David E. Harold, George A. Atzerodt'
Lewis Payne Greatly Powell,) and Mrs. Mary
T.. Surratt, having by the Military Commission
lately sitting at Washington been found guilty
of conspirinc 10 assassinate President Lincoln,
Secretary Seward, and other heads OF the Gov
eminent. and sentenced to be hanged therefor,
will be executed accordingly this day.
OF the others implicated in the same con-
spirary, or in the execution of some part of it,
Michael O'Laughlin, Samuel Arnold, and DR..
Samuel A. Mudd are to be confined in the
Penitentiary at Albany for life, and Edward
Spangler for six years.
These are all the parties actually arraigned
before the Military Commission. Others have
been popularity, and even officially, charged
with completely in Booths awful crime, but we
are not informed that any moro are to be put
on trial therefor. If they should be, we infer
that it will be before an ordinary court Of law.
In fact, since it has been officially adjudged at
Philadelphia that the privilege of Habeas Cor
pus has been restored by the restoration OF
peace, we presume that no more arrests will be
made save on civil process and no more Mill
tary trials had save Of Military offenders.
We do not concur with those who deem II
particularly revolving to hang woman. II
seems to us horrible that woman should muir
der; but, if she does so, she should fare neither
better nor worse than other murderers. Let
there be no exclusive privileges, even at the
pallOws, ... .....I

sans. But we believe IN Progress-in better
physical as well as intellectual and moral con.
dtion in the future for the ToiliDg Millions
than they have endured in the past; and We see
no reason why muscular exertion should be as
continuous, as exhansting after as before the
IstupendOus labor-saving inventions and devices
of the present century. We do not believe the
Laboring Glass can secure more pay by working
fe,oer hours. as they are confidently assured in
some of the Eigbt.IIour appeals before us, for
our experience tends entirely in the opposite
direction; but it is right that they should
fairly participate in the advantages con.
stantly accruing to tho public from the use
Of new inventions and from the expiration OF
patents issued fourteen to twenty-eight years
ago; and tits quite possible that lower wages and
more frugal, living combined with larger opportu-
mites for reflection and mental improvement,
would be hailed by many of them as alike accept
able and advantageous. InHexble only on one
point-that whatever is best for Labor is best
for Capital as wcll-we call attention to the sub
ject of regulation and further limitation OF the
Hours of Labor and will gladly receive any
facts or suggestions which seem calculated to
shed further light thereupOn.

Gov. Fenton has appointed orr ineghbor,
: John F. Zebley, No. - spruce-st., State AS.
SCISSOR, in place Of Philip W. Engs, who has re-
signed in consequence of his appointment as
Fire Commissioner. Mr.. Zebley is native OF
Delaware, but has been resident Of this City
for thirteen years, and ON active member Of the
Republican Union party since its formation
though he has never till now held office. The
duties of the Board TO which he is appointed
2 have become of great Importance from the large
Increase Of State Taxes consequent on the war,
bat we believe, from business acquaintance
with Mr.. Zcblcy throughout the last ten years
that he will, in his performance OF them, fully
justify the choice Of the Governor.
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1865-07-07

We think Gov. Fenton has done right in com.
ruuting into imprisonment for life the punish
ment of Charles II. Walters, who was to have
been hanged to-day for the murder OF his mis-
tress; and yet we feel that the denunclation OF
CAPITAL Punishment must in general be better
enforced if it is not to be wholly abandoned.
OF the last hundred persons who committed
murder in our City, not five have been hanged
or are likely to be. Our Juries hesitate to con-
yict on any but the most incontestable proof
from Just dread of unjustly taking away by
mistake that which can never be restored, SO
that we estimate the convictions in capital cases
as not half what they would be if the legal PEN
atty were imprisonment for life. But OF those
convicted, but q small per centage are actually
hanged, so that the punishment is 50 rarely IN
aicted that it almost ceases to be feared. No
would amend this by changing the penalty;
but, If not changed. it will have to be better
enforced. .--.... ).
Walters, we learn, seems thoroughly peni'
isnt and deeply religious. 1t is believed by bis

and tho cbiyslry which suffered itselfto Cypress

and the chivalry which suffered itselfto Cypress

into the contest habit Of selfprotection' and
ACKNOWLEDGMENT inconsistent with that devotion
