The St. James Execution.

Yesterday was the day fixed by the Gov
ernor of the State of Louisiana for the exc.
cution of the three cOlored men, condemned
to death for the murder of young Frank
Menteath, in St. James parish. We have
already published a report of the details of
their terrible crime, and the proof of their
guilt. There was no reason to expect either
reprieve or Communication of their sentence,
and the law therefore, must have its course.
Many people went up Friday afternoon
to visit the execution, which was to take
place between ten and twelve o'clock YES.
terday, and undoubtedly the scene of the
execution was the theatre Of intense excite
ment, as the hanging was to be public and
the closing tragedy in the lives of murder
ers could be witnessed by all who choose to
behold it.
The names of the men condemned to
death, the warrant for whose execution was
signed by Governor Warmoth, were John
Williams, Alfred Decarreaux and Noel,
alias Madison Hampton.
Having suffered the extreme penalty of
the law, another illustration has been af.
forded in Louisiana that murderers must
expiate their ofenses by the sacrifice of
their lives.

Strength Of the W0rktngmen.
4 Z n

NEW YORK, September 13.-The working
mems procession to-day astonished all who
witnessed it by its enormous strength.
Without the least exaggeration, there was
in the streets, Notwithstanding che rain, an
army Of thirty thousand hardy men in line,
all of whom were determined to maintain
the principles that underlie the eight hour
law: One of the brigades had banner in
scribed "Peace, peaceably if we can, fOrci-
bly, if we must - and all the banners repre-
sented sentiments that show the working
men to be in earnest in this movement. The
whole affair was a formidable demonstra-
ton, full of enthusiasm, well gotten up and
energetically managed. The most curious
scene of all was the ovation by thousands
of white workingmen to the black laborers
who came up to take their place in the line.
They came along with screeching fife
and laundering drums and all Of sudden
the painters and bricklayers began to cheer.
The cOl0red men responded, and then the
thousands Of white working men took off
their hats, whirled their flags in the air
and cheered again and again. The blacks
took their places in line, and the procession
moved on, the red flag of the Information
ais attracting universal attention. Along
Broadway there we're heard cries of give
la Commune" but they were not generally
participated in by the workingmen. The at
ming is immense, and it is with difficulty
that the speakers are heard. Not single
politician is among the orators. They are
all workingmen, who can truly say that
never before has such q demonstration of
laboring men been witnessed IN America.
The meeting of workingmen terminating
the demonstration in favor of the eight
hour law was held at Cooper Institute to-
night. The hall was crowded. Alexander
TrOup. printer, denounced Tweed for sign
ing the petition of the Albany working
men, and afterward telling the commits
sioners of public works that they ought to
evade the eight hour law by putting on men
by the hour. [Hisses.] He asked Presi-
dent Grant why he told the committee of
workingmen in Washington he knew moth
ing and cared nothing for the eight hour
law! (Groans, Kisses and cries of liar.1
The present was the opportune time for
workingmen, when the respectability of the
metropolis wanted their help against the
four kings of the city [laughter], and clear
out the city hall. He asked the district at
torney to arrest and punish the Albany
commissioners for violating the eight hour
law. [Applause.l
Resolutions were passed cendemning the
officers who tailed to enforce the eight hour
law denouncing for similar offense the
heads of departments under which the new
postofice is erecting in this city, claiming
that only skilled laborers should be en-
plOyed in departments Of State, county or
city governments; protesting against con-
vict labor, and demanding that railroad,
ETC.. be conducted by the people through
their government. thereby giving the death
blow to monOpolies threatening the life of
republican institutions.

THE CITY HALL.

Yesterday Mayor Flanders gave permis
sion to Captain J. ]. Brown, of the steamer
w. S. Pike, to fire a cannon on the river in
the vicinity of Second street, with the view
of raising the body Of John j. Brown, Jr.,
the Captains son, who fell overheard from
that boat on Thursday evening last, and il
supposed to have been drowned. It ie
thought that the conclusion of the water BY
the firing Of the cannon will have the desired
effect.
WaterwOrks.
In the Waterworks Department the
clerks are busy bringing up the accounts
and preparing the annual report for the
fiscal year, which ends on the first of Sep
tember. 1t is supposed that the receipts
will amount to over $l5o.0Oo.
In this department a new and powerful
steam engine has been put up, at q cost of
over $4,000. Notwithstanding this engine
is one of great power, throwing up millions
of gallons per day, it works with a noiseless
motion, showing that the machinery has
been constructed in the most perfect man
ner.
Department Of Commerce.
Captain John Crosby, chief of wharfngers,
makes daily reports to the department of
the arrival and departure of all vessels
Department Of Improvements.
Heretofore it has been the custom with
the drivers Of drays and floats to take the
widest latitude in going to and from the
wharves. frequently, when draymen have
heavy loads to carry to or from the back
streets, they drive first to the planked
wharves, which are smooth and laid with
three inch planks, and run up or down
the wharves sometimes as far as half q
mile, getting in each others way and
annoying foot passengers who have
also business on the levee. This
habit leads to frequent alterations, in
which fights occur and dray pins are often
brought into requisition, to the detriment of
the SOULS of those who happen to be belli-
gerently inclined, and great injury to busi-
ness. To avoid this state of things the Ad.
ministrator of Improvements has inau-
gurated method of prevention. Plank
walks for foot passengers, raised
eighteen inches from the ground, are
to be laid down at the ends of
all the streets, from ST. Louis to Julia
street, which divide the wharves into Sec
tions, and efectually prevent the passing Of
drays, except in lines perpendicular to the
river. Thus dray having to take a load from
the river to Gravier street must first drive
along that street to the section on the wharf
where the load is deposited. then load and
proceed back through the same street to his
destination without being enabled to pass
to the right or left, or to interfere with
drays loading in adjoining sections. Be-
sides the elevated plank walks extending
across the batture to the wood work on the
wharves, piles are also to be driven at in
tervals Of about six feet in the planked
spaces, thus efectually preventing confu-
sion among the drays loading in the differ
ent sections. The work has already been
and will proceed with all con-
venient dispatch.
