NORTH CAROLINA.

RALEIGH, June 25.-Robert
Jones, negro, who murdered Ru-
dolph Eaton, white, in the village
of Rocky Mountain, Dec. 25th,
1877, was publicly hanged at Tar
boro' to day. Jones was twice con-
yicted on strong circumstantial
evidence. An effort was made to
have Governor Jarvis commute the
sentence to imprisonment for life,
but he declined to interfere, be-
yond once granting a respite to
allow a thorough examination of
the case. At 1850 a. m, the
Sheriff left the jail with the pris-
oner in an open wagon, Edgecombe
Guards accompanying with a negro
fire company in red shirts. Jones
talked, laughed and poked fun at
the Sheriff. He dwelt long on his
religious experience, and said he
was going straight to heaven. He
was the coolest man ever seen on
the gallows there. He drank wine
in remembrance Of his brethren in
Christ, and shook hands all round.
Che moose and cap were put on at
twelve, the drop sprung and death
ensued from strangulation in 26
minutes He seemed to suffer
greatly.

Horrible Crime of a Despairing Man
His Three Children Murdered

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, June 21.-
John Kemmler, a German, living at
South Holyoke, shot his three chill
dren-Annie, aged six years, Lud-
miller, aged four, and Amy, aged
ore-this afternoon, because he was
unable to support them. He has
been out Of work since February.
At that time he went to Colorado,
but recently returned, and had been
warned from a tenement belonging
to the Cermania Mills, in which he
lived, because he no longer worked
in the mills. About two
o'clock he sent his wife on an
errard, and calling his eldest
child in the house, he tried to
poison her with cyanide of potas-
SUM, but she threw up the dose.
Kemmler then took the second child
into the froni bedroom and shot
her through the head, back Of the
ear, with 32-calibre fve-shooter.
He then took Annie to the rear of
the bedroom and shot her in a like
manner, and left her on the floor
covered with Vomit and blood The
youngest girl was lying on the bed.

Programme Of the Last Ditchers.
Special dispatch TO the Cincinnati Gazette
WASHINGTON. June

The desperate expedients to
which the last ditch men are deter,
mined to resort, if they have
strength enough to carry out their
purposes, is shown by the following
extract from the Washington Ca
&ette, the organ Of the advance
Bourbon element:
"Several Democratic members,
including Gen. Atkins, Chairman of
the Appropriation Committee, af-
frmcd very positively, last night
that if the de facto President vetoed
either bill, Congress would give up
all idea Of adjourning and at once
enter on the ques ions of tariff and
financial legislation, and Gen. At
kins declared to our representative
over and over again that, to accom-
plish this, the House Of Representa-
tives would reorgauize the Ways
and Meano Committee, and then
proceed to make a revenue tariff,
and pass bills substituting green
backs for national bank notes.
ct is to be hoped that the words
enunciated by Mr.. Atkins will find
ready response from every Dem
ocrat in both Houses of Congress,
and that the party which is respon~
sible for the legislation Of the
country will take the bit between
its teeth and give the fraud taste
of the temper of old time Jack~
sonian Democracy.
"Let the absentees return at once
to duty, so that an unbroken front
may be presented to the little dicta
tor who swings the veto with so
much fippancy."

Senator Bayard'S Views.

Senator Bayard, Of Delaware, in
a letter expressing his regret at be-
ing unable to fix a time for ad-
dressing the Democratic Union, of
New York city, writes "My clear
views of duty and expediency have
not, up to this time, been fully
adopted by my party associates, and
yet my faith in their propriety and
their necessity has only been
strengthened by the occur
rences of the session. No
plan of party action can
be accepted which involves con-
fusion in the orderly proceedings
of our Government in all It's
branches. No differences Of opin-
ion or ob3tructiveness by one de-
partment can warrant other depart
ments in Withholding proper and
needful supplies, or in falling to
perform their own full measure of
duty to the people of the United
States and their Government. To
the sober ard deliberate judgment
and opinion Of the American peo-
pie must be submitted all issues,
and, pending such decision,
good order, quiet and reg
u!ar conduct of public af-
fairs must proceed. Con-
gress is not town meeting, but an
assembly of delegates, acting under
constitutional limitations, for the
performance Of essential objects
and peaceable and orderly mainten-
ance and continuance of the gov
ernment, under existing laws, is the
first duty. 70 amend and repeal
Objectionable laws and enact new
and needed reforms is a clear duty,
but the mode, and only legitimate
mode, is clearly pointed out by the
constitution, and no irregular meth
DDS can bejustifed.'
