COMPUTATION OE THE SENTENCE OF
Mrs. LAWSON AND SILAS NORRIS
Many Of our readers viii be glad tt
learn that Harrisonburg escaped the
horror Of another execution, which was
expected to take place last Friday. The
governori in committing the punishment,
Says:
1.-THE prisoners were accessories be-
fore the fact to murder. The princi-
pal who perpetrated the crime has
suffered the extreme penalty of the law.
Amongst those cognizant of the evil
dence against the prisoners leading
minds disagree as to its weight and
effect; and although they certainly held
a guilty relation to the murder, after
discovered evidence suggests grave
doubts as to who were the controlling
accessories and as to the degree of their
several guilt.
THE blood of the actual murderer
having answered for the blood of the
murdered, the majesty of the law has
been indicated. Discardirg all the APP
peals of a morbid senslbility
such as relate to the sex Of one of the
prisoners-nevertheless 1 yield to the
palliating and mitigating considerations
which justify me in saving their lives.
1.-THE punishment of each Of them is
committed to Imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary for life. This act Of clemency
is recommended by the judge, by many
Of the jurors who indicted and tried the
prisoners, and by many hundred citizens
of the Commonwealth"
The Stanton Tmdicator gives the
following facts in reference to the recep-
ton of the news by the prisoners
Yesterday morning Mr.. Chas. L.
Todd, of Richmond, arrived in this city
and went on to Harrisonburg in one Of
Ed. Burke's buggies behind a fast horse.
In his pocket he had an important docu-
ment being the Communication Of the
sentence Of death Of Silas Morris and
Louisa Lawson, his sister, to imprison-
ment for life, which Governor Kemper
granted Wednesday. The news Of the
Communication was communicated to the
prisoners, who were to be hung this
morning at9 O'Clock, by Rev. Mr.. Barr
of the Episcopal Church. Morris. and
his wife, who was sitting in his cell,
were first told, Mr.. b. quietly calling NJ.
to the door Of his cell and saying: Isl
las, the Governor has had mercy ON you
but you go to the penitentiary for life"
Norris eyes filled with tears and he
turned to his wife who was lying face
down, on the bed and cried: "Bless God,
the Governor has had mercy on me and
the same TO Mrs. Lawson up stairs"
His wife leaped up from the bed and she
and her husband rapturously embraced
and kissed each other and then convul
sively clasped Mr. Barr's hands with
cries Of gratitude.
The good news was conveyed to Mrs.
Lawson in the upper tier of cells, by
Sheriff Ralston She expressed her joy by
shouting and prayers Of Thanksgiving.
A telegram from Harrisonburg says
THE Governors action was received
with great relief by many of our
citizens"

SHARP SHooTING.-Ou friend, John
W. Clinedinst, of this place, recently
shot 38 shoots at birds on the wing,
without missing single time. His
prey fell at every crack. If there is any
one any where that can beat him, we
would be glad to have him put in an
appearance here. But the birds talk
about holding a convention about the
holidays, to appoint an old conjurer to
bewitch his gun. He had better tack a
piece ofan old horse shoe at his steps.

Reform Such as Hayes Loves.

The friends and admirers of civil
service reform under the Fraudu
lent Administration may well poin,
with pride to the spectacle now
presented in the Custom House al
New Orleans. Anderson is acting
Collector of the Port, specially Sc
iected for that trust by Honest John
Sherman. Wells is Surveyor of the
Port, with one son as Deputy Sur
veyor, and another ornamenting an
inspectorship; and the mulatto
Kenner is deputy Naval Officer OF
the Port. Thcs three of the Re-
turning Board rascals, with indict-
ments hanging over their heads and
the penitentlary in prospect, are
chosen to administer the most i'm
portant Offices i'll the gift of the
Executive in the Southern States.
They hold these places as rewards
for the frauds and forgeries perpe-
trated to falsify the vote of LOUISE
ana and to count in Hayes, and for
their rank perjury in protecting
Sherman and the other confeder-
ates before the investigating COM
mittees. While these notorious
scoundrels, whose very names have
become synonym for all that is
Infamous, are thus thrust into pla-
ces OF. honor and profit, the men
who conferred the distinction upon
them make open war on Senators
and Representatives who only ask
for aO honest enforcement of the
evil service rules, and that reno
walls shall not be made without
cause.
In New York Mr.. Arthur and
Mr. Cornell are removed from office,
SO far AS Executive power can reach
them, without a charge of any kind
against their competency or char
acter. In New Orleans Wells, An
derson aud Kenner, blackened
with crime, and convicted, by their
own confessions, of stealing the vote
of Louisiana, are lifted over the
protests of the whole people into
the highest distinctions, and charg-
ed with the custody of the public
This. is reform on the
model of Hayes, Evaris and Schurz,
regularly patented, the genuine ar
ticle, and advertised like Helm
holds buchu, to cure all the ills |
that flesh is heir ON. Y. Sun.
