worlds history. q.
One New Yorker denounced the execu-
tion of Mrs. SurIatt as a cool and deliberS
ate murder. Mr.. Livingston said several
Engllshmep had told him this cruel muir I
der would send thrill of f.horror through
Europe and the howl that would be sent
back would so cover and terrify the
American Government, that it will be

ment to keep him (Davis) lingering in
prison.

framed. Mr.. Livingston, of Alabama,
read from several State Constitutions the
right to secede. He said the
rial of Davis would effect revolution Of
sentiment everywhere in favor of the
South and would prove the secession
cause was right and entitled to the sym
oathv of the world.
