of many thousand voters as follows:
II observe that Secretary Sherman was out
spoken-as the late G. W. B. was fond Of
phrasing it-upon intimidation Of Southern
negroes. Yet where in the territory sacred to
Che bloody-Shirt was there ever such whole
sale intimidation praCticcd as was introduced
by Secretary Shermans co-Fedoral official
Commissioner Davenport in this city on cleo

ITArre Hante EXPRESS. Greenback.l

LTerre Haute Express. Greenback.l
1t seems clearly impossible for the Demo
cratic party to organize the House. Neither
can the Republicans organize it. The Ma
tionals stand In the breach. The next House
will not be organized On the Democratic line,
nor on the Republican line; it will be organ
lied either by the Greenback men or by the
hard-money men. The distinctions of Re
publican, Democrat and National will sink
out, of sight. Qld party lines, will disappear,
just as they did in 1855, when the country
gave up old Whiggsm and old Democracy
and divided on slavery.
A great responsibility devolves upon the
Nationals elected to Congress. II they act
wisely, they can force reorganization OF
parties, first in Congress and afterward
throughout the country. We believe that the
Greenback mem bers will prove to be the men
for the crisis. Judge Kelly is a man Of great
ability, and Of q longer congressional expert
ence than any other member. De La Matyr,
of Indiana, is as big man as we have in
Indiana politics. Weaver Of Iowa, the leader
Of the Greenback movementin that State is a
man Of ability and force The Greenback
members will be able to take care of them
selves,

ST. LOUIS, February 1.-Wm,
Weiners, wro shot and killed A. V.
Lawrence, bar keeper in the saloon of
the Theatre Comique, early on the MORN
ing OF January 29th, 1877, was hanged
IN the Jail yard between 8 and 9 o'clock
this morning, in the presence OF only
few persons, most Of them being news
paper and professional men. Weiuers Was
big brutal fellow and acted as what is
called bouncer at the Theatre Comique,
avsriety show OF not frs;-class reputation
and had some quarrel with Law
renee about woman, alleged
to have been Weiners' wife. Weiners
spent most of last night with his father,
sister and spiritual advisers till 4 o'clock
this morning, when he took short
sleep. At s o'clock he came out of his
cell with Fathers Shea and Braun,
and after some prelIminsries were gone
through with City Marshal Mason and
the OF er officials headed the procession
and the whole party passed from the ro-
tunds of the jail to the Jail yard and scsf-
fold. Prayers were then made by Braun
and Shea, alter which Weiners made q
brief speech in which he admitted kill
ing Lawrence, bat said the act was not
done in cold blood. That he was crazed
with liquor. tie warned every body
against whisky and bad associations. He
forgave everybody and wished to be for
given by all, and hoped his death would
be happy. The culprit's arms and legs
were then bound and the black cap sd-
justed. At $50 the drop fell. The fall
was seven feet, and death was almost in
staneous. In fifteen minutes the body
WAS cut down and the crowd dispersed.
There are TO be four other executions in
this State within q short time.

OF the Board said to-day that if she had
been rated one. half lower, it would have
ruled her off their books. The Board
does not appear to have had good opin-
ion of the vessel, and are struck with
the fact that she had her name
changed from Stars and Stripes to that
OF Metropolis without the requisite
action. The Board has information that
she was on the dock last month in New
York, and there had her yellow metal
taken Oft, bbt after the hull was csulked
