SINGULAR AFFAIR.

Ate mpted Reconsideration OF an Executed
Murderer.
Bernard Scop was hung at Norwalk, Ohio, on
the Sd instant, for the murder of o man named
Jacob Goodman. AS soon as the body was cut
down an attempt was made In the presence OF
the officials to restore the hanged man to life.
The intent of the law to deprive the murderer
of his existence seems to have been entirely lost
sight of, and the efforts to bring the wretched
creature back into this breathing world were as
earnest as but a few minutes before had been
the determination to send him out of 1t. A cor
respondent of the Cleveland Leader thus reports
this singular affair."
The body was carefully lowered to the floor.
Sponges at the end of a wire communicating
with a battery we're rubbed over his body, aud
at times quick convulsive movements of the
limbs were visible. The sponge was placed 10
his hand, and he grasped ii so tight that 1t
was Withdrawn with the greatest diff.
Guilty. Pressures were made on the chest
and sides to induce respiration, aud the
breathless spectators looked on with awe,
doubling whether death would remain
master of the body in the face of the scientific
applications. 1t was at first surmised that the
neck was not dlsiocated, and a full examination
gave no convincing proofs on this point. The
back and neck were rubbed for fifteen minutes
and the attempt to revive was then abandoned.
The clothes were again placed on the corpse, ii
was put in the coffin and the remains
quietly inferred In the Norwalk Cemetery. Mr..
G.. NJ. q. Prentice, a student in the Charity Col
lege of Cleveland, was very active in the
attempts to restore the corpse 10 life.

every citizen is by the new constitution
compelled to pay certain amount OF
tax fixed by legislative enactment. If
this is not intended as an abridgment of
the right to vote, then why make II con-
dition ? 1.-THE purpose be to collect rev.
enues only for defrayipg the expenses of
the government and paying the State
debt, we regard II as exceedingly wrong
for those who would vote to be compelled
bear the burthen Of the tax.
1t is time that every man under the
protection Of the laws Of the State should
pay a tax for the benefit of such protec-
tor. But why make it precedent to
votipg2 There is certainly power suffi-
cient in the arm of the law to compel
everybody TO pay the assessments made
upon them. Money is only the repre-
sentative of wealth, and whether man

It's equivalent in money, before voting, it
