At u minutes past one o'clock the caps

the trap was sprung by him, and the con-

hung motioness. Richardson died In
great agony, drew himself up, and bis

The crowd behaved in a mos. orderly

after the hanging they dispersed peaceably.
After hanging for about 20 minutes, the
bodies were cut down and pronounced

act Of the Dog River outrage.

The Situation I'm Texae.

4 nOrthern-born citizen of Western
Texas gives US some account of the con-
diticn Of things in that State, which ap-
Plies in a greater or less degree to all the
reconstructing States. The freedmen have
been less regular in their work this season
aud the crops have suffered in consequence.
A chief cause Of this unsteadiness has
been their interest in politics. At the BE-
siest season they would leave everything
for days together to attend political meet
ngs, and in the loyal leagues they have
heard So much about confscation for their
benefit that they really expect soon to be
made rich without work. Their leaders
are generally the worst class of whites,
men who do not scruple to use the grossest
deceptions, or any other dishonest means
to obtain power, who were the bitteress
secessionists when secession was popular,
but are how ready to play the part Of orig
inal Unionists, and take the hardest iron
clad oaths without ainching The white
population of Texas is more than four
times the cOlored, bit registration is in tbs
hands of the mean whites for TIE NEST
part, and they have made the disfranchise-
ment altogether more sweeping than the
reconstruction acts justify; so much 50
that the negroes will be in the majority,
and will control the Constitutional Con-
vention. The political prospect has de-
pressing effect upon business, and all are
in doubt about the future. The white
men are willing to submit to reconstruc-
ton but they object tc disfranchisemer:,
especially to the illegal extension of it by
the boards of registration. But there is
no appeal, and they see no hope of relief.
and no prospect for the future much such
miserable confusion and strife as prevail
in Tennessee, with constant apprehension
that it may terminate in chronic hostility

Maximilian's Life in Mexico.
AN INTERESTING SKETCH.

A writer in the Paris Figaro, M. d

The Emperor Macmillan in Mexico,
contributes to that journal few par

THE SLEEPER.

In mn ancient shaft of Falun,
Year ty year body lay,
God-preservcd, rs though II treasure,
Kept unto waking day.
Not tkc turmoil, not the passions,
Or tho busy world DER head,
Sounds Of war, or peace rcioicings,
Could disturb tho placid dead
Onco youthful miner whislling,
licwch the chamber, now his tomb,
Crash the rocky fragments tumblcd,
Closed him in abyssmal gloom.
Sixty years passed by, ere miners
Toiling, hundred fathoms deep,
Broke upon the shaft where rested
That poor miner in his sleep.
AS the gold-grains lie untarnishod
In tho dingy soil nnd sand,
Till they glcam and flicker, stainless,
In the digger's sitting hand.
As the gem in virgin brillianco
Rests, till nshercd into day;
So uninjurcd, uncorruptcd,
Fresh and fair tho body lay
And the miners bore it upward,
Laid it in tho yellow sun;
Up from out the ncighboring houses,
Fast tho curious peasants run.
"Who is hc?' with eyes they question;
"Who is ho they asked aloud?
