when the condition Of the country invites the

Even the organs the War Democracy have

peal is general and emphatic for return TO
the proper chsnnels Of legal action.
Against such a decided manifestation OF
popular opinion supported by the clearest in.

urgent necessity Of advancing the restoration

younger, On the night Of the murder the
inmates Of the house were Me-. and Mrs.
Kent the seven children We have mentioned,
and three servants---s cook, ahousemaid, and
Elizabeth Cough, the nuree, During the
night the child Francis WAS takea oat Of
his cot, strangled, stabbed, his throat was
cut, and his body, wrapped in blanket which
was drawn out from over him,and was thrown
down sprivy belonging 70 the horse.

who set up theory which Involved even the

ExECUrIoN OF UHAMp rRRGusoN.

A special dispatch from Nashville to the
sGincinnati CozspsercsaI of Saturday dis
cribes the execution of Champ Ferguson,
which took place the day previous, as fol-
lows: E e "a
Champ Ferguson was executed at noon
to-day, at the penitentiary grounds just
outside the city. He died game on the
gallows, evincing no emotion until the
rope was placed around his neck, when
his face became very red, broke out into
profuse prespiration, attended with a
strong qnivering of the lips. He stood
composedly on the drop some twenty min
lutes, while the charges, specifications and
sentence were read by Col. Shafter. He
nodded recognition to several persons in
the crowd, and shifted his position in an
impatient manner while the sentence was
being read. To some specification he in
clined his head in assent. To others he
shook his head. That about Elma Hud-
dleson caused him to say 81 can tell it bet
ter than that" When the speaker read,
'To all of which the prisoner pleads not
guilty." he said, 81 don't now"
I After prayer by his spiritual adviser,
he was then asked if he had anything to say
before proceeding with the execution
He replied, "Nothing to say particularly
at all No, don't think l have"
The moose was here placed around his
neck, and then, for the first time, he gave
signs of emotion, and his face blushed to
deep scarlet. The prespiration broke
forth profusely from his face, and his lips
closed with conyulsive quiver. The re-
alization of his awful situation seemed to
have flashed over his mind in all its full
ness, overpowering his fortitude. hi
Colonel Shafter wiped the sweat away,
and the prisoner gradually recovered his
equanimity. - 49,
He expressed himself as much opposed
to having anything placed over his eyes,
when handkerchief was called for. He
then volunteered the statement:
q al don't know some things in these spec
ifications. But | don't deny anything l
ever have done" -
For moment or two he seemed to be
repressing an impulse to make fuller re-
marks. After brief pause he added:
3 81 want to be sent to my family. l
don't want to be buried on this soil"
After pause he continued in an excited
tone: go-. i. to5 1s-...
'Don't give me to the doctors. l don't
want to be cut up" rs
Here Colonel Shafter answered: "You
shant, Mr.. Ferguson"
"A short silence followed, when the pris-
oner again spoke. Aar t a.le
r 81 want to be put in that thing" point
ing to his coffin sand taken to White
County, where l can have my family
around me. III had only had my way,
l woulden't have been here. Whenever
you are ready / am done. My last request
is to be sent away with my wife"
His last words were: 20 Lord have
mercy on me, Ipray thee"
- At seventeen minutes to IL o'clock the
drop fell, and life was extinct in sixteen
minutes. rtia'a j+ "a

No Beggars in America.

Sir Morton Peto, the great English rail-
road man, could have paid no higher COM
piment to the character of our people
than is contained in speech made at an
eastern point, where he used the follow
ing language
After our journey west and east we can
say there is only one thing we have not
seen in this country-we have not seen a
single man asking aims. In other coun-
tries, no matter where, we could not have
travelled a day without being appealed to
on all sides by beggars; not port that
we could enter without being met on
landing by appeals for aims. Here we
can say that we have not seen a beggar,
or person whose appearance indicated
want. This is great fact and one of
which you may well be proud. For this,
if nothing else, you. could afford to be
proud of your country.

The Democratic journals don't know
what to say to President johnson, over
the astounding radical doctrines contained
in his address to the colored soldiers, on
their way home from the war; He said
'ff one man is more meritorious than the
other, they cannot be equals, and he is
the most exalted who is the most merito-
rious, ,Uiltout regard to color" We should
like to know if the Democratic papers of
Ohio are entirely sure that they support
President johnson?

DECLINE OF DEMOCRATIC STOCK IN
PRESIDENT JOHNSON.

The Cincinnati Gazette calls attention to
the fact that since the election, the Cop
perheads have not SO much confidence in
President johnson as they had. The Gin
cinnati Inquirer turns and thrusts knife
into the bowels of his reconstruction meas
ures in the following style:
We have no right 10 require emancipation,
TO right to appoint Provisional Governors, no
right to do anything but march our troops gu.
ofthe conquered territory, and leave the inhab-
itants of the South, to as full and complete an
extent as we enjoy it ourselves, the power to
manage their own affairs.
Not having any right to do it, of course
the doing of it is violation of the Consti-
tuition, an invasion of the rights of the
States and the liberties of the people, and
President johnson is a usurper and merits
Impeachment. This is the way the Dem
ocratic party backs Andy johnson after ell
ection. And this is the way it shows its
own abasement in indorsing all these
measures before election.

Old three
fths basis.
lis 66 100 "a


"West Virginia is included in Virginia.
Thus far the voting of the South has been
done wholly by the whites, who, by reason of
the three fifths rule, have had eighteen more
Representatives than their own numbers would
have entitled them to- If they continue the
exclusion of the negroes from the polls, they
hope to gain under the next apportionment six
teen additional Representatives on the credit of
the disfranchised blacks, or thirty four more
than they would be entitled to on the basis of
their own numbers. To state this mOnstrosity
of injustice, not only to the negroes, but to the
voters of the North, who, since the number of
Representatives is fixed, lose all that the South
gains, is enough 10 prepare the way for its GER
tain removal Justice requires either that the
blacks shall cast the vote themselves, of which
their late masters have thus far been enjoying
the sole benefit; or else that the representation
shall be based on legal voters alone. Both re-
forms would work well. At any rate, the abuse
of allowing one amnested traitor at the South to
count on Congressional representation as much
as two loyal men at the North, manifestly onght
to be brought to and end.

The Capital District.

tits gratifying to know that the Colum-
bus Congressional district, which repudia-
ted Sammy Cox last fall by the decisive
majority of 1929, in the last election gave
a majority for the Union ticket which
crushes all Democratic hopes for better
luck next time. In the midst of general
apathy, and in spite of local divisions and
discouragements, it gave majority at the
last election of nearly 1000 for the Union
ticket. This is decisive enough for all
practical purposes Sammy may continue
his legal pursuits in New York city undis-
turbed by any hopes of representing the
capital district in Congress. Cleveland
