No less than four executions took place
last Friday, two In North Carolina, one In Flo

c., Wm. B. Parker, white farmer, was banged
on that day for the murder OF Thomas fri2e, o
colored mau, about year ago. The crime was
committed in a peculiarly brutal manner.
Price had set fire TO O barn belonging
to Parker, who was greatly incensed
thereat, and swore that he would have
terrible revenge. Accordingly he seized
Price, extorted from him a confession, and
then set four bloodhounds upon him. The

An account has already been given in this
column of the new political complication in
England. arising out of reported alliance
between the tories and the workingmen. 1t
would now seem, from later adVices, that al

on, no formal union has been effected, and the
several parties whose signatures have been
secured are far from perfect agreement.
There Is no doubt that the tories would gladly
combine with almost any element IN order to
obtain greater power, bat they do not relish
the platform which has been constructed for
the Joint accommodation of the peers and pro-
letarlat. The principles included in 1t are
quite liberal, and point to the amelioration OF
the masses BIZ means Of reduction OF the
hours of labor, more comfortable habitations,
q better system OF education, &C.; but Tue
peers are, apparently, unable to make even
this concession, and one of the most influen-
tial leaders. Lord Salisbury, Is reported to
have rejected the scheme with emphasis. The
workingmen are disaffected as well, and the
success OF the project Is at present problemati-

reminence, and will compel the different par
ties to pronounce an opinion upon them. Al
ready the papers are discussing the new idea
with an unwonted yehemence.
