Gov. Stevenson,s Response 20 the
Recent Communication of the
Hon. Thomas l.. Jones.
To THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY With
hesitation and reluctance turn TO q per-
sonal matter which l had intended never
to touch again. Friends, in whose
judgment l confided, thought should
be silent; others to whom | now yield,
think reply is demanded of me. Brief
it shall be, and on the subject involved,
very certainly my last.
l. In regard to Senator McCreery,
not one title of evidence that could con-
vince any unprejudiced mind has been
adduced to show that l used the rumor
about the Burbridge recommendation to
damage his election, or in any way to
iDjure him.
2. As to Mr. Jones, l repeated state
ment of his in reference to the above
named recommendation, as | understood
it. In this 1 am couoborated by the
direct and unimpeachable evidence of
two gentlemen, not to mention others of
equal verscity. On the side of Mr..
Jones stands nothing but his naked, I'M
sustained contradiction.
Invidious reference has been made to
my ''early manhood. By the personal
intimacy which for twenty-five years has
subsisted between Mr.. Jones and myself,
he is estoped from insinuations of this
kind.
l frankly acknowledge the eITors and
transgressions of my youth. They were
great. For thlrty-two years since, by
strict regard to every duty, public and
private, have done all in my power to
atone for them My generous country
men have so far forgiven them as to ele-
vate me to many posts of honor and con-
fidence-member of the Legislature; of
the Constitutional Convention; of Con-
gress; Presidential elector; Lieutenant
Governor; Governor; Senator elect; and
yet never an allusion to the sins of dis
tant past.

generation gone by, so in future, l shall
not change the course have adopted,

A Scottish Athlete.

Describing the eames at a Scottish
picnic, the New York Tribune makes
the following alIusion to a Scottish
athlete lately arrived in this country ::
But after each had taken his turn
in tbrowingt the 24-pound ball-'stone,'
as it is calIed-there came to the front
a Titan who at once SO outdid them
in all performances and so lowered
above them in stature and strength,
that most Of them were dwarfed by
comparison. This man was Donald
Dinnie, 'the champion athlete Of Great
Britain He has won some seventy
medals of silver and gold in contests
in Scotland, England and Ireland
He is a prodigy of strength. His
Dronzed skin and trained muscles
snow that his skill has been acquired
in many open-air contests. He came
to this country at the instance of the
New York Caledonian Club, and is
on a sort Of starring tour, to continue
until some time next month. 1t was
certainly a wise policy on the part Of
the Scotchmen to bring him over
here, to show what may be done in
these games, and to furnish a high
standard Of excellence. In the games
yesterday he exceeded all competitors
by generally about one-third. In
throwing the 'heavy stone, Donald
Dinnie reached thirty-four feet seven
inches, while the powerful man who
came next to him only reached 26
feet l inch. So it was throughout
the programme, only with a higher
difference in favor of Donald. Wher
it came to tossing the caber-a bean
II feet 8 inches long, s inches at itc
greatest and 4 IL inches at its small
est diameter-no one succeeded il
throwing it so that it would turn OF
end, as required. Some indeed coulC
scarcely handle it at all, Dinnie ther
took it up. Doubt was expressed a!
to his ability to throw it, and hi
friends instantly offered to back hin
by bets. But he cautioned them no
to do so, as he felt doubtful of sue
ceeding. In this he made lis grea
effort Of the day. He threw the 10.
and made it turn over upon it's end
creating wild enthusiasm among th
spectators. In the course of the gam
a special trial in throwing the 'heav,
hammer weighing Is pounds, wa
made for the purpose Of awarding tn
prize of gold medal to Dinnie. FL

and change of climate is assigned a

a moments warning, seems to be
forgotten. There is no one to speak
for him while thousands ask for mer-
cy for the man who killed him. A
large portion of the Press join in the
petitioners. And yet, unless the
prisoners own statements against
every reliable witness on the trial are
accepted as true, he wantonly, wicked
ly and deliberately shot down in the
public streets a public officer. Those
who ask for Communication for him
have, however, no official responsible
ty, and can plead for mercy even
against the demands of justice. On
the other hand, my responsibility is
an awful one. They cannot appre-
ciate it. | realize it solemnly and
fully. A life of fellow-man is in my
hands. need not say to you, whom
| have known for so many years,
how gladly | would heed the cry for
mercy and spare his life if | could.
Ny judgment, however, tells me that
the prisoner was justly convicted of
murder, and that the interests of the
community demanded that he should
suffer the penalty. The case presents
a clear and distinct issue between
law and lawlessness. The law must
be indicated. Tell Real, therefore,
he must die on the day appointed for
his execution.
Very truly yours,

A Terrible Scene.

The great fire in Chicago was in
its height when vast pillows Of flames
were surging through portions Of the
building, sweeping everything rapidly
into a mass Of red ruin. 1t was
evident to all that the walls could
not long resist the force Of that fiery
hurricane, and that a grand crash
was at hand. Still, the men were
seen, through the red-lighted windows,
working bravely in the effort to say.
property. Orders had been given
some time before to rush in and car
ry off goods, and the orders had been
obeyed. But now it was seen that
danger was too near, and that, in a
few moments the lives Of all who had
gone within the building had been
sacrificed. The spectators became
wild with terror and excitement. One
Assistant engineer, seeing that the
heat was intense, called frantically
to the men to come out. Policeman
Brown rushed into the building, at
the imminent risk of his own life, and
loudly called to them to make their
own escape. He returned, and barely
got from the door into the street,
when the crash came. It was the
side wall between Thacher's and
FarwellS building-125 feet between
the two stores. 1t fell with one pro-
longed and deafening crash, and The
men went down with it to their fiery
graves. A wall went up from the
crowd, a strange, inde8cribable cry.
or sob, that spoke of horror and
dismay. A moment before, and the
men and boys, fifteen or twenty ol
them-some said thirty-had been
seen on each floor, with boxes and
bundles on their shoulders. In an
instant they had disappeared, crushed
beneath the ponderouS walls. and
sutfocated in the flames. Horrible tc
hear and see. The wall went clean
through to the very basement. Not
a soul escaped Of all who had been
within. The terrible catastrophe
seemed for a time to deprive people
Of their reason. Shrieks Of women
were heard from balconies where
they were standing to look upon the
dreadful scene. Men clutched one
another in a sort Of wild delirum
Several persons, horror-stricken a
the spectacle, were completely over

mors which circulated as to the mum

the walls, gave them all the way from
fifteen to fifty men. 1t was simply
impossible to tell how many wert

A Governors Reasons.

The following extract from the
letter of Gov. Hoffman, of New York,
written to the counsel of the murder
er Real who was executed, last Fri
day, in reply to a final appeal for
clemency in an extension or commuta-
tion of the sentence of death, posses
8es interest for every thoughtful
reader, in these days Of mania for
high crimes. After recapitulating
the circumstances of the foul mur-
der for which the culprit was to suf-
ter, the Governor says:
1t is now claimed by the prisoner
that Smedick had for long time
prosecuted and abused him, and had
on more than one occasion beaten
him with a policeman's club. In sup
port Of this assertion You have filed
with me several er parte afidavits.
Smedick is dead. His mouth is clos
ed, and there is no one who feels it
duty to yindicate him against the
charge. Assuming it to be true, it
does not justify or excuse the prisoner.
1t shows, however, a motive for his
crime, and that he had reason to de.
sire to be reyenged. 1t is not disput.
ed that the last occasion upon which
it is said Smedick maltreated Real
was about three weeks before Real
shot him: time enough. surely, for
the violence of passion to cool, al.
though it seems not enough for the
spirit of revenge to disappear. 1t is
now also claimed on behalf of the
prisoner, and he asserted it the day
after the murder, that Smedick came
up to him on the night in question and
struck two blows at his head with q
club, whereupon he shot him. The
prisoner not only did not assert thi:
on the night of his arrest, but the
evidence on the trial plainly con
tradicts it. You have submitted tt
me two er parte affidavits bearing OF
this point, made since the trial anC
very recently. The circumstances
under which they appear to hav,
been made, and the reasons givel
why the parties who made them dit
not appear at the trial, compel me t.
reject them as unworthy of credit

AMONG THE LEPERs.-At the call
of our faithful guide, writes Rev. DR..
Robinson in one of his letters from
Asia Minor, we arose. Refreshed
inexpressively by the pause in the
journey, we mounted our horses with
alacrity, and strung along out into
the road again. As we departed
from the town. we found ourselves
suddenly confronted among the he'd
ges of loes with a crowd of lepers.
They were crying abjectly for money,
and extending their most monstrous
deformities almost so as to touch US
with their hands. So hideous and
loathsome are these creatures that
all pity shrinks into passion of re-
coil from them. Their hands drop
ping off, finger by finger, and joint by
joint; their noses eaten away, their
lips rotted off; their voices boarse
and unearthly. their forms shrunken-

The Worst Crime of the Age.

Now that slavery is forever a6ol.
ished, the whole people should turn
their attention to an evil, if possible
more dangerous to society than sla-
very ever was. The great Difficult
ty of the situation lies in the fact that
this evil is general, being in every Sec
tion of the land. Not cross road in
the country is devoid of a liquor hell.
1t takes but few days reading to
see the enormity of this evil, if it is
not seen in the experience and obser-
vasion OF every member of society,"
Not day passes but that we are in
receipt of kilograms of "horrible mur-
ders," terrible calamitics," "appal-
ing catastrophes," &c, &C., in which,
three times in five, liquor is the prime
cause. And then not one in twenty
of these cases is reported. Every
large city in the land has its own chap
ter of crimes every night which sell
dom get beyond the locality where
they are committed unless they are
more than usually heinous. The evil,
too, is growing more and more dan
gerous continually. The chapter of
crimes grows longer nightly. The
blood of its victims cries louder and
louder every day. Family after fam
lily is bereft of It's head; young men
by the thousand are led daily into the
cesspool; and the foundations of So
ciety are threatened. And yet the
great body of the people look on with
horror and try to shut their eyes,
What is to be done? Temperance
men and women must do their duty.
This is all that is needed. There are
enough men and women in these Uni
ted States, who, in some measure, re-
alize the enormity of this evil and de-
sire its entire abolition, and if they
can be reached they will discharge
their duty. They must be reached.
When once the people are aroused
they will come down like an avalanche
upon the projectors Of this evil.-Bos-
ton Net0s.
