The EXECUTION OF HARRIs.-An location
al Augusta correspondent writes that the Ex-
ecutive Council adjourned after busy session
of few days. Among other matter attended
to at this session was a report made that in
consequence of the absence of Sheriff Laugh
TOP, the Governor be advised to stay the exc
cution of Clifton Harris until the I'd Friday in
February, 1869. The report was approved by
the Governor. The Council were unanimous
in the acceptance OF the report.
We predict with the utmost confidence that
Harris will never be executed. The warrant
for hanging hin issued by Governor Chamber
lain has effected probably the exact thing that
was intended-directed the attention of the
people TO the barbarous construction that MAJ
be given to the laws of Maine.
