THE GALLOWS.
Hanging OF Two Negroes.

MEMPHIS, June 9.-The two negroes,
Harris and Rosenborough, convicted of
murder by the Crittenden county Court,
Arkansas, some time since, were hanged
to-day at Marion. There were present
twelve or fifteen hundred persons, a
majority of whom were negroes. At II
o'clock the sheriff went into the cell to
prepare them for execution when both
set upon and beat him severely. The
assistance ofa fellow prisoner was called
into requisition and when about to enter
the cell door Harris struck him fear
full blow with a brick, breaking his jaw.
At this juncture, the assistance OF five
men from this side of the river was ten
dered, and upon the approach Of the
first man Harris struck at him with an
iron bar three feet long and an inch in
width, weighing eleven pounds, which
was lodged. The others soon followed
into the cell and after severe struggle
OF five minutes both men were overpow-
cred and brought out into the hall
where, the moment they saw the light
OF the sun, they began to pray and
loudly sang-their entire demeanor
changing almost instantly. This con.
tinued while they were being tied and
till tbey reached the scaffold, whittier
they were marched between guards
armed with guns and pistols. The col
ored preachers in the meantime offering
up prayer and exhortations. Once upon
the scafFold they were asked if they had
anything to say, when Rosenborough
began speaking and continued his re-
marks in rambling and incohe-
rent manner, praying and singing
part OF the time for nearly half an hour,
and making full confession, giving the
details OF the manner in which he killed
Young Freeman merely to obtain two
revolve,s, and finally wound up by Civ
ing his hearers, particularly the colored
portion, some wholesome advice. Harris
then began in the same strain, praying
and singing at times, for thirty-tive min
utes, denying his guilt to the last. The
caps were then placed on their heads
and prayer offered, the prisoners sing
ing till the word "Amen,' when the
trap was sprung at l:3O, both men
swinging of, and after a few convulslve
shudders life was extinct. The bodies
remained suspended fourteen minutes,
when they were cut down, placed in
cotfins and carried away. Harris was
convicted of the murder of the owner
Of trading boat few miles above
Marion, and though protesting his inno-
cence to the last, it is believed he was
guilty. Just before the last prayer was
offered, Rosenborough whispered to the
colored minister, asking him to prolong
the services until sundown, intlmating
that they would be rescued by their
negro brethren. Necessary precautions
had been taken to prevent an outbreak
or rescue at the execution. Steamers
run from this city to Marion, eight
miles above, carrying about $50 persons
of all ages and cOlors.

twenty FIVE. As the 18th Of the present
month will complete the twenty-ffth
year OF the reign Of Pope Plus TX,
great anxiety prevails at the near ap
proach Of the date. 1t is proposed 10
celebrate the event with great pomp in
Rome, by the Roman municipality and
the Italian government though the
Papal newspapers discountsnance the
proceeding under the present clrcum-
stances.

Success ofthe Pennsylvania Relief AssocI-
alton.
While we hear on every hand of the Ku-klux
outrages, ii is gratifying to know of the change
of feeling by the people of the South in regard
to the Freedmen's schools and the teachers sent
out by the Northern associations. Many of these
schools have been adopted by the State authori-
ties, who frequently make application for
teachers from the North, through the associa-
tiOn, as well as pupils out of their Normal
schools, to become teachers In their State
schools, where State aid does not extend to the
freedmen, and asking that the schools NAV
continue, promising to pay two-thirds of the
expense. The following from a Lynchburg
Va.) paper will show that the authorities there
have adopted all the Lynchburg schools of the
Pennsylvania Freedmen's Relief Association:-
Mr.. Averett stated the object OF the meeting to be
to express their wishes and desires in reference to
the retention or not of the tea chers teaching
the mseves freely.
Mr.. Nicholas Butler offered the following pre-
amble and resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted
Whereas Professor J. e. Yoder, the two Misses
Whitaker, and Miss Stevens, being the teachers
sent here by the Virginia Branch A. F. u. Commits
sion, have been with us for long time, and by their
faithful and untirtng Efforts for the establishment of
schools in this city have won for them the conf
hdence and esteem Of both parents and children;
ReSolOed, That it is our wish that they may be re-
tained under the State organization that they may
continue work In which they have been so jealous
and faithful.
Robert a; Perkins offered the following, which
was adopted
Resolced, That copy OF the foregoing resolutions
be sent to the Superintendent of Public Schools as
expressive OF our wishes, and copy OF the same be
sent to each Of the teachers and of thanks to
the Pennsylvania Branch OF the A. +. U. Commits
sion, through Colonel Robert II. Corson its Cores
