. \ conviction took place
a few ye ars ago, but on some legal ground
the sentence was not executed.
