Hung for Numbering his Moth

BUFFALO, September 6.-Atnoon
to-day Patrick Morrisey oXpiated
the crime of matricidc ON the gal
lows in the Jail yard. At Ills A..
NJ, in company with the deputy
sheriff, Morrisey passed around the
corridors of the jail, bidding fare
well to the prisoners in confine-
ment. When opposite the cell of
John Gaffney, also sentenced to be
hanged on the 9th instant, both of
the doomed men broke out into
loud sobbing. Morrisey pleaded,
as his last dying request, that Calf
ney's cell might be opened, and
that he be permitted to embrace
him. The sheriff complied, and
GlGney walked quickly into the
hall, where ,he. was firmly clasped
by Molrisey, both men kissing and
with each other, On the
scallold, Morrisey read, in clear,
firm voice, brief address, admit
ting his crime, but declaring that
he had no knowledge of what he
did, and warning those present to
beware of intoxication, and shun
evil associations.

Suspension of "a Bunk.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, September,
4.-COnsiderable excitement was
produced amongst the depositors in
the Peoples Bank of Nashville this
morning, by the announcement of
the suspension of that institution.
The immediate liabilities are re-
ported at $4,000, whilst its assets,
which will nearly all be ultimately
available, amount to $4,000. The
bank has been placed in the hands
of 6. Z. Thurston as trustee. The
depositors generally are persons OF
small means. q A partial payment tc
them is promised in 30 days. q 1t is
expected that the bank will be able
to pay 10 cents on the dollar.

Walter l.. Stevenson, Vive Pres
ident of Greeley & Brown club in
Carteret county, North Carolina,
was assaulted and stabbed by some
unknown rufTians, on the night of
the ID. However since he was not
n United States official or negro,
the administration papers have not
rs yet announced it as the work Of
X. X. X. ..'.
What a faculty Radical papers
have of making political matter out
of every murder or other fiendish
crime committed in the Southern
States, providing the victim is a
member of its party. The reason
is evident. Facts, as campaign
materials, are scarce, political SEN
sation matter is made out of every
crime committed in the South, for
the purpose, and with the hope, of
winning back and dcceiving those
honest Republicans who are now
opposed to the Administration par
ty and its vile doings in the South.

Both Democrats and Republicans
should enter into this campaign to
fight for the principles Of govern
ment which Washington admins
tered and Jefferson sanctioned
They are slaves in opinion as they
will be in body ere long if they do
not. 1t is now Grantism and des-
potism against patriotism and IA
tionalism. Which would the pso-
pie wish to win!

Burglars Hung.

NASHVILLE, Sept. 5.-On Mon
day night a number of houses in
Athens were entered and robbed Of
watches and jewelry. Wednesday
night the same thing occurred at
Florence. The burglars were pur-
sued and captured some twenty-five
miles from Florence and the stolen
property of both places recovered.
The two burglars and a man named
Clark, found with them, suspected
Of arson, were taken to Florence
and hanged this morning III the

Just So.

The Grant press claim that near
ly the entire German vote of Mich
iSan will bc cast in favor of Gen.
Grant at the November election
They have doubtless counted with
out their host. The following ex-
tract from one of our exchanges
will show how the Germans of
Michigan ego for Grant,
"Seven of the eight German pa
pers of Michigan are out for Gree
ley and Brown. Before the cam
paign is over Henry Wilson, the
Grant candidate for Vice President,
will find what he termed the drunk
en- Dutch a power in the land when
the votes are counted in Noyem-

And this is not only the case in
Michigan, but it is alike through
out the country, go where you may

In September, 1871, Senator
Henry Wilson, now candidate for
Vice President on the Radical Re-
publican ticket, gave the following
opinion of Horace Greeley:
Horace Greeley, at sixty years
Of age, is the best preserved man,
physically and mentally, there is to
be found anywhere, and he has done
more hard work than any two men
You can mention. Do you want to
know the reason? 1t is because he
has taken care Of himself. He
don't stuff himself with rich food
he don't drink hot coffee and eat
ice cream together; he don't inGamo
his stomach with hot condiments
and liquors; he don't spit his life
away in chewing tobacco, nor puff
it away with pipes and cigars. Be
sides, competence has a good deal TO
do with II. Greeley's conscience
is all right, even If he don't sup
port Grant for recollection.

A Miserable Deception.

Mr.. EDITOR:
Some unprincipled persons, resi-
ding in Alpena, and purporting to
be land agents, have, without pos
sessing the slightest knowledge OF
the farming lands in Pressure Isle
county, been procuring homosteads
for poor Polanders on route for
Rogers City, by waylaying them in
passing through Alpena. No less
than eight have this day been to
my office to try and rectify the eff
fects of their credulity. These
persons have been located on lands
that were worthless, being entirely
swamp, while thousands of acres of
hard wood lands remain
yet Indicated. In each case they
have been charged s. for their pa
pers, my fees for the same being 81,
and good land guaranteed. ..
FRED'C DENNN-LARKE,
County Clerk, Pressure Isle Go.
