BRowNLow has issued his last call.
After denouncing the Civil Rights bin
as the sum of villainies and quintes-
sence of iniquity, he now asks East
Tennesseeanst to vote for that persistent
supporter of Civil Rights, Horace
Maynard. But the game is up. Civil
Rights has opened the eyes of East
Tennesseeans. Maynard must step
down and out.

HARK to the voice of the Radica
syren. The Chattanooga Commercial
afirms that: 1.-The success of the Dem
ocratic State ticket means the defeat of
johnson" The Democracy of Ten
nessec has hohored Mr.. johnson too
often in the past, for his friends to be
caught with such Radical cbaff. They
do not wear their hearts on their sleeves
for such jackdaws to peck at.

card was written: 81 am satisfied you

this kind which has occurred in that

The problem, What becomes of the
American voter? is as intricate as the
other, What becomes of all the pins? On
the 30th Of June, 1870, there were in the
United States 9,439 ,206 males Oyer twenty
one years of age, of whom S,425,9 41 were
citizens, native and naturalized. At the
Presidential election in November, 1872,
two years and half later, the aggregate
vote polled, including fraudulent votes,
was only 6,500000 leaving about % per
cent Of the male voters not voting.

&THE theory of the Chicago Tribune
In attributing the Democratic successes
of October to Republican absenteeism,
is hardly tenable. Take Ohio, for ex-
ample. The Republican vote this year
on the State ticket is 22l, 2O4 against
only 2l3,SS7 last year, showing an &C
tual increase of between seven and
eight thousand. The Democrats poll
23S, 400 this year against 2l4,654 last
year. Mere absenteeism Will not ex-
plain these figures.

INVESTIGATION by the Liberal Dem
ocratic Government of Wisconsin is
bringing facts to light which prove
that the late Republican administra-
ton was eithervery inefficient or very
corrupt. Over 100000 feet of the
very best pine timber on the ST. Croix
land grant have been cut, for which
not a dollar has ever been paid into
the State Treasury. The logs, when
cut by trespasstrs, ought to have been
seized and sold, and would thus have
Melted for the State at least $4,000.

RAFFERTY, HANGED.

WAUKEGAN, ILL.,, February 81 -
II 80 p. m.-The apparatus forthe
summary taking off Of Rafferty, has al
ready been described, it being the
same as was prepared for the purpose
on the Goth of December last. A rope
seven-eights Of an inch in diameter,
passes from the corridor of the court
room through the ceiling into the at
tic and over pully. At the upper
end Of this rope is attached a weight
of 290 pounds, consisting of several
chunks Of iron. This weight is held
near the ceiling by smaller rope,
which passes down the stairway to the
corridor, and is there fastened to the
beam in the garnet and to the weight.
When the weight falls, instead of drop
ping on bags of sand, it will be caught
by this large rope just before reaching
the floor, thus avoiding all noise or
Earring The fall will jerk the victim
about four feet from the floor. It is
expected that death will be instan,ane-
Gus. Rafferty, will, when the fatal mo-
ment arrives, stand facing the court
room, the doors of which are open,
thus being in full view of the specta-
tors. In making these arrangements.
Sheriff Bartlett has received several
valuable suggestions from Deputy
Sheriff Lincoln, of this place, and
Sheriff Bradley, of Chicago This is
the first time be has ever been obliged
to perform the disagreeable duty of
hanging murderer, nor has he ever
before even witnessed an execution,
but he evidently is equal to the occa,
sion, and intends to make Rafferty's
death as nearly painless as possible.
The Spectators have all been ad-

mitted, and are now seated in the court.
room. awaiting the scene of death soon
to be witnessed. Nobody but the
Sheriff and his assistants, the priests
and the doomed mans father, are al
lowed to see Rafferty, in the Jail below,
nor will any others until he ascends to
the corridor, preparatory to being jerk
ed into eternity. There is a large
crowd around the Jail, but not much
excitement.
WAUKEGAN' ILL.,, February Fl -
The time spent by the spectators in
waiting for the closing act seemed long
to them, but to the miserable culprit
below every moment seemed more pre-
cious than gold.
AT ten minutes before | o'clock
Christopher Rafferty,, supported on
either side by Fathers Gavin and Henne-
berry, and accompanied by the Sheriff
assembled from the Jail to the corridor
of the court room, and took a seat be-
meath the dangling moose. He was
neatly dressed in a suit Of black, and
held in his hands erncifx. He ap-
peared firm and calm: but looked pale
as death. He was soon pinioned, and
the white cap was drawn over his face
and at l o'clock precisely he Was
launched into eternity.
WAUKEGAN III. Feb .27-1:35 D. m.
When the Sheriff had pinoned the
wretched man he read to him tn order
Of the Supreme Court for his execution.
During the reading not single token
of fear was manifested by Rafferty,, so
soon to die. The Sheriff then tied his
feet together, fastened his arms behind
him, and placed over his body and
head the white gown and cap, forever
shutting out this world from his vision.
When asked, just previously, if he
wished to say anything. Rafferty,
arose and replied that he had nothin g
to say. Father Gavin read a short
prayer in his behalf, and Deputy Sheriff
Lincoln then stepped to the stairway.
and with Ratchet severed the small
rope, the slender thread by which the
enshrouded culprit hung suspended
over the gulf of eternity.
His body quickly shot up from the
floor to distance of about four feet,
and then dropped, SO that the feet
nearly touched the floor. The moose
had been placed around lis neck, with
the knot beneath the left ear. When
it frightened up, it slipped around to
the back of the neck, so that the head
was thrown forward and downward;
There was nothing perceptible that
could be called struggle-ouly one
or two faint heaviugs Of the chest, aud
all was over. Christopher Rafferty,,
the murderer of Policeman O Meara,
was dead, and justice was satisfied.
He must have died very easily, as the
engine Of death worked to perfection,
and did its work most effectively. In
twenty minutes from the time fatal
drop fell he was examined by the at
tending physicians and pronounced
lifeless.

The War in Ashantee.

LONDON Feb. "a. A report has reached
here that great battle has been fought
Il Coomassie, between the Ashantees
aud the force under General Sir Gar
astt Wolse|y. The engagement is said
. have lasted whole day. and to
nave closed with no decided result.
The loss of British troops is given as
nearly 800, including many officers.
The Highlauders alone are reported to
have had $50 men killed, and General
SIR Garrett Wolsly was said to be in
need of reinforcements, which were
fifteen miles off.
LONDON, Feb 25.-The war Office
has received no report of battle said
to have occurred between Garnet
Wolsely's army and the Ashantees,
but an unofficial though circumstantial
dispatch has reached the admiralty
Office. The battle was fought at Ac-
croonba, January 81, not at Coomas-
sic, as reported. Among the killed
are Major Baird and Captain Buckle
The Globe says if this news be true,
great disaster has befallen the British
arms, aud the only course left to Sir
Garnet Wolsely is to effect a safe re-
treat to the coast. 5-
4 special to the Standard says the
Ashantees entirely surrounding the
British army, but were eventually
driven off, with great loss, and the
principal war chief of the Ashantees
killed. The king has taken command
Of his army in person, and it was ex-
pected he would renew the attack.
February 9th was the date decided
upon for the storming Of Coomassie,
by G Wolsely's forces.
Furthers particulars Of the battle
between Sir Garnet Wolsely's force
and the Ashantees say the latter fought
desperately, and the battle lasting from
SIX o'clock in the morning until three
In the afternoon. Seventeen British
officers were killed or wounded. The
oaval brigade, 145 strong. lost SO men
the rifle brigade, SO, and the fusileers
sc men. The loss sustained by the
by the native allies is unknown, but
uas very heavy. The communications
Of the British forces with the rear are
threatened. 1t is believed that an
other large force Of Ashantees is ap-
uroaching Coomassie from the south
Wsak.
