McCoMB HIS EXECUTION - This Is the
9th, and the time rumor fixes the execution
of McComb Is the 18th, and no warrant has
been received by Sheriff Derby from the
Governor. Meanwhile the report of the ex.
ecution has spread Ear and wide, and has
greatly excited the public mind. There is
no doubt but an immense crowd from almost
the entire south eastern part Of the State
will come here on the day named to witness
the execution. Numerous enquiries about
it have been received from points near and
remote, and such is, the testimony Of visit
ors from every direction
We had hoped that official aavices from
Des Moines would have been receiv..d' in sea
son to enable US to furnish the public with
definite information on the subject, but we
must 6, to press without it. The Sheriff has
written repeatedly, but has received no re.
ply. The only evidence of the tine, place.
and mode Of the execn Ton is Telegraph and
newspaper reports. of course insufficient au.
th"rity to hang man upon.
This is all we can now say on this subject.
We are authorized BIZ thu Sheriff to say
that as soon as he receives his official in
structions he will promptly advise the pub
lic through every m dunn accessible to him.
It NAV be proper to state in this connec-
ton, that there is as yet NJ si,.l ,fbr,ak-r
ing down or contrition on the part of the
prisoner. He has SAID that he would suffer
thousand deaths before he would permit
his enemies to see him hung About Thurs.
day Of last week, he refused to. eat or drink
anything, and adhered to that resolut ion
pertinaciously for FIVE days and nights, but
on the sixth day for some reason unexplain-
ed. he changed his mind. and has since ia
ken moderate quantity of food. and some
coffee. He is somewhat reduced in flesh,
and his voice is perc'ptibv affected He
spends most of his time in bed. Mr.. Wagg
visited him on Saturday, and shaved him
and cut his hair. Mr.. Harkins, EXPRESS
Agent, called on him on Tuesday at the re-
qnest OF hi friends at Rockford, to make arr
engagements about the removal OF his Wv
t, that place. He conversed freely with
those parties, but sail nothing worth m en-.
tioning, except remark to Harkins, that he
wished arrangements made to remove his re.
mains before the time fixed for his execution

NAPOLEON THE PARvEHu AND JOHNSON the
PLEBEIAS.-When Napoleon Ill published his
official announcement Of his intended nuptials
with the fair Eugenic, he declared himself
pdruen. When Andy johnson assumed tho
position of Vice President Of the United States
he pronounced himself . plebeian. But the
latter took step further, as he did one below,
the social status Of the French Emperor. The
new Vice President minated that not only
himself but Chief Justice Chase, Secretary Sew
ard, Secretary Stanton and Secretary What's
his-name? Of the Navy, were also plebeans.
These ought TO make company sufficiently
respectable for the most fastidious tastes. These
gentlemen certainly minglc in highly infuen-
tlal, fnot aristocratict circles. Seward would be
an earl, Stanton duke, and Whats-bs-namci q
lord high-cock-a-lorum in any country but this.
Twenty-Five or thirty years ago we had CO
terie Of plcbeians in this city who used the
term as political dodge TO entrap tho "in-
domitables" and "subterraneans." They were
managed under firm called Slam, Bang
Company, long since gone out Of existence;
but some Of their descendants, SO far from con-
sidering themselves q lower order Of society,
are now the most influential out-oroppings Of
metropolitan sristocracy.

OUTLINED Bins MExoRY.-The- forgetfulness Of
the name Of the Secretary Of the Navy by the
new Vice President Of the United States, ex-
hibited during the Inauguration proceedings in
Washington on Saturday, formed curious
episode in the ceremonies It is true the gray
beard Secretary has been considered fossil Of
antediluvian antiquity; butitwas to besupposed
that his name would have lived In history like
those Of Noah, Methuselah and that venerable
race Of pioneers; but 1t seems to have been
lost to the memory Of the second officer in II
government Of the United States. If our worthy
Vice President should ever have occasion
to refer to the Secretary of the Navy again, and
forget his name, let him think Of Rip Van Win
kle or some other ancient, and the patronymic
Of the andquated Gideon will Immediately
occur to him.
