A NEW TRIAL REFUSED.
Sentence of the Prisoner to Death

WEsF CHESTER, Dec. 10.
Undertook was brought into court, this morn
ing, when Judge Butler gave his decision against
the granting of new trial
He said the first and fourth reasons had been
abandoned. He did not doubt the propriety OF
sending photograph to the jury to assist in
the Identification, or the letters submitted as
evidence against the competency Of Wilson as
totally inadequate, and that the one against
Nichols failed to show any prejudice.
The District Attorney noved that judgment
be pronounced.
Undertook. in reply to question whether he
had any thing to say, said by advice of counsel
he would say nothing at this time. Sentence Of
death was then pronounced against him.
The prisoner showed some emotion, while the
Judge was moved to tears.

WASBBURN AND TAYLOR
CONTRASTED.

The Milwaukee Sentinel of Wed
nesday has most excellent article
contrasting the two candidates for
Governor In this State. The differ
ence is a. day and night. On the one
hand is man vino by his own COM
manding ability and force of charac-
ter has becoa.e prominent in the
councils of the nation; on the other
is man who has achieved no epec-
ial prominence even in the Board of
Supervisors of his county over sew
eral of his fellow members. Gov.
Washburn has a fame which extends
to every hamlet in the Republic; Mr.,
Taylor is scarcely known beyond the
limits Of Dane county. Mr. Wash
burn was denouncing the credit Mo-
bilier in Congress years ago, while
Mr.. Taylor was at home wondering
what the term meant and what it was
all about. Mr...Washburn.is::th the most
feared OF all men In the State. by the
corporations-nor that he will do
them any injustice, but because he
will do exact justice between them
and the people, which is just the
thing they don't want. Mr.. Taylor
was nominated by the railroad cor
porations, because the shrewd mana
gers OF them knew that he would be
powerless to resist their transgress-
ions: however much he might be dis
posed to do do so.
In presenting Mr.. Taylor'as can
didate, the credulity of the people has
been practiced upon beyond precedent
In this State, but it will be of no
avail. The clear-headed business
men and farmers see what the proper
thing is to do, and they are going to
vote for the reelection of Gov. Wash
burn with great unanimity. Within
the past two or three weeks we have
met many of the leading men in the
Democratic party in this county, and

er straps, after the fashion of secur.
ing clothing needed in their late
summer travels. These books are
what are known as Textbooks, -
and are carried to and fro between
the school-room and the homes Of
the children, for the purpose of ena.
bling them to study between school
hours. Not long since we met a
group of young girls returning from
school, each with package Of books
SO heavy that we thought of sending
TO their relief job wagon, Here
were girls just at the time of life
when growing is rapid, and when
the v tai powers are taxed to develop
and bring into healthy action all the
functions of the body, tugging home
books for evening study. Is it right
thus to burden our girls ? 1t is not
so much the load of books that ex-
cites pity and apprehension, bnt the
knowledge that they contain, the
hard lessons which are to be studied
and puzzled over. during hours
which should be devoted to physical
exercise and recreation. Reader,
have you gi,ls at SCHOOL, If you
have, may we ask if you know much
about the nature of the studies, Or
the number they are PURSUING? Have
you carefully watched the effect of the
school regulations and studies upon
the health of your daughters? II
you have not, you are neglecting one
of the most important duties which
can possibly engage your atten-
ton.
