wendell Phillips ON General Grant.
Wendell Phillips lectured in Boston on
Thursday evening. OF General Grant he
said:
1.-THE representative man at Washington
to-day is the great American riddle. Out
OF twenty millions Of people who have
watched him for six years there is not one
who knows his opinions. His great merit
is that he has been able to stand in the
most prominent position before twenty
millions of people, in the most critical
years, and nobody knows what he thinks
Laughter Not one. Now there is an
anccdotc; now there is an editor now a
man declares that he says this: now a
friend Of his denies it; now they arc sure
he is a Democrat; no, he is not Democrat
at al. But in the mean time every single
step he takes-for he is obliged to step,
although he is SO silent; you cannot get q
word out of him, but he is obliged to act
and every act he does, dozen men start
up to explain it. He don't mean this :;
ne don't mean tho other; we don't know
what he means And the American
people, on the verge of Niagara, having
buried half million of martyrs, having
mortgaged the industry of a genera
ton to the extent Of three thou
sand millions of dollars, having taken
the comfort from every table, with
that door open to success, and God about
to close it,-they stand on that precipice,
and under that pressure, and are about to
launch themselves forward under the gui-
dance of man who says, Shut your
eyes and give the fate of the people to
me- %, tellow-c Citizens, we did it once !;
we flung back an honest Yankee into his
house, and went down and took an untried
and unpledgcd Tcnnesseean and put him
at the helm of govcrnment-and here We
are! God grant we may make no second
such mistake. prolonged applause.l !
would not rob the brow of Ulysses Grant
of one single leaf of its laurcls. / would
grant him what his most admiring eulo-
gists claim-that he stands by the side of
the AleXanders and the Wcllingtons. Put
him where you please. All | ask of his
admirers is, what is his idea of this mo-
ment, and what is his policy for the future
What is his view of the present duty and
the future necessity He says to the
American people nothing and his friends
praise him that he says nothing In the
mean while one half of the nation says that
the Democrats will rejoice in his nomina-
ton, and the other half says he is the only
hope of the Republican party. Well, then,
God save the Commonwealth

Execution or Isaac Yarbrough mt

der OF Samuel Y. Rowleft.

" 1S&ac HarDrOugh mt
Lunenburg Courthouse for the Muir.
der OF Samuel s. RowIett.
Special to the Dispatch
MEHERRlN DEPOT, November 2.-The
negro, Isaac Yarbrough, who was tried and
convicted of the murder of Samuel S.
Rowlett at Meherr;n depot on the 18th of
December last, was executed at Lunen-
burg Courtho use on yesterday.
The principal circumstances of the afro
cious murder were these:
About halfpast 6 O'Clock on the morn
ing of the 2Sth Of December last, the citi-
zens of our village were startled by the
announcement that Mr.. Samuel S. Rowlett,
clerk in the grocery and bar-room of Mr..
Il. ". Wall, had been murdered, and the
store robbed. Mr.. Rowlett was found
lying partly across the hearth at the end
of the counter, with the back part of his
head mashed by several blows of an axe
one blow, that missed its aim, leaving its
clear impression upon the wall above Mr..
Rowlett's body. The body was still warm
the blood running freely-showing that
the deed was done only few hours before
its discovery. An empty glass upon the
counter showed that the murderer had
taken drink after perpetrating the
shocking deed, and the cash-drawer left
half open and empty pointed out the in
centive for the brutal act.
Mr.. Rowlett had attended a party in the
village the night before, leaving the store
closed, and the boy who waited upon him
to watch until he returned. About 2
O'Clock he left the party for home.
Mr.. Rowlett had his clio thes all on, and
his shoes were united, as if he was Just
preparing to undress for bed when the
fiends entered.
Isaac Yarbrough and two negro accom-
plices were arrested the next day, and one
made full confession of his connection
with the murder, charging that Yarbrough
was the perpetrator of the deed.
The execution took place about l o'clock
inside of the Jail yard, and only few per-
sons were permitted to witness it. Every
precaution was taken to prevent any at
tempts being made by the negroes to
rescue him, as it was believed by many
they would do. There was no disturbance
whatever, and the large gathering of ne
groes outside the jail-yard dispersed
quietly after the execution was over.

WASHINGTON, November 2.-The total
registration in New York city up to last
night was 10000. The registration con-
tinues to-day. The total registration last
year, when the Democracy had Al ,lS5, was
only l02,l42. The Democrats have been
exceedingly anxious about this registra-
ton, but yesterdays work, 81 ,0SS, relieves
them. They now regard the State as GER
tain by handsome majority.
Advices from Garibaldi's camp, six miles
from Rome, on the goth of October, say
he had 5000 men, and recruits are arriving
at the rate of 600 daily. He will not attack
Rome with less than 10000 men. He has
only two brass pieces of artillery, which
he captured at Monte Rotondo. The
Papals have retired, burning the bridges.
Garibaldi resisted the wishes Of his troops
to shoot prisoners. The Catholic priests
fought bravely among the troops at Monte
Rotondo. Garibaldi had plenty of arms
and provisions.

A Remarkable Rescue.

A correspondent of the Memphis Chris
iqn Aduocate furnishes the following Incl
dent:
On Thursday, September Goth, while
Mr.. W. 4. Swain, of Manlysyille, Henry
county, Tennessee, was drawing bucket
of water, his little son Henry, an interest
ing child of three summers, was suddenly
precpi,ated into the well, in which, as is
sometimes the case, two buckets were
used. The child, it is thought, impressed
with the idea Of assisting his father, had,
unnoticed, taken hold of the descending
rope, and was thus instantly jerkcd over
the curbing Of the well. The first init
nation Mr.. Swain had Of the casualty was
seeing the child falling headloremost, and
striking against the bucket.
The feelings Of the parent may well be
imagined. There was no time for retlec-
ton. The peril Of the child called for
prompt, heroic action. In a moment,
quick as thought, Mr.. Swain seizes the
we'll rope and follows the child, deter
mined to save him or share his watery bed.
In another moment he finds his child,
convulsivcly presses him to his bosom, and
rises with feelings of triumphant JOY TO
the surface of the water. Here he SuS-
tans himself till preparations are made
for raising him securely out OF the we'll
This was soon and safely done. The child
suffered no injuries other than a few
bruises, and when brought to the surface
of the water, with great GOODNESS and pre-
sence of mind he inquired for his hat
which he had lost in the fall We dare
say that such an occurrence, with similar
gratifying results, has no parallel.
