Although clearly wrong, and in clear VIOLA
tion of every principle involved, the verdict of
murder in the second degree, in the walworth
murder case, seems to have given general salts
faction. This, at first view, sounds rather odd,
but ii is easily explained. In the mind Of the
intelligent public, it was a case of cold blooded
premeditated murder, for which the prisoner
deserved hanging, If ever a murderer did; but
to have murderer tried in New York and any
kind of a verdict given inside of thirty days
from the commission of the crime, was 80 ex-
trsordinary and 80 promising az TO satisfy q
public sentiment, which under other circum-
stances, would have demanded a verdict of
murder in the first degree. OF course, the fam
lily and friends Of the culprit were satisfied, for
they well knew that the young villain richly
deserved hanging. Besides, they doubtless ex-
pect to get him pardoned out Of the penit en-
tiary in year or two.

TIE STORM CONTINUES. 1t never
rains but it pours. It is eithsr feast
or famine. The snow it snOweth
every day. The tangled skein of hossy
crystals is woven by the fairy fingers Of
the winged dryads of the air. The sage
brush hideth it sgrey and pungent leaves
beneath the sheets and blankets Of the
Boreal king. The stormy petrels Of the
desert, the blythe snow-birds, revel in
the endless stretch of white and bound
less universe. There is superior
article of sleighing to be had. Now is
the time for dance parties and snow balls.
Now is the accepted time to cool IN
overheated mince-pie by giving it tenn
porary seguestration in snow drift.
These are days of grace to the husband
man. While the noiseless flakes are
falling is good time to cuddle up to the
old man and keep warm. The early
bird catches the worm; but who wants
to be either a hungry bird or torpid
worm these frigid mornings? There is
a great deal of weather to the square
inch just now. Our predictions about
the coming Of these storms seems almost
But we maintain our
modest, selfcompensated composure

manifested a general approval Of the
piece as presented. The original and
novel burle:ta Of Parepa Rosa is
really spirited and immensely amusing
conceit. Tcmrleton is genuinely Jimmy,
Alice Vane sings some very sweet songs,
and little Fay Tcnpleton is simply ire
mcndous aud amazing. Not to have

Hamilton, December Ex-Governor
Bradley to-day committed the sentence
of Daniel Matheney, who was to have
been hanged here next Friday for the
murder OF Green at Eureka. to i'm
prisonment for life Sheriff Patterson
commenced erecting the scafold to-day
and is not a ittla pleased at having SO
disagreeable a duty taken off his hands.
The citizens generally express satisfac-
ton with the action of the Governor.
The prisoner was much affected at the
intelligence.-Dispatch to the Enterprise.
This was, no doubt, a well bestowed
mercy. Since his conviction it has been
shown quite conclusively that Matheney
is subject to FITS of insanity or demenfia,
and that he comes by this sad failing
consenitively. Such is the burden of
certain affda,its from Oregon and else
where where the young man is known.
The Communication was not solely the act
of the Governor, of course, but of the
Board of Pardons, of which he is the
presiding officer The Executive cannot
act alone, nor can the rest of the Board
act without him.
