The Garrote is the instrument of
death always employed in executions
in Spain. Moncasi was it's latest
victim, and It is stated that since
the restoration of 1875 nearly fifty
persons in Spain have felt it's dead

fighter named Hernandez. The
execution is in public, the con>
demned being seated in chair
with the clamps of the carrot
about his throat at the signal the
executioner whirls round the heavy
handle that turns the screw, and
the mans throat is instantly cons
pressed, while an iron projection at
the back is squeezed with rosistless
force into the nape of the neck.
The body remains in view for some

MR.: KELLEY, PROPHET.

In 1877, Nov. 18th, Hon. VIM. D.
Kelly delivered speech which he alter
wards published with the motto, Gold
payments are impossible" Here are
extracts:
Py6.-"I have conversed conilentially with
many bankers and have not found one of them
when speaking coniidentally. who did not AL
nit that though the Treasury nicy resume specie
payments on the LIST Of January 1873, it cannot
maintain them for ,ceek.
Probably if Mr.. Kelley was now called
on for names, they would turn out to be
fiat names.
Here is another prophecy:
Pgs.-No, You can resort to the exclusive use
Of irredeemabie bank notes on the LIST of january
ls79, but you cannot resame gold payments.
This is Mr.. Kelley himself and yet
we have done it
Not content with this he puts it
stronger on page 9 as follows:
Mr.. Speaker, tell the gentlemen they are az
tempting an inpossibiify. The banks understand
all this They know there can be no resumption
Of speciepoy'nents.
And yet to-day any man who wants
gold for paper can get it.
Nevertheless this gentleman thus con.
victed ofconspicuous ignorance of finance
is having his speech circulated, filled
with similar misstatements.
Mr.. Kelley is the widest known of the
soft money men. This whole speech Of
Nov. Is, 1877, was labored argument
to prove that we could not resume. He
implored us not to become the laughing
stock of the world by trying to resume.
Nevertheless we have resumed specie
payments, have kept ourselves ready to
pay gold on demand and are the laugh
ing stock Of nobody.

NEW WORDS.

While many words once in common
use are now nearly obsolete, few persons
are aware how large a number of new
words are constantly coming into our Ian.
guage. The Supplement of the new edi'
ton of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary,
recently issued, contains among other
attractive features, an addition of over
1900 New Words and Meanings, and yet
it is but few years since a general re.
vision was made and great care taken to
insert all the words then properly belong
ing to the English Language. Where
these words come from and what they are,
is a surprise to persons who have not ex.
amined them. That they have not been
hastily compiled is evidenced by the ac-
curacy of and careful study given to
tn cir etymology and definitions.

Many prominent Greenbackers in this
county, we understand, have become
dissatisfied with the outlook for their
party. They are beginning to see the
tendency of the Democratic party as
shown by the action of its leaders in
Congress, and are heartily sick of the
utilization idea. They see that the sue
cess of the Republican party at the next
election is absolutely necessary for the
welfare of the Republic. The hideous
doctrine of States Rights again rears its
head in the councils Of the Nation and
they, ia common with Republicans, see
alike the necessity of choking it down.
We believe it is the duty of Republicans
to welcome them back and once more
have these men in the ranks of the old
party. Here's our H6r to all who be.
lieve this is a Nation and not a govern
ment of Sovereign States.

The circular Of the Republican execu-
tive committee of Mississippi to the voters
of that state contains this significant pas
sage: THE vigilant eye of the govern
ment of the United States is now upon
Mississippi, and the staggering bully
with his revolver may find himself in the
clutches of the law before the cleo ton,
and We have the assurance from Washing
ton that when the iron hand ofjustice is
laid upon the violators of the election law
there will be no "child's play" By all
means register and be ready to vote; and
if any of the steps in this direction are
hindered or thwarted, inform some dis
Greet and intelligent Republican. He will
inform the United States marshal, or one
OF his deputies, and the man who inter
feres with you will soon find himself face
to face with the government of the Uni
ted States"

know where he ever displayed it. AS the
manager of the L., L. & G. railroad he
was laughing stock. He never succeed.
ed in any business enterprise, excepting
possibly an occasional horse trade, and he
never was solvent. He left Leavenworth
in debt. and, shortly after his arrival in
San Francisco was brought into court,
and swore he had no property on earth

his friends. He is q fraud, nominated
