lao to-day an attempt was made 10
hang one Wade, but the rope was too
long. and he touched the ground. The
rope is now being shortened for auoth-
er trial, Wade told the jailOr to hurry
up. rs he had an appointment to dine
in hell with the devil at o'clock, He
said the only thing troubling him is
whether the people he murdered are
in Heaven or hell.
The rope being too long his feet struck
squarely on the ground. In this po-
sition he remained shouting, "Oh
Lord, have mercy" The rope came
off his neck and his body fell over
heavily on the ground. He was car

LANES RROORS.

The death of this gentleman was
announced by telegraph yesterday. The
sad event transpired in Washington on
Wednesday evening at eight o'clock.
II viii he remembered that some four
weeks ago announcement was made
that Mr.. Brooks died at the south en-
route Tor Florida or Cuba. Premature
rs this was, it was productive of at least
this good, that the deceased journalist
aud statesman was able TO realize how
high the esteem was in which he was
heldby all classesofhis eountrymen, not
withstanding the Credit MobilieT affair
Mr.. Brooks was a veteran journalist,
and, with his brother Erastus, who still
controls it, was the founder of the New
York Eppress. He was a native Of
Maine, but had long been a citizen Of
New York city, and has been a member
of several successive legislatures, and
Of congress constantly from the thirty
ninth to the last congress, from the city
OF his residence. He was until the
breaking out of the war Whig, but
then became a Democrat, and was ae-
counted a man Of considerable sbility.

Governor Brown could not have selected
4 citizen of Tennessee more admirably
well fitted for the place, or one who will
discharge its functions with a greater
degree of prudence, watchful care, and
sound discretion. In fact the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Burch insures such a faith
ful and energetic execution Of laws af-
fecting the State finances that his as
sumption of the duties of the position

Ohio Epi.eonai Convent,on

CLEVELAND, o., May 1.-The north
western convention of the Episcopal
church met in this city yesterday morn
ing. Bishop Bedel, presiding bishop,
made statement of the condition and
prospects and needs of the various mis-
sionary stations within the bounds of the
convention, and spoke of the many
grand openings for work in this direc-
ton. Resolutions were offered and re-
ferred to the executive committee to in
crease the missionary work of this con-
vention at least fifty per cent. for the
coming year, and requesting the rectOrs,
wardens and vestry of each parish to use
their best efforts to secure and remit to
the treasurer an amount equal to the
conventional assessments of said parish,
also approving the recommendation of
the bishop that the new work of the
convention should be as far as possible
in the direction of assistance to church
building. Rev. DR.. Washburne offered
the following resolutions. which were
adopted:
ResolUed, That this convention
strongly disapproves either by addition
or omission by any of its missionaries of
any portion or portions of the prayer
book as appointed to be used in public
worship; the Interpolation in the SER
vice of the church of any prayer other
than those to be found in the prayer
book; the inviting or permitting of per-
sons who have not received episcopal
ordination to officiate as minister or in
any Office in any of cur churches or ac-
customed places of worship, and the
violation in any other way of the ru-
brics of the canons of the church,
Resolved, That the preaching and
teaching of the distinct principles and
doctrines of the church, the upholding
of all its claims, the enforcement of the
superiority of the orders, and the faith
ful observance of all the promising of
the prayer-book, must form parts of any
policy which can be successful in build
ing up and maintaining the church in
any mission or region. m
The convention then adjourned.

INDiANAPOLIs, May f.-The Indiana
State Editorial association met at the
house Of representatives this morning.
The first business OF the convention was
the address Of the president, q. j. Ions
dale, Of the Greencdstie Banner, in
which he discussed, among others, the
following subjects: First, the necessity
Of legislative enactments for establish
ing rates for what is known as legal adj
vertising, and also itemiZed the publica-
fiOns of allowances made by courts,
county commissioners, school trustees,
etc, IN two papers of each county, rep
resenting rival political interests; con-
demning the advertisements from large
cities i'm the shape OF correspondence,
the commercial matters which
were artfully sandwiched between items
of news paragraphs, gossip, etc, as such
advertisements were frauds upon the
reader; acquiescing in the congressional
enactment stopping the free exchange
OF periodicals through the mails, and
the free delivery Of papers to subscribers
in the county where published, although
il looks like blow in retaliation because
the press advocated the aboiishment OF
the free ranking system; and condemn
ing the literary notices prepared by book
publishers and printed as original. Inc
balance Of the day was occupied IN the
discussion OF the various matters per
tanning particularly to the interests Of
country press. The country papers are
generally represented.

the association, delivered an address on
