James Thomas and Augustus Baker, who
were respited for one week after they had
assembled the scaffold on Friday last, were
executed to-day within the Jail enclosure
here, between the hours of twelve and one
o'clock.
The circumstances attending the respite.
which are fully set forth in my last com.
munication, as we'll as the comments of the
press thereon, will excuse still further de-
tail in this connection
On Wednesday last petition signed by
some persons of the highest responsibility,
including several ladies, also signed by a
number of colored persons, and seeking a
communication in this case of the death
penalty to imprisonment in the Peniten-
tiary for life, was laid before Gov. Holden
for his consideration. The Communication
was asked upon the ground solely that the
prisoners had already passed through an

state Governments i'm The South.

The Cincinnati Gazette, in long article
on Tennessee politics, concludes that no
safe government can be set up in the South
'by excluding the property holders and
the natural leaders of society,"" It appeals
for a general political amnesty. It must
be borne in mind that the Gazette is on
extreme Republican newspaper. Here is
q strong passage coming from such quar-
ter:
eve have seen full trial of this sys-
tenn of establishing loyal government in
Tennessee, and it has become question
whether such loyalty is not exhaustive to
the State, and whether we may not have to
relax the loyal rigidity in order to save the
State from ruin In general the radical
rule has been marked by profigacy in both
State and municipal government, as is
shown by the great increase in State and
municipal debts. besides the great floating
debts which they are carrying along at
ruinous rates of interest. In this we real
ize the evil of DISTINGUISHING the great
body Of taxpayers, and thus losing their
conservative influence in public affairs
And this is aggravated by an agrarian
spirit which takes possession when they
who are hostile to the property class have
control of government who are apt to re-
gard every burden they add to property as
SO much toward it's equal distribution, and
toward securing their share. And in this
case there is the feeling that these bur.
dens are in the line of retribution upon
the property class for their disloyalty in the
civil war"

Rhode leland.

We referred day or two since to the
second postponement by the Legislature
of Rhode Island of the vote on the Fiji
teenth Amendment, and assigned the
reason. This postponement was caused
by the anti-Sprague party. We do moi
know how long these Radicals will refuse
to taste the Ingredients of their own poi
soned chalice, concocted for the Southern
people, but at least it is gratifying to know
that they will be gagged by their own
friends and the little nostrum will be forced
down them.
Under the constitution of Rhode Island,
to which we have formerly referred, NO per
SON can vote "unless he holds real estate,
the assessed value of which shall be one
hundred and thirty-four dollars over and
above all membranes and liens upon 1t. .
It is estimated that this section excludes
from the baIlot-box from eight to ten
thousand white men, for the most part the
industrial population of the State-the
mechanics, clerks, farm and factory labor
ers-a very large proportion of whom are
Irish and German. The adoption of the
Fifteenth Amendment would add quite
fifty per cent to the voting population of
the State, as the largest vote ever cast was
less than twenty thousand, while the Radi-
cal majority at the same time was only
about six thousand.
These Radical patriots are perfectly will
ling for the ignorant blackamoors of the
South to vote and control State elections.
but hesitate and refuse to give the hard
working, intelligent poor white men Of
their own State the right of suffrage.

The Grab Game.
a Sharper Jumps from an Express Train
with his Prize

On Saturday afternoon last three we'll
dressed and respectably-appearing young
gentlemen boarded Conductor Holloway s
express train at Columbus, and immedi-
ately began playing the agreeable to the
passengers by handing around cigars, and
such like acts of kindness and attention.
In the cars was an Englishman destined
for Cincinnati, his future home, who was
particularly delighted with his new-made
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in particular, who was
invited to take seat by his side. Con-
versation relative to "hold Hingland and
Hamerica had continued for some mo-
nents, when one nice young man exhibit
ted singularly constructed article, which
he stated was tobacco box, and asked the
gentleman from England to open it. The
Englishman was about to do so, or at least
make the attempt, when nice young man
No. 2 approached and offered to bet $40
that he could open it, at the same time
taking the box and partially removing the
lid. The Englishman thought there was
marked, Hi can hopen it hin minute "
"Bet you $40 you can't" replied No. l..
"Hi'll take the bet. blast my his hif hi
DON'T" returned the Englishman, pro-
ducing the stipulated sum, which was in
stantly covered and placed in the hands of
No. 2.
By this time the box had been changed,
and our foreign friend was handed solid
piece of wood, carved in the same style as
the original, at which he pulled and tugged,
but without effect.
The train was now approaching West
Jefferson at the rate of twenty miles an
hour. Sharper No. grabbed the stakes,
rushed to the rear platform, and leaped
man. The last seen of them thew were
crossing a plowed field at good speed,
the Englishman a little in the rear.

Decorating Soldiers Graves.
A LETTER FROM MIR. CHASE.
CHARLESTON. S. c.. MAY %. 1Sf

CHARLESTON, S. c.. May %, 1869.
Dear Sir-Your note inviting me to at
tend the ceremony of decorating at Mag
nolia Cemetery the graves of the brave men
who fell in defence of the Union during
the recent civil war only reached me this
morning.
i am very sorry that cannot be with
you on this most interesting occasion; but it
is now too late to make the necessary
arrangements.
The nation cannot too tenderly cherish
the memory of her dead heroes, or too
watchfully guard the well-being of those
who survive. And may we not indulge the
hope that ere long We who adhered to the
national cause will be prompt also to join
in commemorative the heroism of our
co1ntrymen who fell on the other side,
and that those who now specially mourn
their loss, cOnsenting to the arbitrament
of arms ? and resuming all their old love
for their country and our country, one and
indivisible, will join with us in like COM
memoration of the fallen brave of the army
of the Union?
The dead are not dead. They have only
gone before, and now see eye to eye. Why
may not we all borrow from their sacred
graves oblivion of past differences, and
henceforth unite in noble and generous
endeavor to assure the honor and welfare
of our whole country, Of all her States, and
of all her citizens ?
Very respectfully, yours,
S. Z. CHASE.

Fifteen Hundred Fruit Trees Mali
ciOuSly Girdled.

A few nights since, at Benton Harbor,
st. Joseph county, Michigan, in the great
fruit-growing region of this State, the
orchards of Mr.. Martin Green were visited
by gang of rascals, who girdled 1900
p each, cherry, apricot, plum, pear and
apple trees, valued at $780, The trees
were in full bloom, and covered with q
mass of blossoms. It was evidently inten-
ded that the work should be thoroughly
done, as the trees were hacked and cut,
and the bark peeled off with malicious
care. The community was aroused, offer
ed $15, 900 for the arrest of the perpetra-
tors, and set to work to repair, as far as
possible, the evil which had been DONE
Five or six hundred trees were regarded as
utterly hopeless. The whole region was
laid under contribution for rags and graft
ing wax. The graftingwax was heated in
large kettles; women and children strip
ped and dipped the rags, the tree-surgeons
tenderly closed the gaps in the ragged and
torn bark, and bound the orifices closely
with the bandages, afterward painting the
whole literally with the hot wax to exclude
the air and protect the repairs that must
be left to nature.
It is surmised that the failure of the
Western Transportation Company, with
which Mr.. Green was connected, may have
been at the bottom of it. The people de-
clare that there are enough trees remain
ing in, that section to hang the authors of
this extraordinary villainy, should they
ever be caught.
