MIR. HENDRICKS ADDRESS TO THE
MANHATTAN CLUB.

NEW YORK, June, 13.-Mr. Hendricks,
at the Manhattan Club last night, hav-
ing returned thanks for honor. done him,
alluded to the Presidential election, and
said:
The result as declared in Louisiana and
in Florida, at Washington, is not and
cannot be made satisfactory to the coun-
try, for the obvious reason that it was
not true. A great aud sincere people
| will rest their final Judgment only upon
truth and never upon frauds successful
through technicalities.
Even should the President and his
Cabinet adopt part or hole OF the
policies and purposes for which the
Democratic party has been contending
for many years, and which became so
distinctly defined last year, even that
cannot remove Or quiet the public dis
content. The Democrats will make no
facticus opposition, nor will they seek to
embarrass the de facto administration,
but will sustain it when it is right, be-
cause it is right, and for the welfare of
the country. and not because of any faal-
ty to the party that stands defeated and
condemned by the people. The people
cannot allow the selection of their
chief magistrate to become thing of
chance or sharp practice; the fraud first
| triumphant in American history must be
| assigned to its proper place among the
crimes against popular government, and
| made so odions that no party will dare to
| ,1,-: Sc al
ed President must be inaugurated; !;
| until that is settled and made sure, no
Democrat can be seduced from his devo-
ton and allegiance in any way; not by
aIIurements of office, nor even by the
strong appeal in the abandonment by the
Administration of vicious principles and
dangerous policies and the adoption of
better doctrines and just measures.
The Democrats will not intrust their
much cherished principles to the keeping
of a power which is attained by vicious
and corrupt means; they will rather con-
Time their faith in the right of the ma
iority to rule, in accordance with consti-
tnt:onal provisions. All Democrats re-
jjoice with unbounded joy that free repub-

to the States of South Carolina and Lou
isiana. They rejoice in the good fruits
that must follow. They know that
peace aud order will prevail; that capital
will be made secure and labor safe,
contented and happy; that enterprise
will revive, and the cruel burdens of the
| Government, and public corruption, will
be lifted from the shoulders of labor, and
that production will increase and lands
advance in price. But they know that
in the language of Gov. Morton, it had
become ''inevitable."
Good government in the States was
not a free will offering upon the affairs of
the country. For years the Democrats
had contended in Congress and before the
people for free republican States through
out the South, and finally it became, Gin
evitable," because the right and truth
we're too strong to be longer suppressed.
In this tho Democrats find a reason to
stand moro firmly with their party OF
power, with no patronage to dispense
and no money to Distribute but, ANNA

THREE YEARS OLD.

CChicago Times

lCRtcNyo 1lmeS.
Boston, June S.-A sad homi-
eide occurred in the Bunker Hill
district this forenoon, when an in
fant Of two years and six months
killed comnanion three years old
with a brickbat. At 49 Henry
street. in the vicinity OF Stetson's
Court, there resides a shoemaker
named Chas.: NJ. Fagers:Tom, hav-
ing son about three years of age.
This little one named Charles, has
been in the habit of going into
Stetson's Court to- play, and was
in the custom of frequenting the
premises occupied by Mrs. Cathe-
rine WEIGH, who also has a son
some two years and six months old.
Whether the children were il
the habit Of quarreling Or not Goes
not appear but for this or some
other reason the Wclch family dis
liked to have him about their house,
and q sister OF Mrs. Welch, named
Mrs. Turnbull, instructed her
daughter Lizzie to, drive Charley
away whenever he came there,
even if she had to slap him. This
display of hostility to the Eager
strom boy doubtless made deep
impression upon the Welch boy,
and last Wednesday evening, about
half-past 6 o'clock. while the form
err was crossing from his house to-
ward Stetson Court, tho Welch
boy picked up brick having a
sharp point, and, going up to the
Fagerstrom boy, struck him in the
head with i: just above the left eye,
fracturing the skull. He was tax
en- nome by neighbors who witt
messed the affair, and died at 5
O'Clock this morning. Coroner
Bradford was called, but, after
learning the particulars, he deemed
an inquest Unnecessary, owing 10 the
extreme youthful2ess of the Welch
boy. The families themselves are
represented as being quiet and
pcaceab!e, and have never had any
----aole with each other.

and the jury brought in . verdict
of guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, and the unfortunate man va.
sentenced to be hung on May 20,
1877. The attorneys tried by ev-
cry means to get new trial. to
have the supreme court review the
decision of the lower court, but in
vain, and the young man prepared
for the almost unheard-of sacrifice.
As a last resort an appeal was
made to Governor Phelps for in-
reference, bnt after evans argu-
meut had beec exhausted the Gov
ernor firmly refused to interfere
with the findings of the
court. The last hope was gone,
and Poindexter prepared for death.
The fatal day was drawing near.
but the inierposing hand of Prov-
idence was also near. A few days
before the time set for the judicial
murder James Edmondson was
taken suddenly ill at Bloomfield
and laid upon his death>bead.
Then, knowing that his life was
drawing to an end he confessed
that he. and not his brother, had
killed William Shaw. Proper Wit
nesscs were called in and the con.
fession was taken down in writing.
AS matter of course the people
were greatly excited There were
but a few days intervening before
the time set for the execution.
What was to be done must be done
quickly. "A public meeting was
called, sum Of money raised and
young man sent with all possible
speed to lay the facts before Gov.
ernor Phelps at Jefferson City.
Bloomfield is considerable dis.
tance from the railroad, but the
young lawyer who was sent as q
messenger rode to the nearest rail-
road statior and then fastened to
Jefferson City and laid the papers
before Governor Phelps. This was
on the Sunday evening preceding
the Tuesday when Edmondson was
to have suffered. The governor
granted a respite to August 9th,
and then the lawyer began his ride
for life. He first teIegraphed
to Derter, the nearest Telegraph
station, the result of his mission,
and then, as fast as steam aud
horse could carry him, he fastened
back co Bloomfield with his order
Of Communication. He was not an
hour too soon, although his tele-
graphs had been received before.
But there was no hanging in Bloom.
field on that day, and the people
were all immensely happy. Poin-
dexter Ednondson could not speak
when first informed that his broth-
er had made confession. James
died, and the jailer, without au-
thority of law, let his brother at~
tend the funeral under guard. Meas
ures were at once set ON foot to
induce the governor to grant full
and unconditional pardon, which
will no doubt be done in day or
two.

nurr t,ssbim., Circus.


This mammoth circus and menagerie
appeared for its first time in Hartford
last Friday. and gave two performances,
both Of which surpass any show that has
exhibited here for g number OF years
Its street parade alone is worth the price
OF adm,ssion. The inside performance
was es good as any we have ever seen
Pete ConkIin, the clown, is frst-class,
and with his original wit and humor
keeps the audience in one continuous
uproar OF laughter from his first appear
suee until the exhibition is over. The
acrobats cannot be beaten, while the
same can truthfslly be. said Of the GYM
nsstic performers and the trspezist. Miss
Minnie Marks lie unquestiouably the best
equestrienne we ever saw inside a circus
ring. There are other features well
worthy Of mention, but Of which We will
not speak, except TO pay them deserved
Compliment by pronouncing them the
most gentlemanly set of showmen that
ever visited this place, and come nearer
exhibiting what they advertise than any
company that has ever visited us.
