Hanged.

LOWELL, Neb., April Richards, the
Nebraska murderer. about whom so much
has been said, was hung at Minden. Kear-
ney county, at l:l7 to-day. He mounted
the scaffold with steady step, and stood

on the public squares pen made of pine
boards, 16 feet square-in which the exc
cution was to be held, the law of Nebraska
makiug private execution necessary. At
noon to-day mob tore this shed down, and
the execution was public. After mount
ing the scaffold he spoke to the crowd FIVE
minutes, saying he was not guilty of the
crime for which be was convicted. He
spoke with amazing 6rmness, and aston
ished everybody who heard him. A pin
might have been heard to fall while he
spoke. When he finished, prayers were
made, and to the astonishment Of every.
body Richards spiritual adviser said Rich.

Republican Tactics,

The St. Louis Republican, commenting
upon ConkliDgs speech, thus defines the
action OF the republicans:
But the readiness with which Conkling
joins in the republican declaration of war,
shows how small is the prospect for peace SO
long az that party has any influence in poii-
ical affli~s. Patriotism is drowned in parti-
sanship, and every nationslinterest is thrust
out OF sight TO make room for the ma
chiuery of agitation which has already
brought upon the country innumerabe
curses and not a single blessing.
The same paper also remarks that for
tunately the people have had their eyes
opened to the true intent and meaning of
republican tactics. In spite of all the
revolution hullaballoo, the popular pulse
beats steadily and calmly, and everything
goes on as usual. Outside of Washington

The Memo Park Invention

The letters patent Tor Edson's electric
light have been issued and the world cat
now rejoice in an inexhaustible supply Of
light; with this advantage, that it can be
had at any point on the earth, without re
gard to locality or the means OF transport
ing large quantities of bulky material The
two essential advantages of Edson's patent
are regulating, automatically, the electric
current, so as to prevent excessive heat
and the regulating of the heat in the..ail
chamber Of the lamp so as to limit the pas
sage of the current so that it will produce
the required degree of light, no more or nc
less. These two results bring the inven-
ton within the reach of ordinary iilumin-
alton purposes and are the main features
of the invention.

The Eight Hour Law.

At the beginning of the present session
of congress THE ARGUS published an ex-
tract from a letter written by an iDtiuen-
tial democratic member of congress from
this state, in which he said that Represen-
tative Cox, of New York, who has always
been the especial champion OF the Eight
Hour Law, would introduce, during the
present session, bill providing for the
enforcement of the act approved May 18th,
1872, making appropriations for the SER
vice of the government. This act was tor
the payment Of laborers, workmen and
mechanics in the government employ who
were required either to work ten hours for
a day 8 labor, contrary 20 the act of June
25th, 1868, or to have their pay reduced
one-ffth, working eight hours.
Mr.. Cox, on Wednesday OF last week,
introduced bill which goes further than
the act of 1872. 1t will be remembered
that the act of 1872 provided only for the
payment of the amount deducted from the
pay of all laborers, workmen and mechan-
les employed by the government between
June 25th, 1868, the date of the passage
of the law, and May 10th, 1869, whether
the reduction was caused by lessening the
amount of pay per day when working
eight hours or continuing to work ten
hours without increase of pay. Mr.. Coxs
bill now before congress not only requires
the enforcement of this act, but provides
that eight hours labor shall constitute a
days work, aud that laborers, whose wages
were reduced on account of working but
eight hours per day, or who have been re-
quired to work more than eight hours per
day without increased pay at any time
since the passage of the act Of June 25th,
1868, constituting eight hours a days
work, shall be allowed Day at the per diem
rate for the additional number of hours
they may have been required to work unit
such time as they may be so paid.
The bill appropriates an amount sufh
ciept to meet the requirements of its pro
visions out of any money in the treasur!
not otherwise appropriated. Again vi
ask the workingmen to remember VIII
their friends are, and who have Away
been their friends in congress.

Something to Remember,

Senator Conkling's speech shows after
all that New York is the State where the
republicans want the army and their mar
shals, and not in the south. This is all
very proper on Conkliug's part where his
very intimate friend, John |. Davenport,
buldozeG 10000 citizens out Of their ballots
last fall just. because they were democrats
where he imprisoned hundreds of voters
like malefactors because they attempted
to exercise the right of American citizens
by voting for whom they pleased, instead
of voting the republican ticket. 1t is all
very well to talk of the purity of elections
when, as the New York Express says,
Hayes holds his Office through frauds IN
precedented in our history and bad
enough to make every patriot hang down
his head with sorrow and feel anxious for
the future of his country. Mr.. Conkling
has moderated the intelligence of the
American people He should talk up &c
their brains, he will never fed their
brains by talking down" But to
understand Conkliug's position Alright il
his TRADE against the New York Tammany
and the Tweed era of stealing, it must be
remember that the same republican leg
isature which Tweed bought at so much
a head, and which passed what is known
as the Tweed charter" whereby the
enormous debt was inflicted on New York
city under which it yet groans-ls the
the same Legislature that elected Roscoe
Conkling to the United States Senate,
