Execution of a Murderer.

READING, PA, MayZ3.-John Deal
alias John ZachariaY Z. Snyder, the
murderer Of Richard Harlow, was ex.
ecuted this morning. The murder
was committed October last, near
Leesport, Berks county. The vic
tim was q poor decrepid Yagabond,
and the murder was the result of q
drunken quarrel. Deal did not DENY
the killing of Harlow, but said he did
not intend it, but was defending him
self from Harlow, who, with a pistol
in his hand, was threatening to shoot
him when he struck the fatal blow.
Deal was an old offender, having
served two terms in the penitentiary.
This morning he received religious
consolation from a Roman Catholic
priest, who attended him to the scat
fold. The last remark he made was,
81 don't fear death or the devil, but /
do fear God" The final arrange
ments were admirably made. Before
the trap fell, Deal saids "AIy friends.
] am here TO expiate crime for
which am now sincerely sorry. /
feel that have obtained forgiveness.
and hope to be embraced IN the en-
circling arms of my Saviour" He
died with scarcely a perceptible strug-
gle.

ply to the Judgment of mankind
against other nations that they should
do theirs. | do not hold that am
absolved from my obligations because
somebody else does not choose to per-
form his. Any such rule would be a
disgrace to any civilized nation.
The bill was passed.
Leave of absence having been asked
by the Speaker for several members,
Mr.. Schofeld gave notice that he
would in future object to leave Of alb
sence being granted unless where
there was reason stated.
The Speaker, in connection with
that subject, said that many members
suppose that leave of absence relieved
them from forfeiture Of pay provided
in the act regulating compensation OF
members, but that was a mistake; it
had been decided over and over again
that leave of absence did not in the
least affect that forfeiture on the part
of absentees.
Mr.. Sehenck said he would unite
with the gentleman from Pennsylva-
mia in ObjectiDg hereafter to every
leave of absence except where rea-
son was given.
Mr.. COvode-"And then stop their
pay. That is the best way"
Ingersoll appealed to the House to
go to the business on the Speakers
table, but Mr.. Schenck insisted on his
motion to go into COmmitte on the
Tariff bill.
The House then (2:2O pm went
into Committee on the Tariff bill.
