Tuition.

The men who wish to create public
condemnation Of President Grant for
not removing certain crooked whisky
men before they were arraigned before
a court for their fraudulent work, are
completely dumbfoundeo over the state
ment of a man named Fulton, who has
been in the special service of Govern
men:. Tuition tells that IT was be who
went to President Grant and urged him
not to remove the questionable charac.
tiers, because, If be did so, they would

not be overtaken By justice, and he,
Tuition, could not detect them success.
fully, and the frauds would only be
partially broken up. The President
did as he was requested, did not remove
the objectionable men. and Tuition went
West, and, with other detectives, made
the haul of crooked whisky men who
have recently been before the Court.
Tutton's plain statement siekens the
defamers of the President they are
sick on the disease Of lying.

Horrible GalIOws Scene.

A despatch from New York, under
date of the 18th INST, relates the fol
lowing sickening gsllows scene:
William Ellis, Charles Weston, and
William Thompson, the three negroes
who followed a peddler named Abra-
ham Weisburg into Lydig's woods, in
Westchester county, and beat bis brains
out with stones in order to rob him of
$l4, we're hanged at 9:35 this morning
Ellis was the least repulsive of the
three in appearance. Weston and
Thompson evidently belonged to v.ry
low order of humanity, and their brutal
features aud degraded aspect excited
little conmlsseration. Weston wore
common black suit, Thompson an old
gray coat and black trowsers, and Ellis
dark coat and trowers, with white
gloves They stood beneath the fatal
beam in the order mentioned above,
Weston being on the right, next the
male prison. AS they stood on the
scaffcld the attendant clergyEen whis-
pered few last words in their ears,
and the sheriff's assistants fastened the
ropes. No time was lost, for at 1925
O'Clock Sheriff Corner gave the signal,
the weights were let 60, and the bodies
of the three murderers were lifted into
the air. A most horrible scene then
occurred. Weston died easily, no mo-
ton of his frame being perceptible ex-
ceot brief sbudder, and an occasional
contraction of his legs. Thompson
apparently suffered more. His body
shlvered from head to foot, bis breast
besved, and lie raised his arms several
times, working his fingers convulsively.
But the mode Of Ellis death was the
cruelest Of all At the last moment,
after the Doose had been adjusted, be
suddenly turned bis head, and disar-
ranged the position Of the knot. Before
it could be readjusted the signal was
given and the weights fell. The knot
slipped around bis neck and beneath
h,s chin, thus permitting him 10 draw
breath. To the horror of the specta-
tors be began to writhe terribly, aud
then placing bis feet against the boards
at the side of the scaffoId, be attempted
to raise himself and relieve the strain
upon hIs neck. He then swung around
and couvulsively siezed Thompson, who
was hanging next to him, and again
endeavored to raise himself. He even
succeeded in twice clasping bis legs
around Tbonpson's waist, and by thus
easing Ills neck, was enabled to breathe
more freely, and to prolong bis agony.
He then seized the rope just above the
knot, his arms having been fastened too
loosely, and as he did SO his handker-
chief, which was IN hts hand when he
vas swung into the air, fell over bis

ArrEMPrED BRIBERY.

County Treasurer and Commissioner.
William L. Strickler, ex-Treasurer
of Eayette county, and Robert Hagan,
who was until recently one of the Board
of Commissioners of that county, we're
asrested in Unicntown last week on
charges of ATTEMPTED bribery, preferred
against them by Aarcn Watson, mem
ber of the Board of Directors OF the
POOR. The information was made be-
fore Justice Leais. IL it the prosecu-
tor states that the 6rst effort OF the
accused to brite him was in December,
1874, when Strickler was candidate
for Steward of the Poor Farm, hut no
amotint vas then stated that the Sec
oud attempt was made on the 2ith OF
the sam, month, when Strickler offered
Watson roll of money, and Robert
Haeap, who was present, advised him
to take it; that the third attempt was
made in January, 1879, when Strichler
financial negotiations by Offering, pro-
vided Watson would vote for him for
Steward, TO increase his bank account
to the extent of S33 33. per month
during the remaining year Watson
would be in Office and, finally, the
sffiant AYERS, that just previous to the
meeting of the Directors in January,
1875, Strickler offered him $700 if he
would make him Steward, protfering
Robert Hagan as security. Watson
believes these offers were made for the
purpose of bribing HIN. On the same
day he entered suit against JOHN Stuck,
setting forth that Stuck came to hi,
house in November, 1874, aud offered
him $3.50 provided he was made Stew
ard of the Poor House. Justice Lewis
issued warrants for the arrest of the
accused, aud Hagan and Strickler were
taken into custody. They gave 3 900
bail each for trial at court. In his
charge to the Grand Jury, at the open
ing of the December term of the Grim
iual Court, Judge Wilson referred to
the reports in circulation about attempts
at bribery, and said the guilty persons
should be arrested. The prosecution
BY Watson is thought to be chiefly due
to the suggestion of the Judge. The
The present Steward of the Poor Farm
is Mr.. Stacy, who has made an homes,

an office much sought after BY the Dem
ocrats of Fayette county, and the late
developments in regard to heavy bribes
would seem to indicate that g there's
millions in it."

The Blaine Amendment to the
Constitution, Providing for Be
igious Equality before the Law.

TX Speaker Blaine has introduced OF
proposed an amendment to the United
States constitution, declaring against
sscc.arian Teaching in iie common
schools. aud seainst division Of the
common school fund fer sectsrian pur
poses. Eighteen hundred years ago
the Roman government allowed people
to Worship religiously as their con-
science dictated. Through It's correct
interpretation of the rights of people
TO worship re.igiou>ly according to con-
science the world is entitled for the
PRONUNCIATION Of the Christian religion.
II Rome had been as intolerant when
Christ came, as ether governments OF
that DAY, and in past days, and in days
since then, Europe and America would
not be in the enjoyuIent Of the Chris
tian religion. Are the American peo-
tile at this day enlightened sufficiently
TO permit of religious equality before
the law, and adopt an amendment to
their Constitution TO establish TO cer-
tainty that right!
