TIE PREPARATIONS.

On Thursday evening the gaIlows and
scafold, entire new structures, have been
erected, ropes and coflins prepared, and all
necessary preparations made for the exc
cution and disposition of both Booser and
Houser.
CONDUCT OF TIE PRISONERS.
Friday at noon, April 2O-Rev. r. c.
Christy and Rev. Giles Christoph were
engaged in prayer with the prisoners dur
ing several hours last night and this fore
noon. Houser appears to be much dis
tressed at the fearful fate which awaits
him, while Booser seems to look upon the
execution as a common business transac-
ton, and talks to and endeavors to recon-
ciIe Houser to his fate.
THE GUARD.
A guard of armed men was placed
around the Jail about 10 a m, OF Friday.
THE CROWD.
Contrary to the expectation of our cit
izens, and TO the credit of the people, the
crowd in town up to the hour of execution,
is quite small-nOt exceeding 800 or 400
visitors Reporters for the press of Pitts
bugh, Greensburg, Johnstown and Eb-
ensburg are present, and are to be admit
ted to witness the execution AT the time
the execution came off not more than fifty

TIE PRISONERS on THE sCAFFOLD.
At twelve o'clock precisely the two
prisoners were brought on the scafoId
by TIE Sheriff and his assistants, accompa-
MED by their spiritual advisers; the ropes
were then properly adjusted.
The prisoners whispered something to
their spiritual advisers, but said nothing
concerning their guilt or innocence that
could be heard by others.
THE DROP.
The arms and legs of the prisoners were
pinioned, the caps were drawn over their
faces, and-at IL minutes past u o'clock
the drop fell and they were suspended in
the air
HOW THE PRISONERS DIED.
Booser after being suspended at the end
of the rope struggled for few minutes
but Houser died without a struggle.
The bodies remained suspended for
forty-one minutes when they were pro-
nounced lifeIess, cut down and placed in
the coffins. They are now being reno
we'd to the place of burial.
BURIAL OF THE BODIES.
Graves have been dug and the bodies of
both Booser and Houser are 10 be inferred
in the Catholic cemetry-one large grave
has been prepared for the reception of both
bodies.
At half past one o'clock the bodies are
being consigned to the grave.

ga BUNCH OF FIvEs. Geo. Wilkes,
of the Spirit Of the Times, the organ of
horse-racers, gamblers and shoulder -hitters,
quacks at the President in the following
style:
''But if no adjustment shall be made,
and the President, ignoring Congress, shall
press on the issue which we have fore
shadowed, we give him warning that the
muskets which now hang in honored ease
in every houshoId north of the Potomac,
may soon be hurriedly unslung, and ru-
NOR pass throughout the land which may
break into the roar of battle before this
year has closed"
1t would be strange, indeed, if the men
who perilled their lives through four years
of warfare TO restore the Union and main
tain the Constitution, should join with the
plunderers and demoniac fanatics in des-
troying that very Union and Constitution.
Wilkes must mean the John Brown mus
kets and the arms which the Hartford
Conventionists prepared for Northern re-
bellion, but which, through cowardice.
were put away and ever since have been
hanging in dis"honored ease" They are
not tdangerous-neither are the plunderers
who might chance to be their carriers in
war against the President and the Union.

THADEUs SrEvESSe-Hmper's Weekly,
which has hitherto advocated the peculiar
politics of Thaddeus Stevens with much
bitterness, has recently shifted its ground,
and gives in a late issue the following
sketch of the leader of the Radicals:
He Mr.. Stevens is strictly revolu-
tiOnary leader, reckless, unsparing, vehe-
ment, vindicate, loud for the rights of
conquerors, intolerant of opposition, and
as absolutely incapable Of fine discrimina-
tion and generous judgment as a locomo-
tive of singing. OF a pleasant humor
and personal kindliness, he is no more fit
ted for the task of reconstruction which
devolves upon Congress than a iovail
blacksmith to repair a watch. or ga
butcher to take up hidden arteries and
sundered veins in the very region of the
heart" Yet a Congress, which is un-
doubtedly one of the ablest that was ever
assembled, has quietly allowed itself to be
almost a puppet in the hands of such a
man and at such a time. The conse-
quence is that Mr.. Stevens crude and
rash talk is supposed to be the voice of
Congress. A legislator who undertakes
to regulate the price of gold by law is the
tacitly acknowledged chief of a body of
practical business men. A representa-
tive who sneers at the press is a per-
mitted leader in a party created and tri-
umphant by free discussion.
1t is one of the marvels of the time that
no man known as a Radical has vindica-
ted the party and the country against Mr..
Stevens. Yet nothing is more
certain than that the calm, good sense of
the great Union party has strongly con-
demned the views and policy of Mr.. Ste
