however threw the money away be-

of the story, as related by the Ken

this reference, is that "Scho6eld was
arrested over two years ago, on the
same spot, for the same offence, by the
same officer (Geary,) and had just re-
turned from the penitentiary."
Latterly we have heard of so many
similar instances Of hardened crime
so many cases where penitentiary con-
yicts have but returned from serving
out their terms Of punishment to re-
engage in their old courses of guilt
and shame (the last Mississippi Con-
vention had quite a collection y

plainly, "two years" imprisonment at

reform highwaymen, or deter them
from committing the same crime again
as soon as they are turned out of pris-

Paducah, be fair sample-and We
make no doubt that he is--they seem
to go back to their fayorite "amuse-
ment" with renewed eusto. There is,
it would seem, SO much pleasurable
excitement in the nightly custom Of
taking ones stand upon the highway

moneyed man, to ''stand and deliver,

cboly satisfaction that our hint has already
been acted upon. At Rome, in this State, only
last Friday. it was found necessary to destroy
according TO law one William Henry Carswell,
a murderer. He was to be hung at half-past
twelve, and, of course, looked forward 10
the important event with some agitation,
which accelerated his pulse, and inter
fered with that calm frame OF mlnd
which the public observes with great
delight in persons just about to be turned OH.
To reduce the patient to perfectly religious
state of exemplary acquiescence, there beng
no time for the exhibition of valerian, the pre-
siding physician whipped out his pocket lancet
and drew from Carswell about eighteen ounces
of blood, while the spirit of Dr. SangradO, no
doubt looked down from the skies with a
beaming expression of countenance. AS nothing
was said in his sentence about this extreme
phlebotomy, we presume that the culprit vol
UNFAIRLY submitted to it (; but why would it not
have been as well to have let him then and
there die the death of the philosopher Seneca,
even furnishing a warm bath at the expense
of the county, 1t seems that we are not so
humane even as that lunatic old rascal. the
Emperor Nero.
But let not the authorities at our Rome be
hastily or harshly judged. After the venesec-
ton above mentioned, the man about to die
had such satisfactory interview with his
spiritual ADVISER that he declared in his last
speech that abe could see the angels coming
"to meet him." Nobody else saw them; but
then nobody else had been bled.
But we haye not completed this catalogue OF
GROWING mercies Science, ever benevolent,
assisted at the apotheOsis of this fortunate UNI
fortunate. At the very last they gave him
chloroform; and this, we believe, is the first
instance of such use of the blessed discovery.
The poor man was suffered to go to the an
:" gels coming to meet him." While IN a
state of semi consciousness +" his soul was
launched into eternity as the edi-
fed reporter for the newspapers, with
great novelty and originality, neatly observes.
What with the bleeding, and the angels, and
the chloroform, we must say that this was
one of the most cheerful and religious
Launches" of which we have ever heard or
read. If the scaffold had only been florally
decorated there would have been nothing more
to desire, except perhaps band of music.
1t is true that those who argue that the
wicked should be hung in terrOrener may object
to all these assuasive arrangements, and we
think that. according to the old theory, they
would be right. When we have made hanging
easy how can it be shown that murders will
not be multiplied2 Isn't it, after all, the rack

The Provisional Government could probably
not have found in all Spain better man for
the Captain eneralship of Cuba than Gen.
Dulce; but however popular he may be person
ally, he has as yet decidedly failed to make
any progress in subduing or even in depressing
the instruction. From cable dispatch dated
yesterday, we learn that the town of Neuvitas
is closely beseiged by the insurgents, and the
troops sent out by land for the reinforcement
of the garrison have been defeated A new
revolutionary attempt has been made in the
eastern part of Havana. 1t is not probable
that, with the prospects of new successes
before them, the insurgents will be found very
eager to lay down their arms.

While the Gable dispatch on the first session
of the Paris Conference, which was held on
last Saturday, announced that both the Grecian
and Turkish ambassadors manifested very
conciliatory sentiments, it is reported this
morning that the ambassador of Greece has
been refused admission, that the ambassador
has applied to his Government for instructions,
and that the Conference has consequently put
off the second session, which was to be held
yesterday, for several days, in order to wait
for the action the Grecan Government will
take There must be somewhere an inaccuracy
or a mistake in these statements, which can
not well be harmOnized.

With every desire to see full justice done
to Senator Morrill, of Maine, we confess that
we cannot see the fairness of the COM
plant by his friends that Mr.. Hamlin was
not regularly nominated in the Republican
caucus. One hundred and forty-nine votes
were cast, of which Mr. Hamlin had seventy
bers in the caucus; but one blank ballot was
put in the box, and the member who cast it
says in card that he did so Intentionally.
Unless then blank piece of paper, thrown by
member who did not care TO exercise his
right, is to count as a vote, Mr.. IIamln had a
majority of all the votes cast We cannot be-
lieve that Mr.. Morrill, will lend his sanction to
movement in defiance of this decision.

The "Pan- Handle" Railroad approaches
Pittsburgh from the West by sharp curves
and embankments on the very brink of the
river. After storms or freshets, its trains are
always liable to great danger here from the
sliding away or washing away of the track.
No one can know this better than the officers
of that road, and they have had warnings
enough of the gravest nature, to make their
neglect to have the track so thoroughly
watched at such seasons that an accident like
that of yesterday would be impossible, an act
of apparently inexcusable criminality.
