This was received by Hunter in his
usual indifferent manner, no emotion
being visible on his countenance and
not even tremor in his frame as he
bowed his head and sat down. And
then he was escorted back to his cage,
with head erect and smile on his
face, speaking to no one. His coun.
sci asked leave to have the sentence
of the court and The exceptions re-
corded, which was granted and the
court then proceeded to other bust
ness. There is but one more chance
for Hunters life, lying through the
court of Errors and Appeals, before
which court his case will be brought

THE ELECTIONS.

The November elections are sc
overwhelmingly against the demo
Gratis that the republicans are fairly
astonished with the brilliant victories
they have achieved. New York was
last year democratic. 1t is republi.
can this year by 10000. Last year
the democrats carried Pennsylvania
by 10000. But the keystone State
wheels back into the republican line
this year with over 10000 majority.
New Jersey has gone republican,
Massachusetts, has smashed Ben But
Ter and Dennis Kearney into polit-
ical jelly. The Tammany Hall fac
ion in New York has been suddenly
overthrown by an independent move
meut. Only the solid South stands
firm in the democratic line and that
not too firm. AS for the Greenback
bubble the breath has been clean
knocked out Of it. 1t is not likely
ever to be inflated again. 1t went up
like rocket but has come down like
the stick. The democrats owe their
defeat mainly to their yielding to the
creenback imitation craze, Just as the
republicans owe their victory to the
square stand they finally took on the
currency, national bank and specie
resumption platform. The result
shows that the American people al
ways vote right whe, they thorough
~ understand public questions and
that they are determined to maintain
good government.
The election of members Oh Con-
gress is of course the most important
result in a national view. In the
present House Of Representatives the
democrats have a large majority
Whether they can elect Speaker of
the next is as yet doubtful. Of the
numbers known to be elected $50 are
republicans, $50 uni'sputed demo

Urner, of this district, is the only re
publican elected from Maryland. Cd

der OF John NJ. Armstrong. was this
morning brought into court before
Judge Woodruff, who announced the
Judgment of the court upon the mo.
tons urged last Monday for arrest Of
Judgment and a new trial. refusing to
grant either. Mr.. Roheson of coun.
sci for the prisoner, moved that an
order be entered discharging his eli
ent, alleging that no murder had &C.
Cured in New Jersey, as the victim
had died in Pennsylvania. This re-
quest was at once refused by Judge
Woodruff, who then, after some mo-
ments Of meditation, the few people
presen. maintaining a breathless 81
lence, with their eyes fxel unon him,
proceeded to pronounce the penalty
of the law in voice full Of pity and
tremulous emotion, saying: "Prison-
er at the bar, Benjamin Hunter, please
stand up. Hunter, who had been
seated, arose. You have been con-
victed Of the willlul, deliberate and
premedtated murder Of John NJ.
Armstrong. You have been convict
ed by the law, and by the law you
must suffer death. Have you any
thing to say why the sentence Of the
law should not be passed upon you p
Hunter, the centering point Of all
eyes, stood with his arms folded on
his breast, and to the judges question
answered, II have nothing to add,ex-
cept what has been said by my coun-
sci"
Then Judge Woodruff continued :;
Nothlng then remains Tor me except
to pronounce, in the name Of this
court, the dreadful sentence and jndg,

Republican Executive Commit

The Republican County Executive
Committee held meeting Saturday af-
ternoon, at No. 404 Market street, third
floor. The meeting had been advertised
to come off at the Clayton House, though
no arrangements had been made with
Mr.. Pyle to that effect, nor had a word
been spoken to him in regard to the sub
ject. The chairman called upon him on
Saturday morning, and apologized for
advertising the meeting at that splace,
stating that he forgot at the time that
there was no liquor bar at the Clayton
Huuse, and that the proprietor would
derive no profit from the meeting.
The meeting was accordingly held at
No. 404 Market street, and was fairly at
tended. Mr.. Geo. w. Vernon brought up
file of the Reppblican for 1876, an ex-
animation of the election returns for that
year was made, in order to estimate the
strength of the party in the county. The
meeting generally discussed the political
situation, but took no definite action
either for or against the nomination of a
county ticket. Saturday, August 3rd
was fixed upon as the time for electing a
new County Executive Committees as that
much of the party organization, at least,
will be maintained and continued.

An Old Friend Heard From.

Last week the Washington Il. F. E,
and III. d l.. Company, OF his city, re-
ceived a request from the Washington
Company of Salem, n. j., for the Joan
of thirty sets Of equipments, to be used
in fireman's parade which is to take
place in Salem on the 4th of July. The
request was promptly granted, and the
equipments will be duly forwarded,
while it is very probable that delega-
ton from the Washington Company of
this city will attend the celebration.
The Washington Company of Salem is
the Fenwick Company which purchased
the old hand engine of the Washington
Company of this city. Not being satisfied
with their name, it was decided TO change,
and after considering a dozen or more
names that of f"Washington" was selected.
Under which name the company was du-
ly incorporated at the last session of the
New Jersey Legislature. Recently the
company took their, old hand engine out
and pitted 1t against a Silsby engine, run
by the Union S. f. E. Company, In a
competitive trial, the test being to throw
over church steepie. The Mayor of
Salem was selected as judge ard the re-
suit was that the hand engine beat the
steamer aud came out victorious.

Another Great Rush.

The opening of the sale of reserved
seats for the Girls High School Com.
mencement, which takes place at the
Grand Opera House on Wednesday night
was the occasion of another great rush
at the store of q. + Thomas d Co. One
gentleman meandered around to the
store at 11.40 o'clock last night, and
took position at the door but was sur
prised to find boy named Patrick Hig-
gins stretched out on the st ,p fast asleep.
He reused the lad, who Immediately
sprang up and exclaimed, 1'm first"
thinking the sale Of tickets was commenc-
ing.
This boy was hired for the occasion by
an enterprislng man who relieved him
at O'Clock. AT one, Two and three
o'clock persons kept gathering, and one
who thought 4.30 o'clock o'clock was a
reasonably early time found himself out
in the cold, and after waiting uutil /
O'Clock, when the store was opened
found that ninety-nine men were earlier
than he, and their names preceded his
ON the list. The sale commenced at 7
O'Clock, and persons were served in the
order their names appeared on the list.
by $50 O'Clock every seat in the house
was sold, andnImbers of person whose
names were down on the list, were un-
able to obtain seats, although they
waited two or three hours for that pur-
pose. Hundreds Of tickets beyond the
seating capacity OF Jhe Opera House, and
by the great early rush thereby OCCASION
ed many of the most substantial citizens,
who pay heavy school taxes, were pre-
vented from having show to witness
the result of the expenditure of their
money.
