Mechella'S Execution.
THF CONDEMNED WITH A CIGAR IN
HIS MOUTH.

JERSEY CITY, IAN. 9.-Jacob Mechella,
The murderer of United States Marshal Ste
venson, was hanged this morning at 1925
o'clock.
NJ. chella last evening showed some evidence
of repentance. He asked the deputy jaior to
read the Bible to him, Two Of the deputy sher-
riffs sat with the prisoner all night.
He ate heartily of his supper last night, and
after short sleep awoke quite lively-whist-
ling and dancing. The mirih however was not
deep, for he would suddenly stop short and
heave deep sighs, and then besn crying and
yelling
This strange scene continued ,il 10 p N.
when he laid down and slept till six this morn
ing. He was awakened and dressed, and break
tasted but ate sparingly
About .. m. the militia arrived at the jail,
and were posted conveniently so as 10 hold back
the crowd.
40 o'clock this morning Mechelas counsel
visited him in his cell, but Mechella refused to
talk and ordered him to go home. Two clergy
men visited him next and prayed with himl
The condemned man exhibited great interes
in the proceedings. At last the Sheriff and
his assistants came and the funeral procession
started for the gallows.
Mechella was given cigar and he smoked
silently on the way to the scafold. He con-
tinued smoking, when the sheriff asked him te
spit it out which he refused to do. The rope
was then adjusted and every thing being in
rediness, tbs sheriff took Mschellas cigar from
his mouth and pulled down the black cap over
his face-The condemned man cried out: "Ot
God don't hang me"
The words died on his lips as his body sho
up into the air. The rope was loosened at III,
pulling and the body fell several inches. /
was thought the rope was broken, but this wa
not the case The sheriff and assistants imme
distsly hoisted the body up again and afte
hanging twenty five minutes it was taken dow
and life pronounced extinct. and the body wa
then handed over to the coroner.

NEW CASTLE, Jan. 10, 1874
esterIAy the steamship Po'ohaftan arrived at
this port, and is now waiting for the arrival OF
the monitor .ijdr, from Philadelphia, which she
will tow to Key West The po,ohandn will prob
ably remain here Tor several days. and will there
fore have to be proyisioned. Mr.. Thomas MoEri-
son, butcher, OF this town, has the contract tor
furnishing the boat with $50 pounds oil meat per
day, and also quantity OF potatoes and other
vegetables.
The bank burglars have subsidized into quetness,
and two OF them, Hope and Big Frank, are said
to be quite ill. Hope suffers from Asthma, aud
Frank from a severe liver complaint. 1t is SAID
that both of them declare that they cannot live a
year. Lawlor and Hurlburt, on the contrary, are
well and hearty though the former greatly dislkes
to ba gazed at by those who visit the jail.
Our merchants have experienced dull times
during the present winter, with the exception OF
Christmas week. But they anticipate increased
business ere long, and are making arrangement;
Ior the same.
Work on the new asker mills was suspended
some time ago, but 1t is expected that it will be
resumed in short time, with all possible vigor.

NOMINATIONS OF CALEB Gu SIZING FOR
CHIEF JUSTICE.
WASHINGTON Jan. 10, 1874.

The nomination of Caleb Cushing Minister
to Spain, to beChief Juftice of the United States
was received in the Senate with marked salts
faction. Senator Sumher expressed his appro-
bat ion in emphatic terms, and in this he was
followed by number of other Senators equally
prominent. There Is no doubt that the nomi-
nation will be confirmed at the next executive
session The embarrassment occasioned tue
friends Of the administration by the nomination
of such AN unfit person as Williams led TO no
little anxiety as TO who should follow, aud nu-
merous inquiries we're passed aro2nd in the de-
sire to obtain information a. 10 the probable
new sppontee.
Mr.. Cushing wss entirely unaware OF the
compliment which the President had deter
mined TO bestow upon him. He had been hard
at work all day settling up his affairs prepra-
tory to his departure for Spain on the 24,h.
The first intimation he had OF his appointment
was the receipt, at four O'Clock this sfternoon,
of congratulstory telegram from friend in
| New York. Comment has been made in the
designation OF Mr.. Gushing as from Virginia :
the fact is that Mr.. Cushing has had adomi
cile in Virginia for twenty years, having owned
for that length of time cottage in Alexandris
county. Mr. Gushing. it. is now supposed
will resign the mission 10 Spain as soon As hs
receive his commission az chief justice. III,
| had not vet rece yea MS COMMISSION as minis
ter 10 Spain, however.
HISTORICAL lSCIDENT3.
lu this connection it is interesting to recall
one or two historical Incidents In connection
with chief Justices of the Supreme Court
Mr.. Jay, while holding the Office of chief jus
tice, was appointed minister to England, wen
there, accomplished the mission with whicl
he was entrusted, came back and resumed hi
seat ON the bench. Chef Justice Ellsworth
was appointed minister to France, acted a
such, and when he came back resumed hi
seat on the bench. Chief Justice Mashal
while Secretary of State, was appointed chic
Justice, and filled the duties of both position
for some time. The enly provision on the sts
} tute books. on the subject of performing tn
! functions of two Offices at the same time is
prohibition against the drawing Of two sal
rles.
This view is in accordance with deeisio
pronounced by Chief Justice Taney. Sh0ul
the President, therefore, desire Mr.. Gushing
proceed to Spain and complete tho negotiation
with that power before taking his seat on Il
supreme benchlthere would he no obstacle
the way.
