Execution of whelan.

A dispatch from Ottawa, Canada, gives the following particulars of the execution of Hhelan, the alleged assassin of DArcy McGce:
 "The morning opened dull, with d,iz- zling snow The country people began to arrive at an early hour, and set about securing good positions to see the scaffold and hear the last words of Whclan. Up to nine clock there were about nine hun dred people on the east side of the jail, and by 10: 30 the crowd had increased to 1000 or 5000, but all asquiet and orderly
 "At ten o'clock the prison physician reported that Whelan was in good nerve, and that no agitation or furry was notice able in him, and short time after the Sheriff announced every thing in readi- ness for the execution.
 'At eleven o'clock Whelan was pinioned and accompanied by the Sheriff and three priests, was led from the prison, looking very pale and excited, but moved along with firm step, and mounted the stair way to the scaffold, responding, as he walked, distinctly to to the prayer of the priest
 After the batter noster had been re pcated, he said: Il beg pardon for any offence that have committed; I forgive all parties who have injured me; ask for giveness from any one may have injured God save Ireland. God save my soulp
 "The executioner then pulled on the white cap and drew it over his face and adjusted the rope, and in few minutes the drop fell, and Whelan hung by the neck for four minutes, suffering intensely, and then breathed no moro.
 'It is rumored that Whelan left writ ten paper in the custody of the Sheriff, the purport of which is not made public as yet"

tarccIy and Suffrage.

Some time since Ex-Gov. Neil s. Brown, and several other leading Conservative men of Tennessee, ad- dressed letter to Horace Greedy, on the sudject of universal amnesty and impartial suffrage. Greedy replies as follows:
 "We print herewith a letter to the editor of this journal from several representative men of the Tennessee Conservatives, including ex-Governor Mel s. Brown and ex-Senator Henry $. Foote. The other signers, though not so widely known, are equally res pccted and influential at home. We ask for it the thoughtful regard of all who heartily unite in General Grants aspiration-"Lct us have Peacc.'
 The novel feature in this letter is its full concurrence in the position we proclaimed long ago, that universal amnesty and impartial suffrage arc each desirable and necessary of itself, and not merely countcrpoise to the other. When we declared, in Novcm- Der, 1866 that we favored universal amnesty at all events, we did not mean, and did not imagine that We could be supposed to mean, that We would in any case abandon our advo- cacy ofimpartial suffrage. We meant only that, if there had never been a slave nor negro in the land, we should have stood for universal am- nesty as wise and bencticent-that we did not propose dicker, nor support universal amnesty merely because we desired impartial suffrage, but because We deem it wise .,nd right.
 The only prdctical question is that oi time. No man who even pretends 10 ..,tatesmunship can doubt that enfrar : i. ehisement is destined to be universal. It is virtually settled already that the llacks are to vote, in spite of their color. Who believes that large class of whites are to be left under the ban for ever? Those disfranchiscd for I,artit.ipation in the rebellion arc ineyi tably superior in intelligence, in .noliti,.al exp ,ricnce, and even in gcncr- al ability, to their enfranchised neigh hcrs. Can the pyramid stand on its mex for ever? Do we not need what gy er ca pacity we have? Have we not right to its frcest use? And how can be said that A or E. is the choice of district for Congress or of his State for Governor, if . large portion of the people can neither vote nor be voted forf And Gin shorD since every one whe knows anything must know that thcr.mo o val of the existing disabilities is asgaestion of time only, why not set tie it.at once, and give peace to the country!

s&The New York Evening. Post (Radical) thus laments the condition of its party:
 When political party has great predominancc, it is pretty sure to draw to itself the rogues, the unscrupulous, and the self seekers in the community. That is the danger of such an asccndan- cy. A party may become the tool of corrupt men, because it's leaders are careless and over confident oftheir strength, and because the rogues and self-seekers arc attracted to it from desire to use it as their instrument,
 When a party becomes. corrupt. the people, who endure for while with that patience which short sighted politicians are so sure 10 misunderstood, presently leave it and take ur ...ie oth- CT party, even if they run the risk of faring but little better by the change.
 It seems to many thoughtful friends of the Republican party that it is run ming just now good deal of risk of such popular descrtion. It has amongst its leaders wise, prudent and good men, but these arc in many cases over-riddcn by glib-tongued dema- gogues, by interruptions spcculators, and by men too ignorant for these times which demand, at least, a decent knowl- edge of political science in the legisla- tor.

Stnte Rights.

For information at Washington, we copy the following paragraph from the inaug- ural address of Gov Palmer, Radical cf Illinois:
 The Federal Government is one of emu merated powers. It is essential to the usefulness of the State Governments that their just authority should be respected by that of the nation. Already the authority of the States is in measure paralyzed by growing conviction that all their powers are in some sense derivative and subordi- nate, and not original and independent. The State governments are part of the American system of government. They fill well defined place. and their just aa thority must be respected by the Federal Government, fit is expected their laws will be obeyod. "A frequent recurrence to the fundamental principles of govern mcnt is essential to civil liberty" and in this view have thought it proper to in- vi,c your attention to these subjects.

GENERAL LEE IN FAVOR OF TIE NEW

GENERAL LIRE IN FAVOR OF THE NEW
 MOVEMENT IN ViRGINIA.-1'he Rich-
 mond Whig quotes approvingly and
 conspiciously the following: "The
 editor of the Petersburg Index, writing
 from Washington, says: I see that the
 Express, Norfolk Virginian, Examiner n, ,d Fredericksburg News are still ex- ere ising themselves about the honor of the old State and its good people The writer adds, by authority, that sGener.sl Lee not only heartily agreed with the new movement, but was among the first to suggest the ideas which con ..rol it. The fact is, all sensi- ble people in Virginia and elsewhere in the South are prepared for peace, and expect it under General Grants au s.., ,,s;sf,ation. and those old politi- clans who cast obstacles in the way of " consnmmation so devoutly to be wished should be shcived forever.- New York Herald.

Onsuof the most painful and tragic events stlsat ever transpired in Arkan sas occurred on Thursday last, at Mari ana, . village In Phillips county, twen- ty-tiye miles northwest of Helena. The actors ia this bloody tragedy were all young mon of good standing and excel lent character, men of the very best stamp, brars, generous, and in the very heyday of ,outhiu mrnhood, and their sudden and terrible dissolution has not only shrouded three homes in dismal nournilg, but cast gloom over the whole col'nty.
 The rar, culars of this terrible event, ss far ss we have been able to gather them from p,a ties living near Mariana are briefly tn, rsc: It seems that on Thursday of .last week. while Mir Tom Freeman was driyi. tg wagon and team in the direction of a-iana, he was ac .costsd by Mr ye,n Slaughter, of Ms sissippi. who, togethe, with h's cousin Nr. Arthur Slaughter, was rldinS pi horseback in the same direction, The |, uark made by the first Mr Slaughter was something to the eift ct that "h' was d-i glad they could at ora at leas oae while driver in Arkans 's' MT Frceman it IS aledged, being ia'ne' dsafin,eru,e escd this remark as a insult @ aud bi,ier'y curs,d the young man, me, or oue of them, remarking that it .Wa' all right, said they would see him n Mariana Upon the arrival of the ", $, on at Mariana, Tom Slaughter orders 'a Freeman to dismount, drawing pistol a' the time, which, it is supposed, accident. ly was discharged wounding Freeman ID the right leg. Immediately upon Inls Freeman fired and instantly killed Tom Slaughter, the bah passing through ms !. .boay-in the region of the heart. slr. AT thur Slaughter being present, leveiea ms rsstol and fired upon Freeman, shoo.,ng i.is, through thshoad, not, however before E'raenan had simultaneously fired, mortal, ;lv wouudag Arthur Slaughter, who dicd instantly.
