HGrantis,l, Described.

From The. Catholic Telegraph, Maya.
An Administration that will be dis
tinguished from all that have preceded
it, and We hope from all that will follow
1t, by unparalleled abuse of power, by
universal misrule and official corruption,
extending from the Chief Magistrate to
the lowest official, has produced one re-
suit of great good in awakening the
people of this country to full con-
sciousness ef the danger which threat
ems not only the present prosperity but
the very life of the republic. We have
reached, by the fragrant dishonesty, the
pitiable imbecility, the infamous nepot-
ism of our present Government, the
verge of the precipice beneath which
liesmost assuredly total destruction
Worse, more dangerous than all, the
dark horrors of our late civil war, has
beenithe iniquitous course of the Grant
Administration, of which it is difficult
toSsay whether its unsurpassed knavery
or, its unequalled folly has done the most
injury. Certainly, under its direction
and control the republic has suffered
greater detriment and republican prin.
ciples have received deeper wounds
than have ever before been inflicted
Self government has gradually disap
peared until it has been completely
swallowed up by a systematic central
ism enthroned in the person of man
who seeks fer denomination and re.
election only to secure longer contin.
nance in public robbery. The glamour
which his military success threw around
him, concealed during the first years OF
decentralization from the eyes of ri;
own political party the plot of self-ag-
graEdizement which unlimited fraud.
and distupendous briberies were weaving
Gradually, however, the hideous spec
tacle of the whole National Govern
ment, reeking With crimes that mocket
Investigation aad laughed at punish
ment, has been breaking into light. The
crafty concealment of political fayerit
ism finally failed on account of tn,
ubiquity of the corruption.

A SINGULAR MARRIAGE.-A curious
marriage has just taken place in one of
the Partisan churches. The bridegroom,
while marrying his bride, was utterly
unable to give her his hand. The reason
was that he had no hand left (nor right
either to extend to her. 1t was fortu-
nate that it was not the bride who was
in this condition, as the service would
have had to be dispensed with on ac-
count of the ring formality.
The fact of the case was that the
brave Gen. Sumpt, the bridegroom, had
lost both his hands in the battle of
Freschwiller. He had been ordered to
carry message of the greatest immedi-
ate Importance to another part of the
battlefield, and just as he gathered up
the reins of his horse in both hands, a
shell burst and deprived him of both of
them at the same instant. Since then
he has been made General and com
mander of the Hotel des Invalides, al
though this place had been formerly
abolished. 1t is said, however, that
some genius has made him couple of
iron hands which serve so well, mechan-
ically, that he can even write his name
with one of them. IL doesn't make
much difference what member of the
body is lost owadays-science can
supply it.

Execution of a Woman.

A letter from Toronto, Canada, dated
June 20, says: The execution of Mrs.
Phoebe Campbell, convicted of the
murder of her husband, in July last,
took place in private manner at the
jail here to-day. The condemned woman
walked from her cell to the scaffold,
pinioned, and without assistance, her
step firm, her countenance rudy and
healthful, and her whole demeanor that
Of person in good spirits, satisfied with
herself and all around her.
On the scaffold her clergyman made a
statement corroborating her last con-
fession, and bidding farewell to all, and
advising all to take warning from her
unfortunate position, and requesting all
to meet her in Heaven. The drop fell
at S:27 a. m. The rope was apparently
too long, as her feet nearly touched the
ground, though her neck was instantly
broken, and she died without struggle.
Her paramour and supposed accomplice,
Coyle, is in prison awaiting trial. In her
confession she accused him of COM
hitting the murder, but admitted that
she was his accomplish.
