The reason that Evansville business men
and capitalists do not repair the Green river
locks, l. because that Is the exclusive duty Of
the State of Kentucky, which derives large
revenue from tolls, and are bound TO keep
the locks in repair. The Superintendent Of
the works has been, FOR some time past. en-
gagged IN prosecuting those repairs, and they
are now about completed, and navigation viii

GOVERNOR ANDREW AND THE NAL.
DEN MURDERER.

Gov. Andrew Of Massachusetts, has been
severely censured in some quarters, for not or
dering the execution of Green, the murderer
ofyoung Converse, in Maiden. In relation to
this matter a Boston paper says, in jjustice to
the Governor:-"It is assumed that the Gov
ernor, who is strongly opposed to capital pun
ishment, allows his personal convictions to in
tefere with bis official duties. The fact, how
ever, that Gov. Andrew, despite his convictions,
ordered the execution of Jersey, in Dedham,
should be an assurance, that official reasons
lead to his course in respect to Green. 1t ap-
pears that there are official reasons. The law
requires that only those guilty of murder in
the first degree, shall be hung; and the law
further says, that the finding of the de-
gree shall be by the jury. But Green confess
ed his guilt; the jury took no action in regard
to the degree Of the guilt" We copy the ex-
PLANTATION in detail from the Lowell Courier:
Gov. Andrew is. an opponent of capital
punishment. He does not believe in its neces-
sity or its justice; but yet, as alaw-abiding
citizen, he does not seek to justify his neglect to
sign the warrant for the execution of Green on
the ground of any conscientious convictions of
this character. His position is that il Green
had been legally convieted of murder in the
first dAgrae, BY the uerdict Of jury, il would
then have becUme his duty to sign the warrant
for his execution; but that not having been
thus convicted, no case is presented before him
on which he is required to act. - 7s3s
The Revised Statutes give the definition of
the first and second degree as follows; Murder
in the first degree must be sHcommitted with
deliberately premediated malice aforethought,
or in the commission of, or attempt to COM
NIT, any crime punishable with death or i'm
prisonment for life, or committed with extreme
atrocity or cruelty" Murder in the second de-
gree is simply an act of murder not in the first
degree. The statue also provides that "the de-
gree ofmurder shall be found by the jury."
Green was indicted for murder, and, on being
arraigned, pleaded guilty, was adjudged guilty
ofmurder in the first degree by court, and sem
fenced to be hung. Now Governor Andrew
maintains that the degree of murder having
been ascertained by the culprits o,ot con fession
instead ofthe uerdict Of ajury, the conviction is
illegal, and that no warrant can therefore be le-
gally issued for his execution. As this presents
mere question of law, on which neither our
selves nor our readers can be supposed to be
very well posted, weswill leave its discussion to
other and ADLER hands. u slas

THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS.

Wholy In the elections. Returns up to the
evening OF the 18th, show the election of 1874

The return of Mr.. Mill is to be hailed M, d..
as triumph of liberal principles, but as a snc,
cessful protest against the enormous and wide.
spread corruption which prevails in English
elections. The average expense of electing a
member to parliament is estimated at $4,000
at the veryleast. Fifty thousand dollars was sub
scribed for carrying the election oftwo conserva-
tives for the city Of London, and the fact was
openenly proclaimed in the papers. Wheresuch
sums of money 60 to in country which is
supposed not to tolerate bribery 1t is difficult
to understand, but the facts remain. Mr. Mill

Let Us be Mereitul 10 Ourselves.

The physical structure of the strongest human be-
ing is vulnerable everywhere. Our bodies are endow-
ed by nature with certain negative power, which
protecs them to some extent from unwholsomc infu-
ences: but this protection is imperfect, and cannot
safely be relied on in unhealthy regions under cir
cumstances Of more than ordinary danger. There
FORE it is WISDOM it is prudence 1t is
to provide against such contingencies by taking
ntidote in odvdnce in other words by certifying the
system with course of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS, the most complete protective against all
the epidemic and endemic maladies that has ever been
administered in any country. AS remedy for Dys-
pepsia, there Is no medicine that viii compare with
it. Whoever suffers the pangs of Indigestion, any
where on the face ofthe earth where HosTETTER's
BITTERS can be procured, does so voluntarily; for
as sure as truth exists this invaluable Tonic and AL
terative would restore his dsordered stomach to a
healthy condition. To the Bilious it is also espec-
ally recommended, and in cases ofcOnfrmed COnsti-
patton it affords speedy and permanent relief In
Canada the West Indies, and Australia the Btters
rank above all other medicines of the class and the
demand for them in all foreign countries increases
