This bill as 1t has passed the House is
Of suoh character that the most igno.
rant member OF the General Assembly
must see clearly that there is something
rotten in it. Rumors are current, more
or less authenticated, that from 5000
to $15. 900 was expended to get the in.
crease of the appropriation for the
Penitentiary from $4,000 to $50. 600.
It was, to say the least Of it, a very sud-

required some powerful fundamentally
to effect it. The rumors to which we
have referred will be credited in the
absence of any other explanation. The

A Card.

To The Editor Of the Daily Ph@n,a:
notice in the columns of the PHG-
NIX, of yesterday. an appeal from B. F
Griffin to the citizens of Ward of this
city, in which he charges the Columbia
Water Power Company of "tsing their
power against the interests Of the citi-
zens of that Ward;" meaning thereby to
convey the idea that We were endeavor-
ing to control the politics Of that Ward.
Whatever may have been his motive for
publishing such statement, I simply
pronounce the charge to be false. The
attempts which are being made to drag
the Columbia Water Power Company
into the political affairs of this city, is
part of the clap-trap used by unsorupu-
lous politicians to further their own pur-
poses. IF Mr.. Gsi@a: Z. :::= =o::.oa.
TO be reelected, has made mistake Of
this kind and been defeated, that is q
matter Of his own. The Columbia
Water Power Company have no candi.
dates for Mayor and Aldermen in the
coming election, and as large tax-pay-
ers. are only interested in having good
city government.

LENT. --As the Lenten season is here,
the church warns all her children 70
pray and fast during period Of. forty
days. SAckcloth and aehes .ss:.. aoT
be donned by the faithful. and their
purple and fine linen be css. ss;de.
Prayer and good works shall tnke the
place Of revelry and merry-making, and
all occasions partaking Of pomp and
magniHcence are ordered to be dispensed
with. The season of Lent has always
been observed by the Christian Church
as most solemn fast. On many &C.
counts, the great ecclesiastical law which
orders the observance OF the Lenten
season is most venerable.
Its antiquity and the universally with
which at the present day it is observed
in every Christian community, render it
especially venerable. In tracing the
fact of its antiquity, this fast is men
toned in the councils through every
age. Ecclesiastical writer's in every CEN
tury have spoken of the observance of
Lent in manner which indicates the
fact that in former ages, the strict OBJ
servance Of the season of Lent was re-
garded by the Christian people in the
light Of a most sacred duty, and the
monuments and records of the Chris.
tian Church evidently tend to carry it as
high as any suoh monuments are extant
that is, to the time when the disciples
of the apostles were living and govern
ing the chief sees.
Daille, one of the most famous of
French Calvinists. attacked the observ-
anco of Lent in his writings in @ man
ner which, at the time. tended greatly
to detraot from it's very strict obselv.
ance. In the end, however, he was
compelled to admit the fact that the
Lenten season had existence even as far
back as the fourth century, and that it
bad always been observed since that
time.

Important Liquor Decision.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 29.-Judge
Buskirk, of the Supreme Court, this
morning delivered an opinion in the case
of the appeal of Jerry Farrell against the
State of Indiana, from the Hamilton Cir
cult Court, in which case in the lower
court the appellant was fined for selling
liquor to an intoxicated person. The
judgment of the court below was revers.
ed. The opinion applies the same rule oi
construction to that section of the Baxter
bill which imposes penalty for selling
liquor to habitually intoxicated persons,
as was applied to the law Of 1868. in re-.
gard to selling liquor to minors. If the
State proved that the defendant from his
personal acquaintance with the party ap.
plying for the liquor, a knowledge of his
habits, or from the indications apparent
when the man asked for the drink, was
possessed of sufficient facts to make the
subject one of inquiry, then the case was
made out, but if the defendant could
show that from lack OF knowledge OF
these conditions he sold the liquor in
good faith, he was not liable to prosecu-
ton from the sale in the case appealed.
There was no evidence adduced by the
State to show that the defendant was SO
possessed of these facts, and the judg-
ment is therefore reversed.

Execution at CLEVELAND. .

CLEVELAND, April 29.-Hood was ex-
ecuted to. day, the Governor having re-
fused to grant respite. The execution
was conducted in the county jail, in
presence of small number of spectators.
During the reading of the death warrant
and the brief service that followed the
unfortunate man manifested little emo
tion. When asked if he had anything to
say he replied in the negative. After a
selection from the Psalms had been read
and brief prayer offered, Hood pro-
ceeded calmly to shake hands with all on
the scaffold, bidding each farewell. he
was then directee to step on the trap and
did as directed, testing its strength by a
slight spring. While the sheriff was ad-
justing the moose about his neck and
oiher officers were fastening his limbs, he
stood gazing complacentlY ct the specta-
tors. turning his head to accommodate
the rope as the sheriff adjusted it. at
six minutes before twelve o'clock. the trap
was sprung, allowing the body to fall six
feet In thirteen minutes the pulse ceased
to beat, and in twenty minutes the body
was lowered. Examination showed that
the neck was broken.

says, speaking Of his rupture with Sena-

called on him and requested in their name
his completely in frauds sufficient to carry
the State in their interest. When he re-
fused directly they offered him as the
price of his completely the U. 8. Judge

He repeats his assurance that he will
abide by the decision Of the Legislature,
which he has convened, and which he
says the Supreme Court has decided is

Brooks, on tho contrary, says the Leg.
islature can only decide the question oi
who is Governor when 1t is presented TO
it by contest. It can't count or recount
the vote on its own motion. l don't pro
pose to have anything to do with the
Legislature, nor can recognize the right
OF Baxter to call it without recognizing
him as Governor. This will not do.

courts cheerfully, and | have appealed
the case in order to bring it before the
Supreme Court at the June term.

TIE prophecy of the Latin poet SEN
EoA, foretelling the discovery of America,
Is certainly wonderful, considering the
age in which it was written. The cele-
brated stole philosopher lived in the first
century Of the Christian era, and in his
tragedy, entitled "Medea," a passage oc-
ours which Archbishop WHATELEY trans
lated: 5"There shall come-a time in later
ages when ocean shall relax his chsins
and vast continent appear, and pilot
shall find new worlds, and Thule shall
be no more earth's bounds" II this
vague prediction had been in the Bible,
the discovery of America would ever be
cited as proof of prophecy. SENEcAs
words have been often commented upon.
BACON calls them ga prophecy OF the dis
coyery of America" Fox wrote: "The
prophecy in SENAcAs tMedea' is very
curious, indeed" IRVING called the pre-
diction wonderfully opposite;;" said it
