WHAT HEsISG AND HIS NEWSPAPER RAvx Had.
70 1hs EdaIr ef Tx Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO, Oct. 90.-No sooner had Hesing ar
rived in town than he began to beg for place.
He waa given position in the SheEiG's Office.
Thea ho was made Sheriff. Then he got through
the Legislature the special law requiring all the
advertisements and Council proceedings to be
published in his paper as ful!y as they we're in
English. Out at this law aloue he has received
fully 100000.
Then he insisted that his man. Herr kreisman,
should have place in Germany 40 as to be his
foreign correspondent Then he insisted that
his editor, Brentzno, should bo seut to the
Legislature and 10 put into the School Board.
George Schneider was once interested i'll the
&dats-Z -Zeitung. But when Schneider ceased to
be interested. he insisted that Schneider should
be removed and either Brentano or himself ap-
pointed in his place. And there was nothing too
vile for hlm to say about Congressman Arnold
and Wentworth because they refused to be par
ties to his warfare upon Schneider. Finally no
secured the Office for his editor, Raster aud that
OF Presidential Elector.
Besides all this, the belief is generally preya-
lent that he shared the profits in oEce with
Solomon, Fisher, aud others. Now he comes to
the front and claims the best Office IN Cook
County upou the ground that his public ger
vices have never been requited. He will find
out after aiection that the people think he has
had too much already. ARGUS

uEsING AND THE JUDICIARY

10 ts< Editor Of 1he Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO, Oct. 90.-Mr. Hesing has abnsed and
driven from the Bench soms OF its most desarr-
ing members, and he has placed upon it some
who should never have been there. Besidea he
has kept therefrom many persons vino
should have been there He has done
all this by abuse and Misrepresentation
OF men through his newspaper, which has been
kept alive by the people taxes. Few Americans
can read German papers, ana many Germans
read nothing else. And in high party times
Hesins has threatened his party with the oppoai-
tioa OF the Germans ii they did not nomlnato
the men he wanted. He frat prejudices men
with the Germans, aud then claims that they are
unpopular because Of the very prejudice that ha
himself has created.
CooE County never had purer man upon tho
Bench than Graut Goodrich But ha would not
conform his decisions to ResEng's cdicts, and
the party ward-meetings we're packed
against him. He consulted the Iaw
aud the Constitution moro than he did
the Stdais- Zeitung, aud be had to leave tho
Bench. Among the old friends and neighbors Of
Judge Goodrich, and among the old members Of
the Chicago bar, Hesin2's treatment OF him viii!
naver bo forgotten. The dictator will be re-

Especial telegram to the Dispatch
LTSCuBURG, Va, August 13.-The negro
boy Tom Withers was executed at Campbell
Courthouse to-day. About two thousand
people, mostly negroes, assembled in the viii
lage to witness the execution but, at the
prisoners request, only about one hundred
and fifty were admitted to the jail-yard, in-
Guiding the guard and the prisoners rela-
tives. The prisoner confessed to the jailor
and reporters this morning that he com-
mitted the murder through jealousy. The
negroes present were clamorous for the exc
cutioD. At II O'Clock the prisoner assembled
the scatfold. He said nothing, but requested
the officiating minister to warn the people
against incurring his fate. Prayer by a
clergyman was then offered: after which,
at 1920, the trap-door was sprung. The
prisoner fell three feet, and hung motouless
for few seconds, when he drew up his legs
and supported himself by placing his knees
on the platform. This struggle for life was
repeated three times, the officer as often push
ing him of. He hung for twenty.eight min.
utes, when Drs. Clark and Stratton pro-
| nouDced him dead, and he was cut down.
His neck was not broken. but he was stran.
ged by asphyXia. He met his fate with en-
| tire Indifference, as though unconscious of it
A heavy rain fell during the execution.
