AN ExECUTIoN-DREADFUL SCENE.

FROM Ine IHdSSQCHuSettS GuLT0tuH.
William Collier, who was sentenced 10 death
at the late Statfordshire assizes tor the murder
of Mr. Thomas Smith, at Winston Eaves, near
Cheadle, was executed in front of the County
Prison at Stafford, III the presence OF several
thousand spectators.
Upon reaching the drop the culprit was
placed under the fatal beam, aud the eXecu-
tioner, George Smith, having drawn a white
cap over his face. fastened the rope around
his neck. He then stepped back and drew
the bolt, when scene OF revolving charaC-
ter, exciting horror and indignation amongst
the multitude, took place. The culprit fell
heavily downward, the weight of his BODY
impelled by the sudden jerk, dragged the
rope from the beam to which it was fastened,
or rather supposed to be fastened, aud instead
of being suspended by the neck he dropped
firmly maintained, the rope still around his neck
and the white cap over his face.
The eXecutioner and prison officials for some
moments seemed perfectly paralyzed, and 1t was
not until the Rev. Mr.. 0'SulliVan exclaimed
Where is hep and Immediately rushing down
the steps of the scaffOld to where the unhappy
man was standing, that they recovered them
selves and took measures for the completion of
the sentence. The priest having commenced
anew the service that had met with so dreadful
an interruption, the cap was removed from Col
lier's face and the rope from his neck when he
again ascended the scatfold steps firmly and
without apparent emotion, -uttering the religious
responses OF his Church in subdued tone OF
voice. Upon reaching the drop the second
time--another rope having in the meantime
been liked to the beam-the eXecutioner was
received with storm Of yells and Kisses. Re
gardless of these he proceeded with his task, and
in few minutes the drop again fell, and aftnl
some severe convulsive struggles the culprit
ceased to exist.

California, that a careful investigation had been
given to the report widely circ ulated, stating
that the Indians had assembled in force at

numbers of the residents and committed other
outrages. The report was wholly without foun-

the inhabitants of the valley to secure the pre-

the leading Radical papers are condem-

The Policy of Humanity

General Frank P. Blair, of Missouri,
one Of the few Republican politicians
who distinguished himself by personal
gallautry in the war, has lately written a
letter to a meeting in ST. Louis, in which
be gives utteranee to the following mag
unanimous and generous sentiments. He
says, in speaking of the Radicals:
Such persons are most persistent in
urging measures of unnecessary harsh
ness and indignity, in order 10 irritate
and goad our vanquished opponents into
acts Of resistance which will justify the
infection Of still greater cruelty. If
those brave and unfortunate people could
only be driven by their insults and con-
tumely to such acts, itwould I'LL the souls
Of their malignant prosecutors with un-
epeakable Joy and satisfaction, because
it would afford the pretext they seek, TO
deny to the Southern people the rights OF
freemen and free States These Jacobins
feel aud know that it is necessary to dis
franchise the white race at the South as
aifording them their only chance Of re-
tanning power and position.
What civilized nation on earth would
hesitate an instant, il the opportunity
offered, 10 incorporate with themselves
the brave and heroic people Of the South
whose fortitude and endurance, 10 a mis-
taken cause, challenge the admiration
and respect ofthe world2 Would France
or England, OF any other civilized power
hesitate 10 give 10 such men the full and
equal rights accorded 10 all other Cit
zens? Would not those nations be mos
happy 10 claim, as their own, such mer

NEW YoRK, April PA Washington
special says the meeting and action OF
the New York Congressional delegation
last evening, with reference to the ques-
ton of reconstruction, has been the sub
iect Of much comment to-day, and has
created considerable surprise among the
extreme men who counted on the ma
jority of that delegation as sure to favor
forced negro suffrage. In any event
the following is the substance of the
proposition which was received with the
greatest favor by the meeting
First Amendment basing the repre-
sentation upon the population, and pro-
viding that whenever any States denies
suffrage to any class of citizens Of the
United States for any reason except for
participation in the rebellion, such dis
franchised class or proportion shall be
deducted from the basis Of representa-
ton t.. a.s H
Second. A constitutional amendment
prohibiting payment Of the rebel debt,
and providing that there shall never be
compensation for emancipated slaves
Third. As part of the plan of recon
struction, it is proposed that whenever
these amendments shall be ratified by a
sufficient number CT States TO make them
a part Of the Constitution, then each OF
the rebellious States shall be entitled to
the admission Of their Representatives,,
on their taking the required oath OF ofhce.
Fourth. The following classes OF per
sons TO be forever debarred from holding

Of Congress and Judges Of the Supreme

all persons guilty Of treating our prison

resolution was not formally adopted, but
It was agreed that it should be presented
