thing it was to so drive an axe down into
the head of sleeping beings. He seemed
more. anxious to leave the impression up
on the ministers mind the horror he felt
at the deed than to talk ofshis own spirit

praying, and would Strive to be prepared
for death, and that he supposed that it
would come The fitness of the minister's
words seem row. in viewlof tile terrible
scene so. soGn to be enacted, strikingly
significant and appropriate. - : :;
After describing the breaking open of
the Jail, as given in our dispatches yester-
day, the LEDGE. says:
All three were then ,pinioned, and the
terrible death rope, with a hangman's
moose already prepared, was placed round
their necks, and by this they were led
forth from the prison, escorted ON either
side by parties who answered to their
number as called by their leader to do
duty. They closed the door of the Jail
behind them, and ordered those who had
been witness of their work as prisoners to
remain in the JAIL as they meant not to
be interfered with by alarming the village,
and they proceeded back by the street and
road in which they had come, dragging
with them the pinioncd negroes at a
double quick pace
I CONDUCT OF THE VIGILANCE.
While the vigilants were in the village
and at work at the Jail, they used no pro-
fame language, INDUCED in no threats,
and refused to say more than was neces-
sary to their work and to silence the pro-
tests of the persons who were. present.
Their work seemed to be all planned
with accuracy, and they carried it out
without an incident of any kind to inter
fere. Many Of the citizens of tire place
must have been awakened by the terrible
laundering blows against the jan Doors,
but no one appeared in the streets or of
fered to resist In fact, it would have
been useless, unless an organized- party
had prepared to capture the hand, which
could not have been done without a
bloody fight. We were surprised at the
GOODNESS OF THE OFFICERS oE TIE LAW
upon this trying occasion. Sheriff Baxter
once escaped out of the back door and
shouted fire three times, when he was
overhauled in his attempt to give the
alarm, with the firmly spoken words
No more of that" and led bick to sur
vey the demolition of the pnson-doors
There were more than dozen of persons
who witnessed these proceedings, but
were powerless to resist, and were CLOSELY
guarded. The family of Mr. Long mani
tested an intrcridity and tirmness annie
the exciting scenes around them that wa.
remarkable. There was no noisy excite
ment of any kind, the vigilants pursuin.
, their work with steadin6ss, and the par
ties present looked on, powerlesss toi op
, pose the armed men that held them rfis
oners. One gentleman was observed t.
: be giving close inspection to one who's
: mask had fallen, and was speedily dis
: committed in the attempt The cntie
{ tone, from the entrance of the party int
the prison until they departed with thei
: prisoners, was Just an hour and te
minutes, lca.ing the prison at forty mir
: utcs past two.

had taken lodgings al the Jail, begged to

SWINGING THEM UP.


Not having suffered ourselves to 90 in
side of the lines of the guard in their
journey to the woods, we can give but
brief account of what occurred immedi-
had been the movements of the Vigilants

interrogating the victims, and it is only
possible that any report will ever be made
of the exact details of the affair. We
could hear from our position no plead

commands of the leader We're obeyefas if
there was a specified, measured moment
for each act, and as successfully the ter
rible command went forth, "Up with him"

of the feet, the swaying to and fro of the
crowd and the mingling of half-subdued
voices. 1t was a scene of terror thai har-

feel constrained to forbear if we could re-
port every act and word in detail

country, the President will abide by the
decision of lis constituted authorities, and
we know well that he will use no impro-
per means to influence that decision.
When the facts come to be known it will
appear that these gentlemen who are cry
ing out against the imperial dictatorship at
the White House, have had small cause of
complaint Their cries are not those of
the wounded, but the complaints of men
who having no great griefs, seek the
reputation ofmartyrdom without its pangs.
To obtain it they have been dictatorial,
unreasonable, and overbearing towards the
President. They have cut off, officially,
communication with him to gain an ap-
pearance of persecution and the prestige
which it gives. Unable to rule, they have
sought to ruin. They will fail. San Do
mingo will not divide the Republicans, nor
will opposition to it enable any man to Sc
cure the next Republican nomination for
the Presidency. Neither open attacks, nor
base subterfuges of politicians, will shake
the faith of the people in the unpretcnti-
GUS and genuine manhood Of the President.
Against all the carpings Of disappointed
office-seekers, or the plots of prospective
candidate, are the great facts of his admin
istion. sat rt.-
A triumphant credit, a rapidly reduced
debt, an Iudian policy humane and sue
cessful, the execution of the laws, the
faithful collection of the revenue, sound
currency, the respect Of all nations-these
are the fuIfillment Of a peoples hope
Pointing to these they viii yet arise in
their majesty, and vindicate their own
healthful instincts aud the President OF

THE TWO HUNDRED DOLLAR
DODGE

We averred yesterday, and it is quite
apparent to the most casual "looker-on in
VIENNA" that the offer made by General
Mahone's "friends" to give two hundred
dollars per share for the States interest in
the Richmond and Petersburg road, is
all "bosh"-a mere trick to delay and per-
haps prevent the perfection of fany legisla-
tion on the important and vital subject
now before the Senate.
We were this morning fully confirmed
in this view of the matter by remark
made in the House of Delegates by Mr..
Wood 1.-THE Generals "best man" in that
body. The Orange and Alexandria road
was under debate. There was a question
of disposing of the States interest therein,
among other things when Mr.. ". said
be was convinced there soould be no leg,s-
lation this session authorizing the sale Of
the State stock in any road.
This utterauce coming from the source
1t did, proves the two hundred dollar offer
to be base shanl-a cunning dodge to
betray the friends of the bill in the Senate
into voting for an amendment whereby 1t
would be thrown back iuto the House and
defeated.
We counseled yesterday-and we repeat
now-tha the friends of the measure must
be constantly on their guard. Every bush
conceals an enemy Every amendment or
alteration offered to the bill, no matter how
advantageous it may be made to appear,
will be for the purpose of defeating it,,
through return to the other House. Re-
jsct, ,remorselessly,the 5000 proposition and
other tricks. Fight il right out in the
Senate,--line by line and word by word
and end the matter there. Save the State
at any cost from the embrace of this South
side constructor, now endeavoring to envel-
ope us In his glittering folds, that he may
crush us to DEATH

THE news from Paris which we publish
to-day, is of the most exciting character.
The mob which rules Paris seems to be of
the most depraved and blood-thirsty sort.
Three French generals of renQgn have
been treacherously deserted by their troops
and murdered by these wretches, The
scenes of the "Revolution" seem to be
re-enactng there.
The National Guard has turned traitor
to the government. We fear that nothing
but the prolonged occupation of France
by the German armies can save her from
bloody civil war.
The ostensible cause of this outbreak
seems to be opposition to the Assembly.
In its madness it attacks all semblance Of
order or government. come whence it
may. Its blind unreasoning force admits
Of no discrimination. Friend and foe are
alike the victims of its revolving cruelty.
For us in America these terrible expert
ences of unhappy France teach a lesson
we may we'll heed. In our great cities
and elsewhere we are nurturing vast
mass of savagery and ferocious barbarism.
We are appalled, by its extent, and look
at it afar off, lest by contact we should be
deGled. We leave it to the ameliorating
Influences of time. We allow it to make
accessioDs by the thousands every year, by
native births and foreign inportations,
until now we dare not count the savages
of our cities. of our mines, and of our
rural districts. Beneath us is the same
volcano, sleeping but potent with ruin,
which to-day belches out fire and blood
over France.
1t is an ignorant and neglected popu-
lace, which to-day squares the long ac-
count with those who have shut out from
darkened souls the light of knowledge,
| A warning comes to us in tones of thun-
der from the frowning battlements and
seething faubourgs of Paris. 1t tells us
to educate all the children, as the highes,
duty of the State; to seek out and care
for every ignorant and neglected child; tc
open to all the highway of happiness ant
usefulness through knowledge and attrac
tive labor So shall we bless the lane
| with peace and good will forever!

OUR CITY AFFAIRS.
Tremendous and Astonishing Cx-
penses!
THE BONDED DEBT INCREASED OVER
S66s,O0OiI
CURRENT EXPENSES LAST YEAR HAIs-A-
MILLIoNill

The City Council held one of its regular
meetings yesterday evening, at which was
read the first annual message of Hon. A. N.
Kelley, Mayor. This document, doubtless
truthful and candid in all respects, and made
up mostly of official statements furnished by
other officers of the municipal government,
presents fearful exhibit of the pecuniary de-
moralization of the corporation under the
auspices of the present Council and its adjuncts.
The city finances and credit have been brought
to the lowest ebb by their manipulation, and
the bonded debt increased over $669, 900, and
extraordinary (li) expenses have been incur
red amounting to S1,l14 ,050 II The current
expenses for last year were half million ~
The tax payers saddled with the annual pay.
ment of 5,207 as interest on the additional
indebtedness incurred by the new Councilili 10
What effect will Mayor Keiley's Wholesome
suggestions" about "reform, retrenchment and
economy" have on the men who have piled up
this mountain Of indebtedness2 And how
many years of-the rule Of such men would
suffice to sink any corporation beyond redemp-
ton? Will the people stand this sort of thing
long7
These Fearful exhibits present food for
reflection to all. What is the character of the
machinery for the expenditure of these vast
sumsf Since our local taxes are the heaviest,
should not our local legislators be selected with
at least as much care as State and National
officers? Richmond is not as wide a field as
Virginia, nor Virginia as the United States,
and the honor that attaches to Office is corres-
pondingly limited but to the people who pay
the taxes there is something besides the honors
of Offices to be looked after.
The facts presented demand the careful con-
sideration of every taxpayer. The subject is
one that comes home to every person, because
everybody is taxed directly or Indirectly. The
food we eat, the clothes we wear, the water We
drink, and the light We read by at night are
taxed, and whoever pays these taxes, foots
Keiley's message, and the serious reflection
engendered thereby.
