COmmunist Execution.

An inlescribahly shocking scene
writes O. correspondent, occurred at the
camp at Satory, during the execution Of
Preau de Wedcl, the chief of the firing
party which shot Gustav Chaudy duriug
the reign Of the Commune Although
the time OF the execution had been kept
secret, there was 4 great number OF
spectators, many OF whom yisibIy com

large body Of In'antry aud a squadron
of cavalry were drawn up on the heath
around the firing party. Soon after
six o'clock q van approached with the
prisoner. As it drove up drums
were beaten, and an escort
of cavalry led it into the
square. De Wedel descended from the
van with a firm step; and, although be
was deadly pale, he seemed quite col
lected. Ii showed no sign OF flinching,
neither was there any tendency TO
bravado. Ills CounteDanCc was pre-

assisted him to walk forward the place
where he was 10 be shot He declined
to have his eyes bandaged, and his con-
iessor gave him a long, fcrycnt en-

with emotion. When De Wedel stood
alone. he drew himself up to his
full height, raised his hat TO the
spectators, and, bowing slightly, ex-

party, ,,,he said, Aim at my heart at

officer, wishing 70 make certain OF his
death, ordered soldier to give him the

Special Dispatch 10 the Enquirer
The COnstitutiOnal Convention.

Special Dispatch 10 the Enquirer
The constitutional Convention.
CHARLESTON, April 5.-The Conven'
ton passed yesterday, by vote OF
fifty.three to seven, the amnesty pro-
vision. No vote of a truly loil' was
given in its support. The clause pro-
vides that no person engaged on either
side in the late war shall be held liable,
either criminally or civilly, or have his
property taxed under execution or other
wise for any act done in accordance with
the usages Of civilized warfare. A
clause has been adopted in relation 10
lands, which will effectually settle the
and titles Of this State, and relieve the
State OF one of the most effectual draw
backs to her prosperity ever known
within her borders. Actual possession
for ten years, and the payment Of five
years taxes are to give absolute titles.
In this the Convention has done well,
and their action is extensively ap-
plsuded.
A hot time was had in the Conven-
ton to-day. Hon. D. D. Farnsworth,
the poor mans friend. offered an
amendment to the schedule, providing
for the election Of officers under the new
constitution at different time from
that at which the vote is to be taken
on the constitution itself. He said
some very mean, outrageously lDconsis.
tent things about the motives of the
Democratic members in providing for
the election of officers on the same
day Of the vote on the constitution,
and said it was intended to secure in
that way the support for the constitn-
tional candidates of both parties. He
was answered in appropriate style by
Col. Jackson, OF Wood, and by Mr..
Paunel of Ohio. Farnsworth looked
small at the end Of the debate, and
smaller when about four or five faint
ayes responded TO his call fora division
on the votes on the question.
The church in which the Convention
is held caught fire to-day, and created
considerable alarm. No damage was
done.

CINCINNATI.
The Courier Oh the Convention.


CISCISNATI, April THE Courier,
one Of the leading German papers, in
an article on the Cincinnati Conventions
recommends that in case the tariff
reform clement in the new party would
find it impossible to come TO terms with
the protective tariff men from the East,
it should at once withdraw from the
Convention and open in conjunction
with the Liberal Democrats a mixed
reunion and reform Convention and
nominate Presidential candidates, which
the Courier supposes would then be in
dorsed by the Democracy.
Col.IU. w. Bordsoll, an old officer Of
the Mexican war, died here to day.
1t don't seem to be generally under
stood throughout the country thatthere
are to be two conventions held here,
commencing May lst, viz: the Liberal
Republican Convention, organized in
Missouri, and the Reunion and Reform
Convention, organized in Cincinnati.
/ he lUTIltI 10 Cdlitu IOi tht htpuuii
cans, while the latter embraces those
in favor OF reform from either party.
1t is thought the last named convention
will do little until they see the action
of the Liberal Republicans, and il the
platform and nominee cults them they
will ioin with them, or in case Of q
split in the Republican convention
they will endeavor to get the di.afected
Liberals to join in with them on the
platform in which general reform and
the tariff question will be the leading
features, and will probably nominate
Charles Adams and Trumbull There
is much talk and speculation here in
regard to both conventions. Some
assert that on or before the time Of
assembling they will be turned into
delegate instead Of mass conventions.
The Liberal Republican Convention
will be held in the Exposition Hall,
while :ne Reunion and Reform have
secured Mozart Hall, or in case OF
affiliation between the two conventions,
both will he held at the Exposition
Hall, which will accommodate twelve
or fifteen thousand people.

Riot AT Harlem.

CHICAGO, April Ga disgraceful and
bloody riot, in which two officers Of the
law were shot and a house burned
occurred last night at Harlem, five
miles west OF here. the affair being the
result Of an outrageous attempt by a
tax title speculator named Gossette to
oust men from property which they had
paid for. These troubles began a year
ago, by the attempts Of Gos:ctte TO
drive off the owners of the land. He
seems to have succeeded so far as to
have placed a hireling to guard the
property, furnishing him 100 rounds OF
ammunition and instructing him to
hold the place. The desperate in
charge obeyed his orders well. An
officer OF the law coming last night to
serve an Injunction on the fellow, was
shot down and will probably die The
murderer thus held the field, and when
another officer came with a posses this
morning, he fred upon them, wound;ng
another man; and not until he had
fired twice, were the shots returned,
and then it was with danger and diff.
Guilty, and after the house had been
fired by the shots, that the outlaw was
dislodged and captured.

Dewitt, the billiard champion, who was

is not a single billiard establishment a,

Remarks of Hon. Vim. McDous"ii
ON the Position OF Canada.

HAMILTON, April Hon. "llliam
McDougall, formerly a member ot the
Ottawa Governmental and late Lieutenant
Governor of Manitoba, returned here
last night. % the position OF Canada
as affected by the relations between
England and the United States, he
stated that he had, while in England,
discussed the question with Earl Gran
Vile, Mr.. Gladstone, and Mr.. Adderly,
Under Secretary for the Colonies IN the
previous government, and the conclusion
they had come to was this, that all
parties recognized the change that had
taken place in the position OF Grea'
Britain and were anxiously preparing
in every possible way to meet the new
state OF things he had been forced 10 the
conclusion that the policy was not to
abandon the colonies, nor to act so as
to drive them away from their al!e:gl
ance, but to prepare them for MAINTAIN,
ing their own position by means OF
their own right hands, and to make
them conscious that il an attack was
leveled against them they must depend
mainly, if not altogether upon their
own resources to resist failing, IN which
they must be prepared to accept the
consequences, whatever they might be,
which followed invasion, and the con
quest, Speaking for himself and speak
ing freely, frankly and truthfully, ne
was OF the opinion that union OF these
provinces was a preliminary step for
the establishment of system OF gov
ernment in British America which
would enable US when the moment
arrived and when necessity pressed
upon us to maintain seperatc and
independent existence among the ma
tions of the earth. He believed that
that idea was present to the minds Of
most, if not all OF those who took part
in carrying out that great and import
ant political change. But because
they ioresaw that which they believed
must happen; because they took initial
steps to put the country in a position to
maintain itself in case OF war, was it TO
be that they should therefore be politi-
callv opposed and condemned. lie de
MED that they were open to such con-
demnation. He saw some of the public
press had charged that they had ulterior
objects in view; that they proved them
selves disloyal to their mother country;
that they had shown themselves to be
authors of dangerous measures Of
nationality and Lord Lisgar's declara-
ton that alliance should now take
the place of allegiance as well as 10
repeated observations OF the leading
newspapers o! England to establish the
fact that what the public men of Can
ada foresaw was based upon a cores
ponding understanding OF opinion in
the mother country. The whole drift
of that opinion was that the connection
with Canada was a series of embarrass-
ments from which the mother country
should be freed as soon as possible,
and that English statesmen and the
English press discussed the question 50
universally, without being subject to
imputations of disloyalty. 1t could not
be charged against the public men in
Canada that they were wanting in 10y
atty because they recognized the actual
position OF affairs. The speakers re-
marks were frequently interrupted by
