HORRIBLE SPBCTACLB-A Murderer Be
IeoC5rG r., n IErC-?3Gr'S R1Es. THE San
Francisco Ctr0HicJ6 Of Jan. 24th furnishes
the following particulars of terrible scene
which occurred at the execution, at hartl-
ncz, Cal, on the day previous, of MaIsha+i
Martin, the accompiiee of Elizabeth Eisch-
Ter (who is now rayiug maniac in the asy-
Ium at Stockton) in the murder of Nalen-
tine Eischler, husband of the woman. in
November, 1872. After reviewing the
crime and giving an account of the march
to the fcaftold, the Chronicle thus refers TO
the closing horror:
The scene which followed almost beg
gaTs description. The body shot straight
downward. The rope stretched with
sudden, clastic-like spring, the black cap
flew into the air at least eight feet, and
spattering the blood in great spots over the
rope, the whitewashed wall, the trap, the
chair in which the doomed man sat and
the Sheriff's boots, it rolled away i'll one
corner of the enclosure. The body OF the
poor man fell to the ground with great
thud and two red, geyser-hke jets Spurted
up from the neck and fell down on the
ground in torrents. A closer look, and
then the horror-stricken faces of the spec
tatOrs showed the awful nature of the &C
curreuce had burst upon them. The old
mans head had actually been jerked
y
the black cap where it had rolled in the
corner. The headless trunk lay weltering
in the blood which poured from the neck.
Not word was spoken. After the first
thrill of horror strong men turned away,
sicksned at the spectacle. The faces on
the platform were blanched and ghas:ly.
The Sheriff was as white as chalk, but he
was cool and collected, and did much TO
inspire those around him.
DIR. Holbrook, who was present, first
emptied the black cap of its sIckening con
tents. He lifted the cap at the top, and
the head rolled away over the ground like
a cannon ball. The rope had severed the
neck as cleanly as though ii had been done
with = knife. The vertebra had actually
been pulled away from what the doctor
called the atlas. The larynx, the arteries,
the tendons were all torn apart, the latter
only showing struggling ends. Death, 1t
is hardly necessary to state, was lusCanta-
neous. From the time the headlesS trunk
struck the ground there was not even
culver OF the little finger The body lay
like a lump of lead. The horrible remains
were at once placed ip coffin and hidden
from sight.
No blame is attributable 20 Sheriff Ivory
for this terrible mishap. The rope was ad
iusted for fall of six feet, and it is said
that this was no more than is usually CIV
ell. DIR. HOlbrook, who made a critical
examination OF the remaius, testified be-
fore the COronsr's jury, later in the day,
that, taking into consideration the physi-
cal condition of the man-his soft, faDby
fat, and the weak condition of his muscu-
lar system--it was not at Ali singular that
his neck should give way.

Ex-Governor JAMES NJ. HARVEY was
on the I'd instant elected United States
Senator for Kansas, to succeed Caldwell
Though Republican, Mr.. Harvey received
strong support from the Democrats, he
being the most unobjectionable candidate
presented by the dominant party. Tie
final vote stood 75 for Harvey to 50 for all
others. Tho now Senator is a practical
farmer, and a man whose personal charac-
ter is said to be above reproach. He served
throughout the war as a captain in the
Tenth Kansas Infantry, and at the close of
hostilities was elected successfully TO the
State Senate and the Governorship of Kan
saS. Thomas p. Fenlon, Esq, formerly
of EbensbuTg, but for several years past a
prominent resident of Kansas, received
twelve votes on joint ballot for the office
accorded Dlr. Harvey. Mr.. F. was not
candidate for the office named and it is
therefore right to say that the vote received
by him is no true indication of his strength
with the people, but was rendered simply
In the light of a compliment to one who
has already attained to high honors in his
adopted State, with bright prospects before
him of still greater preferment in the near
future.

OK the Gath ulsimo, by resolution of the
House of Representatives, the opinion of
Attorney General Dimmick was asked on
the question whether, under the new cen
stitution, the existing local option law
could be repealed. AS was to be expected,
he answers that the authority which en-
acted the law has undoubtedly tho right to
repeal it. He says:
Il am unable TO discover why the power
that enacted it may not repeal it without
violation of the constitution. The power of
the legislature is supreme over the matter
1t may at any time withdraw the privileges
1t extended to the people. The fact that the
people were permitted to express their
views and wishes, and in compliance there
with licenses were issued or not issued gives
1t no greater permanency as law. II still
remains As a law, enacted by the supreme
power of the State, and the power that en-
acted it can, AT any time, destroy or repeal
1t. In the language of Chief ustice Gibson,
"the constitution allows to the legislature
every power which it does not possibly pro
hibit." There is nothing in the constitution
prohibitory of the enactment referred to in
the resolution, and the Legislature has the
undoubted right To repeal the law referred
to, If such be its pleasure

TIE gubjoined editorial was published
in double-leaded type by the New York
Tribune last Saturday. Much interest is
manifested to know the character of the
developments threatened, and unless the
Tribune speedily makes good its charges
of corruption in high places, without re-
gard to the measure of discredit that will be
brought upon the american name" it
will by common consent lie held to be gull
ty not only of sensationalism, but also and
at the same time of deliberate attempt to
levy blaek-m&il on the horde of thieves who
wear the livery of the Federal Govern
ment:
There were laid before MS yesterday Ger
tain startling documents gravely affecting
