Special Despatch to The EUentmg Telegraph.
CONCORD N H., Nov. 9.-The terrors of the
scaftold have been fully and painfully realized
to-day by Pike, the Hampton Falls murderer.
Notwithstanding the numerous pleas for mercy
in his BEHALF the Executive declined to inter
fere, being firm in his determination, and the law
was relentlessly administered. There were
about thirty persons present at the execution
and the declaration of the Sheriff excluding
members of the press having been vetoed by q
higher authority, every reporter who made ap-
plieation was admitted.
None Of the relatives of the condemned man
made an application, but one relative of Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown, his victims, was present and wit
messed the scene from the beginning to the end.
There was great excitement in Concord all the
morning. but everything was quiet around the
prison, a crowd of less than forty persons COM
posing the whole concourse of the curious. The
last night of the condemned was barren of any
incident of interest

AnniIler IiheI Suit.

We learn from the last number OF Fathsr 1bFahaDl
that Andrew Armstrong, ESQ.,, an ex-member OF the
Legislature, and lately candidate for nomination
for the State Senate, has sued Messrs. Rauch a.
Cochran, the proprietors of that paper, for libel
The alleged libel IL is understood consists OF the
statements, made by the defendants some
ture Mr. Armstrong drew mileage OF up
wards Of $780, being for 3O6 miles, while his
residence is only thirty miles from Harrisburg and
the proper mileage only nine dollars. The editors
OF Father brahaa say they are ready for trial. and
express desire TO have the matter settled at the
earliest possible day. II Mr Armstrong has been
falsely charged, there certainly be no dinicty
in proving the fact; and In that case jury will, no
doubt do him ample Justice. The public. and espe-
ciay those interested in local political and legsla
tive affairs, will await che result with considerable

people, and as nine out of ten that started

enterprises appeal for support are prompted by but
one motive in rendering it. If they think they get
their moneys worth they will buy the second copy,
but not otherwise. few days ago a new daily
