Mr.. Cox, of New York, took the same ground
and asked the Republican side whether they
would dare to stamp the brand of interiOrity
on New York or Ohio that this bill stamped on
Virginia; whether they would dare to inter-
fere with the common school system or the
jury system of New York or Ohio.
Mr.. Logan of Illinois, said he was one OF
those who had voted for the admission of Vir-
gnia free of conditions and would do so again
under similar circumstances; but he would
now vote for the substitute. He would not in
qulre who it was that had been working in the
lob6ies of the Senate to have this bill sent back
10 the House so that some gentleman might
nave opportunity of fllgeleting in language
peculiar to himself his fellow members nor
would he enter into personalities. He had not
n himself been Republican long, enough to al
low moss to grow over him, and therefore he
did not propose to canvass any body's action,
neither would he allow any other person to be
a censor over him. He did not see any 1ncon-
slStency in voting now for the bill on the very
statement of the gentleman from Massachusetts
himself that the conditions imposed We're
mere notice to Virginia that she had better De-
have herself.
Messrs. Fitch and Kellogg, who had original.
~ supported Mr.. Blngham's bill announced
tn nI intention, without approving the Senate
DILL to vote for it.

all penitents to come up at once and make

CoRREcTIoN-As an article appeared in our
police record in relation to Mr.. Bartholomew
Roonan yesterday morning which does injus'
tce to him by reason OF misunderstanding
we desire to correct ii. Mr.. Roonan did not
take his wife's money when he went to Bos.
ton. 1t was his own. There was no division
of property until he returned to Portland
Mr.. Roonan has been in the employ of the u
7. r. r. Co. for many years, and is hard
working, honest, respectable man and bears
that reputation wherever he is known. We
are therefore sorry the notice should have APP
peared in the form it did. The Boston paper:
that printed the article were also mistaken.

FURTHER particulars of the execution of
Traupman for the most revolving crime of the
year have been received. Before daylight
Hedenreich, the official eXecutioner tested
the scaffold-which had been erected during
the night on the Place de la Raquette-fas-
tened the axe to the block, and proceeded to
the prison. The Director of the prison con-
Quoted him in person to the cell of Traupman
who appeared pale and excited, as if having
passed sleepless night. Laying his hand
upon his shoulder Heidenreich addressed his
victim, "Thou beongest to me-" A percepti-
BILE shudder passed over his frame as these
terrible words were pronounced, and Traup-
man seemedito have completely lost the self
possession which characterized him during
bis trial. His hands were tied behind his
back, a short chain was put to his feet, which
permitted him to make very short steps, and
the chain was connected with the hands by a
rope. Notwithstanding the early hour, the
execution was witnessed by great crowd OF
people. He persisted in his story that he had
accomplces- the mob yelled at the ruff
an until he he had ceased to exist.
