clouded, and the veil Of darkness was drawn
over his eyes, as if to make amends for the
infiction upon the poor negro boy, flood
Of light was poured into his brain, and his
mind became an opera CT beauty, written
by the hand OF God, in syllables of music,

JAPANESE EXECUTION.

While we had been making our tour
of inspection the doomed culprit had
been unlashed and di8mountcd from his
horse at the gate. But when set on his
feet he was unable to stand, owing to
weakness and the constrained and pain
tul position in which he had been kent
SO long, and his guard we're obliged to
carry him into the precincts Of the
prison. Here an ample breakfast had
been provided, of which he ate heartily,
and with evident enjoyment after
full half hour it was intimated to him
that his presence was expected. With
the assistance Of an attendant on each
side, he walked slowly into the exeeu
tion-gound, and was placed, kneeIing
and sitting on his heels Gin the universal
japanese posture), behind small hole
dug out for the re ception Of his head
Some ten yards in front of him, and
separated by rope running across the
square, sat the presiding yakonin and
the prison authorities, calmly tanning
themselves; and beyond these again
we're the six or eight foreigners who

The prisoners arms were then pinion-

cloth was tiedoFer his eyes, he request

chorus Of walls answered the poor
wretch from his friends outside the
walls, none ofWbom could be seen from
the interior. This was followed by
"Syonara" (good-by), and By a deeper
and more prolonged wall from the
crowd outside. The prisoner then sig
nailed to his guards that he was ready,
and submitted quietly to the operation

executioner brought down his heavy
blade with an audible thud which sew

seized, carefully washed and cleaned,

L POOR DEFENSE.

The Oshkosh NortHuestera contin-
mes It's assault upon the official charac.
ter Of State Treasurer Smith without
intermission, and with great vigor. Mr..
Smiths friends have come to his res
cue in force, and the press of the State
teens with the discussion. But the
argumcnt-if it may be dignifcd with
the name-which many of them seem
to rely upon and the most of them EN-.
ploy, is that the editor Of the North
,gestera is actuatcd by personal spite
against Mr.. Smith. 1t is claimed that
the former is disappointed because the
latter did notlocate the Normal School
building at Oshkosh upon or near some
lands which he owned, and hence
makes these assaults. But this is no
defense worthy of the name-the peo-
pie will look at the charges and want
to know whether they are true or false.
They care nothing about the personal
relations between the two parties; the
onmity of the one viii not clear the
skirts Of the other. Now it will be
difficult to make those who personally
know Mr. Smith believe that he has
been guilty of criminal or even cen
surablo conduct in the discharge Of
his official duties the law which pre-
scribes the manner of conducting the
sale Of State land aad other business
connected herewith, may not be just
what it ought to be, and in that case
the law and not the agent should re-
ceive the blame for It's unjust or uu-
equal operation. Attorney General
Gill says the fees are collected as they
have been from the first, and as the
law is understood to provide. This
being the case it is due to Mr.. Smith
himself and to the party he represents
that he should make defense as full
thorough and minute as are the char
gos brought against him; and that his
cause should not be trifed with and
injured by frivolous allegation o
malice on the part of his assailant.
As for The latter, if he is sincere ii
his action, and believes that he has
reason for pursuing his present course
We consider him deserving Of all praise
for adhering TO it in spite of the abuse
and invective which has been heap oe
upon him-a fearless and Independent
press is the glory and safeguard of ouI
free institutions, and should be price
and carefully fostered But, if he Ii
actuatod only by personal hostility, his
malice should not be allowed to &C
complish it's purpose as it surely vii
do, unless conteracted by a full and
satisf2 Jtory defense on the part of the
/ person accused.
