CONNECTICUT.

The republicans of Connection,
held their State convention on the Goth
The proceedings were harmonious through
out. 1t was hoped by the opposition that
division would arise in regard to the plat
form, but the convention was united up
on that as upon the nominations. James
Lloyd Green of Norwich was nominated
for Governor, and Charles l.. English. OF
New Haven, for Lieutenant Governor
That part of the platform relating to Lou
isiana affairs and the ADMINISTRATION is as
follows:
We have undiminished confidence in the integ-
iity and patriotism Of President Grant. We heart
lily indorse his recent special message to the SEN
ate the Louisiana question and principles there
in contained, and we unite with him in declaring
that any military interference by the officers or
troops Of the United States with the organization
of State Legislature or any of its proceedings,
or with any civil department Of the government,
and with him we 'can conceive Of no cause not
involving rebellion or insurrection when such in
reference of the authority ofthe general govern
ment ought to be permitted or can bo justified"
and at the same time, we thank the President for
saying that ''to the extent that Congress has
connded power upon nim 10 prevent II, nelthef hu
Klux Klans nor White Leagues nor any other as
sociations using arms or violence to execute their
unlawful purposes, can be permitted in that way
10 govern any part Of this county,
We urge onr Senators and Representatives to
adopt early measurs for securing the peace and
welfare of Louisiana.
Resolved, That we utterly condemn, as we did
during the war, those unwarranted denunciaions
Of the general government, which, while subserv-
ing only selfish political purpose, tend to keep
alive an insurrectionary and lawess spirit in
tain States of the Union.

THE DEATH PEVALTY-AN EXAMPLE
OF HANGING.

Two negroes convicted of murder and sentenced
to death were hung at North Hampstead, Long Is

Jarvis and Lewis Jackson. The following descrip-
Of the execution we clip from the columns of the
New York World, strenuous advocate of capital
pun shment as It's readers well know,
Mineola Jail, the old Queens County Court
House, stands almost alone in the middle of the
illmitable Hampstead Plains. 1t is an old fash
ioned wooden building square, two stories and a
bell-tower high, and clap boarded with hemlock
shingles. Its front and piazza white; rest is a
dull brick-red and yellow. high board fence,
with nails along its edge incloses the Jail yard in
the rear. 1t is twenty -four years since ANYBODY
has been hanged in the jail-yard, and yesterday
was q high holiday for that reason. Carriages
and pedestrians OF all descriptions across the
Plains all the morning, and from all directions,
singy and by dozens, their ways conyerging TO
the doors OF the battered old courthouse and ail
With few exceptions everybody was very eager
and very merry, and, except in the grave faces of
the cergymen, and The busy air Of the Sheriff and
his deputies and the top of the galows TO be seen
over the jail yard fence, it was impossible to see
that anything more serious than horse-race was
expected. The lower floors OF the jail, fully with
in hearing Of the condemned cells were flied to
yostlng with 3 crowd smoking, laugh peerng
curiously here and there, and greeting with unaf-
feeted joyiality the continual arrivals 1t was
nearly 10 O'Clock when Sheriff Samms began TO
exciude from the house those who were not to be
admitted TO the execution, and numerous divisions
aad subdivisions Of the crowd remanng-some
one hundred and ffty-were made one platoon
marching this way, another that, according TO the
positions to be assigned around the scaffold upon
which the hammer was yet at work. A squad of
forty policemen from Brooklyn and Long Island
City came in and waited in the hallway.
At 10 o'clock, the Sheriff, with few witnesses,
entered the corridor OF the condemned cells and
read their sentence to the negroes. They were
then left with their keepers till 1890 when Rev
Mr.. Blsckmsn, Of the Methodist Episcopal church
Port Washington, and Rev. MIR. Davis, Of the
Dutch Reformed church at Manhasset, were ad-
mitted, with few officers. They prayed and sang
hymns with the prisoners, and read to them poi-
tons Of the third and fifth chapters of ST. John,
the second chapter OF st Mark and the fifth Of St.
Matthew, the iity-third chapter of Isaiah, the
eighth chapter of Romans, and the fifteenth chap
ter Of second Corinthians. The religious service
was over at ii O'Clock and the jail yard was then
opened. The gsllows-borrowed from New York
stood with its two ropes few feet apart in the
further corner Of the yard, and the ground sloped
down to il from all sides. The ground was sheet

1t is matter worthy of consideration at
this time, that if the State Of Louisiana
held annual elections, and elected Gov
ernor every year, the difficulty which ex-
lists in that State could scarcely have oc-
Cured. The constitution of the State al
lows the Governor to hold his Office four
years, hence the dispute which exists in re
lation TO the right of the present Governor
to hold his Office continues. With annual
elections the difficulty would probably
have been settled before this, peaceably,
by the people themselves Immediately in
terested. There are good reasons to be-
lieve that annual elections of State officers
and annual sessions of the legislature are
safer oven than biennial sessions, and more
in accord with popular government as un-
derstood by the founders Of our institu-
tions and our people generally.
