To be Hung.

From the Louisville Ledger.
Hon y II Field the principal attor-
uey tor Michcal Shanahan, convicted of
the murder of c. " Montgomery, aud
sentenced to expiate his crime on the
gallows in this city on Friday, 26th of
April. has been untiriug IN his efforts to
secure q pardon or commutation of the
sentence Of the unfortunate man. But
the las5 hope for either has been dissi-
pated, Governor Leslie refusing to inter
pose the executive clemency in the
cuSe.
The decision Of the Governor was com
municated to Shanahan in his cell, at
the Jail. this afternoon. He received
the announcement of his doom with a
startled expression, exclaiming, "Oh,
my God But our Savior died harder
death than l will die" When he was
called to hear the decision Of the Gov
ernor he held Bible in his hand which
he had been reading before being called.
and is evidently trying to prepare his
soul for the doom from which all escape
is noY cut off.
The following is a copy of the letter of
Governor Leslie, declining 10 interfere
in the judgment of the courts, which was
addressed to Hon 4 II. Field:
STATE OF KENTUCKY,
Executive DEPARTMENT
Frankfort, KY, March 13, 1872.

ough looking over and deliberation of
Shanahan's case, feel constrained to
not Interfere in the matter of lis con
vietion, and | announce this to you at
once, in order that you may make it
known to him wthoutdelay
1t is due to him to know it, so he may
realize the awful doom that awaits him,
and make his peace with his Maker 1t
has been no easy task for me to meet
this unpleasant duty.

We have in the last fortnight several
very fine rains, and upto that time fine
sunny spell for the killing of grass and
cultivation ofthc land which was rather
hastily prepared from the latencss of the
winter season. The crops have done
splcndidly and everything looks fully up
to last years show ut this time. The Ia
Dor market is rather empty owing to q
very generally increased disposition of
thc colorcd men to hire their patches and
idle when not actively engaged in said
patches, which is only when absolutely
necessary and not always then. When
we say idle we mean idle-they do hot
even go out to the political meetings
which take place now pretty regularly.

It seems vain for the South ever to
hope for anything like fair and friendly
dealing at the hands of Northern politi-
cians.i The voice of the South has hardly
been heard in assent to the offer of Gree
ley instead of Grant when conference of
Jealous sore heads meet in New York and
try if it is not practicable to defeat the
chances of the only Yankee that the
whole'whte sonth would have endorsed /;
because he is the only prominent man
among them who is not prominently
known rs going into politics IN spirit
of trade. Finding Grant villainous
colt they offered to trade him for Gree
ley, and our prompt endorcmsent of Gree
lev causes them tu look his mouth and
examine his points once more. May he,
think they, they are taken in. No mat
ter principle is it with them.
Theonly way to deal with these people is
entirely outside of principle asyou would
horse trader. Judge for your self and
make your offer. In this case we trade
for Greeley OIL principle, we prefer
him to Northern democracy and
Southern radicalism, we want him
and they either give him to us or take
Grant. Let the Baltimore Convention
(by all means the Southern part of it)
with one voice say this. "Let us have
Greeley orwe give you back Grant"
AZ for Charles Francis Adams he would
not beat policeman outside of Massachu-
sets. Greeley is our man-they can not
offer another reliable and available politi-
cal man. They may have others honest
but they would run very light. The
North does not very much herald honesty
PER sE. Greeley We can count on, he
gives us all we can demand, without the
demand; we simply assent with dignity,
devoid of arrogance. We are glad to
see that the political slate Of the conven-
ton showed market balance in favor of
our man Horace Greeley

You talk bravely about paying ten times

The Exodus to Europe What Amcri-
cans Spend Abroad.

The New York UraH calls attention
to the increased exodus of fashionable
Americans this year to Europe. The
cabin accommodations of the II steamers
per week which leave New York for
Europe are booked up TO near the end of
August. These steamers carry $50 cabin
passengers each, or l,S00 per week, for,
say, seventeen weeks, giving an aggre
gate for the summer of 10000 outward
bound cabin passengers. If each Of
these passengers spends on the steamers
and in Europe only $1,000, it would
make for the whole host for the season
the handsome total of $30,600,000 ex-
pended by Americans in Europe in
pleasure-hunting. The aggregate, how
ever, is far greater. Fifty millions per
annum would be low estimate We
also purchase about $l50,OOO,OO0 more
of European wares than Europe pur-
chases of our own productions, paying
the difference in either coin, bonds or
products shipped to other countries.

Power of the Press SS-The Era of Ed.
itOrS.

IT anything were needed To indicate
the power which the press has attained
all over the world, sufficient authority
is afforded 10y the prominent position
and personal influence of journalists
who mingle in public affairs 1t is trite
to allude to Theirs or Gladstone. If the
journalists of France were in better re
pute rs class, the destinies of the
country would be wholly in their hands
But even under the Empire, the lead
ing editors were the men whom Louis
Napoleon sought to conciliate by gifts
of Office; and Provost Paradol earned
his ambassadorship by his editorials in
tn" ,Io,rnal dcs DebdtS. In Germany the
editors era has not arrived but Bis
marck knows their weight so we'll that
he owns Il paper in London US well as
all the influential writer's ut home. In
st. Petersburg, the journalists are rap
idly forming political aristocracy. out
of which they send diplomatists like
Catacazy, with more craft than charac
ter. In London every politician of note
essays political article now and then
for his tavorite paper, and if Granville
does not send leaders on the Treaty of
Washington to the Times in his own
handwriting they are furnished in that
of the clever Bohemian who is his Sec
retary. In Ireland, every revolutionist
of note is an active or an honorary
member of II newspaper staff. In the
United State editorial force and bril-.
liancy have well-nigh revolutlonlzed
parties. The Cincinnati movement was
the progression of editors. An editor,
Carl Schurz, was its presiding officer.
Grosvenor, an editor, was its Temporary
chairman, and Pulitzer, an editor, was
its chief secretary. Horace White, an
editor. wrote its platform and directed
its rhetoric in general, and his pen will
undoubtedly have weight in like man
ner at Baltimore if it was quite without
it at Philadelphia. William Cullen
Bryant, f. l.. Godkin, Samuel Bowles,
editors, and Edward Atkinson. writer
for the press, were its chief seceders.
Henry Watterson, editor, was its prin-
cipal wag; George Alfred Townsend,
correspondent, the only delegate repre-,
senting an entire State; and its nomi-
nees are both editors. The platform of
the Philadelphia Convention was writ
ten by an editor, George William Cur
It's, and read by an editor, Gen. j. Il.
Hawley. The temporary chairman was
an editor, Morton MacMichael; the
only two candidates for the Vice Presi,
dency were editors, Colfax and Will
son.-C Chicago Post.
