OF the government squandered in com

long as we need money to be expended

country would be enhanced by the out

asking from Congress appropriations that
can be of only trifling benefit to few.
10 claim this road as military necessity

farce. To expect that it would or
could be commercial thoroughfare be-

a farce Of equal magnitude for the rea-

THE COMPROMISE BILL.

We publish to-day the Bill reported
BY the joint committee of the two House
of Congress for the settlement of tn,
Presidential controversy. 1t had thu
endorsement of all of the members o
the committee save one, Senator Nor
ton. The Bill meets with much favo,
from = portion of the press of the coun
try and with opposition from some jour
mails. Senators and Representatives are
reported to be much divided in opinion
upon the plan proposed in the Bill, al.
though it is claimed that the bill will
pass both Houses by handsome major
ity. One of our exchanges facetiously
remarks that it is good bill with one
exception, to wit: that it has omitted
to make any provision for the present
horde Of ofice-holders throughout the
Union, in the event that the result of
the count should declare Tilden elected,
and regards it strange that the commit
tee should have omitted so important a
provision in the bill, and intimates that
this omission may prove disastrous to
the country.
Seriously we regard the provisions of
the bill as ample for just and fair So
luton, Of the vexed question if honest
and competent men compose the COM
mission Of fifteen. Bnt if dishonest men
are in the majority of that commission
the divine law itself as a specific guide
in their hands would be no guarantee of

much more free from partisan bias than
We had feared would be presented and
perhaps is as FREE from objections as
could have been made under the parti.

not only at Washington but all over the

GENTLEMEN-I regard 1t Of the highest

II In any event the increase OF our

YOUNGSTOWN, o., April '2l.-At 10
O'Clock this morning, E. T. Nicholson,
pastor OF the Baptist Church,
called on Sterling. They had lorG
talk, In which the prisoner still
claimed himself an innocent man. He
said that his vindication must be at
a higher tribunal, expressed no prefer.
ence in regard to religious faith, but
trusted only In the future. The last
hour Of the prisoner WAS spent In con-
versation and prayer with his minister.
The crowd In the halls was surging for
admittance TO the inclosure. but until a
few minutes before the hour none were
admitted.
At 1890 Sterling was led to the scat
old, and alter prayer was handoutfed,
placed on the closed trap, and asked il
he had anything to say. He made f. w
remarks insisting he was innocent, al d
bid his attorney, who was greatly az
fected, farewell.
He also asked for the brother Of the
murdered girl, shook hands with him,
and at exactly 12:45 the trap was
sprung. The moose slipped under his
chin and failed to break his neck. After
a few moments of silence he began 10
clap his hands and kick his feet.
The sight was a horrid one, slckening
In the extreme. For at least two mii-
utes those motions and groans were kel {
up, and 1T was thirteen minutes befo g
he was pronoun ced dead.
The body was left hanging until $50,
wien it was taken down, and Will g
buried IN the Potter's Field this aitel
