The Prssiaenl's Message.

Through the enterprise Of the New
York "Times," in securing . copy Of
the Presidents message in advance of
its transmission to Congress, We are en-.
abled to lay before our readers to day
a condensed synopsis Of the Presidents
message, which by the time the REPuB-
LIcAs reaches its readers will no doub
have been read in both houses Of Con-
gress. The proof sheets Of the message
as well as Secretary Sherman's report,
we're in some manner, nobody seems to
know how, abstracted from the printing
Offices where the messages we're being
printed, and were sold for good round
sum Of money to three Of the leading
papers Of the country, each purchasing
them with the understanding that they
were buying them exclusively. No
natter how the message was obtained,
it has been published in advance, and
taking advantage of its advance publi-
cation, We let our readers have the
heneft Of full condensation OF it to-
day, though Congress only met at noon.
The message Is the largest and most
elaborate Of any that President Hayes
has ever yet sent to Congress, rivaling
in that respect the old time documents
of Buchanan, Pierce and Polk. The
message is distinguished for its mild
ness and conservatism upon tn leading
questions OF the day, it at the same time
breathes the frmness and determination
which have 80 distinguished the presi
dent during the extra session Of Con-
gress.

rhe Prosseusies Of Illegal Voters.

The Prosecution Of Illegal Voters
1t has been currently reported for .
week or more past that true bill wai
found sgainst Thomas Rile, an active
Republican Of the Fifth Ward, by the
late Grand Inquest, for voting illegally
ut the late city election, at the western
district Of that ward. The report was
that Mr.. Rils had not paid his tax and
that oonseq he had been return
cd by Mr.. Given, the collector Of the dis
trict as an error. Commenting upon this
ths "Gazstts" Of this city stated in an
article under the caption "The bitter
bitten" that Mr.. Rils had voted upon an
Altered tax receipt, the original receipt
having been issued for Thomas Riley,
but that the ~" had been erased and
made to suit Mr.. Rils's name. Mr.. Civ.
n,ths collector, having been shown the
receipt pronounced it genuine and
could not account for Mr.. Rile having
been returned as an error. The receipt
has been examined by quite . number
Of experts and none Of them have dis
covered the least signs Of an erasurs
having been made, and Of course il any
true bill has been found against Mr..
Rile, for illegal voting on account Of
not having paid his taxes the charge
will fall to the ground when confronted
with this genuine receipt. IN conse-
qusnce Of the "Gasstte" having aocus-
cd Mr.. Rile Of voting illegally, that
gentleman it was reported had institu-
ted libel suit against the paper named.
This latter report however We can au-
thoritatively state is only about half
true, Mr.. Rils only having in contsm.
plation the entering Of suit at the
next term of court. Leaving out the case
then of Mr.. Rile, the Democrats thus
far have only been successful in hav-
ing true bills found against one color
ed and one white Republican for ille-
gal voting, and both Of these are we'll
known to have voted illegally under q
Misunderstanding and not willfully and
Intentionally breaking the Law, and
hundreds Of Democrats did and tits very
doubtful whether the colorsd man Hook
ster, or the white man Mr.. Pyle, can bs |
convicted under the circumst ancss. The
Democrats did succeed in having true
bill found against person who they
supposed voted with the Republicans
In the Fifth Ward, but who it seems
has been for some time past regularly |
in the habit Of voting the Democratic
ticket, and consequently that indict-
ment counts on the other eide. II re-
ports are true about this last cass re.
ferred TO, it is plain fagrant case Of
illegal voting, and If the Democrats
succeed in convicting him, they will by
there own actions only prove thai
Msssrs. Allen and Carmichael of the
Fifth Ward were farther frcm being
elected to City Council than has been
before reported. The casss against Re-
publicans for illegal voting, even when
passed upon by Democratic Grand
Jury, and Democratic court with Dem.
ocrstic officers, thus far do not pan out
well-indeed they seem only to be
boomerangs, that return to torment the
prosecutors.

Puh,,e Executions.

Pubic Executions.
We regret 70 hear that the sherin Of
Cecil County has fully determined TO
execute Msdtord Waters in public next
Friday, Notwithstanding the numerous
petitions that have been sent to him
from what is supposed to be the better
class Of citizsns, begging him to execute
him in private with none present but
the necessary officers Of the law and the
ofaoiating spiritual ministers. The ex-
scution We see by the Elkton papsrs Ia
to be in an open field some distance from
the town, the Sheriff alleging as one Of
the reasons for doing so, that there were
many ladies and gentlemen living near
the jail in ElktOn who could not bear
the thought Of having the execution
within hearing or sight Of their resi-
dsncss, but TO remedy this the Sheriff
then determines to have the execution
in public away from the town to be sure,
but within the morbid gaze OF probably
five or six thousand people, large pro-
portion Of them women and children.
The Sheriff gives IS another reason for
. public execution, that 1t will deter
crime, which he says has become so
fsarfully prevalent in Cecil County.
No doubt he is honest in these opinions
but II he Ii he either never read about
the criminal results which flow from
public executions, or II he has, he has
not believed what he read. 1t IL the
general testimony Of those who are con-
vsrsant with such matters that the
sight Of public executions only harden
criminals and the law defying classss,
and in many instances murders have
been committed on the way home from
the gallows. The latest We have to
confirm this view Of the subject took
place last Thursday when Labsn
Walker was executed at Louisa Court
House. Virginia. party Of ten men
left to attend the execution, the dis,
patch stating that they were all drunk
and that they took whiskey with them.
On the way quarrel arose between
Elijah Jackson and Alonzo Burns about
horse trading. After some angry words
Burns drew pistol and shot Jackson
through the forehead, the bullet coming
,ut at the top Of his head. Burns is
but IL years Of age, the son Of promi-
,ent lawyer. Jackson is also a man of
'ome prominence, and it is thought that
,s will die. We only mention this a
he latest case, and to show that the
most Of people who attend public execu-
ions, do it to crafty . morbid taste,
orsign to an idea Of the reform which
sheriff Boulden expects to inaugursts
n Cecil County by public execution.
Isre in New Castle County, the ex'
rene mandate Of the law is carried out
D the prison yard of the jail and are,
o far as the law is concerned, private.
he ladies and gentlemen Of New Castle
rho live in the vicinity Of the Jail ex-
,eriepce none of these sensitive feelings
cared by the ladies and gentlemen of
3lkton. No nerves have been unstrung
Tor have We heard Of any swooning
way as the fatal drop fell. Executions
lsed to be in public in this county, but
! was thought best for the morals of
he people at large to change them to
'rivste executions, and none now re
ret the change, and We are sure that
here would be q general remonstrance
gainst return to public executions.

Another Advance of a Shilling Per Quarter
for Wheat Noted and Prices Firm

Another Advance of Shilling Per Quarter
for Wheat Noted and Prices Firm
Maize and Oats Lower and Trade Dull.
LONDON, March 19.-The Nark Lane ErDyess
says the strong er tone of London and provin-
cial exchanges has further developed the busi-
ness, which is marked by a gradual improving
tendency. Prices of all sound qualities of
home grown wheat have steadily advanced and
values are again quoted a shilling per quarter
higher: The generally improving state of
trade is largely felt in foreign wheat, of which
the imports into London amounted to only
l6,O6O quarters. Several varieties, particularly
Indian, met with ready sales at shilling per
quarter advance, and prices are upheld
by the legitimate action of supply
and demand untrammeled by fctious SUPPORT
OF speculative enterprise. Maize has been
steadily declining until prices reached point
seldom touched. This appears to have been
due mainly tn the continuance of large supplies
both from America and the Danube. It has
been difficult to find buyers. Oats have like
wise receded six pence to shilling per quarter
for all varieties Barley has maintained recent
values with dull trade for both mailing and
grinding descriptions. Sales of English wheat
are 51,834 quarters at 39s I'd, against 80, 29S
quarters at 49s 81 during the corresponding
period of the previous year. The imports into
the United Kingdom during the week ending
March were 45,507 hundred weights wheat
and 263, ,236 hundred weights -four.

BOLD ROBBERY.
Stealing Ring From Browns Jewelrv

Stealing Ring From Browns Jewelry
Store.
A daring robbery took place at Browns
jewelry store, No. IS East Third street.
about 4 O'Clock on Tuesday afternoon, the
facts of which came to light yesterday,
showing the affair to be the most systematic
daylight robbery that, has taken place since
the commencement of the current year.
At the hour named genteel look
ing individual entered the store,
and asked to be shown small tray contain
ing an assortment of ladies' and gentlemen's
scarf and finger rings, many of which were
regarded as very valuable. The tray was
produced and the fastidious customer com
mented upon the relative merits and value
of the articles, with glib familiarity and
discrimination that argued something more
than mere knowledge of the articles under
inspection.
Not being exactly suited with the iewelry
produced, he directed the salesman's atten-
tion to tray of knick-nacks in the case,. the
tray of Jewelty still remaining on the coun-
ter. While the 1atter's attention was di-
rected to the articles designated, the accom-
plished customer managed to transfer. the
most valuable ring from the tray to his own
finger, deftly supplying its place with q
cheap imitation of the ring stolen.
few minutes afterwards he bowed out of
the store, profusely thanking the obligine
clerk for his trouble, the theft of the RING
not being discovered until after he was out
of sight. The article was valued at $50
and up to last night no trace had been dis.
covered of the thief.

The Bones of Little Grow.

j. Fletcher Williams, the ancient custodian
of the State Historical society, is just hug
ging himself with delight over the receipt of
an interesting relic, or rather souvenir of
the most blood-thirsty red devil that ever
cursed the beautiful prairies and hunting
grounds of Minnesota with his baleful pres
ence. Little Grow. This souvenir was
kindly donated the society by DR.. Twitchell,
of Chatheld, and consists of the two princi-
pal bones OF the forearms of that noted cut
throat. 1t will be remembered by those
posted in Little Crows history, that in some
one of his many scrimmsges in his younger
days he was wounded in both his forearms
breaking the bones. These wounds caused
the arms to shrink and shrivel very ma
terially, so much so as to be q distinguish
ing mark in life, and lead to the identifica-
ton of his body when bis bloody and treach-
erous career had been brought to an end in
1863, near hutchinson, Nc
Leod county. At that time
DR.. Twitchell was surgeon in the army. In
the performance of his Official duties the
body of Little Crow fell into his hands, and
having an eye to the value of those shrunken
forearms, as historical relic, or souvenir, as
you will, he carefully severed them from the
body, and after retaining possession until
this time, has placed them where they will
best fulfill their mission, in the rooms of the
State Historical society. It may also be re-
markable that it is not improbable that the
remainder of the bones going to make up
Little Crows anatomy, will follow the fore
arms in due time.
