Mr.. Armstrong, the Postmaster at
Springfield, Illinois, was arrested in that
city on Monday, and placed under bOnds
in the sum of $4,000, for opening let
ters aud taking money therefron. The

sad disappointment one day last week.
In anticipation Of the execution Of the
murderer welters, some Of them had
written out hll the particulars of the af-
fair TO the extent of two or three
columns, interpreted with the customa-

gr sedy eyes they we're prepared to
put the finishing touches to their sensa-
iional reports, when an order came from
Gov. Fenton, granting the prisoner q
fortnight's respite. One Of the report
ers, II 10 said, in order to save time aud
beat his competitors, actually described
the hanging as if Il had actually taken
place, and had II all put in type so as to
be ready for the @first edition"
